"At the end of physics is mathematics, at the end of mathematics is philosophy, and at the end of philosophy is theology."

In a conference room, when an old professor heard this sentence, the other experts had extremely complicated expressions.

The more than 100 people present are all top authorities in China, who represent cutting-edge science and technology and the pinnacle of human science. However, a very unscientific thing has cast a shadow on the hearts of these people.

In ancient Mayan mythology, in December 2012, three days of darkness will envelop everything, and the end of the world will come. Even schoolchildren scoff at this statement, and mainstream scientists around the world have not found any threats related to 2012.

However, on December 23, 24, and 25, 2012, the sun and moon went on strike, and the legendary three days of darkness came as scheduled. Despite the lights of humanity, endless panic swept the world in just three days.

After three days, the darkness cleared and the sun rose as usual.

Before people had time to celebrate the aftermath of the catastrophe, even more strange visions appeared.

Three thousand pillars of colorful light have mysteriously appeared in major human gatherings around the world.

Oriental Huaguo, there are 100 such pillars of light, located in the 100 most densely populated cities in China.

Those pillars of light were twelve meters in diameter, one end deep into the ground, and the other into the sky. The pillar of light emitted seven colors of light, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, faintly exuding a mysterious temptation, as if calling all living beings into the range of the pillar of light.

No one knew what was inside the pillar of light, and all the humans and animals who walked in were mysteriously missing, as if they had been teleported to another plane. The military of various countries sent death squads to investigate, and after a year, these death squads have not been heard from. There are also people who are not afraid of death who have walked into the colorful pillar of light, and the end is all evaporated from the world.

In Western countries, the human reaction is very strong, especially the adherents of various religions, which have long been messy. Some believe that those pillars of light are God's call to lead believers to the gates of heaven. Others believe that it is the temptation of the devil, and that if you walk into the pillar of light, you will fall into an infinite hell. In just one year, more than 10 million people in North America have disappeared into the pillar of light, and tens of millions of human beings in Europe have risked their lives.

Asia is polarized, and the countries of West Asia generally believe that this is the manifestation of Allah, and tens of millions of humans have poured into the pillar of light. East Asian countries, on the other hand, are more convinced of science and maintain a wait-and-see attitude. Huaguo, the most powerful country in the East, has a very ambiguous attitude at the top, neither encouraging citizens to enter the colorful pillar of light, but also not opposing it.

There are rumors on the Internet that the high-level officials of Huaguo also have a strong interest in the mysterious seven-colored pillar of light, and in addition to sending death squads, they also secretly put in a large number of death row prisoners and life sentence criminals as "pathfinders" like guinea pigs.

Many people are also eager to try, some people who are hunted down by the enemy, people who owe huge debts and can't be repaid, people who want to jump off the building after failing to speculate in stocks, people who want to die after falling out of love, people who have a terminal illness and have little time to live, and people who feel that life is too boring and just want to find some excitement, have poured into the colorful pillars of light.

The three thousand pillars of colorful light are terrifying, and they also give hope to some desperate people.

More than half of the world's population believes that the pillar of light is a miracle.

For what science cannot explain, one can only classify as a miracle.

"At the end of physics is mathematics, at the end of mathematics is philosophy, and at the end of philosophy is theology."

Since the cataclysm brought on by the Three Days of Darkness, this phrase has become very popular.

People have traced back to the roots and found some plausible examples.

For example, Mr. Yang Zhenning, a Nobel laureate in physics, once said: "The end of physics is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is religion." ”

The Chinese physicist Tsung-Dao Lee also said: "The end of physics is aesthetics, the end of aesthetics is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology." ”

No matter how you switch in the middle, the end is all about theology.

In this regard, there is also a giant-level super idol, the originator of modern science - Newton, the founder of gravity, and the three laws are known to everyone. Newton's life underwent typical transformations in physics, mathematics, philosophy, and theology, and in addition to the timeless achievements of physics, he also published "Analytic Geometry" and "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".

Such a great god lived to be eighty years old, forty of which were devoted to the exploration of science, and the other forty years were devoted to theology. Newton used many "scientific phenomena" to prove the existence of God, and even when he was studying how old the earth was, he even used the Bible to extrapolate 6,000 years. Such stark contrasts make it difficult for people to associate these events with this giant of science, and later generations generally believed that Newton's late life was not guaranteed, and that he had gone from materialism to idealism.

It wasn't until after the cataclysm that a voice emerged from all over the world: Perhaps, Newton was right.

It's just that this legendary giant with an IQ of 290 is too advanced in his thinking for mortals to understand his thinking world.

……

……

The 3,000 pillars of light have triggered all kinds of conjectures, but they have not changed the daily lives of most people.

As long as you don't walk into the range of the pillar of light, how should the common people live.

In China, people should go to work, go to school, and make appointments. The world in the news broadcast is still so beautiful, the urban management everywhere is still so irritable, and the demolition team is still domineering and demolishing...... In their spare time, the people would discuss the mysterious seven-colored pillar of light, guessing whether those who entered it were dead or alive.

On January 1, 2014, in Zhonghai City, Huaguo, a young man ran towards the colorful pillar of light in the center of the city.

Beside the young man, there is also a black dog that is also galloping.

This tall, athletic winter coat, handsome sunny boy named Zhao Hao is a third-year student at the School of Physical Education of Zhonghai University. At Zhonghai University, Zhao Hao is quite legendary, and he is nicknamed Zhao Ritian.

He is the captain of the CUHK basketball varsity team, with perverted physical fitness, can play a two-way guard, can also play as a small forward, once brutally rode a two-meter-high center, and is a famous swingman in the domestic college league. Zhao Hao reached the peak of his life when he was a freshman, he won the best rookie in the college league, and he was very happy, and he had a school girlfriend.

In the past season, Zhao Hao, a sophomore, won the MVP and was favored by professional clubs, and his small life became more and more nourishing. Today he went out to walk his dog and bought a small gift for his girlfriend by the way, but unfortunately encountered a tragedy.

In a dark alley, he saw pictures that he shouldn't have seen and heard secrets that he shouldn't have heard.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhao Hao never dreamed that this kind of thing would happen, and he was shot purely while lying down.

Behind him, two men in sunglasses were chasing after him frantically.

Zhao Hao exerted his speed of 10.8 seconds in 100 meters, and ran even more happily, because he knew that the two black-clad men in sunglasses who looked like killers were carrying silenced pistols. He didn't ask the police uncle for help, and one of the culprits in the bloody case that he inadvertently broke was the police.

"Stop, or I'll shoot!"

The grim-faced officer pulled out his gun and fired a warning shot, startling nearby passers-by.

Zhao Hao turned a deaf ear, and ran wildly with the help of pedestrians and obstacles.

A deadly sense of crisis filled his heart, and this sense of crisis gave him an intuition: whether it fell into the hands of the man in sunglasses or the police, he would not escape death.

Before he knew it, he ran to the vicinity of the seven-colored pillar of light.

Within 100 meters of the pillar of light, there was no one.

This is the case with colorful pillars of light all over the world, and ordinary people are reluctant to approach the pillars of light, and they take detours when they pass by. Zhao Hao himself has no interest in the colorful pillar of light, as a scumbag who failed physics in high school, he didn't even understand the introduction to physics, and he really didn't have time to explore what the end of physics was. His dream is to graduate from college and become a professional footballer, and then marry his girlfriend Vivi and have children.

But now, Zhao Hao can't manage so much.

He caused a riot, and many patrolmen surrounded him from all sides.

"Fight!"

Zhao Hao panicked and rushed into the colorful pillar of light.

The big black dog, who had a deep relationship with him, also rushed in with him.

The moment he ran into the pillar of light, Zhao Hao heard the sound of gunshots.

The powerful bullet hit the pillar of light, like a mud cow entering the sea, without setting off the slightest wave.

Zhao Hao didn't have time to check whether he had been shot, he only felt that the sky was dark in front of him, and the sun and moon were dark.

A vast and boundless thought rumbled like thunder in his mind:

"Welcome to the world of evolution, weak creatures, and begin your evolutionary path!"
