SSR: The world has lived
under the threat of nuclear fire from an atomic war for more
than a half century, and in all of that time we have not heard
of any new, viable weapons of mass destruction appearing on the
horizon. Politicians remain focused on the proliferation of
nuclear technology, such as under development in your home
country of Iran. Do you believe that the governments of the
world have been conducting secret research into new technologies
that might someday replace atomic devices as the ultimate
weapons of mass destruction
Mammad: I'm not sure Gary,
but its probability sounds low. Like many others,
I've heard about Death Ray Weapon or potential nightmares of
X-Ray laser,
but I have a different viewpoint.
Consider the dangers of current atomic weapons, expenses for
supporting their security, fear of using them in a classic war
or by terrorist groups, troubles of successful hitting them to a
target, and converting them as a prestigious symbol of the
having nations, while I feel that's not a real honor for the
people. If we in the south countries, or you in the west are
proud of ability to destroy the human beings, that would be a
sign of throughout depression, frustrated to improve the global
situations by peaceful approaches. In the modern era, no
government imagines an extensive assault on a location causing
the effects more than that of a nuclear bombarding.
Anyway, I can last my justifications for a long time for you
that the general psychological conditions of the world do not
accept such weapons, however that can be felt naturally. For
example, if America announces inventing such kind of innovations
while is not in a serious conflict with China or Russia, they
might threaten to exit the UNO and deny their global
responsibilities until a new military balance, moreover they
might found an extreme desire to apply their H-bombs, as soon as
feeling the tiniest suspicious sign, like biting a man by a
terrified snake, because it feels being weaker. Since
researching on military inventions originates from the fear of
"others," I think more and more education by the independent
mass media, along with more clearance and highest precision
toward minimizing the mistakes in military decisions in free
countries, plus most extreme and
roughest global observations on dictator regimes and/or with
retarded culture, having old conflicts with neighbors, unusual
nationalist roots in their history, etc, could help to not
watching a warfare by more deathful devices. As a good news, if
I'd realize a practical space warp, that would imply
fundamentally novel orders of using the mass destruction
weapons.
SSR: How do you foresee the
governments of the world responding to the military implications
of worm hole technology?
Mammad: Well, answering to
this question needs citing some psychological
facts. I think people most commonly terrify of the phenomena
that do not know and have an unpleasant feeling - by the
instinct - toward something they cannot recognize. When a place,
a stuff or a face is unfamiliar to you, your natural behavior is
taking a defense guard, up to habituating with the surrounding.
Therefore, what is the source of this sense? Survival!
Disregarding suicide committers among some humans and dolphins,
all organic systems try to live and stay alive, longer and
better.
Wormhole technology, like any sort of communicational
technology, has one basic goal: taking something from the point
A, to the point B (safer, and more rapidly).
Remember the history of with-wire and wireless telephones, cars
and tanks, planes and fighters, telescopes and satellites,
missiles and shuttles, ships and submarines, etc and see how
they found application in the wars. All of them have the role of
contact, deliver something to another, and gather more
information for a better knowledge. Wormhole technology can be
analyzed within this frame. I've heard there is a motto in
Texas, which is: "God created the people and Colt made them
equal," but equal in what? Killing each other! Well, that's the
American style of living and has some good and some bad
features. No matter how much you're strong, if you can hurt or
kill me, I might be unable to hurt you, but I can kill you. Now,
generalize this picture to a world where every country has the
capability of achieving others without any serious trouble. For
instance, White House might be afraid of conventional bombs of
the North Korea, not even the unconventional ones! So the
immediate cure to that end, if all would make an agreement that
life is a good thing for us (and should be good for others too),
and we do not intend to die in a war (at least until a second
announce), is try to become the world more ethical. However, it
seems like a dream, but has the most importance. I guess and
hope this technology would cause to deep modifications in the UNO, toward establishing a real "global republic." By adopting a
suitable policy, fighting for the ground gets meaningless (more
than now). Hitler attacked on Poland in 1939, and said the
Germany needs more "living space." When there is no serious
physical distance, satisfying such a "need" would not require a
war.
Also, (as far as I know) chemical weapons made much disasters
during the WWI, but since both main fronts had sufficient amounts of them, a
somehow military balance was created during the WW II, of course
just in this particular field. We observed a similar balance to
nuclear devices, during the cold war, that fortunately passed,
without a nuclear military madness. Although, as it is quite
clear, such kind of balances are very unstable. The decision of
President Nixon to nuke Vietnam for a fast ending of war, or the
crisis of Cuba in the time of President Kennedy which took the
world, on the verge of a dark era and finishing the civilization
and many other cases which come from the violent trends inside
of us, show the only way is adopting more civilized manners.
Other vital factor is finding the ability to going beyond the
earth and colonizing some spheres in the solar system (and as
the next steps which I guess would be out of my lifetime, other
galaxies). I think no moron who wants the "universe," starts the
task from launching a war on the Earth while his/her project can
be initiated much more easily by dealing with other distant
planets! Wow! I feel it is an interesting idea to have an
appointment with George Lucas, isn't it Gary?
Eventually I should say, wormholes could confirm the differences
between us,
terrify of being hit by the bombs from every point of the
spacetime, and give huge contributions to realize the famous
predictions of Samuel Huntington, OR (a vital "or") more peace,
tolerance, and enjoy of living.
SSR: Do you believe that
other intelligent beings are already using wormhole technologies
to visit the Earth?
Mammad: No other mechanism
can do the deal. Simply consider the cosmic
distances, and the technical difficulties of traveling through
this vast,
full of wandering masses universe by a spaceship with
relativistic velocities. I completely believe the beings who
have come to the earth from other stellar systems, have used a
kind of "distance reduction" propulsion. The best 4D design in
general relativity is mine, however I don't say anything on the
higher dimensional theories.
SSR: What are the
implications for time travel and the theory of a multiverse
coming from practical worm hole technology?
Mammad: I think, at this
part of my life, the time travel, and indeed more exactly, the
causality violation is impossible. However the history of
science is full of the stories about derivation some
applications from a formula or a theory, quite far from the
author's intents. BTW, I cannot say you any specific idea about
the relation between a practical spacetime shortcut and the
theory of the multiverse, because it seems my model works in one
universe.
SSR: What range of
technologies do you envision coming from wormhole
technology, from communications to mass transit?
Mammad: I count some of
them, let the remaining be done by imagination of
yourself and the readers.
First application: It would be traversing the gross bulks of
materials. Gas, oil, gasoline, water to become sweet, minerals,
etc could be extracted from the earth and other planets and
asteroids, and be sent to any desired location via a wormhole
gate.
Second: The oxygen and artificial clouds can be sent to the
appropriate
atmospheres like that of Mars. The project of increasing the
pressure and pumping the air to the Mars could be directed from
the earth, plus under surface installations.
Third: The companies that produce airplane, ship, train, car,
and any other
transporting (note, not exactly industrial or agriculture)
vehicles, should think more about the entertainment and ease
aspects, because if one aims to just go to somewhere, the first
option would be through a civil wormhole; but if one wants to
see the environment and have more pleasure before reaching to
destination, passing through a wormhole is actually too fast.
Fourth: All the dictators would have to go to the hell, or give
up the people. In fact, this technology, converts the world to a
biggest city. When you can go to everywhere you like within the
least time, no political regime can limit you by rotten rules.
Being as free as the public conscience allows.
Fifth: It's not possible nor reasonable to remove the national
borders soon.
However, I predict forming great blocks of countries with common
values. For
example I guess some years after realizing this technology,
borders between
America and Canada would get a funny joke. That probably would
be the same
for some Arabic, Latin, African, etc countries. Although, as I
mentioned above, it's a subtle procedure and MUST NOT lead to
confirming the differences.
Sixth: There are millions of kilometers of the wire, cable, and
cord throughout the world to transform the electricity. If we
could connect the source and the consumer closer by a wormhole,
that would be a dramatic reduction in the amounts, expenses, and
dangers of such bulk of cables in the world. More applications
are able to discover only after gaining some experiences.
SSR: Do you believe that in
the future our understanding of information will evolve to the
point that we replace our massive material selves with massless
information bodies?
Mammad: I think my answer is
yes. That seemingly has been an ancient dream of the human race.
I believe some stories about Indian fakirs or Shaloin fighters
with extra-ordinary capabilities.
For we easterners, believing such stuffs is very easy. However,
all I can tell you about this subject has nothing to do with the
science and are pure faith. To the best of my knowledge, these
matters are in the stage of being under research, so judging on
them is not professional.
SSR: Do you see technology
and metaphysical ideas merging or moving apart from the
integration of technology and the human mind?
Mammad: Studying the effects
of mind on the body has been an old and permanent loving task
for me. Frankly, if the purpose of science and its fruit
technology, is a more knowledge, we must dare to deal with
metaphysical regions, simply because they are a part of our
world and indeed sometimes are much serious for a considerable
number of people. Surely dreaming about a world with the least
distance among the things, and familiar with the metaphysical
concepts and mental powers of the humans, is a promising work
that motivates many ones to realize it.
