The Universe is crazy interesting, yo. And we don't really understand anything about it. We can talk about the details, but when we hit the details of the details, we, as in humans in general, have not reached appropriate scientific literacy in regards to anything.

That was succinct as fuck. This thread is magick.

[Osiris]

      Right. Having read the thread, I'll say this:

      Time is an illusion created to give context to the way individuals experience the universe around them. Each universe is populated with other beings with we interact with, so time is merely a way of coordinating with other beings and objects that populate the an individual's reality with another's.

Example:

We are standing together in a room, you and I.
In the room is a ball, a table, and a door.
I pick up the ball, roll it under the table, and as it rolls across the floor, I leave the room via the door.
You watch all of this happen.
Time has moved for you, and me, but what has time not moved for?
The table.
The table isn't interacting with either the ball, the door, or the two people present in the room.
It isn't aware of our presence in the room, nor is it aware that the ball roll below it across what it does not know to be a floor.
However, it is affected by time.
With the passage of years we will see that the table decays.
Is the table experiencing time or are we experiencing time through the deterioration of the table?
Time is subjective based on those experiencing it, as such there is no need to travel faster than light to move through time.
All you need to do is focus your attention on the details of what has happened, is happening or will happen.

My brain has overloaded from even just reading the first two pages of this thread. TARDIS. That's all I have to contribute to this conversation. Carry on.

God, this thread makes me want to watch Primer again.

God, this thread makes me want to watch Primer again.

Primer was ok. I really enjoyed both of these.

Safety Not Guaranteed is amazing, Aubrey Plaza is fucking awesome in it.

Timecrimes was just complex enough to make you shake your head, but not so much that you focused more on the how as opposed to the what.

Slight Spoilers for Primer. Go watch it first.

Honestly, the how is why I liked Primer as much as I did. It made me feel like an idiot for not understanding at first, but thinking on it after it makes a strange type of sense, even if every possible explanation is not fully understood. Even after you think you've figured out how they traveled through time, you then get to think on the actual story, how the vessel tore their friendship apart. How they manipulated and exploited their colleagues. And that it was an indie film made for like 8k, I think.

*Fixed your Link for Safety as well.

[Osiris]

Yeah from what I recall it was made for nickels. Not at all a bad flick, it just didn't do it for me.
