I don't think I'm a completely retarded person, but can someone please explain the whole m-theory to me, in laymans terms.



The quickest (albeit incomplete) explanation is that, in addition to the normal four dimensions (length, width, depth, time) there are seven other dimensions that, while unseen and unperceived by us, actually chiefly influence how the Universe "works".

But mostly Cohle is just tossing that out there with a cynical view of the Many Worlds Theory to screw with the investigators so I don't anticipate his grasp of theoretical physics actually playing a role in the resolution of the season.

Marty is impulsive. He saw the kids. Went nuts. Blew Reggie's meth head off. No premeditation. Only reaction to the kids in the box truck

The absolute over analyzation of micro moments is astounding.

let me just say that it's really impressive that i am no longer the villain of this thread


You could just proclaim this show is sophomoric and not interesting at this point, and no one would care

I think the thread has been pretty solid, minus Decatur, but he is so wrong it's almost funny. I wouldn't recommend reading it from start to finish now, but if you've stayed up with it, it's been entertaining. As someone said, most of these theories will be put to rest Sunday, but I'm sure Ryno and Decatur will creat new ones.

Haha, no alter here. Maybe that last "theories" thread corrupted my mind but I couldn't help but make that connection. I'll hang up the phone now, and I'll let Decatur continue to steer me in the right direction.

I feel like we need a private EP# thread from here on out for a select few of us who actually contribute solid information. Some posters in here are throwing shite against a brick wall and see what sticks.

As far as the beer cans go Rust makes 5 tin men. They have crowns. We have seen the 5 men one woman thing several times during the show. During this episode Rust knocks one down. I took that to mean 1 down (Ledoux in this narrative) 4 more responsible people to go.

Doing a rewatch right now.

There's definitely more than one person involved. That's why I'm confident they we've yet to see some very important characters.

I think we've seen everybody but one. The big kahuna. In some form or fashion it's going to be a combination of people that have the Light the Way school and law enforcement in common.

M-theory


It's a form of string theory that unites all string theories and in the darkness binds them with an 11th dimension.

But I don't think the particulars of M-theory are particularly important for the show (or probably in real life). It's just a way of para-scientifically getting at more metaphysical idea of eternal return. M-theory just adds plausibility to the notion of "a higher dimension," I guess.

Reggie had a spiral in between his shoulder blades. It was removed but you can see it.
Also, Reggie reacted to Marty when he told him to freeze, like he was confused. When he saw Rust he looked like "oh, I'll play along".
He soon new his fate but warned Rust, "he sees ya, your in Carcosa now". He being Marty. Your in his world now.

decatur has been troll-fricking TD threads since EP 2 I believe

i don't think he's trolling

i also think he's starting to convince some people that his theory has merit, and they're reacting internally

still, even if marty is the killer, these people won't admit it sucks and i was right...so it doesn't matter in the end
