The thymus gland has the ability to slow down the body's biological clock. This tiny immune organ does serious work to rejuvenate the entire body.
I'll remind you. It seems absurd and fantastic at first glance, but it's much simpler than that. Cloning is no longer a secret. Rapid growth of the organism was achieved with the help of technologies long used in animal breeding, and the transfer of consciousness, which although it seems incredible and miraculous transmigration of souls, is actually a technique of launching pre-scanned, recorded in a special program of chemical reactions of the brain.
Further on in the novel, scientists are presented with an even more fantastic, improbable idea: to send the recorded digitized memory through interactions of entangled pairs to distant space. Now I will tell you how it can be done from the scientific point of view. It is realistic to realize entangled pairs communication, it is scientifically called quantum entanglement. That is, while our technology does not allow such a possibility, but the idea itself is quite real. In the novel, this technology was used to send as if a person's consciousness, so to check whether it worked or not, you could only when this very consciousness returned to the original body, that is, to learn about everything from the person personally. There was certainly a risk of its non-return. And in reality there would be that too. At least in the initial experiments. In fact, it will be something comparable to the first human flight into space. Was there a risk of Gagarin's death? Of course there was! Is there a risk for astronauts going into space to die even now with all the advanced technology? Of course there is!
Such technologies for transferring consciousness from one brain to another are already being conducted in secret laboratories. Let's remember the MK-Ultra program, which was conducted by the CIA. In a nutshell: in this program, "zombification" and personality substitution took place with the help of psychotropic substances and hypnosis. The program was super-secret, and after it was so classified that it was officially declared closed. Such experiments were conducted in many countries, including the USSR. And it began, at least officially so it is known, with Nazi Germany.
Of course, you won't find official information in open sources, and as for closed sources I can't refer to documents. Therefore, I will give general information where and what. Although this general information already indicates that work is being carried out and, of course, the results are classified. Even within the framework of preserving know-how. You understand the advantage of this. If you perform cloning and transfer consciousness there.
Here's an example from public sources.
The Human Brain Project (HBP) is a large human brain research project founded in 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland. The project involves hundreds of scientists from 26 countries and 135 partner institutions. The HBP project is unprecedented in its scale and the largest in the history of human brain research, with a budget of 1.6 billion dollars.
Similar projects have been launched in the US (BRAIN Initiative), China (China Brain Project) and Japan (Brain/MINDS).
Scientists have been able to transfer human consciousness (though not completely) into a computer. Now researchers are trying to upload human consciousness not only into a computer, but also into another human organism.
There is a lot of information about such works, conducted in the USSR, already in open sources. In her interviews and partially in her book "Brain Magic and Labyrinths of Life" academician Natalya Bekhtereva tells about such works carried out in secret research institutes in the USSR. Back in the days of the Soviet Union, being a secret communicator, I myself knew about such works directly from telegrams marked "top secret". And from negotiations even more "frank" information. Here I should specify that I heard similar and more incredible information in negotiations, of course, in a closed network, not from the military, but directly from the employees of secret research institutes, because I was at the facility where they were testing new types of weapons. And the scientists talked about everything they were working on. So, according to them, this technology in the USSR was developed by a secret academician, who after an unauthorized test on himself died. There was, of course, and another version, which was put forward by colleagues: the academician transferred his consciousness into a younger employee, and made his body dead. A brilliant alibi.
Chapter 5. Tangled Couples
Now let's get to the fact that the reality of what we are going to speculate about is taken on faith. We do, after all, believe in the atom, god, dark matter, the human soul, and many such things. Or at least partially in any of these and similar things.
So believe that there is everything in infinity. And do not forget my main postulate: if you said "not everything", it means that you have presented a minuscule part of this eternity. Therefore I declare that these parallel worlds really exist, moreover they are an exact copy of ours. I will cite quantum teleportation as proof. Since not all my dear readers understand subtleties of this process, I will make detailed explanations.
Let me explain how it can be. In physics, quantum teleportation is a very real thing. What is it? It is a transfer of quantum state of an electron, i.e. a tiny particle, of which, however, our world and we ourselves consist. So, it is a transfer of particle states over a distance by means of a coupled (or entangled) pair separated in space.
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which the states of two (or more) particles appear to be interdependent. For example, it is possible to receive a pair of particles which are in an entangled state, i.e. connected with each other as if by kinship ties, and then if at measurement of a regular circle, let's say, of the first particle the helicity turns out to be positive, then the helicity of the second particle will always be negative and vice versa. Such interdependence is always preserved even if these objects are separated in space beyond any known interactions. So, logically, they should have no connection. But a change in the parameter of one particle leads to an instantaneous change in the state of another. It's a miracle. And this miracle is possible because the process occurs instantaneously not just above the speed of light, but instantaneously. And here I can prove that this is not some kind of miracle, but quite a natural phenomenon. According to the laws of physics, as we know, nothing can be transferred from one place to another at a speed greater than the speed of light. Accordingly, we know nothing about anything that moves above the speed of light. Quantum teleportation does not transfer energy or matter over distance. The fantastic notion of teleportation comes from a specific interpretation of the experiment: the original state of the particle collapses after all that has happened, as if it were to appear elsewhere. That is, the state was not copied, but transferred from one place to another. Well, now you will say that this is nonsense, because in fact both energy and information are transferred. Information, I think, for sure. Because the state of one particle is transferred to another particle. All right. Let's do this you will believe me without these scientific details, because the fact of influence is there, but there is no scientific substantiation yet.
Let's return to our thought experiment. In order to realize such an experiment, first of all, we need to invent a technology with which we can copy your brain, that is, what you really are, transmit its state over a distance with instantaneous (or almost instantaneous) speed, and then the most interesting thing put this state into another brain. Now for the even more curious part. You have probably all seen how under the influence of hypnosis a person becomes, to put it mildly, a different personality. It is as if the body remained, but the consciousness, the personality became different. Similarly, in this case, when realizing such an influence, the consciousness, getting into a new body, puts that brain as if in a coma state, that is, it disconnects it, and then acts on its own. Besides, a timer program will be laid down, and it, this first mind, will switch off at the appointed time and return to the original body. And the person from which the mind and consciousness were sent will then know and remember everything that he felt in another's body. Here is a miracle, which is partially already real.
Imagine if someone had told you at the dawn of the invention of electricity that one day the whole world would be covered with wires. You would have said, "There are not enough resources for that, it is impossible to realize. Wouldn't you? And now think if I tell you that such installation, which probably will not differ much from virtual reality installation, will become a common commodity, and such flights to parallel worlds will be entertainment and attraction. Well? You'll say: here it carries. Discoverers have always fled from primitive consciousness to the depths of space. Let's get rid of primitive consciousness.
Some will say, "Wait, wait, wait, let's deal with it on Earth. Let's assume that all this is true. The technology of consciousness transfer already exists. Quantum teleportation is known to science. But tell me, please, what makes you think that there are these parallel worlds?
I'll answer: it all comes from what I said. I was talking about quantum entanglement. That is to clarify: entanglement is not from the word "entanglement", but from the fact that one particle has a double, which allows parallel reality, somewhere its state changes with instantaneous speed. Repeats the particle like you in a mirror your reflection.
Quantum teleportation provides the answer to the existence of these worlds. It's hard to believe, but it does. It's been going on for billions of years. We're all made up of these particles. We know what photography, X-rays, CAT scans are, and it doesn't surprise us anymore. What's that cloning and genetically modified foods don't even surprise us. So why not assume that our whole world, consisting of molecules, atoms, particles and so on, emitting all this every second, has not folded into the same world in another area, where the appropriate conditions exist. Why shouldn't that be allowed to happen? So, logically speaking all of this is there, is there in numerous forms, that is, one world is reflected in another, and that one in a third, and so on. Of course, with each copy, and taking into account the conditions around, the subsequent world will already be a little different.
As for the practical part, I think there are not enough fingers on my hands to list in what areas and for what purpose this process can be used. For example, even in Earth conditions it is possible to create several clones of one person, settle them in special agencies, in different parts of the world, and the sought person can instantly transfer consciousness across oceans and continents, remaining herself. It's the same in those worlds. Initially, once there, the same technological setups and the same clones can be created. That is, traveling to far and distant space will not be a problem at all.
Chapter 6. The theory of non-relativity
Let's do a thought experiment, a virtual one. Or at least just speculate how it could be in reality. After all, agree obviously in those times, when people began to realize that the world is huge and there are other lands, speculations about a possible in the future direct reportage, in live broadcasting, in any future, not only would be perceived as fantasy, but it would be difficult to explain what and how. So, let us at least explain what and how. Personally, this method assured me of the non-alternativity of this method of mankind's existence in the future. But only not by moving into each other, but by moving the consciousness according to the principle of the influence of entangled pairs to the far reaches of space. There the consciousness will have to find its shelter, i.e. another biological body. If not, it will return to the original one without risk. What is consciousness? It's an aura of brain waves generated by the brain. With their help we can influence the particles, and those in their turn, influencing each other, exchanging states (and the distance, as it was voiced, does not play a role for them), will have to do the same as any other change. When we speak, draw, write, tap out Morse code, even when we make babies we are converting one action into another, and initially converting an idea, a thought into a desire and action. In the same way these particles, influencing each other, should form a copy of the original consciousness from other waves there, somewhere far away, in someone's brain. People use such technologies everywhere, only we are not copying consciousness yet.
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 about 46,000,000,000,000,000 years, not to mention other universes, the existence of which 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. This too would once have been magic, tell someone 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 observed 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 one. 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.
