After Watching the movie Lucy in theaters I realized a recurring pattern in the movie industry, we all know that the science in movies are false, but actually the idea that the science in the movie originated from is true. In the recently made movie "Lucy" they explained that the universe cannot be measured in a human measurement because the universe can only be measured by time, and not by any other form of human measurement. This small scientific idea in the movie is actual the theory of Universal Time, that the universe has a clock. The counter theory expresses the idea that time does not exist in the universe and is only an illusion, that "time" is actually the movements of mater and cannot be measured by time. This is the small amount of non-fictional science that the movie expresses minus that the drug in the movie is actually some sort of super methamphetamine (Speed) that is hilariously addictive. This is only one example of actual science in movies, the movie "Inception" also expresses a surprising amount of actual scientific knowledge. In the movie Inception mankind has created machines that allow people to infiltrate other peoples dreams to extract information, the machines themselves are not real but the base scientific fact/idea is the dream state. The dream state in the movie is 100% true and is called lucid dreaming, when you are dreaming and you realize that you are dreaming (which is very rare), you gain the ability to manipulate and control your dream instead of your subconscious.
All science in movies no matter the genre are based/originated from actual scientific facts or theories, even artificial gravity and hover cars. The hard part is trying to figure out what is true and what is false in the movie, usually most of science in sci-fi movies are false but sometimes you can notice where the ideas in the movie originated from. For example hover cars, these have been used in many movies over the years and are possible to make without burning the ground, this sci-fi idea may have come from magnets and how magnets work. You just have to notice the science in the movie and find the connection to today's knowledge, its easier to do in some movies than in others. I hope you enjoyed this weeks post, the second official Virgin Thought and I hope you will read some of my other posts which you can find on the blog or the "list of posts" page!

Virgin Thoughts and The Future
First I would like to say that I am sorry for the frequency of non-theory related posts, and for the fact that I have been posting a fair bit about the blog itself instead of something more interesting like TV. I have been having a hard time coming up with new posts that are interesting and also keep me motivated, so after spending a while thinking I came up with a new kind of post besides theories, I call the new kind of posts Virgin Thoughts! Funny name I know but the Virgin Thought posts will be post of my opinion on certain things and explaining different systems that are used in TV shows and Movies, for example the use of child soldiers in AOT or the advantages of drugging your entire human population. Virgin Thoughts will only occur when I am having problems with creating an interesting post about a theory or when I have something interesting to talk about (that you would also enjoy), I will probably be posting a Virgin Thought once or twice a month if I keep up with my post a week schedule. Also my post a week schedule will be maintained unless under certain circumstances, also since I am going back to school I will not have as much spare time on my hands so I am sorry if I miss a week due to the amount of school work I will have. I hope you enjoy the upcoming Virgin Thoughts and theories, so stay connected!
The Attack on Titan Military Recruitment System(Virgin Thought)
Welcome readers to the very first Virgin Thought post! This post will replace the weekly theory post but I will be talking about the much loved topic of Attack on Titan, well the military actually.... Anyways I will be explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the military recruitment system and will also give my thoughts on how it came to be.
In episode two Eren declared that once he is old enough he will sign up for the military and join the Scout Regiment, I estimated that Eren was thirteen years old when he joined the military and graduated at the age of 16. This means that the current military uses a large amount of child soldiers to fill the ranks, starting training at the age of 13 is a very affective way to brainwash the recruits and produce highly loyal soldiers who only know life in the military which would produce highly skilled and experienced soldiers by the age of 20. The military would be able to have a large amount of manpower and expendable soldiers for suicide missions, this encourages the use of espionage and deep territory scouting missions. The way that the graduation system is setup also generates a large amount of manpower, since the military police is based within the inner most walls and only the top ten recruits can join the military police, the recruits will be despite to join the military police and train their hardest so they can join the military police and get away from the fighting. This system lures people into joining the military and also produces highly skilled and professional soldiers in all three regiments, even at the expense of the top ten recruits. This system also produces a great amount of corruption and low moral for early recruits, unless of course they have someone like Eren in the group who motivates people and raises the morale of his fellow soldiers.
All in all this system is extremely powerful and now I shall explain how I believe this system came to be, during the early years of the wall everyone was probably trying to get away from the Titans and the outer walls due to stress and trauma, the morale would be low and the general population would be despite for an escape. The military would have introduced this system to have a large flood of man power who are willing to go through anything to join the military police, the military would have also been in shock after the world's known population went from 6.8 Billion to 1.2 Million so the military would be crippled and demanding more highly trained soldiers to make up for the lack of numbers. They would have introduced a recruitment system that recruited soldiers as children and trained them until they were at an expectable age for combat. These facts generated my theory and I also believe that the current recruitment system is actually a very vital part of humanity's survival and is also the most affective system for the small population of people. I hope you enjoyed my very first virgin thought and feel free to express your own thoughts and recommendations in the comments!

Is Cobb really dead? (Inception)
I recently watched the movie Inception for the first time which I found quiet choking since the movie was super popular and came out in 2010, I'm really not sure why I didn't watch it but that's besides the point. The end of the movie pretty much begged to be theorized so I decided that this would be the perfect movie to be theorized on my blog, I also know that there are theories already out their but I have not looked into them nor have done any extra Inception research besides watching the movie itself, so please be nice and I am sorry if I end up with the same theory as another person to the point of a near copy.
The entire plot line of the movie Inception is to plant an idea inside a major corporation owner so he will dissolve the family empire, and to do this you must access his dreams/subconscious and manipulate the target inside his own dreams. Cobb put together a team and planted the idea inside the targets head and than what happens gets a bit fuzzy, Cobb escapes limbo, clears his name, and reunites with his kids; in the final scene Cobb tested his totem to see if he is in a dream or in reality. The totem continued to spin until the scene was cut off and the credits began to role; in this theory I will mainly be focusing on the totem and not the events that happened throughout the movie. The totem is a check that is supposed to hold sentimental value with the owner and only the owner knows what the totem is supposed to do so they know if they are in a dream or in reality; Cobb's totem was a spin top that wasn't suppose to spin for a short period of time before falling. Cobb's also explained that limbo is a shared dream that acts like reality and people are usually convinced that limbo is actually reality, though the totem is the only way to see past it.
I believe that when Cobb released himself of the guilt of his dead wife that the limbo that he was in took a dramatic change, he told Ariadne that he still had to find Saito and get him out of limbo, he ended up finding Saito and they "escaped" limbo. Or at least Cobb thinks that he escaped limbo which would change what limbo looked like to what he wants it to look like, and if this fact is indeed correct than Cobb either died during the inception, or he died before the inception even began and created the entire event. The second option would explain why the totem worked when ever he wanted it to since he is the only one who knows the totem and the way it works, if limbo was built around his subconscious than the totem would have no effect what so ever. Either way Cobb is in limbo without knowing and is more than likely dead, I hope you enjoyed this theory of such an old film and also please tell me what you think about the ending of Inception.

The Future of A Virgin Theory
These last couple of months have been fun and I have had some time to think about the blog and the direction that I want it to go in and have come to one conclusion, this blog has a very miss leading name! When I looked up the blog on Google I found out what Virgin Theory is, hilarious but my blog does not follow the proper definition of virgin theory at all, but who cares its a hilarious name. But back to the point, after some thinking I have decided that I want my blog to be a blog about TV shows and movies, a blog that anyone can comment on and make fun of. I will try to post once a week minus special occasions and I hope that you the readers will help me develop the blog and become what you want! Also the Attack on Titan fact database that I have been developing has been put on hold for a few months because I want to cover different movies and TV shows besides Attack on Titan, but since I always go back to old topics I will still cover Attack on Titan and other TV shows. Now to some more pressing issues, I am sorry that the posts have not been very visually engaging but currently I am working on a couple of animation videos and trying to enjoy my summer, also I seem to write my posts between 1AM and 3AM which is not the best time to write theories about TV shows and movies. I hope this blog can be what you want it to be and I also hope you can give me some feedback about the blog, one last thing Happy Summer and Good Morning!

Is Neo Dead? (The Matrix Trilogy)
Recently I watched the Matrix trilogy and after watching the final scenes of the final installment I was left with one question, is Neo dead? The movie did not clearly state if he is dead or not and when I consulted the internet I was given nothing but theories, from normal logical theories to theories explaining that Neo is Jesus Christ (I am not joking); so I decided to give my two cents worth and write a blog post that covers this question. Throughout the final movie they kept on talking about how Agent Smith and Neo are an unbalanced equation and Smith is trying to balance it by multiplying himself, also after Smith "copied" himself into Neo, Neo erupted into a ball of blue light, fought back and destroyed Agent Smith. These are pretty much the two main facts that we need to consider, and with these facts I was able to come to the conclusion that Neo is actually dead.
If Agent Smith and Neo are an unbalanced equation that is trying to rebalance itself than if one side of the equation is changed the same thing happens with the other side of the equation, thus giving us the idea that if Agent Smith were to die than so would Neo. Some people may disagree because Smith was multiplying but Neo was not, this is because the change in the equation is different than what you would expect, Agent Smith was multiplying himself so he can become more powerful. Every time Smith multiplied Neo became stronger, there are multiple examples of this throughout the trilogy, though a big factor is the strength difference between Neo's encounters with Agent Smith, in every encounter both Neo and Smith were stronger than before which is an act of an equation trying to balance out by multiplying each side.
After you balance out an equation you must solve the equation, and after solving the equation you get the solution. I believe that when Agent Smith copied himself into Neo the equation final balanced out when the two sides were equal the equation started to solve itself, thus creating dramatic changes in the equation when it was being solved and creating anomalies, for example Neo and Agent smith start glowing like Christmas lights. After the equation was solved it became the solution, I am not 100% sure what it is the solution of but that's not the point, both Agent Smith and Neo were used up in the solution which took place in the Matrix and creating something else. This solution obviously did not include Agent Smith or Neo in the final result so they were probably used up in the equation and are no longer alive, thus proving that Neo is dead but is part of the solution to the equation that he was part of. I hope you like my theory and feel free to tell me what you think.
