Brownian Motion Single Path Zoom

From the creator

Brownian Motion is not smooth at any scale. No matter how far one zooms in on it, more detail appears. It never stops. It never repeats. It never dilutes. It is jagged, chaotic, and awesome. We zoom into Brownian Motion near a place where it hits 0, which is fixed in the center of the screen. What do you see? Every second in the video, the x-axis (time) doubles in size. Every two seconds, the y-axis (space) doubles in size. Zooming in from the present on the time axis: By 5 seconds you would observe the first galaxies forming. By 16 seconds you would observe the separation of matter and radiation. By 52 seconds you would observe the first atoms forming. By 72 seconds you would observe the first electrons. By 99 seconds you would observe the first protons. By 175 seconds you would observe cosmic inflation. By 202 seconds you would observe the Planck Time, the earliest time that modern physics can describe. Zooming in on the space axis: By 100 seconds, an electron would be stretched to 3 meters. By 180 seconds, a meterstick would be expanded to the size of the observable universe. Over 25 minutes remain. Beyond, you are looking at details of Brownian motion far beyond any scale that is comprehensible to humans, details which have been never been observed by any other human. At the end, time has expanded by 2^1800 ~ 7.1 x 10^541. At the end, space has expanded by 2^900 ~ 8.4 x 10^270. There are no reasonable interpretations of the scale of these numbers. ― mCoding with
