Red Angel Theories- Post Here

But why would Future Michael Burnham travel back in time to 2053 Earth and rescue a group of people in Indiana just before a nuclear bomb detonates? See, that's where the "it's Burnham" theory really breaks down.

Why would she visit World War III Earth and abduct a group of survivors, transplanting them to a distant planet?

Because she knew it had to happen, and she was the one who had to do it?
 
You know, one thing that no one has mentioned... what if Spock is wrong in that it's a human? Assuming it is from the future based on the advanced technology, it's not a stretch to think the lifeform within the suit can shield or manipulate its thoughts to appear human. Or at least humanlike. What if the Red Angel IS an AI? Maybe even a future descendant of Data? That far in the future, it may very well be likely that an AI can mimic a human mind.

Or hell... the Red Angel could be the child from the merging of V'Ger, Ilia, and Decker.

It's a future Zora who was the past CONTROL.
:wtf:
 
My Theory: 2255 starfleets uses AI, mostly in S31 but across all aspects of life. This leads to a future where the AI destroy's humanity (or the Borg come in and take over the AI as part of their assilimation process). In that future, some of the remnant humans build the red angel project to 1) demonstrate that humanity and other races can thrive without complete reliance on technology and 2) get buy-in from the 2255 Federation to take out control and reduce their reliance on AI.

This could connect a few pieces:
Dr. Daystorm's computer would be retconned to be much more dangerous in that the federation would reverse the decade of de-computerization.
Section 31 would have a reason to de disavowed.
The larger TOS-era crews relative to DISCO/the Cage could be needed to make up for the lower computing power.

Except the highlighted part of your post doesn't make sense...
The Red Angel Suit appears to be a Highest Form of Technology that those humans are RELYING ON to fix the problem.
:wtf:
 
Space Calvinism?

A lot of physicists - particularly those who don't embrace the many worlds hypothesis - argue that there is essentially no difference between the past and future, and the idea of time having a direction is a byproduct of how our consciousness is structured.

This is true.

On the other hand...

Anyone else notice the resemblance to a pair of starships? :
