A short, singular chuckle as he takes the wristwatch back after Doc has witnessed his point. He shrugs as he throws the loop back around his wrist, running through the motion of fastening it back up. "To know if something changes? Or - what if there's a way to regulate time around a single object? Or a single person?" There's a shrug. Far be it to assume he would let the extent of his powers go completely. "Call it a running experiment."
"And no, I haven't. Which is probably a good thing." Though that is a ...thought. Which kind of goes back to looking for a weaker point in the space-time continuum. "Besides, my powers have been more limited here, not less. But," he adds wryly. "I'll let you know if I start loosing hours. Deal?"
It's funny how Doc was really speaking his language. Underneath the schooled expression, one might note a giddy sort of excitement, which is also promptly obvious from how quickly he launches into further theory. "You'd think, right? But that still assumes," here comes the chalk, picked up from the desk drawer, before he starts drawing on the wall. A line is drawn first. "That time is linear here. Which is a safe assumption, because for most people, it usually is. But, time can change everything because it's relative." A few circles are drawn next. "We've seen the broken down houses here, too, right? Those look like they were stuck in the 60s, along with clothes and photographs as proof. The newer houses are the nineties."
"So what if we take linear time out of the equation? Making wherever Mathias is it's own dimension, and its time a closed loop, of sorts? So then whatever happens to the bread, and the milk is reset at the end of each day," he thickens the line of the circle a few times more, chalk dust sticking to the dark sleeves of his shirt. "It would also explain why food is replenished."
"This doesn't explain how though, but I'm starting to think it will fall under the category of magic, more than quantum theory and relative theory." He shrugs, dusting his hands off with an almost satisfied little smirk.
not me researching quantum theory of time and realizing i'm not smart enough for it LMAO
