Vampyroteuthis
How can humans en-
trust their acquired information to inanimate objects like paper or stone? It is well known that these
objects are subject to the second law of thermodynamics, according to which they must decompose
and be forgotten. In his abyss, where everything is mired in sedimentation and where everything is
submerged in fluid, the impermanence and unreliability of all inanimate materials in fact become
more apparent than on the relatively dead surface of the continents, where bleached bones can lie
around for centuries. And yet, the laughable error that has led to human art may not only be laughed
at – insofar as Vampyroteuthis is capable of laughing – but also deserves to be properly considered.

Locality says that particles interact at points in space-time. But suppose you want to inspect space-time very closely. Probing smaller and smaller distance scales requires ever higher energies, but at a certain scale, called the Planck length, the picture gets blurry: So much energy must be concentrated into such a small region that the energy collapses the region into a black hole, making it impossible to inspect. “There’s no way of measuring space and time separations once they are smaller than the Planck length,”
