Foresight and the butterfly effect

Reggie 2021-12-30 17:20:54

I just watched the movie "Foresight". Yorkson has a certain ability to predict what will happen in 2 minutes, and he can take action in advance. As the action occurs, the ending also changes. For example, he can predict who will shoot from which direction in 2 minutes, so he can avoid it.

The main point of the movie is that the future can be seen, and when you watch it, you are changing the future. You can use games as an analogy. People who are beyond the screen can see the surrounding situation in a certain range, and judge the threats they may be exposed to in a short period of time based on these situations, and then preemptively, space and time are so unified at this time. If you compare life to this kind of video game, you are beyond the world, seeing myself and seeing Sue downstairs. Sue is opening the door and preparing to go up the stairs to my dormitory. I know when to open the door for her 2 minutes in advance. Or call her in advance and say that it is indeed reasonable and reasonable to wait for me to go to her dormitory and let her not come up.

Always have a paranoid curiosity about time. Our world has been confirmed to be composed of four-dimensional space. If the matter that constitutes the fourth dimension is the same as that of other three dimensions, is there a certain similarity between time and space? For example, compare the present to room 501, 401 is the past, and 601 is the future. So when I live in 501, 401 has been built and furnished and cannot be changed. What about 601? Isn't it a good building? Is it that the building has not been decorated yet? Or is the building finished and decorated just waiting for me to open the door and walk in?

My every move in the past will have a decisive impact on the outcome of the next 2 minutes. If I did not go to the movie with the temptation of sue today, I should have made a level 6 volume, and the math in Chapter 7 should also be reviewed. It's a little bit; I went to see the movie, so I'm writing essays now.

MM told me about the movie "Butterfly Effect" before. I really like that even if I didn't watch it in person, it seemed like I had shown it in my heart. It's about the boy who can go back to a certain time in the past by reading the previous diary, and change a certain action at that time, and the plot will change drastically afterwards.

I always feel this is true. A story I read when I was young, when I saw a certain page, I left a multiple choice question for the reader to choose, usually asking if you were a policeman in the text, you would 1, jump off the car and chase to page 78, 2 go to the head of the circus To page 143. There are 7 or 8 choices in the whole book. When I read one of them the second time, the final result is quite different. At that time, I was not in elementary school, but this book was surprisingly impressive, but its impact reached today after I went to university. If I go to Beijiao after graduating from elementary school, where am I now? If I volunteered for Zhejiang Industry and Commerce, what am I doing now?

I have always had a bizarre idea to build a theme park, which is a high tower. After entering each room, you will see a set of clips like an AB drama. At the end of the drama, you are asked to answer a multiple-choice question: Suppose you are the person in the drama. When you press the selector button, a ladder will descend to guide you into the next room. I just want to see if the deviation of a choice is a thousand miles away; or as long as it is the same person, the outlook on life remains unchanged, and even if some steps are taken in different ways, the same result can be achieved? For example, I can take a train from Changzhou to Suzhou, but I choose to take a car to Wuxi and then take a train to Suzhou. The choice may be different, but the result is the same.

The future is full of possibilities, just like this tower, looking at the towering tower, each floor has different chances, but when you go up to the second floor without the third floor, the third floor may suddenly disappear. No, all is non-existent. Destiny exists when it does not come, what comes is one of many possibilities, and when the other possibilities come, it does not exist.

    People are always bounded rationality. If this is the deep meaning of this movie, it is not bad. At least the rhythm is quite tight.
