Chapter 109: Flying Arrow

Robert blinked, trying to restrain himself from turning his head to look at Marshall, because this action was tantamount to telling the two in front of him that they were lying, "Uh, my idea is...... There are countless moments between each moment and the next, and the infinite number of moments cannot be added...... So there was a problem from the beginning, because it couldn't be divided like that at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After saying that, Robert wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he vaguely remembered that Marshall had said something similar.

"Really? That makes sense. David nodded.

"But why? Isn't the sum of countless zeros still zeros? Paimon frowned.

He was asking this question as much as Robert and Marshall.

"There is a prerequisite for this paradox. The arrow has a definite position in an instant, and occupies a space the same size as its own volume, so the arrow is not moving at this moment, and this is not true at all. Marshall crossed his hands in front of him, "Let me explain briefly, Captain David and First Officer Paimon should have done math problems, and in the division operation, there is a rule that zero cannot be used as a divisor, do you know why?" ”

David thought for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't quite know.

"Because division is the inverse of multiplication." Paimon didn't say much, but he already answered Marshall's question.

"Yes, exactly, so a provision has been added to the division operation to ensure the correct use of division. We can apply this to the problem we are discussing now, suppose the arrow flies one meter, and now we record the time of each moment as zero, so that if the arrow is going to fly one meter away, then the distance that the arrow travels in each instant will be ......"

At this point, Marshall paused, waiting for Paimon's answer.

Paimon opened his mouth, trying to follow Marshall's meaning, but stopped when it came to his lips.

"Go on, Father Marshall." David coughed lightly.

"So, there must have been a rule in the world we live in, maybe a joke on the part of the Lord, in short, it's a very interesting idea." Marshall paused at this point, "Since it is not possible to issue a decree prohibiting this division, it is better to stipulate it as such, and the time is ...... It cannot be divided indefinitely, and like human beings, time has a minimum unit, but this unit is much smaller than all our measuring instruments can measure! ”

"In this way, the paradox of immobility of the flying arrow is automatically lifted, because the hypothetical condition does not exist at all, and theoretically in that instant, there is no concept of 'movement' at all, because time does not exist, and the concept of movement and immobility is relative, since there is no movement, there is no such thing as immobility, therefore, the addition of countless immobility becomes the condition for the establishment of movement at all."

At this point, with a bang, David fell to the ground, and he looked at Marshall with a horrified expression.

Paimon and Robert's faces were a little better, but at this time, Marshall's eyes were still very strange, as if they were looking at monsters.

"Yes...... But why ......" Paimon clenched his hands into fists hard, and the expression on his face made people suspect that he would smash his fist on Marshall's face in the next second.

"Haha." Marshall smiled, "It's just a guess, Paimon, you don't have to care so much, just think it's a crazy man's imagination." "At this moment, Marshall didn't want to get into an argument, and now that there were enough dangers on the Blue Pearl, he didn't want to add to his own risks.

In this case, if the body is injured, it may have an unpredictable impact on the subsequent action.

"No, you continue." Hearing Marshall's words, Paimon also realized that he was a little out of shape at this time, so he released his clenched fist and took a few deep breaths, "Actually, it's interesting to listen to your conjecture Father Marshall. ”

Captain David also sat back in his place, because Marshall's words were too abrupt for him to accept for a while, obviously, as can be seen from his somewhat confused expression at this time, he did not accept it at this time.

"As I get older, I feel like the world is getting crazier and crazier." David shook his head, trying to get what Marshall had just said out of his mind.

"I don't think we're going to talk about it." Robert said awkwardly.

"Please continue, Father Marshall, I am really interested in what you just said." Paimon's eyes lit up, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Marshall thought for a moment and continued: "If time has a minimum unit, doesn't that also illustrate another problem? ”

"What's the problem?" Robert was also a little curious.

"Just like us, if you want to live, you have to eat, you have to breathe, and with these functions you can say that you are a person, so you must have organs such as stomach and lungs, so ...... Does the fact that time has the smallest unit mean that time also depends on something to exist? Time is not isolated...... It also has what it needs......"

Marshall watched the trio warily, ready to flee at any moment.

"Hehehe, how is it possible!" David's hearty smile echoed through the room.

The other two also laughed, and Marshall saw that there was something wrong with the expressions of the three of them, so he didn't continue, but chose to laugh with the three of them.

Among them, Robert didn't eat breakfast because he vomited, and laughing at this time actually made his stomach start to hurt.

Seeing this, the three of them hurriedly sent him to the lounge.

The Blue Pearl also had a doctor on board, named Edward, but his medical skills were average, much worse than Dr. Hunter, who treated Father Hall, but for a minor illness like Robert, he didn't need any medical skills.

"Just rest for a while and pay attention to your eating habits." Edward was a bit older and had a somewhat high hairline.

Looking at the departing Edward, David and Paimon, Marshall breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to use some advanced ideas to hide what I did last night, but ......," Marshall thought of Jenny's parents and Jenny, "the children in the bilge are still normal, and what happened to the three of Jenny is the real danger." Jenny's parents' death is exactly the same as Lev's, but unlike Lev, Jenny's parents don't know anything at all, and the possibility of killing them is very small, so it should be something else. ”

"How are you?" Marshall asked Robert, who was resting on his bed.

"It's fine." Robert shook his head, he was in very good health, and the disease could have recovered after a little rest for one to two hours.

"I'll go to Jenny's first." Marshall said.
