In our class, we've been talking about several interesting topics that have left me thinking. However, we’ve just recently watched a film the referenced source code. Source code is simply defined as the 8 minutes your brain has to simply recall memories—whether it be a lifetime or of the last few moments of life before death. This topic reminds me of when people have flashbacks or have moments of déjà vu in their lives. To elaborate, when people go through déjà vu, they get the sense that whatever they’re doing or what they’re looking at has already happened before. Now, did this action happen before in a parallel universe? Or is this source code at its finest. I understand that for source code to happen, one must die. But I propose that everyone has gone through source code when they’ve gone through déjà vu because it’s like another you did the exact same thing you just did a month ago. This ties in to when we were discussing the Body Theory v the Memory Theory. In Mr. Green’s video, he depicted a body being teleported to a different planet, Mars for example, while the original copy stayed on Earth. Now, both of these people are on two different planets, but technically in a sense, they’re the same person in a different universe. At the end of the movie, Goodwin receives an email from Stevens who’s in source code. This connection between alternate realities proves to ME that source code exists because of the contact through realities/universes. Stevens, in a sense, developed another, real reality to which he could connect to Goodwin who is actually real. This crossing of realities makes me wonder, are we real? or are we living through those eight minutes?

  1. Great job of incorporating the movie and the Crash Course videos.
