    ok since it makes sense to everyone else, someone explain it to me

    • event happens
    • time passes (pt. 1)
    • record is made detailing the event and its effects
    • time passes (pt. 2)
    • present

    how does merely the length of time period 1 determine which events occur in time period 2?

    how does publishing an article saying that something has not happened yet prevent that thing from happening after the article is published?
