GLEB Fedorov, senior researcher at the laboratory of artificial quantum systems of MFTI, told what superpowers could exist in reality. His opinion on the occasion show In an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda.
One of the famous superpowers that can be seen in the X x -men games is the ability to go through walls. So far, people have not learned how to do this, however, according to Fedorov, the chance that one day it will work is not zero. It's all about quantum tunneling, in which a quantum particle (electron or proton) can overcome a barrier that is insurmountable from the point of view of classical physics.
In the laboratory, we encounter tunnels, one might say, every day. And, of course, at the level of moving through walls for a long time, they have long been used in technology. “Theoretically possible, in practice will be implemented at least very, very soon,” Fedorov said.
Another superpower that many people would like to possess is a time movement, including the help of a time machine.
“The fact that going to the distant future is possible is a proven scientific fact, it comes from Einstein's special theory of relativity,” Fedorov said.
This theory says that for people moving at different speeds, time flows differently. This “Twin paradox” has been proven experimentally and is even used in GPS navigation. Specifically, the time on satellites in space and on the ground is not the same (on satellites, the clock is about 7 microseconds per day). If the delay in time is not taken into account, then the error in determining the location of a particular person will reach two kilometers in one day.
Moreover, in the case of going into the past, everything is not clear, since at least there is no possibility of slowing down time theoretically and it is possible, but must go to the “negative zone”. At least this is true for the part of the universe where traditional physics operates. But how matter behaves in objects such as black holes is still unknown to humanity.
Our knowledge is extremely scarce on this. We have just received the first pictures of black holes that could play the role of such worm-image tunnels in space-time, connecting two distant points of the universe. According to our current idea.
Superpowers such as invisibility, according to the physicist, were guaranteed in Radiodiapas. Specifically, it is used in the military field, making aircraft invisible to radar.
However, invisibility in the optical range is a much more difficult task. The fact is that in radio waves the length is quite large and it is easy to find metamaterials with a negative index of refraction. And when we deal with visible light, wavelengths are added.
However, even in this field, some researchers have achieved excellent results. For example, Stanford University scientists were able to make the skin of mice transparent, rubbing a food dye into it with the addition of light-attracting molecules. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to see how the internal organs of the rodent function and beat the blood flow in the animal's brain. It is expected that in the future, these developments will simplify disease diagnosis and replace a number of expensive studies, including computed tomography, ultrasound and X -Rays.
