I’ve heard about time slips on many occasions. This isn’t time travel where you plan to visit another time but an accidental slip to another time period. I have often wondered what and how this happened and how would I handle something like it. Folks tell me all the time they would be prepared to handle just about anything. Until you find yourself in some unknown situation you don’t know what you might do or how you might react. That’s why training is so important but how do you train for something like time slips?
Lionel Fanthorp had a theory on how the time line might actually look. Instead of one continues string running in a straight line he said maybe it was more like a ball of string. As two parts of the time line crossed each other the timelines merged, allowing the people on both sides to see each other. In some instances they even interacted.
