@@Gadget-Walkmen I love the film I don't think anyone can take the time inversion concept and make it that mind blowing and clear. But I think why most critics don't like it is, because of the objective a common plot that says if this thing will get to the wrong hands it would destroy the world. Unlike Nolan's other films like communicate with your daughter through a fourth dimension or plant an idea inside of another brain. However restating it again I love the concept of the film I have not seen anything beautifully done and frankly make it possible in a film. It's just the plot is not unique. I do understand Nolan is trying to make a spy film though.

I like the idea of the radiation slowly disappearing and object eventually reverting to normal entropic progression with time. It could be the gold remains inverted longer because of how stable of an element it is.
From my understanding this just solves a plothole that makes the movie work. We learned that inverted and normal particles annihilate each other, but the clothes they wear are inverted and they touch the normal air. So they should immediately die making the movie not possible. This would fix the characters interacting with each other which would kill the need for the radiation explaining how things that characters interacted with even got there in the first place. Tenet would not work in the "real" world from my understanding since you could not reverse entropy for only certain "particles", they would immediately annihilate. I might have misunderstood it though, it wrecks my brain too :D
@@DaGhost141It's not that inverted and normal particles anihilate each other, it's that the SAME particles anihilate each other when they meet, one inverted one normal. So as long as a inverted character's clothes don't touch the normal set of clothes it's fine
@@guil7290 Correct but particles dont know which particles they are. Basically the "winds" are only there for the viewers to not be too weirded out. If we wanna stick to real physics a bullet forming in wood is *theoretically* possible since entropy CAN reverse it's just impossibly uncommon. For this reason you don't need the winds for example. I love Tenet but imo they didn't find a clear line where to stick to real physics and where to add a bit of magic.
Just when I think I understand the movie, a video like this shows layers and details I hadn't thought of yet... Very cool explanations! Tenet's a masterpiece.
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill well technically a Kat did kill him. lol imagine if they made him one of those weird zoo billionaires and part of Kats murder plan was an inverted tiger.
Oh my god I finally understand the Sator's gold conundrum. It seemed so strange that he could just take that inverted gold from the capsule, sell it and become rich with it even though it should have continued to travel into the past and just disappear right away. But he wasn't digging it out, he was BURYING IT at Stalsk-12 right after he bought it in the future from the inverted gold's point of view. In fact both the act of buying and selling must happen 2 times and are inverted from different perspectives to maintain consistency. From the inverted gold's point of view, sator dug it out in the future, sold it in the past, then bought it again even further into the past and finally buried it at Stalsk-12 in his youth so it might lie there for eternity. From Sator's point of view he found the gold in his youth, sold it right away, established himself and then rebought the gold in the future to bury it for posterity in order to secure the unbroken world line. The original gold served to establish the timeline and bootstrap Sator but it wasn't suddenly "taken" from the capsule and its timeline wasn't broken, it was only temporarily repackaged before it was sent again on its way either way you look at it. Thanks, after watching so many videos I finally started to look at the Tenet world in the new way. It makes sense now.
So you're saying before he has a turnstile he has to re-bury the inverted gold at some point otherwise it won't be there in his past for him to dig up, but once he as one he can just take the inverted gold from capsules and invert it and spend it as he wants ? I don't really understand what the problem is with taking the inverted gold and spending it beyond that.
I get that if he takes the gold now and doesn't re-bury it it can't be buried in the future, but what if he doesn't re-bury it ? And what if he keeps it and puts it in a turnstile ?
@@adrienperie6119 What's happened happened. If future Sator didn't do things properly it never would have happened as it should. But things happened as it should because he did things properly. Inverted gold has to maintain its own inverted timeline. The timeline being it's inverted and sent from the far future, the future rich Sator "finds it", digs it up and "sells it", then after a while the past Sator "buys it" it back, "gets poor" and puts it in the ground. From Sator's point of view he's poor, he digs up gold, sells it, gets rich, in the future he buys it back to bury it in the ground on the orders of the future guys in order to establish unbroken timeline. This way both inverted gold's timeline is secured and Sator's past is bootstrapped. Since time works in a specific way in tenet (the entire time and all that has ever happened already happened) it makes sense because if it didn't it couldn't have happened. The first time inverted gold made contact with Sator was in fact in the future when he was burying it, correctly establishing the unbroken timeline for the inverted gold's journey. You're asking the question in the wrong way. Look at the things from the inverted gold's point of view. If something happened differently inverted gold's journey would not work as planned and Sator's past wouldn't have been established. There is no IF. Things happened the way they happened because there was no IF.
@@TheWoodenshark I understand that now, by burring the inverted gold Sator creates the conditions for it to be able to even be there in the first place. It means the gold has been there for basically forever when it is first dug up. What's even harder for me to get and what I don't fully get yet is what he does for the other times he gets gold, he inverts it using the turnstile ? But if so, there is no longer inverted gold to be buried ? So gold is inverted in the future and buried, travels backwards in it's capsule underground until sator uncovers it, puts it in a turnstile and now it is normal gold to be spent. From Sator's point of view he buries a capsule, sends coordinates to the future, he sees gold appearing in the turnstile and on the other side there is inverted gold he has to bury in that capsule. I think I got it ? But man, that is just an amazing mind twister, can't help but feel bad for all the people choosing to opt out of using their brains by saying it's bull and doesn't work, and at the same time I despise the lack of respect they display at such amazing intellectual work that went into this, it's basically unseen in the movie world. What I hate the most is the people saying "there is nothing to understand, it's a paradox" so that they can feel better and put their brains to rest. I, rejected those answers ;) (Andrew Ryan)
The timing of Sators' music motif when he clapped that thieving hood - I don't think I have laughed that much in months. "Tw@t". #'Weeeerrrrrp# hahahaha.
I love the theory that the radiation of an inverse object could wear off, and that's why the lab tech and Tenet wear protective gloves in that first scene with inverted objects. It might not to prevent THEM from getting irradiated, but to protect the radiations from interacting and eventually canceling! (Course, then that brings up the question of how the gloves themselves would avoid somehow transferring radiation, but that's a question for the future. Or maybe Future!Me in the past!)
Holy moly, this was the last thing I couldn't wrap my head around in this film. This series of animations has been extremely helpful! Thank you for your service!
You blew my mind with the gold reveal. To this day I always thought that was a massive plothole (how can he receive buried inverted gold from the past, as digging it up would prevent it from being buried). The concept that he first builds a turnstile and receives the gold from that is so genius. Well done.
I have no idea why digging it up would prevent it from being buried. That logic isn’t applied anywhere else in the movie. It was inverted, buried in the future, and discovered by Sator in the past. They could have mined it from whatever gold already exists in their time. No one asks how they could fire an inverted bullet, as if that would keep it from being manufactured or packaged at some other point in time.
@@westmcgee9320 no. Think about the timeline of the inverted gold. It's inverted in the future (so starts moving backwards through time) and is then buried. It would be streaming backwards through time whilst buried until Sator digs it up. But assuming Sator isn't inverted, the act of him digging it up means it's no longer buried underground throughout the future so it's a plothole. This video illustrated a way around that that makes sense and uses in-movie logic (the turnstiles). Very cool.
@@DannyDoesGuitar just sent back inverted capsule, with inverted gold within, from the future. And Sator would not be busy with re buring gold to maintain capsule for the future.
@@DannyDoesGuitar nope, this inverted gold just CAN do the path of normal gold and still be discovered by Sator. It's just question of perspective: for "blue" gold it is Sator who INVERTED. But more interesting question: how he managed to work with inverted gold? For exaple: bullet's in lab travel from table to hand - it is horrible to imagine all the Sators struggle, even if this question was answered in intructions from capsula.
Imagine welby doing animation on science experiments, it would be next level ❣🙌 and I personally request welby on doing animations on science experiments in future, so that it would be more useful for science students ❤
not gonna lie. Even before Tenet, I'd be up at night watching all kinds of nerdy youtube videos on quantum physics for dummies. This one stands out as one that inspired me. th-cam.com/video/Q1YqgPAtzho/w-d-xo.html
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill I'm really inspired by your work,you're really great sir , could you please animate on science experiments more, so that it will be more helpful for science students visualisation
A couple of fun thoughts about the gold; First, it's the perfect means for the future to pay Sator with because it does not oxidize(rust) and will remain perfectly normal(albeit inverted) gold pretty much forever. Whereas the *bullet* will eventually break down into lead oxides and disseminate into the environment... but from an outside viewpoint, lead oxides were drawn by the tree from the air and ground, somehow managing to form into a bullet inside the tree which is made into a chair, whereupon gunsmoke gathers around the bullet hole and re-forms into gunpowder as the bullet is un-fired. Second, Sator killing his minion because he tried to steal some gold makes perfect sense when you think of the gold as not just money, but as potential *BOMB.* If the moron had managed to accidentally bring the reverted gold in contact with its inverted counterpart, it would have annihilated - and if conservation of energy is still in effect in the TENET universe, 27 pounds of gold annihilating another 27 pounds would produce a blast of roughly 1161 megatons. And the Tsar Bomba - the largest bomb ever detonated with a yield of just 53 megatons - made a crater *two kilometers wide.* He didn't kill the schmuck for stealing from him(well not *just* for that), but because he risked an extinction-level event. Hell, I'm pretty sure I would have killed the little gimp for that myself.
ha yeah,..that would be catastrophic. That may also explain Sator's immediate Shocked Expression looking up just before that, when his other henchman is telling him what happened. Like,.." Are you f(*&^n serious?!"
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill Other spy villains have to worry about their mooks skipping maintenance or marksmanship drills. Sator has to worry about his minions accidentally *blowing up a continent.*
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill Oh, quick thought; are you going to do a piece on how air is inverted for time travelers to breathe? Or could it be as simple as; "Normal mammals breathe oxy-nitrogen mix and exhale carbon dioxide. Inverted ones in effect, must have carbon dioxide in their environment to convert to oxygen - though to a normal observer, they are exhaling carbon dioxide into a storage device and breathing atmospheric oxygen. We are inverted, the world is not."
@@kalaong nah. none of that is necessary. It's pretty simple to understand if you think about it. Inverted people can't breath regular air. They need inverted air to match the direction of their lungs. So they carry around those masks and little air tanks, like a Scuba diver. Inside the tanks is inverted air. That's where they get their oxygen, they breathe like normal. Therefore they must exhale inverted co2. Simple as that. From a forward observer, all they'd see is co2 moving backwards back into the mask exhaust port.
I have ideas for a future video, far future. That just visualizes a bunch of random side things that people wonder about. Like how do you see or hear. I can include a brief thing on breathing there.
That ending sequence showing how Sator knew his henchman stole from him gave chills; I've been wracking my brain for months trying to figure out this scene! It all makes sense now, thanks! Is this the final video of Tenet you'll produce? I hope not, more animations please. This movie is so deep-I have an unopened 4K disc that I plan on keeping as a collector's item. Even though we live in an era of digital everything, this movie affected me so much, I have to have it in my presence physically at all times. Truly a masterpiece, thank you, Mr. Nolan (and you too, Welby)!!!
That part is actually the part that threw me off. I don't understand why they have to constantly bury and rebury and sent it back in time to send forward in time, over and over again.
@@evm6177 Imagine being this childish enough to copy and post the same nonsensical garbage over and over again.

@@bigmiki2620 I’m not sure they do have to. When they get the algorithm, they don’t have to re-bury it. Of course, someone from the future creates it but still. I’ve seen no evidence that the future’s bad guys must provide the gold for it to be used later…to provide it to them.
it's the first Tenet explanation (and I've watched like 10 of them at least) that deals with the worldlines of inverted objects. And it made some sense. Thanks.
Finally! I still have 50% grasp of how inverted object drop-off works. As always, we live in a twilight world, Welby. Edit: Watching these Tenet explanation videos is like an online class now lmao XD
You are an absolute legend dude. Your videos help immensely. I am so happy that I understand the film more and more. But there is a lot more for me to discover. I probably have to watch your videos again and again. Keep it up!
Honestly ty so much for like tackling this concept it has taken me forever to understand tenet which I love because I love to try to decipher confusing movies, a.k.a Christopher Nolan’s mind
The fact that the Presents causality on inverted objects changes the past for the inverted object is mind-blowing to me. So like you said, aslong as the action does not break the world line then any possibility that would cause an inverted object to go back to where it became first inverted will happen.
The more I think about these details, the more I'd like to see some of them visually depicted in full live action/animation (as helpful as these simple 'action figure' animations definitely are for visualising these weird concepts) - for example, it would be wild to see how the inverted 'bad guys' from the more distant future buried their inverted gold for its journey far into the past; the act of them 'burying' it would actually be pretty complicated, with the ground actually coming together around their 'digging' rather than breaking apart.. like watching video of a hole being dug, the gold-containing capsule being extracted, and then the hole being filled again, all in reverse with 'backwards physics'. The future dudes doing the burying would need to be inverted themselves, not just the inverse time capsule, because if they were moving forwards through time normally, their inverted gold would already be there when they first dug the hole to place it in, no matter where they dug it would just materialise there as soon as they went with the intention to place it there in their forward-moving minds... I need a lie down
Hey Man, really appreciate your explanation and thought process. I have personally watched your videos multiple times to understand what is happening in the movie. Please keep up the good work.
Consider this... A forward moving particle enters the turnstile, inverts itself, comes out, comes in contact with it's forward moving self and they both get annhilated... It's funny, because for a normal person watching this would see two identical objects popping out of thin air and then disappearing again into the turnstile. So the annhilation point can be considered as both the origin and the ending of that particle. So how is this possible, because most of the objects in the movie(including TP😅) has a well defined origin(if not a end). I know it's the same *"can we change the past?"* question but this one, for some reason, seems more meaningful than the others.
The explanation Wheeler gives about annihilation seems odd due to Causality being broken. If the forward particle was destroyed then it is not around to enter the turnstile to begin with. So that event is impossible to occur. It IS possible if the only one annihilated is the inverted particle though. Wheeler was talking to an inverted Protagonist at the time so perhaps she meant Only He would be destroyed. But it is unclear in the film.
3:59 and that precisely explains when TP first inverts and steps in that puddle, that water reacts before his foot makes contact with it. I remember people saying this is dumb because what if the water started reacting and TP decided to change his mind and not put his foot down. This breaks the world line. If TP decided to not touch his foot to the water than the water would not have reacted as if he stepped in it. It would simply not occur.
@GoharioFTW yep. Same with trying change your mind entering the turnstile. If your intent is to troll the universe, you'll just be standing there all day waiting for something that you intentionally weren't going to do in the first place.
Alright, this is a banger, actually makes accepting the movie bearable. I shudder to think that Nolan thought this all through the same way, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I don't think Nolan thought this through all by himself. He probably came up with the idea of inverting objects in time then hired smart scientists and screenwriters to help him sort out the details such that everything would work.
Despite watching TENET 3 times in cinema, yet there are so many things... remained undigested in my mind. Yup, TENET is more complicated than MEMENTO, INCEPTION and INTERSTELLAR.
I just assumed that damage from inverted objects doesn't exist eternally into the past, but it simply appears shortly before unhappening. In the Freeport battle, you see the Protagonist start bleeding from a fight that he's about to have with himself shortly before the battle actually happens. Then the damage reverses itself during the battle. It is similarly likely that there weren't always bullet holes in the glass. They appeared from the perspective of forward time shortly before the Protagonist unfired them. You even see the holes growing before the battle begins
I explore all of that in the previous two videos. #3 and #2. I do make a distinction between the "effects' on Normal non-inverted objects, like the glass, and the actual inverted object itself, which this video #4 explores.
Before watching this, I have no Idea or not understand what exactly Sator want from that gold. After watching this video, i was mesmerized by how well you understand the movie and realize that Sator is really f*ck*ng smart ahead them (PT, Neil, and Tenet)
When an idea is so mindblowing, it's like when I'm back in my days learning Einstein's theory of special relativity. How spacemen accelerating so fast that when they come back to Earth, they're still young but 50 years have passed, or how you're in a ship moving at near light speed, and you fly a smaller ship inside that ship, yet you're still not surpassing the speed of light. Mindblown.
Here's another crazy concept. Causality has a speed. It is the speed of light and we aren't really SURE why causality has a speed limit considering it's quantum nature. So you understand that the sun is roughly 8 light minutes away, meaning that if the sun where to perish we wouldn't see the lights go out for 8 minutes. But did you know that the EARTH itself wouldn't be affected by the loss of a gravitational orbit around the sun for 8 minutes as well. Even though the sun is absent we would still be locked into orbit like it DID exist because of the speed limit of causality.
Yes, there is only One way something happens. I mean to say valid possibilities of an explanation , not implying something a universe building and branching based on criteria or a multiverse. I use the word "possibility" when referring to explanations offered. Because we don't observe something and can only guess at how something got there, we can theorize "Possibilities". but ultimately, there is only one right answer.
i usally dont have much problems grasping and understanding movies, but tenet is beyond me. even after 10 explenation videos, i only really understand 80% of how this is all supposed to work. its like high math to me
hey man, 80% is nothing to feel bad about :) and I hate math. at some point it's just like,.. ok , fine, I got the gist, I saw some cool visuals,..and move on. :)
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill its strange, i saw interstellar with my wife before we saw tenet. she didnt understand how the black hole could bend time, you minutes near it, can turn into years for others.. i had no problem understanding it, as if i was born with that concept in mind... to me, it felt as simple as 3+3+3. you dont need to do the math in your head, you just know the answer is 9. on the other hand, she understood inversion immediatly and everything fell into its place like a solved puzzle for her at the end
Trying to make sense of the time mechanics of Tenet is like trying to count the # angles dancing on the head of a pin. You can jump through as many hoops as you'd like, but at the end of the day angels aren't real so it doesn't matter. The problem with Tenet is that its treatment of "time" fails miserably regarding the actual physics of time-space. Einstein would have hated this movie, and I did as well.
The bullet in the chair has a decreasing Entrophie. I didnt exist some time ago, because on its way to the past it rust into pieces. Its particels are rust laying aroung. For non-inverted people: Rust from diffrent places assembels themself into a bullet. Like a inverted burning paper actually gets restored from dust and smoke.
In my interpretation - we see what happens during the events of the story, but we know that both past and future events effect the events that we see, which is logically impossible - but that's also the premise of the story so we just have to accept that paradox, which means that the events that play out chronologically after the story as we see it *will* *be* *different* from the future we are presented with during the story. The use of time inversion techonology *guarantees* that the future will be different on the new time line the technology has created. Instead of destroying the past as intented, those in the future gave the present the power to not only destroy that future but change the events as we see them in the movie. For example - As The Protagonist risks his entire plan to protect Kat and Max/Young Neil, and considering he already owes him for saving his life multiple times, it's impossible to imagine that he would allow him to die in the next pass of the new time line. Due to his lack of power and knowledge The Protagonist is locked into the events as they unfold only up until the end of the story, then he is granted the power to alter the timeline as he sees fit, he's become as Sator puts it "like a God".
Theres a sci-fi story about a character who is time reversed but is unable to move and only perceives the area around themselves. They find themselves being worshiped as a deity because from the forward persepctive this skeleton began to form followed by connective tissue, muscle, skin, until it was a screaming suffering person. This is what is happening to inverted objects traveling backwards. From their perspective entropy is still increasing so they rust, decay, and fall apart into dust. This is equivalent to the radiation dissipation theory resulting in annihilation (it would likely appear similar to natural half-life radiation decay models so the object wouldn't wholly spontaneously annihilate but instead dissolve by radiation decay). So the case for the bullet in the wall and chair from the forward perspective those bullets would "naturally" form within the wall and chair - essentially like Boltzmann brain (or Booltzmann bullet in this case).
I think a better explain for the bullet Training is that a tenet agent became inverted and fired a bunch of inverted bullets into the wall for the purpose of training other agents later
no matter how many fucking time i will watch or how many hours of explanation I have watched I just don't get it... i am exhausted I just couldn't wrapup my head around. i am done. whoever has understood this movie like 100%, you have my respect.....
So the inverted radiation wears off, and the instant it wears off completely, it collides with its reverted self and is wiped from the dimension. That’s actually a really good, non-confusing way to explain it. Definitely easier to comprehend than the the Entropic Wind theory.

@@WelbyCoffeeSpillI think youll enjoy watching Predestination.

I like the idea of the radiation slowly disappearing and object eventually reverting to normal entropic progression with time. It could be the gold remains inverted longer because of how stable of an element it is.
Or perhaps the capsules are lead lined to keep the radiation in?
@@Peztllence both could be true
From my understanding this just solves a plothole that makes the movie work. We learned that inverted and normal particles annihilate each other, but the clothes they wear are inverted and they touch the normal air. So they should immediately die making the movie not possible. This would fix the characters interacting with each other which would kill the need for the radiation explaining how things that characters interacted with even got there in the first place. Tenet would not work in the "real" world from my understanding since you could not reverse entropy for only certain "particles", they would immediately annihilate. I might have misunderstood it though, it wrecks my brain too :D
@@DaGhost141It's not that inverted and normal particles anihilate each other, it's that the SAME particles anihilate each other when they meet, one inverted one normal. So as long as a inverted character's clothes don't touch the normal set of clothes it's fine
@@guil7290 Correct but particles dont know which particles they are. Basically the "winds" are only there for the viewers to not be too weirded out. If we wanna stick to real physics a bullet forming in wood is *theoretically* possible since entropy CAN reverse it's just impossibly uncommon. For this reason you don't need the winds for example. I love Tenet but imo they didn't find a clear line where to stick to real physics and where to add a bit of magic.
Just when I think I understand the movie, a video like this shows layers and details I hadn't thought of yet... Very cool explanations! Tenet's a masterpiece.

@@WelbyCoffeeSpill well technically a Kat did kill him.
lol imagine if they made him one of those weird zoo billionaires and part of Kats murder plan was an inverted tiger.
Oh my god I finally understand the Sator's gold conundrum. It seemed so strange that he could just take that inverted gold from the capsule, sell it and become rich with it even though it should have continued to travel into the past and just disappear right away. But he wasn't digging it out, he was BURYING IT at Stalsk-12 right after he bought it in the future from the inverted gold's point of view. In fact both the act of buying and selling must happen 2 times and are inverted from different perspectives to maintain consistency.
From the inverted gold's point of view, sator dug it out in the future, sold it in the past, then bought it again even further into the past and finally buried it at Stalsk-12 in his youth so it might lie there for eternity. From Sator's point of view he found the gold in his youth, sold it right away, established himself and then rebought the gold in the future to bury it for posterity in order to secure the unbroken world line.
The original gold served to establish the timeline and bootstrap Sator but it wasn't suddenly "taken" from the capsule and its timeline wasn't broken, it was only temporarily repackaged before it was sent again on its way either way you look at it. Thanks, after watching so many videos I finally started to look at the Tenet world in the new way. It makes sense now.
As Priya said: "You have started looking at the world in a new way."
So you're saying before he has a turnstile he has to re-bury the inverted gold at some point otherwise it won't be there in his past for him to dig up, but once he as one he can just take the inverted gold from capsules and invert it and spend it as he wants ? I don't really understand what the problem is with taking the inverted gold and spending it beyond that.
I get that if he takes the gold now and doesn't re-bury it it can't be buried in the future, but what if he doesn't re-bury it ? And what if he keeps it and puts it in a turnstile ?
@@adrienperie6119 What's happened happened. If future Sator didn't do things properly it never would have happened as it should. But things happened as it should because he did things properly. Inverted gold has to maintain its own inverted timeline. The timeline being it's inverted and sent from the far future, the future rich Sator "finds it", digs it up and "sells it", then after a while the past Sator "buys it" it back, "gets poor" and puts it in the ground. From Sator's point of view he's poor, he digs up gold, sells it, gets rich, in the future he buys it back to bury it in the ground on the orders of the future guys in order to establish unbroken timeline.
This way both inverted gold's timeline is secured and Sator's past is bootstrapped. Since time works in a specific way in tenet (the entire time and all that has ever happened already happened) it makes sense because if it didn't it couldn't have happened. The first time inverted gold made contact with Sator was in fact in the future when he was burying it, correctly establishing the unbroken timeline for the inverted gold's journey. You're asking the question in the wrong way. Look at the things from the inverted gold's point of view. If something happened differently inverted gold's journey would not work as planned and Sator's past wouldn't have been established. There is no IF. Things happened the way they happened because there was no IF.
@@TheWoodenshark I understand that now, by burring the inverted gold Sator creates the conditions for it to be able to even be there in the first place. It means the gold has been there for basically forever when it is first dug up.
What's even harder for me to get and what I don't fully get yet is what he does for the other times he gets gold, he inverts it using the turnstile ? But if so, there is no longer inverted gold to be buried ? So gold is inverted in the future and buried, travels backwards in it's capsule underground until sator uncovers it, puts it in a turnstile and now it is normal gold to be spent. From Sator's point of view he buries a capsule, sends coordinates to the future, he sees gold appearing in the turnstile and on the other side there is inverted gold he has to bury in that capsule. I think I got it ? But man, that is just an amazing mind twister, can't help but feel bad for all the people choosing to opt out of using their brains by saying it's bull and doesn't work, and at the same time I despise the lack of respect they display at such amazing intellectual work that went into this, it's basically unseen in the movie world. What I hate the most is the people saying "there is nothing to understand, it's a paradox" so that they can feel better and put their brains to rest.

Whooo, a new Tenet visualiization video! What a nice treat.
The timing of Sators' music motif when he clapped that thieving hood - I don't think I have laughed that much in months. "Tw@t". #'Weeeerrrrrp# hahahaha.
I love the theory that the radiation of an inverse object could wear off, and that's why the lab tech and Tenet wear protective gloves in that first scene with inverted objects. It might not to prevent THEM from getting irradiated, but to protect the radiations from interacting and eventually canceling! (Course, then that brings up the question of how the gloves themselves would avoid somehow transferring radiation, but that's a question for the future. Or maybe Future!Me in the past!)
I affirm that the operator of this channel is Christopher Nolan.
years from now when someone understands this concept, they will create this video
Holy moly, this was the last thing I couldn't wrap my head around in this film. This series of animations has been extremely helpful! Thank you for your service!
You blew my mind with the gold reveal. To this day I always thought that was a massive plothole (how can he receive buried inverted gold from the past, as digging it up would prevent it from being buried). The concept that he first builds a turnstile and receives the gold from that is so genius. Well done.
I have no idea why digging it up would prevent it from being buried.
That logic isn’t applied anywhere else in the movie.
It was inverted, buried in the future, and discovered by Sator in the past.
They could have mined it from whatever gold already exists in their time.
No one asks how they could fire an inverted bullet, as if that would keep it from being manufactured or packaged at some other point in time.
@@westmcgee9320 no. Think about the timeline of the inverted gold. It's inverted in the future (so starts moving backwards through time) and is then buried. It would be streaming backwards through time whilst buried until Sator digs it up. But assuming Sator isn't inverted, the act of him digging it up means it's no longer buried underground throughout the future so it's a plothole. This video illustrated a way around that that makes sense and uses in-movie logic (the turnstiles). Very cool.
@@DannyDoesGuitar just sent back inverted capsule, with inverted gold within, from the future. And Sator would not be busy with re buring gold to maintain capsule for the future.
@@DannyDoesGuitar nope, this inverted gold just CAN do the path of normal gold and still be discovered by Sator. It's just question of perspective: for "blue" gold it is Sator who INVERTED. But more interesting question: how he managed to work with inverted gold? For exaple: bullet's in lab travel from table to hand - it is horrible to imagine all the Sators struggle, even if this question was answered in intructions from capsula.

@@WelbyCoffeeSpill Thanks for sharing the link. Your videos are on point.
A couple of fun thoughts about the gold;
First, it's the perfect means for the future to pay Sator with because it does not oxidize(rust) and will remain perfectly normal(albeit inverted) gold pretty much forever. Whereas the *bullet* will eventually break down into lead oxides and disseminate into the environment... but from an outside viewpoint, lead oxides were drawn by the tree from the air and ground, somehow managing to form into a bullet inside the tree which is made into a chair, whereupon gunsmoke gathers around the bullet hole and re-forms into gunpowder as the bullet is un-fired.
Second, Sator killing his minion because he tried to steal some gold makes perfect sense when you think of the gold as not just money, but as potential *BOMB.* If the moron had managed to accidentally bring the reverted gold in contact with its inverted counterpart, it would have annihilated - and if conservation of energy is still in effect in the TENET universe, 27 pounds of gold annihilating another 27 pounds would produce a blast of roughly 1161 megatons. And the Tsar Bomba - the largest bomb ever detonated with a yield of just 53 megatons - made a crater *two kilometers wide.*
He didn't kill the schmuck for stealing from him(well not *just* for that), but because he risked an extinction-level event.
Hell, I'm pretty sure I would have killed the little gimp for that myself.
ha yeah,..that would be catastrophic.
That may also explain Sator's immediate Shocked Expression looking up just before that, when his other henchman is telling him what happened.
Like,.." Are you f(*&^n serious?!"
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill Other spy villains have to worry about their mooks skipping maintenance or marksmanship drills. Sator has to worry about his minions accidentally *blowing up a continent.*
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill Oh, quick thought; are you going to do a piece on how air is inverted for time travelers to breathe? Or could it be as simple as; "Normal mammals breathe oxy-nitrogen mix and exhale carbon dioxide. Inverted ones in effect, must have carbon dioxide in their environment to convert to oxygen - though to a normal observer, they are exhaling carbon dioxide into a storage device and breathing atmospheric oxygen. We are inverted, the world is not."
@@kalaong nah. none of that is necessary.
It's pretty simple to understand if you think about it.
Inverted people can't breath regular air. They need inverted air to match the direction of their lungs. So they carry around those masks and little air tanks, like a Scuba diver.
Inside the tanks is inverted air. That's where they get their oxygen, they breathe like normal. Therefore they must exhale inverted co2. Simple as that.
From a forward observer, all they'd see is co2 moving backwards back into the mask exhaust port.
I have ideas for a future video, far future. That just visualizes a bunch of random side things that people wonder about. Like how do you see or hear. I can include a brief thing on breathing there.
I’m a visual learner, simple stick figures is all that’s needed to explain the complexities of inverse chronology thank you so much!!! 😊
Me too. I totally make these videos just as much for myself to work things out.
That ending sequence showing how Sator knew his henchman stole from him gave chills; I've been wracking my brain for months trying to figure out this scene! It all makes sense now, thanks! Is this the final video of Tenet you'll produce? I hope not, more animations please. This movie is so deep-I have an unopened 4K disc that I plan on keeping as a collector's item. Even though we live in an era of digital everything, this movie affected me so much, I have to have it in my presence physically at all times. Truly a masterpiece, thank you, Mr. Nolan (and you too, Welby)!!!
I think I may do one on the Opera scene next. There isn't much inversion going on but it somehow manages to be just as confusing.
That part is actually the part that threw me off.
I don't understand why they have to constantly bury and rebury and sent it back in time to send forward in time, over and over again.

@@bigmiki2620 I’m not sure they do have to.
When they get the algorithm, they don’t have to re-bury it. Of course, someone from the future creates it but still. I’ve seen no evidence that the future’s bad guys must provide the gold for it to be used later…to provide it to them.

@@evm6177 Naw then there would be complaints of over explanation.
@@evm6177 hahaha. Don't like coming up with your own interpretations for things?
Honestly ty so much for like tackling this concept it has taken me forever to understand tenet which I love because I love to try to decipher confusing movies, a.k.a Christopher Nolan’s mind
Worldlines! Heck yeah, one of my favorite concepts; useful for solving so many paradoxes.
The fact that the Presents causality on inverted objects changes the past for the inverted object is mind-blowing to me. So like you said, aslong as the action does not break the world line then any possibility that would cause an inverted object to go back to where it became first inverted will happen.
The more I think about these details, the more I'd like to see some of them visually depicted in full live action/animation (as helpful as these simple 'action figure' animations definitely are for visualising these weird concepts) - for example, it would be wild to see how the inverted 'bad guys' from the more distant future buried their inverted gold for its journey far into the past; the act of them 'burying' it would actually be pretty complicated, with the ground actually coming together around their 'digging' rather than breaking apart.. like watching video of a hole being dug, the gold-containing capsule being extracted, and then the hole being filled again, all in reverse with 'backwards physics'.
The future dudes doing the burying would need to be inverted themselves, not just the inverse time capsule, because if they were moving forwards through time normally, their inverted gold would already be there when they first dug the hole to place it in, no matter where they dug it would just materialise there as soon as they went with the intention to place it there in their forward-moving minds... I need a lie down
I'd love to do a full on CG short of some scenarios. But if I want to do something looking better than simple colors and geo it will take a lot! :)
So hard work, TENET is my favorite movie, watching this video again after 10 months
This guy is a legend!!
Hey Man, really appreciate your explanation and thought process. I have personally watched your videos multiple times to understand what is happening in the movie. Please keep up the good work.
There indeed isn't that many movies that you have to watch videos multiple times explaining how things work in the movie.
Consider this...
A forward moving particle enters the turnstile, inverts itself, comes out, comes in contact with it's forward moving self and they both get annhilated...
It's funny, because for a normal person watching this would see two identical objects popping out of thin air and then disappearing again into the turnstile.
So the annhilation point can be considered as both the origin and the ending of that particle.
So how is this possible, because most of the objects in the movie(including TP😅) has a well defined origin(if not a end).
I know it's the same *"can we change the past?"* question but this one, for some reason, seems more meaningful than the others.
The explanation Wheeler gives about annihilation seems odd due to Causality being broken.
If the forward particle was destroyed then it is not around to enter the turnstile to begin with. So that event is impossible to occur.
It IS possible if the only one annihilated is the inverted particle though. Wheeler was talking to an inverted Protagonist at the time so perhaps she meant Only He would be destroyed. But it is unclear in the film.
I always assumed Neil's body would decay backwards so when the bunker was built the dust that is Neil is also placed there by happenstance
yeah, I think that is perfectly acceptable.
The Return of the King
3:59 and that precisely explains when TP first inverts and steps in that puddle, that water reacts before his foot makes contact with it. I remember people saying this is dumb because what if the water started reacting and TP decided to change his mind and not put his foot down. This breaks the world line. If TP decided to not touch his foot to the water than the water would not have reacted as if he stepped in it. It would simply not occur.
@GoharioFTW yep. Same with trying change your mind entering the turnstile.
If your intent is to troll the universe, you'll just be standing there all day waiting for something that you intentionally weren't going to do in the first place.

First Tenet Fucked My Mind Now His Explanations Are Fucking It Much Harder..😂❤
Loved Your Explanation
Alright, this is a banger, actually makes accepting the movie bearable. I shudder to think that Nolan thought this all through the same way, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I don't think Nolan thought this through all by himself. He probably came up with the idea of inverting objects in time then hired smart scientists and screenwriters to help him sort out the details such that everything would work.
the more confusing the storyline the more fun it gets.
„Back to the wall. Which is more a slab of Stone.“ - the most important Discovery of the video :D
For the Rest Great Vid dude! Very well done.
Despite watching TENET 3 times in cinema, yet there are so many things... remained undigested in my mind. Yup, TENET is more complicated than MEMENTO, INCEPTION and INTERSTELLAR.
The way i try to follow tenet is by the way its described in the ending of the 2nd movie
"Dont understand it, just feel it"
I just assumed that damage from inverted objects doesn't exist eternally into the past, but it simply appears shortly before unhappening. In the Freeport battle, you see the Protagonist start bleeding from a fight that he's about to have with himself shortly before the battle actually happens. Then the damage reverses itself during the battle. It is similarly likely that there weren't always bullet holes in the glass. They appeared from the perspective of forward time shortly before the Protagonist unfired them. You even see the holes growing before the battle begins
I explore all of that in the previous two videos. #3 and #2.
I do make a distinction between the "effects' on Normal non-inverted objects, like the glass, and the actual inverted object itself, which this video #4 explores.
Oh. My. God. I had no idea this movie was THIS complicated. Dayum.
It isn't necessary. This is some deep dive nerd-stuff,.lol.
You can always take the film's recommendation and just "Feel It".

I love I still come back to these vids haha well done
Before watching this, I have no Idea or not understand what exactly Sator want from that gold. After watching this video, i was mesmerized by how well you understand the movie and realize that Sator is really f*ck*ng smart ahead them (PT, Neil, and Tenet)

You just made my day.
This is so interesting and mind boggling at the same time...
When an idea is so mindblowing, it's like when I'm back in my days learning Einstein's theory of special relativity. How spacemen accelerating so fast that when they come back to Earth, they're still young but 50 years have passed, or how you're in a ship moving at near light speed, and you fly a smaller ship inside that ship, yet you're still not surpassing the speed of light. Mindblown.
Here's another crazy concept. Causality has a speed. It is the speed of light and we aren't really SURE why causality has a speed limit considering it's quantum nature. So you understand that the sun is roughly 8 light minutes away, meaning that if the sun where to perish we wouldn't see the lights go out for 8 minutes. But did you know that the EARTH itself wouldn't be affected by the loss of a gravitational orbit around the sun for 8 minutes as well. Even though the sun is absent we would still be locked into orbit like it DID exist because of the speed limit of causality.

Going to share this in r/timetravel great video ;)
There's no "possibility", choices are illusions this movie has a very deterministic view of time traveling.
Yes, there is only One way something happens.
I mean to say valid possibilities of an explanation , not implying something a universe building and branching based on criteria or a multiverse.
I use the word "possibility" when referring to explanations offered.
Because we don't observe something and can only guess at how something got there, we can theorize "Possibilities". but ultimately, there is only one right answer.
i usally dont have much problems grasping and understanding movies, but tenet is beyond me. even after 10 explenation videos, i only really understand 80% of how this is all supposed to work. its like high math to me

Trying to make sense of the time mechanics of Tenet is like trying to count the # angles dancing on the head of a pin.
You can jump through as many hoops as you'd like, but at the end of the day angels aren't real so it doesn't matter.
The problem with Tenet is that its treatment of "time" fails miserably regarding the actual physics of time-space.
Einstein would have hated this movie, and I did as well.
The bullet in the chair has a decreasing Entrophie. I didnt exist some time ago, because on its way to the past it rust into pieces. Its particels are rust laying aroung.
For non-inverted people: Rust from diffrent places assembels themself into a bullet. Like a inverted burning paper actually gets restored from dust and smoke.
Where does the rust come from? (for non-inverted timeline)
In my interpretation - we see what happens during the events of the story, but we know that both past and future events effect the events that we see, which is logically impossible - but that's also the premise of the story so we just have to accept that paradox, which means that the events that play out chronologically after the story as we see it *will* *be* *different* from the future we are presented with during the story.
The use of time inversion techonology *guarantees* that the future will be different on the new time line the technology has created. Instead of destroying the past as intented, those in the future gave the present the power to not only destroy that future but change the events as we see them in the movie.
For example - As The Protagonist risks his entire plan to protect Kat and Max/Young Neil, and considering he already owes him for saving his life multiple times, it's impossible to imagine that he would allow him to die in the next pass of the new time line. Due to his lack of power and knowledge The Protagonist is locked into the events as they unfold only up until the end of the story, then he is granted the power to alter the timeline as he sees fit, he's become as Sator puts it "like a God".
Theres a sci-fi story about a character who is time reversed but is unable to move and only perceives the area around themselves. They find themselves being worshiped as a deity because from the forward persepctive this skeleton began to form followed by connective tissue, muscle, skin, until it was a screaming suffering person.
This is what is happening to inverted objects traveling backwards. From their perspective entropy is still increasing so they rust, decay, and fall apart into dust. This is equivalent to the radiation dissipation theory resulting in annihilation (it would likely appear similar to natural half-life radiation decay models so the object wouldn't wholly spontaneously annihilate but instead dissolve by radiation decay).
So the case for the bullet in the wall and chair from the forward perspective those bullets would "naturally" form within the wall and chair - essentially like Boltzmann brain (or Booltzmann bullet in this case).
I think a better explain for the bullet Training is that a tenet agent became inverted and fired a bunch of inverted bullets into the wall for the purpose of training other agents later
The gold makes sense, the bullet..... WHAT?
Seriously this makes no sense
This is insane
Just when I thought I was starting to understand this movie
no matter how many fucking time i will watch or how many hours of explanation I have watched I just don't get it...

I still don’t get it…
I love your videos!
Thank you so much for making these
damn it!! just when i had it, i’m confused again!!!!
So the inverted radiation wears off, and the instant it wears off completely, it collides with its reverted self and is wiped from the dimension. That’s actually a really good, non-confusing way to explain it. Definitely easier to comprehend than the the Entropic Wind theory.
