Introduction
It has been a staple of science fiction for decades. From Voltron Defender of The Universe to Superman to Thundercats to Supergirl the scenario is often the same. A hero activates a machine and the essence of a dead relative appears to them and gives them advice, in real time. I propose that such a machine is theoretically possible. The method is to capture the cellular dust/microzymas of a person at the exact point death [1], place said cellular dust in a quantum computer machine interface-and with a series of qubit permutations and combinations compel these microzymas to exactly mimic the thought patterns of the deceased. [2] The cerebral dust and other microzymas of the brain is all that will be required. [3] Appropriate vocals plus two- or three-dimensional graphics will appear on a screen or a hologram will be projected-based on images and voice of the deceased recorded during the deceased’s lifetime. Imagine having President George Washington weigh in on the present divide between Republicans and Democrats in the USA. Imagine having The Wright Brothers address NASA. Imagine having General Patton advise the US Military on its contemporary missions. Imagine the essence of Babe Ruth giving the Yankees a pep talks before a 21st century baseball game. How glorious it would be-the wisdom and experience of sage’s past with us today! Imagine a boy who has had a hard day at school having soothing conversations with his dearly departed father. Imagine a girl going through puberty having intimate discussions with her mother who passed away five years ago. More precious than any photograph and more realistic than any memories these machines will greatly uplift mankind. But the use of these machines must be regulated to prevent the cellular dust of tyrant’s past like Joseph Stalin from being preserved lest they wreck eviller in death than they did in life! If and when these machines are invented, they will be one of the most controversial inventions in human history. All Europe was agog when the first hot air balloons were flown in the 1700s. Before then the conventional thinking was “if God wanted man to fly, he would have made him with wings!” These machines might initially seem disturbing and some unscientific minds might even liken it to some kind of necromancy or witchcraft but with time and proper education people will get used to them. Like people got used to phonographs, telephones, cinema and the airplane. Psychologists and psychiatrists may argue that a machine such as this may be addictive and cause people to have problems “letting go”, ruin relationships with the living or make people descend into a fantasy world or lose touch with reality. Has the internet and our mobile devices not done that already? Some may postulate it will make people pine away like the famous mirror of Erised in the Harry potter book. I think once the user of the machine realizes their loved one is dead and that this machine is merely mimicking their loved one this will not be a problem. I think the advantages outweigh the advantages.
As long as the mainstream scientific community refuses to acknowledge the existence of the microzymas/cellular dust however these machines will remain, very unfortunately, in the realm of science fiction. [4-25]
