@@Dex11421speed is another thing that's theorized to influence time, in fact according to relativity the closer you get to light speed the slower you move through time. The most common way to explain it is with twins, send one to space on a 5 year voyage at roughly %10 light speed at the end of that 5 years he turns around and comes back at the same speed. Our astronaut experiences 10 years while Earth experiences nearly a century. If by some miracle you achieved light speed time dilates to an absolute stand still, we say it takes 8hrs for light to leave the surface of the sun and reach the earth but for the Photon it left the sun and reached the earth in the same instant, the Photon moves so quickly it doesn't experience time, but to outside observers multiple hours passed before that Photon completed it's journey
For those that don’t know this movie is basically entirely based around the old “theory” that humans only use 10% of our brains and never use 100% of it. Basically this movie is an off the wall adaptation of “if humans used 100% of our brains” and effectively she just becomes god. She can shapeshift and alter reality basically as she sees fit
@RoseluckSerendipity For this movie might need a different idea of god. From our perspective the abilities are definitely godly. But the logic of things going on in the movie would be too confusing otherwise.
@@thewishingpig I’m actually discussing the semantics. The pedantics are much deeper than one could know . If only I too could achieve 100% brain usage. /s
@@user-nl9gs2sq5ttechnically a myth can be a "meme". The word means "a thought or idea that evolves through social interaction" suggesting thoughts could undergo evolution. The original statement "we only use 10% of our brains" evolved through interactions to explain what a higher percentage could mean. Thus by definition it is a meme.
Time is dependent on space... space is infuenced by gravity and any other form "field"... we can also define space as where there is matter is space... As such we can say that space is the fundemental layer where energy manifests if the space isn't strong enough you can't manifest more power... That's why gravity is limited and why blackholes don't just destroy the univers
But she is not saying that, time is the unit of mesaure of life and existance, bcuz that's what's define life, the car example is too show that if you cancel out time (infinite time speed scenario) you don't exists, cuz the literally concept of existance is based on time perception
I don't really understand the need to be condescending. 😅 It isn't like the movie is saying they are anything close to sciences. I watched this so long ago I barely remember but what I do remember is that I really loved this movie Isn't entertainment the most important in a movie that isn't a documentary or some life lesson?
they're only having a laugh because the term "humans only use 10% of their brain" comes from a misunderstanding of William James and Boris Sidis research that proves the human brain only allows 10% to be used of the entire brain to maintain productivity
Space, time, there's a complexity that means both of them are roughly the same thing. That's what physics tells us. Gravity is an action of time dilation. Gravity and time are two sides of the same coin. A photon has no mass, no gravity, and has zero time! The fact that it travels through space means that the speed of light is equal to time=0.
@@gj4312yeah this movie has a GROSS misunderstanding of quantum physics and the mechanics that govern reality. In fact this scene basically spits in the face of Einstein's theory of general relativity. It's a fun movie but the science is complete nonsense babble
@@ashutoshkaushal4308true. For example we have a measurement of 1 hour, every human have a different time understanding. How can we be sure that this standard measurement is right? For children 1 hour takes forever, for adults its like some minutes.
@@nerostile333except for the fast that time that governs the universe is not subjective. An hour remains the 60 minutes, 3600 seconds no matter how long it feels.
@frostbitten2598 The point is that it only "feels" like a second or however length of time, because we put a value or meaning to that time. My subjective minute is not the same as your internal clocks minute. My red is not the red your eyes process as mine. We only agree that it's "red" so we have a common understanding and a way of communicating. Without giving meaning, it's just, "a length of time" or "a color,". But we only agree that 1 second IS 1 second because we agree that 1 second is a caesium 133 atom vibrating at frequency ∆v. That bit goes a bit beyond me after just waking up at 5am. But my point is, 1 "second" is only non-arbitrary because we all agree to follow one definition for that length of time. If we wanted to, we could have called "1 second of time" the amount of time it takes for the moon to orbit the earth.
@@frostbitten2598 Also, just a super simple way to refute your claim of 'time is universally constant' is to just look at the very surface-level understanding of black holes that is pretty dang common in today's pop culture: someone's hour near a black hole is NOT the same as an outside observers hour.
The scientific advisor on this film basically walked out on the first day. Pretty much every concept in this film is like someone watched the ancient aliens version of a scientific principle and decided it was too creditable so they needed to punch it up about 10 more notches.
It was never meant to mirror truth. It's a MOVIE. a MOVIE dude. And guess what? We don't know everything. We are stuck on earth and what's in its orbit. So just enjoy a freaking movie. I loved this movie.
@justinhadasch All those other movies knew their premise was fictitious. This movie's premise was just horseshit. Your argument throws out Lord of the Rings into the same dumpster we're putting Lucy in. Let's not do that.
@@dearleader7623 I felt like the premise of the movie was pretty clear. Yes, people are stupid and thought at release, that the whole brain % usage is real which is hilarious imho. The movie simply explored a reality where a person was able to fully control every single cell of her body and rearrange them. Its a fact that some people are able to do more with their brain than others. Some have perfect memory, others are able to play piano without learning etc. The movie is basically a highly overexxagerated imagination of what the human brain is capable of which is an intriguing concept since we know very little about how our brain even works So yea, its obviously a scifi/thriller not a documentary

@@sharkfinnigan Engineer here, and someone really interested in philosophy and epistemology. I think the only thing worse than the movie is the majority of comments on this short... Kinda makes you lose a bit of hope in humanity. 😫 You comments are a beacon of hope so thank you!
@@21area21The movie is bad, but I think it suffers most from translation (from idea to movie script). The idea that time is the only unit of measure that means anything could sorta make sense if you are talking about the human experience. It's a soft sci-fi idea pretending to be hard sci-fi. Also, it's a sci-fi movie with Morgan Freeman. I've never seen one of those that didn't end up with too many info dumping monologs.
Actually as a physics major (assuming study means majored or even higher) you should enjoy the movie more for the comedy. If not, then you haven’t gotten to the point of studying it for a living but regurgitating instead. A cool concept you can see here is Schrödinger’s cat example. A particle can be at any point until observed, although some outcomes are more likely.
It’s as much a philosophical statement as a tangential one. It comes down to the fact that numbers in themselves are relative(but stable enough) concepts created by humanity to make sense of observations. The fact that time flows differently depending on the planet you are, one is enough proof. As an hour here on earth is far different from Mars.
Let us be honest. The reason we watch the movie is because it's fun, it has Morgan Freeman on it, and you know who our favorite Russian assassin is! 😍🥰
For an amazing contrast in themes, watch this movie alongside Transcendence. They both have a very similar premise but go in wildly different directions because they have very different beliefs about knowledge and science. Transcendence seems to want to be the more intelligent movie, yet it is deeply pessimistic about scientific progress and only sees intelligence as a way of leading us to our own destruction. The heroes of the movie are the anti-technology luddite terrorists because in the end they were right to fear what science is capable of. Lucy, on the other hand, despite not taking itself seriously at all, is significantly more optimistic. It sees knowledge as at worst neutral and at best a way of progressing mankind to new heights. It recognizes that it is not technology which destroys us but people who wish to use that technology for their own selfish ends. As someone who enjoys analyzing the ways science is framed in media Lucy is one of my favorites in this regard, second only to Ghostbusters.
I can understand the appreciation that it takes an optimistic look at science potentiality but it's obscene levels of inaccuracy in the fundamentals of what science is and aims to do seems to really just feed the pseudoscientific perspective of science. Even in this clip stating that somehow science transcends math as though it were a social construct is not scientific at all. It's optimism is grounded in nothing
😂 it's like "shit, I don't think there's a computer big enough to handle ALL the knowledge of everything from this USB drive" "Maybe there's directions on how to build one, on that USB stick" "Well, shit"
I wouldn't say comically large as a lot of things that hold information, was once large, and getting physically smaller. I remeber something called the floppy disk that was around 10x10cm square and it only held a few MB. There was the first USB stick that could hold a few GB Now we have micro SD cards thats less than a centimetre and can hold many hundreds GB. And portable hard-drives that hold TB. I wound't be surprised if she simply handed then a really advance version of the USB stick with really compressed Zip files.
@DarkThunderism Truth. In fact, I'm quite sure NO neurologist EVER thought this... like most of the false "claims" of science that society clings to (I.e. '8 glasses of water a day', '5 stage of grief', etc), it was just misreported by someone summarizing the research, then that gets ingrained into the publics consciousness.

I know this movie plays around with the whole “untapped brain potential” trope but it was fun and interesting. And thats why it’s science fiction, not science fact.

Imagine your very thoughts manifesting in real time just as you think of it. Good, bad, etc. Time slows that down. It allows you to do it in a sequence instead of all at once. Time is a gift. When you understand it. You can use it to your advantage.
God it must be nice to be tripping balls on acid while sitting in a physics class. Right up until the professor brings up Newton. Then the illusion is broken.
I love hearing them talk to each other even though it’s not a marvel movie their voices just pair so well together it makes it seem so serious and important
To the people mentioning “this movie is about a theory that we only use 10% of our brains” I challenge you to find that theory. It doesn’t exist. It’s a misquotation. A neuroscientist once upon a time said “the brain is so complex that we only understand what 10% of it does” and normal everyday average people ran with omggggg we only use 10% of our brain! Not a single scientist said that- you did.
The concept of time is the main conflict between Quantum mechanics and relativity. Time is not fundamentally real. Humans created the concept of time. Time has no start and finish. We defined what makes a minute, how many are in an hour. How many hours make a day and days make a year. Just like we created calendars. This was one of my favorite subjects to learn about and in Astronomy. Edit: just to be clear, something being a human created concept doesn’t make it not fundamentally real! We created measurements for distance, but distance is real because there is a starting point and ending point that can be measured. Time has no beginning or end. Nor is it something that can physically be seen and measured by the eye. You can only measure time by what you define time is. That is why math and distance and other human created concepts are physically and fundamentally real. Time is physically real, but not fundamentally real. Hope that helps it make sense!
We didn't create distance. Distance isn't a concept. Distance is measurable. Whether we measure that Distance in inches, millimeters, miles, radians, seconds, or minutes. Time is just a way to measure a very real and observable thing, Distance. Time isn't unreasonable but can be felt like inertial forces. It is a very real and directly measurable unit.
@@ETuss713yes, absolutely, for conscious beings. go ask a star what time is it, or a galaxy how fast time goes. we only reference time because we frame it from our point of view, a singular point, or moment

Quantization is foundational in physical reality. There is quite literally a defined minimum unit. 1+1 will always equal 2, and it's meaningful in reality.
Ok. Lemme try to bullshit this tho. If you think about it there are more ways to have 1+1 not equal 2 than there are for it to equal 2. What’s the length of [0,1]+[1,0] which is, in a way, 1+1? That’s right, it’s the square root of 2. And what about adding 2 velocities together? If you think about it, adding velocities in the opposite direction is like adding 1+1. 1m/s+1m/s= 2m/s sure, but what about when the velocities are 1C? Well, that’s equal to [C-(-C)]/[1-(C*(-C)/C^2) which equals 2C/[1+(C^2/C^2)] which equals 2C/2, or just C. So boom. 1+1 does not equal 2
@@Skidzo19 yes. That’s the result that you get when you find the relative difference in velocity between two objects traveling in opposite directions at the speed of light, not my fault it works out like that blame the universe.

Yet the reality is this is ture. We can literally alter reality, quantum science proved that. We can choose how fast we perceive time by our focus levels, this has been scientifically proven. We created a scale but because of this scale we limited our comprehend of what's possible. Magic is literally real because all magic is, is the ability to alter the quantum reality with your mind. Everything is made out of frequency, vibration, & energy. Do your history research on education. The American education system was designed to literally make you less intelligent, why? To depower you & the power you have. If they make you believe magic isn't real, then they can literally destroy our connection to it for positive change. Hypnosis, psychology, & quantum entanglement means that magic is real. We a literally no different than a video game, which means there's cheat codes. Hell scientifically we have already proven that our universe has a literal correction code running in the background. Look up plasmoid unification model. The things that are possible with Plasmoid is literally Alchemy used by ancient civilizations. Plasmoid is our most advanced scientific tech & psychology is the most advanced understanding of the mind. It doesn't matter what you think you know, if you listen to 90% of these comments you're making yourself less intelligent. Musicians, story writers, game designers, & UX designers are literally some of the most powerful beings in our universe. Everyone else is nothing more than a NPC that's being used to farm power for whoever is controlling them. The more people under their control the more power they have over reality. The thing that this doesn't go over is that time is the scale that was created to limit us. There are literal cultures in our world that still thrive today that doesn't have a concept of time & doesn't even have words for time, past, future, yesterday, tomorrow, etc. Prove me wrong on all of these, I dare you. I dare you to do your research & come back here with historical facts & scientific evidence.
@@wacawaka1802 "Magic is Indistinguishable from advanced technology." Magic is the greatest understanding of the scientific principles.

There is no difference between magic & science except magic is on a much higher level of using scientific facts. Can you make nothing from thin air with science? No. But you can make nothing from thin Aether using your words. Again, which one can you do more with less? That's the more advanced one. Educate yourself.

'Reality is not objective; it's observer-dependent. It doesn't exist out there, independent of us; rather, it finds its form when we observe it.' Made me think of this. Quantum mechanics are fun.
Did you know that if you had the ability to stop time with only you moving, you wouldn't be able to see anything because the would be no light bouncing off of the objects around you
That's actually a pretty brilliant thought. If light stopped moving, there would be nothing for your eyes to interpret. The harder question is how the hell can you function if you're literally outside of time. If you're inside time when it's frozen, you too would be frozen.
You should be able to see as the light is already there to begin with it's just not moving . Buy if someone is moving in stopped time it may be impossible to see them since light isn't there to reflect off them .
What she speaks is true. Time is always, time always passes forwards, you cannot stop time but time is also relative, it goes forwards different speeds across the universe.
