Tomorrow Rarely Knows

Social: "If time travel was possible, why would we want to do it?"

By using the social phrase of "we," this includes a relationship made between the writer and the reader. It's an inclusive phrase that directly addresses the audience and their presence in the piece.

Physical: "There is no linear continuation: The past disappears, the future is unimagined, and the present is ephemeral. It cannot be traversed."

Because this phrase is so philosophical and not tangible at all, it creates a distance that the reader will generate because it separates them from the concrete questions and examples. The use of bigger, more intricate words gives this a sense of seriousness and condemnation.
