Chapter 10: The Old Man of the Dust: I Think, Therefore I Am (6)

.

"Okay, Fanxiang apprentice, you sit down first. Children, please be quiet!" Old Man Yichen stroked his gray beard, smiled kindly, and said gently, "Then let's talk about these two situations separately." ”

The children fell silent and their eyes widened in thirst for knowledge. The lecture hall was very quiet, and only the sound of children's breathing could be faintly heard.

"Is the fate of our cosmic world determined by necessity or chance? Or is it the question of whether the Holy Emperor plays dice or not?" If the Holy Emperor plays dice, then quantum mechanics asserts that the world is determined by uncertain and random events, and this uncertainty can be understood as fluctuations, which is actually the contradictory operation of the dialectic claim; So, I want to use the concept of string theory to think that all subatomic particles are not small dots, but strings that resemble rubber bands. The only difference between the types of particles is the frequency difference in the vibration of the strings, just as the strings play syllables such as gong, quotient, horn, sign, and feather due to vibration, and the height of the syllables is like the difference in frequency. String theory mainly attempts to solve the two main systems of matter and energy that are superficially incompatible—quantum mechanics and ambientical relativity—and aims to create a 'theory of everything' that describes the entire universe. However, this theory is very difficult to test, and requires some adjustments to our current depiction of the universe, that is, there must be more space-time dimensions in the universe than we know about the eleven-dimensional space, and these hidden dimensional spaces may be so small that we do not find them. I now think that some inherent concepts lock our thinking thoughts, they are actually hidden in our brains, and in the whole material world, our brain is the most complex structure, when thinking and forming pictures, it is not bound by dimensional space, so when we explore and practice, we must not rest on our laurels, we must be open-minded, learn from things, draw inferences from one another, and exhaustively study the mysteries of the unknown field of knowledge, so as to achieve the unity of knowledge and action. ”

"Yes, Master. In the scripture hall, the children responded in unison.

The old man took a sip of tea juice on the spout of the vermilion pot, then put the pot on the podium, stood up, smoothed the hem of the gray cloth placket, and said slowly to the children, "Children, now let's go for a walk in the courtyard." ”

Everyone followed the old man to the courtyard.

At this time, it is the season of spring and May in the middle of the mountain, the temperature in the middle of the mountain is cooler than under the mountain, the morning sun is not cold or hot, shining in the courtyard, the warm temperature is just right. The flowering period of the hundred flowers is a little later than that of the mountain, but now it is the blooming buds, the flowers are purple and red, competing for beauty. There are a few butterflies with blue and purple flowers on their wings flying among the flowers and leaves in the courtyard, and a number of golden bees "buzzing" between the flowers, or burrowing into the stamens to collect nectar. A white cat lies on the fence of a flower bed, lazily basking in the sun, half-squinting and napping.

"Children, are the flowers in our yard beautiful?"

"It's beautiful!" the children exclaimed.

"When we were lecturing in the hall just now, when you didn't see these flowers, do you think they are beautiful?"

...... "Children, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't make a sound."

"Kids, you didn't see or perceive the flowers, so you couldn't tell, right?"

"Well, yes. The children nodded, their eyes shining childishly and innocently.

"'To exist is to be perceived,' we are now changing this sentence slightly to 'to be measured'. When you don't look at this flower, it will die with you, and when you look at this flower, the color of this flower will be understood for a while...... That is to say, when you do not observe the flower, the flower does not really exist, that is, it dies, and when you come to observe the flower, the flower collapses, and its color becomes a clear ......reality for a while. That is to say, the so-called measurement is reason, and there is no reason outside measurement. Can you understand?"

"Oh,......"

"Kids, do you see that cat? Now let's imagine that we put the cat in a box and at the same time, a can of poison gas and a small amount of radioactive material. In an hour, i.e. two hours, there is about a 50% chance that the radioactive material will decay and break the gas canister, releasing poison gas to kill the cat, and the remaining 50% probability that the radioactive material will not decay and the cat will survive. You can imagine that one of these two outcomes is bound to occur in the box, and the outside observer will not know the result inside until the box is opened. But in the strange world described in the Quantum Force Sutra, whether the cat is dead or alive can only be known after the box is opened, and the external observer 'measures' the specific situation. When the box is closed, the whole system remains in a state of uncertainty, and the cat is both dead and alive. The purpose of this thought experiment is to demonstrate that the concept to be clarified in the bizarre Quantum Force Sutra is that when it expands from the invisible microscopic particles to the visible macroscopic concrete objects, the knowledge and understanding of the microscopic particle world is beyond common sense, but this makes the microscopic uncertainty principle become the macroscopic uncertainty principle, the objective law is not subject to human will, and the cat is both alive and dead violates logical thinking, which sounds very ridiculous. But it cleverly connects the existence of microscopic matter as particles or waves after observation with the macrocosmic concrete cat, describing the truth of the world to be expounded in the Quantum Force Sutra: some properties of invisible microscopic particles cannot be determined until the measurement of external forces forces them to choose. Of course, in this thought, we also need to know that in addition to the superposition of cats that are both dead and alive, there is an intermediate state, and cats are neither dead nor alive until they are observed to see what happens. Then, based on this idea, we can deduce the concept of a parallel universe, that is, another universe that is the same as our cosmic world, and thus derive it as the mirror god technique and the Qiankun Illusion Body Method that the master has demonstrated to you. ...... Do you understand?"

"Well, I see, no wonder Master is so powerful. The disciples were amazed and couldn't help but praise from the bottom of their hearts.

"Master, can we do this experiment without this cat,...... This cat is so well-behaved!" Nalan Rouruo, Spider, Ganlu, Linyi and other female disciples glanced at each other and protested to the master.

"Oh," Master Yichen said with a kind smile as he looked at everyone, then at the butterflies flying among the flowers, "Okay then." Did you see the butterfly?"

Everyone followed Master's gaze and saw a beautiful butterfly flying over the flowers, making an arc in the air, and then flying behind a Bodhi tree.

"Now, children, let's guess if the butterfly is behind a tree, or is it not?"

"It's still there, I guess. ”

"Not anymore, I guess. ”

"It's not there, hee-hee. ”

......。

"Now, kids, when we don't go behind a tree to observe, the butterfly is either absent or absent or absent in a superposition of the two states, right? ”

"Well, yes. ”

"In other words, we can only determine the presence of butterflies if we go to the tree and make observations, that is, after measurements. Then, we imagine a macroscopic butterfly as a substance much smaller than a millicent, that is, a microscopic particle, which will be unexpectedly very large after entering the microscopic level such as molecules, atoms, quanta, etc. Some properties of microscopic particles cannot be determined until the measured external forces force them to choose. This is what the Quantum Force Sutra attempts to explain some of the uncertainties in the cosmic world, because this uncertainty comes from two factors: first, the act of measuring something will inevitably disturb that thing and thus change its state, and second, because the quantum world is not concrete, but there are deeper and more fundamental limitations to precisely determining the state of a particle based on probability. Here, let's understand the most amazing phenomenon expounded in the Quantum Force Sutra - quantum entanglement. What is quantum entanglement? Entanglement is a very important concept in the Quantum Force Sutra. It describes two particles entangled with each other, and the behavior of one particle will affect the state of the other, even if they are far apart. When one of them is manipulated (e.g. a quantum measurement) and the state changes, the other will immediately change the state. This phenomenon is like a ghostly long-range action, and the speed of this long-range action is more than four times the speed of light, so you can imagine if any of us has mastered the essentials and exercises of this kind of long-range action, then what kind of level of cultivation ability will he reach? So, children, is it important to learn and understand the knowledge of this quantum force meridian?"

"Important!" the children said in unison.

Combining the two completely different, or seemingly contradictory, principles of the Quantum Force Sutra and the Duality Sutra, we can think that our cosmic world is orderly and chaotic. Like what:

(1) The chaos of the philosophical world.

We used to think that the world was material, and consciousness was another kind of existence opposed to matter, but now we think that the cosmic world is made of energy. We can find that the matter we know is only 5% of the universe. Two quanta, which are not connected, can be entangled like gods. Putting consciousness into the molecular and quantum states to analyze, consciousness is actually a kind of matter, or rather, a beam of energy state.

There are still 95% of the matter in the universe that we don't know, so in addition to the existence of demons, ghosts, and characters in the three-dimensional space, there are also particles or energy in other dimensions, such as strings. Since quantum energy is entangled, the strings or superstrings of the law of all things should also be able to exist. At the same time, who can guarantee that among these unknown matter, there is no matter or energy that cannot completely and completely affect our various states through quantum entanglement?

From this, we can know that this cosmic world is composed of multiple dimensions, and the currently known realms, such as the other worlds in the world, the galactic realm in the sky, or the boundaries of the universe beyond, etc., are divided into super-god-level holy realm civilization, divine realm civilization, underworld civilization, demon realm civilization, human realm civilization, etc. There are six world-level civilizations such as the physical civilization, which belong to the three levels of cosmic civilization, for example, human civilization belongs to the 0.73 level of the first-level cosmic civilization, which is a relatively low-end civilization category. I think that in addition to the six realm-level civilizations we know in the universe, there should be an unknown civilization beyond the scope of our cognition, and we will temporarily name it the Metaverse, but it is impossible to measure it at present. Each realm has a boundary, and the Holy Realm, the highest dimensional civilization within our cognition, looks down on all realms.

The civilization of the physical world is the lowest civilization, but that is what we think. Who's to say that a world-level civilization must be low-end or humble? For example, those weak ants, you know how delicate and orderly their social order is, and how ingenious their construction is underground, even though they are in the second dimension. In front of them, human beings are like gods, and they can ignore their state of existence, but in fact, it is just that human beings, as the king standing at the top of the food chain in this three-dimensional space, arrogantly look down on all beings. Sitting high on the throne in the three-dimensional space of this cosmic world, have you never thought that one day, when destruction comes, human beings will not even have decent dignity, just like the ants under the flower garden in the courtyard between your fingers?

As big as you know the world, you yourself are as small as you are!

Strength is the only barrier to dignity. Therefore, if you are proud of your son, you will not be filial, and if you are proud of your brother, you will not be able to be a brother.

Arrogance is the biggest obstacle to survival!"

The old man paused, bent down and picked up a fallen leaf from the ground, blew the dust on it, looked calm and indifferent, looked at the disciples, continued to preach, and talked eloquently.

"(2) The collapse of the inner world.

The world we see is only 5% or less of the entire universe. This is much more than the original thought, when we didn't know that there was air, we didn't know the forceful field, we didn't know the invisible quantum, and we didn't know the world as much as we could imagine.

The world is so unknown, we are so ignorant, what else can we not let go?

Of course, it also motivates us to explore, to infinitely increase the weight and breadth of the power we can control.

Boys, you say, shouldn't it be like this?"

"Yes, Master, we must study hard!" the children's faces were full of excitement and heroism.

"Master, when a person becomes a god, what will happen to his life form? Will he have infinite supernatural powers? Will he be able to come and go between heaven and earth freely?" asked the child named Fan Xiang with his hand raised, blinking his slender and smart eyes, and his face full of childishness.

"That's the question, haha, gods are flesh and blood, they are all born, old, sick and dead, they are either carbon-based lifeforms, or silicon-based lifeforms, mechanical lifeforms, energy lifeforms, etc., take you as an example. The old man looked at Fanxiang with a smile and said, " The little apprentice of Fanxiang was originally an incense candle on the ruthless stove under the teacher's seat, and the fireworks emitted when you burn will produce light and heat energy, so we can define your ontological attribute as an energy life form, but for the teacher to see that you have a form and no substance, so he used a bone left over from the ascension of Pangu Emperor that he once obtained by chance to make your backbone, and you will be transformed into a humanoid body, and Pangu Emperor is from the holy realm, as a silicon-based lifeform, so your ontological attribute has the characteristics of a silicon-based lifeform, so, on the whole, your ontological attribute is a silicon-based energy lifeform, theoretically speaking, you are born with an endowment superior to all people, soYou have to cherish what you get, child. ”

The old man Yichen looked at Fanxiang earnestly, instructed, his tone was gentle and powerful, paused, looked at the children kindly, and continued: "For example, Amaterasu's body is a crow, and its attribute is a carbon-based lifeform, Shichuan's body's body is a pebble in the Tianhe, and its attribute is a silicon-based lifeform, and Changfeng Apprentice'er's body is an autumn wind, and its attribute is an energy lifeform. Theoretically speaking, although the life forms to which each of you belong are strong or weak in terms of innate endowments, they are all taught by teachers and teachers, and they all transform you into human beings, educate you to have the power of gods, and break through the biggest obstacle to your survival. But you have to remember that with great power comes great responsibility, and that when you have the power that gives you power, you put it in a cage!"

"Yes, follow Master's teachings!" all the disciples stood in unison and answered loudly.

"Master, I was wrong, please punish me. Fan Xiang stood up, lowered her head, and said timidly.

"Child, change when you know your mistakes, you are still a good child. The old man reached out and touched the hairy child's head lovingly, and said gently.

Once a child learns to think, the consequences will be terrible!
