The Lightness of Existence (6) (Mitsuki Umihara)

There has never been any doubt that there really is a so-called genius in the world.

There are always people who have spent their entire lives trying to reach places that seem to have been there since birth.

What is the difference between the so-called genius and ordinary people?

Is it comprehension, creativity, abstract profiling, intuition, perception, discernment, or something else?

Genius, etymologically analyzed, comes from the Latin word patron saint.

However, does it refer to the talent being guarded, or is it the talent that is guarded by the talent?

Or, ......

-----------------------------------------------

By the time Mitsuki Umihara returned to school, it was almost a week later.

No one knew what had happened during this time, but it was very obvious to anyone that the once cheerful teenager had suddenly become silent.

What's going on? There is no one else who knows the answer.

Of course, he didn't mention the reason to anyone, but the senior sister next to him, who was walking with him on the way home from school, seemed to see something.

"Could it be...... Did you quarrel with Sister Dome Nai? ”

"How is that possible? Why do you have such strange thoughts? ”

"Except for something related to Sister Dome Nai, there shouldn't be anything that can make you like this, right?"

Although Yanbi's guess was completely wrong, Kaihara did know that he and his sister had suddenly become estranged recently. This morning, my sister even ran to apologize to herself in fear, which confused Haiyuan.

After thinking about it, I realized that my sister thought she had inadvertently done something to hurt each other's feelings.

This is really completely wrong, why should she worry about it instead?

Sometimes, Haiyuan is really helpless with his sister. Really, she always seems to be used to blaming herself, used to thinking that she will do something wrong, how good should she be?

In fact, from beginning to end of this matter, my sister is the one who is really kept in the dark.

When Mitsuki Umihara finally learned the truth from his father, he was completely stunned. It was only then that he finally realized what his sister had been learning all these days.

It was one of the most well-known tutorials in physics, and undoubtedly at the apex of the theoretical physics exam.

"Landau Theoretical Physics Instructions", commonly known as "Landau Barrier".

The anomaly of his own days ago immediately became very natural under this great name.

How could I be only 13 years old, and how could I withstand such a great test?

Impossible, it's a barrier that even most of the most famous physicists can't overcome.

As his father said, it was an area that he could never touch now.

So, when will you be able to try to reach or even pass through this barrier?

Father gave an answer.

"With your talent, you should be able to try it in 8 years, and you will definitely be able to get out of this 'barrier' in 10 years."

So, from that moment, I knew that I would never be able to keep up with her.

To be honest, my father's words should even be quite a compliment. You must know that 8 years later, Haiyuan Mitsuki will only be 21 years old, and even 10 years later, he will only be 23 years old. In the history of the Landau Theory Essentials exam, this is at the forefront of the ranking.

That's right, if you ignore the age of the dome who is trying to challenge this barrier.

Dome Nai's age this year is-

12 years old.

Such a simple but clear two numbers completely point out the insurmountable gap between himself and his sister.

"Listen to Guanggui, you are a real genius. Especially when it comes to physics, there are very few people who can match you. Not to mention me, even Oleg Dimitri, at your age, is definitely not comparable to you. But even so, there are some people you can't use as a benchmark, not even a comparison. That's because, they're special. ”

"Is that what she is?"

Unwillingly, he asked rhetorically.

"Yes. Don't think she's as if she's close to you, it's not. She wasn't a mortal in the first place, but she had been in contact with mortals for a long time, and naturally learned how to imitate mortals. (Note 1)

My father's almost exaggerated words are so true and convincing at this moment.

Sister, is she really mortal?

What seemed like a simple and natural problem has now been completely reversed.

You can't touch it, you can't even get close. I thought she was close by, but in fact she was out of reach. It's so far away that no matter how hard you try to catch up, you can't walk side by side with her. Even, it can't even shorten the distance between the two.

"Learned how to imitate mortals".

When you think about it, what a terrible thing to say.

It was as if he had denied everyone with the gentlest words.

Although it sounds a little incredible, there are many signs that can prove that my sister is really just imitating ordinary girls.

The tenderness revealed in the character bit by bit, seems to make her sister always inadvertently ignore herself, and even want to change herself for the sake of others. It wasn't pretending, it was a genuine desire to make myself mortal.

Neither Mitsuki Umihara nor his father would have thought that they were actually close to the truth.

The dome imitates the dignity that a girl should have, the etiquette that a girl should master, and the usual way of doing things for a girl. Imitate these things that girls should master in theory, but in fact, most girls can't fully do it.

In fact, as a result, it made her even less like a mortal.

And rightfully so, after all, those are just idealized ways. Since it's idealized, it means that there are no girls who can really do it all. If you are an ordinary person, no matter how you study, you will not be able to do it to this extent. But Dome seems to have infinite talent, and she really does it all unconsciously in the process of imitation.

When imitation reaches a certain level, it is no longer imitation, and they will become completely part of their true self.

As a result, it made her completely become the most idealized girl who seemed to only appear in fantasy.

Of course, this part of Haiyuan cannot be known or understood. But, at least he knew how far his sister had transcended the mundane.

I've been living together, but from the moment I learned about it, I started to feel difficult to get along with.

It's not that I want to, it's that I can't do it the way I used to.

"I see."

Listening to Haiyuan briefly describe his feelings, the silent Yanbi said softly like a sigh.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh, anyway, I'm just a bastard big brother who is jealous of his sister."

"Lying."

stopped, but found that his senior sister was standing quietly behind him as expected. Flicking the thin braids hanging down his ears, his eyes were full of indescribable meaning.

"Light, don't tell lies that anyone can see, especially to someone you've never deceived."

“……”

"Perhaps, 'Why could she do such a thing?' But tell me, light. Have you ever thought that 'a woman like that should suffer more'? ”

“……”

There is no need to answer such a question.

How could it be?

"Answer me, or do you want me to tell you the truth?"

Looking directly at Haiyuan's line of sight, the awe-inspiring posture of the salt even coincided with the dome for a while.

"Don't act like you know everything, Senpai. You don't understand anything at all. ”

"Really? You are good at physics, you should know this sentence, right? She slowly closed her eyes, as if she wanted to fall asleep, "'God was so jealous of her, so he took her away'." (Note 2.) )

"Shut up, Sister Bi."

A low voice cut off the senior sister's words. There was an emotion called anger in that voice.

As a father and son, he is actually the same as his father. Mitsuki Kaihara rarely gets angry, but because of this, once he gets angry, even he feels terrible.

This was probably the first time that Haiyuan had spoken to this senior sister like this, and he didn't even look at Yan Bi again.

For what? He wasn't too clear.

But there was one thing, he thought, perhaps.

Because Ji Yanbi pointed out the true feelings hidden in his heart.

That's the real decisive emotion that hides behind the anger.

That is also the most primitive emotion of human beings.

This feeling is called "fear".

Haiyuan knows very well where this affection comes from.

That's because of my sister.

Beautiful sister, gentle sister, smart sister, well-behaved sister, sister who is loved by everyone......

It's perfect, so perfect that it's unsettling.

What is impossible for a mortal to have, she has almost all of it.

People can't help but worry, worrying about whether God will really allow such a girl to exist forever.

As soon as he thought of this, Mitsuki Kaihara felt a wave of uncontrollable fear.

He doesn't have any prophetic abilities, and even the ones that he does not have can fully understand the future. It was just a pretty bad feeling, but this frightening feeling seemed to sink deep into the bone marrow and linger.

The reason why he is extremely unwilling is that he can't do anything about it.

If there is anything that his sister can't do, then he can't do it himself.

At no time could he protect her.

That's right, this is what Mitsuki Haihara really cares about and really fears.

The more he thought about it, the clearer he realized this. His relationship with his sister has become estranged these days, and here's why.

The reason why he was angry with Yan Bi was only because Yan Bi saw this, and that's it.

It's ugly.

He couldn't help but want to scold himself.

Looking at his back, Ji Yanbi smiled softly.

As her name suggests, it is reminiscent of a green smile.

She stopped, not at all trying to follow.

"Come on, brother."

She spoke softly in a voice that only she could hear. Full of gentleness, steadiness and sincerity, just like she usually does.

She knew very well what kind of person her junior was.

Even if he encounters setbacks, even if he encounters difficult situations, he will definitely climb out of them in the end. And, with his own strength, he continued to move forward step by step.

Yes, although he is not a man beyond the mundane, as long as he is willing to believe in him, he will become strong.

He's such a person. There is no resemblance to himself or most people.

_

Why, can Yanbi be so convinced that Mitsuki Haihara is lying?

That's because it's not and can't be Haihara Mitsuki who is really jealous.

Mitsuki Umihara may have made a fatal error of judgment.

Indeed, perhaps no one will be jealous of the dome himself, or even the conditions of jealousy will be difficult to meet.

But it's not just the person who can be envied.

So, the question now is -

Who could that person be?

(The above part of the original text is set to be hidden in white, that is, it must be selected to be visible)

_

Why, isn't he his own brother?

If I had an older brother like this, maybe many things would be different, right?

But this kind of thing is really impossible.

Ah, why is that......

Why?

"'Be sensible, Fermi, we're talking about Einstein and Bohr.' …… Hehe...... Hehehe......" (Note 3)

She muttered to herself.

Not directed at anyone, she just smiled softly, creepy.

(The last three sentences of this paragraph are originally set to be hidden in white and white)

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

The annotations for this chapter are done by both the author and the uploader.

Note 1: This quote comes from a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton about John von Neumann (John_Von_Neumann). There is also a story about this evaluation. At that time, Neumann's friend, the famous physicist and one of the founders of quantum field theory, Jurgin Wegener, was pondering a question that had been inconclusive for weeks (some versions say a month or even three months). Neumann was visiting his house when Wegener complained about his old friend. And what is Neumann doing at this time? He was in a daze. After half an hour of stupefiing, he told Wegener the answer to the question that had been bothering Wegener for a long time. Of course, the workers at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton used "he", and here Haiyuan's father changed it.

Note 2: This quote by Helmholtz was used by Helmholtz to evaluate Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (Heinrich_Rudolf_Hertz). It's hard to imagine such a genius in the world. It is said that when he was in middle school, a fairly famous mathematician suggested that he study mathematics on the grounds that he had never met such a gifted student. Later, he learned Arabic, and the scholar who came to teach him only a few weeks said that he had nothing left to teach him, and predicted that Hertz would become the greatest expert on Arabic culture. Even after Hertz became a famous physics master, a master carpenter at the time sighed, "It's a pity, I've never seen him such a good carpenter."

Hertz died of septicaemia at the age of 37, just in the prime of life as a physicist. In his short life, he brought electromagnetic radiation, the photoelectric effect, hertz exposure, and so on to us humans. Today, in the information age, we feel the light of Hertz almost all the time.

Perhaps, as Helmholtz put it, "God was so jealous of him that he took him away." ”

Note 3: The "copyright" of this sentence belongs to a great figure who is somewhat similar to Hertz - Ettore Majorana (Ettore_Majorana). He is probably a genius and a mysterious figure in the history of physics. What a great man this genius is, I think it can be illustrated by a story like this.

At one point, a man was calculating neutron lifetime, and Majorana just sat on the sidelines. The man counted on the blackboard for a long time, and then told Majorana that he had the answer. Majorana asked rhetorically, "Fifteen minutes, right?" ”。 The friend, who had easily figured out the answer, threw the chalk on the ground on the spot and walked away without looking back, which was too big a blow. So, who is this person? When the United States exploded its first experimental atomic bomb, this man was far away. When the shock wave came, he threw a piece of paper into the sky, and then calculated the atomic bomb yield from this paper. That's right, this person is the famous Enrique Fermi.

The last thing she muttered was a conversation between Fermi and Majorana. At that time, Majorana said that Newton would produce one character in 500 years, while Einstein and Bohr would produce two in about 100 years. So Fermi asked, what about himself? Majorana glanced at him and said, "Be sensible, Fermi." We're talking about Einstein and Bohr. ”

Majorana's achievements are very remarkable, for example, the neutron was actually discovered by Majorana, the theory of strong nuclear force was also the first to be proposed by him, and even the real discoverer of the non-conservation of the universe was he (but only a discovery and not a proof). Majorana was also an important contributor to neutrino theory – it is important to note that Majorana's neutrino theory was only an appendix to another of his unfinished grand theories. And this unfinished theory of his is now known as the "Great Unification Theory". Unfortunately, all of his notes were lost in World War II, and we don't have the opportunity to see the true body of his theories.

In fact, many discoveries in physics were made by Majorana, but he had the strange problem of not being enthusiastic about publishing papers at all. Including the neutron mentioned earlier, it was because he did not express his own opinion that he was preempted by others. And judging by his performance towards Fermi, he really doesn't care about all of this, and it's very similar to Hertz in this respect.

Majorana also famously tells the story of the day when he suddenly uttered the phrase: "We have gone astray, and so will physics", and he refuses to explain the meaning of this phrase. At the time, many people didn't understand what he meant. It wasn't until later, after the Fermi group missed two great achievements in quick succession, that the Fermi group suddenly woke up to the meaning of the first half of his sentence. At the same time, humanity all over the world understood the meaning of the second half of his words. These two achievements are nuclear fission and chain reaction. All of Majorana's unpublished notes have since disappeared mysteriously, most likely because of this. Fermi once said that Majorana was on the same level as Newton, and not for nothing.

At the age of 32, Majorana mysteriously disappeared and was never seen again, which became a famous mystery in the history of physics. At that time, he had only been engaged in physics research for about five years.

Perhaps, this is another story of "God was so jealous of him that he took him away".

Ps uploaded by: How to put it, when I got this chapter, I was still reading it very ordinary, and I didn't even notice that there seemed to be a blank line in the middle. It wasn't until I selected the full text for the sake of publishing the article that I found out that the author was still playing a trick with hidden mysteries. It's a shame that the starting point doesn't have such an effect.
