With crazy shit like this every little bit helps.
If he works with physics stuff and likes this sort of thing, and knows that its a quantum mechanics puzzle then he may love it.

Not sure how that explains being totally wrong about your long-time friend's employment background. What was originally billed as memory failure turned out to be interaction with extra-dimensional semi-doppelgangers. That means different choices were made in these alternate universes prior to the comet.
Does that include free will?
So I guess some other Hugh, we'll call him Hugh2 put the box down and Amir1 saw Hugh2 and thought it was Hugh1 which explains why Hugh acted as if he never saw or touched any box.
Either way though, you are right, Amir and Hugh are the ones that originally went when they shouldn't have and got everything messed up.

Bruh, I don't know, about any of it. All I know is this film is a tremendous illustration of the actual weirdness that we are living within every day. Our reality is mind bending once you introduce quantum mechanics into it. Not that anyone would besides my dumb ass but if you start reading and watching videos about quantum mechanics, superposition, quantum entanglement, the double slit experiment, atoms being 99.9% air, then it just gets weirder and weirder as you go. The only thing that might be "real" is the energy keeping all this stuff going, you, me, the planets, the stars, everything is just energy.
We don't even know where the energy comes from. How does an electron hold its charge for eons? How does a proton appear in two places at once? The list of questions wold just go on forever it seems. Your consciousness, and your free will, may be a part of that energy system. Infinite maybe. Perhaps this cycle on the material plane where a universe is spawned and slowly dies over billions of years has already happened infinite times.
Maybe you were a part of that over and over, a part of the energy system that we know for a fact exists but we can't figure out where the energy comes from. Some call it God, others look for answers in science, but I'm not sure we are even close to explaining how reality is constructed. That is how physics, and then quantum physics began, as a way to understand how reality is constructed at the base level. Well, we finally got the tech to start getting down to the base level and what we see is mind boggling and makes no sense.
I'm definitely going to watch it again, and when I do I think this time I'll focus on the house décor. I guarantee the houses had subtle differences and I want to figure out how many we actually saw. Also I'm sure there's an assload of illuminati symbolism to be found
That could make sense. Amir sees Hugh go around a corner at the house, then come out of the house and put a box down, then go back inside(?), Amir grabs the box out of curiosity, then Hugh emerges from back around the corner with a bump on his head (all freaked out so they run). This "I thought I saw you put the box down" was pretty vague. Not sure the particular sequence adds up. Like you said, lots to digest.
Hugh deserved to get cucked in all universes.
No shit. I am blown away by actual science all the time. GPS satellites have to account for the fact that time passes AT A DIFFERENT RATE on Earth than in orbit. FFS. And yes, solid objects are mostly energy, and the solid sensation is the reaction of particles in proximity. One could turn to weed to cope with all this if one were so inclined.Is that not fucking crazy? Remove all the dead space in the atoms and the entire human race fits in a sugar cube. The entire material universe is 99.999% empty space. What is real? I don't know. We are existing in a free standing 3 dimensional reality that appears to be mostly energy, not matter. The electrical charges of our atoms make it SEEM as if we are solid, and the chair is solid, but I'm not sure that is the case. People joke around about holographic universe theories and simulation theories, maybe its not a joke. These things seem much more plausible when you start understanding the nature of matter.
It is the energy charges of the subatomic particles that make you THINK matter is solid. I'm telling you, its not. Your electrical field is pushing back against the chairs electrical field, so you don't fall right through it. Nobody even knows how these particles acquire their charge or how they hold on to it.
Let me preface by saying I'm just a dumbass sherdogger spitballing this movie, ok?Not sure how that explains being totally wrong about your long-time friend's employment background.

I noticed the glass because it was the focus in a couple of shots.One of the decor changes was the broken glass scene and then in another scene the glass wasn't broken.
There was also the conversation where Emily realized she was in the wrong house.
The group now finds out that Beth had given Lee the drops. Emily1 and the group wonder about the drug in the food. After the discussion in the kitchen with the drops, Lee asks Beth about her vase.
... a conversation that Emily realizes the two characters already had much before the dinner party started (in House1):
So I don't know how many little clues there are but even after seeing the movie three times I'm thinking I probably missed stuff.

Pretty sure I missed the vase conversation.
I was thinking about the wall art and pictures and such. There were a lot of paintings. I want to see if they ever come into focus and what they contain.
He did get cucked lol. Mike is all up in his shit when he gets drunk. "If I banged your wife I did it in every single reality." Mike pays though because Hugh roughs him up and is dragged away and then right at that moment another Mike busts in carrying a green glow stick and beats the shit out of himself right after Hugh did. Was this some kind of karma playing out here where Mike was punishing himself? He took two ass kickings for it though.

But I don't think it mean different choices were actually made, ever. It means different choices were possible, and here's Laurie13, the shiny new slut who would have made those choices!
Let's simplfy things right here. When there was all that catty talk about Laurie in tight dresses, weren't you imagining something more like this?
And look what we got instead. Nevermind. We already saw. It was...
Yeah, the box is another major aspect (presumably symbolizing Schrodinger's box). You can pick something to focus on and rewatch a dozen times. Really just a cool movie. I appreciate you for bringing it to the club. Now I need to look out for similar movies like Primer, which I've never seen.That and also the authentication items like oven mitt, stapler, ping pong paddle, etc. If you can spot which item is on the table you will know what house you are in.
Laurie looked like a vampire, practically glowing white and not super attractive. I was hoping for a hotty with some light spanking to follow. Em was waaaaaayyyy hotter, and Kevin was a dumbass.
Richard Feynman, who was one of the smartest men who ever lived, said this about the quantum world.
Here is another from Roger Penrose, these are big brained men.
With quantum mechanics, all those universes only exist within a cloud of possibility. Each one of those possibilities only becomes real in the material world when we act on it, when we interfere with it, when we study it, when we measure it, and only THEN do those possibilities becomes real in the macro world.
I'm telling you that all those "other people" were not from other planets, they were only possible outcomes from a quantum cloud, an infinite number of them.
You can attribute it to the switching of the ring possibly but you also can't rely on the director to get it perfect do to the fact only a few men on the planet truly have a grasp of quantum theory.
Emily was thinking Schrodinger's Cat and when the box was opened, in this case the comet was gone, that she would be the only one left in that reality but she got entangled through her own interference. This is why she passed out after coming out of the bathroom. She was entangled with the Emily that she just clobbered and stole the ring from. Once they were entangled what happens to one affects the other as well.
OMG, you are triggering me. The two houses matched and the two dinner parties matched because they were dealing with the possibilities from the cloud of possibilities that have to do with their lives. The other people only represented possible outcomes for each one of their lives. Its like a huge tapestry that is all about you but in the total scope you only make up one thread in that tapestry. All the other threads are made of possibilities.

Again, that seems more like a statement against the movie than for it. If it is fundamentally incomprehensible -- why talk about a movie about the subject as if it makes any rational sense?
I know I'm shooting the shit here. Big if we're going to talk about this movie having any meaning or conclusion -- then it has to make sense, no?
So it's like a Limit in Math.
The blue line approaches x (0 in this instant) yet never actually reaches Zero, since you can always say it is 0.00000...0000....0000 and then add a 1 in the end, you can always add another 0, hence there are an infinate amount of growth.
Umm... what are you trying to say here?
The ring still just seems like an arbitrary token for me. Quantum physics should not describe such importance to it.
So why wasn't she Entangled with the girl on the phone, seeing as they were observable (well, not observable in the visual sense of course) when they boyfriend interacted with the both of them.
Had the "possibilities" only started branching out after the Meteor hits, then relative consistency would have been expected. But since the "sea of possibilities" extends to before the event occurred as well, (like the woman not recognizing the actor in one TV-show, because in that possibility he was never on the TV-show at all, which happened before the Dinner Party), we would expect very drastic differences between the possibilities.
Which also births the inquiry. If reality exists independent on the possibilities (as quantum physics postulates... and we as observers only have an observable reality when we nail one possibility down by observing it... I think?), how can the events of the past -- before the meteor hit -- have been altered, since different previous possibilities would have impacted reality and thus changed reality as well?

Yeah, pussy ain't free. It hasn't been clear though on the 12 years thing. Was that to write the sin off due to age or to absolve it by being pre-Hugh? It's a kick in the balls either way, but it sure changes the group's culpability.
Pretty much yes.
Electrons, lets say a particle with an electron shell of 12, meaning it has 12 electrons orbiting the nucleus, don't look like this.
They look like this.
Obviously, 12 electrons is not the million dots you see above that make up the cloud. This is the strangeness of our reality. Those 12 electrons are in superposition, meaning they are at all points within that cloud simultaneously. Its also referred to as a possibility cloud. Now here is the next weird part. It is only when we try to locate those 12 items within that cloud, that they appear. The cloud is a wave function, the electron when we see it is a particle function.
Now apply that to all the infinite possibilities in the Coherence film. All those dots in the cloud are the possibilities for the characters but once they interfere with that cloud, a particle comes into focus and its no longer a cloud (wave), its a particle (electron). They were experiencing all the possibilities within the cloud. Emily, however, really interfered with that cloud trying to locate the possibility she wanted and it cost her.
Mike also had bad outcomes I'm sure because one of the windows showed the group with two Mike's tied to chairs.
Its always funny to see something like that appear in an animated series. You can be guaranteed 99% of people that saw it had no idea wtf was being said. That quiet environment is what has to be achieved for quantum computing. D-Wave discovered that they could only compute wit entangled atoms if the environment was cooled almost to absolute zero and the environment was highly shielded, or quiet.
No, I'm saying all of reality is the possibility "bubble" or "cloud." I'm saying that at the quantum level, all the atoms and particles that make up the universe that you know, behave in this way. They appear immaterial, they are neither here nor there, they are here and there, they are both still and moving at the same time, they are in Superposition, they are entangled, and all sorts of other strangeness. It is only when we observe them, or they are interfered with, that they come into focus as the reality you know and understand. Otherwise they remain in a cloud of strangeness unlike anything ever conceived of in a novel or movie because they are nothing, and everything, at the same time.
When you fire a proton through a metal sheet with 2 slits on it, that 1 proton goes through both slits, simultaneously, it is in both places at once.
The reason you could see both Emily's and other characters at the same time is illustrated by the picture above. The proton, or in this case the Emily, can be in more than one place at once. This is the reality we are living in. The proton doesn't split, causing half to go through slit A and half through slit B, it simply is in both places at the same time. This is kinda what you are dealing with in the film. All those Emily's are essentially possible her's, they can be is an infinite number of positions within the cloud.
Its god awful hard to sort out. I don't know if the ring was the deciding factor that entangled the two together but after she hit Emily #2 in the head and stole her ring she walked out of the bathroom and collapsed, just like Emily #2 was collapsed in the tub.
We know Emily was not the only one that got Twilight Zoned here. I timestamped this and it shows 2 Mike's tied to chairs. They were most certainly entangled and when things went back to normal those two Mike's were trapped together. Once again, it was the people that interfered that this happened to.
