Quantum physics movie -- What the *$@! are we thinking? And upcoming movie..
My friend who is learning calculus and physics, and I teach him what I know, works at movie theatre.
He told me about a new movie in 2004, called "What the fuc* are we thinking?"
It's about quantum physics and the development of science. Anyone seen this movie? I can't see it yet. Probably because of the damn title, I'd love to see it! But I live in a small town (lake havasu) 3 hours away from phoenix. We probably wouldn't get it from its messed up title.
However, I know my movie theatre is getting a movie called:
A Sound of Thunder
One small step for man
Cast: Edward Burns, Ben Kingsley, Catherine McCormack, Corey Johnson, Jemima Rooper
Set in a near future where time travel is possible, this is the story of a travel agency, Time Safari Inc. (owned and managed by Kingsley's character), that arranges hunting trips for wealthy customers back in time to hunt dinosaurs. Each trip is carefully planned, with a scout identifying dinosaurs about to die, and then sending the clients back just seconds before, so the course of time is not altered by the kill. However, in this case, a nervous hunter steps off the trail, and steps on a butterfly. The historical repercussions of the death of a single butterfly, compounded by millions of years of effects, leaves the hunters to return to a future that is not quite the one they came from... Now, Travis Ryer (Burns), the lead dinosaur hunter, must team up with Sonia Rand (McCormack), the inventor of the time machine technology to stop the "time waves" that are rippling up from this event, threatening to erase humanity from existence.
Release Date: 03-11

Here's my view on what we know on time travel and quantum stuff, please correct me and/or give me your views, I might have this mixed up, thanks:
There are much less problems in traveling to the future than in the past.
If you were to travel in the past, you would make an entire timeline of yourself. You could be your grandfather, daugther, etc?
Anyway, if you made a time machine. You couldn't go back in time before the time machine was made..since it didn't exist.
This movie is about a guy who makes a time machine, goes back into time and takes people to visit hunting when the dinosaurs roamed.
They were supposed to follow a certain path, but this one person went off that path. He stepped on a butterfly. This independant reaction caused several other dependant reactions which were dependant on the independant reaction (stepping on the butterfly). This caused several other chain reactions, which ultimately changed history. So when he came back into the future everything was different.
The point is: Is it possible in reality to change history?
If you went back into history, and changed history on your time line? Could you? If you did, would you appear in another parallel universe when you traveled back to where you were?
Are there actually multi universes? I heard from someone this can't be true because it would need an infinite matter in the universe. And they say that would be impossible. I don't like the word impossible; because its complete negation. You're saying its not possible, you're saying it doesn't have A CHANCE of being possible.
Thanks.
