The Sunwheel at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst

How does inter dimensional time travel work? I don't know. I don't know anyone who knows. Someone, somewhere in the infinite space and infinite dimensions probably knows. They haven't shared with me or my people. What I do know is how it is done. It's done with what are known as henges or sun wheels. Mostly they are recognizable as megalithic celestial calenders. Stonehenge is probably a time machine. The megalithic cultures of western Europe are the vestiges of a time traveling species in that area. Ancient peoples living in western Europe observed and interacted with people of my race who at one time had a settlement on this Earth, in western Europe sometime before 3000 BCE.

To say that my people had this settlement about 5000 years ago is misleading. Time, for most people, is experienced where one event occurs in a sequence between other events. Time for my people is more complicated. It's more like a bag of rice or a stack of hay. One can see individual rice grains or straws of hay but one can also see the entire bag or stack. These individual grains or straws are like distinguishable events. A birthday party could be one of these events or a conversation within this party could be an event. These events occur simultaneously, just as the bad or stack in clearly all there at once. They sit up against each and if one is changed all the others will be affected, regardless of where they occur on a perceived sequential time line. The best way to perceive my people's settlement would be as temporally ambiguous.

The sunwheel at Umass is a step removed from the builders of Stonehenge. The sunwheel was conceived by Professor Judith S. Young of the Umass Department of Astronomy. It is a circle of stones 120ft in diameter, marking the cardinal directions, the solstices, the equinoxes, and the extreme rise and set of the moon. It is used to increase understanding of astronomy with multiple placards explaining with diagrams the purpose of the stones. I viewed the setting sun of the fall equinox on September 21st where a graduate student very clearly explained what was happening celestially. It was rad.
