Could Shiki Cause Quantum Entanglement and Create Black Holes and How Could It Help the Crew If He Could?
I was thinking about the Schrodinger’s tardigrade experiment, and a friend of mine brought up something similar to what I was thinking and I went off on a long tangent on why quantum entanglement likely already existed in the Eden’s Zero universe and why, but it quickly made me realize some cool things about Shiki’s ether gear and it’s potential on a micro and macro scale. This is that tangent simplified and condensed as much as possible, but there is a lot of speculation and thinking out loud.
Also if you know more than I do about either of these topics, feel free to correct any of my information and/or add to the theories! Even if you don’t know more about it, I would love to hear your thoughts and other applications you think Shiki could use these for!
First a quick rundown on quantum entanglement:
Quantum entanglement is the state where two systems are so strongly correlated that gaining information about one system will give immediate information about the other no matter how far apart they are. It breaks the law that information cannot be transmitted faster than light.
Currently, Quantum entanglement is only possible by putting what they plan to entangle (usually a qubit, which is used for quantum super computers) in an extreme vacuum and lowering their temp to as close to absolute zero (-273.15 C/ 0 kelvin) as possible, so that the atoms cannot vibrate. Electrons can still move, but the rest of the atom is frozen in place. This creates a Bose-Einstein condensate within the matter of the qubit.
Qubits can work in more than just pairs, however, so its possible to create entire quantum entangled systems. Such is the case with The Eagle, which is currently the most powerful quantum processor in the world with 127 qubits.
Now that that’s out of the way, how does this related to Eden’s Zero?
Well, first and foremost, the internet! Depending on planetary positions, it can take anywhere between five and twenty minutes to send a message to the rovers are Mars. In Eden’s Zero, we know the entire internet is connected and that messages are instant and stable enough for video calls regardless of where people are in the universe, this suggests the consistent and stabilized use of quantum entanglement on a mass scale.
But how? Quantum supercomputers must be kept at that extremely low temperature in order for the information transmissions to be instant or even within a respectable amount of time. Is all the technology equipped with tiny quantum entangled qubits and a system to keep them cold? Is it only some tech? Does every planet have one quantum super computer that everyone connects to with signal, an advanced form of Bluetooth, or maybe even their version of wifi? But then how would spaceships out in the middle of nowhere connect since space is mostly empty?
We also know that this information passes instantly across different cosmos as well, so I can’t think of anything besides quantum entanglement that would allow for information to behave that way. I mentioned how long it takes information to pass just from Earth to Mars, and with mine and a friend’s personal theory being that each cosmos is probably about the size of individual observable universes(because the actual universe is estimated to be about 150 sextillion times the size of the observable universe, which is about 93 lightyears across. Number’s are based on Alan Guth’s theory of cosmic inflation), then without quantum entanglement, messages wouldn’t reach outside of one cosmos for a very very very long time. (If you’d like to know more about the theoretical real size of the universe, I recommend this video by reallifelore on youtube)
Quantum computers would be incredibly difficult to keep everywhere like that, especially since the moment they become too warm, the quantum entanglement would be ruined.
So, since there’s no way to back instant messaging in the Eden’s Zero universe with pure science, what about ether gear?
The reason things can become quantum entangled is because when matter is in the Bose-Einstein condensate state of matter, they’re predictable due to the natural disordered movement of the atoms disappearing at the low temperatures.
So what if they don’t need to be cooled to as close to absolute zero as possible to be predictable?
The solution is gravity, and in the case of Eden’s Zero, Shiki’s ether gear.
If you compress water with enough gravity, it turns into a solid because the compression causes less possible movement and disorder. There’s several forms it can take depending on how much pressure is applied, but ice VI through ice XI are the ones I know anything about. Once you get to ice VII (said as “Ice seven”) the temperature is irrelevant. There’s so much pressure and gravity affecting the water that it is now a solid without because frozen. Gravity packs the atoms as tightly together as a natural solid.
So could gravity cause something to hit absolute zero and for qubits to function for quantum entanglement? I think it could, which is where we finally get around to using it practically in a way that doesn’t involve the internet.
Everything I’m about to say is entirely theoretical in nature so please take it with a grain of salt.
If Shiki or other gravity users could learn to contol their gravity so acutely that they could create small quibits, they could do so many different things with them.
Firstly, the more updated and stable the quibits, the more they could update their technology. Imagine if the entire ship was set to function with quantum entangled functions designed to facilitate commands faster and stronger! Imagine if the androids could all update their tech to be constantly connected to everything without the need for outside processors! This could leave them at risk for getting hacked, but how many people could hack a quantum super computer, especially if they have measures against it, and when the state their hacking is instantly predicted by the other parts of the qubit system? How could Weisz update arsenal with the inclusions of quantum entangled systems?
Secondly, since Bose-Einstein condensates are usually made of gasses, could the gasses neurotransmitters in the brain be affected by quantum entanglement? Could Shiki learn to control other people’s nervous systems but linking their brain’s frequency with something else? Could he use to directly transmit thoughts or choreographed movements the same way a super computer transmits data? I think these are among the least likely to be possible, but I still thought about them, so I’m sharing anyways.
Thirdly, how could he use this in a fight? Personally I think using it to upgrade the technology beyond what seems scientifically plausible is much cooler than the other stuff I’ve listed, but what if he could make anything denser with the same set of skills he could use for quantum entanglement by pulling the atoms themselves closer together instead of making them heavier? It’d be incredibly useful for defense since he’s usually a more offensive fighter. Could he create new elements by smashing different protons and neutrons into an atom? How could other people on the ship use those elements to better their technology and give them an edge against Ziggy? Could he properly stabilize new elements?
Could he go even further and do things like this on a macro scale to create super dense objects like black holes? Additionally, would he be able to fluctuate time by using the event horizon of that black hole to his advantage? Would he need Rebecca’s help to do that? Could they used this so reverse the damage caused by chronophages in any way?
According to the information and theories we have about black holes, space and time partially trade positions at the event horizon of a black hole. While normally time is linear, once you meet the event horizon, Space becomes linear due to intense gravity warping space time to such a degree that the velocity of an object would need to move faster than the speed of light to escape. Which brings another question to mind. Could he use quantum entanglement to get back on the right side of the event horizon?
And finally, can he cause Spaghettification (the act of an object stretching and compressing perpendicular to an object with extreme gravity as it gets closer to it)?
That’s all my thoughts for the time being. Thank you for reading!
