The Wild Blue Yonder Page #3

---

mathematically by Poincare.

So let me show you how are these tunnels generated.

So you start off looking from the Sun

towards the Earth, and here is the Moon's orbit.

And one of these large orbits, it

is actually larger that the Moon's orbit,

what we call halo orbit around

the L2 Lagrange point of the Earth.

And it is the gateway that is invisible,

so each time you look at the Sun

or look at the Moon

you're actually looking at these gateways.

They're invisible and they provide

this free transport through

these huge huge tunnels.

Now, this little animation will show you

how the tubes of the Earth

and tubes of the Moon interact

to provide this low-energy

transport. So that we can actually conceive

of putting a space station around the

Moon's Lagrange points either in L1

or L2, where it is very easy for astronauts

to get to the Moon

and also to come back to the Earth.

But at the same time, they can service missions deep

in space, so for example

in this case we're going to look at how

from the L1, the Luna L1,

station go to the center spacecraft to the Sun-Earth L2

which is 1.5 million kilometres.

And from there you can actually deploy

and have it go to Mars and so on.

So the yellow dot represents

one of these space stations.

And so, as we pan out, we see that the Moon's

tubes, the red tubes, are like the offrames

that allow you to leave and the blue tubes

allow you to get on to the next gateway at L2

And here it extends out to space.

And here's the Earth's

onwrap, the Earth going to L2 and when these

tubes intersect that is when you get the free transport.

But from here you can also deploy to the other

parts of the Solar system

and so this offers opportunities

that we don't have from

just looking at Keplerian orbits.

And the same way in the future

using string theory, we are going to have

much more powerful tunnels,

tunnels that will allow us to, perhaps,

go through the spacetime.

And that then, is the possibility of going to

the stars and to the galaxies.

Now, let me jump.

And so here is the conception,

like an artist conception, first of just

a gravitational tunnels that we're working with

but eventually, instead of planets

it will be tunnels

between galaxies.

By utilising chaotic transport,

the astronauts found a shortcut.

The direct route to my planet.

It makes me angry.

Or I should rather say upset that

we didn't even know about this.

Soon, they would be at the doorstep

of the Wild Blue Yonder.

It was already in their sights.

There it lay - covered by

a crust of ice.

They made preparations for landing.

What makes my planet

so different and beautiful

is the sky there.

The sky is frozen.

Just thinking about it makes me homesick.

Leaving the ship behind, they cut through the ice.

And found themselves descending into

an atmosphere of liquid helium.

And what makes it even worse for me

is to be so far away, watching human

beings exploring my world.

And I could take in these images raw

just as they were recorded by the camera.

And I can hear the sound of

the Wild Blue Yonder.

This was home to me.

I should also tell you that the other thing

that makes my planet so beautiful

is its wild life.

The creatures would always speak to you.

They try to make contact.

And now they're sad,

because they're left alone.

And here I see that your astronauts either

ignored them or rejected them

or did not treat them with respect.

After the first day of the exploration

they began to warm up to the idea

of a colony on this planet.

Sure it looked inhospitable.

But compared to what they saw

from the Galileo space probe

it seemed to be

a reasonable solution.

But what would the colony look like?

Digging tunnels or caverns underground,

building a big dome, some sort of protection

from the chaotic flow of particles?

Oh well, in all these systems, it turns out

that if you look around us, the Universe,

chaos is not a negative thing.

It actually allows us to conserve

energy in many ways.

And so, in this particular...

in the superhighway concept, chaos

is extremely important, because

that is what generates this very free

and inexpensive transport.

Part of the puzzle with space travel is really

the colonisation of space.

And in the mid 20th century our concept of

how that would happen

might be that we would build a large force field,

a dome of some type, over some planet

or some floating island, underneath which

would be giant amazon-type forest.

A jungle of some sort.

But the jungle is not really where human beings,

at least not humans today, want to live in.

So the ideal environment might be

something like

a shopping mall in space.

Because you have everything from stores

you can shop at, places to go gym and aerobics,

bars, entertainment.

You could shop all day long

or there would be working places.

So this might be, for the future, the perfect

space colonization paradigm.

A shopping mall?!?

I could've told them.

We had a similar plan,

but you saw it didn't work.

Where are the shoppers, if I may ask?

Where are they?

It makes me so sad thinking of all that merchandise

sitting there unsold.

And what makes me even more sad

is that my planet started dying

hundreds of years ago

and here they are: seeing this as

a potentional replacement for Earth?

They began to map out

specific suitable locations.

On the second day they ventured down into

the low-ceiling basements of my planet.

They hoped to find the ideal place to install sewer pipes,

electric cables

and an air supply system.

And after they were done with the cellars

they consulted their compasses

which led them to explore

our big valley and the sky above it.

And this area we used to call the Cathedral.

The Blue Cathedral.

Now, it was time to return home.

Back to planet Earth.

What they knew was that they can

use this portal as a tunnel of time.

This was a difficult process and it took patience.

Each astronaut would, in turn

have to pass through this tunnel.

And by doing so, have to dissolve

into particles and subsequently, into pure light.

Now, back in their world,

it took time for the

astronauts to reassemble

and morph back into human form.

They believed that they were somehow

back on Earth.

And that they were only 15 years older.

But their existence back here

was just an illusion. What really

happened was this: they had not been out

there for 15 years. They

had moved so fast through

the tunnel of time that it actually became a different,

a parallel voyage and on Earth 820 years had passed.

They began to see their planet in a different light

with a different possibilities.

We had an ambition that then,

when lot of humanity will be living

outside of planet Earth,

they would be working

in other places, maybe Mars, maybe

they will be working on asteroids,

that we will have already moved to the vicinity of Earth,

so we can mine them and we can take care of their resources.
