The blinking ship lights... I hate how everyone else gets neat little intervals, and Takkan is there trying to make three missing seconds belong to him before they get handed to physics.
Takkan’s frustration is that clocks don’t actually detect “time” directly. They detect repeating physical processes. So to him, if gravity or motion changes those processes, the measurements changing only proves the system changed, not necessarily that time itself did. Which is why any “lost time” feels like it belongs to him before it belongs to physics.
Couldn’t help but fall for Takkan, deeply reflective and questioning, someone who doesn’t just accept answers but keeps searching when something about reality doesn’t feel right. We need more people like him. <3
Thank you so much. That’s exactly what Takkan is trying to understand. Whether time is truly something that exists within clocks, or if clocks only reflect the changes happening in matter, motion, and reality itself.

Thank you, Petra. That means a lot to me. Takkan's curiosity and refusal to stop questioning are qualities I deeply admire as well.
You’re most welcome <3
Fantastic piece! 😁 I really love it! 🥰
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you liked it.
This is so well written. I love it, it brings in different perspectives attempting to understand the concept of time.
