What do you do if you were a filmmaker who wants to make a movie that’s entirely played by robots emulating human beings in everyway possible, and doing it to a high degree of fidelity?
What you do is hire engineers and instruct them to work
on inventing technology that will make it possible to “hear” the natural human
sounds, and “see” the natural human movements, and then bestow onto the
artificial robots the ability to replicate those sounds and movements. The idea
is to let the robots be who they are but talk and move like human beings.
The engineers will find that some of this technology
already exists. It allows the sounds of the natural world – including those produced
by humans – to transfer onto artificial fabrications such as the telephone and
other gadgets. That technology is called “Modulation,” and here is how it
works:
You talk into a censor called microphone that is so
sensitive to sound, it converts the natural pressure of your breath and that of
other sounds into electrical impulses of small amplitude. These impulses
modulate larger ones, thus shape them into their own image. The latter go to a
loud speaker where they create an audio amplifier, or go to an antenna where
they create a radio broadcast.
Television came after the radio, and did to vision what
radio did to sound. It necessitated the invention of new censors that were
sensitive to light instead of sound. These censors are utilized to pick up the
varied levels of a landscape’s light, and turn them into small electrical
signals. The latter serve to modulate larger signals which go to reproduce the
image of the landscape.
Having reached this level of sophistication, do you think
it would be hard for the engineers to make robots look, sound and behave like
human beings? No, it would not. In fact, all that the engineers need to do is
invent new censors, wire them differently, and use them to bestow onto the
robots the sounds, the looks and the motions of human beings. This technology
is now in the experimental stage, and it will not be long before we see scenes
of animals, even inanimate objects, move and sound like human beings.
What else is there that can be done or that is being done
in this realm? Well, there is artificial intelligence, which is the attempt to
bestow onto artificial products the power of human thinking. So far, this
technology involves only the creation of software which can organize data in
ways that emulate human thinking. No new censors or modulation are needed here.
However, Quantum Computing deals with a phenomenon that’s
known to happen in the world of physics. It has blended with artificial
intelligence, thus introduced hardware for the engineers to dabble with. In
fact, Quantum Computing is based on the property of matter to switch from being
a particle to a wave, and vice-versa. The utility of this property, is that we
have a binary situation (particle or wave — 0 or 1) that’s at the basis of
computer language. But what will this add to what’s already in existence? It
will add a phenomenal increase to the speed of computing.
To understand this part, we need to know what is meant by
access time (also known as response time.) It is that computers are made of
chips which are groups of registers that constantly load or unload an
electrical charge representing 1 when loaded or 0 when unloaded. When the chips
communicate with each other by moving streams of 1s and 0s among themselves,
the speed at which they do so, is limited by the time it takes to load or unload
the registers of their electrical charges. This is the access (response) time that
determines at what speed a computer can operate.
But how does Quantum Computing figure in all of this? It is that matter switches from one state to another (a particle or a wave) millions of times faster than a register can load or unload its electrical charge. This property shortens the access (response) time, thus makes the computer operate considerably faster.
Now this question: Is there a way by which one human
being can use his own thinking to modulate that of another human being, thus
shape it to look the same as his own? Apparently, Clifford D. May says yes, this
can be done. In fact, he wrote an article in which he does just that. The
article came under the title: “What is Putin thinking?” and was published on
January 24, 2023 in The Washington Times.
What Clifford May did in that article, was to transfer
his own thinking concerning the current state of the world to the thinking of
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. Normally a subtle member of Jewish Central, Clifford
May broke with tradition, and modulated his own thinking to a higher amplitude for
this occasion. And so, he made Putin sound more ominous than he really is — as
ominous as Jewish Central gets to be on a bad day.
Here, in condensed form, is a compilation of what
Clifford May transferred to Putin:
“The Ukrainians may think they want
freedom, but what they need is order — the order that a czar provides. I
threaten to play the nuclear card, but I don’t. I hold it because to use it is
to lose it. And if this strategy brings me victory in Ukraine, I can play it
again. Moldova would be the lowest-hanging fruit. It’s not a NATO member. After
that, maybe I’d invade Lithuania from Belarus. Even if I took only the southern
part of that country, I’d then have a land bridge to Kaliningrad, where my
Baltic fleet is based. Yes, Lithuania is a member of NATO, but which other NATO
members are going to send their troops to die to liberate southern Lithuania,
especially after Ukraine and Moldova have been ceded? From there, I could move
on to reclaim other breakaway provinces”.
