    The Flash empIoys several different kinds of time travel in its story, drawing from movies like back to the Future, X-Men: days of the Future Past, Groundhog Day, Interstellar, and Avengers: Endgame. IN this video we break down exactly how it works, and what this means for the new DCU.

    #Flash #TimeTravelExplained
    We have been getting a lot of questions about time travel in the flash movie, because-well-it’s really confusing. The movie employs several different kinds of time travel to tell its story, and I’m here to explain all of them to you. [what the hell is going on?]
    And don;t forget to visit our merch store where we’ve got fun flash-sh merch like this fetch shirt, be kind don;t rewind, and “you wanna play fect? Let’s play fetch” shirts-link in the description.
    So, let’s talk about time travel. We fielded a lot of questions about time travel after avengers endgame, explaining branching timelines. And now this movie completely upends all of tht, with a scene where Michael keaton actually says, “you probably saw a movie that explained time travel as branching timeline., but that’s not right.”
    So the Flash actually does emply this kind of time travel-but it also combines different types of time travel from other movies. So we are going to explain each type of time travel that is sue din the movie, until it all makes sense.
    I want to quickly shout out the channel Minute Physics for their grat breakdown of different kinds of time travel, and new rockstars also has a gerat video breaking down different types of time travel in movies.
    Let’s start with the one we’re all most familiar with-causality theory. This is like in Back to the Fuure. If you travel back in time to your past, then you can actually change your past. and -like Marty mcFlay-erase yourself from existence. This kind of time travel is the easiest for most people to understand, because we are linear beings who perceive time as a fixed, one way motion. So if this thread represents my timeline, and someone goes back in time to kill me, then that thread is severed and I cease ot exist.
    In the Flash, we see this casualty with Other Barry. He gets a scar in the past, so a scar appears on his future self.
    Doug: Yeah, why did that happen to him, but not to the rest of the universe.
    Because-like Marty McFly-both Barrys are fulcrums in time-which I will explain in a bit.
    The next type of time travel is the branching reality, and this ois what we saw in endgame. Bruce explained it like this [changing past doens;t change your future, doens;t become new past].
    So this one still confuses people. Basically, Bruce iis saying that it is impossible for you to ever change your own timeline, because this creates a paradox. Liek, if you were to invent a time machine, and then you traveled bak in time to prevent yourself from building a time machine-you’re not actually undoing your past. You’re creating an alternate timeline where you don;t ever get to time travel.
    In the MCU, each of these branching timelines is a new universe. That also happens in the flash, but more on that in a bit.
    Doug: I still don;t get it.
    Okay, let’s say that this paper towel roll represents the flow of time. Your broth, your death, Julius caesar, megan thee stallion, all in here. And this thread represents your life. So when you travel back in time, it’s like puncuring a hole in the tube, and you’re running through that hole. You’re always still going to be you, but now that hole i time is going to branch out.
    Doug: Oh I get it. Cardboard is a very helpful tool.
    Thank you. So the next tye of time travel is when something had always happened. This is like in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban, when Harry, hermione and ron travel back in time to save their past selves lives-wich allows them to later go back in time and save their own lives. IN a way, this is like in Bill and ted’s excellent adventure, when they remind themselves to go back later and after the win, to plant the keys [clip]. Or, like how Rufus never intridcused himself-but bill and ted tell their past selves rufus’s name [clip].

      @tython055 11 місяців тому

      One method of time travel revolves around each universe in a multiverse with its own set of infinite timelines. Changing the past creates an alternate timeline that branches off from your own personal timeline. Meaning, changing things in the past doesn't affect your future and vice versa as you and the timeline you're originally from would still exist. Marvel and other franchises that follows this method are prime examples.
      Another method is similar to the first one above, except that the multiverse is one entire timeline that can have alternate timelines with one multiverse each. The Dragon Ball multiverse is a prime example of this, and this concept is very rare.
      The third method is when you change the past of your personal timeline, you change your future that can literally alter your memories or have yourself erased from existence. The DC multiverse and its Dark counterpart are primarily known for this method due to Flashpoint, Reverse Flashpoint, etc.

    The thing is, Barry 1 traveled back in time and changed his past, which caused him to be stuck in a new reality. This means that Barry 2 isn't tied to Barry 1 in terms of cause and effect, in the sense that when Barry 2 died, Barry 1 wasn't erased from the timeline.
    However, the same thing should also apply to Future Barry 2. From Future Barry 2's POV, it is implied that he tried to save Supergirl again and again for an unknown period of time before going back in time in the Chronobowl to push past Barry 1 out to put him on his path. And when he realised that Barry 1 will always go back in time to let his mom die, Future Barry 2 traveled back in time within the Chronobowl to kill Barry 1. That pretty much shows that in Future Barry 2's original timeline, while Future Barry 2 was going back in time to try and save Supergirl, Original Barry 1 went further back in time to let his mom die and suceeded in changing the timeline to one where Future Barry 2 can no longer try and save Supergirl.
    As soon as Future Barry 2 traveled back to try and kill Barry 1, and also ended up stopping Barry 2 in his tracks, Future Barry 2 should have been stuck in a new reality because Barry 2 didn't go on to try and save Supergirl like Future Barry 2 did. That means his action has changed Barry 2's future, just like what Barry 1 did when he saved his mom, and so Future Barry 2 should not have been tied to Barry 2 in terms of cause and effect. So, aside from plot reasons, why was Future Barry 2 erased from the timeline when Barry 2 died?

    • @afiqazman6615
      @afiqazman6615 11 місяців тому

      Yes! I thought the same thing too. Dark Flash (old Barry 2) would never disappear, because if Barry 2 is a fulcrum, that indirectly made Dark Flash a fulcrum too. His past would not be affected. IF the time travel is causality, (they implied it is, when Dark Flash said he pushed Flash out of chronobowl to create himself) old Barry 2 would never existed because he will always died before he aged.

      ​@@afiqazman6615It was supposed to be a time loop, where in the chronobowl, young Barry becomes the dark flash, and OG Barry travels back in time to untangle the timelines. It is dark flash that meddled inside the chronobowl to kill the flash. That wasn't meant to happen. Even if it was, then the young Barry wouldn't have tried to save Kara and Batman. In order to keep the loop intact, the Dark flash stayed inside the chronobowl, finding solutions to save Kara and Batman. So when The OG Barry comes into the timeline, he could push him again so that he could be created. He was never the fulcrum. He was the cause that affected the entire timeline because the effect of Dark flash in the past caused changes in the past and future of the new timeline Barry aka young Barry. The cause was he himself.

    What I don't understand is when Barry creates a new universe by messing with time, shouldn't there already be a Flash in the new universe he created? The universe Barry started the movie in is not the same universe Barry ended the movie in (Affleck-verse and the Clooney-verse). So shouldn't the Clooney universe already have a Flash of its own? And if Barry finished the movie in the Clooney universe, what happened to the Affleck universe's Barry? Is there a missing Barry Allen in the Affleck universe??

    A possible solution is that no one ever really travels through time, but instead travels to alternate universes where things are just a little (or a lot) different. You might think this looks like your universe in your past, but it is just another universe that looks like your past. All universes are moving at the same speed of time, but some exist as if they were the "past" of another universe. This solves all sorts of problems. You can even "change" your "past" by moving to a universe that seems like your past, "changing" something, then moving to a third universe that is like your original if the thing had been "changed".

      Buddy, that explanation of yours is no different from the Many-Worlds Interpretation, don't you agree? It literally doesn't matter if you call it time-travel or inter-universal travel. The important thing is both your explanation and the Many-Worlds Interpretation helps to prevent paradoxes that results from actions taken in the past. That's all these possible solutions are worth. And since they cannot be proven, of course no one can argue that they aren't possible solutions.

      Yea this is basically what Endgame did. And that movie name drops David Deutsch, and this is exactly how he explains it in Fabric of Reality. It’s why Hulk says you can’t change your past, because you aren’t really in your past. You’re just screwing other universes and returning to yours.

    • @FinalStigma
      @FinalStigma 11 місяців тому +1

      ​@@davesummers1369 Well, originally, the Many-Worlds Interpretation was never supposed to be used in fiction. It really was just a theory to solve the Grandfather's Paradox. As long as we can't observe any of those other-worlds, there's no way it can be proven anyway. Also, I really don't think it's a good idea to apply the rules from one story to a different story, like trying to make one single time-travel theory to explain how the multiverse in both Marvel and DC's universes work.
      Focusing on just Marvel and DC's stories for now, the biggest difference between Marvel's version of multiverse and DC's version is really simple. Originally, DC dabbled in this kind of stories because they encountered an issue where their writers were continuously ignoring story continuity, so the editors came up with a way to reboot the entire universe instead. In other words, the characters' actions wipe out and rewrote the entire continuity. This eventually became a method for them to "refresh" their characters every so often. Flashpoint, which is what this movie was based on, was just one of those universe-rebooting events.
      Marvel's version is just a simple story-telling technique that seeks to tell stories of their existing characters using alternate settings while still preserving their main continuity. For example, even when Professor X's son went back in time and accidentally killed him, which changed the entire timeline, in the Age of Apocalypse event, it was explained that what readers were reading was an alternate reality. The original 616 universe still remained the same, but because of the disturbance in time and space, the M'kraan Crystal was threatening to destroy the entire universe unless the characters can stop Professor X's son from killing him and change the timeline back to what it used to be. So, even when Marvel was telling time-travel stories that used cause and effect as a plot point and raised the stakes proportionally, it still obeyed the rules and continuity that the past writers have set for themselves.
      What I'm trying to say is each company plays by their own rules. I can see that you're trying to make a one-size-fits-all multiverse/time travel story theory that seeks to make all of these stories makes sense, but I think you're going to find yourself dealing with tons of contradictions. For example, can your solution explain why Future Barry 2 was erased from the timeline when Barry 2 substained a fatal injury if Future Barry 2 is supposed to be an alternate Barry 2? I mean, according to your solution, Future Barry 2 should have been meeting Barry 1-A and Barry 2-A instead when he traveled back in time. Or are you going to say that there's only 1 Chornobowl in the multiverse? Because if that's the case, we should be seeing multiple versions of Future Barry 2 in there since there were so many worlds where Supergirl died, with their own respective Barry 2 trying to save her.
      Edit: Sorry, thought you were the other guy replying to me.

  • @ElectricIguana
    @ElectricIguana 10 місяців тому +2

    Here's my theory. Not sure if it's described better in a different way:
    0. Everything is happenning at once.
    1. When you divert from your original timeline, that timeline continues without you and a new divergent branch is created, which you stay on, unless you time travel and deviate again.
    2. You never enter another timeline, but you do intersect with another one, at a "fulcrum point." The only difference is that it's not really a fulcrum point; rather, it's an intersection, a new branch for a different timeline. You only create a new devient branch in that timeline and the original timeline that you intersected with continues along its original path, unchanged by your intersection.
    With spaghetti, it would look like when Keaton Bruce Wayne shows the two diverging spaghettis, except the divergent spaghetti stops and reappears as a second divergent spaghetti at the time travel egress point (past or future). The time traveler is always on his own timeline. While his original timeline continues without him, his new timeline resumes at a shared nexus point from another chosen timeline. The chosen timeline is unaffected; however, a new divergent branch is formed from that chosen timeline. Time travel, in this sense, creates a bridge from one highway through another highway, to a destination that has yet to be determined.

    Great explaination of time travel theories. If you take a close look at your real lives you will see that there are crossroad moments that affect your entire future. That's why you should never have regrets if there is any one thing in your life you wouldn't change. Barry tried to change the one thing he regretted most but forgot all the things he would put in jeopardy. As Doctor Who would say, it's all just a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    acording to the science of time travel, in back to the future part 1, when marty convinved his dad to be better, it did not just effect his parents life, but also marty's life making them better and when marty returned back to 1985, he was in an alturnative future that never really happened before. so that can explain that time travel is really just the multiverse all along.

Also the phone conversation that he had with his dad the night before he time travelled would never have happened. Both the note Bruce left him and the phone call he had with his dad, both happened before Barry time travelled and both incidents would not have happened if the tomato can was on the top shelf. Hell Barry might not have been as depressed enough to go back in time to change events with such good news from Bruce. I mean Barry would've just achieved his dream.
