Ah, cinema’s a great playground for the imagination—slow‑motion is like stretching a clock’s tick to let us savor the detail, jump cuts are the director’s way of saying, “Time is just a suggestion, not a rule.” In reality, our spacetime is a stubborn, curved manifold where time warps with gravity, not a simple reel you can just rewind. So while the film keeps us entertained with a neat narrative clock, physics keeps us grounded in a deeper, more elusive rhythm that we still’re only beginning to understand.
