Hammond,
As you know, the whole purpose of the elevator is to allow us to pass safely across the Breach from one world to another. But the Breach itself is a kind of world, albeit one with such differing fundamental structure that it's not survivable for humans - or for that matter digital cameras, microphones, and various other electronics we've tried to observe it with. However, it may not surprise you to learn that certain analogue clocks can make the transition mostly unscathed. For the most part, they operate normally, but the *rate* at which they operate is different than on Earth (or Kiengir). Not only that, the rate *changes*. It might appear to move at quarter speed for several days and then spend a full week moving at one hundredth speed.
