A split second is the space between two seconds. The gap between past and future; not just now, but part of now that is a void, seemingly frozen in time. In it, nothing changes. What might change is the way we relate to it. Habitual coordinates such as subject and object, gravity and antigravity are feed up. This feeling of reconstituting our way of experiencing the world can happen suddenly, in a jolt. We do not feel the split second, but only realize afterwards that we have lived through one.

To qutote my friend Otto Rössler: "How long does it take an astronaut to get out of a black hole? About a day, but for people who are not in the hole, the astronaut takes forever. Only very few people know this."
