By transmitting consciousness through the influence of one particle on its copy, you can achieve the main goal – to overcome great distances. After all, even if you fly at the speed of light, i.e. 300,000 kilometers per second, you will pass our galaxy only in a circle for 327,000 years. That's if you go in one outer circle, and there are about 400,000,000,000,000,000 stars in it, except for the planets. It will take you 2,551,000 years to get to the nearest galaxy at this incredible speed. And to the known edge of the universe – is about 46,000,000,000,000 years, not to mention other universes whose existence is in doubt. So, the second advantage of this technology is that, in addition to the instantaneous transfer of the state of one particle to another, these particles find each other. That is, they do not fly anywhere, or rather, they transfer their state knowing in advance the entangled pair. This can be compared to the way a glass lens and electrical signals preserve your appearance, voice and instantly transmit to the other side of the earth. It would have been magic once too, tell anyone such a thing, even Archimedes himself.
Here I need to give a small clarification about the size of the universe. The size of the observable universe due to its expansion depends on which definition of distance one adopts. The associated distance to the most distant observable object, the surface of the last relic scattering, is about 14 billion parsecs, or 14 gigaparsecs (46 billion light years) in all directions. Thus, the observable universe is a ball about 93 billion light-years in diameter and centered in the solar system (the observer's location).
And now let's think about what would happen if something like this were to happen someday, like a space flight now, and the consciousness would not return to the original body, but would remain there, in that body… and would remember the original body. That is, the consciousness is from here, from the Earth. After all, there were and are scenarios when astronauts cannot return to Earth. In the case of other worlds, there's a time frame to consider. If even the very influence of particles and, consequently, the transfer of consciousness is fast, the time when the consciousness will live there will not necessarily be proportional to the Earth time. In this case it is logical to send a child, a teenager, who will have time to correct the failure in the system. Time to live there while fixing here, or even cooler, because the world should be identical, so maybe he will grow up and fix the failure in the system there. These are the paradoxes that await us when implementing such a method.
Although… depending on what kind of failure. It will be almost impossible to influence the processes "out there" from here. It will be impossible to guess exactly what a person will encounter. Perhaps the world will be an exact copy with minimal differences, for example, the test subject will like something there that he was deprived of on Earth. Or perhaps – the air, the sun, the seasons… everything will be the same, only the circumstances, the living conditions will be different. Maybe there this person will find himself in other relationships with people, will go to another school, will learn another profession, the story of love will be successful or unsuccessful. After all, the basic idea is that these worlds, in fact, can not be completely different. It is only in fantasies they are different. And in idea – life can be born only in similar conditions as ours. As for the differences… there are already differences. Just look closely at how different we all are. All inhabitants of the planet.
If we look even more deeply at the ordinary things that seem to us to be incredibly complex and unsolved mysteries, they can also be simple. For example, the miracle of life. Agree, both living matter and non-living matter have a common basis: everything around us consists of molecules. Only in living matter these molecules are united in a certain chain of signal transmission; guided by a running algorithm, they copy themselves using the whole environment. This algorithm, its launching, is the mystery.
However, all secret things come to light at some point. Since life is born from life, perhaps the "inanimate" brain signals that give birth to the mind are this algorithm that builds molecules into a system of relationships, intelligently copying each other as a whole. Imagine, with this technology it will be possible to calculate the code of human mind, that is, the way we think, transform it, direct it with a beam in space to the target and, affecting the molecules, put them together in a living cell, and then create a reasonable being. Then, already being the source of its thought, compel it to do what is necessary. You will say – fantastic, but I will tell you: if rays, for example, radiation can knock down the "bricks" of life and destroy the organism, why should not there be a mechanism that collects them into a structure that can independently copy its own similar? After all, the action of creating something, the same painting, sculpture, writing a program for a computer, or even the process of conception, is also the transformation of thought into action. It is a certain set of influences of one thing on another. Pay attention – each separate unit of DNA code is inanimate, but the whole is the main cell of life. In fact, this technology will make it possible to create a reasonable person out of a creature without intelligence and, practically taking possession of it, to control with the help of thoughts that supposedly spontaneously came into his head, to realize any actions that this creature could afford physically (and even more). First, it would become real to influence inanimate matter… and life could be created. Even if primitive, it will still be a sensation. Secondly, the already created life can be brought to such intellectual stuffing that will create everything, including space technology. That is, being in the consciousness of this new man, literally being his personality, it is possible to create a civilization.
A child in the role of a little astronaut is logical and not logical at the same time. Such a grandly risky and ingenious idea would be a difficulty even then if it were a matter of conventional spaceflight in a real human body. The human-launched Voyager 1 spacecraft reached the limits of the solar system in 35 years. For interplanetary flights, if we overcome radiation, it will be relevant within the solar system. But it takes 40,000 years to fly to the nearest star. In that case, we can't even on Earth predict events. The child (or children) must grow up in flight, gain a base of knowledge and experience, complete the mission, and return healthy, sane, even if old. Flying to the stars, even at superluminal speeds, takes a long time for a person whose life in the timeline is but a blink of an eye for eternity. A light speed of 300,000 kilometers per second is grandiose for earthly distances, but impossible for earthlings, according to the formula E=MC2. It is impossible for material objects at all. Only that which has no mass, i.e. light, radio waves, can travel at this speed. And now pay attention! Even if it were ten times the speed of light, it's still negligible for cosmic distances. Imagine a billion years. Even if you fly not ten, but a hundred thousand times faster than the speed of light – you will not have enough human life on Earth, even, perhaps, the life of civilization to reach the limits of the universe.
Chapter 7. Flight of Reason
Infinity has everything in it, yes. And if we have presented an infinity where there is everything but no repetition of this moment, which is now happening, then it means only one thing: we have presented a still limited infinity. Difficult? Unbelievable? Einstein wasn't understood by everyone either, even in the scientific community. Someone
