I presume some of you have seen it. It's an excellent movie in my opinion. I think it holds some insight into how to understand Q's posts, the concept of future proves past is huge, the language is shaped like clocks and/or Q's. It involves non-linear thought. I'm too tired right now to break it down too much but maybe some others who have seen it want to chime in cause it definitely feels like there's something there.

Less for u/starseed and more for those interested:
To be clear, it's a short story titled "Story of Your Life" from an anthology of a similar name (Author: Ted Chiang). Good story, although it's been a while since I read it.
The movie added things and excluded others, but I thought the point of it was authentic to the original story. It delves into this idea of language and "fate" / "determinism". In the end, you get the feeling both free will and fate are inextricably intertwined. For those who've studied Sapir-Whorf and Chomskian linguistic theory (blegh), both the story and movie are fantastic thought-provokers.
Thank you for this, its been a long time since i read it so i diddnt remember any of these details
