Deep dives
Encounter with a Time Traveler
During a trip to Phoenix, the narrator and a security guard witness a man dressed in 1920s attire walking with a limp and carrying a cane. They strike up a conversation with him, and he reveals that he is a silent actor and a locksmith. However, when he walks away, he seems to glitch in time, covering a significant distance in a short span. This strange encounter leaves the narrator questioning whether he had come face-to-face with a time traveler.
Belief in Time Travel
The narrator expresses his belief in the possibility of time travel, citing the encounter in Phoenix and the concept of time travel theorized by Albert Einstein. He also mentions that he saw a woman who claimed to have also witnessed a time traveler and believes that there are dimension holes and glitches in the simulation we live in.
Speculation on the Nature of the Encounter
Possible explanations for the encounter include the man being a cosplayer or eccentric individual, an alien trying to blend in with humans, or a glitch in the simulation we live in. The narrator acknowledges that he can't definitively explain what he saw, but the experience has left him intrigued and open to the existence of time travel.
Questions and Contemplations
The narrator ponders whether time travel is a one-way trip to the future or if it allows for travel to both the past and the future. He also considers the possibility of time travel coexisting with alternative dimensions and questions the true nature of reality and the limits of human understanding.
