He's going back into his old body with his new consciousness. Like Quantum Leap.Roujin wrote:Is Bill Murray actually time travelling though in Groundhog Day? He certainly doesn't travel back to the same timeline every day, because he would see the version of himself that was already there, and also he has some form of immortality, when he dies, he wakes up again at the start of the day. I put it to you that the consciousness of Bill Murray is actually moving between parallel dimensions whenever he enters an unconscious state. What is the cause of this anomoly? How the fuck should I know, do I look like Patrick Stewart going through my adevntures in the later seasons of TNG? What I do know is that there is a clear pattern of rules that govern when his consciousness moves into another parallel dimension, which implies an element of artificial interference in the space/time continuum which he experiences locally when he dies or goes to sleep. We can possibly extrapolate a bit futher based on our own societal understandings of what happens to Bill Murray's character. There is a condition which has to be met, in order for his life to return to normal, and on top of that, although he is free to roam within a given area of space time, he is trapped there, in essence, his freedom is being withheld until a particular criteria has been met. I conclude with my theory: Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, will go on to commit some kind of galactic level crime at some point after February 2nd 1993. A crime for which he is clearly caught and brought to justice for, but a crime so grievous in scale, that he is sentenced to a period of indefinite imprisonment to reform his character until such time as he no longer carries out the atrocity in the future.

Time_on_my_hands wrote:Okay. So with Quantum Leap - where does it all begin re cause and effect? Taking the Al episode as an example (where Sam leaps into Al and has to save him)... 1. Al is a pivotal person in setting up the Quantum Leap project as we know it up to this episode, however if Sam was responsible for saving his life via that project, is this not a paradox? 2. Did the whole universe instantly change the moment Sam made that first leap? It seems that he is simultaneously at all points in history that he leaps to, causing an immediate ripple effect in 4D spacetime (hence the constantly changing probabilities being calculated). 3. Therefore, was the Quantum Leap project actually developed in partnership with the English guy who replaces Al in that one episode, but as soon as Sam leaps, it's inevitable that Al will be saved and so history and his memory changes. Alternative theory: Is Sam actually leaping to work against a malign influence seeking to corrupt history? Is there another unseen leaper working as an antagonist and Sam gas to fix things? So re saving Al, Al was always supposed to live, but another time traveller attempted to change history by having him killed and that's why Sam leaps into him.
