Yes, we see minor time phenomena when
Picard and other members of the
crew vividly experience moments and beings from their pasts, possibly created by their
thoughts, but the real import of the episode is the introduction of

for promising individuals such as
Wesley Crusher.

The Traveler to Picard about Wesley: In such musical geniuses I
saw in one of your ship’s libraries—one called Mozart, who as a small child wrote
astonishing symphonies, a genius who made music not only to be heard, but seen and felt
beyond the understanding, the ability of others. Wesley is such a person, not with music,
but with the equally lovely intricacies of time, energy, propulsion, and the instruments
of this vessel, which allow all that to be played
