In a curved space

An iambic arc,

I write multitudes of poems,

With a piety hand.

And I see what happens next.

(Through the door to the Future)

Yuri Komker will be honored,

As he is revered now.

(A verse by an unknown author.)

I recently made a short trip through Temporal Waves to the near future – the year 2125.

I wanted to see WHAT would happen in the place of my current apartment.

The building, a nineteen-storey factory-built block complex, was either demolished or reconstructed into a 50-storey building. There are only six apartments per floor instead of 19.

But the furniture impressed me the most. The floor is very smooth, directly mirrored, but absolutely NOT SLIPPERY.

All furniture, or rather, most of it (all the towering attributes of apartment furniture, such as bookshelves and cabinets) have the shape of slightly truncated pyramids, that is, their base is always slightly wider than the upper flat part.

AND ALL THE furniture IS ABSOLUTELY MOVABLE. Partly on wheels, and partly on ball rollers, easily movable.

I asked the residents what the reason was.

Explained:

Since the days of the caveman troglodytes, people have become accustomed to MOTIONLESS furniture standing in one place not for years, but for decades! Hygiene is below zero, because even under them, if there is at least some kind of clearance, it is difficult to clean, even with all kinds of vacuum cleaners, and in places where the legs come into contact with the floor, there is always an abundance of a slot accumulator of any infection and harmful chemically dust spaces in general, a forbidden zone for any cleanliness. Any infection and possible harmful chemicals accumulate there, which slowly and surely kill the inhabitants, under the guise of all sorts of illnesses, but caused PRECISELY by the IMMOBILITY of heavy furniture.

There are many furniture companies today, — they explained to me, – that produce a wide variety of FULLY MOBILE furniture that even a child can move. There are a number of companies, such as a company whose name is borrowed from Captain Nemo: “Mobilis in Mobile”, specializing in self-moving furniture. That is, either ball rollers with a bearing ring on the upper section of the ball, or wheels of adequate diameter, equipped with small but powerful servomotors that move furniture to the right place. Of course, without touching or crushing any small things or other objects in its path, since each attribute is equipped with visual, ultrasonic and tactile sensors and controlled by appropriate simple microcomputer programs. There are, of course, the most important BALANCE sensors that always change the position of the contents of the furniture attribute so that the center of gravity is low and at the center of stability.

The furniture is also equipped with self-cleaning means to ensure external and internal cleanliness. A small dust-collecting container, when filled to 70%, detaches itself from the “mother” furniture body and travels to the garbage chute for emptying, of course, in it, inside, there are special sterilizing devices for all the contents, so as not to become a source of any harmful effects on the health of the inhabitants.

 No insectes and nor pathogenic bacteria and viruses!

The air entering and EXITING the air conditioning system is also sterilized, meaning the atmosphere of the residential area is NOT CONTAMINATED with all sorts of subtle harmful emissions, including chemicals.

So, the furniture not only helps to keep the apartment clean, but also controls clearness itself!

Another advantage of mobile furniture is that, at the request of the inhabitants, it easily changes the position in the apartment and this diversifies the interior and is extremely convenient: the DYNAMIC ARRANGEMENT OF FURNITURE IN THE APARTMENT!

For example, guests gather, the furniture ITSELF, “Understanding the situation,” moves to the periphery of the apartment, while the table and chairs themselves are located in the center. And after the meal, it also moves itself to make room for dancing or group gymnastic exercises, etc.

Unfortunately, the time to receive Temporal Waves from the future or the past is limited.

For reasons of maintaining mental health, because, as long-standing research has shown, you can not overload the brain with too large blocks of new information, no more than one or two terabytes in half an hour. Otherwise, there may be failures of sanity and the ability to analyze new information and remember it adequately.

That’s all I could pick up during the described session of receiving Temporal Waves.

Alas, man is weak!

And so am I!

Faciant meliora potentes.
