The circularity of time in ONEUS' Rewind: a badly explained scientific thread on the intersections between past and future because I'm again and also I miss Seoho
#ONEUS #원어스 @official_ONEUS

In order to prove my point (read this as: be a proper ), I need to start throwing my unrequired scientific knowledge, starting by messily explaining what is a light cone in a Minkowski space.

To keep this simple: as time and space got linked by the relativity theory, in order to be able to explain events at a velocity proximal to light speed (when the relativity effects are important), they invented a new description which is the Minkowski space.

It is in fact a 4 dimension space and you can think of it as the sum of 3 dimensions of space + 1 dimension of time= now we are representing reality by using another system and we need a method to describe points (called events) which have precise coordinates in space and time

To be able to describe it, without getting into details, every event generates a light cone (see pic) which indicates the portion of time and space which can have a link to the event seen by the observer.

Why is it called a light cone? Because the time connection between 2 events can only occur if the distance (measured in speed) is equal or inferior to the speed of light which is the maximum speed possible. The events outside the cone will have no correlation to the main event.

If you got lost there, just remember: the main rule here is that you can't exceed light speed, the rest is mathematics.

Ok but why am I talking strange cones out of nowhere? Well, as you can see, the time arrow is still a straight line, as it has always been. After today comes tomorrow and yesterday is before today. Our time is linear, I can't go to sleep now and wake up yesterday.

If time was a circle, you would actually do it. What is past and what is future would be determined by in which point of the circle our present would be at.
Let's complicate this: imagine time as a Möbius strip.

Ok wait I'm not skipping the useless explanation here. A Möbius strip is a surface (2 dimensions) which only has 1 side. What's the matter here? You won't find yourself at the same starting point (but at the other side, a mirrored (AGAIN MIRROR) position) after 1 complete turn

If time had this structure we would have no clear past nor future and all of it would be twisting, depending on which part of the strip we are on at the moment but also, remember, this structure has only 1 side, see the contraddiction here? Time is in complete chaos.

It would look like this:

Let's complicate this even further with no apparent reason (actually my reason is, yet again, clowning myself into believing Rewind spoiling ONEUS in suits cb, it's 1AM,with me) what would happen if we try to rewind time?

As Hwanwoong sets the time to flow backwards, only now we see the suits as flashbacks from the past (in a linear time, it is the future, but time is reversed now).
Also notice the reversed lines placement, it's almost as if there are interferences in how time flows, but why?

As Seoho reversed the already reversed flow of time, the situation is back to the same chaotic Möbius loop with no suit scenes

It happens AGAIN

And AGAIN

Up until the second clock where the situation gets completely random, the reversed/mirrored lines (those which make time flow in the reverse way) get countered by the non-reversed lines and the time flow is completely out of control, did they just break time?

Will we ever know when they are located in time?
No, we can just say that those outfits resemble the first trilogy, except for the suit one.
Was it the first?
Maybe we already saw their next comeback and we will wake up yesterday
