What are time-stamped messages?

Time-stamped messages are like postcards that show exactly when they were sent.

Imagine you and your friend live far apart, and you send each other messages through the mail. A time-stamped message is like a postcard with a special note on it, the date and time it was sent. This helps you know how long it took to reach your friend.

Think of it like this: every time you write a letter, you check your clock, and you write down the time right on the envelope. That way, when your friend gets it, they can see exactly when you wrote it, no guessing involved!

If you send one message at 9 AM and another at 3 PM, your friend can tell which one came first just by looking at the time stamp.

Time-stamped messages help keep things in order. If you're playing a game with friends who are far away, knowing when each message was sent helps everyone stay on the same page, like having a shared clock that all your letters use!
