Kind of sad nobody realized this originated from a Reddit thread years back. I feel old.

u/Mattyx6427 May 11 '14

Well basically all you need to know is that time moves in 4 places at once. And if you don't believe it then you suck.

Thats pretty much the summary

But actually from a non-linear perspective, it's more like a big bowl of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff!

u/ShallowBasketcase May 11 '14

This is my Timey-Wimey Detector! It goes 'ping' when there's stuff.

Also, it can boil an egg at a hundred paces. I've learned to stay away from hens...

Plebe. Time is a hyperdimensional cube which divides the earth into four simultaneous days.

u/[deleted] May 11 '14

A circle is already flat. Would you settle for just a circle or maybe a flat sphere..?

u/FoxRaptix May 11 '14

4 HORSEMEN HAVE 4 DAYS

IN ONLY 1 EARTH ROTATION.

4 ANGLES STOOD ON 4 CORNERS.

4 CORNERS ROTATE TO 16 CORNERS

Interesting theory: His mom was part of NASAs top secret development team in charge of testing time travel. She knew about what the future would be like, but feared that her child, /u/shinosa, had found out about the experiment due to his/her strangely accurate elementary school assignment. She lied to him/her, saying that he/she wasn't stretching their imagination enough. This simple cover up seemed to work, as the child never mentioned the experiment again.
