William Blake said: To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower. Is he prophesying the coming of Zip? Is it possible to see the world in exactly one grain of sand?

Find a grain of sand that weighs a very specific value, say 0.4374284729... gram. Then with a very accurate machine we shall measure its weight very very accurately.

Then, we shall read that specific value, position by position, and convert the value in each position to binary numbers. For example, from the value of 0.4374.. we will get, 0, 100, 11, 111, 100, etc. Appending the values one after the other, we will get a very long string of 1 and 0.

Now feed the string into a Turing Machine (computer), and generate the digital sound and fury, that probably signify nothing, hidden in a grain of sand.
