An instant is a infinitesimal moment in time, a moment whose passage is instantaneous.
The continuous nature of time and its infinite divisibility was addressed by Aristotle in his Physics where he wrote on Zeno's paradoxes. The philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell was still seeking to define the exact nature of an instant thousands of years later.
In physics, a theoretical lower-bound unit of time called the Planck time has been proposed, that being the time required for light to travel a distance of 1 Planck length. The Planck time is theorized to be the smallest time measurement that will ever be possible, roughly 10−43 seconds. Within the framework of the laws of physics as we understand them today, for times less than one Planck time apart, we can neither measure nor detect any change. As of May 2010, the smallest time interval that was directly measured was on the order of 12 attoseconds (12 × 10−18 seconds), about 1024 times larger than the Planck time. It is therefore physically impossible, with current technology, to determine if any action exists that causes a reaction in "an instant", rather than a reaction occurring after an interval of time too short to observe or measure.
Step inside my world
A world Where Chaos Reigns
Let the nightmares be your guide
Through this land of endless suffering
All Seekers of the Truth
Must rise to face this challenge
Together we shall exterminate
These Purveyors of Deception
We walk upon the fine line that divides order from chaos
A razor's edge on the brink of insanity
Behold, the end times are near
Our time grows short
We must prepare for the ordeals that lie ahead
While others sleep, chaos will breed
We must awaken
Surrounded by the mindless
And the hopelessly mundane
Hope not for a brighter future
Hope for a quick and merciful end
Where Chaos Reigns
Nameless, faceless, soulless
Beaten, broken, hopeless
In a furture so uncertain
Is our fate to be or not to be?
Behold, the end times are near
Our time grows short
We must prepare for the ordeals that lie ahead
While others sleep, chaos will breed
We must awaken
Surrounded by the mindless
And the hopelessly mundane
Hope not for a brighter future
