From the article, "[this] casts doubt on the reality of time in our world".

If the order is undefined, then how can you say I'm late?

The order between (1) "you being late" and (2) "you departing home at 09:05" is undetermined, but the events themselves aren't.

Or: it doesn't matter in which order you write the events of a story, as long as the events themselves are in order. The author is not bound by the timeline of the story.
