The Fall of Hyperion



Beware of unexpected doors!

Making contact with the science



What do we mean by a StarGate




• Any instantaneous transport





• Usually associated with a gate or a tube (slime trails in space)






• View from the backside? stargates & the continuum







• StarGates & Faster-than-light travel (i.e. Instant!)







• StarGates & Faster-than-light travel (i.e. Instant!)

• StarGates & Parallel universes (don’t go there)



FTL = Time Travel



FTL = Time Travel

• Instant from A to B (from A’s perspective)



FTL = Time Travel


• Instant from B to A (from B’s perspective)



FTL = Time Travel



• Backwards in time to A



FTL = Time Travel



• Backwards in time to A

• Watch out for paradox noise



StarGates in Science

• Quantum Teleportation (EPR)

• ER Wormholes: Einstein-Rosen Bridges (ER)

• Quantum entangled wormholes (ER = EPR)



Spooky action at a distance




• Mysterious connection





• Newton disapproves






• Einstein disapproves






• Einstein disapproves

• Bell confirms



FLASH

• Use EPR to send information faster than light

• 1982!



No cloning



No cloning• No-cloning

discovered by from FLASH!





• Information conserved





• Information conserved

• Deep & imperfectly understood



Quantum teleportation




• Moving quantum information





• Like transferring pod people





• Like transferring pod people

• Except that the original is lost!

• Black hole glue

• Then large rollers to flatten out on each side



Negative Energy



Negative Energy• Lots of

positive energy required





• Also, negative energy





• Also, negative energy

• Constant feature of all wormholes



Quantum Banking



Quantum Banking

• Longer the pulse, the weaker



Quantum Banking


• Pay-back ensues



Quantum Banking


• Pay-back ensues

• And interest



vortices



vortices• Strong association

between vortices & stargates





• Framedragging





• Framedragging

• May be hard to keep the wormhole mouth open without something spinning.

• Einstein thought of earlier

• Einstein thought of earlier

• Solves some problems with black holes



Information paradox



But Black Holes “eat” information



Hawking Radiation



Hawking Radiation

• Virtual pairs form all the time



Hawking Radiation


• Sometimes one captured, other escapes



Hawking Radiation


• Sometimes one captured, other escapes

• Carrying energy with it



Hey dude, where’s my Qbits?



ER = EPR



ER = EPR• Catchy name: Einstein-

Rosen = Einstein-Podolski-Rosen





• Wormholes & entangled particles: opposite ends of size spectrum





• Wormholes & entangled particles: opposite ends of size spectrum

• Solves some technical problems



Lots of tub-y things



Lots of tub-y things• Stuff falls into

Black Hole




Black Hole

• Hawking radiation escapes




Black Hole

• Hawking radiation escapes

• But mysterious connection causes information to be preserved



Quantum Monogamy



Quantum Monogamy

• Except now the stuff falling in is connected to lots of stuff escaping out, violating monogamy!



But is it Crazy enough to be True?




• Negative energy

• Entropy and the direction of time

• Meaning of space time



Are we positive about energy?




• Average Weak Energy condition: energy mostly positive





• Requirement from quantum field theory





• Requirement from quantum field theory

• But may not be fundamental



Entropy & the direction of time




• “Deepest humiliation”





• Entropy or bust





• Entropy or bust

• But …



Fabric of spacetime



Fabric of spacetime• Discontinuity

in space & time




in space & time

• Thru space?




in space & time

• Thru space?

• Around in the bulk?

• Shared via quantum interference?



Uses of StarGates



Uses of StarGates• Fill in plot holes,




• Give us deeper understanding of our theories & our universe,





• Maybe, even, help get the human race a bit of badly needed breathing room,





• Maybe, even, help get the human race a bit of badly needed breathing room,

• And lots of fun!
