<br />So the spatial difference between two gravitons is something like the distance between two stars(ours and another) and, an atom is hit by many different gravitons at once(without them hitting one another)?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Correct.

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">I dont know the dimensions but, in the above scenario the atom must be the equivalent of the visible universe, where a graviton is the size of a planet?!?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">If you had said a star instead of a planet, the analogy would be closer to our best estimates of the actual relative sizes. But you now have the right general idea.

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Also it seems like the old addage "as above so below" seems to fit with this model -fractal or holographic type structure?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Well said. In MM, all scales are fundamentally the same. -|Tom|-

If all scales are the same, and there do exists a world inside and atom (just an example). Wouldent the timeflow there have to be much much slower than our world?

However, if one is living and working at some particular scale, time on that scale is simply a measure of change on that scale, so time seems to flow normally at all scales. This shows how the rate of flow of time in MM is relative and subjective - something we already knew from human experience. (Just try watching the grass grow sometime and see how time slows down!) -|Tom|-
