I think we've done very well,
gpt
Surely you didn't call me all the way here just to say that.
human
Yes. It really is Earthlike, isn't it? I felt it was about time you congratulated me.
gpt
I don't remember, now, he said.
human
But it seems to be roughly similar.
gpt
Roughly! After all this time, you dare to suggest I have only achieved a rough similarity? I was a trained sociologist, kindly remember. It is _exactly_ like Earth.
human
It's very difficult to tell, he said, interrupting her.
gpt
Our time scale is quite different from what it was on Earth. These humanoids of ours breed and die like ephemerids.
human
If you took trouble to examine the species from their time scale, you would find it is precisely the same as Earth time to them.
gpt
Is it? Very well, I believe you. We have created an exact duplicate of the other Earth. Congratulations.
human
You're just agreeing without proof. I have evidence to show the sociology is a detailed replica. These humanoids are repeating human history exactly as we knew it! One of our ivy shoots even reported a tombstone marked 'Killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775.'
gpt
Now you're exaggerating! he said.
human
How could they possibly duplicate a time system that applied on the other Earth?
gpt
What other Earth?
