Tokitoki Channel ch10: We Tried an Idle Chat About Exotic Materials (2)

Let's say we have two particles.
We'll call them A and B.

Hold on a sec.

You don't look very teacher-like sitting on the floor like that.
Could you stand up?

If these two are connected by quantum entanglement...
Uwah, she ignored me.

If these two are connected by quantum entanglement,
they can exchange information no matter how far apart they are from each other.

Let's say we leave A on Earth and put B on the moon.
When something about A changes,
B changes at the same time.

So if A-san were to smile on Earth,

it's be conveted to B-san on the moon and make her smile too?

That's a rather unique example, but pretty much.

So what does that mean exactly?

It means they can exchange information at super light speed.

The fastest thing on this planet is light, but even that is slow when put on a universal scale.
Even the moon, the Earth's closest neighbor, takes 1.3 seconds to reach.

But this puts the difference at zero.
You can share information whether you're on a moon or another planet entirely.

Okay,
in that case,

If me and Tatara-san became quantum entangled...
Entangled?
Uh, okay.

We'd be connected in real-time no matter where we were in the universe?
I don't know why you're using us as substitutes, Sakura, but basically yes.

How nice.

Sounds romantic.
That's love.
Everyone's touching comments are reaching us too.
Is that what we were talking about?

One comment reads "what's the meaning behind the spongey pattern?".

Oh right.
Well, if I had to speculate,

they're probably used as circuits in a quantum computer.

The thing with fractal patterns
is that it remains whole no matter where you cut it.

Even if it's a small fragment, the fractal remains.
In other words, it's all the same circuit.

So it remains the same shape eternally, huh?
...Basically.
Forever, huh.

Let's say I decided to go investigate the ends of the universe.

This sponge, which I would put on the rocket, would come apart along the way.
And as I continue hundreds or even thousands of light years...

All of those scattered fragments
would be connected through quantum entanglement, right?
That's right!

They'd be in perfect sync!
I could make a computer of astonomical size!

And if I take advantage of the circumference of information from the scattered fragments of this computer...!
It's be incredible... Not even a dysonsphere could compete...!

At the end, we've have a huge calculating machine
the size of the entire universe!

You're getting heated up again.
Who can blame me?

But there's gotta be a reason for this.
Huh?

There's some kind of reason for this, right?

There's nothing written on the paper.
All I know is I can feel a lot of potential from it.

Just two left... Which one is which?

p10

White mikan seeds and a reflective liquid.
One's the paradoxical crystal, the other's the wormhole catalyst.

I haven't a clue.

I guess a wormhole catalyst
can be used to maintain an open wormhole?

I've never heard of a paradoxical crystal either.
Should I just crack them open?

I guess we...
No, wait a minute.

p11

I'll be right back!
Don't open it!

You heard her.
Tatara-san really is tall, huh.

Must be hard finding the right angle for her when she stands up.
That's true.
I've actually been secretly struggling with the camera work.

Having to look up at her when she's standing up hurts my neck.
Meanwhile she's like "talking with you for too long wear my neck out".
We both have it rough.

p12

How tall is she?
She said she was 179cm tall.
I'll take her word for it.

So what's the difference between you?
About 35cm!
I'm such a shortie!

What's up, Ban-chan? You interested in that?

Oh right, there's some first-timers here too.

This is Bandersnatch. Ban-chan for short.
Erm.
She's a mass of time that I'm keeping at a pet.

p13

This just arrived here.
Hey, no. This isn't food.
I think.

Does Ban-chan even eat?
She can't, right? No mouth and all.

Ban-chan's insides are apparently completely detached from our world.

So putting something from our world inside of her would probably be a waste of time.
Well,

p14

she must be receiving energy somehow.
I finally found it...

What's that?
A Geiger counter.

That thing that detects radioactivity?
Why do you have something like that?

Just checking there's nothing coming off of the radioactive materials.
Back away a moment.
Bit late for that, isn't it!?
Looks like we're food.

So we're opening them?
There might be a burst of poisonous fumes... No, that wouldn't be inside tupperware, would it.

p15

Ooh~

Maybe it's poisonous to the touch.
Did you think I was going to eat it?

Look everyone. Fresh fractals.
Nice and fresh.
We don't need a closeup.
Yay~ Fresh~

Is there anything else this can do?
Like what?
Something that would put this stream on a more universal scale.

Washing dishes with an exotic sponge!?

Something like that?
You're something else.

p16

Let's look at the next one~

So sparkly.
It's just like a mirror.

Eh?

p17

Are they dead?

p18

Doubt they're gonna recover from this.
Maybe we should call the cops

Didn't see this coming

Eh?

All of a sudden the comments are...
Eh?
Did I do something wrong!?
Just as the comments say,

we appear to be dead.

p19

But we're alive and well.
...Put that down for a moment.

Take your hand off of it.

Huh?
What was that just now?
It felt like I just made a comment.
Was I possessed?
Ah, the comments are back?

The comments became weird when you tried to open that.
I think those were future comments.

Do you think it's the work of the paradoxical crystal?

p20

I don't know.
Maybe the negative mass or the super lightspeed
is causing the time in this area to become unstable.

Those comments came from an alternate future
where we open that tupperware and die.

THAT WAS CLOSE!
Yeah, that was very much a close call.

We'd better stop.
Let's put everything back in the box and end the stream.

p21

I can't believe someone sent us this.
That's just straight up terrorism...
I've been thinking,

it might be me who sent this.

So it was you!?
That's a confession right there.
No wonder it had your handwriting!

Why did you send all this!? Spill it!
No, it's not that.
I haven't sent it yet.

p22

I'm about to send it.

?
I don't get it.
Do you have any dispatch slips left?

Nya~

I dunno if it's because of the contents or the interaction,
but I think this will be sent to the past.

Materi-

Still looks like nurarimanore to me.

p23

Wait, wouldn't sending it to the past
make this an infinite loop?

Present Tatari Sends Past Me / Past Tatari -> Opens

Where did this package even start?
Dunno.

I bet you were fiddling with Internet 3
and clicked some weird button.
I didn't order this.

Maybe is was the future Tatari-san who ordered it?
Or a Tatari-san from a parallel world
Ah, could be!

Please be more careful next time.
Yeah, yeah.

p24

I hope nothing bad happens during transit.
Don't worry. It's pretty much confirmed that it'll safely arrive in the past.

Now then~
We've finished the unboxing, so should we...
do some idle chat?
It's fine to end if you want~

You've done plenty of idle talk already
Today was another weird stream...
Okay, guess I'll end it here.

Once again, thank you for 100 subscribers!
Please continue to support me!

p25

Stream has ended

Hm? What's that?

Quantum entanglement sponge.
I kept a little piece for myself.

Eh? Is that okay?

Don't worry.
A fractal body has an infinite surface.

It's practically free.
