after-timing effect

The psychological phenomenon where an individual experiences frustration or regret upon discovering a beneficial change or opportunity that occurs immediately after they leave or finish an experience. It often involves feelings of envy, loss, or unfairness, as the timing of the improvement would have directly benefited the individual had it occurred earlier. This effect can lead to counterfactual thinking and a sense of "what could have been."
"The university just announced new funding for research projects, but I’m graduating next month. I guess I'm experiencing the after-timing effect."

"I spent years working at that company, and just after I left, they introduced flexible work-from-home options. It’s the After-Timing Effect at play!"

"After years of hard work, I finally graduate, and now they’re offering a campus-wide discount for DoorDash—classic After-Timing Effect!"

Time-Based Simulation

Refers to the Time-Based Simulation hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests instead of a big bang portions of the universe were sucked into an ultimate black hole so quickly that "time" was left separate from space-time.

This all encompassing "time" without space created a simulation of matter aka space. This allows for multiple dimensions, Quantum Tethering, and Time dilation due to time simulating previous space without an existing space to do so. This also restricts time within the Time-Based Simulation from creating a simulation within the simulation.
