Ghost Time Theory - We Live in the Past
In the year 1752, specifically on the first of September, a young man, known in his village for his cleverness and cunning, and his love for betting, heard in the morning of this day from his workplace in the neighboring village some news from a traveling merchant. He was certain that no one in his village knew about it. This news was strange, surprising, even exceptional, and it would not happen again. A person with his cunning and shrewdness would not let it pass without taking advantage of it. He thought for a moment, then the idea struck him. He quickly ran through the village’s alleys, calling on the villagers to hurry and gather in the village square because he had brought them a bet. The challenge was impossible to win, but he wouldn’t lose it.
