Have I written about that one shot in Spider-Man: Homecoming from inside the Washington Monument, looking through the window and you can see Spider-Man getting ready to swing through, and behind him you can see the helicopter with the people inside, and through that you can see the sky, and all those levels are still in focus? I don't think I have, because it's such a specific thing to write about, but I was getting deja vu earlier that I had, so I'm not sure.
So speaking of deja vu though, free will+time travel kind of bothers me, not from the perspective of the traveler, but from the perspective of the people whose decisions are erased because they're not the time traveler. That has anything to do with deja vu because, what if time travel would be real, but into your own past self, and not real memories of the future because that would also break causality, but still there'd be some remnant, which would be deja vu? So essentially every time you experience deja vu it's because sometime in the future you screwed up so tremendously that you had to travel back in time to undo it, and you can remember somewhat of that forgotten future only through a sense that you've seen it before. Meaning people who get deja vu a lot travel back into their own selves a lot, that kind of deal.
Or every time you deja vu it's somebody else that has traveled backwards in time without you noticing it (obviously) and you have flashes to the previous universe that you were in before they did so.
ReplyDeleteThat would make a lot more sense, yeah. Especially considering the whole free will thing not canceling out other's actions, when if it's your own going back in time that gives you deja vu that WOULD cancel out others' actions, while if others going back in time the deja vu of your own would mean some continuity is preserved. Of course that would be things wind up the same anyway due to the nature of deja vu, but...
