Review this film from the perspective of a science enthusiast

If you're not a science fan, this film will still inspire all kinds of surprises. But for a science fan, and about the hypercube, parallel space, multi-dimensional space, the essence of time... these things have been thought about for a long time, watching this film again, it is a bit like listening to children tell stories, hohoho!

As a science lover, I still love this film. But it is necessary to talk about some thoughts in my mind before:

1. Hypercube: According to popular science on the Internet, a hypercube exists in a 4-dimensional space, and its projection in our 3-dimensional space is a cube. Just like if a 3-dimensional ball passes through a piece of paper, it will first be a point and then grow from small to large to a circle with a diameter of that size and then gradually become smaller until the point... If a 4-dimensional cube passes through our space, if it is in a positive direction , what we'll see is a point and then a cube that gets bigger and then gets smaller until the point finally disappears...

2. The murderous hypercube model in the film: it first appeared as a square box, then turned into a cube, and then grew into a complex structure like a honeycomb. The projection in , just adds rotation and traverse space (from small to large and then small until it disappears). Although it is very complicated, it is still only the imagination of 3D human beings (in the way of fixed point projection), imagine the correct possibility...hehehe

3. Parallel space: According to a certain statement, the universe is likely to have countless parallel spaces. We are only in one of these spaces, and there are countless other spaces, but now technology cannot pass through. At a certain point in time, you in this space You may choose to go left, and you may choose to go right in that space... But this kind of imagination is more self-righteous than the ancient "geocentric theory", which is "human heart theory"! If there really is a parallel space, then since the birth of the universe more than 10 billion years ago, there are countless possibilities for changes, and there are countless possibilities for changes since the birth of the earth more than 4 billion years ago. If there really is parallel space, then the number will be infinite infinite power... With such a number, it is very likely that in countless parallel spaces, the earth has not even been born at all, and you will encounter yourself again when you travel through it so casually? But in the film, it can be set like this, there are countless small rooms in the super cube, and there are countless parallel worlds in the countless rooms. The passage of time varies from room to room, which resulted in the man wearing the watch being killed several times, and the detective seeing himself killed and so on.

4. Time change: The game designer in the film once imagined that different 3D players in the online game have different time flow rates, and the concept was quoted by the Hypercube builders... This is a bit similar to "Journey to the West". The concept of a year, nothing.

5. According to E=MC2, loss of a little mass can generate a lot of energy. Imagine how much energy is required for a person's mass to change through parallel space or time? Ha ha ha, considering the current amount of energy utilization by human beings, how many micrograms of mass can the entire earth's power generation per year pass?

6. The direction of gravity changes, or even weightlessness (intimacy 2 people are suspended in the air), compared to the difficulty of creating multi-dimensional space and parallel space, the direction of gravity is really nothing.

============================================

Through these science fiction fogs, the plot of the story will come to light——

Blind Sasha said: I gave them a key thing (a real super cube) to build this contraption, better than they wanted... this is not a game, it won't have a happy ending, this place is out of control Yes, it's not stable... If I can't crack it, it's even more impossible for a rubbish like you... I wasn't kidnapped, I tried to expose them when I found out they were getting people here. So they went after me. I fled into this place they no longer dared to follow... Max was right, Jerry was wrong, I (Alix Trask) exist!

Game designer Mike said: Alex Trask is ruthless, and at the same time he is a high-tech genius who is very good at disguise, he can make his character pretend to look like Mother Teresa... He Throwing everyone who has anything to do with this thing in here and fucking to death...is the only one who has the resources and brains to build something like this...it's a room where the flow rate varies from time to time .

"They" refers to the big arms dealer Isaan Company (whose subsidiary bought Max's game idea leading to a lawsuit), the female doctor Kate serves Isaan and entered the device to find Alex Trask (it's not easy, Because Kate doesn't know who is Trask - a top hacker, a legend, it's his style to create this kind of folded and twisted labyrinth, Jerry doesn't even think this person exists) and gets her something like a USB stick The thing, (after Kate killed Simon, looked at the watch and realized that the number 60659 on the wall was the time when the previous professor calculated the time when all the spaces in the device merged and collapsed) and finally handed it over to the organization, and the officer got the thing and said, "We Will take that thing to Darcy and see if there is anything Darcy recorded in it." Kate was then beaten to death. The officer answered the phone and said, "Phase 2 is over. Act now..."

In addition, I do not agree with someone who said that the female lawyer, Jerry, Mrs. Perry, Max and others who were tied to the bed at the beginning of the film entered the super cube device like entering a dream (people are outside or dead, brain waves Enter), because it is difficult to understand Sasha's evasion and killing and Kate's eventual removal of the real thing from the device when only the brain waves are in and people are out. According to the conception of the film, their lying on the bed can be understood as being kidnapped, and then the entity is put into the device after anesthesia. Of course, the blind woman Sasha went in by herself to escape the pursuit, and the female spy Kate went in by herself to find Alex Trask and find the key items.
