**Mat Ryer:** Hello, and welcome to Go Time! I'm Mat Ryer, and I'm joined by Natalie Pistunovich. Hello, Natalie.
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Hey, Mat. How are you doing?
**Mat Ryer:** I'm good, thanks. Today we're gonna be talking about -- hey, wait a minute... What's this? Have we been hacked? Hello? What's going on?
**Ron Evans:** Hello?
**Mat Ryer:** I can't hear you.
**Ron Evans:** Hello?! Is this coming through?!
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah, yeah, I can hear you.
**Ron Evans:** Hello, can you hear me? Can you hear me?!
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Hi!
**Ron Evans:** It works!! It works!!
**Mat Ryer:** Is that Ron Evans?
**Ron Evans:** It worked!! That's incredible. I am actually talking to you using a partial data quantum transmission system, a PDQ system that I finally got working in the year 2053!
**Mat Ryer:** Oh, my goodness, I can't believe it.
**Natalie Pistunovich:** What...?!
**Mat Ryer:** And you're transmitting through space and time, so that we can talk to you?
**Ron Evans:** That is the idea... It's probably too much for our human minds to comprehend, but somehow I got it to work anyway.
**Mat Ryer:** It is quite a lot, yeah.
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Wow...
**Mat Ryer:** I mean, wow. Natalie, I can't believe this. What do you think?
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Well, what time is it in 2053? Is it still 24 hours a day? Do you still have days?
