…being multiplied
Mar 28
As my wife and I were making our final preparations for our trip this afternoon, I received an automated phone call from the airline informing us of a delay. This delay (of course) caused a cascade of consequences: we are now flying into Madrid through Paris, as opposed to directly from Atlanta; We will be arriving in Madrid in the afternoon rather than the morning which means we will be missing a very important appointment with a lawyer. But this delay has also caused an existential situation worthy of some of the better episodes of Start Trek. Thanks to the wonders of technology and moderately helpful travel agents, we are now booked on two different flights at roughly the same time. Have we inadvertently just caused a rift in the temporal flow of space-time?
