”I see! As ”fate” plays a significant role in this series’ themes, we keep returning to powers that can alter ”time”. What ”time” is, is directly tied to ”gravity”. Where the gravity of an object is stronger, time moves slower. And all and everything is destined to move according to it. But even though gravity can bend the intensity and direction of light, it cannot change its speed. Where it is "observed" from, will only change how it will "seem" to the observer. The shine of a distant star's light will sooner reach the one who is truly free from gravity. Thus, within the theory of relativity, if the progress of just one thing in the universe cannot be impeded, the world can never truly stand still. And if time cannot be stopped, we are constantly moving towards a goal. For a human it is death, hence making it a necessity to consider what is next, to strive for a "heaven". But it is not only objects that affect one’s perception of ”gravity”, it is also one’s own ”speed”. An orbiting satellite has to correct its clock to match earth not just due to its further distance, but also because of velocity. And the constant movement of planets and galaxies make it so that even in space it is impossible to experience true freedom from the driving forces. If one could reach either infinite or true zero ”speed”, how would that affect time? And an observer cannot differentiate if the ”gravity” they experience is caused by an ”object” or their own ”acceleration”. Just as they have no way of knowing if what they are observing is in motion, or if they themselves are. So a single person can never alone "reach the truth", everyone exists in relation to other. An objective measurement of ”time” by this definition does not ”exist” in the universe, so as observers we must have ”faith” in what we see.
