Day was tired. He had been staying at the lab until late, waiting for the weird inspector that never showed up. It was two o'clock in the morning, and he could not sleep. Insomnia had been his old friend as far he could remember. So instead of going to bed at once as a normal person would do, Day decided to kill time with beer and his laptop. There were still some things about this whole thing that bothered him. And there might be something useful buried away somewhere, like the internet. As per rule 34, If it exists or can be imagined, there is Internet porn about it. This rule also worked for PG information. At least, that is what Day hoped.
He began by searching for mentions of "the Inspector." This took longer than expected since most references tended toward either science fiction or urban legend: all sorts of nonsense like The Phantom Detective, Sherlock Holmes Meets Cthulhu and others. He started to type WTL into Google's search field, which gave him results about a company named World Toilet League. That is when Day, after emptying another bottle of beer, suddenly another word came to mind, Pi, 3.14 and then, almost instantly after typing it in, an e-mail popped up on his screen. It looked like spam but didn't seem quite right, maybe because its sender was unknown. So rather than delete it straightaway, he opened the message to see what kind of content it held before deciding whether or not to throw it away.

The subject line read 'Hurry Up For A Limited Time Discount!' and the body consisted mainly of random words. Day did not think much of it at first glance and deleted it. As soon he clicked the little bin icon, he received another e-mail.
‘What the fuck.’; mumbled Day, quickly scanning his computer for malware. The scan came out clean. He opened the mail.

PS: If you're having trouble sleeping tonight, why don't you try to pass through a door? Just kidding. Sleep Pi.
The second e-mail said: "Let me know if you have any questions", and ended with "Sleep Pi". Tight? Day wondered if he would get more messages. Probably hours? Days? That may be it. He typed "Schrödinger", "cat", and "sleep tight" into the search box, then hit Enter. An instant later, two new results appeared: a Wikipedia entry on Erwin Schrodinger's Cat and thousands of articles about the concept of Time. Day typed what is time and hit enter again. Three thousand five hundred hits returned from the Web. He clicked on the top link and found himself reading a description of Einstein's Theory of Relativity which explained that time slows down relative to the speed of light squared. That meant it took less time to go faster than the speed of sound than to slow down, meaning that the past was slower than the present, and vice versa.
He then searched Erwin Schrodinger's biography online. Erwin explained time by saying that everything exists simultaneously, and thus we perceive reality as occurring in discrete chunks. When Schrödinger wrote his famous equation, he wasn't really talking about the wave function collapsing. What he was trying to say is that quantum mechanics shows us the world isn't necessarily real but merely an illusion created by our consciousness. Quantum physics says that particles aren't always where they appear to be but may pop in and out of existence without warning.
Day leaned back on the chair, scratching his hair and opening a new beer. He was completely aloof from the random information he was reading. But on the last try, he typed 3.14 and time. A picture of a clock face filled the monitor. One minute passed, then another, and another. Then, slowly, the numbers moved backwards, passing each other twice before returning to twelve. In the background, the words TIME SLOWS DOWN DURING TIME TRAVEL appeared flashing. He pressed ESC over and over again, but the message stayed on the screen. After ten seconds, the text changed slightly: TIME SHOWS FOR YOU.

New e-mail in-come:
From: < undisclosed-sender:>
To: Delbert Day Whiterabbit
Subject: When are you from?
Are you out of time, friend? Time slows down during time travel. Or do I mean speed?
It's the same phenomenon as Schrödinger's cat, except that now we can actually prove it works. And we certainly make it work!
There are many theories regarding the nature of the universe, and perhaps none more intriguing than the idea that space and time exist independently of human perception. Some physicists believe that the universe is not a single entity but consists of multiple universes coexisting within one another. The multiverse theory may explain the apparent paradoxes of relativity better than anything else. Or it doesn't explain them at all.
There may be infinite parallel worlds. And they're all connected, like a web, a beautiful mandala. And maybe every choice we make affects those realities, creating alternate histories. We could live in a different history altogether, one where the dinosaurs survived and evolved into birds. Another is where the Earth is all covered entirely with water. Others where humanity has conquered the stars and colonised the planets. Yet others where the sun goes nova and destroys all life. Or simply, there is no sun. What a sad time, don't you think?
We are still determining exactly what happened at the beginning of the Big Bang, and how it will end. Well, we actually do. But not you. All time laws are universal constants that apply equally to all matter throughout the entire universe. These fundamental forces and energies govern the structure of atoms, molecules, stars, galaxies and black holes alike. They determine the mass, charge, spin, volume and density of everything around us, including ourselves.
Time is just another form of energy. Pure, clean and infinite power. Think about the possibilities.
And all you need to do is to open a door and see. Don't miss this opportunity, because the opportunity won't miss you!
Good Luck, Traveler! Remember, today is the tomorrow Pi worried about yesterday. Until next time we meet.
'What the fuck did I just read?'; muttered Day to himself, concluding that perhaps he had too much to drink.
