… and yet another theory was that a time traveler became stranded in the past, and devoted the rest of their life to marking their presence as a signal to their colleagues in the future, similar to a Vernor Vinge or Michael Crichton storyline.
- russfink 2y agoFurther thought - humans are obsessed with powers of 10. These stones were arranged 9,000 to 10,000 years ago. Would it not make sense that the traveler dialed up “10,000 years ago” in their machine? Can we use this with our own relative position to the stones’ placement (eg 9,500 years) to predict when humans will achieve time travel (eg 500 years from now)? Lovely fantastical thoughts for a Saturday - enjoy!
