Quantum entanglement, or The destiny rock
Шрифт:
Now a little reminder of how. Here, for example, a computer turns a file into multiple copies. You don't know the technical details? It's no longer a surprise to you. It's kind of a matter of course. Now imagine a 3D printer that copies shapes, models. Now imagine a printer that makes food from prepared foods. Or a kitchen supercombine, a coffee machine, or a bread maker. Something like that. Imagine there is some substance from which to create a human being. Imagine transferring information, a program, from one machine, be it a smartphone, a computer or the like. Imagine that in the same way it can be transferred into a human being. After all, since childhood, learning, we do the same thing, only not quickly. Imagine that you have a chip in your brain, into which the entire "Wikipedia" has been pumped. Now imagine without the chip. Because when we learn, understanding is recorded somewhere. Here's your clone, and here's his consciousness at once. It's also possible to download information to you. All of it. Even what you have already forgotten. And then save it, create a clone when you die, and pump it into him. You're alive again.
Now a little bit about quantum entanglement. It's such an interesting thing. In simple words, it looks like this. For example, you've seen how a game of billiards starts. One ball smashes a bunch of collected balls. It's roughly how a neutron, a small particle, enters an atom and rips it apart. At the same time, those particles inside the atom start to rage, hoot, holler, yell, scream, fight, fuss, so that the noise becomes enormous. So it's a nuclear explosion. There are particles that are friends with each other. They're called entangled pairs. They sort of dance together. If you separate them and let them fly apart and catch them somewhere in a special installation, they secretly communicate with each other. They continue their circling. Only now in opposite directions to each other. If one is from right to left, the other particle is necessarily from left to right. And this is ironcladly inviolable. Always. You can use this to influence one particle to influence another. For example, if you make one particle change its property, then the other particle will recognize it in some unimaginable way. This instantaneous connection is something that no one can understand or determine. No matter how far apart they are, they understand each other instantly. Beyond the speed of light.
Here it is necessary to remind and explain a little bit. The point is that there is no speed higher than the speed of light in our world, in our material, and not only in the universe. That's the limit. And the famous formula E=MC2 says that if something reaches the speed of light, then E, which is energy, and M, which is mass, must be infinite. So the speed of light is only allowed for massless particles, like photons of light, radio waves, and something else. Although, though… how to say. There are a lot of contradictions in it. I mean, if something goes from one place to another, something goes there too. But we'll talk about that later. For now, about the properties of these particles, or rather, about the mystery of their correspondence.
So, Rutra and Parmenides decided: since one particle has its double, there are particles opposite to those of which our world consists, for example, antiproton, then there must be worlds in which these particles live. Or rather, worlds that are made up of these particles. After all, it is no surprise to any of us that our world is made up of the particles of which it is made up. So why shouldn't there be worlds where the antiproton and all the "anti's" are perfectly normal, especially these second particles of entangled pairs: they can go to unimaginable distances. So Rutra and his friend decided to find those worlds where they are masters. They decided to run these particles through the brain, having previously converted them into the form that the human consciousness had converted. This is if you take, for example, and by the story of a person, through another storyteller, imagine and draw a picture of what is being told. Or, for example, the story itself. Or, for example, to make something according to the available forms. That is, our consciousness is also such a multifaceted form of concepts. For example, if you are asked what God, culture, flower, beauty are, everyone will tell something very close, similar, but at the same moment – their own idea. And in the same way, if you tell a director about a character, saying that he was like this, then the director will demand from the actor behavior and manners according to his idea of the told person. Similarly, our consciousness: if it is transformed into rays, radiations, waves or some other forms, it can influence these particles in a certain way. And then one particle, transmitting its state changed by consciousness, makes it as it has become, as if transmitting a copy of consciousness. And there, entering another brain, it makes that consciousness a copy of this one. And in fact it turns out that the first consciousness, which influenced the particles, passed into that brain with their help. Everything could be done in a simpler way, but only on Earth, close by. But with the help of particles it is possible to transfer the state of consciousness, that is consciousness itself, to incredible distances instantly. Since these are particles, of which we are made up, among others, it is possible to enter the brain where they have become a copy. That is, an entangled pair of particles of a spoon entered (or created) the same spoon there, an entangled pair of an apple created an apple, and an entangled pair… or rather, billions and billions of pairs of which you are composed, created someone like you there. And all together a parallel world. So this is not enough, those particles that are emitted there – they also created a parallel world… and so in a circle, many worlds. Now you will take and read the theory of many-worlds of a clever man named Everett, and I will begin my artistic narration.
Chapter 1: Thought Collider.
– …We often read other people's stories, and we find them very interesting, romantic. However, when we need to tell about some of our impressions – we often cannot express our feelings, emotions; then we say that we do not have enough words. Exactly words, because other components that convey a picture of an event, mankind has… or does not have… or they are perceived even more individually. For example, instead of words there can be a picture, a movie, a theatrical performance, and sometimes just a look, a cry, a laugh. And now imagine if a person had such an opportunity – to transmit information not with words, but with other ways of communication, namely, only with feelings, in the sense of those that we have experienced, which we cannot describe to ourselves… which can only be experienced. And we could transmit them from the brain to the brain, so that the person to whom we were telling felt exactly what we felt… One day, thinking about this, about the technologies that were already in the secret laboratory where I work, the thought occurred to me that we humans often develop technologies if they serve us a certain purpose that was not originally set. For example, for war. Although in reality we are always dissatisfied with ourselves and the reality around us, yet this deep original feeling of instinct made us, the rulers of civilization. Although all living beings have this feeling. No matter how banal – it is the instinct of self-preservation. With the help of new technologies, we first of all want to protect ourselves. We want to protect ourselves, including ourselves as a civilization. Having received a certain guarantee of security, we began to live differently, differently from the animal world. We began a different life, a cultural life. Culture was the security that allowed us to take a step away from the wild world, which eventually allowed us to become the rulers of this world. Notice the connection: it was only by agreeing not to kill that we became rulers over the killers. That was the other life. Over time, however, we began to endow the concept of "life" with a meaning different from the physiological definition of the word. The same culture gave people not only an understanding of a certain way of behaving differently from animals – it began to characterize the quality of being in the human population itself. To put it simply, first of all, this life for us should be a continuous celebration, otherwise we say what kind of life it is. And we also want to make a monument out of life, to extend life after death in a peculiar way. This is also a kind of peculiar pleasure. That is why very often we use everything we think up for our own pleasure, and then we make a lot of other decisions based on it. Although we do not ask ourselves questions, do not introspect as human beings, it is not clear to us where our decisions come from, but nevertheless our consciousness gives us the answer that it is out of this desire for pleasure that we have created a lot of other desires. We have created a kind of show of life – holidays, rituals, customs, New Year presents, fashion. Our whole life is based on pleasure, in the center of everything is pleasure, ingeniously instilled in us by nature, by God. Because it is the only possibility for a living being to develop intellectually. And if someone says about the instinct of self-preservation, the thirst to survive as the engine of progress, the answer will be an argument – for the sake of what? The answer is for the sake of enjoying the existence of life as such. And the crown of all this is the pleasure of reproduction. And now let us turn to intelligence. Very often outstanding scientists substantiate peculiar hypotheses and assumptions about the emergence of reason, intelligence. And from the point of view of our reasonableness – everything seems to be logical. But if we look at everything not from the human's point of view, but from the point of view of some other creature, which does not know the human way of life, for example, a robot, or more precisely, an artificial intelligence, how will it characterize us, humans? It will study us in terms of science, not in terms of morality, spirituality or feelings. In fact, intelligence is just a peculiar ability of the brain to reproduce recorded, put together in the most necessary combination, experienced, received, remembered actions. That is to say, all our feelings, our intelligence, everything we understand, are reactions in the brain to this or that stimulus. With the help of the central nervous system and the whole body. Suppose you once ate some fruit, it was very tasty, many, many years have passed – and you can't remember the taste anymore. Why not? Because your brain cannot reproduce the chemical reaction of that flavor. And in the same way, we forget a lot of things. It's often the case that memory is erased. Erases what? It's erased by this reaction in the brain. The brain doesn't have the capacity to hold all the possible options. Initially, when man left the animal society, it was this mutation, the developed properties and proportions of the human body that turned out to be the most optimal for the chemical reaction in the brain to become permanent and repeatable, with the possibility of continuing to record the next reaction. It is like an adaptation of the body to its surroundings. If fish did not fixate on mutation and consequently develop adaptations to life outside of water, life in water would have remained. If we, having invented a calculator, could not transform it into a computer, we would not be able to go into space. If our minds could not exist outside the body, we would not see other worlds, or even find them at all. And all of this is woven into a code of the universe where everything matters. Everything, starting from the state of the charge level of particles in an atom, the magnetic field, the light of the sun, the influence of gravity, the totality of the systems that make up the universe. It all converged into some central point that became optimal for human existence. It turned out to be the most optimal to make one more reaction in the brain than all other living things. That was the great step of intelligence across the universe. Nature had experienced this millions, billions of times. So many different creatures have been born on Earth, but none have reached the point where the brain can reproduce the same reaction continuously, with the next action memorized and a new repetition. So that it can memorize and reproduce twice. It's like in science: a discovery is considered scientific if it can be reproduced twice and is refutable. In the survival variant, animals have developed other abilities to survive. A dog, for example, has a sniff, an eagle has eyesight, a moth can sense its female at a distance of several kilometers. And so on. We can give many examples, for example, how birds migrate by navigation and so on. One animal relied on memory, reproduced one action, then a second action was attached to it, then a third, fifth, tenth, and then repeated one after another – and until now we are developing, cognizing and repeating. In this way we build the pyramid of the building of intelligence; someday, perhaps in 100 years, perhaps in 1,000, the present knowledge and achievements will be primitive to us. We build the building of science – from school to institute and so on, we adopt knowledge from each other, reproduce it and constantly look for new knowledge, and then reproduce it again. We do not develop in ourselves any other abilities, for example, such as those of animals. To survive, we constantly develop science first of all, and then we use it to defend ourselves from predators, from viruses, from radiation.....
Ruthra was silent for a moment, looking around the audience, they were quite awake, so he decided to continue without resting.
– Now we come to the main topic. This is the way of thinking I decided to create a new device that would transmit the feelings experienced. To be more precise, it could be used to feel what someone else's body feels. The technology is again based on chemical reactions of the brain, which need to be recorded and then reproduced in another brain. It's a revolutionary technology that I developed while I was still in the underground lab at CERN. At the Center for Nuclear Research. It's based on two simple things. In fact, we think it's very complicated. When, for example, there was no electricity, it was difficult for us to understand all these technologies that now exist thanks to it. Today, what was once a miracle is absolutely commonplace for us. When, let's say, there is a live broadcast on television, even from a space station. In the laboratory, I developed a technology for scanning and transmitting what is recorded in the brain, that is, memory, and everything else that is called subconsciousness. Simply put, the stuff that makes your personality individual. Recording your consciousness, storing it, with the ability to process and rewrite it from a computer to another brain. Magic? It's actually very simple to do. Cloning is already known to mankind. Everyone remembers Dolly the sheep and many more. It's illegal to clone humans, but secret labs have been working on it. The difficult thing is the rapid growth of a cloned body. Fast cloning was achieved by a method that was used in animal husbandry, for example, to grow broiler chickens. Genetic engineering can be applied at the same time. It is possible to apply the technology of genetic modification and produce a person with appropriate properties, pre-set growth, eye color, strength, intelligence, even awareness of the thoughts of another person. It is only necessary to be able to decipher the signals of chemical reactions in the brain. After all, it is no surprise to us when we translate some of our body parameters into a familiar method of understanding. For example, the way our kidneys work is by urine; the way our heart works is by electrocardiogram. We can also trace the brain's reactions, identify them, and try to reproduce them. This is the kind of thing I have reproduced technically. The technology allows the brain to take and reproduce the reactions that were in the one from which the recording is taken. The same feelings, the same memories that we originally took and recorded using the formula. As I said above, everything we make up translates into pleasure. We can't bring the technology of cloned bodies to the masses yet. In fact, it is a method that gives people eternal life. You can clone your body, set certain parameters, and you will be the same age all the time. This does not mean that people will stop wanting to have children.
There was a "wave" of light chatter in the pulpit. Ruthra was silent for a moment, giving them a chance to exchange brief conclusions.
– Yes, of course I was thrilled. Or rather, we were thrilled. This is the work of a group of scientists, even if the basic idea and the method developed is mine. It was epic. You can write down your memory and transfer it into a clone. That's why it's still illegal to mass produce this technology. I should remind you. I was part of an organization, a secret clan of scientists that I initiated myself. This clan of scientists created a technology to control human consciousness, and through the management of neural networks, spread its influence on everything that happens on Earth. Secretly, of course. So we created a semblance of invisibility, the so-called secret threads of humanity's control. That is, no one can find us, as we can influence through people's consciousness on the media, on intelligence, on special services, on the government. It may seem fantastic and even ridiculous to you, but in fact it is also very simple. When you are told, you hear. You are given a task – you do it. Have you ever asked yourself why you did this or that deed, why you made this or that decision? Sometimes they even say: I heard a voice from the sky, so I did this or that. Although no one denies the reality of the so-called inner voice. Perhaps a humorous saying is related to this: if you talk to God, it is normal, but if God talks to you, it is schizophrenia.
The audience smiled a little, a couple of ladies giggled.
– So, why not allow technology where directly the information has to enter your brain and trigger certain thoughts. What are thoughts? They are actually electronic and chemical processes converted into waves. And in fact the control of that is what is most secret, secret. Perhaps aliens have had this technology for a long time, created our world, and made it most secret so that our brains don't get information about this method of communication… and generally things they don't need. As soon as our brains start thinking about something that is dangerous to them – they influence in such a way that our brains either stop and can't think about it, or can't think of it. I'm exaggerating a bit, but the point is clear. Isn't it?
The hall fell silent approvingly. Some nodded.
– Let's assume that everything is clear. Now let's turn to the topic "How to decipher thoughts, how to understand thoughts, how to control thoughts". How can we decipher thoughts and influence thoughts, put information into a person's brain in such a way that he/she will have given thoughts? To make it easier to understand, let's say we can do the following – give a person a medicine or some kind of drug… or some other physical, electromagnetic way to influence a person, such as hypnosis. Let's think of the secret MK-ULTRA program that was conducted at the CIA. This is a program, under which the test subjects were given special preparations, special drugs, with the help of which they could put a person into a special state, like a coma, and then learn anything from him. They could program them, hypnotize them to do certain things. The same way you can affect the brain. To make it give birth to the given, programmed thoughts. This is how you can control man and mankind. And now we come to the main theme of our narrative. I tell everyone the same story, that is, I give introductory scientific information, because without it you cannot understand our technologies. Technologies with the help of which all this is real, all this is realizable. What I'm going to tell you next is what you're going to participate in. So. The thing is, among other things, there was another secret technology. Here I have to make a little digression and talk about some of the other paradoxes of our world. Paradox one. That is, it is not really a paradox as such… but a paradox of sorts nonetheless. Each of us sees and understands the world in our own way. No matter how we perceive the Sun, it is still one concept for us, but still everyone has different associations. This applies to cold, joy and grief. Now let's take the bacteria and microbes inside us. We are a kind of universe to them. They don't understand that we are born and die at all. We didn't know they existed until recently, either. What do you think of the discovery of a new world? Somehow it is believed that, having discovered, having found aliens… or they us… we should make contact… in human terms of this word. Or perhaps – they have life in an intelligent entity that inherently cannot communicate with us. For example, the same microbes we consider unintelligent, yet they live both before we were born and after. Even suspecting their existence, we do not know how many of them are born and die during the course of a day. Some of them help us to live, they are necessary, others are harmful – and we mercilessly destroy them. It can be interpreted in another way – to associate us with the planet, where the population lives, and we as gods influence them. And perhaps our actions are perceived by these bacteria as natural phenomena… or as God's grace with the punishment of heaven. If there are more of them, they begin to harm: we threw soldiers in there in the form of medicine. It got colder – we dressed warmer, strengthened, let's say abstractly, the ozone layer. And now let's move to the universe in the natural way. Let's visualize the size of the universe. Let's say you have to go all the way around our globe. We won't count how long you have to walk, but it's a long time. Now, let's imagine a straight, flat road along the equator, you're in a car. If you drive the car at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, then in a week you will make a circle around the Earth. Now, we're going to send light around that circle. Now, the light will travel that path seven and a half times in one second. In seven and a half days, you'll make that path in a car, and light will make 7.5 laps in a second. If we transfer to other distances, cosmic distances, to understand better, I'll continue the examples: light travels just over 8 minutes to the Sun, and light travels over 150 million kilometers to the Sun. In fact, it is correct to say that light from the Sun to us reaches us in about 8 minutes. So the light we see now is the light on the Sun 8 minutes ago. Now imagine the connection. After all, radio waves travel at the same speed too. You get the idea? Now imagine you're saying hello to a friend who lives on a neighboring star.
Ruthra repeated his already-accepted obligatory move. He was silent, giving the audience a chance to convert the thoughts he'd thrown at them into thought-forms that everyone could understand.
– Did you send it? Now tell me – how many seconds are there in a year? No, no," he said hurriedly, noticing a few raised palms, "I don't factually want to know. No. I'm giving you an extra ingredient for thinking. By the way, it occurred to me, I remembered, an interesting saying: is mush in the head food for the mind?
