=== Clock lag method === | |||
The other way to have the NSC set to a time in the past is to desynchronize it from the real-world time. | |||
* The only practical way to desynchronize the NSC is for the Switch's internal clock to lose power. This involves draining the Switch's battery and leaving it drained long enough for the [[wikipedia:Backup_battery#Computers|backup battery]] to be exhausted as well. | |||
* Although extremely impractical, it is useful as a thought experiment to consider that the NSC could be desynchronized using the effects of [[wikipedia:Special_relativity|special relativity]], such as by taking the Switch on board a spacecraft traveling at nearly the speed of light. | |||
