Trivia | The last work from screenwriter Jerome Bixby before his death. See more » |
Goofs | (at around 12 mins) When discussing Columbus's journey John implies that there was still widespread belief that the earth was flat. In fact, since the time of the Greeks it had been relatively common (educated) knowledge that the earth was round. (Columbus's error was in underestimating the diameter of the earth and thus the distance to Asia by a westerly route. Luckily, he bumped into the Americas where he'd roughly calculated Asia was supposed to be, otherwise they'd have been lost at sea.) See more » |

Quotes |
Dan:
Time... you can't see it, you can hear it, you can't weigh it, you can't... measure it in a laboratory. It is a subjective sense of... becoming, what we... are, in stead of what we were a nanosecond ago, becoming what we will be in another nanosecond. The whole piece of time's a landscape existing, we form behind us and we move, we move through it... slice by slice. Linda Murphy: Clocks measure time. Dan: No, they measure themselves, the objective referee of a clock is another clock. Edith: All very interesting, but what has it got to do with John? Dan: He, he might be man who... lives... outside of time as we know it. See more » |
