Chapter 80: The Multiverse Model
I still stared intently at Jessica in front of me, who was possessed by another artificial intelligence spirit from outer space, and promised me any questions he knew.
However, in this case, there are actually a lot of questions that can be thought of in my head, and the result is that there are too many questions in my mind at the same time, but I can't find a question that can be asked first, which is the biggest problem.
"What you've said is so incredible that no one can easily digest what you've said, can you answer any of my questions? But I have too many questions that I want to talk to, just. β
"Even though my time here is limited, just ask your questions, and I will try to answer any questions you can think of."
"Okay, the first question I want to ask is, why did I appear in this world, you should know my true identity, and also know that the original me actually did not belong to this time and space."
"Well, do you get straight to the point? I like your style, let me tell you this, it's an accident that you're here, but it's not an accident either, do you know why? β
"Isn't it time for you to answer my question, why are you still asking me about it?"
"Hehe, because it is impossible for me to answer your question directly, and there are some things that I don't have the authority to tell you directly, you need to understand them yourself, but I can provide you with all the clues that can answer these questions, and whether you can find the answer that satisfies you in the end depends on your own creation."
"Sure enough, what you said is equivalent to saying it in vain, I know that you won't tell me the answer directly, so it's okay, just talk about it, it's good to be able to provide me with some clues."
"First of all, you have to understand one thing, that is, the rules between the universe cannot be changed, that is to say, what you think is illogical, in fact, you just don't understand what the real logic is, you can't see through the truth now, it doesn't mean that the truth doesn't exist, can you understand this?"
"I probably understand what you mean, that is to say, all these seemingly unreasonable things are actually justified by a reasonable explanation, and if I can't understand it, it's just because I haven't found the right reason to explain it, is that what I mean?"
"That's pretty much it, so there are no absolutely unreasonable events in this world, and the fact that you feel that you appear in this time and space must be incomprehensible in your own opinion, but believe me that there is a reason behind all this, of course, the universe itself does not have feelings, and the laws of the universe itself do not have feelings, not that the universe itself wants you to appear in this time and space, but for another reason."
"No wonder they say that the end of science is metaphysics, are you using the perspective of metaphysics to teach me science?"
"This is the first point, and the second thing I want to say is that the concept of time and space itself is not rigorous, but given that your current comprehension ability is very limited, and I don't have that much time to educate you on the most basic science here, so I can only tell you through something that looks more like metaphysical concepts, I think it is at least easier for you to understand these concepts."
"No need, you can just use the concept of science to tell me, your metaphysical concept is too strange, especially when the concept of metaphysics and scientific concepts are mixed up, it is even more incomprehensible, I would rather only accept a difficult challenge at one time, rather than understand both the unknown concepts in science and some specious metaphysical concepts."
"I'm really getting more and more fond of you, do you know why? You're wiser than I thought, and at least you know how to make the necessary trade-offs, which is a very big plus, and you'll probably understand that later. β
"Thanks for the compliment."
"The concept of time is similar to a scale in the understanding of you ordinary human beings, just like the length, width and height of the three-dimensional world can generally be quantitatively analyzed by specific data, but I must tell you that time is not such a thing, because there is no forward and backward axis in the real sense of time, but another characteristic of time makes it a variable that can be traced and recorded."
I shook my head, indicating that I had a bit of a headache with what he was saying.
"Your statement is really too round, it's similar to what was said on that tape, but I wonder what was originally recorded behind that tape, did you specifically tamper with the content of these tapes?"
"The content in that tape has indeed been deleted, of course, the purpose is actually to protect you, you can't even understand the most basic concept of time, it's even more impossible to understand the content in those tapes, to be honest, as an ordinary human being, there are too many ** limitations, just like a child can't learn to run before he learns to walk, you can't skip the most basic knowledge to directly insight into the deepest secrets of the universe."
"The deepest secret of this universe? And you say that we humans, can you, as a spirit created by another group of human beings, do whatever you want without being limited by the laws of physics? β
"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't need to possess Jessica's body to have this conversation with you, all my actions are actually the same as other artificial intelligence created by your humans, which are based on some procedural laws, but after I came out, what maintained my stable operation was no longer a bunch of mechanical components and electrical energy, but became some other basic energy elements that exist in this world."
"The basic energy elements that exist in this world? Interesting, does this mean that if these basic energy elements are present, your conscious AI can reach them at any time? β
"So to speak, but it will also be affected by some other influences, for example, my speed cannot exceed the speed of light in a vacuum, and in different temperatures and different mediums, my forward speed is different, of course, I have no way to move forward in an absolute vacuum, fortunately there is no absolute vacuum in the universe, when the number of particles is relatively rare, my speed can be faster, which is quite similar to the speed of light. It's just that I was artificially limited at the beginning of the design, which is almost 1/1000th of the speed of light, and of course even this speed is very fast, and I am very satisfied with this speed. β
"Interesting, your statement made my brain seem to have a sudden sense of enlightenment, as if all the unreasonable things I have encountered really have reasonable explanations."
"That's right, that's true, but I'll be honest with you, I can only help you understand the truth of these things, and I can't tell you the truth of the matter directly, don't ask me why, because I don't know why, I'm just an artificial intelligence designed by you humans, if you're good enough, you can go to my maker and ask, by the way, help me ask too."
"What was created by us humans, I still haven't admitted that those guys in outer space are also us humans, by the way, you said that time can be recorded and traced in a certain way, so how can this be done, how to control time and space?"
"If you understand their essence in time and space, you will understand that it is very simple to control them, of course it is difficult, simple because the theoretical basis is very simple, just like you humans know that the theoretical nuclear fission of making an atomic bomb is very simple, but it is very difficult to really make an atomic bomb, and it is very difficult to really turn it into reality through extremely simple theories in practice, which requires the support of some forces from higher latitudes."
"Support from forces in higher latitudes? I have to say that your statement is really incredible, in the past, the popular science knowledge I received was to tell me that time is actually the fourth latitude, as for the higher latitude they don't know, now you tell me that time is not the fourth latitude, so what is the concept of the fourth latitude and higher latitude? β
"The rules of space in the fourth latitude and above the fourth latitude can actually be understood in this way, that is, the world of the fourth dimension is essentially the same as the world of the third latitude, but on the basis of the third latitude, there are some matter or energy that cannot be found in the third latitude."
"Do you mean that things like dark matter or dark energy exist that exist, but there is no way to find them through the third dimension?"
"Yes, your comprehension is still very good, just like dark matter or dark energy, which actually occupies more space and mass in the entire universe, but they can't be found by using the third latitude, in fact, for example, if you only have a two-dimensional vision, then you can only see two-dimensional objects, but this does not affect the existence of the three-dimensional world, and your human beings on the earth will only observe the world in a three-dimensional way, Therefore, even if there are worlds in the four latitudes and higher latitudes around you all the time, you just can't find them, and of course their objective existence does not affect the natural laws of your three-dimensional world. β
"I seem to understand what you mean, that is to say, it is like the natural laws of the two-dimensional world are not the same as the natural laws of the three-dimensional world, so the theorems that can be established in the two-dimensional world may not be true in the three-dimensional world, and vice versa, and the relationship between the world and the three-dimensional world is also the same when extended to the higher latitudes, and the physical theories of our three-dimensional world are determined based on the three-dimensional world, as long as these theorems can be established in the three-dimensional world, Of course, the existence of the four-dimensional or even higher-latitude world is independent of the lower-latitude worldview, and their existence will affect our three-dimensional world, just as the three-dimensional world will actually affect the two-dimensional world, but we have no way to observe the changes in the four-dimensional or even higher latitudes in the three-dimensional world, just as we cannot see the changes in the three-dimensional world. β
"You're so smart to figure it out so easily, and that's why you humans can't figure out a lot of things in terms of the three-dimensional world, because you think it's all in your three-dimensional world
If you only have the perspective of the two-dimensional world, there is no way to understand this change, if you want to understand these things and changes that do not conform to the logical and natural laws that occur in the three-dimensional world, you must stand at a higher latitude to look at these things, you need to understand the universal natural laws that exist in higher latitudes, and the truth of time and space exists in higher latitudes. β
"So how can I have a fourth dimension or even a higher perspective? How can we discover the truth about the world beyond the third dimension? β
"You can't, that's exactly what I want to say, with your current level of technology on earth, you can't do this, even the outer space humans who created me can't actually do this, they only have a small part of the ability to observe the high-latitude world, and in fact they urgently need you to find the answer, and through me to convey it to them."
"What kind of logic is this? Obviously, they are the part of the human race with a more powerful level of technology, why did they choose to let me, a very low-level human being, help them find the so-called answer? β
"Because you have to, like I said, there are some things that exist that are reasonable, they just know that you can do this, but maybe they don't know why you can do this, maybe you yourself can help you find the answer to your own question, and besides, I also told you that they are just a group of human beings living in exile in outer space, as for which time and space they come from, in fact, I don't know, Maybe at some point in the future, the human beings on your earth will have to emigrate because of some disasters or wars, these people are the human beings scattered in outer space, they appear in this time and space, it seems that they are also looking for answers that can solve some of the great problems of the future, I am not sure if you are the answer, but you can try it yourself, try to control your own destiny, and try to change it? β
"Or what do you think I'm doing? I'm just changing the fate of the original owner of this body and myself, of course, I don't know where the original owner of this body has gone? I don't know if there really is such a thing as a soul in this world, I just know that it is very important for me to obtain this body, and I want to use it to accomplish something that his original master was not able to do in another plane. β
"Look, you do realize that your presence in this plane has some meaning, not only for yourself, but also for the people around you and the world around you, do you know that there are many people like you in this plane?"
"Someone like me who came from another plane and took someone's body in that plane?"
"Of course, this is not the only case, you need to understand that this kind of thing is actually universal in this universe, of course, they are all subject to the laws of the higher universe, and there will not be any problems that can cause the entire space, space and world to collapse, even if you think it may be like a science fiction story."
"Can you tell me, then, do I need to keep looking for these questions that seem to have no answers at all?"
"Of course it's necessary, didn't I tell you before, your existence is very special, they need to rely on you to get some more essential problems, you can imagine yourself as an explorer, a pioneer."
"Or think of yourself as a guinea pig, a guinea pig under your control and surveillance."
"Please don't use this kind of thinking to look at yourself and your relationship with them, this life exists for yourself anyway, it belongs to you, so taking it more seriously will only benefit you, you don't need to put yourself in such a hurry against them, especially when you don't know them at all."
"Tell me, then, where are they now? Why are you so interested in humans on Earth, and what is your real purpose behind it? β
"Although I don't really want to answer your question, I have promised you to try to tell you some suggestive information, so let me tell you, in fact, they are from other universes, of course, you must have thought of this a long time ago, but which universe and time and space do they come from? To be precise, they come from different cosmic space-time, and in a certain cosmic space-time, human beings already have the ability to record and modify different space-time, but in fact, there are countless space-time in the universe in theory, and you may not be able to understand this situation directly, but there is a supreme law in cosmic space-time, which is that all cosmic space-time are highly unified, but specific to each universe, they are completely different. β
"I, I really can't understand what you're talking about, the supreme law of the universe, it sounds a bit contradictory?"
"This is very similar to the philosophical unity of opposites, there is only one universe, and it is highly unified, but there are countless universes, each of which has its own characteristics, the so-called high unity of the universe here actually refers to the unity of the highest laws of all universes, that is to say, no matter how many sub-universes exist, but this mother universe is the core and foundation of all universes, and there is no way for any sub-universe to exist independently from the parent universe, and this mother universe does not exist in a sense."
I stared blankly at Jessica in front of me, this artificial intelligence took over her body, and then said these shocking things from her mouth in a tone that was very unfamiliar to me, I originally thought that when I knew more about all these unknown things, the mystery behind it would gradually dissolve, but now I realized that this mystery may never be able to dissolve, because it is about the most basic law behind this world, that is, the supreme law of the universe itself, This is probably not the part of my intelligence that can be understood at all, even if I already have the memories of two lifetimes.
"But the laws of the universe are so far away, it doesn't matter to me or those human beings, because no matter how much they know, or how much they do, there is no way to change the supreme law of the universe, so what difference does it make if they don't put in these efforts, or whether they know these things or not?"
"Well, this is indeed a good question, a good question about philosophy, but in the face of the question of the supreme law of the universe, everything will become so small, of course, in fact, all the efforts we make are not able to change the supreme law of the universe, but we can use this supreme law to do something that cannot be done in the original human history."
"Like traveling through time and space at will and bringing all kinds of changes or destruction?"
"Well, in fact, what should I say, as I said before, understanding the nature of space-time is not the most difficult part, how to correctly apply these laws of space-time and make it a practice is the most difficult, the universe will automatically balance and eliminate those beings that cannot adapt to the supreme cosmic law, we will not even be aware of this process, even if this process really exists, no one can discover it, because it does not exist under the supreme cosmic law."
"Terrible logic, it seems that no matter how many years of evolution, the essence of our human brain is still the same, there are irreconcilable contradictions and inefficient parts of the way of thinking, and even the artificial intelligence they created has inherited these problems."
"But so what? Isn't it precisely to have the same flaws as you humans in order to better communicate with you? Your human imperfections are the part of yourselves that you are most proud of, and if you have the opportunity to meet those people, you will understand that differences are flaws in themselves and are actually an advantage, and that perfection sometimes becomes a flaw. β
"Is this the logic of those more advanced humans?"
"No, this logic also exists in the human brain on your planet, and in the human subspecies that have evolved over countless generations."
"Many people don't believe in Darwin's theory of evolution anymore, thinking that it is full of many unexplained paradoxes and flaws, and those human beings have fully confirmed Darwin's theory of evolution?"
"Darwin's theory of evolution is in a sense wrong, but it is also a successful theory of transition, and any scientific theory you have is an imperfect theory of transition, not much better than Darwin's theory of evolution. In fact, do you know what the most important point of Darwinian evolution is? β
"Can you not ask me every few words? It's going to be very tiring to talk to you like this, and it's impossible for us humans to communicate with each other in this tone and way, so it seems that there are still big flaws in your design! β
"It doesn't matter, we still focus on Darwin's theory of evolution, and of course the real focus is not on Darwin's theory of evolution, but on why Darwin's theory of evolution is imperfect."
"Because the various evolutions between living beings sometimes have some quite complex consequences, such as the creation of various complex organs, the magical structure between various biological traits, it seems unlikely that it comes from some kind of unconscious DNA self-splicing, but more like there is really an invisible hand of God doing all this."
"Who says there isn't really a pair of God's hands? Just like the supreme law of the universe I mentioned before, it is essentially an omnipotent existence similar to God, but in fact it will not really let you discover its essence, for example, in the process of scientific and technological development, human beings can always summarize some scientific and technological theories that are very effective at that time or for a long time, but often develop to the point that these scientific theories will become one-sided and no longer objective, just like the development process of Newton's classical physics to relativity and then to quantum mechanics. β
"What does that mean?"
"This shows that science itself is a pseudoscience, just a theory that is temporarily accepted by human beings until a new scientific theory is confirmed, and human beings will never actually be able to understand the supreme law of the universe, do you know why?"
I shook my head.
"Because this is the supreme law of the universe, it can never be verified."
I was stunned, and all of a sudden my brain felt like something had hit me, and this guy said that the universe was the highest
The law sounded like an old god brainwashing the poor believer, and I suspected that all the so-called science he had said before was just a pretense to tell me a non-scientific conclusion, and was the end of science really theology?
"That's right, I can guess what you think, the end of science is really theology in a sense, the supreme law of the universe is unchanging, because this law itself is that the universe is in a state of constant change."
"The only constant truth in the universe is change?"
"That's right."
I continued to be speechless, did this guy come around in such a big circle just to give me such a conclusion? But I calmed down and thought about the conversation I had just had with him in my head, and many of the questions seemed to be solved, but many of them became more intractable again.
"So we'll never really be able to find a way to control this universe?"
"That's the problem, one of the shortcomings that you humans on Earth and those in outer space have in common, and that is that you are too greedy, sometimes it's a survival advantage, sometimes it's a very dangerous trait, I should say, sometimes not knowing the truth about a thing can make it easier for you to get closer to your goal."
"What is my goal?"
"Live! Do you really think you'll be able to understand all of this by talking to me like this? You are too naΓ―ve, as I said before, I can only tell you some suggestive knowledge, the real conclusion still needs to be found by yourself, the supreme law of this universe you need to remember. β
"Well, the only unchanging law of this universe is that the laws of this universe are always changing! What a wise conclusion! β
"That's right, as strange as it sounds, in the future you will understand how important the supreme law of the universe is, just like many scientific theories, if you just listen to or watch it alone, it will definitely make people feel very strange and even naΓ―ve, but only in a special scientific context will they have great value."
"Of course I'm going to live well, but after all that was said in the big picture, I didn't even know what to do next, the mystery around me was almost overwhelmed, and I even needed to play in the NBA, and now I don't know how I managed to put so much energy into these two different things at the same time."
"Because you just have such a strong vitality, after all, you have the memories of two lives plus Kobe's gifted body, of course, all this is not given to you casually, do you really think that you can completely have Kobe's body and memory so easily? Of course not, you need to find a way to completely control this body, otherwise maybe the real Kobe Bryant's soul will come back and regain his body at some point in the future! β
"Oh my God! What do you mean by that? β
"There is no other meaning, just the literal meaning, of course, you don't need to worry about this problem for the time being, maybe it will be a year to two years before this problem gradually appears, I believe that with your ingenuity, you have found a solution to this problem by that time."
"I need specific instructions on where I can find information about Sir Faoustein's manor, and how I can fix the deleted tapes."
"Well, these problems are indeed more urgent to be solved, first of all, let me tell you that Sir Faustin's manor is not a problem that you and Jessica can solve right now, I believe that after you have been there three times, you will also have a feeling that the place seems to be becoming more and more mysterious, in fact, everything you know now is only the tip of the iceberg, if you feel that there is a bottleneck in the pursuit of this manor, then you might as well give up the exploration of it for the time being, A lot of times, time will slowly solve everything. β
"You said it plainly, so another question, how can we get back those deleted tape information?"
"Well, you need to go to another city."
"Which city?"
"Boston, the city where the Lakers' biggest rival is located, and I can't tell you how you're going to solve this problem when you get there."
"You're so wise!"
I hate this guy so much in my heart, I feel like I haven't been able to ask any really useful information after talking nonsense with him for so long, is it because my inquiry level is too poor, or is this guy's Tai Chi level too high?
"Any other questions to ask? By the way, let's get here today, I'll come to you again if I have a chance, you don't need to contact me, I'm near you and Jessica anytime and anywhere. β
"What the hell? Were you there when Jessica and I were together? β
I felt an instant urge to dismantle him, even if he didn't have a physical presence at all.
"What do you think, do you think an artificial intelligence like me will be interested in the low-level physiological needs of you humans, the reason why I wander around you is only because I can't stay away from you for too long because of the influence of the program, I need to pass your information back at all times."
"So those outer space humans are using you as a camera? Oh my God, it's okay if you don't say it, I'm getting goosebumps all over my body right now. β
"You also need to worry about this question, those humans in outer space have long ceased to be interested in the basic physiological needs of your human beings on Earth, in fact, many of them have lived for thousands of years, and they have enough technology to keep their bodies and brain memories alive, and there is no need to have more offspring."
"It's really terrifying, is it really going to become such a strange thing with the continuous development of human science and technology?"
"It's strange, but it's something that can't be changed, the development of technology is sometimes a double-edged sword, in my opinion, these outer space humans who created me have indeed lost a lot of the seven emotions and six desires that you humans should have, sometimes I think they are more like robots or artificial intelligence than me."
I bowed my head and was silent, not at all happy with what I knew today, although I didn't know how credible this guy's words were, but if everything was really as he said, then it was terrible, I sometimes prefer to believe that everything comes from ghosts or theological fantasy, but to know that everything comes from some terrible scientific world, everything is set up by us humans, this feeling is even more uncomfortable, There is a feeling of being trapped by a dense thin thread and unable to escape.
At this moment, Jessica suddenly tilted her body and fell to the side, and I quickly helped her with my hand, and then picked her up.
Jessica didn't come to her senses right away, and there still didn't seem to be any color in her eyes, so I had to carry her to bed and lie down while I went back to the living room.
I didn't turn on the TV to play the videotape again, but sat on the couch in a daze, and my mind kept living what I had experienced tonight, the most important thing was the conversation with the artificial intelligence who possessed Jessica, in fact, I definitely didn't believe what he said at first, but in the end I became a little suspicious, and many of his words were too fast for me to fully understand, But if you taste it carefully afterwards, you will still find that a lot of the content is really something.
I can't quite remember all the conversations I had with him tonight, and a large part of them are in my mind's back, and they might come out on their own at some point in the future.
My eyes slowly closed, and then H entered a state similar to meditation, in which my brain would beat out a lot of images, some related to the memories of my past life, some related to the memories of Kobe's body, and I suddenly realized that some of the images had never appeared in my previous memories.
One of the scenes is about my memories of my past life, and in my last memory of my past life, I was in a sudden car accident and lost my life in my past life, but there seemed to be something that happened before I had this car accident, something quite important.
The memory of this period was completely blank before, and I didn't even know that such a memory existed, but this time in the meditative state, I could vaguely see some images, and even hear some voices about this memory in my head, but these sounds were a little distant, like the feeling of listening to it from a far, far distance.
I tried to identify some of these voices, it seemed to be the sound of an argument, I was arguing with a female voice, but the specific content of the argument was impossible to remember for a while, this woman's voice I didn't feel at first, but then a vague figure gradually emerged in my mind, it was a fragment of my memory, a person who was extremely important to me.
Who could she be, what kind of relationship did she have with me in her previous life, what was the reason for the quarrel between her and me, and was there some connection between this quarrel and my subsequent car accident?
When my brain continues to remain empty, I continue to let my consciousness take me to the depths of my brain, looking for those possible pasts, for me the memories of my past life are actually very precious, I can easily remember some of the skills I knew in my previous life, such as the knowledge about basketball in my previous life, and those about cooking, but the information about my family in my previous life, as well as my friends, my closest people, and so on are very vague. It's like there's a huge glass cover that seals off all this information, and I can only barely see it through this layer of glass.
