Tea with Alice and the Cheshire Cat Special Guests: the professor and the student from "Tachypomp" and the author Edward Page Mitchell. The Tachypomp (first published in The Sun, a New York City newspaper, in 1874) is a comic‑scientific dialogue in which a professor explains how stacking ever‑faster trains could theoretically reach infinite velocity, pushing motion into the realm of paradox. As the student struggles to follow, the story playfully hints that extreme speed would warp time itself, making it one of the earliest fictional gestures toward relativistic time effects.
