The Terminator and the multiverse theory
Iâm going to assume, after 42 years and at least 5 Hollywood movies in the franchise, that most people are familiar with the basic plot of The Terminator and that Iâm not spoiling anything for anyone by revealing that Arnold Schwarzeneggerâs âcharacterâ is a time-traveling cyborg that returns from the future to kill Sarah Conner before she gives birth to her son, John Conner.
The reason is that John Conner will grow up to be the leader of the Resistance in a post-apocalyptic world where Artificial Intelligence has undertaken the extermination of humans. That AI system (Skynet) has identified that with John Conner leading the fight, the humans have already won the future war, but that if he were never to have been born, the humans would instead, lose the fight for survival.
If you and your mom were planning to celebrate Motherâs Day by watching Terminator together for the first time in your lives this afternoon, Iâm sorry to spoil it for you.
Even if you have never seen seen the Terminator movie (or set of movies), similar themes have been explored in Back to the Future (3 films), Star Trek (every TV series in the franchise, and 2 or 3 films), and Men in Black 3, among countless other movies, series, comic books and novels. In fact, as a wee lad in Norfolk Virginia in the 1960s, I had a Superman comic book (sorryâŠgraphic novel) in which he flew around the world â backwards â at more than the speed of light in order to travel back in time and prevent the death of Lois Lane.
What Iâm saying is that the multiverse, for all its complexity in the real-world fields of quantum mechanics, cosmology, and theoretical physics, is well understood as a general concept thanks to its use as a plot device in popular fiction for at least 6 decades.

Laremy Tunsil's absence would significantly affect the offensive line, leading to increased pressure on the quarterback and a less effective running game.

Terry McLaurin is vital for the Commanders as their top receiver, and losing him would diminish their passing attack and overall offensive effectiveness.
