Even more interesting to me is when my physicist friend told me that the Uncertainty Principle is deeply rooted in the trade off between time window size and frequency resolution of the FFT. Kinda demystifies a whole decade of my life...

Time is not visible in Pd, it's just there and normally always walks on. But inside of a FFT-subpatch, time is frozen for the duration of a block (or rather: the "current time" is assumed to be infinite or eternal) to allow calculating a different representation: the frequency domain representation. If you think about this freezing of time for too long this is actually quite mind-blowing as well.
