Will you kill yourself and live the life you want to live.

This film uses the setting of "the night the comet came, which changed the instantaneous decoherence of parallel space" to interpret the famous hypothetical experiment in physics - Schrödinger's cat. Based on this experiment, the film unfolds from the many-world interpretation (rather than the Copenhagen interpretation). In Schrödinger's cat experiment, it is unknown whether the cat is alive or dead before the box is opened. There are two possibilities (two possibilities, two existences, two spaces, and two worlds). At the moment when the box is opened, the many-worlds interpretation sees the two rapidly decohering, no longer affecting each other but coexisting, while the Copenhagen interpretation sees the two collapse into one.
The eight protagonists in the film make many choices, either intentionally or unintentionally, in the face of many events. After each choice, there is a permutation and combination (multiplication of each independent event), and the appearance of each combination will generate a space. Because multiple spaces will not be decoherent, the world is like a denser and denser network as time changes, messy and disorganized, and therefore the ending will eventually turn black, showing the darkness of human nature.
After watching it, I was naturally hooked, and I was terrified to think about the details. It's not that it's worth the three brushes, otherwise it will waste a lot of directors and screenwriters.

  • [last lines]

    Kevin: [his phone ringing] That's weird. It's you calling me. Hello?

  • Laurie: Em, you seem to be the comet expert here. What happened the last time?

    Em: This one passed over a hundred years ago, but much farther.

    Laurie: But do we know about anything that happened?

    Em: Nothing happened then, it was too far away.

    Laurie: So, is there any reason we should be freaked out right now?

    Em: Well, I mean, it is a lot closer this time.

    Laurie: What does that mean?

    Em: Okay. I read one more thing...

    Lee: Oh, another story!

    Em: Just one more. It's called the Tunguska Event, and, um, it was a comet or a meteor or something like that, that entered the atmosphere over Siberia and exploded over Earth. So it didn't actually have physical impact. It didn't touch Earth, it didn't leave a crater or anything, but the force of that explosion flattened trees for hundreds of miles. But it only killed about one to two people.

    Laurie: It's Siberia. There were probably only two people there.

    Em: Yeah, but they don't necessarily...

    Mike: [jokingly] It wiped out the population of Siberia.

    Laurie: Basically, yeah.

    Em: Right.

    Laurie: Well, that doesn't make me feel better.

    Kevin: And when was this?

    Em: It was like, in 1908, 1903...
