PHC, HSLDA Operate on Different Times Points

I've just figured out why I barely see any of my HSLDA friends any more! I just received confirmation that PHC and HSLDA actually exist at different points in time! This fact can be readily demonstrated with the phone system. The phone system is based in the HSLDA time point. Since the system itself exists in the HSLDA time point, extensions that reach into the PHC time point continue to operate on the HSLDA time point--two minutes ahead of the PHC time point. The result is missing phone calls, missing meetings, and two different spheres of operation. There is hope that HSLDA-PHC relationships can be maintained. As time and work seem to be the source of the difference, such relationships must rely more heavily on non-time or non-work based means--such as e-mails, blogs, and social functions.

To my HSLDA friends: I do appreciate the instances we manage to overcome the time barriers and are able to visit. Hope to see you soon!

Awesome! To warp spacetime like that, they must have a little black hole or neutron star stored away is some closet!

But discontinuities in the spacetime of HSLDA/PHC could lead to disastrous results!

If a person left the HSLDA local spacetime continuum at 11:10 and traveled at significant but still non-relativistic speeds to the PHC spacetime continuum, he would arrive at 11:08. Apparently, the phone system spans the discontinuity without measurable time loss. So a person could call from the local PHC spacetime and talk to themselves in HSLDA before they had left!

This obviously poses a potential timeline crisis. If someone kept himself on the phone for too long, the HSLDA version could not leave to come down to PHC to talk with himself. Would the PHC version of the person still exist?

Further cogitation: could a person travel back in time by quickly running to the PHC spacetime and calling himself in HSLDA to tell himself to run down right away - earlier than he had just run down? By repeating this, the person from HSLDA would slowly move backward in time, right?

If you did that you could get stuck in an infinite loop.
