Time Inversion Explained
Ok so before discussing time in the film we have to discuss time itself.
Time is a strange old thing and even scientists are still not 100% sure on how it exists, what was before it and what caused it.
When did time start? Does it stretch back trillions of years? If so does it have a starting point and if it does, does that mean that it also an end point?
All these questions could completely rot your brain your brain and it's best to not dwell on them too much as we simply don't have the time to talk about time itself.
In it's most basic times though time is the progression of existence in which we move towards the future from the present and in doing this create the past.
This sequence seems irreversible and because of the way that humans percieve time we witness them happen in a linear fashion.
However there are theories that time is actually cycular and if we were to view time all at once we would see how everything fits together in one complete sequence in which all things exist at once, relying on each other in order to create a complete experience.
Now what Tenet does it that it takes how we view time and flips this through a process called time inversion.
So instead of viewing time moving from the present into the future it inverts this perspective and allows objects and the characters to move through the flow of time from the present into the past.
Now there are no real jumps in this and the flow of time still moves the exact same way. So 10 years backwards is still the same length of time to the person who is inverted as 10 years forward would be.
How Does One Invert Time
Now how is this accomplished exactly. Well all humans and objects have something known as entropy.
In physics entropy is a thermodynamic quantity which represents a system's thermal energy which changes over time. Entropy is a measurement used to disguinsh the past from the future and ittends to work in one direction only. However due to radiation, scientists in the future are able to reverse this.
This is accomplished through a process that involves radiating objects.

[@damiancantalini]

Thing about that is, they were able to pick up the objects inverted as if the inverted version of themselves dropped them. If they dropped them, they ould bounce around and land on there side. Not nice and neatly aligned standing up. Scientist also mentioned "you'd have to have dropped it in the future" before the protagonist is able to pick it up. That indicates that your past self can influence your future self with intention. Meaning intention can change the course of events and break the loop.

I saw it in a new XD theater which is basically as good as sound gets, and understood maybe 2/3 of the dialog. I get that Nolan thinks this is some sort of brave creative choice, but they need to remaster the sound and send it back out to theaters.

"Michael Caine's character, who is also called Michael..." That wasn't a coincidence. His character had the same name solely so that after his meeting, the Protagonist can say to him: "Good-bye, Sir Michael." I believe that line is intended as Christopher Nolan's farewell to his longtime collaborator (eight films since and including "Batman Begins") Sir Michael Caine, and this will be his final film.

[@NoahTeohZhengYi]

If I get your question right, the answer should be : Neil explained it towards the end of the movie. He said “what’s happened, happened.... That’s doesn’t give you an excuse to do nothing. “ so he meant even if nothing can be changed, you can’t just do nothing. They need to do whatever is needed in order to make the events happen.

[@Senseigainz]

Ryan O D but that still doesnt make sense. Neil and Blue team go to the fight an hour before Red team does then invert to creat a pincer. That means Neil is dead. He cant come back an invert himself to make sure he doesnt die. Also, Neil is from the future, a time after the event has taken place. I think Neil has been told he gets killed in future so when he comes back he makes sure he doesnt get killed and makes sure the door is open. Which means they changed the future. Which goes against the films “whats happens has happened”

[@kabirkumar2782]

I'll try to explain the best way possible. In the event of the movies, everything is pre destined and will happen exactly the way it does. So in kats case, she goes back when shot, gets on the boat and then shoots the husband. When she jumps of the boat, we can see her past self (who has not been shot as of yet) ( later the past self tells the protagonist that she saw a woman jumping off at the restraunt). So there are two kats at that time. The future kat then waits till the past kat is shot after the car chase and is inverted and is sent back. Now there is only one kat. So she replaces her former self.

[@ichputzhiernur6851]

I actually had troubles understanding a completely different part of the movie: the intro. The protagonist and some other Americans helped the Ukraine task force fight terrorists in the opera house. The Ukraines woke them up for this. Why? Then, the protagonist apparently has his own secret mission with the twilight code if I remember correctly. What is this mission? And how does the Russian villain know and say the code later in the movie? And then it just skips to the protagonist being interrogated on the railroads. And he seems to be in some kind of coma? I first thought that the whole opera scene was just some kind of imaginary mind test, but then why would Neal appear and help him out? I'm soo confused haha

[@daweenmaan]

My understanding was the Americans were a CIA hit team sent in to get their man whose cover was blown and to recover the package, which would later turn out to be part of the algorithm. The Russians must've been local contacts that intelligence agencies hire (which I gather not from intelligence experience but other movies about spies) who then betray them because they're working for Sator and want the piece of the algorithm, which then ends up in the hands of Ukrainian security forces. That leads to the highway heist scene. That was my take after the second viewing.

​@@ichputzhiernur6851 The whole intro was essentially a test to see if the protagonist was fit for a role in Tenet. He passed this test because he took the pill: as standard protocol in the CIA instead of enduring torture in attempt to expose information, if there's an option to just poison yourself to die quicker, take it-- and that's what he did, but it turns out that it wasn't actually lethal as it was all just to test his abilities and the extents he would go for the mission.

Some of the specifics in the movie break my brain, but overall it's followable. It's the inverted people that I can't wrap my head around. To me it doesn't make sense that they are moving forwards from their perspective. I don't know, I need a few more days to think on it I think.

[@xoronin]

@@Senseigainz So is it like they are moving backwards from the perspective of the non inverted people but to the inverted people they see things moving forward eventhough they are actually moving backwards?

[@Senseigainz]

Someone Pretty much. The forward people see the world and time as normal. Inverted people; walk normally but the world is going backwards, including time. From the forward people perspective the inverted people are going backwards. If you look at the movie posters you can see the picture is mirror image.

If you watch it again. Pay attention to the scene with the scientist explaining the visual mechanics. With her dropping/catching the bullet. It’s about cause and effect with perspective.

you also need to remember that we as the viewer / the camera itself isn't always moving forwards in time, for example when sator enters the machine after (well technically before xD) "killing" kat the camera enters it with him and follows his point of view, which is then inverted. once you keep track on when we are seeing things in reverse or not it becomes much clearer

[@tattvabodhaka6140]

The reason he went with red and blue is very apt ! It represents entropy through the concept of heat , red represents hotter objects (that increases entropy) and blue for the colder object ( that does not increase entropy as much as the hot objects )! The constant switch from red to blue might indicate the flow of heat from the hotter to the colder object thereby increasing the entropy of the environment ! Vice versa for decrease of entropy in the environment ! I personally think there is another layer apart from reds and blues , it’s the superset of all objects or in thermodynamics terms : the entropy of the universe (which must always increases)! It’s kind of the reference . Nolan might’ve thrown in another colour code to foreshadow the superset layer ! The attempt is to gain knowledge from both perspectives which is trying to observe the same cause-effect from a higher dimension (looking down at events of red and blue ). The characters slowly fit together the jigsaw of the superset layer through the act of superposition (first dive through the red, keeping the actions at blue constant and then vice versa) ! Studying them one at a time to piece both perspectives together !

[@NinjarioPicmin]

sure, but that's always with these kinds of movies, on a fundamental physical level they would obviously not work for so many reasons. That's why these films set up some rules like "What if it was possible that you could reverse someones entropy (with no other consequences to the thing experiencing this inversion)" or other films that then ask other questions like "what if you could become invisible but still were able to see yourself" "what if superheroes existed that could do this and that". It only becomes an issue when films set up rules for themselves and then break these rules, which makes the whole universe, that was built on the premise that things worked in a certain way, unbelievable

Standard Tenet initiation procedure? The more complex answer is probably that his future self arranged for it to happen, because it already happened...

[@clickbait3753]

it's a paradox. The protagonist got the idea of the initiation pill from the leader of tenet which was himself in the future after it happened to himself, so then in the future he used that idea for tenet, which would in turn lead for him in the past to learn the idea again, then bring it to the future again, and so on. It's like if someone wrote a book, you went back in time to when before they wrote it, that person then copies the book they wrote to then make that book in their own time, and then you have a paradox of how was the book original written?

My favorite analogy regarding time: imagine walking through a massive cornfield. Pushing down stalks right in front of you to move forward. Winding and turning to create a giant path.

Something I don't understand: how come you can travel backwards while thinking, speaking or acting forward? Shouldn't you be backwards all the way? Can you fight someone who's going forward while you're going backwards and still be able to properly defend yourself? I didn't get that logic from the movie. It seems to me they cherry picked the effects of inverting entropy. At the explanation in 7:41,when Kat travels back a second time, shouldn't she get shot once again by her husband but this time in "forward motion"? Since her past self was shot by her husband with an inverted bullet before going back in time the first time around? This really is circular time travel. If it was actual inversion, there would be no duplicates from any characters.

[@mosesgarcia9443]

Yes. You make dome good points. If the woman is shot, how is invering going to heal her. Shouldn't she and the other be getting younger too.

[@whiskeycan529]

Relativity. You *are* backwards all the way to the outside world but a new forward *all the way* to your self. Similar to how a car and its passengers are all in motion from a pedestrians perspective, but from the passengers perspective they feel relatively stationary sitting in the car while its the pedestrians who are whizzing by outside. The bullet, being inverted, did inverted damage to Kats body. She would have to be inverted as well in order to deinvert the damage and move in the direction of healing. Obviously this isn't actual realized technology so its useless trying to explain or understand where to draw the line at what -- like why does the damage to her body despite being caused by an inverted bullet, not travel in the same temporal direction as the rest of her body seeing as how the sequence of events was objective from her position. There is a significant amount that can be analyzed and understood and there really is a cohesive logic to it but we also have to remember that its a movie and there are limits (unless we want a 10 hour movie) to what can be explained. We just have to accept at some points that in the universe of this movie, this is just how the tech works.

[@JustSomeDinosaurPerson]

You still think, speak and act forward while traveling backwards because it is an inversion of YOUR perspective. It is like looking in a mirror and not realizing which side you are on. There are duplicates because both versions of yourself have to enter the turnstile simultaneously. You [while forward] enter the turnstile and then pop back out the other side, now inverted, to experience time going backwards [or being rewinded] in an instant. Well what happened the moment after [which is now before] you entered the turnstile when you were forward? You were in the process of entering the turnstile. That's why there are "duplicates". You are doing precisely what every character in the film tells you not to do: "thinking in linear terms". These things have to happen simultaneously in order to occupy the same frames of time.

[@raffaelepiccini3405]

Because every version of you will have to follow the same set of events that happens to one i.e. if you travel back one day, there will be a version of you 'yesterday' that will go through the day and then travel back one day just like you did, putting them one day behind you. Essentially there will eventually only be one version of you in the future as you cannot jump forward in time, meaning you will never encounter past versions of yourself if you do not invert. My best understanding is that since you are only conscious of yourself and not other versions of you (unless you come into contact with them), you will always be, from your perspective, the most current version of yourself, even if you aren't.

Singa Muzic The timer was counting down to the moment when the explosion occurred. The explosion was not supposed to destroy the algorithm but rather to seal the algorithm in the ground beneath the rubble left by the explosion. The algorithm was supposed to remain in the ground for many years until Sator’s contacts uncovered it and used it to end the world at the precise moment when Sator’s life ended. However, as the protagonist and Ives removed the algorithm prior to the explosion, Sator’s contacts from the future never got their hands on the algorithm and so were not able to end the world.
