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!

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.

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.

Who Really Killed Han? (Fast and the Furious)
Everyone loves the Fast and the Furious movies or at least the first five movies, since the series sort of got old after Fast Five, I have watched the entire series except for Fast & Furious 6 which I have read the Wikipedia storyline. Before anyone starts yelling about skipping the Fast & Furious 6, in my defense the movie trailers for the movie really turned off my desire to actually pay to watch the movie, and the review I got from my friends didn't shine any light on the movie either, so I decided to not watch the sixth installment. Feel free to complain. This isn't actually the point of the post, the actual point of the post is that apparently both Ian Shaw and Takashi/DK killed Han, which in my mind is completely insane.
In Tokyo Drift Han was killed in a car accident while running away from Takashi who was firing a loaded gun at him, and in Fast & Furious 6 Ian Shaw killed Han, which creates a huge amount of confusion. It is nearly impossible for both people to kill Han so someone has falsely claimed to have killed Han, In Fast & Furious 6 Dominic gets word that Han was killed by Ian Shaw, but in Tokyo Drift Takashi forces Han's car (Han was in the car) to get rear-ended by another car, which flips over and explodes. Takashi may have indirectly killed Han but can still be considered the killer if the issue is taken to the court of law. With this evidence alone we can conclude that Takashi killed Han without any other fact required, but Ian Shaw may still have had a hand in the murder of Han.

Takashi may have indirectly killed Han but can still be considered the killer if the issue is taken to the court of law. With this evidence alone we can conclude that Takashi killed Han without any other fact required, but Ian Shaw may still have had a hand in the murder of Han.
The reason why Takashi attempted to kill Han is because he was told by his uncle that Han had been stealing money from his business for years, Takashi claimed that if it was true than it must be a very small amount that can't even scratch the finances of the business, but his uncle pushes him and says that he has been stealing large sums of money. This leads to an undesirable rage that can only be quenched with blood, which turns into a high speed car chase, and Han's death. In the movie Tokyo Drift Takashi's uncle is a member of the Yakuza, which is a huge Japanese criminal empire that has an uncanny reputation for being your worst nightmare. Since Ian Shaw seems to be a very well connected criminal with a huge intelligence he probably has probably developed a relationship with a few members of the Yakuza, he could of learned that Han was currently living in Tokyo and called in a favor with Takashi's uncle who then could manipulate Takashi to kill Han. This is actually a very common and deceive way to kill your enemy and has been used many times throughout history. If this technique was used than it would be true that Takashi killed Han, and that Ian Shaw is also responsible for the death of Han. I hope you enjoyed this theory because I did since it is a nice change from the Attack on Titan theories that I have been making.
