Brilliant physics student Cassandra Sinclair finds herself running from the evil Initiative
Organization—which includes her childhood friend Josh and a posh lady with an English
accent—who are after the equations in her thesis notes that somehow (she’s not quite sure
how) launched her on multiple slips back in time (we counted eight) that may or may not
result in destroying yourself by getting too close to yourself, a closed timelike curve,
quantum entanglement, and/or solving the Grandfather Paradox (without ever having anything
that resembles the Grandfather Paradox, quantum entanglement, or a closed timelike curve). We
suspect that writer/director Kenneth Mader had been reading “
Experimental
Simulation of Closed Timelike Curves,” but the actual science didn’t fully translate
from the lab to the silver screen.
Handy Hint: The movie is eminently more watchable in a
late-night group where everyone shouts “Great Scott!” whenever a character spews a
sequence of pseudoscientific quantum mumbo jumbo that vaguely resembles an English sentence.

We’ve been running simulations to resolve the Grandfather Paradox, and we experienced
an unusual electromagnetic pulse at the school that was triggered remotely. We were able
to locate the source, but I suspect someone may have taken our simulations a step
further.
. . . The equation in your daughter’s
thesis notes may have actually solved the paradox. But they’re untested and now
they’re missing, and you said Charles has been absent. Could he have taken them and
induced an entanglement?!
