History of the future
Very often in life we think whether we need to know "it". Having decided that we don't, later we find ourselves in a situation, perhaps tragic, when we needed this knowledge, but we will never know about it, alas, because we did not get this knowledge once. This is the paradox.
Let's imagine that you and I are doing an experiment; it requires ingredients, including the achievements of science, i.e. theories, hypotheses, precise data. For example, if we were to prepare a dish, we would need ingredients, i.e. the same ingredients. Here, too, you and I will make an experiment, still mental, virtual, in imagination, a flight to distant worlds. Let's talk and discuss whether it is possible, and if it is possible, then how. Imagine yourself an inhabitant of the ancient world, with whom they discuss the possibility of flights into space. Now transfer this to a discussion about flying to distant worlds. Create a virtual parallel of what was magical and became real to what is considered magical and unreal now. Because we will dive into science, into the grandiose infinite world around us, discuss the prospects of cloning, copying consciousness and rewriting it into a clone, and most importantly… flights of this very consciousness to distant worlds. Worlds which, according to my belief, which I substantiate as the theory of infinity, should be… and must be an exact copy of our world. Although, according to the same theory, there must be many that are both slightly and much different from ours.
When people used to ask me what my books were about, I tried to explain in detail at least the essence of what I was writing about, but eventually I realized: it is useless to explain algebra to a first-grader, or matrix and linear functions to a person who knows the basics of algebra. He must first learn and understand these basics. Among other things, books of non-fiction genre exist for this purpose. That is why I began to answer later: I write wonderful books.
One of the examples of dialogues, which I have reflected, including in artistic form, I will give here. And also, my dear interlocutor, I will say that my memory is good… perhaps yours is better, so many things will not be new to you, but I have memorized many things by heart. Tell me, I couldn't have made it all up, I didn't dream it up, it wasn't written into my brain. However, I will say that this book is not for those who want to get scientific knowledge. You know where to get them, respectively, and read it will be those who need scientific knowledge. Here we will plunge into the amusing world of facts of science, the magnitudes of the vast cosmos, waiting for our conquest of the universe, as well as a possible variant of our existence in the future.
My dear reader, to listen to you, I will have a discussion, a dialog with you. Sorry, I will address you both in you and in you, you will be both a man and a woman. The worlds are parallel. I hope you get the point. So, let's get started.
Chapter 1. That is the beginning
Few people know that the theory about the existence of many worlds, which are copies, consequence or consequence of our world, is studied scientifically and there are quite logical hypotheses. One of them is faced by a human being at each of his actions: the state of the world now and in infinity depends on how we act. So people change the world they live in, and only because they know only the one they feel, they consider it to be the only real one. If at the moment of choosing some action several of us would appear and each of us would act differently, and then after a huge period of time all of us would meet and tell what the world has become depending on that action – then we would be able to comprehend parallel worlds in reality. Now we can only rejoice (or regret, depending on the result) what happened, or suppose what would have happened if we had managed to do something differently then, in the past.
What if you wanted to realize your life's dream, namely, flying to distant worlds? Not just to space, but to those very distant worlds that most people not only don't know about, but don't even believe in. After all, for us to believe in the existence of life (especially intellectual life) in the cosmos is akin to the feeling of a humanoid, wild creature that has realized its superiority over the animal world. It was the realization of one's status as an intelligent human being that was the sense of grandeur that gave rise to god. A god. Only an intellectually evolved being could want an intellectual parent – something greater by all accounts. Only that could have been the impetus for the development of anything whose basis was intelligence. And no matter how diverse and comprehensive the intellect changed – everything was not enough for it. That is why he was always transforming his gods, making them what he wanted to strive for. And with time he became disappointed in himself, and the gods he invented became irrelevant, "inanimate", unreal. Then the society was thrown into chaos, and in time common sense and new ideals were forged in this flame of cruelty and mercy, which led the intellect, helping to overcome the wild animal instincts and passions. Very often we receive signals that can move us to action, but not everyone sees them, hears them, feels them, and many do not want to, ignore them, more often because of the fear of responsibility before the unknown. Except that most people believe in God, which, in fact, is a symbol of the unknown, mystery, although it is personified by faith in the hope of his love for us and hope in the faith of help and salvation of us by our love for him. The unity and struggle of opposites very often lead us into confusion and are the fault of indecision. But the brave take fortresses. And if word and idea are added to it, the fortress will fall without sacrifice. Society will accept a new god: otherwise it not only has no one to defend itself against, but it sees this new god as its defense now.
Chapter 2: Immortality
If you aspire to the distant, and even not especially, space, the formula E=MC2 will first of all get in your way. And all because it limits the possibilities of mankind. According to this contradictory and controversial (including the authorship) formula – bodies with mass cannot reach the speed of light, otherwise the energy must be infinite, and massless particles (there are such) can, but no more. So, at the speed of light you fly to the Moon (+/-300,000 km) one second, to the Sun (150,000,000 km) already more than 8 minutes. The Sun is our star, and there are up to 400,000,000,000,000,000,000 of them in our galaxy alone (not the largest). The diameter of our galaxy is over 100,000 light years. Imagine how many seconds that is. Even if we reach the speed of light for human flight (which is incredible and contradicts all the laws of physics), it will take us more than 4 years to fly to the nearest star system in the constellation of Centauri (and back the same amount of time). To say that we, even overcoming all the laws of physics, can fly around at least our galaxy (to our neighbor, the Andromeda Nebula, 2,520,000 light years away) is still impossible!
First, we need to realize no less ambitious and grandiose idea, very original, fateful for mankind, incredible, but in fact, it turns out, has a very simple solution. It is only necessary to give immortality to mankind. This incredible and seemingly unfeasible idea is solvable in one quite simple way. It is a very simple solution, even on a physiological level. It's grandly simple. All you have to do is perfect the method of uploading your consciousness. First, record yours, then download it into a cloned body. Cloning has already been invented. And storing and downloading information into tangible media. And what should we do, even if we can't get it directly into the brain, put it into a chip implanted in the brain. Something like this – implanting a chip in the brain – is already being done. It's much harder to overcome the speed of light.
Chapter 3: Infinity has everything
Everything that can be imagined exists. Otherwise it cannot be imagined. The idea of the world is in the brain, in representations. The many-worlds interpretation, or the Everett interpretation, is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that assumes the existence (in a sense) of "parallel universes", in each of which the same laws of nature operate and which are characterized by the same world constants in different states.
The scientific community does not need to be told about the scientific background of the theory of multiple worlds. It is for the average person such things are perceived as fantasy, because not everyone knows that there is a scientific justification for the existence of parallel worlds. There are several explanations, among which are the Copenhagen interpretation, Everett's many-worlds interpretation and other similar ones. The bottom line is that the scientific community is studying this issue, so you should not take it lightly. It is better
