Channeling computer Mark Twain for an introduction he might say,”Well now, modern man he comes home in his fancy car, with a digital display on the outside showin’ the weather and all. Can’t say I understand the purpose of it, but that’s just how things are these days. But it got me thinkin’ ’bout the feedback loop of human interest in history. Take the World’s Fair a century ago I attended with my friend . Alexander Graham Bell, he’s lookin’ out at his small crowd at his booth, while across the room there’s a big crowd surroundin’ some fella who made a whistle out of a pig’s ear.He looked at me sadly and all I could do was shrug my shoulders.

Now this modern man, he sits in his livin’ room in front of his fancy LED TV, watchin’ documentaries ’bout ancient archeology sites that’ve just been discovered. The know all commentator, he goes on and on ’bout how the site is older than we thought and made by some unknown civilization. But does anyone else feel like with all of man’s technology and data gatherin’, we’re viewin’ history in reverse? Acceptin’ scholarly interpretation of history is like cavemen acceptin’ the gods are angry ’cause they hear thunder. It’s like we’re on a treadmill, extendin’ the past with unmodified intelligence of primitive qualities and not seein’ beyond the obvious.Makes you wonder, could these unexplained sites be like time capsules to raise future consciousness, just like monkeys sharpen sticks for fishin’ because they saw a human do it.

  Well bless my soul, it seems like everyone these days is all caught up in the latest fads and fashions, be it big-bottomed women or movie stars who can’t do their arithmetic.but are so popular they need Twitter to thank everyone for wishin’ ’em a happy birthday.

 But there’s a small handful of scientists and researchers out there who are working on developing technologies that could potentially extend human lifespans in the future. They’re studying everything from genetics and nanotechnology to regenerative medicine, and they’re finding inspiration in all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures from the natural world. You see, there’s all sorts of critters out there that can regenerate limbs, navigate with ultraviolet vision, communicate with multiple conversations at once, and even have multiple hearts and brains. But most folks, when you ask ’em what the difference is between a fish and a crow, they’ll tell you it’s whether or not they can eat it.

Now, I ain’t no expert in quantum mechanics, but I do know that there’s a lot of folks out there who are trying to make sense of this strange and mysterious subject. They’re talking about electric fields and qubits and spin couplings, and all sorts of other fancy-sounding words. And they’re trying to make sense of all these multiverses that might be out there. 

They are as believable as the Beatles learning their wisdom from Aleister Croley they were reported to have called Sergeant Pepper.But I say, why bother with all that? Why not just start with something that folks can relate to?

Instead of boggin’ you down with fancy explanations of choreographing amplitudes of wave dynamics and all that, I’ll start this book off by talkin’ about how quantum mechanics can be applied to real world issues that concern us all. Whether you believe in God or not, we all wonder what’ll happen to us when we die. Most folks’ve had a bit of superficial learnin’ in Sunday school or some such, but ain’t heard of Enoch or how God filled him with wisdom and gave him the ability to see the secrets of the universe.But they’ve all heard of a simple candle stick holder inside the temple that could supposedly get the will of God by lightin’ candles in a certain way. Now, let’s set aside the fact that candles weren’t even invented ’til 400 CE, long after the temple of Aaron and Solomon were around

Now, I ain’t saying that the menorah is a quantum computer, but I will say that its function is pretty similar to what we’re trying to do with these modern quantum computers. It is operated by voice control algorithms, and the priest’s focused attention and spoken words controlled the qubits, and the answers were projected at the top.Lookin’ at what Sunday school teaches us, the candlestick was supposed to be a way for the Hebrews to get God’s will before enterin’ the holy of holies. It was a way to tell ’em whether they’d win a comin’ battle or not. Now, let’s set aside the fact that God’s supposed to have said not to use devices to predict the future or face eternal damnation. But He also said He needed the candlestick holder to refresh his memory. Now I am no genius but that sounds alot like describing computing probabilities to find answers in modern quantum computers.At this point, most readers will be wonderin’ if I’m sayin’ the menorah was a quantum computer. In simple terms, its function is a lot like modern quantum computers. It was operated by voice control algorithms of the priests, focused on the power of spoken words and controlled qubits in the form of its nodes. The answers were projected at the top that, with a bit of analysis, could be compared to viewin’ wave functions in an instrument that measures light intensity to show the amplitudes. It sounds pretty far-fetched, I know, but my good friend Tesla,who few people understood or gave enough money to , said, “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than all the previous centuries of its existence.”

.Who knows, maybe we’ll even find out what happens when we die.

  Ain’t it about time we turn our attention to decoding them symbols and meanings? We got the know-how and the technology to make sense of the past and take control of the stories we tell ourselves. We can use newfangled algorithms and models to learn from data and understand complex patterns. And sure, we’ve been able to harness some of the principles of quantum theory to make atomic bombs and lasers, but we’re just skimming the surface of what’s possible. Who knows, if we consider the possibility of earlier civilizations that had a better grip on these principles, we might even find the secret to immortality.
