I love the part where Dr. Alexander attempts to look up time travel in the library by accessing its sub-components only for the assistant to catch on and say "Time Travel? Accessing science fiction". Apparently the good doctor didn't realize he was the ONLY one to invent time travel ;).
While he is dismissive of the notion for the most part, there is one instance at 2:11 where Dr. Alexander says, "No no...practical application" and the assistant adopts a look of interest. Of course, until Alex asks why one can't change the past. Then he becomes dismissive again.
@Deonex you are thinking of alternate timelines. If time travel were mastered and mare to exist then a starting point system would be made to your specific timeline to bungee back to its existence and not stay in the timeline that you newly created

@@KingreX32 That's because science and technology evolve exponentially.

The fact H. G. Wells was named as a fictional writer of "The Time Machine" in the film was just genius, given it was a work of fiction, but somehow, the fiction became reality for the good doctor, and then ended with a nice Star Trek nod with the LLAP, in which much time travel took place... :D

According to the subtitle it's only the year 2037. Who knows, with the advancements in AI and the artemis program there will be such assistants and a moon colony by then.
Actually I do fault the writers here a bit. In the area of theoretical physics, the implications of time travel, and why one can't go back is a very serious question.

That is because modern GR as it is does allow for some solutions that permit time travel, with all of the causality breaking things that implies.

It's a computer, and computers can't theorize. They can only report based on current understanding. At the time period he was in, time travel was still considered impossible by science. So the answer is based on that consensus.
Such a wonderful futuristic scene.. The best part I like the most is.. Vox : The time machine was written by H.G. Wells in 1894, it was later adapted to a motion, picturised by George Pal and the stage musical by Andrew Loyld Webber, which were not found in many years. Alex : That's not what I mean. Vox : Would you like to hear a selections from the score? Alex : No
The kids with the portable devices "micro scans", an all glass iPad? That's one prediction of the future. Except maybe phones will become more utilized as mini computers in the future
Curiously, the concept of a "newspad" is about 50 years old, and was first shown in Stanley Kubrik's "2001: A space odyssey" …. th-cam.com/video/5T1UGfm_OMM/w-d-xo.html
That will never happen unless Ipads or similar devices would be cheap as a paper notebook. The government just will never have the budget for those in any timeline lol. It is a constant.
I love the sound right after the PMC avatar says “Live long and prosper”. As he walks off the right of the screen we hear the “whoosh” of the door on the Enterprise lol.
"There's a place called tomorrow... a place of joy...not of sorrow.. cant you see... its a place for you and me.... " That song was in my mind 20 years. I imagine Kang the Conqueror singing it. That and "Let's do the Time Warp again".
It's really weird to think about that we can literally build this today. Transparent screens are already a couple years old and if you combine chatGPT with a 3d human model -> library AI.
@mattyhodg1 Actually Vox NY-114's reference was sarcastic, referring to his insistence about time travel being possible. Like 'great, I have to deal with a nutball who thinks time travel is totally real' so he saw him off with a sarcastic 'Live long and prosper!' and then an eyeroll at him. Also the movie didn't reference itself, it referenced a previously-made movie and the book by H.G. Wells which this was all based off of, something I found clever.
Great scene. It showed how far everything is advanced and he believes that the advanced AI may have the answer he seeks about changing the events in the past
What I love is how the librarian gives the scientific answer of the early 2000s, which was and still is that its impossible to be in the past. Vs the philosophical answer which is that if you changed the past, it would become the present, thus destroying every event that happened between the alteration and the moment you activated your time machine, everything would be annihilated. If that restructuring didnt completely rip the fabric of reality apart. Id be surprised.
That's assuming the multiverse theory on temporal mechanics is incorrect, and a time traveler isn't just jumping between two causality's at different points in their timeline. Theoretically, there could be a dimension of "anti-time" where the linear progression we experience in our currently occupied 4 dimensions is reversed. We just lack the the computational and Brain power to wrap our heads around how one might access other dimensions, let alone how we may survive accessing such a dimension.
Yeah, it annoys me a little because such a huge amount of theoretical and philosophical work has been written on "temporal paradox" that the library should have pulled that up and not gone huffy to science fiction.
+brylidan --> I rewatched this scene on DVD with subtitles turned on and he says, "chronography." Considering his question later on about why one can't change the past, I'm assuming he wants to know details about chronography to figure out why one can only slightly modify a chain of events in the past but not their ultimate outcome. In the movie he can change how his fiancé dies but cannot stop her dying.
This movie has a lot of good stuff in it (be it as a reflection of the George Pal TTM, as it covers much of the same ground, or a real thoughtful take on the cause and effect of traveling in time). I think the only real problem I had was when Pierce goes 50K years into the future and it looks to be more like a few years.
I get a kick out the part at 2:50 when Alexander was asked by the library guy who asks if he wants to hear a score from the musical, Alexander says No and has to hear it anyway
I thought this part was hilarious, but what I found problematic was that, if VOX is "a compendium of all human knowledge", why did he fail to recognize the picture in his PMC as that of the person standing in front of him, Alexander Hartdegen.
The PMC lists The Time Machine by HG Wells. So.... there's a novel about the very story Alexander Hartigan is living through at that very moment. Either that's an extremely clunky meta reference, or it implies that Hartigan eventually manages to rebuild the time machine after the events of the movie, travels back to his time, and recounts his story to Wells. I know, I know... don't think about it too much.
he should've travelled back into the past, write and publish a paper on his studies. invoke more interest in his area THEN travel forward in time to see the results. he should've taken a page out of that Einstein clerk and avoid playing with dice.
This scene was filmed in the Riverside County Historic Courthouse in Riverside California. It looks exactly the same except for the bookcases in the background
Anyone heard what the teacher said ?? She said “Tommy, you do that again I will re-sequence your DNA so help me!” So in 2030s they figure out how to change DNA to make you a better human??

+brylidan That's what I thought at first too! ;-) I think he says farinography or something similar.
+brylidan He says Chronography.
Chronography: -obsolete- the recording or study of past events.
+barchetta575m Thanks!
LOL I always thought that too since I first saw this at age 13 xD
+brylidan --> I rewatched this scene on DVD with subtitles turned on and he says, "chronography." Considering his question later on about why one can't change the past, I'm assuming he wants to know details about chronography to figure out why one can only slightly modify a chain of events in the past but not their ultimate outcome. In the movie he can change how his fiancé dies but cannot stop her dying.
Accessing hg wells lol
George Washington Just an artist... *ironic?
This movie has a lot of good stuff in it (be it as a reflection of the George Pal TTM, as it covers much of the same ground, or a real thoughtful take on the cause and effect of traveling in time). I think the only real problem I had was when Pierce goes 50K years into the future and it looks to be more like a few years.
I get a kick out the part at 2:50 when Alexander was asked by the library guy who asks if he wants to hear a score from the musical, Alexander says No and has to hear it anyway
I want a Librarian like this now
Alexa is the first step towards one.
I like that he sarcastic. Not just a over friendly guide.
love this movie
If my computer has a sassy attitude like that, i will spit my coffee out. Right onto his motherboard.
Frank Lloyd Webber is going to write a Time Machine Musical? WHERE CAN I BUY ADVANCE TICKETS?!
I think it's pretty funny how he reacts when shown his own documents
This was a really good movie.
I can't believe this movie came out 15 years ago
You wrote this comment 4 years ago, so 20 years and counting.. It's been a great run so far!
Every time I play with ChatGPT, I often think of this scene
Hope one day it will sing a song like this😂
Love this scene
my favorite scene
I thought this part was hilarious, but what I found problematic was that, if VOX is "a compendium of all human knowledge", why did he fail to recognize the picture in his PMC as that of the person standing in front of him, Alexander Hartdegen.
Because Alexander Hartdengen died. Running a face recognition program would not be logical
That and it will dismiss his image as a coincidence and they can’t get any DNA records to match him to the past as it wasn’t done until the 1900s
Perhaps there were not any photographs of Hartdegen that survived or no one decided to scan his image.
In the future we will all dress similarly in plain, monochromatic outfits - that's always been the way it's shown in the movies. Well, nearly always.
When I first heard this song in this scean for the first time I was blown away and outwinded
Thank you
The PMC lists The Time Machine by HG Wells. So.... there's a novel about the very story Alexander Hartigan is living through at that very moment. Either that's an extremely clunky meta reference, or it implies that Hartigan eventually manages to rebuild the time machine after the events of the movie, travels back to his time, and recounts his story to Wells.
I know, I know... don't think about it too much.
I like the Spock and sound of Enterprise door open
Microscans?
That's the closest from an iPad
This will be Chat GPT very soon.
Yes, teacher please resequence Thomas' DNA.
Kind of amazing how we have those devices that the students are holding now, they look similar to tablets.
AGI 🤷? Live long and prosper. I love how they meet again thousands of years later. The librarian, remembers him🙋
nice touch... the sound of the star trek pocket doors as the photonic librarian storms off...
he should've travelled back into the past, write and publish a paper on his studies. invoke more interest in his area THEN travel forward in time to see the results. he should've taken a page out of that Einstein clerk and avoid playing with dice.
Yeah, we're about here now....the librarian was an optimized ChatGPT 🤣
"Practical application...." It was a rather well written and enacted scene.
I love the Star Trek whoosh noise at the last second after he says live long and prosper.
"Would you like to hear selections from the score?"
"No."
*starts singing anyway*
Such a cool scene!
He said chronography.
That AI wasn't as smart as he thought... he performed the Vulcan salute improperly, thumb in.
I think the special effects from 1:55 - 2:03 sound pretty cool and futuristic.
Love how the librarian was low-key throwing shade the whole time.
This scene was filmed in the Riverside County Historic Courthouse in Riverside California. It looks exactly the same except for the bookcases in the background
A certified ChatGPT moment.
Anyone heard what the teacher said ?? She said “Tommy, you do that again I will re-sequence your DNA so help me!”
So in 2030s they figure out how to change DNA to make you a better human??
Ask for a Covid jab and get your dna modified right now. Why wait? Hurry while supplies last. It will definitely make you a better person. You’ll become heavenly.
Apparently in the future somebody discovered a gene that makes you not listen to your teacher and they have the ability to "resequence" it and remove it from your DNA. LOL
@@ThePlaton20 ... and, despite that, they choose not to xD.
