No, that's still time slicing. One of the basic laws of physics is that two things can not occur at the same instance in time. One of the reasons you have a clock frequency in electronic devices is to make sure everything has it's own time slot and is 'clocked properly. In the human world magicians use this 'trick' as the human eye can not see everything at the same time i.e it can;t multitask, humans can't multitask. They just think they can because they aren't clever enough to realise they can't.

Well I don;t maybe you do ;-) But do you understand the difference between such things. I can breathe while asleep that isn't multitasking either. If you get down to small time events you'd understand how it works. > Your brain might be different from a typical human brain. Well I wouldn;t mind one that can defy the laws of physics.

In movies they tend to have the annoying habit of playing the music much louder than the dialogues.. a very annoying habit. Makes you want to turn down the volume every time the music comes up and turn it up again in case of a dialogue. Oh well, I've seen too many movies anyway so nowadays I try to avoid most movies unless they are really worthwhile and those movies are few and far between. > > > The pleasure derived from listening > > to good music adds up to the pleasure derived from listening > > to a fascinating audiobook. > > If I'm listening to a facsinating audio book then why would I want to listen > to music ?

So if you have a conversation with someone, you can't walk and you have to stand still and keep your eyes closed in order to keep track of the conversation? Your brain might be different from a typical human brain. > > > Sometimes I worry that I might die of a pleasure overdose, but > > pleasure is one of those rare things that you can't have too much of. > > The simpler the mind the more easy that becomes. Shallow minds can only experience superficial pleasures.
