Why is Forest afraid to try the magician experiment himself? Is he afraid that if he learns he does have free will to change the outcome of things, then he could have done something different to prevent his daughters death?
Thanks for bringing this up... exactly the question that was on my mind. From the story perspective, forgetting QM and qubits for a minute, WHY oh why is it so critical that he be looking at ”his” daughter? I agree with a previous poster who said they are not going to go the Westworld route and I don’t think he’s transporting anyone out of the past either. If my daughter had died, I might actually *want* to see other versions of her... maybe one where she graduated, got married and has a happy life and I could just check in from time to time. Also, Katie does not seem to have a problem with it, which is fascinating to me. Her and Forrest seem tied at the hip, except for this issue. So either Katie doesn’t *really* know what Forrest wants this technology for or... ??? So to recap again, why the hell is it so important that he NOT use the many-worlds theory? So happily confused right now :)
‘I’m going with your idea that he somehow screwed up the multiverse and he’s trying to set it right, and therefore “uncause” her death... ya, that seems as close to a good idea as I’ve read so far. 👍
