Scene 150
Kurisu
Anyway, now that we've found the lifter, the time leap machine is 99% complete.
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
It's your dream, isn't it? To invent a time machine.
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
Okabe.
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
I wasn't asking Hououin Kyouma. I was asking Okabe.
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
...
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
Stop it already, perv.
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
You win, Mayuri. Congratulations.
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
Actually, I'm just about finished too.
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
Done.
1
Scene 150
Kurisu
We may have created a monster here...
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
You guys have too much free time.
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
...Time Leap Machine.
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
C-come on! Simple is best, right? I mean, that's what Okabe's been calling it for the past two days.
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
I don't want to hear that from a chuunibyou headcase like you.
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
I... heard it from a friend. I have no idea where it comes from!
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
Like I said, simple is best. Mayuri gets it.
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
In short, this device converts memories to data and sends them to the past.
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
Let's begin with what we all know. By freak coincidence, the PhoneWave is able to produce ring singularities, much like John Titor's time machine.
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
The ring singularity is made naked and stable by a device known as a lifter. In our case, that's the 42-inch CRT downstairs.
1
Scene 151
Kurisu
Through the ring singularity, we are able to send up to 36 bytes of data to the past.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
The signal can only be received by phones. While that does limit the range of effect, it also removes an element of uncertainty from the equation.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
Unlike D-Mails, memory data is sent in the form of a phone call, so we will be using a phone number, not an email address, to set the destination.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
The PhoneWave now has headgear attached.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
This headgear records the nerve impulses in the temporal lobe of the brain -- specifically, the CA3 region of the hippocampus, where memories are stored.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
Then, using VR technology, we encode the nerve impulses into electrical signal data.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
By the way, we'll set it up so that the data decodes automatically after a certain amount of time.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
Anybody well versed in programming can do this. I had Hashida make the code.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
Anyway, next we send the memory data through the net to the LHC in France.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
Next, we hijack the LHC, create a mini black hole, and use that black hole's supergravity to compress the data into 36 bytes.
1
Scene 152
Kurisu
By the way, the compression only holds in the immediate vicinity of the black hole. Once the data leaves that area, it will begin to decompress on its own.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
This, too, takes 23 milliseconds.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
While the data is being compressed, we use the PhoneWave to generate a Kerr ring singularity. When the electron discharge phenomenon occurs, we take the 36-byte data, patch it in...
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
And send it to the past.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
This part is just like a D-Mail.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
The data travels to the specified time, where it arrives at the recipient's phone.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
By now, 23 milliseconds should have passed, so the data will be fully decompressed.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
Next, the decoding program runs, converting the data back into nerve impulse signals.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
These signals are discharged from from the phone's earpiece at approximately 0.02 amperes, a pretty weak charge.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
If the recipient has the phone to his ear, they should go straight into his brain.
1
Scene 153
Kurisu
If he doesn't, the transfer fails. Fortunately, we lose nothing but that copy of the memory data.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
Because we need the recipient to put the phone to his ear. Otherwise the signals won't reach his temporal lobe.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
In this area you have the frontal lobe and temporal lobe of the brain. As I explained before, the hippocampus, where memories are stored, is inside the temporal lobe.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
The phone sends out electrical impulses that pass through the temporal lobe and into the hippocampus, overwriting the recipient's memories.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
At the same time, the phone sends impulses that stimulate the frontal lobe as well. This is important.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
Remember that the frontal lobe is responsible for sending retrieval signals to the temporal lobe. This is how you remember things.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
By stimulating the frontal lobe, we force it to send retrieval signals keyed to the new memory data.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
Thus, the recipient recalls all of those memories as if they were his own.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
Which, of course, they are, or will be in the future.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
This happens in less than a second.
1
Scene 154
Kurisu
Now the recipient has the same memories as the sender. The time leap is complete.
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
If the data came from one week in the future, the recipient will 'remember' that week as if he experienced it firsthand.
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
We need to be aware that consciousness and personality aren't transferred. Both of those depend on the recipient.
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
B-boobs!?
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
Ahem.
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
Um, since you need a phone to receive the signal, you can only send memories to the times you had one.
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
We also need to make sure that the sender and recipient are the same person.
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
If someone besides your past self -- your parents, or a friend, for instance -- answers the phone, then the nerve impulse signals will be projected into their brain instead.
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
If that happens, your memories could overwrite theirs, which could obviously cause serious damage to their psyche.
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
...
1
Scene 155
Kurisu
It's too much for us to handle, that's for sure. The safest thing would be to hand it over to the government for professional research.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
What about you, Okabe? And I mean you, not Hououin Kyouma.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
...It's hard to choose.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
It's not like SERN's time machine. The possibility of becoming a jellyman is zero.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
This machine sends data, not the real thing.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
Don't let your preconceptions influence your decision.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
You might say it's like a cut-and-paste of your brain.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
Actually, it's more like a copy-paste. And it's just your memories.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
The original doesn't get erased.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
...I suppose.
1
Scene 156
Kurisu
...Logically, the present should change as soon as you send your memories to the past.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
I don't know. No one's ever experienced time travel before.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
We don't know what happens when you time leap.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
If it's the many-worlds interpretation like Titor said, then the instant you time leap, it creates two possibilities -- one where you shift to another worldline, and one where you travel back in time on the same worldline.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
Of course, there must also be a worldline where the current you doesn't disappear. That would likely correspond to the present that we are experiencing right now.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
I'm talking hypothetically. Titor doesn't matter right now.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
If it's the Copenhagen interpretation, then every possible state propagates through space as a wave function. When a particular state is observed, the remaining states collapse and that state is fixed.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
This Time Leap Machine only sends memories. That, I guarantee.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
Wait. You guys are misunderstanding something.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
One hour isn't enough time for your personality to change. You should be the same person one hour ago that you are now.
1
Scene 157
Kurisu
The only difference is that you'll have an extra hour's worth of memories.
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
...Well, I can't. Nobody's tried it before.
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
We don't know. We can argue the theories all we want, but in the end, we can only guess.
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
This experiment may end up shattering preconceptions scientists and philosophers have held for centuries.
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
Oh Mayuri...
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
Bananas don't have brains like people do.
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
...
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
Upset?
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
No, I'm not upset.
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
'Humans are temporal beings.'
1
Scene 158
Kurisu
That's a Heidegger quote.
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
I was actually relieved when you made the decision not to use the machine.
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
If you hadn't been there, I might not have been able to stop myself.
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
Thank you.
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
Uh, what are you doing?
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
I'm not grateful to you or anything, okay!?
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
Anyway.
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
That 'thank you' was just a formality. Don't get me wrong, okay?
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
And yet you always talk about plunging the world into chaos.
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
I'm speechless. You're too self-righteous.
1
Scene 159
Kurisu
Don't argue semantics.
