@ Ieuan: I presume the implication was that somehow this program was able to tap into the parallel universes postulated by quantum/string theory, the problem is it suggests you can travel between those parallel states via consciousness alone which I don’t think is supported on any theoretical level, it’s tenuous at best but it does make you think about the potential for infinite parallel universes and what would happen if you could transfer between them.

Some of you are missing the point.

“Reality” in this movie is that Stevens is hooked up to a computer/life support system. The memories he is “experiencing” are those pulled out of the brains of another person who is already dead. He is in effect the single controllable charachter in a scene that would otherwise play itself out in exactly the same form every time like a movie.

The premise is interesting but fails completely on any scientifific level once you get to the point of deviation. Any tiny deviation of his actions would cause different reactiosn of those around him, however the people who derived the model have only the 8 miutes of memories in question to work with, it would be impossible to derive from that limited information any of the main persons charachteristics and thus their reactions can not be determined. Even more ridiculous is the notion that a charachter whose memory is not present (i.e. the bomber) can be modelled at all.

Thinka about it, without the bomber’s memory, even if Stevens went to the exact spot where the bomb had been planted, how would they know it was there?

And then to top it all off for some reason they went with a ridiculous “another timeline” ending.

without knowing the brain work of the person died in train accident …how another can trace his mind as shown in movie….who’s also dead. Does neurons will be truly active months together after death….

“In the movie, the technology is being tested on a wounded soldier—a scenario Higgins expects may play out as these techniques become more advanced.”

In the movie, the solider was not wounded. He was dead. They only kept him alive to keep his brain alive. From his midsection down he had no body and he had no arms. The only intact part of his body was his torso, half of his arms and his head…

Also, maybe I misunderstood the movie, but I don’t think it’s accurate to say that he was “inhabiting” anyone’s consciousness. The man he was “inhabiting” was dead, and to me the explanation suggested that that man’s consciousness (and possibly others’) was being sort of replayed for the soldier. It was a little more complicated than that, given the quantum-possibilities angle, but I never got the sense that the teacher on the train in the past had been literally hijacked when the soldier carried out his mission.

“Neither Stevens nor the man whose consciousness he inhabits are hooked up or jacked in to anything”

I saw the movie last night and Stevens was jacked in. His existence inside the container was purely a creation of his mind and when they show him in the life support container there are several wires running to an exposed part of his brain.
