Needless to say, this is an idea that is absolutely difficult to describe simply. In fact, it is the information itself that determines its supremacy in nature.

This is undoubtedly also very magical, and the best way to understand the physical importance of information is not in any aspect that we can see, it is in the realm of molecules. It was a well-known paradox that was proposed long before the theory of molecular motion was truly accepted. From this paradox, the power of the depths of the message is revealed.

There is a very powerful law that governs the fate of the universe, and that is the second law of thermodynamics. It declares that things always tend to be disordered, so that the cups will always break and not coalesce. Although the laws of physics do not prevent this from happening, and it is probably possible. In the same way, the universe will only slowly come to an end.

But this paradox seems to counter this, and it is Maxwell's goblin.

This paradox assumes that there is a goblin on the top of the box, which knows about the movement of molecules inside the box, and that the box itself is separated by a valve left and right. So whenever the fast molecule approaches the valve in the middle, the fairy manipulates the valve to make it go to the left half; When the Slow Molecules get close to the valve, the elf manipulates the valve to get them into the right half. As a result, we will find that the system entropy of the air inside the box is inverted little by little.

The point here is that the elves don't seem to need outside forces to do this job, which means a very peculiar phenomenon: it seems that if they can get enough information, they can get rid of the second law of thermodynamics. It also means that both perpetual motion and eternal life are truly possible. Even the universe has the potential to escape its ultimate destiny.

Information seems to be creating order out of chaos, and this is the terrifying power behind information.

Is this true?

Unfortunately, it's not.

What Maxwell's goblins do is decide which side to take them based on the molecule's information. Then it is very obvious that every time it does this work, it accumulates an additional piece of information about the movement of molecules. However, the medium through which it can record information is not infinite. Without infinite memory, neither the brain nor any other memory can do the job. Then when the memory is filled, additional memory must be added. At this point, the entropy is passively increased by the additional amount of memory.

Here's the question, just as the brain can forget to remember things, so can memory delete information. So, if you keep deleting the information you have, won't the entropy increase?

Unfortunately, it's still not.

The truth of the matter is that it takes energy to manipulate information. Whether it's performing the simplest computation or deleting a bit of information, it takes a minimal amount of energy. Since the energy expended cannot be restored, the entropy in a closed system can never be reduced.

This minimum amount of energy required to manipulate one bit of information is known as the "Randall limit", which is the minimum consumption allowed by the second law of thermodynamics. Like the place of quantum in physics, the Landall limit is the most fundamental component of the universe.

The second law of thermodynamics maintains its unshakable authority in this way, and the Landall limit is the last limit it imposes on information.

However, the limitations of the second law of thermodynamics also mean that, apart from the insurmountable obstacle of the Landall's limit, information is almost impossible.

Considering Turing's definition of life and consciousness, the Randall limit is probably the only insurmountable obstacle to the concept of life, which is the entropy that represents the limit of life.

Powerful power itself does not need to be incredible, it is perhaps the most common thing we have access to every day, and we can experience it at any time. It's just that most of the time, we don't recognize how extraordinary it is.

It's like telekinesis is just the ability to move objects over long distances, and it can't do anything else. It was one of the first superpowers to be recognized in human history, and it is almost indistinguishable from the ability to predict.

However, as the information is understood, the power hidden under the simple definition of telekinesis is unearthed. Today, it is recognized as one of the most widely applicable capabilities. The process of understanding the dynamics of mind is the process of giving birth to complexity from simplicity.

It is only at this point that this most common and simple ability finally brings together two of the most fundamental concepts in the universe: information and energy.

But despite this, even if you understand the principle, it is a thing that goes beyond common sense. No, it should be said that it is the understanding of its principle that makes people more aware of how extraordinary it really is.

Although the essence of the information is grasped, it may only require a minimal amount of energy to do so. But what a lot of information to calculate.

At least a few days ago, Mitsuki Umihara had never imagined.

In fact, he found out that this was just a coincidence in itself, but this coincidence led him to discover the body of the triangular pillar that Ji Yanbi had given him.

School City has indeed always had rumors of a generation calculation system.,But Mitsuki Haihara never thought that he would get such a sample.。

So he could understand very well that Sat'ora was staring at him like an eagle at this time, because even he felt incredible.

But what made him even more difficult to explain was that the double spiral tree still kept up with the speed of change. It's like there's the same mechanism inside it, and the same calculations are being performed.

Although it may not be able to interfere with anything other than itself because it does not have the telekinesis as a means of long-range movement, the white spiral tree does the same thing, but in the opposite direction.

While pulling and reversing, while pushing forward, this description can best express the situation at this time.

Then the singing took over.

The song that came from nowhere became the dominant one the moment it sounded.

When the song sounds, the triangular column fades from its light; When the song sounds, the Tree of the Double Helix begins to crumble.

When the song sounds, it's as if everything has turned into the background.

When the song sounds, all gazes lose their meaning.

The ethereal singing voice seems to come from another world, a world woven with knowledge.

I've never heard a song like this before, but Mitsuki Umihara is very familiar with the singer's voice.

It was the voice of his favorite sister.

This familiar voice sings a slightly sad song.

Mitsuki Umihara listened to this song, his eyes staring at the pure white double helix tree.

From the top, the tree continues to disintegrate. Between the contractions of the huge wings that seemed to guard the tree, countless white feathers were sprinkled.

Seeing that everything will come to an end in song......

"Ahh

Sattella couldn't help but snort softly.

There are petals falling.

Thousands of uncountable pure white petals are flying in the night sky.

Tulips, water lilies, mountain lilies, roses, honeysuckle, cherry blossoms, bellflowers, poppies, peonies......

Almost every flower name you can imagine can be found here. They come in a variety of species, but they all have the same pure white color.

As white as shards of moonlight, countless flowers burst into bloom at this time, and the petals drifted in song with the summer night breeze.

The feathers that fell from those huge wings turned into petals that dotted the night, fluttering and falling.

The alabaster-like double helix tree is peeling off little by little,

"What a beautiful ......"

Sattella couldn't help but sigh.

She couldn't hear the singing, only a few jumbled voices. So, in principle, she should be less touched than anyone else. But the beauty of what you see with your eyes is enough to touch people's hearts.

It's so beautiful, it's like you've sunk down from the sky.

The double helix tree, which was beginning to lose its shape, unfolded little by little as it disintegrated, revealing a budding flower bud wrapped in the center.

The moment the buds are revealed, it gives people the feeling that the whole world is encased in it.

The feeling is neither sacred nor weird. But it gives people the illusion that "this is all taken for granted".

It was such an unusual thing, but there was something inexpressible that burrowed into Satera's heart.

She intuitively recognized that she seemed to be missing something crucial, and that it had an inexplicable relationship to what she was seeing.

Haiyuan Mitsuki walked towards the place where the bud was, and Satéola was naturally startled, and she hurriedly grabbed him.

"What are you going to do?"

She said in an accusatory tone.

Although what she had just seen convinced her that the young man in front of her had incredible strength, she was not at all reassured by this.

To be honest, everything that happened today was unexpected, and she simply didn't know what to do right. Maybe it's better not to do anything for a while.

But Mitsuki Umihara just looked at her silently. With just one look, Sattella knew that she would never be able to convince him.

Unconsciously, she let go of Mitsuki Haihara's hand.

"Thank you."

It's a sincere thank-you, although in reality Satera's has done nothing.

Mitsuki Haihara exerted his left foot and stepped forward. Sattella hesitated for a moment, then followed with the power of the drive armor.

Just this step is like coming to the ruins of a beautiful and British United States.

The hotel building had already partially recovered under his force, but when the Double Helix Tree collapsed, gravity destroyed part of the building again.

The top of the building was the most damaged, and the starry sky could still be seen through the remains of the double-helix trees that had not yet completely collapsed.

The pure white bud was supported there by the wreckage at this time.

The ground beneath his feet seemed to be the part that had been repaired, and the aisle stretched straight forward. The part that was previously swallowed by the Inky Tree also seems to have gone back in time.

The petals cover the ground, like a thick carpet.

Why doesn't he seem to care about such an unfamiliar thing at all?

It's hard to imagine Satéola. However, she remembered that Mitsuki Umihara once said that the person who caused all this was one of his senior sisters.

Maybe he'd seen something like that before?

Maybe......

Mitsuki Umihara stopped.

In the song of a distant place, the buds gradually bloomed. The girl wrapped in the bud is like a fetus conceived in a fruit.

The delicate and beautiful fibers in the bud gently wrapped the naked maiden, slowly lowering her from the wreckage.

"Call an ambulance."

Mitsuki Haihara said to her. He stepped forward and carefully picked the girl up from the petals.

This is a girl with long hair as black as silk, and it is hard to imagine that she is the embodiment of that incredible thing.

No, it should be said that whatever it is seems unbelievable......

(Well, that's interesting.) ）

Suddenly, it seemed as if Satella had someone whispering something in her ear. She hurriedly looked around, but saw no one.

However, she found that Haiyuan Mitsuki's brows suddenly furrowed.

He seemed to feel something else compared to himself.

"Let's go!"

For little reason, Sat'ora chose to take Umihara's word for it. The two of them, along with the girl who was held in Mitsuki Haihara's arms, ran a few steps quickly, and then each used their ability to exert their strength, and jumped out of the building in an instant.

The moment the two landed, an unknown force "rushed" out of the hotel building.

It doesn't cause any phenomenon, it's just like a force in existence and nothingness. It didn't leave any traces, and the word "rushing" was just a false description.

The only thing that could be seen was the dilapidated body of the building and the remains of the double spiral tree, which seemed to have lost its sense of existence and disappeared without a trace.

Only a few fragments of "trees" scattered nearby can prove that what just happened is not what you saw in your dreams.

=======================================================================

Uploader's note: At the request of the author, please take some time to remark something. This topic is related to the second law of thermodynamics mentioned in this chapter.

As many of you can imagine, physicists generally hope to find laws that are universal and valid at any time and place. This is a quest for any scientist. But there are a few notable exceptions to this in a few laws. This is not because physicists have abandoned the quest for universality of laws, but because some laws contain content that is even more difficult for scientists to accept than they are not. This is the case, for example, with the second law of thermodynamics.

Few laws are as unacceptable as the second law of thermodynamics that physicists would rather be wrong for it. At the time when the true meaning of the second law of thermodynamics was discovered, many scientists could not accept it, and many of them even believed that it would eventually violate the first law of thermodynamics. This even includes Engels.

The reason why the second law of thermodynamics is so difficult to accept is simply because it is so desperate. By definition, all human efforts to survive and thrive are merely a useless struggle in a doomed end. So there is always a law that is hoped to be able to deny it, so that at least it can prove that human efforts are not ultimately in vain from a distant point of view.

But in fact, unfortunately, such a law does not seem to exist at this time. There is no corner of the universe that can escape the domination of entropy, whether it is a small teacup or a large universe.

Here we need to talk about why Hawking has such a reputation. Many people know that he discovered the phenomenon of Hawking evaporation. Some people may also know that this is a phenomenon that combines quantum mechanics and general relativity. That's right, this is indeed one of the reasons why Hawking's work is so compelling. But there is at least another important reason for this, which comes from thermodynamics.

Because once upon a time, it was thought that black holes would be a special case, a place where the second law of thermodynamics could not be addressed. Because the event horizon area increases after the black hole swallows up information, but at the same time it does not emit radiation, which violates the laws of thermodynamics. To put it simply, if the event horizon area is the entropy of a black hole, then the surface gravity is equivalent to the temperature. We knew that anything with a temperature of non-zero would definitely produce radiation, but at the time it was thought that black holes could not produce radiation. For this reason, black holes have long been regarded as a special case of the second law of thermodynamics. But Hawking's calculations declare that this is all human wishful thinking. Black holes do radiate, and it converts its own mass into energy. As the event horizon area decreases, the temperature and surface gravity of the black hole rise. So, the black hole is evaporating, and the horizon of the black hole is indeed its entropy. The second law of thermodynamics is an absolutely universal law that holds everywhere in the universe, without any exceptions.

In the end, we can't get rid of entropy. This may be sad, but now we can also say that the second law of thermodynamics is not really completely desperate. For it is also the cause of all that we have created. Even in a broad sense, it determines that all this will have an end. But until that day comes, it will also create, through our hands, the most cherished thing we have – the glorious and unapologetic civilization of mankind itself.
