THIS IS A THREAD FOR NO MAN'S SKY ENTHUSIASTS. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS:

I haven't been following the theories on other sites although I have caught snippets here are there. If any NMS fan know of any sources we can draw upon then PLEASE feel free to donate! I only really started thinking more deeply about the game recently so I'm likely to have passed over many clues without knowing it, but it's becoming more apparent that there is more to the lore of this game than meets the eye. We know from data mining that there IS code in the game for the portals and the community are hard at work trying to figure out how to unlock them. We also know that those tiny and cute looking Gek are the villain of the piece and the Corvex were enslaved 'back in the day'.

Now onto things I've noted:

The messages we read in the derelict buildings are written in first person. What's more, they do not reflect what we are doing but rather what has been done. This suggests to me there's a time travel element in the game and that 'perhaps' those messages are left by ourselves to ourselves, something born out by the game loop having reached the supposed centre. We seem destined to repeat our mistakes until the riddle is solved. If we are indeed travelling through time as well as space, this could go some way to explain how two people can occupy the same space but not see each other. It's a well known trope of sci-fi and we all know Sean Murray loves 70s Sci-fi.

In the one and only portal video we've seen on a sandy and dead planet we see a particular flying creature. On entering the portal we see exactly the same creature but this time the planet is lush. Could this be another clue to the time travel element of the game? Do we pass through the portal to another 'era' on the same planet?

Going back to the derelict buildings, I recently read something that gave a theory of mine some validity. I can't remember the exact text (and never thought of taking a screenshot) but the gist of it was that the creatures we see on a planet were once other beings but are now transformed. Is this why some creatures appear 'normal' (native to the planet) and some creatures appear malformed, Frankensteins of the animal kingdom? In the building we'll sometimes find a broken glass cylinder in the centre of the room. We see tentacles and a strange pulsating fungi like lifeform. Is this genetic engineering? Is this what the text was talking about?

On the elements we see what we assume to be symbols for those elements, but they do bare a striking resemblance to planets with moons, something that wouldn't be out of place in NMS. I'm convinced the symbols have something in common with the planets and the colour of the background has something to do with the different coloured nebula. If anyone could post screenshots of each, that would be 'wonderful!'

There's more but I'm cream crackered at the moment. I know it's a little none specific but I've seen some people following flags and others seeing moth type human creatures when shining their torch into the derelict buildings. It's all up in the air at the moment and hopefully by people coming together we can gather more individual pieces to the puzzle.

I'm in agreement with a few NMS fans around the web: I do not think anyone has actually reached the centre yet. They are repelled because they have done something wrong. I'm holding off until this gets solves because there are limited Galaxies with legitimate names and the rest are randomly created like the planet names. I'd hasten a guess that if you pass through ALL of those deliberately named galaxies, you may never be able to solve it.

Something to watch in the meantime:

Will read into this a bit later, I am following the atlus path right now. I wonder if the true path to the centre involes the other other paths as well, there is for sure something hidden in the game. 

The problem is we'd have to take note of every message and be more observant. I was too busy just enjoying the game for what it was to consider the deeper message and now I've passed through lots of colour text.

Some reddit must exist, that can focus on the messages being given and trying to translate those messages.

Those cylinder stones where we learn words, once activated one side has a circle with a red tint and the other side a circle with a blue tint. Does this mean anything?

Yeah, but it's finding them and filtering through all the unecessary verbage.

I don't take anything for granted in this game any more, so it's worth noting in my opinion. It may not mean anything but you never know.

No, there are no Time-travel in this game at all, simply because Time-travel isn't real, the concept of time is made by man, we have a 24 hour cycle on earth but the cycle on another planet might be 12 hours or 80 days depending on the speed in the rotation of that particulare planet, so when your in a spaceship, the concept of time as we know in is no longer applied, just when we travel to another continent, we need to adjust our clocks to their time and that is the closest to Time-travel you or anyone else will ever get. 70s sci-fi had the same concept except from the Planet of the Apes, Dr.Who etc which it's entire plot is about Time-travel. Even if you went through a Dark Hole, if the most popular theories was true (We don't know) then we would not travel through time, we would skip the time it would take us to travel from one end of a galaxy to another like the "backdoor of Matrix like in Matrix second movie" So technically it's not Time-travel, it's skipping time of distance.
I have not seen anything that suggest that most of these theories are true. Let us look at the universe the same way as we know about Evolution and the eco-system on earth, we know that seeds can survive long-distance sea-travells without drowning, strand on a Beach and start growing and then imagine this in space, when a Planet implodes or explodes, it shoot spores of seeds and a lot of microscopical species that will instantly freeze and be sustained  out into space, strand and be introduced to another unknown planet, the surviving micro-life will start adapting to the enviroment and after billions of years to finally be big enough to be seen (There is plenty of Microscopical creatures we hate found that is impossible to destroy, not even space will kill it. Ofc if the conditions on that planet doesn't offer them a chance, they will die out if that planet isn't below Zero.

So basically you should not be surprised if close solar systems can have similare life, they can share the same source which have adapted differently from each-other at different stages in evolutional experimental growth.

But i do wonder way they couldn't see each, are they 100% sure to be at the exactly same place? this happens to me and friends in Elite Dangerous when we aren't on the same live-server.

I love going to the boarder with sweden, ir i cross the red line, i go one hour ahead and when i go back into Norway, i go one hour back in time. Yeah it sounds like something that isn't funny but it is if your with friends and are joking around.

But share what you find, it's still interesting.

Also i regret this comment already, i fear i might hade provoked someone who believe time-machines are real but the future just know that they can be seen by us... Based on som Photos which clothes looks modern and hearing-aid just happens to look a cell-phone.
