Scholar’s Advanced Technological System - Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216 – The Universe Has A Spirit

Physics was a discipline that studied the laws of the movement of matter and the basic structure of matter.

The universe was like a series of infinite numbers, say [1,2,3,5,7,11,13…], and physics was to study the laws and patterns of this series of numbers.

When science was at its beginning, when people were still arguing about 1 and 2, a physicist sitting under an apple tree was lucky enough to count to 3, so he thought that ?The series of numbers is 123456… It is composed of all natural numbers?.

However, due to the advancement of science and technology, observation methods had also improved.

Einstein, the physicist of the new era quickly discovered that the fourth number was not 4 but 5, The laws summarized by Newton were only applicable to the first three numbers.

In order to make his theory seem more convincing, Einstein had been observing the seventh number, which was the number 13. Based on the observed phenomenon, this conclusion was made:

[For the series of numbers describing the universe, except for the first unique number ?1?, the following numbers should be composed of ?2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19…?. The prime numbers.]

Smart kids would know that a series of unpredictable theories such as the theory of relativity, the standard model, and quantum mechanics were in fact real theories.

They described the world beyond the fourth digit that was invisible to ordinary people and could only be observed with professional equipment.

This was what people called the ?microscopic world?.

Einstein was much luckier than the scholar sitting under the apple tree. Although he was limited by time and only saw the seventh digit, his theories were all correct.

Using the ?laws? found in the ?standard model?, people successfully observed the numbers 17 and 19 and found a series of treasures such as the Higgs particle and gravitational waves.

Everything was going so well.

Unfortunately, all good things had to come to an end.

As technology continued to advance, the Lunar Hadron Collider allowed people to observe numbers larger than 19. This broadened their horizons to a much smaller microscopic world and even other dimensions…

People were surprised to find that, for the series of numbers describing the universe, the tenth number after 19 was not 23. The eleventh place number was not 29 at all.

The two numbers 23 and 29 did not appear in this series of numbers at all. Instead, they were replaced by a series of numbers that had no rules at all and did not make any sense.

They weren?t numbers at all; they were letters and symbols.

Was it possible to find a pattern in all sequences?

No.

For example, a string of irrational numbers.

If one wanted to describe its pattern, they would have to use the same amount of information as the sequence itself…

Although the ?spirit of the universe? theory by Professor Miro sounded like nonsense. What he described was not an omnipotent God.

What he really wanted to describe was that there was such a consciousness in this universe who arranged everything in the universe according to its own subjective consciousness.

It was like a child holding a branch in his hand, humming a song that only he could understand while writing a string of meaningless numbers on the beach.

While the ants on the ground used their logic and thought about what the numbers appearing on the ground meant and why they appeared there.

Hence, the name, spirit of the universe…

…

For the physics community, this was definitely the darkest day.

Collision experiments in energy regions above 5 TeV were like black holes, confiscating the efforts of physicists over the past century. Both the string theory and the Big Bang theory seemed to be swallowed by this black hole.

Witten looked at the images on the computer and thought for a long time. He then suddenly sighed and said, ?It feels like we have spent half a century studying the laws of the universe. Then, in the end, it only proves that the things we are researching have no laws at all.?

Lu Zhou stared at the seemingly weird data and answered casually, ?It feels unacceptable??

Witten spoke in a half-joking manner.

?It is unacceptable, I almost want to retire.?

Lu Zhou: ?Don?t do that. This problem will not defeat us, but if you retire, it will definitely be a loss for all of humanity.?

?Why would that be? There are many outstanding young physicists. In my opinion, their future achievements will not be inferior to mine.?

Professor Witten smiled. His voice was suddenly filled with emotion as he said, ?Also, I?m not getting younger. I was thinking about this issue about three or four years ago. If it weren?t for you inviting me to the ILHCRC, perhaps I would be basking under the sun in Hawaii.?

?Really? My apologies then.?

?Haha, don?t need to apologize. In fact, I should thank you. If it weren?t for your invitation, I would have missed a lot of interesting things.?

Professor Witten noticed the calculations Lu Zhou had written on the draft paper. He suddenly raised his eyebrows with interest.

?Are you still obsessed with that extra-dimensional theory??

?Sort of.?

?With all due respect, that is no different from animism.?

?There are still a lot of differences.? Lu Zhou looked at the paper for a while while holding a pen in his hand. He said, ?At the very least, I can prove its existence in a mathematical sense.?

Professor Witten had a surprised look on his eyes, as if he was thinking, ?How is this possible??

Lu Zhou continued to speak, ?Normally, it is impossible for us, who are in the box, to see the world outside the box. But there is one exception. Remember Schr?dinger?s cat??

?Schrodinger?s cat? Wait, you mean??

Professor Witten?s pupils suddenly widened a bit. He was filled with confusion. Suddenly, he became excited.

?That?s right, I?m sure you already know what I mean.? Lu Zhou smiled, twisted the pen in his hand, and continued, ?You can imagine us as the cat in the box, for the world outside the box. Everything about us is in a superposition of chaos. But now, someone has opened the box and observed it for us.

?This wasn?t planned.

?Because of observations from outside the universe, the superposition we are in has collapsed, so it has become the reality we see now.?

Witten frowned as Lu Zhou spoke.

?We don?t know whether the universe has a spirit, and no one has the right to define its existence.

?But one thing I can almost confirm is that something outside the box is waving to us.?

Witten: ?But it… Or they… Why are they doing this??

?I don?t know, maybe only they know the answer.? Lu Zhou shook his head and continued, ?Maybe it is asking us for help to declare its existence.

?However, whatever it is they are asking for, it should not be a disaster but a great opportunity.

?An opportunity to learn more about the Void.?

Suddenly, there were sounds of rapid footsteps outside the office.

Lu Zhou and Witten stopped talking and looked in the direction of the door.

There was a knock on the door, and before Lu Zhou could even reply, the door opened.

?Sorry! Something very, very serious happened!?

Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan and paused for a second.

?What happened??

?It?s Professor Miro!?

Luo Wenxuan took a deep breath and controlled his breathing.

He looked at the two people in front of him and said in a trembling tone, ?He passed away…?
