"There are two schools of thought about the resilience of time. The first is that time is higly volatile, with every small event altering the possible outcome of the earth's future. The other view is that time is rigid, and no matter how hard you try, it will always spring back toward a determined present. As for me, I do not worry myself with such things. I simply sell ties to anyone who wants to buy them..."
