Mods, sorry this might seem very OT, but today I watched this really freaky and interesting documentary about the "Kozyrev Mirror," a time travel device that was theorized by the Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kozyrev while in solitary confinement. Could this be Q's "Thing Mirror"?!? Link inside.

THINK MIRROR
Time is a concept emergent from the phenomena of memory. Memory creates "the past" and once you have a concept of the past, you create the concept of the future naturally, as anticipation. Anticipation of the future could not exist without memory of the past. Neither the past nor the future "exist" because everything exists only in the instantaneous now moment, including your memories of the past, and your anticipation of the future. Hence time either side of now is an illusion, an artefact of the brain.
Some babble for you.
