So, our universe is actually supposed to be 93 billion light years in diameter. Now, understand this: those edges 14 billion light years away, even with a life of 14 billion years and at that speed, you still wouldn't reach those edges. After all, you only live some 14 billion years, and the universe has expanded during your flight. So let's live longer, like 28 billion years. Is that hard to imagine? Just imagine, you'd live for 28 billion years. It's a miracle. It's unimaginable. Now you probably know what I mean by now. Even with such great unimaginability, you can't reach the edge of the universe. The edge of our universe, because there are many others. Now imagine eternity. Imagine that the universe we've been talking about is just a grain of sand on a beach. A grain of sand among billions and trillions of others. Imagine that? Now imagine you've been alive for a hundred billion years. How cool is that? Now imagine you're traveling to the nearest star at the speed of light. Congratulations, it'll take you four years to get there. So that's at the speed of light, which, by the way, by all the laws of physics, material bodies can't reach. Not that it's technically difficult, no. With the capabilities that space technology has now – it will take us about 40,000 years to get there, and at the speed of light – only 4 years. You might be thinking: how fast, compared to traveling in a rocket. Now imagine, it takes you 4 years to go to a neighboring city. For domestic needs, and more, that's an awfully long time. Notice, it's at the speed of light, which a person can't fly. Not that flying is impossible, it's impossible to reach. Our bodies are material.

Now you have a better idea of the size of the universe. No? Then let's fly through at least our galaxy. In the meantime, I'll tell you in confidence that there are supposedly about 500 billion galaxies, and each galaxy has from 200 billion to a trillion stars. Can you imagine how many galaxies there are? Does it make you dizzy? Then imagine snowflakes in a blizzard. About that many if there's a blizzard all night and all over the region. And think of those grains of sand I mentioned above. In the meantime, we've got another 100,000 years to go through the galaxy. Don't forget, we're only talking about our own. They'd tell you to go to the capital and meet me there in 100,000 years. How cool is that? I think you're already euphoric. That's my way of trying to explain to you a tiny fraction of what's called eternity. You've been flying, flying, flying… billions and trillions of years, and you haven't actually moved. How? It's like this. Because no matter how big you visualize, you're still visualizing a tiny fraction of eternity.

Have you ever paid attention to a human embryo in the early stages of development? Does it really look like a fish? It is assumed that the embryo in the process of growth passes through all stages of living beings, from which in the process of evolution came, overcoming the evolutionary chain, man. Now imagine the eternity of space. For the eternity of space at some stage our universe is just a molecule. Have you imagined the magnitude of eternity I am talking about now? Now imagine this vast space in another part of infinity. In a vast infinity in which already this big unimaginable gigasuniverse becomes a molecule. Perhaps our universe, expanding at some stage, is "born", that is, it reaches a stage where life appears in it. Then it grows, ages and dies. And all these multiple universes are all part of some organism. Are you surprised? But infinity makes any huge quantity into a tiny little thing. By comparison, we have billions of living things inside our bodies… and they have no idea who we are. They are born, live and die without recognizing who they are living off of.

Now let's reset our imagination and try to visualize infinite time. Imagine those billions of years when the universe will expand, then contract, explode, and be reborn. Now imagine that you're the one making coffee every morning. One hundred billion years have passed. The next day, a new universe is born again, life appears somewhere. Civilization developed, the universe shrank, exploded. Another day goes by, and it's all over again. So there you go. Even that's not infinity. Infinity isn't the size of something. Not the passage of countless years and time itself, not the vast distances with no end in sight, not the realization that matter will never disappear, no matter how many times it transforms from one such species to another. No. Infinity is the understanding of something that has never arisen and will never disappear. Something that has never arisen and will never cease. It's hard for us to imagine. Our brains are used to working, to operating with concepts that have some kind of boundaries. Now that your brain has realized how small we are and how fleeting our lives are – let's get to our story. Here from it we will learn how it is possible to live so long and move so fast.

For now, however, we will remember the past. Namely, the story of a past life. The lives of characters from a series of parallel worlds, and not only from there. Let's remember how Rutra and his friend, a "luminary of science" named Parmenides, invented a method of quick human cloning and transferring consciousness from any human to a clone. Let us remember the properties of quantum-entangled pairs, undetermined by science so far, to find their pair and transfer to it with instantaneous speed the impact that was exerted on it. Let's remember how, using these marvelous paradoxes of science, they found and transferred to parallel worlds the consciousness of a real person.

Now a little reminder of how. Here, for example, a computer turns a file into multiple copies. You don't know the technical details? It's no longer a surprise to you. It's kind of a matter of course. Now imagine a 3D printer that copies shapes, models. Now imagine a printer that makes food from prepared foods. Or a kitchen supercombine, a coffee machine, or a bread maker. Something like that. Imagine there is some substance from which to create a human being. Imagine transferring information, a program, from one machine, be it a smartphone, a computer or the like. Imagine that in the same way it can be transferred into a human being. After all, since childhood, learning, we do the same thing, only not quickly. Imagine that you have a chip in your brain, into which the entire "Wikipedia" has been pumped. Now imagine without the chip. Because when we learn, understanding is recorded somewhere. Here's your clone, and here's his consciousness at once. It's also possible to download information to you. All of it. Even what you have already forgotten. And then save it, create a clone when you die, and pump it into him. You're alive again.

Now a little bit about quantum entanglement. It's such an interesting thing. In simple words, it looks like this. For example, you've seen how a game of billiards starts. One ball smashes a bunch of collected balls. It's roughly how a neutron, a small particle, enters an atom and rips it apart. At the same time, those particles inside the atom start to rage, hoot, holler, yell, scream, fight, fuss, so that the noise becomes enormous. So it's a nuclear explosion. There are particles that are friends with each other. They're called entangled pairs. They sort of dance together. If you separate them and let them fly apart and catch them somewhere in a special installation, they secretly communicate with each other. They continue their circling. Only now in opposite directions to each other. If one is from right to left, the other particle is necessarily from left to right. And this is ironcladly inviolable. Always. You can use this to influence one particle to influence another. For example, if you make one particle change its property, then the other particle will recognize it in some unimaginable way. This instantaneous connection is something that no one can understand or determine. No matter how far apart they are, they understand each other instantly. Beyond the speed of light.
