Topic	I literally cannot make Tenet make sense in my mind SPOILERS
Forceful_Dragon 12/17/20 12:38:32 PM #16:	Lightning Strikes posted... Regarding the bullet: We move forwards from time point A to time point B. The bullet moves forwards from time point B to time point A. At time point B, the bullet is fired and moves forwards towards time towards time point A, which for us looks like it is moving backwards when in reality it is moving forwards in the opposite direction in time. It helps me to assign agency to the gun. The gun itself is moving backwards through time. It was inverted at some point in the future and it will continue on its backwards trajectory unless it is at some point taken through another turnstile. As far as the gun knows it's doing everything correctly and forwards. At various times three gun gets picked up by non inverted people who appear to the gun to be moving strangely, but when it's trigger is pulled it behaves as intended and fires a bullet in the direction it was pointed. But the gun's relative reality is entirely consistent. Now the sad thing is that the gun could end up continuing to go backwards in time forever because it could reach a point before the turnstiles existed and them how could it be reverted? I get a bit fuzzy on how, if at all this is addressed. With people they explain that you will see yourself exiting/entering from the other direction when you are going in but for an inanimate object that gets left behind or discarded what is the deal? Personally I would imagine that it just keeps going backwards and you could eventually have a cave man stumble upon the iPhone that you dropped but even that is difficult to wrap my head around. Modern person A inverts in 2020, while inverted they visit a cave that has been empty since cave man times. Modern person A leaves phone in cave then goes and reverts themself. Phone sits on floor in the cave until it reaches 3000 BC and gets discovered by Cave man B? But how can that work? We know the phone must never get picked up or moved from its position at that point because we know that from the phones perspective it was motionless for 5000 years. Or is it a situation where the cave man doesn't discover the phone where modern man dropped it, but rather somewhere nearby? And cave man discovers that when he "anti-kicks" in the direction of the phone or causes it to fly towards him? And so he anti-kicks the phone around the cave for a bit until it eventually rests where modern man left it? And from the phones perspective it spent 5000 years motionless, then it got kicked around for a bit and then spent more time in the location where the cave man found it, though from the phones perspective that's where the cave man "left" it when it was done kicking it about. . These are the thoughts I had when I saw the movie earlier this year. --- ~C~ FD https://imgur.com/dGDfxaw <cite>Forceful_Dragon posted [p:948445127] in I literall...
