Let's check the scenario and my response on given questions in the activity.
Was it really an earthquake? I think Probably not in the traditional sense. Real earthquakes produce seismic waves I can feel or measure. Here, only timekeeping devices react. That suggests something closer to a temporal disturbance, a localized glitch in the flow of time, or even a synchronization event affecting systems tied to precise timing.
What does the stopping of clocks indicate? Well according to my opinion Clocks especially modern ones, depend on consistent oscillations so If all clocks stop simultaneously, it hints that time itself briefly paused or desynced in that region.
How did the city map change reality or perception? There are possibilities like , Reality changed, Streets, buildings, or spatial relationships actually shifted like the city was subtly rewritten. Perception changed, People’s memories or awareness were altered, so the map looks different even if nothing physically moved.
Would you notice it if you were there? I can assume but not easily. Humans rely on continuity. A few missing seconds might feel like distraction. Another perception raised, A street slightly longer than remembered A landmark not exactly where it used to be Time gaps in recordings
