Sandra Brandt.
- Carol Jenkins.

What is this?
- Old style, I guess. We'll just
have to wait and see.

Right. So you work with
Wahlstein, right?
- Yes. You?

Pen pals, you could say. For
years now. Sharing our
thoughts, reflecting on each
others work, that sort of thing.

I have never actually met him.
What's he like?
- Unique.

I mean, he has a theorem named
after him.
It's used all over the world.

Is he hiding from something?
He hasn't published anything
since...

- Jenkins. You're Jenkins and
McMillan?

Well I'm not McMillan, but yes,
that's me.

So what do you think this is
about?

Sandra?
- David!

Hi, David Forsberg.
- Nice to meet you.

Fascinating stuff.

- Well, we just made a
connection no one else had seen.
Crossed a boundary, you could
say.

Well, what do you think this
meeting is about, anyway?
- No idea.

I so want to meet him.
But why does he want to meet us?

That is a bit unusual.
- Unheard of! In ten years he's
never shown any interest.

There must be a reason why he's
bringing us together.
Any ideas on what it could be?

There's four of everything.

Hey, did you also have to leave
all of your things at the
reception desk?

Now why did we have to do that?

It is odd.

You think he's found something?
Had a scientific breakthrough?

- But he would trust us,
wouldn't he?

Kate Wattana. CTF Astrophysics
Lab.
- Sandra Brandt.

I know. Lund University. The
only one
Wahlstein ever meets. I wonder
why?

David Forsberg.
Electro-Magnetic Interference
expert.

And Carol Jenkins, professor
of quantum physics -

- at one of those...
American... universities.

So, what do you think this is
all about?
- What is your guess?

Well, it's obvious that we are
here to discuss some -

- magnetic disturbance relevant
both at a
subatomary and cosmic level.

Judging by Sandra's presence,
it will require quite complex
mathematics.

The question is:
why the secrecy?

Why did we have to
leave our things?

And why did they just lock us
in?

Don't touch that door.

A necessary inconvenience. You
will soon understand.
Please.

I will explain. Please.

Dear, dear colleagues.
Welcome to this room.

You may wonder why you
are all here. Rest assured.

This room will become the most
important room in your life.

I apologize for not
being there in person.

Believe me, if I could, I would

But as you soon will understand
that is quite impossible.

So you will have to watch
this recording instead.

You have all been doing researc
involving large complicated
numbers,

and those are the numbers
you will be dealing with today.

My own research has brought me
into areas that some would
call...

Well, let's just say
I don't do what everyone else
does.

Some of you know more about thi
than the others,
and on your shoulders lie a
heavier burden.

Now, concentrate and listen.
When this recording of me
finishes,

you will not be able to play it
again.

And the things I tell you,
you will want to hear.

They will be absolutely critica
for your survival.

To be precise: at 10:21 tonight
you will all die.

But you can prevent your
deaths from happening.

I will give you the keys to
succeed,
and you will have to work
together to use them.

I wish I could tell you more,
but that would only confuse you.

It's just a game.

In a game, someone wins.
- What are you talking about?

Not all of us will leave this
room.

You can't be serious!
- Alright, that's enough.

It is time to get started. I
will
give you a list of numbers,

and you will have to use these
numbers
to secure your own survival.

So - grab a pen everyone,
and let's get started.

Six-oh-four point
double-oh-nine-two-six.

Four-four-three point
one-one-six.

Three-nine-five-four-six-two-ei
ht-four.

Six point seven-four-oh-eight
times ten to the minus eleven.

Three point one-four-treble
eight, mind you.

Seven-six-three.

One-six-four point
three-oh-six-three.

Is anyone else having trouble
following this?

One point two-two-one.

Oh point eight-oh-eight.

Twelve thousand four hundred an
sixty-one.

Two-six-four point
eight-nine-one.
- Two-six-four point
eight-nine-one.

Two point seven-six-five times
ten to the thirty.

And finally: six-six-six.

Just kidding. I am just making
sure
that you are all still
listening.

Now, some final words.

I am not alive.

Unless my doctors are
complete idiots,

I have only about
two weeks to live,

and when you're watching this,
those two weeks were a long time
ago.

So instead, you are here.

And if you are half as smart
as I think you are,

you will be able to
figure out why.

And if you don't...
you will most likely die.

Good luck.

What was that?

He's dead?

Did he just threaten to kill us?

Did anyone get all those
numbers?
- Are you really going through
with this?

I mean, what's going to happen?
How can he possibly know that we
will die?

At a specific time? How can we
believe that?

Can we take the risk?
What if what he says is true?

What are you doing?

We have four hours.

This is silly.
There's nothing stopping us from
leaving.

I mean, come on!
- Carol!

What if? What if there is
something
to stop us leaving the room?

Look, I am sure I can force that
lock.
- Maybe it's booby-trapped.

So he trusts he can scare us.
- But he knows us.

He knows we wouldn't take his
word for it.
He could have done something
to...

Something to scare us!
- Or to kill the one that tries.

Carol!

Wahlstein, you shithead!
- Calm down.

You calm down!

What about that number? That
number you knew
was gonna come up. What was
that?

Yeah. How did you know that?
What is that number?

I put two of the other numbers
into this equation.

By interpolating the values, I
could
derive the next number in the
series.

You made that calculation
and interpolated a new value

while he was still
giving us new numbers?

How could you possibly do that?
- What is the
equation?

Big Bang?

Yes.

And the value...?
-...was a calculation?
You didn't measure it?

How could I measure it? It
hasn't happened.
Yet.

No, no, no. We're not talking
about this.
This is crazy.

The end of Expansion?
- A black hole?

Created from what, exactly?
- I don't know.

I just know what the numbers
tell me.
- And they tell you... -

- ...a new universe
is about to be created.

This is exactly the kind of
thing Wahlstein does.
Did. What else?

Okay, fine, I'll give it a
minute.
What about tachyons?

Good.

More?
- Oh, how about time travel?

Molecular displacement.

Alien invasion?

What numbers do you base that
on?

Oh, I don't know. What do you
think?

3.14888 for example, isn't that
the average
circumference of your normal
flying saucer?

In their units, I mean.
What are those units called
again? Alien feet?

You think this is funny.
- Mmm.

You think you will get out of
here
acting like that.

Do you think I would hesitate to
kill you?

If it would guarantee me getting
out of this room alive?

Kate...
- I mean it!

Do you like gambling?

I don't.
You should take this seriously.

We may look like fools when it
turns out to be a joke,
but I'm not willing to take the
risk.

Nobody's going to die.
- And you know this how?

We're doing this for a while,
to see where it leads us.

Alright, so we play along for
now, just in case.
- Yeah, yeah.

Something's missing.

Okay.

Let's all look at the numbers
again
and find new ways of combining
them.

Look. What are we doing?

Do we really think we can
stop this thing from happening
just by

writing down some numbers?

Stop what?
- Well exactly! We don't even
know.

Just because Wahlstein says
something
doesn't make it true.

Why should we believe him?
Why should we trust him?

What happens if we don't?

So, what do we do?

We figure out what it is we're
supposed to stop.

Or we figure out a way
to get the hell out of here.

Well, maybe you want to try the
door again.
Better one of us gets
electrocuted twice.

What do you mean?
- The door. Maybe it's safe now.

So you want to try to open it
again?
- No, David should.

But...
- Look, I'm not touching
anything electrical. I have a
bad heart.

I'll have a look.

Hey guys. What if we short out
the electricity?
That would kill the door trap,
right?

No, it wouldn't.

Well, I think we should try it.
I think we should try anything.

Listen, she's right. It's too
easy.
- Look, we're going to die if we
don't try everything.

What kind of a sick room
doesn't have a single wall
socket?

It wouldn't work!
That just can't be the solution.

Why this math problem if it's
only
a wall socket that needs to be
shorted?

Well, maybe that's it.

He wants us to panic.

So we start trying all these
electrical
things, until we're all
electrocuted.

The panic will kill us.

So the solution is:

we do nothing.
Because nothing's going to
happen.

The numbers are only decoys.

The only way we survive is
if we ignore the numbers.

Ignore solving this
unidentified problem.

If we try to get out of here,
the effort might kill us.

If we don't...

some event within a couple of
hours
will kill us. So which is it?

How do we decide what to do?

We do both. I check the room,
and you guys continue with the
numbers.

But what are we looking for?
What problem are we trying to
solve?

That's just a hypothesis.
Never been measured properly.

So, we're going to die of one of
two things.

Either we're going to be ripped
apart
on the molecular level,

or a new Big Bang starts right
here.

Now, hey, that's our best
option.
Kate's number.

Think about it. If we have to be
in this room,
it has to be local.

It has to be something
that happens only here.

Maybe it's a small bang.

Still, there is that number.

Could it be relevant to
some other scenario?

Let's compare our notes.

Well, it looks like we've more
or less
come to the same conclusions.

Actually, what's the point?
Let's say we
figure out what these numbers
mean,

and it's some disaster or some
cosmic event, or whatever.

How are we going to stop it?

The right numbers can solve any
problem.

Well, you've got a number that's
wrong
right there. That is 3078.

No it isn't, I'm sure of it.
It's 3063.

Well, no, I'm quite sure I'm
right.
- Well, I'm positive I'm right.

Maybe Wahlstein lied.
Maybe he's watching us.

"As someone with a microscope
might study creatures..."

"that swarm and multiply
in a drop of water."

Did you guys see that?
- What?

Kate.

I think I saw her... change.

She looks alright to
me.

You didn't notice anything
strange?

No. I mean, somebody moved,
then moved back. One of you.

No, we didn't.
- You didn't?

Okay.

Hey. Better get your act
together. I don't see you
making your calculations. We all
depend on them, you know.

Hey Sandra!
- What?

Can we have you back here in the
room with us?
We have less than two hours.

Back... in the room...?

You were daydreaming. Gone.
Like you were not even here.

Not... here...

Two hours. It's all I'm asking.
- Yeah.

Okay, here's a thought. Time
travel.
It's not such a bad idea after
all.

Except that it's impossible.
- Basically, it's the same
thing.

You go from here, to here,
without passing here.

The dimension is time,
otherwise it's the same.

It's linear.
- It can't go backwards.

Still. It's a displacement.

What?

Listen, I have an
idea...
- What?

What if the theta in
Kate's causal design represents
the same function variable as in
my spatial balance algorithm?

Then we could run those two
together
and reduce... What?

What?

What the fuck just happened?
- What's happening...?

What is going on?
- No. No.

What are you doing to
me?

Calm down.

Right. So that's it.

Yeah. It has to be.
- Only it is impossible.

Or it used to be.

You can see patterns of it in
the cosmic microwave background.

But those are just numbers
from a measuring tool.

This is it. The real thing.
Here, now.

And you just did it.

What are you both talking about?
- You crossed the boundary. You
both did.

So you're saying that what we
saw was...?
- Yes.

She was here.
- It must have been her. For a
moment.

Who?

Who was here?

Who was here?
God damn it, answ- -

...want some answers!

What just happened?

What are you doing?

What the hell are you doing to
me?

Answer me, god damn it!

What the f - -

Kate, why did you do that?
- Now we can tell them apart.

What the hell is going on?

What are you doing? You keep
moving around.

Why did you scream?

I'm feeling a little lost here.
What is this boundary you're
talking about?

The causal boundary. That's what
all this is about.
The numbers, the equations.

Eternal inflation. Measured
before, always
at the edge of what we can see,
way out in space.

But if we understand these
calculations correctly,
this time it's closer. Much
closer.

There's a bubble colliding with
us, with our bubble,
right now, right here.

Here as in this end of the
universe,
or here on Earth?

Here. In this room.

In this room. And I crossed
the boundary twice?

I didn't see it.

The important thing now is to
figure out
why Wahlstein arranged this.

Why did he want us in this room?

Well, that's obvious, isn't it?
I mean, what will
happen to us. You saw what
happened to Carol.

So this thing will affect us
all?
- We will all die!

No no no. Wahlstein wouldn't...
He is... was... a scientist.

His intention couldn't simply be
for us to die.

It's just not what he does.

He wants us to do something.

Then why not just tell us to do
it?

We wouldn't have believed him.

"Dear colleagues,
you are all here today..."

"to stop a parallel universe
from invading our own and..."

"causing the complete
destruction of
mankind and all the known
universe."

And it's a method.
- What method?

Put problem solvers in a
situation they know
nothing about, put pressure on
them,

time-constraints or whatever,
and they produce better results.

Give them too much
background information,

make them feel
comfortable and relaxed,

and their work is less
effective,
and takes longer.

So we will work better because
he
has given us too little
information?

It's a known paradox.

Yes. Yes, that makes sense.

Take Kate's equation, and
transform it
using these numbers.

There will be two of everything.
It's two worlds, exactly the
same.

When the bubbles touch,
things must switch places, -

- and somehow, I cross over
to the other side.

And the other you comes here.
- And you can't tell the
difference.

Yes we can. The other you
has a mark on her shoulder.

That still doesn't explain why.
Why we're here.

Why did Wally arrange this?

To explore? To measure?

It would be a scientific
breakthrough!

Or to act.

To stop this thing
before it hurts someone.

Before it destroys the boundary!

That would rip the universe
apart.

Is that it?

Does he expect us to
save the world?

We can figure out when the next
"flip" or "switch" will take
place.

They're happening all the time.
Don't you see?

We're only seeing the obvious
ones,
the ones involving people.

What about all the little ones?
The things that "flip"?

And there must be crossovers
happening all the time.

Particles crossing over the
boundary.
Loads of them. Millions.

Micro-flips.

I remember Wahlstein talking
about them once. Micro-flips.

Miniature crossovers from one
side of
the boundary to the other.

So small we can't see them.

I'm sure we can figure out
what they are.

I have an idea.

Dear Carol, I hope this letter
finds you...

in better shape than I am.

You will be pleased to know...

that I have stumbled upon
something quite remarkable.

As you know, many consider
my research a bit odd.

I present numbers and
calculations
and they say they do not believe
them.

But: Science is not a belief.

It is absolute, and it helps us
to
open doors into new worlds.

In recent years, my calculation
have opened such a door.

Let us liken our universe
to a soap bubble,

floating in a bubble bath
with other soap bubbles.

We are living on the
edge of this bubble.

Our universes just one bubble
among many many others.

When two bubbles collide,
they could stick to each other,

they could deform each other, o
they
could merge into a much bigger
bubble.

Imagine two circles. If they ar
next to each other,
they occupy two circle areas.

But if they share the same
origin point,
they only occupy one circle
area. Agreed?

Now imagine the same
for two universes.

...Big Bang... stick to each
other...

undoing the creation...
universes... Luckily...
solution...

... it is impossible...

Can we have
you... have you back
here in the... in the room with
us...?

...you were not even here...
Like you were not even here.

She was
here...
It must have
been her...

Did you say you have a bad
heart?

You wanted David to check the
door...

because you thought...

he was the one who
tried it the first time.

3078!

What was that number?
- We disagreed on it.

I was sure it was 3063.
- Meaning...?

You were both right.

She was the other Carol.

Are you okay?
- Did you see that?

What?
- It was the same room.

Wahlstein. Alive.

You are...

Are you...?

This is not good.
- Two at the same time, in the
same place.

There's too much mass.
- The energy...

What?

... obvious that we're here
to... CTF astrophysics lab...

...cosmic disturbance... a
bubble colliding with us...
Lund university...

... if we understand these
calculations correctly...
must be a reason...

... will require quite complex
mathematics...
eternal inflation... fascinating
stuff...

... always at the edge of what
we can see...
long time no see...

So: What do you think all this
is about?

Right now, right here.

Sandra, what is our status here?

You're the other Sandra, aren't
you?

So where's the other me?
- He's... dead.

I see. Not good.
Where's Carol?

Fantastic!
I mean... how awful.

I don't understand.
How could she disappear?

How can they both exist?
- They can't. That's the thing.

So... what happens...?
- Is it over?

Over?

Please. Come. We need to...
We don't have much time.

Define the problem.
- Bubble collision.

We are here.
- Point of tangency.

It seems that your Wahlstein has
made an incorrect assumption.

There are more than two.

It is a point of convergence.

How many?
- How fast?

An infinite number. At enormous
speed.

...amassing the energy, and
potentially creating...

Creating what?

Good point. We should keep
everyone informed.
It's what we can do to avoid...

Avoid what?
- Okay...

Okay, fine. I think this
convergence- -

Go on.
- I didn't say anything.

I was listening. You were
talking.

I think what we have to do is
tell everyone- -
...is going to happen?

There will be a massive
convergence.
- So what we are seeing here is
any number of- -

...crazy!
- In order to bring all
alternates up to speed...

A convergence this massive will
increase density- -

What were you saying? Increase
density?
- Did I say that?

That's a major problem.
- What is?

Density?

Everyone should understand what
is going on.

Sandra, correct me if I'm wrong-

The problem with these
converging bubbles is that- -
...I think I know what
will happen.

These multiple- -
...multiple copies- -
...multiple copies are incapable
of co-existing.

There will be a disaster.

Right about what?

Multiple masses in the same
space.
- A singularity.

Of course! And in order to make
it stable- -

A stable singularity? What is he
t- -

...between the worlds.

Carol! You're back!

Was I ever gone?

It is close.

Now!

The surfaces - of the - bubbles
- will - multiply -
and multiply - and multiply -
and multiply -

- like a - lot of - balloon -
animals.

Of course!

So - when masses - converge - in
the same - space -
converge in the same space -

So - when masses converge in the
same space,
they create - the same
singularity -

- they create the same -
singularity - in all - universes

Yes!

This will - give - birth - to a
new -
to a new - bubble - bubble -
bubble -

- a new bubble...

- that will - break away - from
the others.

Yes! - Of course.

All of these - minds - minds -
in the -
same - place - in the same -
place

- in the same - place.

A cacophony - a cacophony of
voices - a cacophony of voices -
a cacophony - a cacophony of -

A cacophony... - a cacophony of
voices -
of voices - voices - voices - of
voices -

Yes! - Yes!

Will we retain our sanity?

Yes?

So you see,
if we assume there is
another universe besides our
own,

and these two universes were to
meet, even in a small point...

say, perhaps, a point
the size of a room,

there would momentarily be
double
the amount of mass in that
point.

Simple string theory would then
tell you
that this is not very good.

In fact, it could be
catastrophic.

The resulting mass to energy
conversion
would potentially cause...

simultaneous black hole
eruptions
in both the adjoining universes.

In other words, twin big bangs,

undoing the creation
of said universes.

Luckily, I have figured out
a solution...

if we were to observe such a
collision
between bubbles, that is.

We would simply have to make
sure
that all mass energy content...

at the intersecting point
occupies the same spacetime.

This would prevent the
singularities
from causing dual black holes,

and thus save
the two universes.

There is only one small problem

The room or point will
become a singularity,

folding into itself.

In both universes, it will
appear to disappear.

But if my calculations are
correct,
it will in fact not disappear,

but only disconnect from
its two parent bubbles,

and form its own,
new, unique bubble.

The child of two universes.

Now is it over?

It feels stable...
- Give it a moment, to make
sure.

So... now we can start fresh.

What do you think is out there?

It's an unknown constant.
- A variable.

Maybe we can form it ourselves.
- Do things better from the
beginning.

- You think there's nothing out
there?

No... not nothing...

Everything.
- Anything.

Come on!
