Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator) ARG sneak peek: part 1.

Posted on March 4, 2008 12:19 AM |


An Alternate Reality Game (or 'ARG') revolving around the storyline of the Fox tv series Sarah Connor Chronicles (and the Terminator movie trilogy). The footage describes the development of a camera from Enitech Labs that can take pictures of a future event by capturing faster-than-light "tachyon" particles. When pictures of ordinary scenery foretell post-apocalyptic outcomes, the developers find themselves in a race against time to publicize their findings and warn the public of the horrors to come...

IANAP (physicist) but to me it seems that if these particles travel 'instantaneously,' for the events to 'outrun' the lightwaves and break the light cone by a certain amount of time, they must be correspondingly distant. So events you see three years in the 'future' would be taking place 3 light years away. Does anyone know better?

Interesting stuff. I've been watching Terminator and it's OK, though given that there's little else on Fox these days that attracts my eyeballs that's saying something. This opens up a whole ontological can of worms, with issues of destiny vs. choice. There's an obvious parallel to Schroedinger's Cat, in that an observer must be figured into any equation, a practice more recent quantum physics bears out. One question danced around on the show is whether one can avoid or encourage a certain result in an essentially open (though actually closed) set of factors without a full comprehension of how all factors interrelate; actions which may seem to be contrary to a result may in fact set other systems in motion that actually promote said result. Given Fox's ever-shifting politics I wonder whether there's a parallel we're meant to draw to the current domestic and international scene. Something to eyeball on all fronts, at any rate.

Richard, please don't do that. It looks like spam.
