The husband of a friend plays in a musical band. They were rehearsing and my friend was video taping. They experienced a two-second loss of time. They actually skipped ahead musically by two seconds. They all became aware of what happened and gradually stopped playing and said, "What the hell just happened?' Now this two seconds of skipped time also appears on the video tape. It looks like the video tape had two seconds spliced out of it. It felt like a time adjustment.

Fascinating! Any chance of posting that video clip? On the tape, was there a discontinuous jump in both the music and the position of the musicians, or was their movement smooth but it was just the music that skipped?

It's amazing that it was captured on video camera; I've never heard of such a "gap" phenomenon before.
The experience was clearly an "objective" one, (as opposed to hallucination or individual perception) in that all the players knew that something had happened, and it was also captured on camera.
If there are accounts of similar experiences on the internet, it would be great to know about, this type of thing might be more common that it seems ??

This thread made me think of another question: Would time-travel be possible in a programmed reality?
Well, I suppose that would depend on the nature of the program. If the programmed reality "branches off" (as in the Many-worlds theory of quantum mechanics) and a "pocket" or doorway opens for the person who travels in time, then they would be travelling back to a specific point in the program.
If all the information about everything that happened, ever, was stored by the computer which regulates programmed reality, then the time-traveller would arrive back at a certain point in that time-line. This wouldn't necessarily to compromise the "grandfather paradox" in QM, because if one killed their grandfather in this alternative world their grandfather would still be alive in the "present".
