You may find that all the events in the Terminator story, whether it is the Rebels or Skynet, have not changed the "future" (the biggest result is simply that the Judgment Day has been postponed). The so-called "future" has not changed at all, just All their actions in the past became the cause of the "future", and whatever their original purpose was, they were distorted by an invisible force into the same "effect", that is, the "future". This inescapable ending reminds people of the famous ancient Greek tragedy Oedipus. No matter how he fought, he could not escape the ultimate fate.
It should be said that the fate of the Terminator series is not Cameron’s original creation. It is possible that the original author of the Terminator has a strong sense of original sin and a sense of powerlessness to face fate, but another possibility is this repeated fate , Just escaped the famous grandfather's paradox.
At least, the Terminator series provides us with a new view of time and space: our previous view of time is linear and immutable, that is, time is a single straight line, and time and space travel cannot be carried out. Later, because we watched too many sci-fi movies, we had a new view of space-time. Stephen Hawking once made a corresponding model of this space-time view, which was a cone shape. Time is still a straight line, but it is no longer a single straight line. Events at any point in time will branch out innumerable “effects” due to the probability of the “cause”, which expands countless straight lines from one point to become a cone. A parallel universe offers the possibility. However, this view of time and space is still linear, and the future can be changed through time and space travel, but there are countless futures, and it is impossible to predict his direction at all. This is very similar to the butterfly effect.
The Terminator series provides us with a brand-new model of time and space. The past, present, and the future are mutually causal, and time and space have changed from a straight line to a "round egg". No matter the event at that point in time, the past, present, and future work together. result. The "future" is immutable. The effect of the "future" on the past and present is fixed, and it does not depend on what activities we take. Among them, there is a mysterious power, which also provides a place for the gods.
Attached Grandfather Paradox
The grandfather paradox is a time travel paradox. The science fiction story assumes that you go back in time and kill
your grandparents before your father is born: because your grandparents are dead, there will be no father; without you If you are not born, no one will kill your grandparents; if no one kills your grandparents, you will exist and go back in time to kill your grandparents.
Regarding this statement, some people have also put forward consistent history and multi-universe theory as answers. Another reason that time travel does not exist is that if people in the future can go back to the past, then we should have seen many tourists coming back from the future; but this theory is relatively unfounded.
For example, with this explanation, there will be no paradox: when you go back to history and do things in history that change the future, time and space will generate a new time and space at that point, and you are in a new time and space at this time. , The new time and space does not affect the original time and space, and you can only pass through the wormhole if you want to cross these two time and space.
