I saw myriads of particles of light appear out of nowhere, leave their bright trail as they moved, and then disappear once their energy ran out. Then, black lighting would strike those trails, eradicating them from the world.
This process turned the black universe I was in into a festival of fireworks, brighter than the brightest day I had ever experienced. But as the flow of time continued to accelerate, all of the lights suddenly vanished.
Which could only mean one thing.
The process itself was happening so rapidly that no human eye could ever observe it!
'So why could I see it just a moment ago?' I asked myself when all the lights disappeared, and I dropped my attempts at applying the knowledge from earth to the world around me.
Now that I had taken a new approach to understanding my situation, the answer to my question turned out to be so damn obvious it was no wonder I didn't notice it before.
