From our perspective, people with this ability would more likely:
- age much faster
- never sleep
- have extreme levels of social intelligence
- talk very precisely
- learn very fast
Why are time-pocket species unheard of in space and magic world fiction?
Hermione had her plot-breaking time turner thing,
- she’s a fast learner
- she does talk precisely
- not sure about social intelligence, but she sure is book smart
- she probably slept, but she’s one who would stay up late studying something.
- Based on the movie, she certainly aged faster than Harry and Ron.
By your definition I will confidently claim that Hermione was (artificially) a time-pocket species for a year.
I think Stargate had a couple time-pocket episodes, but I can’t remember exactly. There is also a graphic novel built around a character that stops time with orgasms.
Would that be Sex Criminals?
That sounds an awful lot like the Salarians, from Mass Effect. At least 3/5. Probably not “never sleep”
While yes, that’s cool, I’m sure I’d drag it out of proportion and would gradually become insane. Why prioritizing stuff and setting boundaries if you can do everything for everyone?
Hyperbolic time chamber, a procrastinator’s dream.
I always thought that looked appealing in Dragon Ball Z. I mean, I doubt I’d spend that time training for hand to hand combat like they did, but their weird kinda separate dimension time doesn’t pass dojo thing looked pretty dope.
Really just morphs the troubles into balancing work (for food/energy consumption), and “premature” death (can you imagine your spouse living their whole life in a day/week?).
