Summary

Join us this week as we take a departure from our standard format. Instead of focusing on one event, we've decided to tell you 7 different stories all united by one common theme: Time Travel, and, in particular, Time Slips, a phenomena by which unwitting and unwilling participants are plucked from the streets of their home town and thrown down Time's lazy river hundreds and sometimes thousands of years away. We regret to inform you that Sam was a dummy and forgot to save his sources as he goes for this episode. He will hopefully be able to find them again and update the show notes with them later this week.

0:02.0	Hello and welcome to the Not Alone podcast. I'm Sam Frederikson and I'm Jason Moisoso. And today we're going to take
0:22.6	you through some tales of time slips. Uh, really quick, we'd like to thank Christops from the
0:29.3	Eastern Border podcast. He actually suggested the idea, just said that he'd like to hear something
0:34.7	about time travel and all of that. So we did some diggin,
0:37.9	figured it'd be a great show, and that's what this week's going to be about. I'm excited because really
0:43.6	I spent, I've learned a lot about time travel. Did you? Yes, I did. Now I learned all the science
0:49.9	to say it's wrong. Okay. Well, let's talk about time slips, time traveled.
0:55.5	So ever since 1895, which was the publication of H.G. Wells' short story, the time machine,
1:03.2	time travel has been ubiquitous in our science fiction, in our culture.
1:09.4	And in that short story, it was actually the first time that the
1:12.4	time machine, that term, yeah. Yeah, the concept was used and coined where we visualized space
1:21.4	as another dimension that we could move through if only we had the proper vehicle. And in that book, the narrator goes through and he
1:31.6	jumps like to the year. To the future. Yeah. He jumps into like 802,701 AD. And he finds that
1:41.6	humanities evolved into two different groups.
1:48.6	He has some misadventures there, and then he jumps forward 30 million years on time.
1:51.2	And then he just keeps jumping forward and forward and forward.
1:56.1	And then he sees the earth stop rotating, and he sees the sun go out.
1:59.8	And what I love about it is I was reading a synopsis of the book, and it says,
2:01.1	The narrator witnesses the sun go dark and the earth cease to rotate.
2:05.1	This overwhelms the narrator.
