Time is not linear, it is a dimension.
Phintan had just enrolled in his courses at the University of Minnesota for the fall semester of 2011. Since he was a freshman without any incoming credits, he had to register near the end of the registration period. He was not able to take a course that would count towards his major, so he decided that he would just mess around and take astronomy. Phintan had always seen time as linear. The clock had always ticked the same speed for his whole life. He had only thought about history in terms of human civilizations which he could easily comprehend on the linear scale which he had always known. He began to look into the history of the universe and realizing that he could not comprehend it. The entire history he had known was just a blink of the eye in the history of the universe. Phintan was also looking into the movements of interstellar objects. He realized that time was relative. It was directly related to distance and all of the other known forces in the Universe. He realized that time represented another dimension. He still had a hard time comprehending it so he decided to watch Lebron james miss a bunch of free throws.

Saying too much
On a cold winter day Phintan Lethert woke up early. It was the last Wednesday of school before winter break. Phintan was extremely tired. He had been up late the night before studying for his exams. Phintan was completely burnt out on school right now. His focus had shifted from getting good grades in school to watching NBA basketball. He was excited to see the Miami Heat play on Christmas day. Phintan had decided that he studied enough for his classes and he decided to coast into the break. Phintan spent the next few days getting his Miami Heat gear. He bought a Chris Bosh jersey even though it has been well established that Chris Bosh has no basketball talent. Phintan could hardly wait for the game. Phintan woke up around noon on Christmas. He was watching basketball all day leading up to the big game. On this day the Miami Heat would play against the L.A. Lakers. This game was set to be, by far, the most over hyped match up of two thoroughly below average teams in sports history. The Miami heat crushed the talentless Lakers and Phintan was thrilled. He thought about that game for the rest of the break. He relived every play numerous times in his head. He had become a bandwagon Heat fan and completely given up on his local team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, realizing that they would never get any talented players and always finish last in the NBA. Phintan came back to school when break ended and starting talking about how the Heat were the best team in the NBA his friends all told him " Wow your team beat the lakers. They might be average but saying they are the best team in the NBA is just saying too much".
