    Summary

    Most people take the passage of time for granted. They complain about it—ageing, dying, not having enough time. For them, time is consistent: a great river flowing at a uniform rate, carrying them in its indifferent embrace past familiar shores and through jagged rocks, unsympathetic and irreversible. For them, time flows and flows until they’ve taken their last breaths, their hearts have stopped pumping, their bodies lie broken on the farthest of all shores.

    For Sherlock, time is a film; or perhaps more aptly, a unidirectional movie projector.
