time

Suddenly found that, in fact, the setting of "Time Machine" and "Hyperion" are quite similar, they all think that time is a two-way or even multi-directional plane dimension, if the distance of a straight line can not help them reach a certain coordinate, then the detour or roundabout way is also possible. In Hyperion, traveling through time is an innate ability, a gift, but in the time machine, the time traveler sees time as a fourth coordinate besides length, width and height. We can certainly use transportation to shorten the time it takes to get from A to B. We can certainly use a time machine to shorten the time it takes to get from today to a day a million years from now.
