while not existing as a substance and at the same time having absolute power over all substances.
Many times Ruthra thought that everything was ready, that he could begin, but analyzing again and again, he came to the conclusion that something was missing. He felt it intuitively. There was a certain muse missing, which helped to put everything into a single chain. A child in the role of a small astronaut was logical and not logical at the same time. Such a grandly risky and ingenious idea would have been a challenge even then if it had been about conventional spaceflight in a real human body. The human-launched Voyager 1 spacecraft reached the limits of the solar system in 35 years. For interplanetary flights, if we overcome radiation, it will be relevant within the solar system. But it takes 40,000 years to fly to the nearest star. In that case, we can't even on Earth predict events. The child (or children) must grow up in flight, gain a base of knowledge and experience, complete the mission, and return healthy, sane, even if old. Flying to the stars, even at superluminal speeds, takes a long time for a person whose life in the timeline is but a blink of an eye for eternity. A light speed of 300,000 kilometers per second is grandiose for earthly distances, but impossible for earthlings, according to the formula E=MC2. It is impossible for material objects at all. Only that which has no mass, i.e. light, radio waves, can travel at such a speed. Even if the speed was ten times the speed of light, it is still negligible for cosmic distances. Imagine a billion years. Even if you fly not ten, but a hundred thousand times faster than the speed of light – even then you will not have enough human life on Earth, even, perhaps, the life of a civilization.
In such daily reflections, time was running out for the main thing – the realization of the Ribhu mission. This is what Rutra called his program.
Chapter 8. The mystery of the machine's thoughts
Ruthra and the doctor went to the scientist's office. They had a lot of work to do, the main aspect of which was what seemed simple at first glance – the moral preparation of the candidates. Only at first glance it seemed simple, but if you looked into it, it was very difficult to agree to an experiment in which you were offered to digitize your personality, send your consciousness to the edge of the universe and there to be implanted in someone like you, and in case of death, it turned out that you had a clone with a copy of your own consciousness. Who would believe such a thing? As for the clone, there was another program. Ruthra called it the "download program."
– Well, king of the mountain, did you get it? – said the doctor, handing Rutra a glass of carrot juice; he had prepared one for himself. – To victory, to the beginning, to luck, to the unity of the theory of the universe," he proclaimed solemnly, holding out his glass to Rutra.
They clinked glasses, sipped a little, and sat in chairs on either side of a table littered with papers, books, various objects, writing utensils, and photographs. There was also a laptop on the table, and all sorts of things from watches to honorary degrees.
– It's not really a big deal. All that has been demonstrated is not really news. We need to show it on the candidates," Rutra expressed his view on the initial stage of the project.
– I totally agree, so… why are you sitting here, your majesty? Have a beauty contest, I think a lot of pretty girls would want a younger body.
– Don't blow my mind. Let's get serious. First of all, there are already young people in the competition. Second, why do we need young people?
– Imagine if something goes wrong in time. The young one grows up, you can do something about it. It's the same world out there. We will prepare a person, put him in the program, and everything will be the same in that world.
– Wait, wait, you've already added to my theory. In my opinion, there is a chain of worlds, the next one is reflected in us as we are reflected in the previous one.
– Yes, that's right, then it turns out something happens there, and then the same thing happens here.
– That's great. I thought about it… just didn't think about the reality of what's happening there now. Like the reflection of what we're about to do.....
– Really, that's a twist. We made it up and we can hardly believe it ourselves.
– And how can you believe it so easily?
– But you're sure about your theory, aren't you?
– I'm sure.
– So there exists in the infinite expanse of the universe at least somewhere the same thing.
– Infinity has everything in it, yes. And if we have presented an infinity where there is anything, but there is no repetition of this moment, what is happening here now, then it means only one thing: we have presented still a limited infinity.
– You know, Einstein wasn't understood by everyone either, even in the scientific community.
– Not everyone understands, and not just Einstein.
– Why don't you go on record with your theory? Defend it.
– Once we have a successful experiment, then we'll talk. Now let's develop the idea. So, let's take a schoolboy.
– We have to time it right.
– How can we do the math? Are we going to put the body into a lethargic sleep here?
– Understand, we must be prepared to make sacrifices.
– What do you mean?
– I mean, the baby's gonna be stuck in there. You understand this once. We don't know what's gonna happen. Imagine, we send a person down there, they make a mess, it affects our world, and it leads to some dramatic incident.
– Oh, wait a minute. Are you making my point as your point again?
– Yes you say something yourself and then you ask about it yourself…you stated that it could be. Why not develop it? Imagine, we have to take in a child, they have to have a connection with us, there has to be a person they trust unconditionally or are on very good terms with. There must be people whose advice and moralizing the baby listens to. Now, imagine if that child there reveals the mystery of an event that happened here, before the onset of the
– Look, wait. Based on our theory, he's going to end up in exactly the same conditions. Right?
– Well.
– Then the same people will be there.
– Well.
– Imagine if a kid fights with them there.
– That's why we need people here that we can influence. To prepare them psychologically so that they can influence him favorably.
– So how? If we send the child to the world that mirrors us, is reflected through us, then yes, but if he gets into the world through which we are reflected, then vice versa – there will be uncontrollable events.
– Not really. My theory is that events are not directly reflected. That is, as if they happen synchronously, but not quite mirror-like. The general background is mirrored, but there is a kind of "butterfly effect". A butterfly fluttered somewhere, and there was a storm at the other end of the world.
– How's that?
– That's right, there's more than one particle. Imagine the whole world, imagine the whole solar system. Imagine our entire galaxy.
– All right, then.
– What – okay? Such a flow can't work only point by point. "Butterfly effect", like a dream, is reflected in reality. The brain, anticipating the event, or maybe knowing about it through communication with other subconsciousnesses, gives a signal. We see the dream and interpret it, decipher it, link it to the events that most often occur on that basis. According to my theory there will be something similar; the main thing is how the flow of focused particles will go. It's not just a reflection in a mirror, that's all. It's something else. These particles influence each other. You see, it's something we don't know yet. You're a scientist. Even with all the uncertainty, there must be logic. How can the state of one particle
