Science is fairly well established that yawning can spread like wildfire among groups of humans, as well as a few other mammals. In one experiment, yawns were observed when birds in neighboring cages could see each other, and again when views of adjacent birds were blocked. Don’t say you weren’t warned!

The fact that the concept of the timeline exists is simply an admission that human behavior is not necessarily aligned with what's in the head or in the heart. Moving people along is more art than science, and for some people it's far more emotion-based than logic-based. Because even if it is true (in a way), its grounds are immoral."
