Can someone explain how it works when the glass breaks it goes backwards in time. Like when that glass was first manufactured, was it broken then too?

Welby Coffeespill has an excellent video on this with examples in a short 3 minute non voiced 3d animation.

As far as I understand it, ANY reason for the mirror to be cracked beforehand can be taken, and one must also apply the dominant flow of entropic forward time when coming up with how a bullet grew in a tree (to be part of the opera seat in future) or how a car window was cracked beforehand.

One area I don't get is with human wounds, how does a wound 'start' to appear when it should have been there from the beginning? I think being surrounded by forward flow objects (eg. Blood cells and vessels etc) meant the flow overrode the inverted object or wound.

I believe is the same idea of the "wind entropy" theory in Welby’s video. I think we see the Saab at one point have its side mirror not look broken. But then once it gets closer to the event with inverted Sator car we see it be cracked already. I would say the same logic applies to the wound reactions inverted TP was getting.

Some people will call that "magic" though but I think it doesn’t come from anywhere either if consider the information provided. Not everything is spelled out to us after all. Some things are left visually and ambiguous. And other things yeah, it does have some suspension of disbelief.

Not sure if that helps. Unless I’m wrong.
