Is Source Code Film's Interpretation of Quantum Physics Flawed?

but he emailed the handler before the experiment had taken place in her reality.

Yup. And unless I was mistaken the clip where she receives it was when she had just arrived for work that morning and the scientist fellow was on the phone discussing the chance to try his new tech.

I don't think anyone with any credibility has said that. Neurologists will tell you that our best science says that consciousness is nothing more than something that arises from brain function. Free will? Again we can show that all thoughts are created some moments before we ever become consciousness of them. You can not make case for consciousness being the thing that determines free will on that basis. You also cannot talk about quantum physics and consciousness as though quantum physics says anything about consciousness because it doesnt. I know some people have made a living from bringing them together but they are talking philosophy and wrapping it as science.

That is why I said that I do not believe it has any scientific traction. Its fairly common crystal waver pseudoscience though. New agers try to explain everything with quantum physics now. I do not mention it because I think it is at all creditable, I mention it because I see in it a glimmer of where the writer got their inspiration and it seems to partially explain the "science" in the film.

it seemed to me the writer took a few separate ideas and then proceeded to write a story around them without any attempt at binding them together. He took the idea of all possibilities existing until the wave is collapsed, the idea of a computer simulated world, the idea of implanting memories into a brain and of course the idea of multiple/parallel universes. How they came together and what they really meant he didnt seem to care.
