What is time?
Time is exactly the same for all of us – the minute, the hour, the day, the week, the month, the year, the decade – they are the same for everyone.
No one has more or less of it in a day, in a week, in a year, and so on.
This is a universal truth about time.
Time does not play favorites nor does it discriminate.
Time is the universal adjuster, the master equalizer for all things.
In the small scheme, we measure it with grains of sand in the hourglass.
In the grand scheme, we measure time by planetary motion, moon phases or by human created standards (the Gregorian calendar, Greenwich meantime).
Time is a convention we readily accept in our day-to-day lives as a basic fact of life. It is the past, the present, the future.
Time can go slowly or quickly. Paradoxically, it can pass slowly yet feel as though it passes quickly, when the hours seem like minutes.
The opposite also happens when the minutes seem like hours.
At one time or another all of us have these experiences.
Time’s forward movement brought us to where we are now.
This is today.
This is our real time.
Is it possible to disrupt these truths about time?
Maybe.
Introduction
We are the culmination of all that has been.
We are the sum of evolution, civilization, history, the totality of our collective human experience.
Millions of years ago an ancient civilization foresaw the arrival of our time, and our troubles.
They created a spaceship capable of controlling time.
The ship’s purpose is to protect future humanity from the deadly forces of nature and technology.
Until now, there was no need.
The time is upon us.
The ship is here.
Four childhood friends reunite as revised adults.
