Through an electron microscope, atoms look like snooker balls despite being almost entirely composed of empty space because electrons move so fast through such a small area that for all practical purposes they're everywhere at once. Logically, if the Historical Repetition Coefficient drops below a critical value, the same thing will happen to history. Everything which has every happened will become permanent. Scientific opinion is divided as to whether or not this would cause the future to implode, but either way, you might as well cancel the papers and milk. Especially the milk.
