Sundial with "multitudinous faces"?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I understood that only traveling @Lightspeed that was contrary to 
relativity and that that was the problem wormholes were supposed to 
circumvent?

Unless space-time is deterministic, in which case we only THINK we move 
through space at will.
