Absolutely; it makes clear that we've always considered time at least somewhat analogous to spatial dimensions, long before theoretical physics emerged. Pretty awesome that basic human intuition hit the nail on the head with that one, even if a detailed description was well beyond us

Fairly common to blur the spatial and the temporal when it comes to prepositions and/or deictic terms: this, that, next, hence, before, between, in, throughout, etc.

For a while, every time I gave it a repost I'd get a new bunch of pals (many of whom were old Twitter people I hadn't yet found on here). I still occasionally give it a boost just in case more will come out of the woodwork and/or I can broadcast my interests and meet new people who share them
