Time Travel and Daylight Savings
Guess what Kelvin is thinking about today? Da da da da, that’s right, Kelvin is thinking about daylight saving time. I love the beginning and end of daylight saving time. Isn’t it exciting to watch the hour hand snap from 2am to 1am (or vice versa)? For me, this is more exciting than counting down for new year.
I was thinking, what if there’s a disaster that’s going to happen, and people from the future send a messenger to warn us and stop it from happening, only to fail his mission because the time traveler was confused by daylight saving time and couldn’t get to the correct moment in time?
Daylight saving time can be confusing and possibly devastating for people that time travel but didn’t pay enough attention to the one hour difference! And think about it, a few days ago, we had a day in which we went from 1am to 2am twice. What if this was in April where one hour is lost? What if the guy that time travels decides to land in this missing hour? Another related question… what if this guy decides to come back to February 29 when it wasn’t a leap year? What’s going to happen to him? Is he going to go into some unknown time or dimension? Or is he going to fall into a gap in time, and it would be some kind of time-warp blackhole that sucks him in and then spits him out into another arbitrary time?
Anyway, the next episode might be about daylight saving time. Or not, I don’t know, but daylight saving time was the thing that was on my mind.
