Parallel Worlds pro et contra. Artur Zadikyan
out it's a world with opposite characteristics.
– Yeah, I'm thinking about it. But I don't really know how it's all possible yet.
– It all fits. If there's an antiproton, why isn't there an antiproton?
– Okay, it's not a big deal. Give me your candidates for the experiment. Where are they?
– You need to consider a few of the groups I have prepared. Just as far as the antiproton is concerned, it's very important. We don't know what worlds are out there. If we have found here with the help of science what was thought to be magic, that is, a substance with opposite qualities, the same antiproton, why not assume that everything is the same there, but at the same time a little different. For example, other understandings of the sensible. Like in a mirror: you see yourself – and everything seems to be normal. Or as with a thought and its illiterate translation into a text: everything is clear in your head, but in writing – only you alone can understand what you wanted to say, while for others it is full of mistakes and a set of words. Your test subjects need to know the science. They need to understand where they are going to end up. This will shape their thoughts – and consciousness will be different, that is, the effect of consciousness on the particles will be kind of intellectual. Consequently, the probability that they will end up in a similarly intelligent world will be high. Well, imagine if they end up in a wild bandit world. Can you imagine how that would affect us?
– Genius! I now recognize your power in intellectual thinking. Super!
– Trying my best for you," Irene conveyed a joyful cheerfulness in her voice intonation.
– Appreciate it," Ruthra smacked his lips together like a kiss. – And you say you've already found some groups? Are these people friends, connected?
– Yes. The most suitable group is close to you in mentality, spirit, moral values. People are united in interests by an intellectual game – everyone is on the same team.
– What's the name of the game?
– DB – "No Evidence."
– So you've already checked their metrics, done a survey and a questionnaire?
– Yes, I analyzed not only their past lives, but also evaluated their facial expressions and thoughts during the game – there are cameras there. In addition, the organizers and they themselves periodically record and post it online.
– And what do you make of the applicant for the lead role in the experiment?
– She fits many of the criteria. In addition, you need one more person to test the experiment on the ground.
– Have you picked someone up yet?
– Yes, I have found a suitable candidate for the Earth experiment. One, a single individual. Might be suitable for parallel worlds in the future. You don't have to take a group at once. The main thing is that people should become friends with you, trust and believe in you.
– That's not bad. I was hoping for a completely trusting relationship.
– You misunderstand me. Very trusting. You're sending a man to a place where it's a completely alien world. Yes, it's the same, but that's what makes it completely alien. You're right when you say the signal can change, transform. Accordingly, she – this woman – will also be a little different. And this, of course, shocks a person. When you enter into another body, as you and the doctor did, you can simply be dissatisfied with the alien shell, but here you are also in conflict with yourself.
– You know, what you said had a strong effect on me… You said it so… heartily, it gave me goosebumps. It's really a shock to feel like yourself, but at the same time to know that it's not your real body.
Ruthra mentally contacted a fellow scientist.
– Look, have you delved into the intricacies of the psychological state of our candidate for the experiment?
– Which one?
– Anybody. If you were to be possessed by someone like you in a parallel world, and there was a time shift…
– So what?
– Well, think about if you suddenly find yourself, but you're older. What if after a while you have to have surgery? What if you survive a catastrophe and become disabled?
– What if you're already dead? Ha-ha-ha-ha.
– That's a thought. We didn't think of that.
The doctor fell silent. From Irene Ruthre's emotional state was being transmitted. It was becoming agitated, nervous.
– Yeah, listen… What if our man there is already dead? Or should be dead! That would be even more catastrophic! He'd have to die here, too. But what's the chronology? Before or after?
– No way. We're sending a live person. You know what I mean.
– Got it.
– Irene's already got a group here. I'll work with them, then we'll discuss the details. I think we definitely need a psychoanalyst, especially for women.
– Dangerous play we made without experimentation.
– With an experiment. I will.
– On the phone.
– On the phone.
Ruthra passed out.
– Where are your nominations?
– In the meantime, I'll arrange for you to meet with one person, a man. I've already worked out a program.
– Spit it out.
– Can you buy me a coffee? – I could hear a playful note in the computer's voice.
– Yeah, let's talk about it.
To an outside observer, it would seem strange, but their relationship had already become a habit – a common tea or coffee party between a human and an artificial mind, which the human made to resemble himself. He molded it in his own image and likeness, endowed it with his manners and psychology. Accordingly, the artificial mind was artificial only in words, but in fact it was a real person.
Rutra walked to the balcony and from a height of 30 meters contemplated the artificial lake on the shore of which the inhabitants of the underworld were resting. A world 500 meters deep. It was grandiose only because everything was underground. Many stations were located deep in the oceans and seas. The station at the bottom of the Mariana Trench was a masterpiece of human thought. Though Ruthra sometimes doubted whether it was human, since it could still move.
– Ruthra, are you going to make your own coffee? – Irene asked.
– Yeah. Tell me what the catch is.
– There's no catch. I want to appear before you in the form of a holographic image of one of the people selected for the experiment.
– Uh-oh. And she likes a certain kind of coffee? Wait… just not her yet… Why would the man go first?
– My plan is for you to get to know him first, make friends with him.
– Tell the idea in full.
– I will introduce you to him through the mailing list as a coin dealer who is not very knowledgeable. He's an amateur numismatist. He likes to be listened to as an expert. You get the story. Coins you get original, rare enough. Since the main group I picked up from Russia – coins will be the time of the Russian tsars. In conversation with this man casually mention that you are interested in various riddles that you even tried to participate in an intellectual quiz. I will do everything properly, and he will find on the Internet mentions of your participation in the intellectual game, the questions you asked. At this point, he should invite you to join the team as it is not fully staffed yet. After you have played a couple of games, I will invite two more individuals who will be the main characters of our experiment.
– So how do you plan to do it?
– There's a certain Catherine on the team. I will enter her brain, adapting to her rhythm in her sleep, and there I will play out
