First of all, we must give up some inherent thinking modes

The story is very complete, there are basically no obvious bugs, but first you need to change your mind and give up some inherent thinking modes and titles:

1. There is no so-called "real world". Every time the Source Code system is started, a parallel is created. The universe;
2. Between the parallel universes, apart from Colter’s consciousness that can be "traversed" and always maintained, no form of correlation can occur;
3. If the concept of the parallel universe is not easy to understand, try to learn from "one flower, one world" To look at a Word file from the perspective of "one leaf and one bodhi", the parallel universe is similar to Ctrl+V, and the content of the newly generated Word is edited. Any result of editing will not have any effect on the original file. For any file after Ctrl+V, the edited content is also irrelevant;
4. Every parallel universe splits from the moment Sean opened his eyes-7:40 on the morning before the explosion. , Goodwin has not yet
gone to work at this time; 5. All the parallel universes in the story, except for the last one, had explosions, only the last one. Due to Colter's efforts, the bomb was not detonated. In this world, the text messages Goodwin received when he went to work were sent by Colter in the upper compartment after he subdued the bad guys. There is no text message that crosses the parallel universe;
6. Sean’s physical death can cause Colter’s consciousness to “travel” back;
7. If Colter does not care about other people’s life and death, and gets off the bus and never returns again, will it lead to the Source Code system? Can't reclaim its consciousness? The story is not clear, but it is speculated from the lame's words that it is possible. Of course, if Sean does not focus on tracking down the bad guys, the consequences will also be-the Source Code system loses value and the lame's efforts are wasted. Therefore, the cripple will threaten and deceive Colter;
8. "Sean" has never existed since the time described in the story, and only the product of the combination of his body and Colter's soul exists.
9. In the last parallel universe, when Colter faced Cloud Gate, his face was not clear. Logically speaking, Sean's face should be seen, but Colter did not show any discomfort. Possible explanation: a. Colter completed a new self-cognition and accepted this new face; b. Reflection is also a reflection of consciousness. But obviously, if you ask him a question about middle school history at this moment, Sean will definitely not be able to answer it. Worry about his livelihood in this world!
10. Did each parallel universe disappear after Colter's consciousness was recovered? Of course not, it will continue to exist, but with the death of "Sean", it has no meaning to the first world;
11. Every time the "traversal" occurs, Colter can see Cloud Gate and some other parallels. How to explain the scene of the universe? ——The side effects of crossing!
12. The meaning of Source is more focused on "source" rather than "source", the difference is small, but very subtle. Especially for programmers. I admit that at the beginning I always thought about the Source Code at the code level...
13. In the last parallel universe, there are two Colter exist: one exists in the body of Sean, the other lies in the life support device Half body. Could this fact cause any follow-up stories?

In the process of watching the film, I never thought of David Bowie, this son was quite successful as a director!
