The thing is, since nobody else keeps their memory in it except the selected person, we literally COULD be in a groundhog minute every minute of our lives, but we would never know it as the passage of time is constant and smooth from our perspectives. It's entirely possible that some poor fool has been trapped in this minute for centuries, driven to the point of insanity, but to everyone else, it looks like they just had an unprompted mental breakdown over the course of 60 seconds.

@@connorfries8297 Or, conversely, you could actually make the opposite assumption. Since time has occurred in the past, we can assume that if a groundhog minute is possible, then it must be possible to break out of them - this follows logically, since given great enough time, all possible actions could be taken by the groundhogee, and if we assume that a critical part of groundhog is that there must be some way to break it then eventually the groundhogee will do so - even if it takes relatively nearing-infinite time to escape, it will happen. At the same time, we must consider that a groundhog loop effects all of space simultaneously (that is, there is no spatial aspect to when the loop resets - it universally effects everywhere all at once, rather than blooming out at the speed of light). Considering again the vastness of time and space, and that all combinations of atomic configuration that ever can and will occur have occurred at some point in the universe, then we must be lead to believe that if it is possible for such an event to exist, then there are continual groundhog loops being formed throughout the universe constantly, all naturally ending once their termination circumstances have been reached. The universe is a in a timeless state of groundhog loop - a million infinities of time butted up next to each other, each one activating one plank time after the other, each one taking a relative infinity for their respective groundhogee. All that's happened is that it hasn't been your go yet.

@@user-id2nr1zp1u that is an interesting idea. presumably everyone would grow to have these time loop codes (so someone can't just lie to get what they want, they have to prove they're in a loop). If there was an understood way to break the loop, there would probably be endless tutorials, books, classes etc, 'what to do in case' preparations and time loop survivor groups. If it isn't clear there might be more of an emphasis on entertainment. Roguelike games would be booming. Anything with major replayability really. A time loop sucks, but it's not so bad if it lets you try out all those Terraria challenge runs you didn't have time for before. Depending on how common the phenomenon is, maybe there would be a service or an agreed place in your city to where you can see if anyone else is looping the same day as you, so you have someone to talk to and not go insane with. You'd also have people who judge you for not using your loop effectively enough. You didn't master your craft? Didn't grow enough as a person? When *I* was in my loop I learned how to paint like the old masters. What were *you* doing? etc. Also, you could hear stories from other people about their loops, presumably, and you might even be told about yourself more often, things you didn't even realise. If someone on any given day actively says 'hey, I'm in a time loop' and proves it, and you remember it in the future, you know that was actually their last day in the loop. Maybe you could wonder about that stranger at the bar or go round to congratulate a friend when you realise it's the next day as usual for you.

The higher ups at the film studio wanted a scene where a gypsy cursed Bill Murray's character causing the time loop. Obviously this is stupid and the writers protested, so what they did was they purposely scheduled it to be the last thing they filmed so they would purposefully miss the deadline and not have to put the scene in. This allowed the movie to have a wider variety of interpretations, like the one you had just now.

if the start of groundhog day is where this groundhog planck time begins, then it would simply be a question of if bill murray's on his own faced with infinity, could he figure out what lesson he needs to learn on his own. Would being faced with endless darkness for his eyes do not have the time to open and constant silence for the alarm has just 1 picosecond left before it starts to ring lead his thoughts astray as he contemplates a hatred for whatever god has cursed him out of nowhere, would he give up on finding an answer to his wrongdoings and instead find an end by ceasing all thought and waiting out both eternity and no time whatsoever, if he were to do this would he escape the groundhog day loop by simply waiting out infinity? But most importantly of all, would he even be stuck in the loop? the human brain has a speed limit eventually, right? If he cannot think during that moment then it doesn't matter how many 0s he remembers because it's all nothing, he is just another NPC in the world unaware of the time loop whose day moves on while the meat that should inhabit bill murray is sealed for eternity. Or would this mean he simply experiences instant death? Or does everyone's future simply cease when groundhog day ends, therefore the universe just suddenly ceases to be

It does pose an interesting question to have the time loop reset so quick that he hypothetically wouldn’t even be able to think but considering he does retain his memory in normal Groundhog Day I’d assume the speed of the human brain doesn’t really apply. The constant resetting would be retained by his mind like it does on the movie allowing him to think at least I’d imagine. It’s honestly horrifying though if that’s the case, cause it does question if he’d even be able to get any stimulus from his body as a whole since only his thoughts loop it begs the question if he could even experience the sensation of laying in bed. It probably be for him like being paralyzed and blind and deaf all at once and more. He’d be stuck in the dark in his head in sensory deprivation. Unable to do anything but think to himself with such little time.

There was this scifi short film I watched where someone can set a "respawn time" with this device, and if they die, they're sent back to the moment they set. For years a guy tries to do one particular task, and when he fails every time, he kills himself to be sent back to before so he can try again. Eventually he has a talk with someone and decides to move on and go do something else. As he leaves the building to go somewhere else, he accidentally sets the spawn time right before he steps onto the street and instantly gets hit by a bus. He's now in an infinite time loop of being hit by a bus because he had momentum when the return time was set, he doesn't have time to reverse course in any loop,. so there's no way out. He's going to experience the agony of being hit by a bus for all of eternity, conscious but no way out. To me it's a very horrifying concept that while simple (trapped in a death loop too short to escape from) I've never seen implemented anywhere else. It's been stuck in my mind ever since.

I might even go a step further and say that because of perspective, we are not even in the time loop and after that day, we just keep going on with our lives and Bill Murray is the only person actually experiencing it. If he gets stuck in an endless time loop, maybe time will still exist and we will go on living after that day, but he wouldn’t. This would sort of cause a paradox since he would change the course of that day, and therefore how the future will go with every iteration, but we are dealing with infinity here.

In Physics we have certain conserved quantities: mass, energy, electric charge, stuff like that We write our equations in such a way that those quantities never change, but here's the thing. When you look at these equations closely you realize that it is completely possible for them to change, except those changes don't make time move forward These quantities can be having random values for a billion years and one day they will have the values they had before, and that will make time move forward, and we will experience it It's like there's the time we experience, and another time we cannot experience. Let's call them time 1 and time 2. We live in time 1, and here the universe makes sense, but time 2 is just pure chaos. There are no laws of physics in time 2, only randomness, but in that randomness sometimes things appear to fulfill the laws of physics, and that makes time 1 move forward Time 2 is just a philosophical idea, of course. There's no way to prove it is real, and even if it was, it wouldn't, because it will never affect us, it will never be real to us... But its fun to think about. I think Cool channel btw, earned a sub

I mean.. horror is an emotion? so.. if nobody is aware of the loop, then it can't really be horrific except to an outside observer, and then really only in theory.

Groundhog plank time is the most terrifying thing imaginable. Being aware of literally every tick of time, it would basically add up to seconds, minutes, days, years... and with time so short, you wouldn't even have enough time to twitch a muscle. It would be like time froze solid and you froze with it, except you'd be aware of your own statue-like fate. Oh and better hope you didn't have any injury or a headache, because that feeling would remain, constant

Groundhock plank time reminds me of an horror SFM where the victim's brain activity is accelerated, thus time passes slower to their perspective. The effect increases until their time slows down to a crawl. A second to the outside world lasts them decades. This raises the question, what would a human do if they were stuck with their thoughts, with no stimuli or senses for infinite time? How long would it take for them to loose sanity? Would the brain eventually shutdown or stop working due to the lack of stimuli?

What about a groundhog lifetime? I.E., you are forced to relive your life if you ever die from the moment you are born. What would that be like? Would it be hell, or would it eventually become paradise? Would we even know if this scenario is happening to us this very moment? Who's to say you haven't experienced it before?

A stray idea I had, if i was in a time loop i feel like it would be interesting to observe how small variations could change peoples day in the loop. The person who keeps their memories should be the only one who's capable of doing new things, but that isnt true, actions taken in the loop can change other people's actions. Simple idea. Someone you know was gonna be angry all day, what if you gave them a complement, this could boost them and they arent so grumpy anymore. From their that person's actions could be entirely different, so what they do could effect people too. I guess I'm saying I wonder how much small variations in your own actions could change other people.

If we think we are in a one minute timeloop, all we can do is wait 1,00000...1 minutes and we now know we werent. But what if it was a 2 minutes one? Well, we'll have to wait 2,0000...1 minutes from the start. But what about about day? A week? A year? OUR WHOLE LIFE? Well, just wait an instant longer and that's it, cause that's all you'll be able to do... Well, maybe not the whole life part but meh, you wouldn't notice anyway.

i often think what if the universe was a simulation then our simulators could pause the simulation at any moment and we wouldn't notice they could pause it for a million years (for whatever their time scale is) and then start it again maybe they didn't like the way something played out and rewind in time a little bit - rewriting what already exists they could have restarted the universe a million times just to see how things play out differently and in all of those cases we wouldn't even notice the thing that scares me the most though is when they stop the simulation for good. Again for us we wouldn't notice, time just stops because it was never real, it was only a number in the simulation. When the simulation is stopped - its probably not much longer till our simulators stop caring about us all together. We and everything anyone has every done - no - all of human culture all the solar system and universe and everything - its just a file on a computer beyond universal proportions. and then that computer might run out of storage space. As our simulators are cleaning their comic hard drive they find us - everything we ever know and love and ever will know or love - but they view us as nothing more than unnecessary data - so they press 'Delete'.

With sanbox videogames like Minecraft or city-builders, we already have this. We simulate a world and sometimes people. Although they are merely lines of code and not conscious, wouldn't the simulators of our universe think the same of us? If this univsrse is a simulation, conscience doesn't exist, and all state is deterministic. This means that for each instant, everything that happens is determined based on the current state of the universe. The past and future may still exist, in the same way as undo/redo on text editors.

A Planck time loop would just feel like being frozen in time. Nowhere near enough is happening for the human brain to comprehend movement. Depending how the loop works, the person stuck might not even be able to think, unless the body is persistent and just kinda continues existing smoothly even when time resets, then you would be able to think.

What I find interesting about being trapped in a plank second, something I have thought about far too many times, is the idea that each moment could be the moment that we're looping in, but as soon as you think that the moment is over so it's definitely not. In a similar vein, following from last-thursdayism, each moment could be the moment the universe is created, and you know its created at that moment, but as soon as the moments over you don't know if it was created yet or not.
