    The key to all of this is at 4:30. It’s when the inverted sator communicates the piece of the algorithm will be in the SABB at the Freeport (in the future on the red time line). This is how sator captured the piece of the algorithm (traved back in time and communicated where it would be in the future). Watching the movie, sators audio is backwards at the beginning of the chase. They never tell you what he says in the movie because it would spoil the scene that was about to play out. I had my suspicions about that backwards audio and now it’s confirmed. Thanks.

They try to throw a misdirect by making it sound like things are scripted by fate to always happen. Yet, we see sator on multiple occasions going back and redoing the reversed actions different.
      First time, he goes and checks the BMW. We'll call that universe A.

      That's because most of these morons who think they know everything, have everything backwards. Which is funny considering the theme of the movie. The premise of the movie isn't all that hard. What makes it hard is the fact that it's a movie. The science isn't 100% accurate. There are thought up aspects to it. In reality if one were able to reverse entropy, the charge and parity would also reverse, making it full-blown antimatter.

    • @Mio248
      @Mio248 Před měsícem

      No, that chase scene is just the affect of the mechanics of the world of inversion. From Sator's perspective, TP and Neil (or the BMW) was chasing them. They tried turning around a couple of times to head towards the inverted protagonist, but Neil kept (indirectly) blocking them. So Sator had to gain some distance between the BMW in order to turn around and go to where he planned on going.
      He did put on a show for the past Protagonist (the normal one at 3:49) threatening Kat to see if he would give him the algorithm.

    • @brianfoss571
      @brianfoss571 Před 16 dny

      ​@Mio248 Inverted Sator didn't actually try to turn around right away. He needed to put plenty of distance between forward Neil / TP so they wouldn't see him come from the wrecked Saab and suspect anything later. To OP's point, driving away from the BMW and swerving inverted looks like a chase in forward time. Inverted Sator knew he needed to do something dramatic to pressure TP to give up the case. So he worked backwards from seeing 241 land in the Saab while reverse handing-off the empty case, flipping the Saab with inverted TP, counting up from 3 while pretending to shoot Kat, and swerving to create a fake chase setup so forward TP doesn't think inverted and throws the 241 into a Saab that suddenly un-flips - deux ex-machina - in forward time.

    I keep wondering how inverted Sator and TP could communicate with each other. The answer would always always have to precede the question. But then there is no reason to ask a question, which means that there is no answer. It is one of the paradoxes of time travel

    • @theprogram863
      @theprogram863 Před rokem +49

      Sator is experienced enough with this stuff that he knows how to game the system. Like, he has a voice reverse app on his phone so TP can understand him. He shoots Kat, then counts "1...2...3..." knowing that TP would take it as a threat (he did this in the car chase, too). They're empty threats because he has to shoot Kat or not, _before_ he knows if TP complied, and only then he counts upward and actually makes the threat. When TP gives an answer, he knows that he needs to ask the question that would produce that answer. Sator makes several mistakes under time pressure, but he does more or less know the rules.
      In this case, the really big mistake is that forward Sator assumed he wouldn't have entered the turnstile if he didn't have the answers he needed. Hence why he believed TP about the 241 being in the Mercedes. Then the Tenet combat team showed up and Sator had to rush into the turnstile and invert. His second mistake was that he still believed TP because he'd forgotten _why_ he believed TP, and didn't think to signal himself that he'd only inverted because the interrogation was interrupted. He was too intent on playing his part and getting out of there so he could grab the 241. It's an understandable mistake and didn't matter because while he didn't retrieve the 241 on the second pass, he figured out where it was so he could send his men to grab it on a third pass.

      @@klecal True, and it's a great idea, but there are complications. First, we know (and Tenet knows) Sator was in the car chase after he left the turnstile. What happened, happened. Either there was no attempt at an ambush like you described, or they tried and failed.
      TP tried to change things via inversion and it turned out he had been part of events all along. The Algorithm was sitting in the inverted Saab the whole time, while TP was preparing to enter the turnstile. One of Sator's men went back, waited for inverted TP to reverse up to the turnstile, give the saab a cursory (unsuccessful) reverse-search, and walk backwards into the building. Then Sator's man looked more carefully and grabbed it from the back seat.
      A forward-moving TP could have searched the inverted Saab more carefully and gotten the Algorithm. But even then, he would have had to invert and drive the Saab/algorithm to the car chase so his past self could throw it into the car in the first place.

Simply remove the box and allow full interaction during the trip back in time, and Primer becomes Tenet.

      The main theory is that the damage to the mirror is inverted as it is from an inverted car, so the entropy of the damage is "pissing against the wind" as the Protagonist put it. This means that in inverted time the damage loses out to forward entropy and gradually heals. And in forward time the damage gradually appears (like the bullet holes in the Oslo freeport) until the inverted car collides with it, instantly fixing it.

      Also, in regards to the science of what your saying, I’ve always thought that the knife wound of the Protagonist happened when he flipped over in the car (window glass shattering his arm). But the wound kind of played into his past self “giving him” the knife wound (or in his inverted case, “healing him”). That’s kinda how I at least interpreted that part.

This means, in inverted time, it is trying to make the mirror more disordered (higher entropy). But it's pissing against the wind of forward time, so the theory is the damage heals some time after happening, in inverted time.

    1:49 Did Sator mess up here? He's supposed to threaten to shoot her again before she'd been reversed-shot from his perspective.

      Yeah. He knows the rules and mostly does a good job gaming the system, but it's a confusing situation and he doesn't have much time, so he slips a few times. Notice how he counts 3-2-1 before remembering to count _forwards_ to fake a threat to someone going the other way. Later, in the SUV with Kat, he remembers to count correctly and the threat is much more convincing.
      OTOH, it's weird because the gunshot was inverted. The glass (uninverted) was already broken in the past and had Kat's blood on it, and Kat (also uninverted) is wounded in the future by the same shot. Plot hole, but if you accept that it happened, it means that the shot was inevitable whichever direction you go. Also that the bullet was inverted and stuck inside Kat-- how then did it make a bullet hole in the glass? You've got a hole in the glass, and the bullet was fired from Sator's gun, and Kat was in between. If the bullet had lodged in her body, the glass wouldn't have been damaged. Assuming the bullet hole happened and you play it backwards, the gun seems to "catch" the bullet, but it can't be in Kat's body in that direction either, or else what fired that bullet in the first place?
      The movie does a great job, but trips up a bit when it tries to decide what happens when inverted and uninverted things interact with each other. Kat isn't inverted in this scene, so she should have slowly developed a gunshot wound (un-healed), and then the wound disappears when the bullet goes back into Sator's gun. That would be consistent with bullet damage in the rest of the movie, especially when TP is training and you're getting the exposition.

    • @magnuskallas
      @magnuskallas Před 10 měsíci +1

      ​@@theprogram863 Is it possible the bullet wasn't "lodged" and passed her? I can't remember exactly. My point being is that as long as the bullet stayed in the room, it could travel back to the gun. If it stayed in her body, it sure was a plot hole (not story breaking though).

    • @theprogram863
      @theprogram863 Před 10 měsíci +2

      @@magnuskallas Yes, that's the only possibility. But in that case, you have an inverted gun firing an inverted round, hitting her and the glass (neither are inverted). From an uninverted point of view, the glass was damaged in the past and repaired by the inverted gunshot. To be consistent, Kat would have developed a gunshot wound in the days/hours/minutes leading up to the scene, which then heals when inverted Sator shoots her. That would be consistent how the rest of the movie treats inverted shots against uninverted targets.
      Alternatively, Kat is fine until hit by the inverted round... but therefore the glass should have behaved the same way. The laws of physics shouldn't be able to tell the difference between a living person, a seat at an opera house, a pane of glass, and a target.

  • @mrcuttime22

    The "superpower" of inversion seems to be the surprise element: no one in normal time can figure out where you're going or trying to "ungo" or "undo." You're just passing thru, unless you step behind a bus!
    A real kicker is by going backward Sator could both escape from the present (or future) and interact with the past in a coherent manner. Boths ends of TP's interrogation came out negative for Sator, but he fell for TP's ruse.

    • @mrcuttime22
      @mrcuttime22 Před 2 lety

      After thinking about it more, at least for the three-car scenario with Kat, I don't believe it is possible for Sator to have acted sequentially while inverted to get what he wanted. This scene we see in Normal time. But for Sator, he got the case even before he threatened Kat/TP for it. Sator was NOT acting backwards here.

      An interresting thing with the forward-backward thing.
      It's a well spread hypothesis and trope than you can't change the past , because paradox ect...
      By following that logic you can't change the future outcome of interractions with inverted persons.
      Why ? for your perspective your are in the now and your action affect the present.
      But for an inverted person what you see as future is his past, and you can't change it.
      In the TB vs inverted TB, When TB try to dodge the unshooting of his inverted self, no matter what he do if he survived the "first" unshoting from his perspective he will survive all of them, because from inverted TB that shot was the last. The 3 others shots lies in inverted TB's past, not in his future, and the past can't be changed.

    Pretty much the only major flaw in the timeline of this movie that I could find was the amount of time Sator spent between causing the Protagonist to crash and returning to set his car on fire. The protagonist lost his mask in the crash, then quickly put it back on, right before being approached by Sator. But at this same time, Sator was in the Audi driving away from/ pursuing the BMW. This is by far the biggest chronological flaw in the film and it always bugged me.

      @@josephmelton4721 This theory falls flat when you consider that Kat was also there during both of these events. For this to work, Sator would have to do the exchange with the protagonist, then find a way to switch both his entropy and uninverted Kat's entropy at the same time, then once again, switch their entropies to return to the highway just as before. Why go through the trouble of taking Kat after he already got everything he needed? The reason is because he hadn't been back to the turnstile, and as soon as he returned, Kat would go back to where she was.
