you might want to get checked out. This doesn't happen to people normally. I would also maybe check the house for mold? I'm not sure that the man in the black suit would be able to provide anything for you, other than to fulfill your own personal curiosities.

Not so sure that I subscribe to the time travel idea. Some of the best scientific minds have deemed it physically impossible. Its a cool concept to fantasize about, but I think its more likely that you were hallucinating and you might have something like... Dissociative identity disorder. But I'm not a doctor.

Either way, its worth maybe investing sometime to get some help. Its a fantastic read though.

Traveling forward through time isn't impossible. We travel forward through time constantly, and already know ways to vary the speed at which we do so. Traveling close enough to the speed of light would make a year pass in a second... Its just going backwards that is tricky... Though that may be possible in nature too. Apparently the math says that if two massive black holes get close enough together then time moves backwards between them. At least according to Neil Degrasse Tyson.

Well, that's assuming a lot. I think you might want to reflect on the differences between the passage of time vs. time travel. Imo we are passing through time moreso than traveling through it. And I am confident that there are ways to change one's perception of time passing. We don't even know if time exists outside of our own universe. Furthermore, I will not refute that it is possible that somewhere in the future we may find a way to allow ourselves to intentionally travel significantly through time.

But I think that in terms of probability - this person probably needs medical attention. And that it would be impractical to suggest and assume that knowledge will be acquired on time travel someday, over receiving medical attention. We don't know if we will be able to. And yes black holes and other great forces can bend time and space; and light can travel through time very quickly. But none of this has been achieved or harnessed by humans. To say that we have grasped time travel is a long shot. And just because Neil DeGrasse Tyson says it doesn't make it so. If there is one thing history has taught me about scientists, it's that they are wrong a lot of the time. And that's usually not recognized until long after they are gone.

So respectfully I do not agree with your statement supporting that the man in the black suit is a reality.

Some of the best scientific minds also once said autism was due to too much testosterone at a young age. The best scientific minds can still only work with the knowledge we have now, and both will always be fallible and ignorant to the advances of the coming centuries

Yes. Which is also why I believe it would be best not to entertain the notion of someone accepting what could be a false reality, and instead know that its more probable and practical to go see a medical professional. Despite what we may uncover in the future, I feel that it is vastly more important to take care of medical issues now, while we're living in the present and relative future.
