In Avengers: Endgame, how does past Nebula have access to the memories of Nebula in the future timeline?



Best Answer

I don't recall the exact wording but there are TWO Nebulas (Past Nebula & Present Nebula) in 2014 (when Present Nebula travels back in time).

They share a common (quantum?) "network" in 2014 (I think that was the term) so Past Nebula has access to Present Nebula's memories and can display them to Thanos.

Think "Galactic Wifi"...they can share data because they are on the same network and frequency but only when they are both in the same time.

How did past Nebula see the future?

In Avengers: Endgame, future Nebula goes back in time to bring into effect the Avenger's plan. The minds of past and future Nebula are connected by quantum entanglement (maybe). So past Thanos gained access into future Nebula's mind via past Nebula's mind to see the future plan of the Avengers.

How did Nebula have enough Pym particles?

Instead of having to duplicate Pym Particles, all Thanos had to do was duplicate the time GPS so Nebula had a signal to lock on to (since presumably she needed hers to return to 2023).

How did Nebula open the portal?

The point being that if you've got Pym Particles, you can time travel. No Pym Particles, no time travel. So, Past Nebula and has a single Pym Particle (formerly belonging to Present Day Nebula) to travel back to present day to open the Quantum Realm portal for her dad Thanos also in the past.

Does Nebula have a human brain?

The monitor shows Thanos probing her brain to get access to her memories.

Answer 2

Some sort of quantum entanglement I guess. There is a paradox in physics called the EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen). It is like spins of particles and stuff. I'm not going into details because my knowledge here is limited.

But, that is the idea in Avengers: Endgame. Because essentially, Nebula is an alien artifical intelligence and so her "components" possibly semiconductors behave exactly like quantum physics "tells" it to. Of course, all these possibilities are only possibilities. They need not even be so - since quantum physics as we know it is probabilistic in its current understanding.

Answer 3

Large portions of Nebula have been replaced with cybernetics. It's not really that the two Nebulas "share" this cybernetic neural network - it's that the two cybernetic neural networks are identical, but one is older. Present Nebula wasn't aware that going to the past would result in this security breach presumably because Thanos would have been the one fully aware of the changes he had made to her.

The presence of two Nebulas within the same time period results in both Nebulas picking up interference off each other.
