Chapter 6: The Law of Cause and Effect

"Shared buffers and parallel zones?" Shen Bing had obviously never heard of a similar concept. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, according to your quantum mechanics, every quantum random state has the potential to cause the universe to split, and don't you think it's more wasteful to split a universe for a quantum than to copy a universe for an obsession? Just because a quantum passes through a slit or a b, it splits into two independent and incoherent universes. Ye Yu asked.

"Well, this is also the most unacceptable part of the parallel universe theory." Shen Bing had to admit.

"So in fact, according to the research of the Dawn Empire. Parallel universes are not completely independent and unrelated, and there will still be shared buffers and unrelated parallel regions between two parallel universes. ”

Ye Yu continued: "Also taking the single-electron double-slit interference experiment as an example, an electron will split into two parallel universes through a slit or a b slit. The electrons in universe A pass through a slit, and the electrons in universe B pass through a slit in B. However, the difference between these two parallel universes is that the electron passes through a slit or a b, and the other parts are exactly the same. ”

"So between two parallel universes, exactly the same part, they don't actually split, they share the same buffer. A buffer is the exact same part between two parallel universes. A parallel zone is a different part of two parallel universes. ”

"It's the same if you replace electrons with people, except that people are more complex than electrons, and the decisions made by each person can have far-reaching effects because of the butterfly effect. The more capable a person is, the wider the scope of influence, and when he makes different choices to cause the parallel universe to split, the more cause and effect the parallel zone needs to contain. ”

Hearing Ye Yu's novel explanation, although Shen Bing only heard it for the first time, thanks to the accumulation over a long period of time, she understood it at once.

"I see, the original universe is like a towering tree, and the main trunk is the so-called buffer area, and all the same parts of the parallel universe are placed in the buffer area. And the different parts of the two parallel universes are placed in the parallel zone, and this parallel zone is the branch that branches are infinitely branched out! Shen Bing suddenly realized.

"For example, if a person comes to an intersection, his next step may be to go to road A or road B. At this time, the trunk of the big tree called the universe will extend and grow two branches, and the person in branch A will go to road A, and the person in branch B will go to road B. Both branches hold the person's journey to either A or B, all subsequent causal connections. In fact, it represents two different lives of this person! ”

"And in this universe, all the parts that are irrelevant to this person are kept in the trunk of the tree, that is, in the buffer area!"

Ye Yu looked at Shen Bing in great surprise, he didn't expect Shen Bing to be able to understand like this: "You are very good, you can actually come up with such an image metaphor at once." ”

Shen Bing didn't care about Ye Yu's praise, she was still completely immersed in this new theory, as excited as if she had discovered a new continent, and she no longer had the cold arrogance she had before. This is a theoretical physicist studying the excitement of a breakthrough.

"Going back to the second question, I told you earlier that this is a replica of the new universe, which is actually not quite true. Originally, I didn't want to explain so much to you, but since you figured it out yourself, I'll make it clear to you. Ye Yu continued.

"The world we live in now is not so much a new universe. It's better to say that it is a membrane covering the original universe, according to the professional terminology of the empire, it is the shadow film universe! ”

"Shadow Universe?" Hearing a new term, Shen Bing expressed doubt.

"That's right, if you use your big tree universe as a metaphor." Ye Yu paused and said with a smile, "The original universe where the obsession body is located is like a big tree. And the so-called cosmic replication of the empire is to cover this big tree with a membrane, and after this film is covered, it will form the same shape as the big tree. But we didn't replicate another big tree, we just covered it with a membrane. ”

"And the space we are in now is in this membrane, and what we see is what this big tree originally looked like. In other words, the two of us are in the membrane, looking at the trunk of this big tree. ”

"So we didn't actually replicate anything, we didn't replicate any life. It just provides a stage, and all the actors on the stage, all the assets, come from the original universe, from the shared buffer. ”

Ye Yu's statement is actually very easy to understand, in modern video game production, there is the concept of shared cache. When the game is made, there will be a unified resource library with all the resource materials of the game, and multiple different scenes of the game can go to the resource library to call the same material.

For example, there is an oil drum in the asset library, and the oil drum is used as an ornament in scene A, and the oil drum is also used as an ornament in scene B. In both scenes, there is this oil barrel, and it seems that there are two oil barrels. However, after the game is packaged, there will only be one oil drum resource size.

The two scenes only save the reference path and location information, but do not record any information about the drum itself.

The advantage of this is that the size of the game's bag can be greatly reduced.

The shared buffer mentioned by Ye Yu is similar to the concept of such a resource library, but the concept of expanding the scene in the game into a parallel universe.

Shen Bing said thoughtfully: "In other words, these people and things we see now are all from the original universe?" They exist in both the original universe and the copied universe? ”

Ye Yu nodded and said, "Yes, before it was not disturbed." Their life trajectories are exactly the same as those of the original universe, so they all exist in the common intersection of the two universes, that is, in the shared buffer. ”

"And we are in this membrane, and whatever we do, it will not have any impact on the original universe."

After listening to this, Shen Bing pondered for a while and said, "Then the third question, why did you say that I did something wrong just now?" ”

Ye Yu replied carefully: "As I said just now, the copied universe we are in now is the shadow universe. It has a special place. That is, it is a world that has been sealed and sealed, and it cannot split into a new parallel universe. ”

"Because when the shadow film universe is generated, the law of cause and effect will bind everything in this universe to a fixed trajectory, which is the so-called fate."

"Therefore, there is no possibility in this shadow film universe. Everything is carried out according to a fixed script, and the core of this script is the life of the obsession! ”

After listening to this, Shen Bing thought for a while and continued: "In other words, the normal universe is like a big tree that grows, and it will naturally grow many branches and branches. And this 'Shadow Film Universe' is just a layer of film covering the original Cosmic Tree, and the shape of this film has been sealed and fixed according to the shape of the original Cosmic Tree at the moment when it was copied, so there will be no further changes! ”

Ye Yu nodded in affirmation of Shen Bing's statement, and then continued: "However, you and I are alien beings and do not belong to this universe. So we become the only variable in this universe. ”

"Because of the butterfly effect, our every move will have a profound impact on this universe. Any small gesture you think right now could completely change the course of the world. ”

Hearing this, Shen Bing thought for a moment and said, "You mean, if there is no such thing as our existence. The world will go exactly according to the trajectory of the original universe. The life of the obsession body will be a completely fixed life. But because of our existence, the life of the obsession body may change. ”

"Yes, this is the core of life retrospective." Ye Yu replied, "We came to this universe, naturally we didn't come to see the play. The only purpose of coming to this shadow universe is to change the original sad life of the obsession. ”

"A person will have obsessions, mostly because he has experienced some things in his past life that he can't let go. If we can let him experience life all over again, and it will be a different life, a life he wants. So when this new life of his life ends, will he be able to let go of his obsession and detach? ”

When Shen Bing heard this, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the purpose of life retrieval. ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Bing said a little unconvinced: "In that case, then I did something wrong just now, won't I save that little girl?" We are going to change this universe after all. ”

"And according to you, any changes we make in this shadow universe will not have any effect on the original universe. Any disturbing changes we make here just change the shape of that film. At best, it generates parallel zones of several branches, with little impact on the buffer. Shen Bing said confidently.

When Ye Yu heard this, he smiled disdainfully: "Hehe, do you think that there is no cost to change this membrane?" If it weren't for the fact that I just used time to rewind once, I'm afraid you'd be dead. ”

Shen Bing didn't look like Ye Yu was intimidating himself, so he had to continue listening.

"As I said earlier, this shadow universe is bound by the law of cause and effect. If you want to change the world, that is against the law of cause and effect, against the will of the entire universe! ”

However, because the core of this shadow universe is the life of the obsession, the life of the obsession is the place where the law of cause and effect is most constrained. As long as you don't interfere with the life of the obsessive body, you will be at peace with the law of cause and effect. Because of your existence, the slightest disturbance to the world will be automatically corrected by the law of cause and effect. For example, every breath you take is a variable and an accident for this universe. Who knows if if you sneeze right now and will cause a tornado to break out across the ocean? So the law of cause and effect will automatically correct the slight disturbance that your existence has caused to the world itself, including the two of us in this world, and the law of cause and effect will automatically correct it for us. ”

"But as long as you interfere with the life of the retrospective target and change it, the law of cause and effect will punish you. There are many forms of this kind of causal punishment, sometimes there are causal monsters, sometimes there are all kinds of bizarre accidents. So just now I didn't doubt at all that a meteorite would suddenly drop down and kill you. ”

Shen Bing was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she also reacted immediately and said, "You mean, that little girl has something to do with the obsession body?" ”
