After a century and a half of unhealthy 'counter-intuitive' narratives promoted by mathematicians, it is time for humanity to return to normal geometry and exercising their normal judgments when discerning observations in the celestial arena.

The Mad Hatter's Tea Party focuses on the mathematical use of 't' (Tea) but the proponents of the mathematical 't' never had a handle between human timekeeping and time itself -

"Alice, angry now at the strange turn of events, leaves the Duchess’s house and wanders into the Mad Hatter’s tea party, which explores the work of the Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton. Hamilton died in 1865, just after Alice was published, but by this time his discovery of quaternions in 1843 was being hailed as an important milestone in abstract algebra, since they allowed rotations to be calculated algebraically.

Just as complex numbers work with two terms, quaternions belong to a number system based on four terms (see “Imaginary mathematics”). Hamilton spent years working with three terms – one for each dimension of space – but could only make them rotate in a plane. When he added the fourth, he got the three-dimensional rotation he was looking for, but he had trouble conceptualising what this extra term meant. Like most Victorians, he assumed this term had to mean something, so in the preface to his Lectures on Quaternions of 1853 he added a footnote: “It seemed (and still seems) to me natural to connect this extra-spatial unit with the conception of time.”

Today they call the 't' party the 'theory of relativity' but that narrative itself is a child of Newton's attempt to define time,space and motion for mathematicians thereby creating a notion that everyone else is vulgar -

SCHOLIUM.
"Hitherto I have laid down the definitions of such words as are less
known, and explained the sense in which I would have them to be
understood in the following discourse. I do not define time, space,
place and motion, as being well known to all. Only I must observe,
that the vulgar conceive those quantities under no other notions but
from the relation they bear to sensible objects. And thence arise
certain prejudices, for the removing of which, it will be convenient
to distinguish them into absolute and relative, true and apparent,
mathematical and common." Newton

The contemporary saying of 'adults in the room' isn't really fitting here, people given enough time including some mathematicians should come to understand that the 't' party has gone on for far too long and it is now time to find ways to model cause and effect in a more creative and productive way..
