In this article, excerpts from an article describing the METIDA project are taken. These passages are associated with a time travel invention such as the PARADIGM. Some changes and additions have been made to its description. This is necessary in order to understand in more detail and easier what opportunities it brings.
Paradigm
Let's take a look at how our current communications work. We use wires, radio towers and satellites. However, these communications are used only within our planet. Using communications, for example, within the solar system, is still problematic in our time.
However, what if a time machine was invented. How will this affect our world?
Let's take an example.
We take two time machines. The distance between them will be approximately one light hour (light hour is the distance over which light can travel in an hour). So, one time machine sent a radio signal to another. An hour later, this signal arrived. The time machine that received the signal will move back in time two hours and send a response signal. The first time machine to send a signal will receive a response signal one second after sending.
That is, we have an instant communication channel. Now imagine that we have created many of these machines.
Promotional video:
Time machines are needed to improve space communications. These days, there are limits on the signal transmission rate. The maximum transmission speed is equal to the speed of light. At cosmic distances, this speed limit is very noticeable. With the help of a time machine, we can transmit it over long distances instantly - in the same second without delay.
Let's repeat it again. Since we possess the instantaneous movement of information over long distances, we can use this achievement in space communications, thereby instantly transmitting a signal between planets and distant spaceships. Now, to transmit a signal in space only in the solar system, we would need whole hours and days, and if we send a powerful signal to the nearest stars, we would need years. Having instant signal transmission, we could build a global space information network, and we could easily communicate with each other at cosmic distances. Perhaps the internet would even be available in space. Further even better, we can transmit information through time into the past and the future, using this very time machine. This means that the Internet could be accessible to us not only from a distance,but also in time.
The Internet, available in space and time, we can call "PARADIGM". (the name is taken from the term "paradigm shift"; paradigm shift often occurs in history, when the scientific worldview in society changes over time).
Perhaps in the future people will create this space-time internet.
Now, if we think hypothetically about the fact that people from the future create a Paradigm moving in time both in the past and in the future, then we can assume that it already exists, right now, in space and, possibly, even on earth at the present time. (Perhaps LIB create something like hosting on planets and asteroids, or simply store these hosts on spaceships). Naturally, the Paradigm is created so that ordinary people do not notice it. It is also designed to avoid any paradoxes in time with the transfer of information from the future. That is, to maintain a causal relationship over time. This is necessary so that the space-time continuum is not destroyed.
Creating a Paradigm will be a very time consuming process. This network will constantly evolve. For her, there will be no familiar concepts of time and space, but only the amount and type of information circulating in her.
What can time travelers use the Paradigm for? It is natural to assume that to get information from the future for their work in the past. Also, the Paradigm can serve to collect information about all the events of the past, that is, the archive.
For example, today we study ancient history using manuscripts, ruins and fossils; but it would be easier to just see everything with your own eyes. For example, we could invent a device invisible to the eyes of ordinary people, capable of capturing an event in the past. This means that the Paradigm is able to collect information about the entire history of mankind. This network will be somewhat similar to the mystical "all-seeing eye".
The paradigm can be used not only in research work, but also in the investigation of criminal cases. Since we can look into the past, we can determine exactly who is to blame. Moreover, we can collect all information about a person throughout his life, which means that we can definitely find out about all his illegal affairs. We can also learn about all his deeds that he performed throughout his life. Having weighed all the bad and good deeds of a person, we can accurately judge how a person has lived his life with dignity. This means that with the help of the tracking devices of the Paradigm, historical justice can be restored.
Of course, this information will not be freely available to everyone. Surely, ethical laws will also be created to protect the rights of people's personal lives. In addition, it is unlikely that LIBs will consider the entire life of a person (this is a too long process), which means, perhaps, an automatic system will be created that looks for violations and merit of a person. The embarrassing and just ordinary events will go down, that is, “CENSORSHIP” will be involved in the Paradigm.
Superpowers
Now, knowing about the time machine, imagine that you can perform such a trick.
Nowadays, scientists are working with computers using an artificial neural network. At the same time, medicine is looking for a way to restore brain neurons. The brain is a kind of biological computer. Moreover, it is much more advanced than its artificial counterpart, despite the low speed of calculations.
Using these scientific advances, it is possible that people in the future will learn to grow a biological neurocomputer.
Why is it needed?
If you use a time machine and travel back to the time when the first man on Earth just appeared, then people from the future will be able to encode this neurocomputer in human DNA (perhaps even we can encode a neurocomputer in the DNA of all living beings). It will develop as part of the human brain.
Considering that we are talking about time travel, this neurocomputer already exists in our brain. Perhaps this is the part of the brain that is responsible for dreams. Since a dream is comparable to a 3D computer world into which a person is immersed.
If this is true, then our brain becomes something like a computer connected to the Internet. This means that we can have the same functions as ordinary computers connected to the Internet. For example, we may have email. And we have the opportunity to communicate with each other at a distance. And we don’t even have to move our lips.
Perhaps this is where the myth of telepathy and mind reading originated. That is, we communicate as by e-mail. If telepathy is figurative, then it is comparable to a conversation on Skype.
However, in addition to telepathy, we may have one more ability. After all, the Paradigm works not only in space but also in time. This means information can travel in time.
Moving information through time - what is this process? In order to understand this, we need to understand - what is "DETERMINISM", or how it is used in non-scientific circles - "FATE". Fate (determinism) is precisely connected with the space-time continuum. If you violate determinism, you will also violate the space-time continuum.
Many of us will say that fate is a predestination that cannot be changed in any way no matter what you do. Determinism confirms this. Scientists explain determinism as follows: “According to determinism, everything that happens around (including events that take place in the life of an individual and all of humanity) is predetermined by fate. In theory, if you could measure the speed and calculate the direction of every particle in the universe, then you could accurately determine the future interactions of these particles, and therefore predict future events. But since it is unrealistic to do this, it turns out that the whole future is unchanged. Even our actions or thoughts are subject to determinism, because they are caused by the chemical and electrical interactions of particles that move chaotically."
It turns out that all that remains is to reconcile, even if fate is preparing troubles and misfortunes? But is it really that bad, even if fate cannot be changed? What if we could still see the future? Let's try to analyze this question.
Let's imagine that you see the near future, but you know that the future cannot be changed. How do you think it will look like?
This is where we include this ability here. We will call the ability to see the future "FORECAST".
So an example.
You are in the drawing of a million rubles. There are several boxes in front of you. One of them contains a check with this large amount. You have the ability to see the future. What will you see? Determinism should not be violated, but the ability is still there; which means that you will most likely see yourself picking the right box. This way, cause-and-effect relationships (CTS) are not violated, which means that the space-time continuum will not be destroyed. That is, foresight itself is the reason for choosing the right box. Will you change your fortune knowing that you can take the winnings? Hardly! And if you could decide not to take this check with money, then you would not have seen anything in advance. That is, where there is a squiggle in time, there should be a squiggle, and where it is not, it should not be there. Bottom line: determinism is not violated,even if you are able to see the future.
It follows from this that you can only see a few things that do not contradict determinism. For example, you can see the future if your life is in danger, since you do not dare to change your fate and accept death if you foresaw your salvation. This means that if you are a seer, then you can only receive information from the future, which does not contradict fate. We can say that you can only see the winning option for you if you can physically influence the event. You can see a losing option if you physically cannot do anything, even seeing the future. For example, if you foresaw that the multi-ton roof of a huge building would fall in the next seconds, you are unlikely to stop it. It is simply impossible for you.
That was an accurate foresight. Now let's consider this option. A kind of foresight ability. You can see the future, but it is vague and comes to you in separate passages. That is, distorted foresight.
So an example:
You have seen fragments of the future that point to tragedy. Your friend is lying on the ground, and there is blood on his chest, and the hole in his clothes is like a bullet. It seems that the future is obvious and cannot be changed, since this contradicts determinism. But what if let's say with a friend that you want to rehearse a scene in some future movie? There he lies on the ground in the clothes in which you saw him in the vision, you make a hole in these clothes, and pour a red liquid like blood on this hole. As a result, it turns out that the event that you saw in your vision has already happened. That is, this performance was in your vision. Determinism is not violated. From this example, we can conclude that foggy vision is a problem that can be solved if there is enough information from the future. The action isin which this task is solved, we can call it "RITUAL", since it resembles the lifting of the curse in the occult. This means that the possible consequences of future events can also be solved with the help of intellect.
Let's give another example:
You saw in a vision a person who became rich at a particular time. But you have not seen who this person is. And at the same time, in your vision, you saw some object in this person. For example, this is a locket, bracelet, watch or mobile phone. What happens if you find this particular item? Do you remember the specific time at which the person from the vision became rich. What to do with this subject and information from the future? There will be various consequences: if at that very time you have this item, then you will get rich; if you give this item to someone, it turns out that he will get rich. This item will look like a talisman that will bring wealth (though one-time). So let's call this item - "TALISMAN".
By the way, a talisman can be not only an object, but also a drawing (tattoo) that can be on the human body or even a scar. In some situations, a word can be used as a talisman (we will talk about the power of words in the future). Everything that is in the vision can serve as a sign for some event that will occur in the future. Therefore, these patterns and marks, instead of the term "talisman", it is more convenient to call "SIGNS".
What's next? We can categorize events as good and bad. If talismans and signs foreshadow trouble, then we can call them "THE DAMNED". If you're lucky, then HAPPY. Accordingly, a bad event will be called "CURSE" and a good "LUCK".
From all of the above, we can conclude that when working with determinism (fate), we are working with a causal relationship (CSP) in time, and we can assume that this is how information is transferred in time. We can use signs and talismans if we do not see the person himself from the future.
Many of the above terms are taken from the occult. Given the possibility of the existence of displacement in time, perhaps not in vain. What if rumors of foresight, magic, and other occult tricks are actually the work of the Paradigm?
Of course, this is not a reason to believe that all the clairvoyants and telepaths that we see on TV are real. However, this is a reason to think about where the rumors about these people came from.
The Time Travelers who create the Paradigm probably know how to use its capabilities. This means that they can use these superpowers, which are legendary in our time.
Paradise
We realized that the Paradigm is a thing similar to the network - the world wide web Internet. However, this network operates in both time and space, which means that its capabilities are far superior to our today's Internet. It also means that the Paradigm can be used for a wider range of people.
Let's try to draw analogies of the Paradigm with the Internet and computers of our time.
For example, we know that with the help of computers, a game can be created with its own virtual world. A virtual sky, a virtual cave, a castle, space, a huge garden, a forest and much more can be created there. People are able to enter this virtual world using a computer. With the help of our Internet, we can all enter someone's created game. So, an online game is created. Now imagine that the Paradigm can be used for the same purposes. It is also possible that in the future we will create technologies for full immersion in virtual worlds. What if we can create a huge virtual world like the world from the Wachowski brothers' The Matrix, only more colorful? Then we can create a place that looks like a fairytale castle, city, oasis, playground and many other things. We can create virtual creatures the same wayas in our time, on modern computers; but at the same time we will feel ourselves in this world, as if in reality.
Paradigm - a more advanced computer network can be used for similar projects. But the virtual world in it can be used for a project comparable, perhaps, to the project of God from the Bible.
What if we can just load the human soul into the Paradigm? In other words, we can take a person's soul into the future or in some other period of time.
How do we do this trick?
Recall that in the future, people may learn to grow a biological neurocomputer. This neurocomputer will be able to communicate with the Paradigm. So we need to somehow put this neurocomputer to all people from the past into the brain. But how do we do this? Perhaps, if we use a time machine and travel back to the time when a person just appeared, then we can encode this neurocomputer in human DNA (perhaps even we can encode a neurocomputer in the DNA of all living things). It will develop as part of the human brain. That is, it already exists in our brain.
So through this neurocomputer we will load the human soul.
The very information repositories of the Paradigms are best made from neurocomputers, which will be stored in space holdings. This is how we can make temporary avatars for each soul (we'll talk about them later) in the form of these computers. The souls themselves will live in the virtual world of the Paradigm.
Of course, people from the future will take their souls at the very moment when a person is only on the verge of death. That is, we just need to prevent his soul from disappearing.
The preservation of the soul and its transfer to a new body-avatar, with the help of moving at the moment of death the body - the receptacle of the soul, let us call "RESURRECTION" (I think it is clear why).
We can call the virtual world itself in the Paradigm "PARADISE". We call it Paradise because if this information leaked into the past, it would not have caused paradoxes. Everyone knows about paradise. We do not know whether it is true or false, so our memories will not be affected, which means that causation in time will not be affected. According to the same technology, we can call people who will collect souls "ANGELS". So, too, causal relationships in time are not broken.
All-seeing eye
Once we have already noted that with the help of the Paradigm it is possible to trace the affairs of a person during his lifetime. As a result, having mastered the resurrection, we can pass judgment on this person. For example, if we see that he committed a terrible crime and was not punished during his lifetime, then he will have to be punished after his death. It follows that a special prison should be created for such criminals; so, perhaps, something like ADA from legends will be created.
For some, this will not be very good news, because we can conclude that if you have a big sin in your soul, death will not cancel it. And who knows how tough that prison will be?
Suicides can also go to this prison. Especially when they know that their soul can simply be taken into the Paradigm.
How will information about the actions of people in the past be read?
Since the Paradigm is connected to our brain, information that we see with our eyes, hear with our ears and feel with our body can be loaded into it. Also, sensations received with the help of other senses can be loaded into it.
This system, which is responsible for collecting information, we can call the "ALL-SEEING EYE".
Avatars
We looked at things like Paradigm, Paradise and the All-Seeing Eye. This time we will consider the possible development of scientific and technological progress in the field of robotics and genetics in order to find out for what purposes the Paradigm can still be used.
For this we will be transported to the future.
Scientific and technical progress (STP)! Why do we need new technologies? Here, without really thinking, you can understand that we need them in order to make life easier and more convenient. Technology helps us in households, medicine, business and many other things; it would be foolish to stop NTP, because it means giving up improving the quality of life.
In our century, robotics and intelligent technologies began to develop. In the future, it is planned to create: artificial intelligence (AI), which is able to think like a person; robotic limbs and artificial organs for disabled people, which will subsequently lead to the creation of cyborgs; human-like robot androids; also just robotic assistants who will help with the housework.
It is also possible that technical "AVATARs" will be created. What is this?
Probably some people have seen the film, directed by Jonathan Mostow, "Surrogates." The surrogate in this film is an artificially created robot body that is controlled from a distance by an operator, who is an ordinary person. Now imagine that such surrogates will be created in the future. What can they be used for?
For example, you can use them for people with disabilities who are weak to move around on their own.
They can also be used for work.
Imagine that some company has created special surrogates designed to work in their factories. In your home, there will be special devices created to connect to these surrogates. That is, you will not even need to go out and go somewhere. You just need to connect via the network and work remotely. At the same time, surrogates do not have to look like a person, but will simply look like robots created specifically to work with a wider range of possibilities. After all, a sophisticated AI robot can make mistakes. If, instead, there is a robot controlled by a human, then he is more trustworthy.
We can go even further. We may need surrogates, for example, to work where an ordinary person is not capable, namely: deep underground, where there is no oxygen, but there are poisonous gases; also deep under water, where tremendous pressure can crush an ordinary human body; with the help of heat-resistant surrogate robots, it will be possible to work literally in the mouth of a volcano.
These robots are surrogates and will be called "avatars".
In the more distant future, there may be biological avatars, or more accurately avatar biorobots. Perhaps they will be grown, similar to how they did it in the James Cameron movie with the same title "Avatar". These avatars are probably more mobile and can feel better than a machine robot. For example, you can create an exact copy of yourself, removing any imperfections. For example, scars, some kind of internal damage, or just old age.
We might even be able to completely transplant consciousness into this new biological avatar body!
To find out how this is possible, we must solve the question that arises when the consciousness is transmigrated into the body-avatar: How can we preserve our “I”? Let's speculate about this. (At the same time, we will understand how the soul is loaded into the Paradigm.)
Nowadays, brain scanning is under development. The purpose of these developments is to preserve the memory and consciousness of a person in a computer, creating his completely identical virtual double. But then it becomes clear that only a copy is being created, because you yourself have not gone anywhere. That is, just two people are created with the same memories. Hardly, this is what we need.
Let's look at another example then, but before that, let's remember biology.
We know that we are made of cells. Throughout our life, our cellular composition changes a certain number of times. So how is our “I” preserved if the matter of which we consisted is almost completely replaced?
Perhaps everything is related to the continuous transmission of signals between neurons in our brain. Let's imagine that we were able to grow a second brain. If signals were transmitted between him and our brain, then our "I" would be preserved. There would be no two personalities. If the connection is maintained, then it's just one big brain, just the number of neurons has increased.
It turns out that if your body and body-avatar would have this connection, then it turns out that your consciousness controls two bodies. That is, we have a connection with our body and our consciousness. We can say that your consciousness is the soul. How can a soul control two bodies? What will it look like? It will probably be similar to when you work with one muscle group while the other muscles are resting. This means that one body, as it were, will sleep while the other is awake. And if one body dies, it will be like amputation, like arms or legs.
The same connection is maintained between our brain and the Paradigm. When we die, it is as if our body is amputated from it. This, of course, is accompanied by pain as well as any limb amputation without anesthesia.
So, perhaps, in the future, they will create some kind of reincarnation - a transmigration from body to body, which will ultimately lead to victory over death.
Now imagine that a soul loaded into a Paradigm can be loaded into an avatar, that is, a new body. This can be compared to a complete resurrection. That is, a person can return to life again.
The main goal when traveling in time
A paradigm is the most incredible invention that the ability to travel in time can give us. Its capabilities can make people almost omnipotent.
If the time machine is invented, then the first step will need to make efforts to create it. It is the Paradigm that can open a new world to us.
