Three Logics of Traveling Through Time and Space

Roman 2022-04-20 09:01:01

A brief summary of several common worldview settings that have been seen on the subject of time and space travel~~ The first one: closed causal chain or circular causal chain, the past and the future are both predestined history, history cannot be changed, go back to The pig's feet that tried to change history in the past instead created history, that is to say, the past and the future are mutually causal. 12 Monkeys, former destinations (the logic of this film is strong and self-consistent, I think), terminators are all of this kind, and interstellar travel and arrival are also the second type: going back to the past (or by communicating with people in the past time) Other ways to affect the past) can change history, and after the change, a new timeline will cover the old one. Because of the butterfly effect, many people's lives and even their existence may have been changed. Generally, only the traveler still has the memory of the original timeline. For example, Back to the Future, Butterfly Effect, Mirage, and Steins; Gate. The original parallel universe existed at the same time. For example, Avengers 4 "Eternal End" has both one and two!

The first tastes of a fatalistic, mechanistic worldview. The latter two express that life has a variety of possibilities, and history is full of chance and randomness. A small choice can lead to a very different life. Lola Run, No Name, and Fate of the Kong (well, some dirty stuff got in there) is also the truth.

    The simple sci-fi comedy is not a concept first. The concept of crossing the bridge is delicate and rich, and it can be seen that some fashionable and popular elements, such as rock and roll, can be seen at the time. It can be said that it is the earliest series of films with a positive performance. To a large extent, Han Han's "Riding the Wind and the Waves" is directly taken from the film. Interfering with the love of his parents in the past is exactly the same as in his own films, and it is basically plagiarism. Another example is "Charlotte Annoyance", which can be said to be a bonus of the "Back to the Future" series of movies. Traditional styles such as the tune of the sequel at the end cannot conceal the desire to make the cake bigger. This is the fate of all classic IPs. It is not the first time Einstein has been "hacked" in a movie, and this is not outrageous.

    [getting into the DeLorean]

    Dr. Emmett Brown: This is the exact time you left. Let's send you back at exactly the same time. It'll be like you never left. Now, I painted a white line on the street, way over there. That's where you'll start from. I've calculated the precise distance, taking into account the acceleration speed and wind resistance retroactive from the moment the lightning strikes, which will be in exactly 7 minutes and 22 seconds.

    [winding a hand-held alarm clock]

    Dr. Emmett Brown: When this alarm goes off, you hit the gas.
