Finding the Magic

 

No trees were harmed in the making of this post.  No paper was used, no pencils or pens, only pixels.  I am typing this on a desk style computer.  It has a tower with it, which is where, I’m guessing, all these pixels are stored.  I don’t know how many it holds, but I’m hoping there’s an endless supply.

I lifted the tower up onto the desk by myself, so I don’t think pixels are all that heavy.  Really, think about it…  To be able to lift an endless supply of pixels must be something.  This leads me to think that if we consider the atomic weight of each pixel, then the longer words would have to weigh more than the very short ones.  It is with that in mind that I have to consider the following;

Until I take these pixels and form words with them, they have no idea how long or short the word I’m about to make will be.  Consequently, when they are all in one big jumble inside the tower each one must weigh the same.  This must be the magical part of computers.
