Seriously, dude? That's what you're gonna take away from this? I mean, if we're gonna be that nit-picky about it, maybe I'm only seeing a slice of the universe's timeline. Or something.
Ah, 'timeline' might not be the best term here, we really should take relativity and dilation into account. I mean, space-time especially is not constant. The faster we go the more time slows down.

[He tilts his head.]
Maybe you were just moving really, really fast?

...who the what now? Time slows down the faster you go?

I mean, I've never been that big on the real hard sciences but I've read my Einstein?
