THIS SHOW WAS THE *beep* I AGREE THEY SHOULD RELEASE IT ON DVD! FRANK PARKER WAS BADDAZZ,FUNNY,COMPASSIONATE,AND COULD KNUCKLE! THE ONLY THING I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WAS,THE WAY HE USE TO GAMBLE,WHY HE NEVER PLAYED THE LOTTO AFTER HE BACK STEPPED?
shareIn one episode he did gamble. Havign seen a ball game he knew the outcome so, made a bet. However, the oposite team won. His sactins in the past had a eripple effect changign loads of other things. The exact term for htis is "The Butterfly Effect", and thus his presence in altering History has chnaged the rsults of he ball team.
Lottory Nubers are chosen essentally at Random, so just because one combination of numbers won doens't mean the same numbers will be picked when Time is rewound and played back in a backstep.
That's an interesting conundrum. Lottery numbers have to obey the laws of physics which are predictable although not deterministic due to quantum mechanics. So Frank back stepping could cause different lottery numbers to be chosen due chaos theory (butterfly effect).
However, it is unlikely to be effected by quantum mechanics since lotto balls are large macroscopic objects and therefore quantum uncertainty is tiny so should be deterministic.
I actually watched an ep last night, Vegas Heist which had Frank betting on a roulette wheel and one arm bandit where he won. This episode reminded me of just how great the first season of this show was. Thirteen years on and that episode still had the tension of a modern 24 episode. Wish I could get them in good quality though, the rips out there are crap!
Bauer vs. Bourne, that is the question.
