I've been noticing a discrepancy in several articles about TRON: Legacy concerning the time dilation effect while Kevin Flynn is inside the TRON world. Most of the recent articles I've been reading are stating that one year in the real world is like 1000 years in the TRON world, so therefore, since Kevin Flynn has been in the server for 20 years real world time, that equates to 20,000 years in the TRON world.

I distinctly remember an article or interview with Joe Kosinski stating that time scales about 50 times faster in the TRON world than it does in the real world. So 20 years in the real world equates to 1000 years in the TRON world.

I think there was a "page" from one of Kevin Flynn's books, as part of the ARG, that had a statement that 1 year is like 1000 years in the TRON world, or something like that, which is probably where the 20,000 years is coming from.

My question is, which one is right? Either way, it's a heck of a long time! order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Wouldn't this be the other way around if you apply the theory as to what happens when one travels near the speed of light? For every 1 year Flynn experiences in the computer, 1300 years would have passed in the real world.

Tron Unit Wrote:Just how does Flynn age if he's been trapped there for 20 years? Physically he shouldn't because he's just a digital construct of himself in the Real World. Theoretically he should look identical to Clu just as he did in the old system. The laws of physical spacetime should not apply. If he returns to the Real World in 2010 he should look as he did in 1989 and start to age again normally once he's back in the physical world.

I've wondered about that, and I've been thinking it might be because he's a User rather than a program. I don't know what's different that would cause that, but at least it's an idea order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Shadowdragon, is that genetic algorithm thing from something? One of Flynn's notes or the official website? I don't remember reading about it before.

Also, I guess maybe he could edit the programs so that they age...but what's in it for the program I imagine they'd be pretty keen on not getting old.

Flynn's computer system is *not* the same system for TRON (1982) , i.e. it not the Encom 511. So Flynn wrote in slightly different "rules" and such into his system. He uploaded Programs (Basics) to populate The Grid at first, then later a new form of digital beings materialize... i.e. The system /the Grid "evolved" beyond it's original peramiters. So it's side effects of that became unpredictable.... The Grid was not entirely finished or "perfected" on an intrisic level when he got trapped there.

Alan Bradley mentions that Flynn was talking to him about "Genetic Algorythms" and "quantum teleportation".

The following is speculation based on what various elements of Tron Legacy backstory from Tron Betrayal and material from Flynn Lives related content/info (nothing specific from Joe Kosinski)

Genetic Algorythms probably preserve Flynn's DNA/RNA pattern, but either a flaw in the system or Flynn *percieving* himself to have aged over the course of many cycles & real world years resulted in him appearing to have aged.

A User's mind I think *does* seem to have some subtle influence on how he percieves the digital universe (in the old system and now in The Grid) and his interactions with it ( related to "User Power", such as when Flynn used his mind to re-build a Recognizer from broke apart pieces of a Recognizer)..

So if Flynn, who's been trapped in the system for 20,000 virtual years (seeming like an eternity), he probably feels and perceives himself to age 20-30 yrs.
If he returns to the real world, will he be 35 again? Maybe, or maybe not. Depends if the DNA/RNA routines that preserved and put his pattern in stasis, or if the routines where progressive, allowing for slow, gradual biological aging based on a normal 24 hr period and progression of real-world time.

I think this is what's going on, and makes sense to me. where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

I wonder how many years Dumont was the Tower Guardian in the Tron world? Is he stuck on Encom 511, or has he been duplicated to other systems via the Internet? If he was duplicated, do all of his versions across all servers have the same age and age progression rate as the original Dumont?

Actually, I'm not curious about this.

I just want to know the generalities of time progression in the computer compared to real world, and the movie (or just thinking about it more) will help me understand this. I don't need to reason away via "it's on a different server" or anything.

I don't need perfect scientifically tested answers for this, as there's a little bit of "just accept" when it comes to the Tron world. I don't need or want perfect answers for everything and hope Kosinski and future Tron movies don't set out to try and explain everything for us.

Ok, so did anyone notice when Finn was talking to Sam about how long the portial stays open? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought he said it only stays open for about "ONE MICO SECOND, OR ABOUT EIGHT HOURS." Did I hear that right?

So I did a little math and and if one mico second in our time = 8 hours in their world wouldn't that be an OOPS? Because they clearly said a1000 cycles in the new movie.

So the next queston would be how long is a cycle? Because if you do the math it don't add up. For exsample 1 second in our time would = 8000 hours or 333.3333 Days in the tron world.

1 minute would = over 54 years in their time.
1 hour would = 3,285 years
1 day would = 78,850 years
1 year in our time would be 28,800,000 years in their time.
20 years would be 576 million years in the digil world.

That sounds like hell to me. To be trapped in there for that long. That would make a 1,000 years sound like a day in the park wouldn't you think.

Of course its only a movie, but if you really was trapped in their like that wouldn't you want to get out too? So for keven to sacrafice himself for his son opens up a whole new level in the Tron story. Will there be a tron three? It looks like they left it open for that.

DigiCom Wrote:He said "1 millicycle" not microsecond.

What DigiCom said.

And if you figure that a "cycle" is roughly the same as a year, when you do the math, it just about works out:

365 days x 24 hours = 8760 hours in a year or 1 "cycle"

1 millicycle = one thousandth of a cycle or 1/1000

8760 hours / 1000 = 8.76 hours

so, 1 "millicycle" = 8.76 hours

(I was never that great at math, so somebody check my work! LOL!)

By the way, I'm not sure where I got the equivalent of 1 cycle = 1 year from. It seems I read it somewhere, but I can't remember where at the moment. (It's hell getting old! LOL!)

Well thank you for that answer. That would make a lot more since.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill
