Characters: Colter, male protagonist, Captain
Sean (Sean), history teacher, Captain's crossing object
Goodwin (Goodwin) , the female researcher, the source code executor, the person who liaises with the captain
Christina, the heroine, the person sitting opposite the history teacher
Dr., the developer of the
source code system After several crossings, he entered the train explosion site to find clues, successfully obtained the information of the nuclear explosion terrorists, and saved Chicago. Afterwards, he made the last time through the source code, and asked Goodwin to turn off the life support system of his body in the current world. In the end, Geert lived in another parallel world.
Several crossings Geert has passed:
1st time: find out his identity, train explodes
2nd time: find a bomb, train explodes
3rd time: follow a person to get off the train, train explodes, fall on the rails, get hit and die
4th time : Take a pistol, get caught, the train explodes
5th: Found out that he was dead, there was a military service scene, and when he returned to the original world, the train hadn't exploded
6th: Passed by
7th: Passed by
8 Times: Found the bomber, got shot, the train exploded, and
died
, mark the world that Colt returned to after crossing the world as A0 world, and mark the world that Colt crossed into for the nth time as the world of An, and the characters in the world of An can be represented by the person's name n.
Among them, the 6th and 7th times may be omitted in the middle, because the professor once said that "you can't find the person who set the bomb, you have to go through it again and again", but it can't be many times, because in the parallel world of An's The ratio of time to time in world A0 is 1:1 (at the time of the last crossing, information can be obtained, Goodwin cut off the life support system that maintains Colt's remnant body after the countdown of 8 minutes, so the time ratio is 1:1). In the A0 world, after the 8th crossing, the bomber was found. From this, it can be calculated that the minimum time from starting the source code to obtaining the information is: 8*8+ process takes > 64 minutes, that is to say, even if there are omissions in the middle, it will not be too much. Here, let's describe it in terms of these 9 times. According to the ninth time crossing, the film shows that through the source code, a parallel world is actually opened every time, but the entry point of this parallel world is 07:40 this morning.
First of all, let's take a look at the questions raised after reading the general reading:
1. As the designer of the source code system, the professor only thinks that the source code is only a reassignment of time established in Colt's brain in the life maintenance warehouse virtual world, is it possible to know the source code to open a parallel world?
2. Except for the first time back, the other times have memories of parallel worlds and Colt's identity as a captain at the same time. So when you entered the A1 world for the first time, why did you have no memory of the objective existence of the source code in the A0 world, but in the AN(N>1) world, you could remember your own ins and outs?
3. After Colt came back, what was that called "Siege"? And what are the subtle changes in this "siege"?
4. For the world A9, the train did not explode, why did the history teacher Sean 9 suddenly become Colt 9? Under this logical arrangement, for Sean 9, he suddenly disappeared, and in the A0 world , he disappeared because he was killed by bombing, so in the world A9, what is the reason?
5. During each crossing process of Colt, except for one screen playback of military service and performing tasks, the other times are screen fragments with Christina and spherical buildings.
Assuming this is a very rigorous feature film, the rules that the story constructs for us are:
Rule 1:
The activation of the source code can allow Colt to enter the world of An, and in the parallel world An, it has been separated from the source code and developed its own world, that is, the source code is only the key to open the parallel world. It cannot control the development of the An world, nor can it force Colt from the An world back to the A0 world.
The reasons are as follows:
1. An world is a parallel world. This is clear. In the A9 world, the Colt 9 successfully disarms the danger and walks with the Christina 9, while in the A0 world, Goodwin has turned off the life support to maintain the Colt 0 after the countdown of 8 minutes System, it can be seen that the changes in the source code system of the A0 world have not affected the A9 world. Therefore, the source code is only the key to open the parallel world, and cannot control the development of the parallel world.
2. We analyze the way Colt returns to the A0 world n times:
(1) A1=>A0, A2=>A0, A4=>A0, A6=>A0, A7=>A0 these 5 times are because of the train explosion, He was killed on the train and returned to world A0.
(2) A3=>A0, accidentally fell off the rail and died.
(3) A5=>A0, in the A5 world, suddenly learned that he had died 2 months ago, and then the picture had a similar mosaic impression, and returned to the A0 world.
(4) A8=>A0, Colt 8 was shot by the bomber, after the train exploded, turned back to the A0 world, then died, and returned to the A0 world.
(5) The Colt 9 did not go from the A9 world back to the A0 world.
Cases (1, 2, 4) are clearly that death returns to the A0 world, while case (3) is that he suddenly learns that he is dead and returns. If you look at the A5 world, it is most likely that the Colt 5 died suddenly without any warning. It can be boiled down to the former case. (By the way, to describe death, for the world of An other than A0, the original spirit (if you wish, it can be called the soul) that invades from the world of A0, and its separation from the body, is death. Death in the world of A0, from It cannot be launched in this film) Then, when we look back and see him returning to the A0 world, it can be understood that the death of the people in the An world is restored to the brain of the original A0 world.
Therefore, we conclude that it is the death of Colt in the An world that triggers his return to the A0 world, therefore, the source code system, cannot complete Colt's recall event. There are two other pieces of evidence for this conclusion. During the two crossings of A3A0 and A8A0, after the previous train exploded, Colt 3 was still fighting with another person on the train platform, and the latter time, the person who installed the bomb Look at the watch and say, you messed up my plan, it means that the train exploded at 07:48, take a step back, even if it exploded at 48, and after the explosion, the Colt 8 still turned to look at the train The explosion scene, so these two times in terms of time, it has exceeded 8 minutes, if the source code system can only last for 8 minutes, and at the end of 8 minutes, they did not recall Colt through the system, there is only one explanation, Source code systems do not have recall capabilities.
Rule 2: When traveling through
parallel worlds, the reasons for the loss of memory may be
as follows: During the first time travel, in the A1 world, Colt 1 did not understand his mission, and he forgot what Goodwin explained to him. task. After returning from the first time, through Goodwin's memory training, he re-recognized Goodwin. The trigger for the memory loss is not given in the movie. And when he recognized Goodwin, Goodwin gave a very wise smile and said that you are welcome back. They had lost Colt's memory before, and they could only train him through Lily's memory test questions to make him recall. Apart from that, there was no other way.
Now back to the 5 questions asked above:
Before analyzing the problem, one more thing to clarify: There were two months between the Colt plane crash and the train explosion source code testing, in those two months, did they conduct source code experiments? The answer is, did. The reason is that in the A9 world, Goodwin 9 received a short message from an unfamiliar number. The beginning of the short message was a Lily memory test question. As soon as Goodwin 9 saw this sentence, he immediately became suspicious and ran to report it, explaining that this The test questions are used in their source code system testing and are confidential data. So in these two months, has their source code been successful, or have they achieved results? According to the last professor in the A9 world, he has a hunch that the source code will show up in the near future. It means that the source code system test is very likely to be successful in the past two months, but before today, it has not played such a big role in ruling out the train crisis. According to returning from the A8 world, after the source code successfully solved the case, the professor asked to clear Colt's memory of performing the mission, and then wait for the source code to be reopened. It means that if the experiment was successful before, then Colt's memory of performing the test task has been deleted.
Question 1: There are two situations for the professor. First, he is the designer of the source code system. He is likely to know that the source code opens a parallel world, but he is concerned about the world he is in, the sorrows and joys of other parallel worlds, It has nothing to do with this world, because according to the law - parallel worlds develop independently of each other. So, he tricked Colt to concentrate on investigating the bomb instead of being distracted, so that Colt could return to the A0 world by way of death, thus providing valuable information. If Colt n escapes the train and lives in a parallel world, the source code system has no idea about it, nor does it do anything, because his source code system cannot recall Colt n. The only thing he can do is to clear Colt's brain in the experimental cabin of the source code lab in the A0 world, and let him start from 0 and restart the source code system. This will waste a lot of time. So the professor resorted to tricking Colt in order to buy time. 2. Although the professor designed the source code, he did not understand the function and significance of the source code. Maybe in those two months of source code testing, the 8-minute limit was not exceeded, or there was some Colt who escaped in parallel space, taught them to set the starting point and starting value of the source code, and restarted the source code. Therefore, it has always been thought that the parallel space generated by the source code is just a simulated world that relies on Colt's brain. It should be said that the first case is more reasonable. Because after the 8th time crossing, the time was obviously longer than 8 minutes, and the professor turned a deaf ear to this time issue. It can be speculated that the professor was quite clear about the function and function of this system.
Question 2: According to Rule 2, it can be known that when parallel time travel is performed, memory loss will occur, and the reason for the loss is unknown. In addition, there is a problem with memory, that is, before starting the source code, the memory of the original execution of the source code task is cleared. If it can be said that the memory can be clear, why is Colt's original memory not cleared? The disadvantage of not dealing with it is that when Colt performs a mission in the An world, it is very likely that he will be distracted to find his original body, which will reduce the efficiency of mission execution. Why don't professors make a less distracting identity memory of their identity. From this point of view, we can analyze that part of Colt's brain cannot be erased or altered by the professor. Colt's brain is an important part of the source code system. When this brain dies, the source code system can't find other brain replacements temporarily, because, after returning from the 8th time, Goodwin wants to help Colt was relieved, the professor once said, maybe Colt is the only one who can make the source code system work. So Colt's brain has two parts of memory, one that is left over from him and one that is left over from performing a task. And the professor cleared only the second memory. In the film, they found that after Colt's crash, there was still a part of the brain working, and this part should contain residual memories, such as his identity, family and so on. And the lab repaired the part of the brain that stores the memory for performing tasks. Therefore, artificial memory can be erased, rewritten. This part of the content is inference and is not explained in the movie.
Question 3: When he travels back, the "siege" scene is an airplane cabin, which is Colt's construction of his living environment. According to previous inferences, his original memory has been lost. For example, he was in the process of the plane crash. His memory was not there at the beginning, his memory was on his way to the flight mission, so it was completely logical for him to put himself in a cabin when his brain started to work. Moreover, after the 2nd and 3rd crossings, the oil leakage and other malfunctions in the engine room were actually caused by a little bit of memory recovered in his brain. Then, after returning for the fifth time and knowing that he was dead, the "siege" that existed according to the memory of the brain collapsed. On the 8th time of crossing, the besieged city returned to its original appearance, which was a spiritual manifestation of Colt's strong will to put himself in the starting state of performing the mission.
Question 4: Let's take the A9 world as an example, Sean 9 is suddenly replaced by the spirit of Colt 9, which is indeed illogical in the world itself. But if you look at the structure of this parallel world as a whole, the A9 world was created because the source code of the A0 world was activated, which triggered the A9 world. For the A9 world, the characters in it must take the original world as the original base, and think that the logic unreasonable. But looking out of this world, one world triggers another world, and at the trigger point, a certain value is changed. This matter is completely tenable. We can only feel sorry for Teacher Sean in the A9 world. But our pity is meaningless, because that is an irrelevant world. Because of this, the professor doesn't care whether Colt can save the world in the parallel world, or whether he is born there. For the professor in the A0 world, only the A0 world is the world he should care about.
Question 5: The problem of freezing the scene of the spherical building in the process of passing through. First of all, in this film, there is no theoretical explanation about knowing future events. Therefore, it is not correct to say that Colt saw the future scene in his journey. So, is this a loophole in the film? This film mainly talks about issues related to parallel worlds, and we should take this as an entrance. For parallel worlds, there is a source code system that triggers other parallel worlds, and for parallel worlds that are triggered, they treat their own world as the source world. The source code system triggers a parallel world from one world, and for the other parallel world, the world has an external trigger port. Now, let's go back and look at the A0 world. In the A0 world, when Colt crossed, he saw a spherical building, which means that this scene has a memory in Colt's brain. There is only one explanation, and that is that Colt once walked with Christina in front of the spherical building. It is speculated that only when Colt in the A0 world is passed through the source code by Colt in other worlds, can he possibly carry that information. Well, let's make this conjecture now: there is a Y0 world, which is the source world, and in this world, the source code system was first created. There was a train explosion in the Y0 world, so the source code system was activated. After passing through many times, Colt successfully eliminated the danger of a nuclear explosion, but during the journey, Colt learned about his life experience and fell in love with that Christina, who has fallen in love with Sean. Remember, here Colt did not see the scene of the spherical building during the crossing. Similarly, after removing the danger of a nuclear explosion, Colt made a request to Goodwin to let him and Christina live in the parallel world Y9. Of course, with Goodwin's character, Colt got his wish. But as the years passed, when Colt faced aging and death, he was extremely sad, but he had come from other worlds, and he had the desire to relive the tender years. At this time, he must think of Goode Wen, the person who can help him travel through parallel worlds. After Colt in the Y9 world found Goodwin, he asked Goodwin to find the memory before Colt's plane crash, so he helped Colt to make a crossing. A few minutes later, Colt in the Y9 world died. The target world that Colt travels through is recorded as the B0 world. In the B0 world, Colt knew that he was facing a plane crash, but he accepted it calmly, because at this time he had the memory of the Y9 world and the Y1 world, and he knew that he would become part of the source code. The plane crash came as planned, but unfortunately, Colt was in the plane crash Later, the brain was damaged to a certain extent, leaving only the identity of military service and some incomplete memories of the spherical building. Subsequently, the Colt was sent to an institution for research, the Source Code Research Center. Then there are moments such as the beginning of the recording of the film. The B0 world that we successfully crossed this time is actually the A0 world we marked at the beginning. That is: the A0 world is also one of many parallel worlds. So far, the film has a rigorous process, rather than a random patchwork of fragments. Some people will ask, why didn't he record a lottery number in the Y9 world, enter the A0 world, and buy a lottery ticket to win the jackpot. If there is such a person, it means that the parallel world theory has been narrowed. According to principle 1, each world develops independently, and it is also described in the film: for example, after the first and second time travel, coffee was poured into Colt. On his feet, Christina reacted differently twice. The second time, she took out a tissue to clean Colt's shoes. Therefore, in the parallel world, the trend of major events does not change unless someone changes the clues that trigger the major events. The triggering factors of small events will be many and very subtle, so they are changing all the time. This is why parallel worlds are independent of each other. Some people will doubt that the Colt in the Y9 world crosses to the A0 world, what will happen if the source code system in this world is not developed? This possibility exists. However, the source code system is a huge project, and after Colt came to the A0 world, he lay in the experimental cabin without any interference with the outside world. Therefore, the possibility of the successful development of the source code system is extremely high, and, for the Y9 world, Colt will only die if he does not travel through the world, and he has tasted the happiness brought by the survival law of the parallel world, so, He must go to Goodwin. Out of tissue paper to help Colt's shoes. Therefore, in the parallel world, the trend of major events does not change unless someone changes the clues that trigger the major events.

At this point, the analysis is complete. If you didn't ask the above 5 questions when you watched this movie, then you didn't understand this movie.
