The essence of my concept includes the following:
1) Time travel
2) Self-Replication in the sense that you control your future
3) The fifth dimension, which acts as the habitat for this type of replication
4) Difficulties such as absolute zero, and maintaining time machine
5) Possible implications such as clones of yourself
The short story attempts to cover all of the above aspects, concentrating on the time machine technology and the difficulties of it. Since I'm not sure about the length of the story or the video, I listed some ideas about it first:
Characters:
Max - the male protagonist Alice - the female protagonist Bertro - the physics professor Edison - Max's great grandfather Celia - Alice in a different universe Sam - Max in a different universe
(There aren't many characters because I intend to play the parts myself)
Plot:
Max needs to go back in time because everything goes wrong in his current universe. His parents have abandoned him, he fails school, and loses his girlfriend. From his studies on relativity, he plans to build a time machine. However, he realizes that there are several difficulties he must resolve. When he finds the solutions to these difficulties, he is able to travel back in time. However, he realizes that the people he once knew are no longer the same.
