 The first warning to you guys is I should have given you this warning before I even talked about it, but if you haven't Watched arrival yet. There's gonna be spoilers in this video. Okay, it's very short, but it's gonna be spoilers and it's gonna Now what I thought we'd do in this video is do a little bit of Mathematics of movies or mathematics in movies, I guess now. I just watched arrival for a second time last night and Something popped out that is related to mathematics and it's sort of related to What we did for a previous video for ASMR math where we're talking about Why we can't travel at the speed of light right taking taking a look at Einstein's Einstein's equations and realizing that Mathematically anyway the only reason that we can't really travel at the speed of light is because we've got a division by zero in the equations, right and Arrival has a Certain element in that That's related to what we talked about Specifically traveling at the speed of time a speed of light and time associated in there as well, right? so my First warning to you guys is I should have given you this warning before I even talked about it but if you haven't Watched arrival yet. There's going to be spoilers in this video. Okay, it's very short, but it's going to be spoilers and it's gonna It's the punchline So if you haven't seen it you want to see it if you like your sci-fi like your fantasy here This is sci-fi right not fantasy, but if you like your science fiction Pause this video stop this video go watch arrival and then you can come watch this video okay, seriously because One of the best things with science fiction and fantasy as well, but science fiction comes into play a lot is the punchline Okay, how the future is laid out and that sort of works this way throughout most movies or comic books or books and The punchline is usually delivered at the end and the story that you're watching or reading So this one's gonna have spoilers now in Arrival, okay, I'm assuming you've already watched it. Okay in arrival what we find out is That's uh, I don't want to give away too much just in case you haven't watched it and you're watching this video But it can't be helped right in arrival basically aliens arrive on earth and they land a few different spots and different governments are trying to communicate with them and trying to figure out what's going on There's miscommunication, right? Because the language is very important in In our lives and obviously in alien lives as well as we find out in this movie, right? So language communication is very important one of the reasons we get conflict in the world is because of miscommunication Right made between nations may be between tries made between individuals, right? So this sort of plays out in the movie, but at the end this conflict results itself because we find out that The language that the aliens what they're sharing with us is basically their language and their language is Works out in a way where it allows you to Live all of your life all of time at the same moment so you can You can see everything happening Right, you can experience everything happening, right? So you're basically doing time travel within your lifespan, okay? now one thing that I Realized after the second watch sort of thinking about and stuff like this is So the way I'm assuming and I haven't read up on this I don't know if this is based on a book or and you know if someone else has done analysis of this This is what popped into my mind when it's related to the mathematics in the movie, right? at the end of the movie towards the end of the movie we find out that the reasons that aliens have come to earth and are communicating with us are helping us out is Sharing their language allowing us to travel in time within our lifespan I'm assuming it's only within a certain person's lifespan Okay, so if you live to be 80 years old you can travel to any moment within those 80 years, right? So the reason that they're sharing this with us is because As one of the aliens says 3,000 years from now They will need humanity's help. Okay, and From the first watch this didn't really click to me But on the second watch it sort of went way a second that implies certain things, right? if the language that they're sharing allows us in individual or Leave the living being right? Someone or something with consciousness to be able to travel in time within their lifespan Then as human beings we have a certain limit lifespan, right? We talked about this in a previous video how the perception of time changes with age Changes with how much time you've lived and how much time you still have yet to live, right? and I like that perspective using ratios and taking a look at how time changes with age But if we let's assume we live to be a hundred years old, right? then when the aliens say that They're gonna need our help 3,000 years from now then there's only two possibilities to this Okay, that why the aliens know that they're gonna need your help in this they either live You know the aliens are talking to the humans. They either live 3,000 plus years because they've been able to travel their lifespan to be able to see That they're going to need humanity's help in 3,000 years or They're sort of leapfrogging, right? So This is this is sort of the way I perceive this to be Okay, let's just put this little Board up and it's it's snowing outside. It's February and we're getting Hit with serious snow, so it's an awesome time So the way I proceed this to be is this If the aliens are born here, right and they're interacting with us at a certain Time-span, let's say the only possibility if they are able to know that human beings They need human beings help in 3,000 years. They either live They either live to be 3,000 plus years old, right? They live to be 3,000 years old, right? or Because they're they're interacting with us. Let's say during this period or if they say they need our help 3,000 years from now If they're born here, maybe they're interacting with us and this is all right and obviously this is not the scale, right? Maybe this is where humans live right and this is the alien lifespan and They were able to travel somewhere over here and then come back or see what's happening somewhere around here and come back and get humans to understand their language so they can also Evolve right or we can also evolve or the aliens are leapfrogging each other, right? So alien lifespan may not be 3,000 years Alien lifespan may be a certain period here 500 years. Let's say In that case, they wouldn't know that they needed our help 3,000 years from now The only way they could achieve that is if they're leapfrogging each other So this alien may live to be 500 years. This alien another alien That is born halfway through this this aliens life Lives to be 500 years, right? So there's a gap of 250 years here and this alien is able to see what's happening here and Coming back to an earlier time and telling these people what's happening and they continuously do this they continuously do this for multiple generations until one of these generations Sees realizes that they need humanity's help right and they go back and They reveal that information during this time zone where You know other people live other aliens live right and they're older and they're younger here and These people go back and tell the generation before them and these people go back and tell the generation before them And so on and so forth Until the aliens that we see in the movie that generation hits and they come to earth As soon as they find out that's why they land in multiple zones. They all come to earth or They send Representatives in different parts of the earth to tell humanity here That they're gonna need our help three thousand years from now. I thought that was an amazing twist I thought no, I thought that was that was pretty cool or I didn't realize I didn't have this perspective On the first watch. I sort of got this perspective on the second watch Right, and it was it was really cool to me and sort of shows the mathematics of it sort of mad the math creeping in into the movie where if you time travel Only within your lifespan and this idea has been presented in other sci-fi Pieces of war other sci-fi genres making movies or comic books or books in the past as well have come across it before But I've never come across it in this perspective where another species is telling Humanity that they're gonna need their help three thousand years from now and We have to sort of For ourselves Think about this and Associate a lifespan to the aliens may be Three thousand plus years because they've seen What's gonna happen and they need our help or? They're leapfrogging each other five hundred years at a time thousand years at a time a hundred years at a time, right? We don't know. We don't know maybe you know, I'm not sure if the movies based on a book or Or some other type of fiction, right? Maybe that's revealed in the original piece or not. Okay, I don't know but I thought this was It'd be fun to share if you've seen the movie and if you know the history of this Where the stories from and they've already resolved this for us. They've told us what this is about Please let me know. I'd like to find out and I will probably do a search on this later on Just to dig down a little bit deeper into this That's it for now. I thought this was interesting to share and I'm sorry if I've Spoiled a movie for you if you haven't seen the movie but warning was given, right? The movie still fantastic still worth the watch even knowing this. That's it for now. I'll see you guys in the next video
