Would you have 2 of the same rooms? Also, would the water from the tap be a "object"?
I wonder what powers the water has.
EDIT: Also, do you think the room can act as a time machine? "go to my apartment in 1980"
That's a very good question. The sort of seem to hint when breaking into Kreutzfeld's house that you can't open a door to the room if a door is already open (I can't remember the exact dialogue), but that question goes along with lots of questions from this, such as, "If a door is opened with the key, can that same door be opened from the other side?"
As far as the water goes, I'd be inclined to say yes, it is an object. But if that's the case, is there an unlimited supply of it?
I may be crazy, but I thought I saw bottled water in the "vault".
shareWell...remember each time you used the key you just opened a new iteration of the room.
Only the Objects would remain a constant in each iteration.
So it wouldn't really matter much.
Offcourse...well...hmm
"What if you opened the door, took key out and opened another door? Would you have two of the same room?"
I don't think so. The Occupant said that there were many rooms, which I took as meaning that each time you open a door a new room is created - it looks identical but it's a separate room. So, if you opened two doors at once you'd just have two rooms. Though, I guess there could still be questions about how it would effect time/space. I just don't think it is a terribly important question, considering there were so many other things left open-ended that more specifically dealt with the plot.
"Also, would the water from the tap be an "object"?"
I'd say no, because I thought only the stuff belonging to The Occupant became objects and the water from the tap didn't belong to him.
"Also, do you think the room can act as a time machine? "go to my apartment in 1980"
Again, I'd say no because, unless I'm forgetting, no one on the show ever traveled back in time. They only traveled through space. If they were capable of going back in time couldn't Joe just have traveled back to when the Event happened or when Conroy tried her experiment and gotten his answers that way? Would have been a lot easier that going through all he did.
"I'd say no, because I thought only the stuff belonging to The Occupant became objects and the water from the tap didn't belong to him."
Wikipedia says that all objects in the room are "objects" even if nobody thinks of them as such and they go on to list the TV, linens, etc.
I don't think that every Object belonged to the Occupant. Some of the objects belonged to the motel room.
shareIt was undoubtedly experiments such as are suggested here, that led to the Disaster in 1966. Opening two doors simultaneously doesn't really represent a paradox, since they are simply two doors leading to the same place. Since we know the Key accesses separate, infinite instances of the Room, opening two doors simultaneously may merely access two separate instances of the Room. This would suggest that two people entering the Room from different doors would not meet inside the Room, nor would they be able to 'exit' through each others' entrances, nor could one 'reset' the other.
shareIf the objects stay constant when inside the room do you think one could put the pen in the room, open two rooms and have two pens? Or would pen two be destroyed once it left the room because of the conservation of objects?
sharePresumeably if one could open two doors simultaneously, one could view two instances of the same object. In other words, two pens. But taking them both out of the room is another matter. If the Law Of Conservation Of Objects holds true, one must cease to exist as the second is drawn out of the room. So, only one pen.
