Chronicles of a time traveler.

What is known, is unknown.

HAVE YOU NOTICED, in the everyday world, we never really know what to expect..? Surprise events, unintended consequences, instability… And the shorter the time frame, the greater the risk of misjudging what may happen next..?

It is as though what is closest to us, what we see most clearly and have the greatest ability to influence is, nonetheless, unpredictable.

And the further one steps back, the more the world is seen to be general and predictable, until it is entirely predictable, at the largest scale.

Here’s what’s queer: The things which are regard as entirely predictable and unchanging, such as the force of gravity or speed of light, are things that defy explanation as to why they exist at all.
