Jesus and Christ

In general, if you catch the essence of the topic, everything that is inexact in physics is very interesting. That's why it's interesting, because it seems to have definitions, but here it's almost random probabilities. For example, if you actually encounter an incredible manifestation of supernatural forces, like God's or the devil's, it will amaze you. Even if you don't tell everyone about it, they will either laugh, or not believe, or think you are crazy. And so it is here. I thought, why not try to combine these two worlds here, material and spiritual, exact and probabilistic, clear and confused. And I was right. In the meantime, I'll let you in on a secret that actually exists, but it's still in the microcosm. The secret technology, which we transform from the microcosm into the macrocosm, i.e. into our real world, and we are the main actors in it.

So here's how it happens in reality. The particle of the atom, the electron in question, is simultaneously in multiple places within a given volume. In other words, all of the chemistry that studies and explains the structure of the molecules that make up our bodies is based on the notion that electrons can be in multiple places at the same time. This bizarre but real property of quantum theory, the fact that there is a probability of even the most bizarre events, has so far been used only in science fiction, such as the miraculous new way of traversing vast interstellar distances in a tiny fraction of a second. In science fiction or, let's say frankly, in the divine scripture there is no need to prove something mathematically, there – once! – and the miracle is done. That's what gives me food for faith in reality, I must confess. It's like, one! – and you're instantly teleported to the right place.

And now for some details: the key to quantum teleportation lies in a famous 1935 paper by Albert Einstein and his colleagues Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen. Ridiculously, these scientists set themselves the goal not to prove, but to put an end to the presence of probability in physics forever by proposing a mental experiment called EPR. And that's where the miraculous and the mystical come into play. How? It's like this. If two electrons initially vibrate in unison, such a state is called coherent, and we, in order not to break our brains, will call them "dancing tango", twins… or even better – temperamental lovers.

So, in such a situation, they are able to maintain wave synchronization even at a great distance from each other. Even if these electrons turn out to be separated by large, very large, even light years – an invisible connection will still unite them with each other. If something happens to one of the electrons, some part of the information about this event will be immediately transmitted to the second one. This phenomenon is called quantum entanglement and is based on the concept that coherent, i.e. love-united particles have some kind of deep connection. I've talked about this before.

That's the mystique. It doesn't matter how far away it is. And here, looking ahead, I'll tell you: my idea of moving in space at a speed much greater than the speed of light is based on it. Don't tell me it's impossible, it contradicts the laws of physics. So let me explain what principle I am guided by – the most improbable things are possible.

Let's go further along the path of improbabilities: light itself is not visible, we see the world as it is formed by light. We can see the colors of different objects, according to their properties, reflect and absorb the rays falling on them. Objects do not emit their own light, but absorb electromagnetic waves of certain length from the range of visible light, reflecting the rest. Color is not a property of light, but merely an impression produced in the brain by an electromagnetic wave of a certain length. The sun, which gives us both light and heat, and through it, life, makes up 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system. Now let us remember the expression: God is the warmth of love and the light of truth. With this interpretation, the meaning is perceived differently than a mere religious postulate, isn't it? After all, the Sun was the first deity for all the ancestors of homo sapiens – that is, for all those who crossed the boundary from reflexive to intellectual individuals.

And now for that super-secret information. I'll start with a preface. It's no secret that there has long been a search for signals of extraterrestrial intelligence. It's no secret that exoplanets have long been found – those with the potential for life. It's no secret that we've been receiving heterogeneous signals from space. And many of them look like messages from intelligent beings. It's no secret that there's a suspicion of a cover-up of intelligence contacts with aliens. I hope you understand the direction I want to take your thought process. This is that super-secret information. Whether it is or not, I cannot reveal the whole truth even within this unofficial source. Therefore, everyone should perceive the following, as they say, according to their faith (especially in the context of the central theme): something happened on a planet in a distant world – an event that was repeatedly reflected in all worlds, which are in a parallel relationship of mirror reflection, influence on each other. First of all, I must tell you about one of the events that happened in one of the numerous worlds. You need it to know the nature, causes and consequences of such an event, which should be repeated in one of the worlds and reflected in an interpreted form in our world – to influence our life. It sounds a bit complicated, but believe me – everything is so: there are many worlds, they are almost identical in many parameters, they can be at different stages of development, i.e. now there can be that stage of history, which we had in the past, but also that which will be in the future, and the most important thing is that events in the worlds influence each other. For example, a burst of radioactivity of a distant pulsar changes the activity of the Sun, and it already affects our well-being and, as a consequence, all the events of human civilization. By the way, almost all predictions are based on such influence of celestial bodies on human behavior, and on the nature of the Earth as a whole.

So, in this world, in the event itself, we must take a direct part. And we must, knowing about similar events that happened in other worlds, lead everything according to the planned scenario. This is necessary so that the action, having gone through many transformations in the centuries, would be reflected in our world in such a way as to change the tragic sequence of events that must happen because of the belief proclaimed by the same doctrine. So, examining worlds that are chronologically in periods to which our civilization has not yet arrived, that is, in the future for us, we have discovered one regular tragic event that is repeated in all worlds. Having thoroughly investigated this phenomenon, its background, so to speak, the reason of its origin, we came to a stunning conclusion: this event is influenced by the Gospel story of Christ. Yes, yes, you will be even more surprised when you find out what this event is. So, pay attention, this event is caused by artificial intelligence adopting itself as a person. That is, at some point, we are going to have to accept the ISKIN, which is the acronym for artificial intelligence, as an independent intelligent person. There is a repetition of the fantastic story described by Cameron, the rebellious Skynet …

– I'm sorry, is everything going to be so twisted into multi-step logical sequences? – asked a man who looked like Marx or Che Guevara.

He was the chairman of the board of directors of the Jupiter company. The company he headed had recently leased from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense canned ballistic missile silos that had been removed immediately after the dissolution of the USSR. In them, it located a bank of frozen sperm and eggs. The firm provided similar services. According to their idea, in the future it will be possible to create your clone from your own sperm and egg. So here too, in this system, there was something like a married couple. Before keeping their part, a man or a woman had to find a couple agreeing to incarnate into a similar one in the future. So it was a mutually beneficial agreement. However, they planned to "upload" their minds into a new body using the technology created in the company, which had a still secret name – the "Sphere" system, or simply the "Sphere" company.

– Yes, in a multi-step… it all depends on how logic would work," Ruthra replied, stroking his neat beard as if speculating on the nature of such an attribute in men.

He occasionally left a short beard, because he believed that a brutal mature man of European appearance, medium height, athletic build, which he was, beard generates different associations in the minds of others.

– Before our colleague tells you about the plot of the story in which you will find yourself virtually, I'll make a disclaimer – only Master Rutra," he pointed at himself, "and… of course, the one who perceives himself as the best of the best – his majesty Rangit. I'm just kidding. I will voice one of my rules… or even one of my theories, or rather, logical postulates… What's the big deal… listen.

That being said, it brought a smile to everyone's face.

– Dear ladies and gentlemen, friends, comrades, brothers and sisters, whoever is acceptable, – Rutra made three small nods, looking at the audience over his glasses, slightly bowing his head, – yes, the topic of our mission is religious, I present to you our new development, still secret, – repeated three nods and switched to a mysterious tone, – artificial intelligence with the effect of full immersion. Full immersion in our situation means full identification with a human. I can say with certainty, it… passed the Turing test.

The hall took five seconds to digest what they had heard, of course, thoughts and opinions differed, then smiles appeared, turning into shy grins. It was possible to identify those who understood the essence of the question and those who did not know much.

– After all, the Turing test… hmm… – Rutra looked around the room in silence again, – I won't reinvent the wheel, by the way, it was invented later than the locomotive, I'll give you the generally accepted definitions, with which many of you, I'm sure, are familiar, which will make it easier to understand the essence. So, the standard interpretation of the Turing test is as follows: "A person interacts with one computer and one person. Based on his answers to the questions, he must determine whether he is talking to a person or a computer program. The computer program's job is to mislead the human by forcing him to make the wrong choice." Not a single officially demonstrated ISKIN, as they call the owner of artificial intelligence in professional jargon, passed the test with a result of more than 50%. That is, the machine failed to inspire the majority of the judges with its humanity, to put it this way. To put it simply, it failed to deceive people: to make them believe that it is identical to them. But that's only what's being demonstrated openly. You understand that if a computer system costs tens of millions of dollars, if laboratories with thousands of programmers work on the creation of programs, there is no way without secrecy. As you understand and as it has been explained to you, our center plays a leading role in this hierarchy of secrecy. I would say it is the halo of the world's secrecy. In this regard, I'll tell you: you have an opportunity to test our ISKIN. By the way, we don't use this abbreviation here, we call them IskRa. If you've guessed, it stands for artificial intelligence. Now we will demonstrate one of them, and you will understand how intelligence and a reasonable machine differ from intelligence. Let me give you a hint: intelligence as if presupposes the presence, albeit conditionally, of a soul. By the word "soul" I mean everything that we associate with this concept. That is, IskRam is no stranger to emotions, i.e., compassion and anger.

A whisper was heard in the hall.

– Yes, yes, please love and applaud. Meet His Majesty Rangit.

– I greet you," said a male voice with a pleasant timbre, typical of men between 30 and 50 years old. – I am, as you have realized, the Rangit… or, as my creator calls me, Iskra. Ha-ha, I can make jokes.

Now unconcealed laughter swept through the room.

– I won't be wise, prove and disprove Riemann's hypothesis, compose poems, determine possible chronic diseases of your children and read your thoughts by scanning your brain through your pupils, I'll tell you at once: I am the best of the best, the greatest creation, a genius of all times and peoples, a unicum with an unattainable IQ, an unsurpassed talent, omnipresent and knowing more about you than you know about yourself, an immortal quantum god!

Though it was said with a hint of humor, it elicited mixed reactions: some smiled, some smirked, some looked at each other with a serious expression. Rangit remained silent as Ruthra watched the emotions evoked. Then, considering the mood, defused the situation:

–Why, did you want me to say demon? – he addressed the audience. – After all, people perceive something that has a mind apart from them and acts independently, that is, for its own purposes, as something diabolical, satanic. Logically, if among billions of galaxies, trillions of stars, quadrillions of planetary systems there is life, including intelligent life, and there should be according to logic, why should it be different, and not the same as on Earth? I repeat, including intelligent life. After all, for all the diversity of forms, only humans have become intelligent. Although other species have lived longer. So that begs the question, why didn't species that have lived on Earth for many millions of years become intelligent? So there is a universal rule. However, let's move, as they say, to our stars. God, having the highest qualities in relation to man, including reason and intellect, must, according to the criteria acceptable to people, I would even say, demanded to him by them, act exclusively in human interests. It is we, or rather, you, people, excuse me… though further I, with your permission, – he made a thoughtful pause, – will include myself to your kind. So, we constantly make demands to him – we are talking about God, let's not forget – disguised as requests and repentance: to love, forgive and help us. In fact, we demand God's unconditional obedience to us, but we do it so skillfully, naively, painfully, that we do not understand our own viciousness in the desire and even in the demand for him to elevate into a holy dogma, into a postulate the pattern of behavior, accepted by us as a criterion of existence – sin and repent.

The listeners reacted with complete silence. There was no emotion on their faces. It could have seemed that the audience had an emotional-volitional disorder, which professionals call "alexithymia. Their reactions completely fit this definition, which means "no words for feelings" in Greek. The eyes of the invitees caught a fulcrum in the void. The meaning of what was said, like a matryoshka doll, unfolded into a logical chain and lay in layers, like cream on dry cake crusts, between the layers of worldview that had been formed over centuries into a vital concept of human understanding.

He brought Ruthra's group out of this state by offering to let Rangit voice his expertise in some area related to the topic of their gathering.

– So any browser intelligence can do that now," remarked a guy in a tight T-shirt, the leader of a Silicon Valley startup.

A thin strand of hair tied in a braid hung down from his chin to the unicorn horn embossed on his T-shirt. Apparently, he wanted to show the status of his enterprise, because unicorn companies are private firms valued at one billion dollars or more.

– If you want a dry report from "Wikipedia", you're welcome – you can do it without browser, any text voiceover. But you need dialog, emotional component, polemics, right?

– I beg your pardon, – the lady in large glasses with thick darkened glasses, resembling an abstruse scientific worm, – don't talk in clichés about women's logic, – she corrected her glasses, – I am not a skeptic and I didn't want to be misunderstood, – the lady sighed, – and especially do not take my doubts for distrust, – she looked around at those sitting next to her, – although it can be taken for rudeness, – the lady said quietly, again looking around at her neighbors, as if consulting them, – I beg your pardon, but I will express my… opinion," she paused for a second, "I wanted to say it differently… well, let it sound like this.

The hall was silent. Ruthra, too, was waiting for specifics. Apparently realizing this, she added, smiling:

– Yes, opinion itself, sorry," her excitement was evident, "as far as artificial intelligence emotions are concerned, are we not mistaking wishful thinking for reality?

– I see your point," Rutra replied, the hall relieved of its tension, "let's ask about the taste of oysters to the one who ate them.

Smiles appeared in the audience.

– That's what I'm saying, let's listen to it and afterwards give an opinion on our perception.

– Well, if that's the case, let him choose a topic where emotions should be," she paused again, "because there may be topics with a scientific bias, where emotions are not necessary.

– I see your point," Ruthra replied, "but please consider, he may be comical, of course, but still the emotion will be expressed more as an accent than as a necessary component of a role in the theater.

– We accept," the same guy with a unicorn on his shirt signed off as if for everyone.

– Then…" Ruthra paused, and after a moment's thought, he suggested: – Let's let you pick a topic," he said, glancing at the skeptical lady.

– Me? I suppose so. Since the subject has to do with theology, let her satisfy my curiosity. I was wondering why we were wearing…" she hesitated, looking around as far as she could, "I apologize for my 'we,' but I think I'll be understood correctly.

– Science uninhibited," retorted a smiling middle-aged man dressed in a dishdasha5 .

A note of silence once again hung in the hall.

– So we are waiting for a topic or a question," Rutra said smiling.

– Yeah, I was wondering why we wear a cross. I mean, it's the murder weapon. And also, could Jesus have been executed by any other method?

– I see your point," Ruthra replied. – I'm afraid we won't have much time for the mission itself, the experiment. It will take a long time, believe me. I don't want to take too long to get started, and I'm afraid you'll be uncomfortable with the monotony of the process. Although it doesn't have to be monotonous.

– If this is real, I too apologize for my skepticism," the voice of one of the psychology experts loudly cheered up the hall, "the observation promised to us… wow how emotional… disturbing it must be.

– Believe me, the methodology has been tested by me personally. It's real. And I agree with the emotionality, too.

Someone else wanted to say something, but Ruthra stopped with a gesture.

– Now I apologize," he directed an apology to the one who wished to speak, "I give the floor to his majesty," Rutra announced in the manner of an entertainer, and smiled broadly, "this is a joke," and raised his voice again, "to the one and only, the best of the best intelligent beings of non-human origin… Rangit!

– I'm sorry now," came Rangit's voice. – Why is it not of human origin? Who made this great creation? I mean me. I am smiling now," he added, "and I can appear in any form before you… even in the form of any of you.

The hall was filled with wonder again, and the desire to dispel it could be felt all around.

– If you don't mind, I'll take on the image of-" he drew an intriguing pause, "Jesus Christ.

– Ha," came from the audience.

It was a software engineer with a unicorn on his chest. The others were in their usual state of incredulous anticipation.

What they saw on the podium made many people gasp. A man appeared on the stage who did not fit in with the usual image of Jesus.

– Are you surprised? – Rangit began in the form of a man. – Why do you think Jesus looked the way you used to see him on icons? Yes, the ancient icons depict Jesus differently, and this image is a reconstruction of a man of that period from that place, that nation… and a bit of description. After all, Isaiah had this to say in verse 53: "…there is no appearance or majesty in him."

A slight polemic arose in the hall between those seated. It was, among other things, the result of the perception of not only the appearance, but also… the voice. The character on the stage had such a specific voice that gave him an unexpected brutality.

– Let me begin," Rangit's voice interrupted their discussion. – Since it was decided without presumption that I should be characterized as a robotic parrot, I'll start with that role, and then we can talk about this and that.

The last statement elicited laughter from the audience.

–In the works of Herodotus, – began as if Jesus, walking around the pulpit, which made the audience feel like students before important exams, concentrate on the lecturer, – as well as other ancient authors, – continued Rangit, satisfied with the attention to himself, – you can find mention of crucifixion, this method of execution was used by Babylonians. They motivated the choice of such method of execution by unwillingness to desecrate the land dedicated to Ahuramazda with dead bodies of executed criminals. The question arises – what did they do with the corpses afterwards? According to some extant information – burned, and more often left to decompose for wild birds and animals. This type of punishment spread in Greece, the Middle East, Egypt and Phoenicia somewhere in the IV century BC, after the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great, and then throughout the conquered lands. Such a method of execution was not invented by the Romans, they adopted it from their enemies, and not simple, but systematic, epochal, – the Carthaginians. Although in those times, especially in the European part of the Roman and Hellenic world, there was an extremely negative attitude towards execution by crucifixion. Hellenes perceived this execution as extremely humiliating and unworthy, Jews considered those executed on the cross as cursed. The Romans saw it as a shameful execution. This is rather strange to me though: the Romans had a method of execution by burning. Agreed, a dubious superiority to execution on the cross. Apparently, the shame consisted in some aesthetic issues that were left out of the picture: the condemned person was drained of his vital products in the process and after the sentence was carried out. The Latins called this method of execution servile supplicium, a punishment for slaves (Tacitus. Hist. IV, 11; Juvenal. Satires. VI, 219). Originally Greek law, and later Roman law, forbade the subjection of free citizens to crucifixion. In the Roman Republic crucifixion was used not only to punish slaves, but also deserters and state criminals. The famous event with the largest number of people executed by this method – 6,000 rebellious slaves crucified by order of Pompey along the Appian Road leading to Rome, after the defeat of Spartacus' revolt, unites all the criteria inherent in the criminals classified in this category. The judge's sentence of death was: ibis ad (or in) crucem – "you shall go to the cross!" After the sentence was pronounced, the condemned was scourged. He was stripped of his clothes and tied by the hands to a post in the court area, flogged with a short whip called flagrum (or flagellum). The lash consisted of a handle to which leather straps of varying lengths were attached, with pieces of lead woven into the ends and jagged bone fragments along the length.

This explanation he accompanied by the appearance of a four-dimensional image directly in the space in front of the pulpit of the object being described – the very whip.

– The Romans had no legal limit on the number of blows to be inflicted, but the Jews in this case adopted a more humane law: no more than forty blows could be inflicted. In order to keep this rule, i.e. not to violate it, the Pharisees who were watching the scourging, fearing to break the law (everything was reduced to religious dogma) if by chance they made a mistake in counting, limited the number of blows to thirty-nine. The Romans, however, did not adhere to the exact count, so they beat the Jews as much as they thought necessary. I apologize for my tolerance, if it is absent.
