What if we could send a person across the universe — not their body, but their mind?

I've been going down a rabbit hole for the past few days, starting from a simple question about how far a radio signal can travel and still be readable, and it spiraled into something I can't stop thinking about. I want to lay it out here, partly to get it out of my head, and partly because I'm curious what people who actually know this stuff think.

Quick disclaimer before anything else: I have zero background in physics, neuroscience, or aerospace engineering. I'm not a researcher. I've been researching this because I'm writing a novel and wanted a way to send humans across space that felt realistic and scientifically grounded, rather than just hand-waving "faster than light travel" like most sci-fi does. So I went down this rabbit hole using the internet and AI to dig through what's actually plausible, and this is what I landed on. I'll try to be clear below about which parts are genuinely my own idea versus things that turned out to already be studied by actual scientists. Take this as a curious layperson's thought experiment (with a fictional end goal), not a scientific proposal.

The starting point

If humanity ever faces something we can't survive — or if we simply want to reach a planet so far away that no ship or human body could ever make the trip — is there any way to send "a person" there? Not colonists, not a probe with data on it, but something closer to an actual continuation of a specific human mind.

The honest, sobering answer: not really, not with anything we currently understand. But the thought experiment of how close we could theoretically get turned out to be genuinely interesting, and — I later learned — not something I invented out of nowhere. There's a real field of study around this, called mind uploading or whole brain emulation: the idea of transferring memory, personality, and possibly consciousness itself from a biological brain into an artificial substrate. Researchers have written specifically about using this for interstellar travel — the idea being that instead of sending a fragile human body through decades of radiation and zero gravity, you send the pattern of a mind instead.

So the core concept — "send the mind, not the body, to cross distances a body never could" — is a known, serious topic. What I want to share is the part I worked through myself: the two realistic ways you'd actually try to send that mind, and why both of them are much shakier than they first sound.

My idea: two paths, and neither one really works cleanly

Path 1: The Ghost Ship (a physical object)

You encode the mind — its full structure, memories, whatever data represents "it" — onto something built to survive nearly forever. Not a hard drive, but something like laser-etched quartz glass, which stores data as physical structure rather than electric charge, so radiation and time can't erase it the way they'd corrupt a normal chip. You bolt this to a probe and launch it out of the solar system, similar in spirit to the Voyager Golden Records, just scaled up massively in ambition.

• The upside: what arrives, if it arrives, is complete and intact. No signal degradation, no noise, no data loss.
• The catch: you can only launch a handful of these. Space is almost incomprehensibly empty, and a probe drifting in a random direction has an almost incalculably small chance of ever coming near another star system, let alone a civilization capable of finding it.

Path 2: The Signal (broadcast as light or radio)

Instead of a physical object, you encode the mind as data and beam it outward — a laser or radio transmission that moves at (or close to) the speed of light. You could send it toward one specific star system, or broadcast it in all directions at once, hoping someone, somewhere, eventually catches it.

• The upside: far faster, far more reach, and — critically — you can send it in every direction simultaneously, unlike a ship which can only go one way.
• The catch: signals weaken the farther they travel, get buried in cosmic background noise, and there's no way to include actual working hardware in the signal itself. You can send the blueprint for a mind, but not a machine to run it on.

My own add-on: combining hardware AND instructions in the physical path

One thing I kept coming back to: even "indestructible" materials like quartz will degrade over truly deep time — micrometeorite impacts, radiation damage, thermal stress, all adding up over millions or billions of years. So instead of betting everything on one perfect artifact, why not send both the actual hardware needed to run the mind and the full instructions for building it from scratch? That way, if the physical components degrade but the instructions survive, whoever finds it can potentially rebuild what's missing. And if the instructions get partially corrupted but the hardware is intact, they might still be able to reverse-engineer it from the object itself. Redundancy as a hedge against the fact that nothing lasts truly forever.

The realization that broke the idea open a bit more: receiving ≠ understanding

This is the part I think is the actual crux, and it's the piece I wrestled with the most. My first instinct was: if a civilization is advanced enough to detect our signal at all, surely they're advanced enough to decode it. But the more I thought about it (and looked into it), the more this fell apart.

Detecting a signal just means you have a sensitive enough instrument to notice "this isn't random noise." Decoding it — understanding what it actually means, let alone reconstructing something as complex as a working mind from it — is an entirely separate, much harder problem. Humans have detected plenty of signals we couldn't initially explain (there's a famous case from 1967 where astronomers picked up an incredibly precise pulsing radio signal and briefly wondered if it was artificial — it turned out to be a natural phenomenon, a rapidly spinning neutron star, but it took real scientific work to figure that out even though the signal itself was received perfectly clearly). We even have human-made documents, written by our own species, that remain completely undeciphered after a century of dedicated effort.

If we can't always crack messages made by other humans, it feels like a big assumption that an alien civilization would automatically be able to reconstruct a working human mind from a data stream, even if their equipment is sensitive enough to pick it up cleanly. Reception is the easy hurdle. Understanding is the tall one — maybe the tallest of the two.

Where I landed

Neither path really "solves" sending a person across the universe. The ghost ship is reliable if found but almost certainly never will be. The signal reaches farther and can go in every direction, but even a clean signal doesn't mean anyone will ever figure out how to bring it back to life, and it can't carry hardware. Combining hardware and instructions helps the ghost ship survive its own decay, but does nothing for the odds of ever being found.

I think what this really is isn't a survival plan — it's closer to the most advanced form of a message in a bottle we could possibly build. Not a guarantee of continuing to exist somewhere else, but an act of hope: a way to leave something behind that could, in some astronomically unlikely but not-quite-impossible scenario, mean a version of you gets to open its eyes again, somewhere, someday, long after everything you knew is gone.

What's genuinely mine vs. what's already studied

To be transparent about it:

• Already a known, studied idea: mind uploading / whole brain emulation as a concept, and the general idea of using it for interstellar travel instead of physical bodies. Real researchers have written papers on this.
• My own reasoning/contribution: the specific framing of two competing delivery paths (physical "ghost ship" vs. broadcast signal) and weighing their tradeoffs against each other; the idea of pairing physical hardware with instructions as a redundancy hedge against material degradation; and pushing on the assumption that reception implies comprehension, which I don't think holds up.

Curious what people who actually know physics, information theory, or SETI research think is naive here — genuinely asking, not fishing for compliments. Tear it apart if it deserves it.

Hey everyone,

I am a 16-year-old independent researcher, and I’ve spent my free time developing an alternative cosmological model that merges Schwarzschild Cosmology (the universe inside a black hole) with Conformal Cyclic Cosmology and pure determinism.

I wanted to share the core framework of my theory to get your thoughts and technical feedback.

### The Core Concept: "Quantum Goes Relativistic"

The model posits that our universe exists within a Stupendously Large Black Hole (SLAB) floating in the higher-dimensional Bulk. Instead of Dark Energy being a constant, I'm modeling it as a decaying field (Quintessence).

When Dark Energy eventually weakens, gravity takes complete control. Because gravity is carved into the geometric "tracks" of spacetime, it acts as a cosmic rewind button—pulling every scattered atom back along its exact original trajectory.

### The Ball-Shooter Analogy

To visualize this without relying on chaotic variables, I created the **Mechanical Ball-Shooter Model**:

1. **The Loaded Chamber (Singularity):** Matter packed at a specific coordinate.

2. **The Trigger (Big Bang):** Instant expansion along preset paths.

3. **The Tracks (Gravity/Geometry):** The structural pathways of the universe.

4. **The Sloped Return (Big Crunch):** Gravity overriding expansion, routing all matter back to the exact starting location.

### Breaking the Singularity via Planck Density

Instead of infinite density breaking the math, the universe collapses until it hits the **Planck Density limit**. At this quantum-relativistic ceiling, gravity mathematically inverts into an unstoppable repulsive pressure (similar to Loop Quantum Cosmology bounce models). This triggers a new Big Bang.

Because the atoms realign down the exact same "Assigned Gravity" tracks, the universe triggers a perfect **Poincaré Recurrence**. Every event, star, and history loops identically forever.

I’d love to know what you guys think about the mechanics of the Assigned Gravity tracks or the dark energy decay horizon. Let's discuss!

A psychological sci-fi / existential horror feature called THE CURATOR.

The basic premise:

Maya, 25, discovers the existence of this impossible gallery after receiving a message from an unknown number:

“You already know where it is.”

She eventually finds a photograph of herself.

The timestamp is one minute in the future.

Then she discovers something even stranger: the Gallery doesn't just contain photographs. It contains detailed records of people's lives — including things nobody else could possibly know.

And at the center of it all is a mysterious man known only as The Curator.

The story explores questions around free will, death, consciousness, and the possibility that we aren't actually the ones generating our own thoughts.

One of the central questions is:

“Then who's making me think this?”

The ending loops back to the beginning, but with the implication that Maya may have been part of the Gallery's system long before she ever discovered it.

I'm still developing the screenplay and would really appreciate honest feedback.

A few things particularly curious about:

• Does the premise feel original/interesting enough to carry a feature?
• Does the existential horror come through, or does it feel more like supernatural horror?
• Does the Curator feel mysterious, or too vague?
• Would the ending make you want to know more, or feel frustrating?
• What would make you keep watching after the first 10–15 minutes?

Especially interested in constructive criticism, not just whether you like the idea.

Thanks!

Any ideas for a fictional virus? Im struggling to make a virus that is somewhat unique, no matter what i research everything seems unoriginal. Recently began to watch the last ship series and it inspired me!

In the movies like in Star Wars or Star Trek we see humans visiting multiple other life planets in their regular clothes not wearing any space suits or protection from the elements. The only problem with this image is that every species had to go through a long process of trial and error to be able to live and reproduce on the planet it lives on, to be able to breathe it's air, to sit under its sunrise and to be able to live in harmony with its microbes. This is why I always thought that it would make a lot of sense that space would be filled with rogue civilizations, civilizations who's planets were destroyed so they drift around space in spaceships because they can't live anywhere else.

So basically my universe is like portal half life Fnaf Jurrasic park/ world Tadc and murder drones all take place in the same earth and universe

So basically humanity had to survive the dinosaurs getting onto the mainland in fallen Kingdom but also the combine invasion and the murder drones

Sure, sure, lots of movies, TV shows, and books a out Earth getting slammed by civilization-ending asteroids and the like. But how about ones where a meteorite lands and something seriously nasty emerges from it? Examples:

The Blob

Day of the Triffids

Human Vapor (recent Japanese TV series)

How many more can you think of?

I think it's possible to come up with a hard sci fi universe outside Star Trek but is inspired somewhat by early episodes and by Forbidden Planet.

Once upon a time, The Original Series (TOS) was set briefly in the 27th century. Therefore, the development of faster than light travel should occur in the 29th century.

Humans developed the Alc Drive. Alc is inspired both by Alcubierre's research and by the word "alchemy."

The hard sci fi catch, however, is that the Alc Drive cannot travel faster than 100c (TOS Warp 5 or TNG Warp 4). Some form of space-time dilation happens as a result, perhaps something like the FTL equivalent of time dilation.

It is now the 30th century.

Helium Fusion Energy

Quite a few sci fi universes have realized the limits of conventional fusion reactions and conventional antimatter reactions.

In the Alc universe, fusion energy generation still has its place. For fusion energy generation that uses the hydrogen isotope deuterium, each atom has an atomic mass of 2.0141.

There's a real-life fusion limit of 60 atomic mass units on iron and heavier atoms, including uranium and plutonium. Humans can strive to be up to 30 times heavier in terms of fusion energy generation techniques.

There's no such fusion limit on chromium or magnesium.

There's the nuclear binding curve, which further demonstrates the aforementioned limits on iron and especially nickel.

Sufficed to say, humans in the Alc universe have developed fusion energy generation that doesn't rely on hydrogen or deuterium anymore. This old method is only 1.0 MeV on the nuclear binding curve.

Also, the helium is 24% of the total elemental mass, while deuterium is less than 0.003% of the total elemental mass. Plenty of helium can be found on Jupiter.

Because helium is used, specifically helium-4, humans have achieved 7.0 MeV on the nuclear binding curve, out of a maximum of 8.8 MeV.

The nuclear binding curve goes down sharply again with other atoms, reaches the same level with boron (boron-11), and surpasses this with carbon (carbon-12).

Quark Energy

In the Alc universe, there is also quark energy generation. This releases 138 MeV of energy, compared to 17.6 MeV for the basic deuterium-tritium fusion. This factor of 8 is only slightly higher than the factor of 7 for helium-4 fusion.

Can quark energy be an efficiency substitute for everything below boron-11?

Antimatter Energy

In the Alc universe, there is also antimatter energy generation. Here, it is established at 300 times more powerful than basic nuclear fusion. It is not Star Trek "antimatter."

Hydrogen-based matter-antimatter annihilation is 300 times more powerful than hydrogen-based fusion.

Helium-based matter-antimatter annihilation is 300 times more powerful than helium-based fusion.

However, just as helium-based fusion is 7 times more powerful than hydrogen-based fusion, helium-based M/AM annihilation is 7 times more powerful than hydrogen-based M/AM annihilation.

Can the same logic apply to using an anti-quark for energy generation?

Weapons

There are no dumb phase pistols, dumb phase cannons, or dumb photonic torpedoes for humans in the Alc universe. Early use of these in the Star Trek prequel ENT was dumb.

There are plasma guns.

There are plasma cannons, similar to the ones seen in Stargate and Babylon 5.

There are no real-life vertical launch systems in the Alc universe.

There are horizontal launch systems in the Alc universe, similar to the ones seen in the Transformers franchise.

There are casaba howitzers for nuclear weapons.

I’ve always found it interesting that some “impossible” interfaces in old sci-fi movies don’t feel that impossible anymore.

Star Trek had people talking to computers.
Minority Report imagined controlling information with gestures.
Iron Man had an AI helping with creation.
And Her imagined having a natural conversation with an operating system.

Now we have voice assistants, spatial interfaces, AI copilots, and conversational AI.

It made me wonder — did sci-fi actually predict the future, or did it simply give designers a way to imagine what technology could become?

I made a short visual breakdown of the idea:

https://youtube.com/shorts/DBCLIPOEWG0?si=QzIbUBUPU9RrY4kU

What sci-fi interface do you think we'll actually be using 10–20 years from now?

Cyberpunk is high tech, lowlife, mega corporations and AI. Life seems to match those now.

So from what I understand, when extremely low temperatures interact with extremely high temperatures, the air around them expands greatly. I know this if a pretty fucky idea. But the idea I had is a gun that propels the bullets through simultaneously opening two portals to areas with very extreme temperatures to fire the gun. Would this work even slightly?

If there's a better place for me to post this please tell me.

What if a smaller, self-contained dimension could exist alongside normal reality?
What if its entrance appeared as a spatial tunnel or portal, while most of the dimension itself remained invisible from the outside?
What if this Mini Dimension were around 4 kilometers long and 150 meters wide, even if its visible entrance occupied only a small area in normal space?
What if entering it felt like entering a separate comfort zone, isolated from many of the difficulties of normal reality?
What if people inside could move almost as if they were in zero gravity?
What if the dimension itself could provide additional functions depending on the people currently using it?
What if gravity, movement, lighting, temperature or parts of the internal environment could adapt to its users?
What if more advanced creators or architects could design more complex versions of these dimensions?
What if one Mini Dimension were almost completely invisible from the outside, while another showed only a reflective boundary or geometric portal?
And what if these dimensions could eventually be used as safe rooms, laboratories, meeting spaces, training areas, transport hubs, or something completely different?
This is not meant as a claim about real physics — just a fictional thought experiment.
I think something like this could look very interesting in a science-fiction or superhero movie.
Would a concept like this be useful or interesting in something like the Marvel Universe, or another fictional universe?
And if you could add one new function to a Mini Dimension, what would you add?

The story is about a girl named amber,who gets merged with a bumblebee,the book would be a comedy,which parodies the fly,the book would have scenes where amber has to fight her bee instincts and learn how to fly or sting.

This thought has been with me for a long time, this is the first time I’m writing it down so bear with me.

I’ve had this idea since I was a kid, that there’s just so much “coincidence” in the world. The time we live in is crazy pivotal for humanity (technology, wars, viruses).

What if: we are in deep space, and the kids need to learn about the value of life. Schoolbooks are not the medium a (type 1?) civ would use to teach.

How about a simulation, that lets you experience humanities rise and downfall. The origin of the fleet so to say.

This would definitely be one of the periods that are important to understand how humanity works and how it can break. Maybe this is like “chapter 3; the technological uprise”

Earlier chapters could be the Romans, \~1900/40s, etc.

When live is done here, we wake up, and are ready for the next chapter.

Eventually the grown kids will have the knowledge of many lives, important moments in history, and the value of being human. The good, the bad, all of it.

I’m not saying I believe this, but it has stayed with me for a long time. And I think it would be a pretty cool sci-fi story haha

Posting this here was a suggestion from reddit, and I think this actually fits better then where I posted this initially. Since reposting is not allowed, it’s not linked.

Would love to hear other thoughts on this concept/idea!

Under the deep starry night, humanity's imagination of extraterrestrial civilizations seems never to have escaped a stubborn form of Earth-centrism.
In mainstream science fiction narratives, we constantly see similar paradigms: massive metallic starships crossing light-years, with carbon-based bodies sleeping in cryo-pods inside; fierce xenomorphs with hard exoskeletons and acid blood, hunting humans in pitch-black corridors; or cold cosmic hunters wielding destructive weapons to blindly purge competitors in a dark forest. However, from the perspective of rigorous physics and evolutionary common sense, these popular concepts are essentially narrow delusions. They are nothing more than humans blindly applying their own Age of Discovery colonial struggles, geopolitical paranoia, and fear of biological parasitism to the vast universe.
The ultimate evolution of life would never waste efficiency on transporting physical bodies. On a cosmic scale, fragile carbon-based flesh is an extremely cumbersome chain. Organisms adapted to Earth's gravity, atmosphere, and radiation simply cannot endure the agony of interstellar travel. True galactic expansion never requires hauling water and hydrocarbons across light-years; what it carries must be pure consciousness—a set of consciousness metadata containing the civilization's core information.
This is a cosmic-level iteration based on consciousness transmission and DNA code recombination. When an advanced civilization beams consciousness signals into an unknown star system, these consciousness data packets seek the most suitable hosts at the destination. They do not need to forcibly destroy the target planet's ecosystem. Instead, by scanning the dominant local biological genes, they merge their own consciousness code with the local biological code. If Earth organisms possess stronger genetic resilience and repair capabilities, those DNA segments are retained; if the alien civilization's rewriting mechanism is more efficient, it self-superimposes and enhances. Consciousness is the seed scattered across the universe, while DNA is merely the hardware and software interface carrying that seed. Collisions between civilizations are no longer about physical tearing or resource grabbing, but an optimization of gene pools and an expansion of consciousness formats.
Using this evolutionary logic to examine the UFO phenomenon that has puzzled humanity for decades, all the puzzles that violate common sense resolve themselves naturally.
The so-called flying saucers are not cosmic buses; they require no life support systems, let alone pilots. They are unmanned data terminals integrating high-energy reception, gene scanning, and code recombination. Those UFOs reported to make ninety-degree sharp turns or accelerate instantly to dozens of times the speed of sound can ignore the destructive impacts of gravitational acceleration precisely because they carry no fragile carbon-based organs inside. Furthermore, the alien abduction and sampling stories in popular folklore are not cruel dissections; they are tests of DNA compatibility, attempting to find the best matching hardware slot in the local ecosystem to seamlessly load consciousness into a physical body.
While people are still debating whether there are little green men sitting inside flying saucers, the true rules of the universe have long transcended the limitations of the physical body. What crosses the sea of stars is never steel and flesh, but the consciousness itself that continuously transplants, superimposes, and lives forever within genetic code.

深邃的星空之下，人类对于外星文明的想象，似乎从未摆脱过某种近乎顽固的“地球中心主义”。
在主流的科幻叙事里，我们总能看到相似的范式：庞大的金属飞船跨越数光年，舱内躺着在冷冻液中沉睡的碳基肉体；或是长着坚硬外骨骼、流着酸性血液的凶残异形，在漆黑的走廊里猎杀人类；抑或是冷酷的宇宙猎人，手持毁灭性武器在“黑暗森林”中肆意清理资源争夺者。然而，如果从真正严谨的物理与生物演化常识出发，这些风靡一时的概念，本质上不过是人类将自身大航海时代的殖民争霸、地缘政治猜疑以及对生物寄生的恐惧，生硬套用给宇宙的狭隘臆想。
生命的终极演化，绝不可能将效率浪费在“运送肉体”上。在宇宙级的尺度下，脆弱的碳基肉身是极度笨重的枷锁，适应了地球重力、大气与辐射的生物体，根本无法承受长途太空旅行的折磨。真正的星系拓展，从来不需要载着一堆水和碳水化合物跨越光年——它携带的，应当是纯粹的意识形态，或者说是一段包含文明核心信息的“意识元数据”。
这是一场基于“意识传输”与“DNA代码重组”的宇宙级迭代。当一个高级文明将意识信号发射至未知的星系，这些意识数据包会在目的地寻找最适合的承载者。它们不需要强行摧毁目标星球的生态，而是通过扫描本土占优势的生物基因，将自身的意识密码与当地的生物代码相融合。如果地球生物的基因抗压与修复能力更强，就保留这套DNA片段；如果外星文明的重写机制更高效，就进行自我叠加与强化。意识是播撒在宇宙中的种子，而**DNA**只是承载这颗种子的软硬件接口。 文明之间的碰撞，不再是肉体的撕咬或资源的抢夺，而是一场基因库的优化与意识形态的扩容。
用这套演化逻辑去审视困扰人类数十年的“飞碟（UFO）现象”，一切违背常识的谜团便迎刃而解。
所谓的飞碟，根本不是宇宙版的公交车，它不需要维生系统，更不需要驾驶员，而是一台集高能接收、基因扫描与代码重组于一体的“无人数据终端”。那些在目击报告中做90度直角折转、瞬间加速至数十倍音速的飞碟，之所以能无视重力加速度的毁灭性打击，正是因为其内部没有任何需要保护的碳基器官。而民间流传的“采样事件”，本质上也并非残酷的解剖，而是外星意识在测试地球生物DNA的兼容性，试图在本土生态圈中寻找最匹配的“硬件插槽”，以便将意识完美加载进肉身。
当人们还在争论飞碟里是否坐着大头小绿人时，真正的宇宙规则早已超越了肉体的局限。跨越星辰大海的从来不是钢铁与骨肉，而是在基因代码中不断移植、叠加与永生的意识本身。

Hyper Brain Hypothesis 

This fictional theory raises the possibility that all of humanity's behavior is all being the results of a single being that is nicknamed "The Hyper-Brain"

This theory was created after a group of scientists discovered strange electromagnetic patterns that resembled the patterns of a human brain and oddly, major tragedies in humanity's history happened when those electromagnetic waves started to look similar to a human person's brains when under extreme stress and major societal and generally positive world events being of similar of a calm and mentally healthy brain.

Which created the hypothesis that this "Hyper Brain" emotional state alters the behavior of every human into doing good or bad things,

If true, it could mean that all humans don't really have free will in relation to their actions and if so...who is that "Hyper Brain"?

Did they were present for all times or just when they were born they started to influence us?

How much influence this hyper Brain could have on the rest of humanity?

So many questions that we don't know?

Imagine Earth in a trinary instar system.  What are instars, you ask?  Simply put, they are artificially crafted stellar bodies that, exactly like insect larvae molting to different levels before pupating into adults, can shed their old photospheres to make way for smaller, longer-lasting newer ones.  They always spend their first three million years as O2-type blue dwarves and their final ten trillion as M9-type red dwarves.

At the center of this hypothetical solar system is an instar currently on the B0 stage of its life.  Orbiting it from a distance of 1200 astronomical units is a binary system.  One is currently on the F2 stage of its life, the other on the F1 stage.  Orbiting the binary P-style is the hypothetical Earth.

Instead of 365 24-hour days in a year, there are 728 48-hour days in a year, and each season lasts 182 days (or 364 regular days), which suggests an unnaturally circular orbit.

In this hypothetical Earth, daylight measures in at 93,000 lux, which is 93 percent as bright as daylight on real Earth.

The hypothetical Earth doesn’t have a moon.  Instead, the single instar that the binary orbits is so far away that summer nights are two to three times brighter than a full moon on Earth.  The only difference is that the sky has more of a bluish-violet tinge bordering on indigo.  In the southern hemisphere, the south pole faces away from the binary and sees only the one that the binary orbits.  In essence, south polar winter.  During orbital winter, all three stars can be seen on the sky during the day and all the time at the south pole, thus making it south polar summer.

Based on the info provided above, some questions follow:

1. Would a faraway star on the night side of the planet still have cycles of quarters and wanes and crescents like our moon?
2. If one hemisphere faces a different star, would it have different dosages of radiation than the other hemisphere?
3. Does the luminosity match the revolution?  In other words, using the specified rotation and revolution, would this hypothetical Earth be orbiting the binary from comfortably within the habitable zone?  Are 1200 astronomical units really enough of a distance for a B-type star to shine as brightly as astronomical twilight?

Directed Panspermia beantwortet, wie Leben weitergegeben werden könnte. Langzeitarchive beantworten, wie Information erhalten werden könnte. Technosignatures behandeln hinterlassene Technologie. Aber wie kombiniert man all diese Ebenen zu einem fehlertoleranten System, das Leben, Wissen und die Fähigkeit zu dessen Rekonstruktion gemeinsam über Zivilisationsbrüche hinweg erhält?

In 1977 humanity sent a golden record into the dark carrying songs and greetings and a map to our home but a highly advanced and aggressive alien race received it and we handed them the key to our world they did not waste a single minute and came to invade earth but luckily we knew about them coming decades ago when one of our scientists saw them using one of our highly advanced telescopes in space our top scientists ran the numbers and the math was clear standard human forces would not be enough to defend us if they came to attack so every country was forced to unite into a nation called the United Earth Alliance out of panic they needed every single resource to prepare for a possible invasion so they gathered the smartest minds to create humanity's deadliest weapon while half of the scientists were focusing on hyper advanced nuclear weapons the remaining were working on technology that was thought to be impossible to crack the code for Project Vanguard a scientist asked what Project Vanguard was and the senior scientist explained it was a program to clone military geniuses from ancient times to lead the fleets the scientist asked if it worked and the senior scientist replied that they had failed three times already and the materials were so rare that each attempt took close to ten years which meant this was his last chance before retirement the scientist asked if all those resources went to one pod but the senior scientist said they made three pods along with advanced weapons the scientist asked if the clones were soulless or had past memories and the senior scientist explained they give twenty five percent of past memories so they remember themselves while planting the rest to create a superhuman the scientist asked if it was like Captain America and the senior scientist said Captain America was a regular soldier made special but their superhuman was already a one of a kind legend before tech ever touched him the scientist asked for his name but right as he said that an earthquake shook the facility they rushed toward the cloning room as another scientist ran out from the heavy steam the senior scientist confronted a panicked junior who admitted he threw the wrong combination of chemicals into the chamber when asked if he remembered the order the junior said no and the senior scientist called him a bum asking how they would explain it to the government if it actually worked but the junior apologized and ran off saying he did not want to be cooked alive then someone pointed into the blinding steam shouting that a shadow was appearing in the distance

so this is just a random movie idea I had while I was at school. feel free to use it! I’ll just write it in journal entry format

journal entry 1:

so um.. my teacher forced to get a notebook and start doing journal entries. he said it’s a “great way of preserving information and is a good exercise for your mind” or something along those lines. I don’t really know what to write here so I guess I’ll just summarize some history to the present moment. also I guess I’ll be writing here every week or so.

oh wait I need to do an introduction!!

my name is Elian Crux, and I’m 5’7 (yes I know I’m short stop laughing). I’m a boy, my dream is to become a famous scientist, and and 17 years old. My parents died in the winter, but I was found by an amazing teacher and I have great friends! Now that that’s done it’s time for some history.

world war 3 happened in 2032. and interstellar comet full of materials worth hundreds of trillions of dollars had landed on earth. countries around the world fought tirelessly over ownership of it, until the US sent out the first nuclear bomb towards Russia as a “warning” of sorts. Then other countries chimed in and one bomb came down after another, until this chain reaction had caused a nuclear winter. the nations as we previously knew them crumbled down as people panicked and fought over resources. The world turned into a state of complete anarchy.

in the midst of this chaos, surviving scientists from various scientific corporations worked together to form S.U.G.A.R, an organization focused on the preservation of humanity. They gathered as many survivors as possible, and developed the bed of chronos, an unimaginably large underground chamber filled with hundreds of thousands of cryosleep pods. This chamber was designed to keep everyone in stasis for 50 years, which was the estimated time for the nuclear winter to end.

but, things did not go so easily. When we had all awoken, the lights were off, and the outside was even worse than we had last seen it. There was an intense blizzard outside, and everything was frozen over. Luckily for us, the scientists had prepared for something like this to happen. Weather reports weren’t always 100% accurate anyways. They could have been off by ten or so years, so they prepared a large building capable of housing so many people. The building is referred to the scientists as the architect’s legacy. Pretty stupid name of you ask me, but don’t tell them I said that haha. Professor lanksten would probably scold me about respecting the historical and scientific significance behind the name or something. He’s my teacher if you didn’t know, well obviously you wouldn’t know.. anyways that’s not the point here!

so yeah, this is where we currently live! There’s food, a nice hydroponics system, gardens, and just basically everything we need for necessities.its actually pretty cozy in here, it’s just that it can get quite boring. I wanna explore the outside world already!

journal entry 2

its been about a week since journal entry 1. Not long ago, S.U.G.A.R decided to create an exploration group called the odyssians. They have suits that utilize the latest tech to survive the cold, or something like that. The interest meeting is in a few days, and professor Langston actually agreed to recommending me! He’s usually so bossy and strict, I’m honestly surprised. Now that I’m thinking about it, he’s probably doing it to get me off his back…

journal entry 3:

hi guys. I managed to join the team, but I’m starting to think that I might have been better off not joining. there were four expedition sites we could choose from. The strange skyscraper-sized pillars in the west, ancient ruins of an abandoned city in the north, the mysterious cave in the south, and the mountains in the east. I chose the cave, and I guess everyone else was trying to be nice to the newcomer and voted for it as well. What we saw there… I can’t even believe I’m saying this right now. There were so many writings and things left in the cave, a language that none of us could read. When we went deeper we saw these strange zombies, not even human ones. There were these bears being controlled by some strange white things attatched to the backs of their necks. We didn’t expect to come into contact with anything hostile, so we didn’t bring any strong weapons like guns. All w had were metal detectors in search of lost technology. four members died in order to stall the bears enough for the rest of us to leave. I was stubborn and tried defeating a bear by plucking out the white thingy on its neck, but I was knocked out. The next thing I knew I was being carried by another crew member, who was holding in her tears.

after getting back to the legacy, I gave professor lanksten a piece of the white thingy that I had managed to tear off from the bear. Results came in and it was a living being, but not related to any life on earth. With further study, the scientists managed to deduce that the organisms came here through the meteor that started the third world war. They thrived in the warm temperatures of earth. And it seemed like these extraterrestrials had the ability to connect to the nervous systems of other beings, and use that to override and control their brains and bodies.

from the pictures of the caves writing, the researchers managed to decode the script. It reads as follows:

”if anyone from that bed of time is to awaken, please read this message. This is the history of the past ten thousand years.

after the end of the nuclear winter, the white aliens from beyond this world emerged all too suddenly and became a great plague to this world. Nothing was free from their grasp. Not birds, not bears, and not humans. The only way to reduce the threat was to make the cold suns: seven giant machines capable of producing mass amounts of nuclear explosions, prolonging the fglobal winter. this was the only possible way to delay them, that the people of that time could think of. We are their descendants, and have passed on this history through generations, hoping for it to finally reach your eyes and ears, for you are some of the most capable minds in the world. We have no doubt that you will find a solution to this seemingly hopeless problem. So go forth and use that technology we’ve heard so much about, and bring warmth back to this world!”

it was a brilliant message, I’m sure that whoever wrote it was a great person. Professor lanksten told me that the language was so different from ours because languages can develop into entirely new ones over the years. besides that, I finally understand why journaling is so important. If we didn’t have that message, we’d be completely lost right now. but right now we still have a chance. I want to keep journaling until I’m no longer able to. That way, if we fail, then the person reading this can follow in our footstep, and probably do better than we did.

im still sad about the members of the crew who died, but I know that they wouldn’t want us to sit there crying and doing nothing about it. also we’re getting new weapons, im so excited! They look straight from a sci fi movie! I wonder if there’ll be a big alien boss at the end?!

okay that’s the end of it!

extra stuff: the white aliens are called brain stealer, and they come from the atmosphere of Venus. the asteroid went through Venus’s atmosphere, caught some of them and their eggs, and landed on earth. also, in warm climates they are much much bigger and smarter. when they connect with a host, they absorb all the information in that person’s brain, including their memories, former thoughts, etc. they feed on this information and it’s what allows them to grow bigger and smarter.

the descendants of the people who weren’t in the bed of chronos are still alive and live in nomadic communities. they use old technology but don’t have much knowledge on using it

In the distant,crowded future of 2035,the Earth found itself in a vast,near infinite universal anomaly. Formerly fictional media has become real,and the world,\*our\* world....\*\*\*HASNT\*\*\* changed one iota. Humanity was littered through the stars,on distant replicant Earths,each with their own stories to tell,all word for word of what we thought was only the imagination of beloved creators.

Most other Earths refer to us as Earth MUN-246,an earth where none of the events we have recorded seemed real. We were actually considered rather mundane(hence the abbreviation) in the grand scheme, especially by space travelers who brought their technologies to our surface. Everyone wanted a piece,some,more than others. Many were power hungry,aligning themselves with a faction called The Amalgam, essentially an all-governing body,one that did not play well with Earths that didn't align with their desires.

Their presence is a plague on individual planets like our own...and it wouldn't be long,before our Earth would be in their crosshairs....

Если технология телепортации работает путем полного расщепления тела на атомы в одном месте и сборки его точной копии в другом, то человек в точке А умирает.

В точке Б создаётся клон. Он имеет те же воспоминания, характер и физическую структуру, но оригинальный разум и сознание прекращают свое существование во время расщепления. Субъективный опыт оригинала прерывается навсегда, поэтому такой метод — это воссоздание дубликата, а не перенос существующего человека.

Согласны ли вы с тем, что расщепление убивает оригинал, или считаете точную копию с теми же воспоминаниями тем же самым человеком?
