Shane Carruth is amazed at the life of Primer. Fans still love to discuss its details. Theories are cruelly belittled and bitterly defended. The timeline and which Aaron is which are disputed at www.Primermovie.com and at imdb.com. Try putting up a statement, wait for a reply, and edit your first comment. Presto, you have yourself a virtual time machine. You can begin to reverse engineer your statements. Most fans believe only their personal theories or ones they have fallen for at Whikipedia.com.
Why has no one solved Primer before? Simply that they continue to repeat the errors of others that seemed very confident in their answers. Some people actually use a second identity to agree and congratulate themselves. I have researched these sites extensively to prove that I am the first to solve Primer. I suspect that when these answers get out, some people will try to edit their theories to post this information as their own. So, I am writing history back to 2004, a 4 year time machine.
If the movie Primer led to this book, what will this book lead to? If there is nothing more to argue about will those boards die away? Carruth has already made his site a read only site, with just a few of us able to post new information. I don’t know how long I will last either. I fear if I post any major answers on his site I will be revoked, erased from existence.
But I may actually show up to argue against what I have writ-ten just to keep things alive. Maybe I will say that Aaron(3) is not really Aaron(3) or that Abe never built the fail-safe. I guarantee it will never be the wildest ideas that have already been posted. For example: Abe is Aaron, Aaron is Abe’s son, and there are 1300 Aaron’s in the last timeline. Time travel does lead to insanity, just look at what happened to Cole and Evan. At least Emit was just eccentric; at least he drove a Delorean.
