BOOK OVERVIEW

About this book

What if the present suddenly stopped looking like the present? Time-slip stories describe old-fashioned streets, vanished buildings, missing hours and encounters that witnesses interpret as brief contact with another period.

Time Slips: Glitches in Reality? examines the famous Versailles account, Liverpool's Bold Street legends, Victor Goddard's airfield story, the fictional Rudolph Fentz case and reports of vanishing hotels and missing time. Each case is traced back toward its earliest documentation rather than relying on later paranormal retellings.

The book then turns to physics and neuroscience. Relativity proves that time is not universal, but it does not predict random historical streets appearing around pedestrians. Memory, déjà vu, attention, chronostasis, dissociation and distorted duration provide alternative mechanisms. The central question remains: if a genuine macroscopic time slip occurred, what measurable trace should it leave?

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER

What you’ll discover inside

What the 1901 Versailles story originally documented and how later interpretation changed it.

Why Bold Street became a modern time-slip hotspot despite difficult source provenance.

How the Rudolph Fentz story demonstrates fiction transforming into a supposed paranormal case file.

What relativity genuinely says about time—and why it does not automatically explain street-level time slips.

How memory, attention, déjà vu and modern GPS or phone records can test lost-time claims.
