We have been able...
How can I explain?
To have those images
take shape in space
through what you would call
a large projector
programmed with a highly
complex computer
to include the vital information
for that image to be alive.
Let's see... You're telling me
that you are a projection.
In a way.
I... my spaceship... We are as images
projected in space.
I say ''images'' for your benefit,
because, in reality, I could
do without your eyes.
I'd still exist.
I breathe. You can touch me,
I can touch you.
We are perfect human replicas.
Except for one detail.
We cannot feel.
''I cannot feel. ''
That was one of the most
moving confessions.
I'd ever heard from a patient.
I hadn't been feeling much
for my profession.
I hadn't been so interested in a patient
in a long time.
And I hadn't been happy
in a long time.
Soon they would take his fingerprints.
I guessed that Rantes had been
a mathematician... maybe a physicist.
He had mentioned a physics laboratory.
This is a hologram.
The laser bounces off the object leaving
its impression on the plate.
Then, to reconstruct the image
we use another laser.
- Is this an experiment?
- It's a laboratory experience.
The object is registered indirectly
on the photographic plate. Understand?
The hologram represents
the object in code.
Could people be photographed
and projected in space?
For example, projecting a person here
so that person would seem reel?
It could be done with pulsating lasers,
but it would just be the image
of its outward appearance
lacking all the other attributes
of a real person.
Why assume that a person who talks
about physics must be a physicist?
He could just know about certain
phenomena and make up a story.
Who'd use such information for
non-scientific purposes? What is he?
A writer.
A writer.
A writer or just a reader.
Reader?
Why did I think that?
Reader of what?
Fiction was not one of my interests, but
in Rantes' description of holograms
had a literary feel to it.
Someplace I had read something similar.
That business of projecting human
beings... In some book...
and I had it.
''I began to find unknown waves
and vibrations
and devised instruments to capture
and transmit them. ''
''Here's the machine's first component. ''
''The second records,
the third projects. ''
''It doesn't require screen or papers. ''
''If you open all the receivers,
Madeleine appears, complete,
reproduced, identifiable. ''
''Remember that we refer to images
extracted from mirrors... with sounds...
resistance to touch, taste, the smells,
the temperature,
perfectly synchronized. ''
''Morel's Invention. ''
