If A Person Can React To Things Happening In Femtoseconds

The comic character flash can react to things occurring at Femtoseconds.

What exactly would the world look like to someonewho sees things in femtoseconds?

Also

The comic character has a feat of running as fast 1 Trillion Times The Speed Of light .

How long would it take him to run across the milky way galaxy?

If they could see faster than the speed of light, they could possibly predict quantum superpositions of events and choose the specific eigenstate they want, thus allowing proto-reality alteration.

This reminds me of the Atom in JLA being able to see while smaller than an electron.

Cannot imagine what will happen, interesting topic

The world would be very, very slow, his body would be extremely different to account for the extreme forces, he may have trouble seeing things when at a standstill, and unless he functioned by warping space, he'd have serious problems slowing down and with time travel when running at full speed.

Mindship Snap out of it.

Let's say -- with normal perception -- I see someone sneeze, which lasts about a second. You have femtosecond perception, so you can see things which happen a million billion times faster, or, ordinary things (like a sneeze) appear to be a million billion times slower. So a sneeze would appear to last to you what a million billion seconds -- or about 300 million years -- would last to me.

This can be easily calculated. I'll get ya started...
- The galaxy is 100,000 lightyears across. It takes light 100,000 years to cross it, or about 32 trillion seconds. That's lightspeed.
- At a trillion times lightspeed...well, you can take it from here...

I did this fast before breakfast. Hopefully my numbers are accurate. 😮‍💨

Post-breakfast correction.

I was going to bring up this "non-photonic-vision" issue

That'd just make them oracles or seers. Reality alteration(of any kind) doesn't seem a feasible by-product at all.

Very slow.

Edit: Around ten-millionth of a year. Or 3.15 seconds approximately.

That's still a thousand times slower than what a femtosecond processing vision could achieve.

You have to had taken a dive into the shallow end of the pool. Because this has to be one of the most stupid things I've ever read.

You must not read very much.

Quantum, Astner, it works because of quantum 313

More than most I'd think.

Yeah, no, that's not quite how it works.

He was referring to the pseudo-scientific quantum voodoo in Lestov's post. Sarcasm is clearly not your cup of tea.

Physics is serious business, guys.

I actually somewhat agree with Astner though (eww).
