Sebastian Jumper

Walking down the street, he could see the news on his phone about the attack on Kurisu Makise at the university. Admittedly, he forgot the name of the main character and the plot of this jump. Sebastian thought about his name for a long time until he remembered the jump document. No matter how excellent his memory was, it had already been two jumps and more than seventy years of memory. He went into the darknet and ordered a theft, the dumbest theft of this century. Stealing a microwave. The next day he was delivered to the microwave, as many thieves in Tokyo could fulfill this order. No one knew the potential of this household appliance yet. The device could send things back in time. With this microwave, he could conquer time itself. Although he bought a time travel machine, it was too advanced. I didn't want to lose her trying to figure out how time travel works. He was a scientist, not a barbarian. He came to Japan just for a physics lecture at Tokyo University. He taught physics at Oxford University and his specialty was quantum physics. He loved science. In this world, he graduated from university at the age of 17, which was 9 years ago. The University of Tokyo was an educational institution prestigious throughout Japan. Many anime fans from other countries have heard about this university. He also heard about this university from the anime. He was not interested in the Japanese education system before. Who knows, if he hadn't watched anime, he wouldn't have known about this world. Perhaps I would never have started a chain of jumps if I hadn't known about anime. Ask a student on the road, he went to the lecture hall, which he was informed about. There were several employees of this university inside and students were present. "Hello, are you Smith-san?" The teachers bowed to him. "Yes, I am Smith Sebastian," he bowed to them. "I am Endo Hiroshi, my colleagues Tsuchikawa Akito and Nakamura Hitoshi. We also teach physics at the university. I am the dean of the Department of Physics at the University of Tokyo." "Nice to meet you. I am very happy to come to Japan for this lecture on quantum physics." After removing the formalities, he stood next to the projector, where he connected his laptop with a presentation for this lecture. At the beginning of the lecture, the students stood up and bowed. "Today we will talk about quantum physics. I think, studying at the university, you already know what quantum physics is. Quantum physics describes a world that is below the level known to all molecular and atomic. You all know that atoms are made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons. These are not the only subatomic particles. We all know this, and that is why we are attending this lecture. The topic of this lecture is time and its symmetry. Just recently, everyone believed that time has symmetry, like everything in this universe. By the standards of science, quite recently, Chinese scientists have found out that time is not symmetrical." "Looking back into history, you can see attempts to count time with markers, stone clocks, and mechanical or electronic clocks. Even our way of measuring months relies on the moon, and the year on the rotation of the planet around the sun. Does time exist?" Sebastian led the lecture and periodically switched slides to show the students what he was talking about. Although the visualization did not coincide with what could be happening, it made it easier to understand the quantum world. Equations didn't help much with understanding quantum physics unless you were a mathematician with a lot of experience. Just like him. After the lecture, he had a snack with colleagues, exchanged business cards, and went back to his hotel room. He gave a few more lectures this week at the university, after which he boarded a plane and went back. At home, he watched the movie Telekinetic from Seattle. It appeared on his laptop after the end of the jump. The plot was about an American named Sebastian Prygunoff. It was a story about a teacher who became a teenager and killed three schoolchildren with superpowers if you look from his point of view. However, the plot of the film showed that he killed them for fun, for no particular reason. He didn't tell anyone that they got telekinesis and they didn't reveal their superpower. The only video sequence that they lost consciousness together after they saw the crystal. The movie continued. His telekinesis training was shown when he lifted the earth and containers for cargo transportation. Traveling and promiscuous relationships with women. It was awkward because he stuttered. He couldn't stand it and turned off the movie. "Damn it, the plot came out bad. This film has no commercial value, and is even more artistic!" Spitting on the movie, he put the laptop away without looking at it. He had not watched movies for many years, as he saw the plot line. He thought a little about the movie from his first jump. If there was a movie, he wouldn't watch it. His last name meant North, and his ex-wife's new husband meant East. It was an allusion to Eastern Europe and the North of his country of residence. They didn't have snow for two whole months, and the rest of the time it was snowing. Their country was harsh and the climate left much to be desired. Watching a movie about a main character like him... would be too boring. What would the film be about? He wasn't even imprisoned for all his actions. The schoolgirls were eighteen and everything was consensual. He updated the laptop in the world of the first jump, so the laptop did not roll back to the standards of the time of this world. Compared to current computers, it was like a supercomputer. He had a lot of programs that didn't exist yet. If this was the past world, he could quit his job and enjoy the life of a rich man in the second generation as in the movie. However, he managed to get bored with a life full of spending money, he wanted to devote himself to science. In life, absolutely everything, money, women, and even superpowers, was coming. He was not a primarch who could do the same thing for tens of thousands of years. With the help of equipment at the university, he conducted his research. In this world, Oxford University, like all major universities, had powerful scientific equipment. In addition to showing students how to work on it, it was also used by university staff to conduct their research. In addition to the equipment on the university grounds, teachers also had access to state-owned laboratories. It was necessary to submit an application for a research topic in advance, but it was impossible to get equipment of this level just like that, only if he did not own his own company. It sounded like too much work. Perhaps he liked teaching students since the teenage high school students were too noisy. Some of them even found his studies interesting. "How can time be measured using nuclear radiation?" a student asked him. "A very interesting question! There is a process called radiometric dating. All isotopes of radioactive substances decay at a known rate. One of the well-known methods is radiocarbon dating! Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon formed in the atmosphere and absorbed by living organisms. When an organism dies, carbon-14 begins to decay at a known rate, and by measuring the amount of carbon-14 remaining in a sample, scientists can calculate how much time has passed since the organism died." "And the age of the earth?" "Uranium-238 decays into uranium-206 at a known rate, and by measuring the ratio of uranium-238 and lead-206 in a rock sample, scientists can determine its age" He hated teaching teenagers, without an iron fist, discipline fell. There were fewer problems with the students, it was enough for them that he attended kickboxing classes and was popular. Some students attended these classes with him and saw how strong he was. He was a genius and quickly mastered this kind of martial art, although he was sometimes awkward in sparring. He was helped by his dexterity and ingenuity. Fortunately, only university equipment was enough to understand the principle of operation of the microwave oven. He disassembled the microwave and couldn't believe his eyes. By chance, in no other way, microwaves caused the effect of sending a state from the present to the past. It wasn't scientific! It required a lot of energy! Time didn't exist at all and it was a human concept! But it was and it worked. And if it worked, then time existed too. There was a reason why he doubted the existence of time before that. What should be considered time? When did people count the Moon's revolution around the Earth? The Earth around the Sun? The Earth around its orbit? That's what people took for time. Matter interacted with each other and changed, even the most accurate atomic clocks showed different times. At different speeds, the clock showed different times. There was no accurate way to set time because time was invented by people to create a reference point and was a relative quantity. From that moment on, he discovered the existence of time not as a function imagined by people, but as a fourth dimension, if time was a dimension at all anywhere other than formulas. Of course, he did not publish his research. He would be crazy if he revealed what this technology was. He walked around carrying his knowledge with him and researching time travel equipment. The students of this university were mostly descendants of rich people and few of them were interested in his studies. They were distinguished from teenage schoolchildren by silence. They didn't make any noise and didn't break the equipment, even though some students flirted with him. Admittedly, he deliberately complicated the lives of some men, because he did not want to let them into his classes. He was afraid for his rear front. What if he likes it? He avoided it so as not to change. He wanted to be himself, to be that person before the beginning of the chain of jumps, even though he was changing, like all people. The study of science bore fruit. Experiments after experiments gave their results and he could repeat the Japanese microwave oven. His equipment was more complicated, but he understood the principle behind it. Perhaps he was too vain. Sebastian nevertheless published a theory of information transfer to the past. The theory itself could spend decades without confirmation. Only after decades, they can confirm it. One person in the whole world besides him could confirm it, but he was in Japan. The merit of the world community belonged to him. This year they wanted to give him the Nobel Prize. He didn't get it. The award itself was prestigious, but he got his piece of fame. By doing time research, he was able to perfect the microwave to send objects and memory into the past. Is memory, if not the structure of neurons in the brain? He transmitted the state of the neurons to the past. It was easier than transferring a bitten apple to the past. It was funny to watch how a whole apple, after being placed in the microwave, became bitten off. For a year he was engaged in his research of crystals, trying to find the principle by which he had superpowers. Crystal was a tourmaline, he found out right away. The uniqueness lay in the bacteria that lived on the crystal. A year later, he finally realized that his research was a dummy and repented for it. The most shameful thing was that he was transferring memory to the past and noticed it after three years of studying the crystal. With renewed vigor, he undertook to study biology and learned molecular biology within two years. He discovered the force, the gigantic energy field of the universe, spiral energy, or whatever people call it. It was the energy of direction and momentum. Or it wasn't energy. It wasn't even a field. He found nothing! There was no quantum corresponding to this energy. Only bacteria, similar to fantastic midi-chlorins, could interact with telekinesis. Was it even right to call it energy? It was a projection of the interaction of many dimensions in three dimensions. These were manipulations with the change for the sake of... Moving the spoon. How these bacteria existed in more than three dimensions, he did not understand at all. There were these bacteria in his body and they were inactive now. They had given him telekinesis and now they didn't react to anything at all. After several, not the most-ethical experiments, he confirmed this fact. It was the bacteria that gave telekinesis. Even if they were killed, the subjects showed telekinesis without these bacteria. He did not forget to train his telekinesis. He did not develop it towards a greater power, because he could lift an airplane with it, but explored more subtle applications. He could accelerate a drop of water to the speed of a bullet. Leave holes in trees with an overclocked pencil. It did not have strength, so it broke after impact. Telekinesis became strange, as it could even affect bacteria. Once ill, he simply killed the disease by wishing for it. Were his abilities intelligent? Of course not. But his subconscious could use telekinesis on a cellular scale. Consciously, he could not manipulate the cells. He learned how to control air flows and create miniature vortices. They were of little use, the air was weak for any attacks. My strongest ability was in creating a vacuum. Attempts to create lightning and fire did not lead to success, so he postponed it. He had the next world planned for the development of telekinesis. His theory of information transmission was not the only one of its kind. There were developments in the transfer of information to parallel worlds. The data was classified, but the seeker could find it. He contacted people from a government lab at a closed facility. "Mr. Sanders, I have an offer that you cannot refuse! I want to work in your laboratory, which explores parallel worlds." In front of him was a white-collar man in his thirties. His graying black hair gave him the presence of a child or increased stress. His green eyes looked at him with fatigue. Facial wrinkles gave him a lover of smiling. He did not stand out in any way from the mass of people. "Why do you want to work in our laboratory?" "I'm a researcher." "Why should we hire you?" "Because I'm a genius!" "You are accepted!" His perk was pretty good. Even with the dumbest reason, he could get any job he wanted. These were studies of parallel worlds and he had been interested in them for about eighty years. He traveled between worlds and did not understand the principle behind it. They spent the next five years trying to organize the transfer of information to a parallel world and get it back. There was a time when he worshipped Two Slits at the laboratory equipment, he prayed to them for revelation. He was ashamed of it because he used to be a follower of the Only True God and studied the doctrines of three modern religions worshipping him in the 21st century. During the first three years of work, success was achieved. They managed to exchange information in a parallel world with another laboratory. It was the same laboratory. In that parallel world, Sebastian Smith did not work in a laboratory. He was engaged in teaching at Oxford University. They got the data, or rather Sebastian got it. He sent information from the future. After working for five years in this laboratory, he had nothing to gain from it. After going to the personnel department, he approached Timothy Sanders. He was already forty years old, he did not look as young as when he got a job in this laboratory. He had a completely white head. "Mr. Sanders. I wanted to quit this lab." "Smith, you are a promising scientist! Come to your senses. Your exploration of parallel worlds may be about to make progress! For God's sake, you can already exchange information with the laboratory in a parallel world!" "And we have achieved nothing more. Until scientists learn how to create portals and move to other worlds, there's not much I can do." From that moment on, he resigned from the laboratory. He lied to everyone since he could already move to parallel worlds. He did not dare to meet himself in a parallel world. After his dismissal, he ordered hackers to steal the data of the project that Kurisu Makise was engaged in. On his own purchased equipment, after some correction, he conducted research on human psychology, neural networks, and artificial intelligence. In the 8th year of the jump, he explored virtual reality. Sebastian was able to figure out how to make a virtual world and postponed the project until traveling to the world of SAO or the First Player to Get Ready. The prototype of the system was ready, but it took up too much space. AI was extremely sophisticated and was not suitable for the role of stupid NPCs, so they heavily loaded the equipment. Modern computers were too weak for his technology. He marked the last year with the US presidential election. As a British citizen, isn't it wise to migrate to America? His part-time Warrior perk was reason enough. Although he was a citizen of another country, this was not a reason for refusal. "US citizens! I would like to tell you. This world is full of discrimination! Inequality has permeated this society. I couldn't look at it. Staying in the UK, it became impossible to look at what was happening in the world! Only you can save this world! I urge you to vote! Vote for the whole world to be tolerant of all races and public opinions! It doesn't matter what religion you preach or what your skin color is. We are all people! According to anthropologists, more than 10 thousand years before our era, most people had black skin color. Even 7 thousand years before our era, more than half of Europeans were black." He broke the table at which he was conducting a speech with a blow of his fist. His face was red with rage. Of course, it was a sham. He was popular. Choosing popular slogans, having a perk of charisma and intimidation, he paved the way with money. He was one of the most popular presidential candidates of 2019. The funniest thing? They chose him! "Sebastian Smith wins with 68%! We have a new president! He is from the UK, but despite this, he was able to become president of the USA! Let's congratulate the fighter for justice and equality, our new president!" He spent the last year in the bureaucracy. He didn't understand politics at all, but he was supported by the faction of the right. He loved democracy. "This is a blatant inequality in our society! Why are only these girls fighting for their rights? God knows, he created people and settled them on this planet! He made people equal, there is no one without another! Legally, women are equal in rights with men. Why should we give these women more rights? Men pay alimony, in case of divorce, the court is on the side of women. I will keep silent about Australia, where after sex a woman can sue a man for rape. I can't fix the situation there. But I can fight for equality in our society!" With the help of statements and speeches, he began to pass laws restricting the speeches of feminists. There were more than one gender, and men did not defend their rights, as they were busy making money. A few performances later, he organized direct parades. It was unfair to hold only an LGBT parade. Heterosexuals were also people, and he wanted to introduce people to the culture of freedom of speech. The funny thing is that he was a really popular president. I had more information about his 10th year... but according to the eighth rule, you can't write about politics. So let's focus on the simple fact that it was. After the second jump. Sebastian appeared on the street in the body from the second jump. He was almost forty years old in this body. He did not see the house that had stood there before, there was a shopping center in its place. Looking around, he did not recognize the situation. There were a lot of cars and pedestrians around. Everywhere there was an incomprehensible advertisement for him. Electric cars appeared on the streets, which had not been in his city before. Fashion has subtly changed. There were more clothes with a print of a character or an abstraction. People did not smoke while walking down the street, although they had not been stopped by the law before. There were cameras in every corner and at every private building. Looking around, he went into the mall and went to the toilet. In it, he pulled out his laptop and a bag for him from the warehouse. After washing his hands and leaving the toilet, he went outside. Looking around, he quickly found a cafe and went inside. After ordering food and coffee for himself, he opened his laptop and started searching. In this world, everything was for sale and privacy was intended for ordinary people. Sebastian did not have this misconception, as he had programming experience and was president. Unfortunately, his experience didn't help much in 2044. After downloading a new version of the browser for the darknet, he went to the list of darknet sites. Having found the right one, he went to the site. Contacting the right person selling information about people from his country, he gave the details of his ex-wife and son, her husband, and his daughter. After eating and watching the new situation in this world, he received a message. His ex-wife... was dead. Her husband killed her. He killed her for money. He was to blame for this and left his son an orphan. Fortunately, Maria adopted him and raised him with the money he left. They were not enough for a long time, only a few years, but Maria did not leave Maxim. He regretted why he hadn't checked Alexander's credit history on his last visit. If he knew her… How could he leave his son with a stranger? It was his mistake. Alexander was a gambler and should. He couldn't get a mortgage, so he found a new wife with a house. Alexander's ex-wife left him because he was making loans for her. Left alone with his daughter, he stopped playing at the casino. But apparently, his greed prevailed over reason. Maria handed him over to the police. He was glad that he didn't take Maria with him. If he had taken her, wouldn't she have turned in his illegal affairs? He did a lot of illegal things, such a girl was not needed next to him in his long life. He did not want to have such a daughter, if he had not been angry with Alexander, he would have sympathized with him. Maria sold the house when money became scarce and moved to the outskirts of the city. She still hasn't moved out of it. Now she worked as a nurse at a local clinic. Maxim still lived with her and they got married. Taking a taxi, he went to visit them. Today was a day off and they were probably at home. When he drove up to their house, he saw an ordinary one-story house from the edge of the city. This city has grown, but not too much. There were still many such single-story houses. He walked over and pressed the bell. Soon the door opened and he saw a man in a T-shirt and shorts with brown hair and brown eyes. His expression was frowning and it seemed like he was going to be rude to him. "Who are you and what do you want?" "I'm your uncle, Prygunoff Sebastian." "I don't know any uncle." He closed the door in front of him. "Maxim! I was visiting you then, ten years ago!" The door opened. He met Maxim's frowning gaze. "So it's your fault for this! It's all because of your money!" Maxim attacked him, trying to hit him with his fist. Sebastian kicked him in the stomach, stopping his son's attack on him. He fell and looked at him lying down. "I didn't know that Alexander would kill Kristina because I left money for you! You are my last relative in this world!" Maxim looked at him in anger, still lying down. "It would be better if you burned with your money! Do you know what Maria and I have been through over the years? Get out of our house!"
