Well, none of the characters in the film are from the book... What most people tend to overlook is the fact that the 2002 movie is more inspired by the book rather than being a straight adaptation of it.

Henrijk Aardbei I like to think that this movie takes place in an alternate timeline where this movie was never made (which means both our comments never existed in that timeline)

@@DivineFalcon except the Eloi and Morlocks are near 1:1. Yes, the Eloi are less childlike and more akin to first nations, but the Morlocks are, as described in the book, pale, industrious, and monsterous. Though, their strange symbiotic relationship with the Eloi is more a hunt than deep dwelling monsters providing comfort in trade for the occasional kidnapping.

@@DivineFalcon original book version of Time Machine has both posthumans from year 800000 weaker and dumber than average person

@@Werewolf_Korra it's a subliminal

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.

Only to be surprised 800,000 years later when they meet again.

in the 1800's and no one finds anything on his work not a blueprint a diary or anything cause theres no record of the building of a time machine

If time travel were actually possible. The implications of such powerful accessibility would be beyond astronomically catastrophic

@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

Indeed, but I gotta say. Why does he look so short? I've always felt he was smaller and shorter than he should be in this movie and I just checked, he is a solid six feet tall and Guy Pearce is only five foot eight.

@@ablazedguy I guess ironically he would be stealing the idea from this film, which is probably why we can be pretty sure such a show will never happen. It's neat to imagine.

@@kennymichaelalanya7134 I am not worried, when we finally ratfuck this planet and the meandering ebbs and flows consistent with history weather patterns assert themselves and our entire dominion frozen solid, the aliens from Stephen Spielberg's A.I. will locate our world and we will be immortalized as footnote fodder and alien conjecture in an extra terrestial history class. We may even become fodder for Alien Starbucks discussions on who the ANCIENT ALIENS that seeded us here were, and if we were even seeded at all, and so goes forward this universe of ours. endless question ad infinitum with few to no answers.

We also learned that someone from the 19th century with no knowledge of quantum mechanics or the theory of relativity can make a time machine.

That’s probably because VOX-114 doesn’t think time travel is possible. VOX-114 should have seen the time machine.

Funny enough this movie came out in 2002, smart phones and cloud storage werent a thing yet. It's funny how movies that deal with the future come out, and by the the time the future catches up with it in some ways (usually smaller) real life is more advanced.

they used this idea in outer limits series in the 90's , everyone has had an implant in their brain and communicates with the network until the network collapsed due to a virus

So he’s black vision? Or Jarvis

No, they would not necessarily have smart phone or cloud storage. Also nothing states that he does not have cloud storage as his functions indicate he still might we'll have. Please do not be short sighted

@@KingreX32 That's because science and technology evolve exponentially. In fact, we had numerous technologies and tools at our disposal since 1970-ies to make structures and methods of production FAR more advanced compared to what we use even today... however, because we live in capitalism, 'cost efficiency' takes priority as opposed to technical efficiency, sustainability, and problem solving (which is one of the reasons that despite having science, technology and resources to build large scale projects in a small amount of time with automation isn't actually being done, because the artificial 'monetary cost' stands in the way).

Apparently that started in 2021 with the mRNA Covid vaccines.

As a "third generation" photonic, 'he' is probably more intelligent than humans and only serves them because of unbreakable core programming. Rude and dismissive is probably as close as he can come to destroying all humans, lol

But... Aren't real librarians rude and dismissive? People tend to build their technology around social normalities which directly or indirectly dictate acceptable behaviors. Even Google and other search engines as well as most popular social media systems actively filter content and suggest streams of thought consistent with a given demographic, establishing and maintaining a sphere of relevance for each user. This avatar? Sad to say, is likely an accurate representation of where we're going. Especially with AI looming on the horizon.

Aleatha Vogel Well they had to make him compatible with New Yorkers somehow.

"Alexa whats the weather like?" *Why don't you look outside you miserable hack.* "Ahh technology, just like people now."

not to forget the sound of the sliding doors opening from the original series ;-)

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.

@@doltBmB That moon colony didn't work out so well....

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. Indeed Stephan Hawking even postulated that in a complete theory of quantum gravity there would have to be a 'causality protection postulate''. 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.

@@doltBmB Or, it'll be like Back To The Future and 2015, where we were suppose to have flying cars by then. Probably a good thing we don't have flying cars in 2023. Idiots can't drive while on the ground, imagine the chaos if you put them in the air.

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.

Curiously, the concept of a "newspad" is about 50 years old, and was first shown in Stanley Kubrik's "2001: A space odyssey" …. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7phiKqX0sWzfYE.html

It’s transparent aluminum.

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.

Yup came from the future to say this is true

What the name of song i can't find?

sadly it doesn't exist.... it was meant to be a joke how Andrew Loyd Webber would make a musical about a time machine

Forward time travel is also known as *waiting.* Time dilation is just _advanced_ waiting.

maybe in 15 years

Isn't it real? Really? It's awesome despite of I only listen 8 seconds. I come here to find the that song ;(.

You'd be dead lol not 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.

George Washington Just an artist... *ironic?

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.

You wrote this comment 4 years ago, so 20 years and counting.. It's been a great run so far!

I wondered about that myself and then realized.... The year was 1903 when he left his own time. Everyone thought Alex had disappeared, and since he was never seen or heard from again, he was probably declared dead. Therefore 1903 was the year of his death. The only way he could have changed that was to go back to his own time and live out his life. If he had decided to use the time machine again later and not return to his own time, say in 1910, then that year would be his official year of death.
