I think you're overcomplicating it. I mean, time and space are the same thing, right? And they can be manipulated. So if you get a big enough problem going in one area, it's gonna reach out a long ways and suck people in from a lot of different times and places.

Like if you put a bunch of big rocks on a bed, stuff on the bed is gonna roll to the big dips the rocks make. But it doesn't mean the rocks are connected, you know?
