This sentence is a bit confusing, for example. If A wants to go to a place, he can choose the road on the left or the road on the right. These are two possibilities. Stepping on the left leg first is a possibility, and stepping on the right leg first is another possibility. Then there are 4 different possibilities here. Using the theory of the younger brother, there are four different universes, and there are four different armors in them. In universe A, X walks the left leg first and walks the left path; in B universe, X walks the right leg first and walks the left path; in C universe, X walks the left leg first and walks the right path; in D universe Step on the right leg first and go the way on the right. This is equivalent to four boxes with four different cats. This example is intended to illustrate that even though different universes have been created due to different choices (actually several different possibilities, one of which has been determined, I express it as the determination of possibility), in different universes , there are also some possibilities for the determination to be consistent. For example, Xia in the AB universe walks the left path, and Xia in the AC universe walks the left leg first.
Back to the topic. Before time point A, all universes are unrelated, just like the boxes containing cats are each closed. After time point A, a random door is opened on the box, and they are connected to each other. The cat can visit the door everywhere, which is equivalent to connecting into a big box. This temporary large box is still relatively closed, and the cat cannot escape from the large box to the outside. What is outside? In the words of the guy who wanted to strangle another self, if there were a million universes, I would put your wife to sleep in those million universes. That is to say, no matter how many people here, they will not be able to enter the universe of other possibilities that have been determined before time point A.
It's a bit winding again, let's use the previous example to illustrate, or the example of A walking. When A goes out, it is regarded as time A. There are four A in the four boxes. These four A's wear the shoes of the left foot first before going out. No matter how they meet or visit the door, they will not be able to put on the shoes of the right foot first. A go there.
[Updated 20141024] Thinking that no one will read this long-winded, new idea in mind but too lazy to change the movie review. . . Unexpectedly, someone saw it. . . I'll post my reply:
[I thought about this later, but I didn't bother to change the movie review. And the breakpoint mentioned is not the "earlier time" you said.
Since it has already been said that time is just a dimension, but from a higher perspective, it is not considered in terms of the time axis, and time is not linear, so naturally it is not based on time as a breakpoint, but as "realized". possibility" is the breakpoint. Taking shoes on as an example, only the person who put on the left shoe first entered this temporary large box, and the person who put on the right shoe first did not. So in the movie, the breaking point is the situation where "the eight people are gathered in this house under the condition that the comet travels to this position." ]
Regarding the time inconsistency. The two of them in Universe A went out and brought back a box that they had not made yet. Time is not linear, simply think of it as a dimension. To briefly explain, we compress the three-dimensional space we are in into a two-dimensional space, and regard time as a space perpendicular to the two-dimensional space (it seems that Einstein said that time is the fourth dimension, but many theories now believe that it is No, for the sake of illustration, let’s first assume that it is the fourth dimension, even if it is not, the way to understand what a dimension is anyway is similar). To be more concrete, the protagonists are cats, staying in the bottom plane of a square box, and the space above them is like the result of adding time to the bottom plane. After time point A, a random opening is opened anywhere in this box, which can lead to other boxes. There are countless points in a cube, point A opened in this box leads to point B in that box with different openings. This is the reason for the time inconsistency. But there is something very strange in this film. Once someone leaves the house and wants to go back, they can always go back to the house where they are not corresponding.
[UPDATE] When time point A starts, it should be when Goldilocks is still driving and making a phone call, and the signal starts to be bad. Why not when her phone cracked? Because at the end another blond girl calls her boyfriend and shows her number. He was attacked twice in the night, escaped from the bathtub, and even bothered to take his broken cell phone to buy a new one and put the card in. . . This doesn't seem like a normal person's way of thinking. So her phone should not be broken.
Time point B doesn't seem to give many clues, and it's not very important, so I won't guess. Anyway, when the comet passed.
A little guesswork. Maybe because I have been watching this event from the perspective of the protagonists, my guess is more subjective. I think it's possible, in a higher dimension of this shuffle, that there was actually only one box at the beginning. Several choices were made by the protagonists themselves, resulting in more and more boxes. It seems that there are only a few possible disagreements. One is whether Uncle Beard's mobile phone is broken or not, and the other is whether to use a blue stick or a red stick after the power outage. The best thing is that box, throwing dice, 8 people, there are so many possibilities of 6 to the 8th power (the specific calculation is 1679616 possibilities), I still feel that it is not enough, I have to put a random item in it, which is at least Gotta be tens of millions. I guess the screenwriter is also a bit stupid and human beings should not do it, so before that, since there are not so many possibilities, it is still possible to find a way back to the house where you are not corresponding. After that, Goldilocks can't find a house that doesn't correspond to her.
There is another point to be explained. Although the dice was thrown very late, the result of this choice and the force of the result run through all the intervals between time points A and B.
【UPDATE】I was in a hurry in the afternoon, this was not explained clearly. For example, there is a room with a table in it. Time is linear for us, as if we were walking from the left to the right of the bar table. This room is equivalent to a space formed by the addition of time and the three-dimensional space we perceive. There is a cup in the middle of the table, for us, it is like having this cup at eight in the morning (middle of the table) and not yet at three in the morning (left of the table). For the room, the cup exists in the room.
Why are there two Goldilocks in the same box after time B, I think so. Although all choices/possibilities will act on the universe in which they live, since people can visit everywhere, they must not be connected to the universe, and in the interval between time points A and B, the corresponding same person can interact with each other. The effect (isn't a dude going elsewhere to strangle the other himself), to use Schrödinger's experiment as an analogy, that is, two cats can fit in a box. After time point B, all the boxes still exist, but the random door opening has disappeared. So there are still two cats in some boxes. This result was actually mentioned in the story Goldilocks told at the beginning: my wife called the police and said that this was not my husband, and I killed him with my own hands, buried him in the backyard, and stood in front of another husband. I think this girl knows the result and thinks that she can touch another self before time point B (someone was pinched in front of her), so she ran to another universe and dared to act evil.
[UPDATE] Assuming that the story told by Goldilocks is the same as the phenomenon experienced by the protagonists, the correlation disappears after time point B, and there are two cats in a box, and these two cats may have different choices and different randomness. Does the imprint have to live and die to coexist in the box? I don't think so, if so it's a religious story, not a science fiction story. The atoms and molecules that make up them are exactly the same if you don’t count the randomness and the imprints of different choices that I imagined. Life and death, only the function stops gradually corrupting, and the function continues to operate without corruption. The difference comes from religion. It is the difference between the soul still in the body and not in the body. Anyway, I don't think there is any difference. . .
As for the time point B, whether the two corresponding people can still touch, and whether there will be any consequences, I don't know. After all, there is no experiment, everything is still theory, and the movie also leaves a suspense.
