When I went to underground train this morning I passed an ad which was stating “The only place in the world you wish time stood still”. So what would you get from this, I asked myself. When time stood still, I wouldn’t care because MY time stood still, too.

This leads to the conclusion, that our existence and awareness needs these ticks of time we define as period of elementary particle processes. What is the minimal time period? Probably the time it takes to move one elementary particle the minimal distance. What´s the minimal distance? I don´t know. Perhaps every particle is everywhere at every time and we only change our view? There are plenty of theories around this and I don´t want to add one more here.

What I really do think about is, what happens between two of these minimal time ticks? What if between two of them there is a very long break which happens in another time. In this OTHER time everything gets arranged for the next tick. Sounds mad, doesn´t it?

So now imagine a computer at todays levels of CPU power and incredible huge storage to hold the third dimension coordinates of all elementary particles including there features as spin, type etc. that makes up a universe equal sized to ours. Now this computer might simulate the universe by moving each elementary particle one by one inside the rules of quantum physics (ok, lets assume multicore processing and some neat algorithms). From outside the computer it will take a very long time to get things (the next tick of time) done. But inside the computer and inside the simulated universe time will run as smoothly as OURS. So does it still sound so mad to talk about time that run between ours?
