A physicist works in secret to build a wormhole generator, but its failure leads to surprising consequences.

While I don’t regret watching this, it’s only fair at best in my mind. While it does get tangled up in some of the more interesting themes of time travel fiction, it dances around things and is generally too fluffy for me to keep the tough stuff in my mind.

Synchronicity is a concept in psychology.

Carl Jung‘s belief was that, just as events may be connected by causality, they may also be connected by meaning. Events connected by meaning need not have an explanation in terms of causality.

BWAHAHAHAHA. no.

• 0:45 — Wow this looks old.
• 1:00 — Wow this music started extra-old. At least it sortof got better, though it feels wrong to me.
• 1:15 — Is this intentionally trying to look hipster-science fiction?
• 1:45 — Stop. Talking. Like. That.
• 3:00 — Coffee, Amphetamines
• 4:45 — Uh oh, it’s Michael Ironside

• 9:00 — “Missing pixel” is a concept in both electronics/hardware and software.

  • In a display, one of the points used to mix colour could be damaged or darkened, resulting in a screen with a single spot. This was uncommon, though it did happen, most frequently in early laptop technology.
  • When streaming data, a hiccup which would normally result in a part of an image missing something as subtle as a single point of data, would usually use inbuilt redundancy math to “recreate” that missing point.
• 9:30 — Why is he rushing? He was unconscious for some time.
• 9:45 — Oh man, I just had a Charlize Theron moment when first seeing her.
• 15:00 — “I won’t sleep until it’s complete” .. that’s a problem. Three days leads to questionable sanity.
• 15:45 — So. How did you get there again? By car? Where’s your car? Was it someone else’s car? Were they dropping you off in the middle of nowhere to smoke? Why were you there? What do you mean what’s with all the questions, I’m the one with the secret proje– oh wait, did I get you to sign a non-disclosure agreement? Fuck.
• 16:00 — She did not arrive with Klaus, because he didn’t know her.
• 16:30 — Soon-to-be-successful man. I must fall in love with him.
• 17:45 — No really, where the fuck did you get it?
• 22:00 — Well you have some repairs to do, but yeah.. another wormhole that you will have opened soon.
• 24:15 — Dahlia
• 47:30 — The headaches are caused when his 5-days-ahead self looks at his past self.

• 49:30 — Hey, that’s a Moleskine clone.

  • Was it in his handwriting? Because that would be cool. His booklet written as an explanation to her and technically for him.
• 1:01:00 — I read that as her writing a nonfiction novel about the inventor of time travel.
• 1:05:45 — Or how about.. the energy it took to essentially duplicate all the matter and energy of the traveller is cut off when the wormhole entrance collapses, and the travelled-creation gradually dissipates as its substance bleeds out.
• 1:08:15 — Delaying it would let him eat a bunch and replace the matter being bled out. Except that wouldn’t work for a significant portion of the body.
• 1:35:45 — Nonfiction, called it.

• 1:36:15 — It throws away all sensibility with that music.
