Explosions are also compressions of time. Observable changes in the natural
universe all are explosive to some degree and from some point of view;
otherwise you would not notice them. Smooth Continuity of change, if slowed
sufficiently, goes without notice by observers whose time/attention span is
too short. Thus, I tell you, I have seen changes you would never have
marked.
