Parallel Worlds pro et contra. Artur Zadikyan
think it all happens before, in the world from which we are mirrored. Or even more precisely, in the world from which the world from which we are reflected is reflected.
– Interesting. Now it's all lining up in a chain. So you want to send a man down there to make a difference? Make that world safe first?
– Exactly.
– If you say such a thing to someone, it's just the finish line. Although if we imagine, say, even in the developed Roman Empire, modern capabilities, such as determining gender in the womb, the ability to make medical diagnoses, launching satellites to detect natural disasters, supersonic flight, and flight in general, it would be something equally incredible. With all of this, it would be possible to change a reality that has not yet come to pass.
– Now, to be honest, that's not what's on my mind right now. We need to actually try an experiment. Here's my proposal. First, we conduct everything in Earth conditions, with us and our trusted assistants participating. Second, let's try the Earth-to-space option. Third, let's launch someone into these parallel worlds.
– What if we get in the wrong place?
– According to my calculations, we can't get to the wrong place. The entangled pair… that is, the second part of that pair is already there, so the path is already there. Some kind of route line. So the change signals sent from here will be reflected there. Don't you get my idea? The system works like a flashlight and the area it illuminates. The flashlight sends out a beam and it's there instantly. We generate these particles here, and their entangled pairs are already there. They're not wandering around somewhere. These worlds are really interconnected.
– I wish I could figure out how.
– Yeah, that's the whole question. Even you and I can't understand how it can happen between coupled pairs. How they pass on their condition to each other....
The doctor exhaled heavily.
– Let's give it a shot. Draw a plan.
– Okay, I'm running Irene to find a candidate based on the criteria we need. By the way, we need to discuss them with psychologists and such. The criteria themselves. I'll tell you my requirements. I originally thought of sending a boy of about 5-10 years old. If something goes wrong during our experiment, the child would grow up during this time, maybe become a "luminary of science" like you, and then create a similar installation and return back… or, if there was a catastrophe there, at least be able to come up with a similar technology, as we have, and develop a theory of displacement. But now I'm of a different opinion. I'll send a lady, determined, ambitious, not without a desire for scientific advancement. She can, in case of emergency, give birth and prepare a child. Then we have even more time. Even if the worlds are the same, it doesn't mean there's no variant of reflection warp… I've calculated the possible probability of a warp connection between these electrons in flight. It's all God knows where. Through the universe, like soil, ocean, volcano, wild animals, war, disease, cold, heat, go through the universe and not change? No way. You know what I mean? The signal will get into the field of influence of radiation, and quasars, and black holes, and gravity of galaxies… A minimal change there – and here it will be not a slap, but a shot from a cannon. A kiss there and a carnival there, a quarrel there and an international scandal there. After all, let's say that the same statement can be transmitted to another person, for example, with a changed intonation, and the perception, and consequently the emotional state, will be different. Correspondingly, the action from the received signal may be different as well.
– I understood you a long time ago. That is, someone said "I wish him dead" to someone, and a third person passed it on: "This person is going to kill you, he wishes you dead".
– Something like that. Or a girl smiles – and you've already decided that she wants you, ready to marry you.
They grinned again. The scientist decided to give his version:
– What if it's the other way around?
– Also an option.
– Let's do it this way: you are engaged in the search for a candidate, moral and moral preparation and, of course, the scientific side, you will not be only among the female students of the physics department to look for a candidate, and I'm the technical part.
They again "diluted" a serious topic with laughter.
– Let's go.
– Grapefruit juice and chess tonight.
– The fighting will be fierce.
– Uh-oh.
Chapter 9. We choose, we are chosen....
They said goodbye. Ruthra went to his room. On the way out, he asked Irene:
– Did you listen to the dialog?
He knew, of course, that she was listening and taking notes. He asked more out of habit, because the manner of dialog typical of humans was different. And it had been developed over millennia. Now the appearance of a new interlocutor, moreover, exactly the same as a human, except for the body, could not change this established manner. The AI was already perceived as a friend, comrade, employee, colleague, subordinate, advisor.
– Yeah, like always.
– What do you say to the idea of picking a lady?
– I approve. I already did.
Ruthra paused.
– How?
– I only had about 8 billion people to go through. And with your recommendations, it's less than a billion. And if we take into account the combination of connections and relationships in these connections, then very few people fit the criteria.
– Under what criteria?
– You said it before. There should be a woman whose advice would be listened to by the second one, that is, a friend with a similar way of thinking, with experience and moral qualities. Another friend also with similar parameters…so again, both with experience and moral qualities. There must be a kinship in ethical, moral, spiritual parameters. Accordingly, in age, in religion, in nationality. In addition, there should be a man who understands technical and scientific issues. Women should know him well and treat him with respect, as the eldest of the group.
– To the head of the group? Why?
– If one of them is the eldest in the group, it will lead to conflict later on. Each of them has to play their own role. They should accept their roles from the beginning and treat them as a given. For example, according to your plan, one woman will be in charge of the experiment. You are going to send one to the parallel worlds, aren't you?
– The plan is one for now, and then we'll see how it goes. We don't know anything yet. For example, if we put one of our ladies in one of our friends here. It turns out that now she has to know the previous dialogues with her friends here at our place. And so, it turns out that all of them are strangers for this woman, who should be influenced there.
– Perhaps probabilistic modeling in a virtual world will help to understand things better.
– There's nothing to understand. In the virtual world, she will not know whether people are strangers or not. It is necessary to prepare her morally and instill in her the perception of that world as a stranger. And how? If everything is the same?
– So it needs to be prepared in astronomy. After all, even if the sky, planets and stars are similar, it will be a different night sky altogether.
– That's right! You're a smart girl. I've been thinking about it, but for a different reason. I want to determine the coordinates of where this world is. We don't even know where it is.
– Why, it may be possible to find out.
– How's that?
– From all the probabilities you have suggested, from all the calculations you have put into me, I have come to the conclusion that it is not in our universe. It can't be within one system, even
