The concept of Time Machines, Portals and other things

Time+Travel (TT) stories can be very interesting with astounding implications about the nature of reality.

https://www.thisisbarry.com/film/most-interesting-mechanics-of-time-travel-in-films

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronic_Argonauts#Writing_and_publication 1888

The_Time_Machine story was first published in 1895.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Machine#Plot

The first movie was impressive for its time and remains as a classic production.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Machine_(1960_film)#Plot

https://timemachine.fandom.com/wiki/The_Time_Machine_(1960_Film)

https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Time-Machine-film-1960

Of course over the decades, several Time+Travel+movies and TV productions have been released.

https://fandomwire.com/insanely-well-executed-time-travel-movies-where-everything-goes-wrong

Donnie+Darko is either another interesting time-travel and portal story, or it's about the protagonist going into another timeline to meet his ending. While several people remember him, others don't know much, or anything about him, by the end of the movie.

https://theconversation.com/can-we-time-travel-a-theoretical-physicist-provides-some-answers-182634

A decade later in the movie Source+Code, Jake_Gyllenhaal again as the protagonist. His consciousness is eventually fully shifted over into an alternate world (in the local and cosmic simulation) where he survives, fully intact. The portal link into a parallel or alternate world is through a supercomputer, or a quantum computer.

https://borg.com/2011/08/27/on-video-source-code-more-than-meets-the-eye 


https://timetravelnexus.com/popcorn-paradoxes-the-philosophy-of-time-travel "During many of the visions with Frank when we see images of Donnie’s eyes, we also see computer code scrolling over the imagery.  The most likely explanation for this (in the context of the movie) is that the movie takes place within a simulated reality."

The Donnie Darko Rabbit Portal

There really is a fascinating connection between Donnie+Darko and Source_Code. Both stories/movies are about the protagonist being in alternate realities.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

 Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind made almost 16 times what it cost to make, so it was quite a very successful movie as well as being such an entertaining Sci-Fi story. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075860

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind#Plot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind#Filming

In CE of  the 3rd K, its not indicated if their ship is simply from another part of the universe or from another dimensional plane of existence. While at the end of Indiana_Jones_and_the_Kingdom_of_the_Crystal_Skull, the ET beings open a portal into another dimension and vanish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Kingdom_of_the_Crystal_Skull#Plot

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882

Of course the ET Hypothesis has become a common theme in several movies.

The Digital Labyrinth (TDL)

TDL is an intersection between news and entertainment, mythology and technology...

Its about referencing books, music, movies and occasionally B$ in general.

Anything from urban_legends to science & fiction, to high-tech urban culture, is referenced.


A lot things are just randomly referenced, but if this world is part of a cosmic creation or a simulation, how much of anything is random?

Occasionally, a placeholder post will be made so that eventually there will be some added pertinent links.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Engine 1726 
https://computerhistory.org/blog/gullivers-engine , 
https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?entryid=2334 

This blog is a portal into referencing popular_culture and various POVs on Architecture, A.I., Cyberpunk, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine, Music, Quantum+Computers, Urban Issues & other technologies expressed through science & fiction. There is some occasional referenced content with mature themes. Such as some sarcasm and toilet humor...

Of course exploring The+Simulation+Hypothesis is one of the main themes, as well as pondering The+Nature+Of+Reality, in general. There is also an occasional metaphysical angle at TDL.

In late 1966 there was Shore_Leave_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series) and then there was WestWorld_(1973 film). Name your adventure scenario...

Unless otherwise indicated, this referencing blog is of a non commercial nature. 

Millions of people have written billions of words posted on various websites and blogs. Why try to rewrite or copy what they have already done? Thus, as a referencing blog, readers here are constantly provided with links to many sources from various perspectives. This blog has a lot of movie and TV spoilers. 

Some posts might remain in draft mode for several weeks or months until a certain amount of info is gathered. While other posts might start out with just one or few links with some more things to be added later on.

The hypertext is quite an interesting concept & invention & is used extensively here. This multi-branch reference blog provides many links to other websites, especially specific web pages so that readers can find pertinent links. The search_engine keeps evolving & searchenginewatch.com is a good site to get lots of info. The website, cnet.com is one of the best technology sites around.

Wikipedia.org is referenced here quite a lot for general purposes. Whether its the Star_Wars universe or the Star_Trek universe, all referenced links here are intended to direct readers to the various proprietors of websites for a more in depth perspective. Technovelgy.com is one of the best websites showing transitions from sci-fi concepts to technological reality. And cyberpunkreview.com is sublime for its observations & presentations. http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/cyberpunk-movies-by-decade

Characters in books, movies & TV series like The Observer, can motivate some people to think about the concept of time travel or a parallel_universe.

{An idea is a form (such as a thought) formed by consciousness (including mind) through the process of ideation. Human capability to contemplate ideas is associated with the ability of reasoning, self-reflection, and of the ability to acquire and apply intellect, intuition, inspiration, etc.. Further, ideas give rise to actual concepts, or mind generalizations, which are the basis for any kind of knowledge whether science or philosophy or impulsiveness.}

Idea: John_Locke
{In striking contrast to Plato’s use of idea [3] is that of John Locke in his masterpiece An Essay Concerning Human Understanding in the Introduction where he defines idea as "It being that term which, I think, serves best to stand for whatsoever is the object of the understanding when a man thinks, I have used it to express whatever is meant by phantasm, notion, species, or whatever it is which the mind can be employed about in thinking ; and I could not avoid frequently using it." He said he regarded the book necessary to examine our own abilities and see what objects our understandings were, or were not, fitted to deal with. In his philosophy other outstanding figures followed in his footsteps - Hume and Kant in the 18th century, Arthur Schopenhauer in the 19th century, and Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Karl Popper in the 20th century. Locke always believed in good sense - not pushing things to extremes and on taking fully into account the plain facts of the matter. He considered his common sense ideas "good-tempered, moderate, and down-to-earth."} http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/John_Locke, http://abc.go.com/shows/lost/timeline

Technology can be used to reveal codes & clues about reality, but it can also suppress things.
So unless people really want to question reality & study various perspectives, many things remain hidden or lost. http://www.thelostsymbol.com/main.html

“Learners may study either history or physics, or perhaps only Renaissance history and astrophysics. People tend to become experts in highly specialized fields, learning more and more about less and less.”James Burke

"When the soldiers of the future want to communicate, they’ll read each other’s minds."
No matter how advanced technology can get, I'm still amazed that the concept of the crystal ball can be traced back to ancient times. Its not like they got the idea from watching TV. Then again, how did primitive folks even think of a talking flat screen technologies, otherwise known as a magic mirror? Its like they were tapping into a psychic Internet. Of course, how can anyone ever prove that there could be a Cosmic Internet?
Given enough time, humanity could build a galactic size & eventually a Cosmic Internet.

Yet, the crystal ball, the talking mirror along with psychic perception, might very well be indicative that an ancient Cosmic Internet already exists. Indeed, the universe could be running like a vast cosmic program. Jim Elvidge has produced quite a fascinating book, www.theuniversesolved.com and website about the nature of reality.
So many people already believe that the universe is the result of a powerful Force or creator. Science is beginning to recognize the level of organized complexity that is binding various things together on several levels. Eventually quantum computers could run extremely detailed life simulation programs. However, thousands of years before the concept of the supercomputer was the cosmic Akashic_records, reincarnation & The_Wheel_of_Life.html, but according to some we aren't suppose to think of the universe as being like a vast hard drive of space & time. Well even as a Metaphor or Analogy a lot of clues are revealed.

Of course, some of the answers remain indefinitely elusive.
