Ok, this is what I was alaways lead to believe, Ellone has the power screw with time, so Ulti used her to try to achieve time compression:
Because, as I've alaways though at least, Ulti wanted the powers of all Sorceresses, and she wanted to rule in a realm where she would never have to worry about being usurped.
Ok, so Ellone sends the gang to a time compressed wrold in progress (and yes, I mean time COMPRESSED, not absorbed or whatever)
Think about it, Ulti is trying to compress the entire dimension of time, how could this be possible? MAGIC!!! I don't know why this concept is so hard for Viator to get down, but that IS WHAT IS CAUSING IT. It's said countless times (hehe) in the game.
Anyway, the gang goes to Ulti's throne room and greases her. Because she is no longer compressing time, it falls back into whack, and everyone goes back home eventually.
No diagrams.
No equations.
But because Viator seems to think that no post is complete without confusing and misleading graphs...

* = NOTHING (I just put them in to confuse everyone)
1 = Rinoa (PRESENT)
2 = squall, i think...
3 = this is where rinoa like, goes to compress the addetive inverse of time....
5 = wait, no, she first did this other stuff to find cc players?
6 = ultimecia uses the stoichyometric properties to controle time shifts
9 = and then...like, squall finds some island
9 = but at the same time, a bunch of stuff happends with the other sorceress
8 = Time Compression
9 = Time Decompression
8 = Time Wasted while the gang discusses these events in less detail than we are
11 = Sarah Conner
14= Miller Time
15 = Rinoa found Squall and after that back to the present
But really, this can be summed up with this impractical formula.
