They wanted s****l data, meaning I was to engage in s****l activities with different types of women from their planet. It couldn’t be that bad, could it? Besides, I’m currently single and lacking s****l experience, quite eager actually. "Where in the universe is your planet located? Is it in the Milky Way? How far is it from Earth?"
"We don’t usually answer such questions," was their response.
"How long will I stay on your planet?"
"By Earth’s measure of time, about a month."
"That’s a long time. My family will worry."
"No, they won’t. The way time passes for us is different. The time you spend touring our planet plus the journey here and back won’t exceed a single Earth night. We’ll return you before dawn, and no one, including your family, will realize you’ve been to our planet."
I was skeptical of Norton’s words, "Do you have such capabilities? Can you reverse time?"
"We can’t reverse time. Reversing time would mean changing the speed at
which time passes, and it seems like changing the speed could achieve the effect of reversing time.
However, the speed of time is a relative concept. In different parts of the universe, on different planets, time may pass at different speeds. It only makes sense to compare the passage of time in two different places; talking about the speed of time passing in the same place is meaningless. For example, the concept of size only makes sense when comparing different objects; comparing the size of the same object is meaningless.
“We use artificial field scanning technology to irradiate a specific area of space, filling it with an energy field to change the speed at which time passes. This technology can make time in one area pass slower than in another. This concept is known on our planet as the potential difference of time.
Conversely, we can make time in one area pass faster than in another. The concept of time moving faster or slower doesn’t apply to the same location; reversing time is impossible because it would require events to happen backward at the same spatial location and point. As I said, comparing the passage of time at the same location is meaningless."
Norton explained patiently, but my mind was numb, and I couldn’t understand. "We can now create some phenomena of time reversal in a localized spatial area, but we can only make a certain event rapidly revert to its previous state and start over. We can’t achieve complete, pure, step-by-step phenomena of time reversal," added the physicist Suldair, which only confused me more.
"Any other questions?" Norton asked, looking into my eyes, as my ears caught his words.
"If there are no more questions, we’ll now begin our journey back."
Norton waved his hand in the air, and suddenly, a white, delicate, square-shaped mist appeared. This mist then formed a three-dimensional hologram flashing with text I didn’t recognize, as Norton operated it with his fingers.
A clear, standard, sweet female voice came through my ears, continuously speaking. Suddenly, I felt lighter, guessing we were already on our way to their planet.
