There'd be a rotting corpse in the middle of the trading floor. Nobody would notice.

I supposed he'd be awed at the speed, volume, and automation of transactions... and overwhelmed at the flood of up-to-date information available and needed to make decisions.

He'd get arrested and accused of espionage. But first:

If he got to talk to any fellow CEOs, his face would perma-freeze from hearing how much money they make relative to the other American workers. And how low capital gains taxes have fallen. And he'd be REALLY confused about how the "top tax tier" got so low and why people still think it should be lower.

He'd have to retreat to outside and pull out his flask in attempt to assimilate all of this info. He'd try to light a smoke but this gets him chased by the police who were already after him on suspicion of espionage. His mind is spinning while running- "Why were there women in there? Why are they allowed to wear pants?" "When did the Negros learn to count?" "Who are all those brown men?" "Why does everyone have phones?" "Where are all the chords connected?" "Did vanishing cream finally pan out?"

All of the traffic discombobulates him and the 3 police officers are finally able to tackle him, stepping on and ripping his trench coat and losing his hat in the process. He's cuffed and put in the squad car. Only then is he able to look in the rear view mirror and see that he is Sam from Quantum Leap.

I don't understand how he would be accused of Espionage exactly unless those cops were very old.
I agree on the rest lol.

Time is not relative to how much you move.
Time is eternal.
