Time Is Fluid…And Tends To Seep
(Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?)

A half-century ago, the phrase “the hour that stretches” was generally considered to be metaphor, with no actual chronometric, theological, or philosophical experts considering this to be real. At the end of 1982, though, the first arguments passing peer review that time was flexible saw publication, and by the end of 1985, the phrase “bouncy time” became a standard descriptive. Decades later, a better understanding of time compared it less to a river and more to a pyroclastic flow, often to the detriment of everything living in the flow path. However, as with the Hawaiian moth genus Hyposmocoma, regular time eruptions, avalanches, dike extrusions, and collapses may be responsible for so many developments within the universe, ranging from stars relapsing from imminent supernova reactions to the multiple pre-human sentient species of Earth’s distant past. Some even theorize that the fluidity of time might explain various anomalies, with the possibility that some quantum pockets are the chronal equivalent of lava caves, the logical extension of huge quantities of time crystals losing momentum and producing alcoves and caverns in space-time. At the time of its disappearance, several grad students at St. Remedius Medical College were looking at potential laws of conservation of time comparable to the laws of conservation of energy, but if any papers were completed, they followed the college into oblivion.
