What is the difference between the two timelines?

Icon description: black line: timeline, blue line, red line: crossing line (blue line refers to crossing with a hostile stance to humans, red line refers to crossing with the same stance as humans) Important note: All data and analysis are Only based on Terminator 1-5***5 movies and does not refer to other works of the same name. In addition, scientific principles involving dimensional theory will naturally be used in analyzing the plot. Personally organized, there are bound to be errors and omissions, please correct me. Below we will analyze the entire Terminator timeline step by step, sorting out all the plots and the scientific principles behind them. Everything is difficult at the beginning! Really, don't rush, take your time. Let’s look at the first timeline first (hereinafter referred to as line 1). Sarah Connor was born in 1965. This time is not clearly stated in the film and cannot be clearly deduced, but everyone generally agrees on this time, so there is a question mark after "1965" on the picture. Everything was normal before 1984 (we will talk about what happened in 1974 later), but in 1984 Skynet sent T-800 to travel across time to murder Sarah Connor, as shown in a. Then the timeline diverges and Line 2 appears. Then, b-time travel happened - Kyle Reese traveled through time to protect Sarah Connor. Let’s take a look, what happened on Line 1? No crossing actually took place. The crossing in 1984 was actually on Line 2. Although there was no time travel, Skynet and Judgment Day still appeared later (a question mark marks Judgment Day, but the date of this Judgment Day is unknown), and eventually humans defeated Skynet in 2029. Just when Skynet was about to be defeated, it Send T-800 back in time in an attempt to change destiny. Let me explain here, in fact, when the T-800 goes back to the past, no matter what happens, it cannot change the fact of Line 1, because once the T-800 goes back to the past, time will diverge at that moment, and everything that happens will be on the 2nd time. Online, not directly related to Line 1. It is important to know that any change in the timeline will lead to a divergence of the timeline, that is, leading the world to a different outcome. For details, see the short video of Dimension Theory provided below. What happened on Line 1 only appeared in small amounts in the first movie. There was a simple picture of the Doomsday War at the beginning of the movie, and Kyle Reese's memories were also explained in the middle part, and it did not appear elsewhere. However, Line 1 is the source of all incidents. If the journey of the Terminator is a cycle, then Line 1 is the starting point of the cycle. The law of cause and effect is the absolute law of the universe, and this Line 1 is the "cause" of all Terminator series events, occurring "before" other events. The law of cause and effect means that there is "cause" first and then "effect". Let’s look at two crossings a and b. A crossing only occurs on Line 1. It is a time-travel from the future of Line 1 to the past of Line 1. It is something that happens in five-dimensional time and space. Although it changed the timeline after the time-travel was completed, the event of time-travel was still only related to Line 1. b. The crossing takes place in six-dimensional time and space, crossing from Line 1 to Line 2.

For the theory of dimensional space, please refer to the video link. From One-Dimensional Space to Ten-Dimensional Space Why does time-traveling b not travel to the past of Line 1 like time-traveling a, or does it happen "together" with time-traveling a? First of all, a crosses from Line 1's 2029 to Line 1's 1984. If b crosses the same, then Kyle Reese crosses from Line 1's 2029 to Line 1's 1984, Line 1's 1984 What is there in the year? Nothing? ! There is no T-800 coming, everything is normal, why is Kyle Reese here? Come to steal Sarah Connor as his wife? Let me interrupt here. I just said "stealing my wife". You have to understand that Sarah Connor from Line 1 is the hero who saves mankind, and her son John Connor is also the leader of mankind, and John Connor's father is not Kyle Reese! Why? Because Line 1 did not travel before 2029, where did Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor mate and give birth? Okay, so without the guidance of "spoilers in advance" like "time travel", why can Sarah Connor still teach her son John Connor to prepare for Skynet? Because - Sarah Connor is awesome! She is far-sighted and has long anticipated that artificial intelligence will strike back at humanity. Line 1 is the "cause" of all events and can only be explained in this way. One thing, have you noticed? It doesn't matter who John Connor's father is at all. What's important is that as long as John Connor is Sarah Connor's son, it can guarantee that John Connor can get the "secrets" from his mother, and John Connor on line 1 will decisively accept it. Teaching, unlike the young John Connor in the second movie, who thought his mother was crazy at first, but didn't wake up until the arrival of the "plug-in" - the modified T-800. Let’s go back to the problem of crossing a and b. b's crossing cannot occur "at the same time" as a's crossing. Objectively speaking, in fact, there is a sequence or causal relationship between the two crossings a and b. On Line 1, why did John Connor send Kyle Reese back to save his mother? You must know that John Connor here has no "plug-in". How did he know that Skynet sent the T-800 to kill his mother? Because John Connor's engineers analyzed Skynet's equipment and data and came to this conclusion. This is clearly explained in the fifth movie, and they can find out the whereabouts of the robot that just traveled through time. So Kyle Reese followed the T-800 to Line 2 opened by the T-800. Here’s a question: shouldn’t the b crossing also cause divergence on line 2? Of course, it is! How to explain that? Simply, the crossing of a causes Line 1 to branch into Line 2’, while the crossing of B causes Line 2’ to branch into Line 2. Note: There are only T-800s on Line 2’ and no Kyle Reese. What is the fate of the humans on this line? We have no way of knowing, so we’re not optimistic. Wait, you want to ask me why I didn’t draw line 2’? I thought about it too, but I didn’t remember it until I finished drawing the picture and was halfway through writing the article. Alas, there will be similar omissions in future time travels, please forgive me. A is a five-dimensional time travel, and b is a six-dimensional time travel. How can one instrument have so many functions? Or, can it be like this? That is, the time travel is completed in six-dimensional time and space, but it can be used to achieve simple five-dimensional time travel. Scientifically, I really don’t know. In terms of plot, after watching the fifth movie, this statement fits well. In fact, at this point, the core part of the entire Terminator problem has been explained clearly, and now comes the details. Looking at line 2, Kyle Reese terminated the T-800, saved Sarah Connor, and successfully impregnated her. But the T-800's chip was left behind, and the story continued to develop. By 1994 (speculated from the second movie and Sarah Connor's birthday), the T-1000 and the human-modified T-800 (hereinafter referred to as AS, Arnold Schwarzenegger Arnold Schwarzenegger) arrived one after another.

Of course, just like the previous time travel, the c time travel brought T-1000, causing Line 2 to diverge, and Line 3 appeared. AS actually followed the T-1000 to Line 3 through d time travel. Regarding Line 3’, I don’t need to introduce it. In short, it is the timeline between the crossing and arrival of C and D. So what happened to the original Line 2? No 1994 robots arrived, but on August 29, 1997, Skynet was still activated. In 2029, humanity won victory under the leadership of John Connor. At the same time, Skynet sent the T-1000 to Line 2 in 1994 as a last ditch effort. Then John Connor sent AS to track the T-1000. Please note that at this time, John Connor had not been visited by time-traveling robots, and had only heard about things in 1984 from his mother. However, the smart John Connor would naturally think that the Skynet he was currently facing would also cause "off-board events". trick". But then again, would John Connor "instinctively" think that Skynet would send robots to 1984 as before? Of course smart John Connor wouldn't! What was Line 2 like in 1984? The T-800 and Kyle Reese have already traveled through it! The level of chaos from another time-travel is sure to make John Connor reconsider (just to be clear in advance, the chaos of multiple time-travels is exactly what the fifth movie is about!). John Connor's engineers will definitely understand after analyzing the instrument's data - the T-1000 was sent to 1994 to murder John Connor as a child. So this time, John Connor sent AS. Skynet is progressing, the T-1000 has been invented, and humans are also progressing, and the T-800 can be transformed. I'm wondering, is Kyle Reese standing next to John Connor at this time? In fact, Kyle Reese, a "native" of Line 2, is not the father of John Connor of Line 2, but Kyle Reese, a "native" of Line 1, is. Look at line 3 again. AS completed its mission, Sarah Connor and John Connor both survived, and the launch of Skynet was delayed. Note that it was only postponed, not cancelled. When will it be postponed? The fourth movie is said to be in early 21st century, which is when the third movie takes place. Let’s tentatively set it as 2006. This is a more common view. Before 2006, there was 2003, when Marcus Wright began to be transformed into a mechanical skeleton human body. This was the plot of the fourth movie, but it was also on line 3, and of course it was also on line 4. Different timelines can have *** origins, but they cannot have *** endings. On Line 3, there was no T-X and no AS coming again. Skynet was launched in 2006, and then Skynet lost to humans again. The date is speculated to be 2029. This time, Skynet sent T-X to travel through e-travel to 2006, where Line 3 was located, to attempt to murder a series of targets. The T-X who came to 2006 naturally diverged from the timeline, and Line 4 appeared. Then AS crossed through f and came to Line 4. Similarly, there is no need for me to introduce the matter of Line 4’. It is the timeline between e and f’s crossing and arrival. Compared with Line 2, Skynet on Line 3 further invented T-X, while humans are still stuck in AS. It is not difficult to imagine that this time on Line 4, AS barely completed the task, although it protected John Connor and others. Girlfriend Kate Brewster, but Judgment Day has not been postponed at all, the original 2006 is still 2006 (refer to the third movie). Then look at line 4. 2006, Judgment Day. In 2018, the plot of the fourth movie took place. In 2029, Skynet was defeated. This has entered the content of the fifth movie. Pay attention, the situation has changed. Skynet sent the T-800 to the past through i-travel. Where was it sent? Sent to another timeline - Line 6. But this is actually just a bait, to induce who? Inducing John Connor in 2029 on Line 4.

This John Connor is a complete idiot (the reason why he is so stupid may be because he accepted Marcus Wright's heart, haha, just kidding). He actually thought he was sending someone to save his mother in 1984. Come on, the time he was in The year 1984 has been crossed, and of course 1994 and 2006 have also been crossed. Just as John Connor was watching with great expectation Kyle Reese, a native of Line 4, was preparing to track the T-800 through j time travel, Skynet, who had learned a lot, took the opportunity to catch John Connor and transformed it into a T-3000. Regarding this Kyle Reese, the fifth movie explained that he was saved by John Connor when he was a child, and "hinted" that he had followed John Connor since then. But this conflicts with the fourth movie. The only explanation is that Kyle Reese was rescued as a child. John Connor did not know that the rescuer was Kyle Reese. Then the two separated, and then the two met again when Kyle Reese grew up. Alas, I still have to "wipe the butt" of the contradictions in plot details. Next comes the much-anticipated question: where does the fifth film’s “Dad” come from? Don't be too pretentious, just explain it directly. In the fifth part, Sarah Connor originally planned to travel to 1997. Whose idea was it? Of course it was her dad who taught her, who believed that Judgment Day happened in 1997. You must know that the Judgment Day on Line 3 and Line 4 both happened in 2006, so naturally Dad is not from 2029 in these two lines. Will Skynet only send robots to travel into the past to change history when it is about to lose? The answer is yes, because Tianwang is stubborn and will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River. Let's explain it like this. So where is daddy from? Any timeline that diverges after the Judgment Day of Line 2 is possible, such as Line 5. Skynet on Line 2 sent the T-1000 to 1994, while Skynet on Line 5 took a different approach and sent the T-1000 through g-travel to 1974 to murder 9-year-old Sarah Connor (this 9-year-old is speculative). This 1974 is inherent to Line 5. After learning that the T-1000 had left, John Connor from Line 5 in 2029 (presumed) sent AS to track the T-1000 through h travel. You see, Line 2 and Line 5 are so similar and have the same technological level. They both send T-1000 and AS, which further proves that Dad is from Line 5, which is similar to Line 2. Dad successfully completed the mission, not only rescued Sarah Connor, but also accompanied her to avoid the T-1000 incognito. All this happened on Line 6. Line 6’ is the timeline between the crossing and arrival of e and f. Let’s talk about i time travel and j time travel. Skynet on Line 4 is really amazing. Not only has the T-3000 been invented, but it has also made the first six-dimensional travel. Skynet's previous travels were all five-dimensional. The T-800 actually traveled through i to Line 6. This was a timeline created by the T-1000 sent by Skynet on Line 5 at different times. Of course, strictly speaking, this T-1000 is derived from line 6’, and line 6 is derived from line 6’ by the father who traveled through h. Line 6, which is caused by crossing i and crossing j, diverges into line 7. Line 7’ is the time line between crossings i and j. On Line 6, Dad and T-1000 were both looking forward to a time travel in 1984. Come on, you have traveled to 1974, so there is no story about 1984. There is only one explanation for their expectations - Skynet on Line 5 must not have understood the dimensional theory, so that Dad and T-1000, who will come to Line 6 in the future after being educated by Skynet on Line 5, are also confused. Don't complain, this is the only way to explain it. The i-travel and j-travel are so formidable that Kyle Reese, who traveled through j, actually obtained the memory of the young Kyle Reese before Judgment Day in other timelines, and this "other timeline" is not Line 8! Because - the absolute law of cause and effect.

The "cause" of Kyle Reese's memory of this incident should be this - Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor traveled to 1997 on a certain timeline as they "originally planned", but found that it was too early and the Judgment Day was still in the future, so they Waiting and fighting, I met the young Kyle Reese who was born and raised in the timeline, and then told him "Remember, Genisys is skynet, when Genisys comes on line, Judgment Day begins, you can kill skynet before it's born." and "You can do this, straight line, you just go and you don't look back." In this way, young Kyle Reese has this memory. As for what happened to this timeline? It has little to do with the plot we are discussing, after all we only care about the "first" source of memory. Of course, the acquisition mechanism of this memory cannot be explained theoretically by science at present. With this memory, Kyle Reese convinced Sarah Connor to time travel to 2017. If they didn't cross it, it would be Line 7. But they traveled through time, and this time traveling was different from all the previous time travels. This time they traveled to the future! From the moment Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese disappeared in the time machine, Line 7 has branched into countless timelines. Because any change, such as whether the father wore sunglasses or not on a certain day, or someone filled out Tsinghua University or Peking University when filling in the college entrance examination, etc., will lead to different timelines, and different timelines correspond to different endings. I said before that different timelines can have *** origins, but they cannot have *** endings. Even though these endings are likely to be almost the same, the subtle differences are essential differences. Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese are going to the future, but there are countless timelines in the future. Which one should they go to? In fact, it doesn't matter, because most timelines are similar, and Skynet in most timelines was launched in 2017. Such a small change as whether to wear sunglasses or not will not prevent the emergence of super artificial intelligence. This is just like even if Lin Biao was shot and died during the Anti-Japanese War, the outcome of the Liberation War is estimated to be the same. Of course, Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese will almost never encounter an extremely unlikely event like an asteroid hitting the earth. The future they come to is mostly "normal". One question: What about other "normal" timelines where Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese didn't arrive? As usual, ignore. In many timelines, Skynet will win, and in many timelines, Skynet will fail, and the failed Skynet will spare no effort to reverse the outcome. In the six-dimensional space and time, we can watch them fight and fight like this. fight. In the fifth movie, Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese traveled through L and came to a timeline similar to Line 8’. This Line 8’ is naturally a sub-timeline of the timeline where Sarah Connor was before crossing over. But having said that, even if Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese don't travel through time, they will wait until the prototype of Genesis is born. After Skynet on Line 4 sent out the i-crossing as a bait, its real purpose was to cross over to k. Line 8' branched off from Line 8 due to the arrival of John Connor, who was transformed by Skynet, and the L-crossing happened to be Come to Line 8 in 2017. Why doesn’t L crossing reach Line 8’? Because - among the countless sub-timelines of Sarah Connor's timeline before she crossed over, there are countless sub-timelines that have not been traveled by K, and there are also countless sub-timelines that have been traveled by K (there are countless timelines after the divergence point), and there are countless comparisons, so L's time travel to Line 8, a timeline visited by K, is by no means a small probability event.

An important question: Why is Skynet on Line 4 arranged in this way? Answer - Skynet on Line 4 cannot possibly know about the crossing of Lines 6, 7, and 8. It only knows about things on Line 4. unless! It is possible that Skynet from other timelines traveled through time to inform Skynet of Line 4. I wonder if the screenwriter of the movie thought of this. If there is no "plug-in" in the Skynet of Line 4, then it is just blindly traveling through it at will, and happens to come to the sub-line of the timeline that is interfered by Line 5. At this point, the timeline of the Terminator series is complete. If you have read it, thank you very much, after all: a page full of nonsense and a handful of bitter tears. It is said that the author is crazy, who can understand the meaning?
