Lasertag and Quantum Physics

Ever wanted to be in two places at once? Or be able to teleport anywhere instantly? Here's a big question. If the quantum particles we are made of can, why can't we?

Perhaps the answer to that question is simple. Maybe we require more focus and concentration. Maybe we also require more energy. Both of which may be in part based on problems we have been facing for ten thousand years or something.

To put it in as simple a way as possible, our solar system orbits the galactic core, and we are as far from the galactic core as possible right now. We have taken centuries to get here, and we are slowly turning back around to race towards the galactic core again.

If you can think of how much energy there is coming off the sun, the 'core' of our solar system, and how to sustain life on earth we have to actually stay a certain distance from it, imagine how much more energy there is coming from the core of our galaxy. Now let's add a little more. As we orbit the sun, we get closer to it, and farther away. To some degree, and it may not be that noticable, the distance changes the relationship. Earth may get a little cooler, and then a little warmer. Or just a little more, energetic. But now imagine if the change in distance was between things much farther away, but one of them was so much more powerful. Just how much of a change would it make in our solar system if we get a light year or so closer to the galactic core? How much more energy would the sun have? How much more energy would Earth have? I know I won't live to find out, but to me the possibilities are exciting.

But until I find out I can do things I couldn't do before, I'm gonna have to wait to teleport from the house to work. Or play lasertag in two places at once. If I could be in two places at once though, I'd be my own best friend. I could play Halo with two controllers, against myself... but until then I'm looking for a buddy...

One more thing about our journey around the galactic core. We've been 'wandering into the darkness' for over 10,000 years, and we're beginning to head back into the light. Whatever you're going through, it is starting to get better. Chances are none of us alive today will live to see that golden age that will come thousands of years from now... but until then maybe we'll get to wait in heaven, and then come back to see how things have changed. I'm looking forward to it already!
