So what is a property? When water becomes ice we call it a 'emergence'. Does it gain new properties? Was they there before?
The last question seems more important than what one might think. Was it there before? Would that be how you can identify a property? Think of 'c', as a clock. Split it, split it again, just keep splitting this 'clock speed' into smaller and smaller chunks. Does the property of 'c' disappear, the clock stop? Planck scale is defined as the place where light takes one Planck 'step' at one Planck 'time'.
does the clock disappear there?
What about the property of a clock?

Properties are tricky, if you ever used a cup you know that it has a property, its form and function. The form and function is a result of our demands, and it becomes the property of a container. But physical properties then? Like spin? And 'c', and emergences, giving us new properties?

It's about scales too. Using 'c' as a clock. If Planck scale is a real delimit of what's observable, and the clock stops, does the property disappear with it? Would you then call it a 'emergence' when it starts to 'tick' again?

You know what, I don't really give a sh*
I want you to be brave, I want you to push the barriers.
I will not promise you that it won't cost you.

We seem to be losing out to life.
What will we blame it on? The last one of us, the one standing on the isotropic and homogeneous dung heap we will leave? the others? Those that's no longer here? I don't know, what I know is that bravery is ageless, and you have it.

Go for it.
Make something change, and give us a chance.
