Source Code: A Dramatic Conventional Approach to Time Traveling

Instead, it asserted that he was programmed. As the plot unfolds, this fictitious space-time turned out to be a parallel universe. In light of this statement, this film questions the philosophical basis of time traveling and offered the conventional explanation.
