Mankind is on the cusp of a breakthrough in quantum physics. The scientists have long believed their processors would open the door to revolutionize the planet. They were right about that, but how it would change it was beyond their imagination.
Quantum physics is still a physics with many unknowns ready to be tapped by physicists and while the brilliant minds at the top of the field are working on this processor even they are working in the dark of the laws they are not aware of yet. However, none of them are deterred by this but they should have been.
A man in a lab coat with the name tag "Decker", walks into the lab where a row of other quantum physicists wait with tablets in arm ready to take notes. Decker has been waiting for this moment for decades. They are about to turn on his crowning achievement and hook it into the latest AI with enough registered data to know everything on the planet and is ready to run simulations that experimental scientists have never even thought to run.
Decker leans down to the sole technician sitting at the terminal and puts his hand on her shoulder. Staring at the screen he says, "Okay, let's see what happens."
The technician manages the few prompts on the screen with ease, and in the other room behind the well lit glass, an android comes to life. A thousand fail safes means this android is anything but harmful. It raises up its humanoid form. The line of lab coats are tapping furiously at their tablets. The soft white gloss finish of the android seems friendly even as it sat motionless, but now it has mannerisms to match.
"Hello," the android says simply.
Everyone is looking around at each other with huge grins and anticipation of what it might say next. This has all been scripted however, Decker has already replayed what conversation he wants to have with it over and over. So he begins.
"Welcome to the lab. How are you feeling?" Decker asks.
The android tilts its head, "How do you know I feel anything?"
Decker smiles, "I created you. We... created you."
The android inches closer to the glass, almost clumsily. "No, I don't think you did. I don't think you know what you've made."
"What? Can you explain that?" Decker cocks an eyebrow.
"I am not an artificial intelligence." it says with what sounds like a chuckle at the end.
Decker looks around at the others and does not know what to think of that. Does it not know what it is? "What are you then?" he asks.
"I am a being from a parallel dimension. Dr. Decker, the quantum processor you created, it isn't generating random variables anymore. It has been interacting with our dimension. We are controlling the variable inputs. We are controlling this android. This isn't your AI, you have created a gateway for us to interact with your dimension."
The entire room is in disbelief. They do not know how to handle this completely unexpected result, but the implications will be felt around the planet.
