"Joke!" Solon shouted angrily, "That's your answer? ”

"No, it's not." An Xin said with an embarrassed face, "I'm just, just telling a joke to liven up the atmosphere." ”

"I don't need to." Solon said mockingly, "If you don't want to be a joke, you'd better tell me the answer right away." ”

"Okay, okay." An Xin kept rubbing his long hair.

"Say, why is this happening?"

"Because, because ......" Anxin felt like a person who was about to fall off a cliff, but at this moment he suddenly found a vine that he could grasp!

"Because space is indivisible." An Xin said silently with an expression that seemed to be sent back to the shore by the waves.

"What, what?" This time it was the turn of the great mentor Solon, who was taken aback, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I'm saying that space can't be divided indefinitely?" Confidence returned to the face of peace of mind.

"What does that mean?"

"The reason why people can't catch up with the turtle is because of this distance." "Suppose a person is ten times faster than a tortoise, and the distance between the two is one meter. When the person runs out of 1 meter, the turtle will move forward by 0.1 meters, and the distance between the two will change from 1 meter to 0.1 meters. ”

"Say some nonsense that is taken for granted." Solon sarcastically said.

But at the moment, he was unmoved, and he was very confident in the unique insight he had just come up with. Although the veracity of this opinion is questionable, it is still a great hope to coax a person from 2,800 years ago!

And so on, the distance decreases tenfold tenfold, from 0.1 meters to 0.01 meters, and from 0.01 meters to 0.001 meters. But this distance is always there and cannot be erased. An Xin said with a shake of a finger.

"That's right." Solon spread his hands and said, "How can the paradox be solved?" ”

"What if space can't be divided infinitely like this?"

"What?"

"The premise of this problem is that we default to the infinite division of space!" An An said loudly, "That is, the distance between a person and a turtle can be divided into infinitesimal parts. We can arbitrarily add an infinite number of zeros to the decimal point without any liability! ”

"Jokes?" The great mentor Solon frowned and said, "Isn't that so? An infinite number of zeros could have been added to the decimal point, and it is not impossible to write from here all the way to the end of the earth, so what is the responsibility? ”

"Nope." An Xin shook his finger and said, "That's not the case. ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not!"

"Why not?" Solon's eyes were fixed on Anxin.

"Do you believe that everything in this world is made up of a single basic particle?" Anxin asked tentatively.

"Of course I do." "The idea is very popular in this part of the Aegean. ”

"You believe it's going to be easy!" Anxin said loudly.

"What did you say?"

"I mean, if you believe in this theory, then it's easy to explain below." An Xin hurriedly said.

"Hmph, of course I do. By the way, this theory was first proposed by me Solon! ”

"Huh?"

"Although the public believes that the world is composed of the so-called four elements, namely the water element, the fire element, the earth element, and the air element, these four elements can be transformed into each other, so I think there is a more basic and primitive element within the four elements, and this element is the foundation of the world!"

"Awesome, awesome!" Anxin sincerely admired.

The world is made up of the most basic particle, and the search for this most basic particle has been a constant pursuit of physicists throughout the ages. Fast forward to 2237, and theoretical physics has advanced rapidly, and people have successfully slipped protons and separated quarks, but the most elementary particles are still nowhere to be found.

But the search never stops, perhaps the root of this persistence comes from the early sages of mankind?

"Passing the prize." Solon, one of the sages, said loudly.

"As you guessed, what if the world was made up of one of the most basic elements?" Anxin asked.

"What will happen?" Solon thought for a moment and said, "Not really. The world still has vast seas, towering mountains, endless forests and grasslands, and deserts that are uninhabited. People have lived on this earth for generations, living happy and sad days. Time is short, and in the blink of an eye, a group of people turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared. And those teenagers who ran barefoot with snot grew up and took the place of their ancestors. Whether there is one or the most basic element in the world, the life that evolves from this element is always like this. ”

"It's, it's so exciting." Anxin was a little fascinated by what he heard.

In terms of the structure of knowledge, or in other words, in terms of knowing things, I think that I have much more than Solon. After all, I am from the 23rd century, and I can say that I have stood on the shoulders of countless giants without paying attention. But my understanding of this world is by no means as profound as that of this person 2,008 years ago!

That is to say, the breadth of knowledge has been developing with the times, but the depth of looking at everything in the world has not?

"That's a must!" The great teacher Solon said proudly, as if he had never known what modesty was.

Anxin actually likes this kind of character?

Originally, humility is not necessarily a virtue. It's just that modesty is whitewashed as a virtue in the East, which for many years suppresses the individuality of most people and gives them the opportunity for deformed development. It is even more ridiculous that modesty makes people progress, only personality and sharpness can make people progress, and modesty is nothing more than adding a so-called virtue to stupid people.

Of course, this is just Wang Anxin's personal opinion.

"Let's go back to the tortoise." An Xin said slowly, "If this world is really made up of the most elementary particles, then this particle must be indivisible, right?" ”

"Of course, what is the most elementary particle if it can be divided?"

"So, can space, or distance, also be made up of this most elementary particle?"

"Of course......" As soon as the words came out, the great teacher Solon fell silent, and his bearded face began to solemnize.

Anxin knew that he gradually understood what he meant.

"If everything in the world is made up of one of the most frugal elements, then this seemingly endless earth is actually in a state of fragmentation?" Solon began to talk to himself.

Peace of mind is waiting patiently.

"No matter how subtle it is, but this land is also made up of one element after another, and the length of this basic particle is the minimum of the length of this world?" Solon began to stroke his beard, "After all, this particle can no longer be divided. So, the problem with chasing turtles is here? ”

"Yes." An Xin nodded and said, "That's how I understand it, distance cannot be divided indefinitely, and when the distance between a person and a turtle reaches that minimum, the person will immediately catch up with the turtle." Because in the next moment, a person can easily move a minimum unit, but a turtle cannot. Because the turtle is only one-tenth the speed of a human, and at this time there is no room for the turtle to continue dividing, it can only move one basic unit, or just do not move. It's like going up a staircase, you can take three stools at once, you can walk one stool at a time, but you just can't walk half a stool. ”

"It's kind of interesting." Solon said appreciatively, "It makes perfect sense logically! ”

"It's just my own thoughts," Anxin said, "and it's hard to say whether that's the case or not." ”

"It must be so!" Solon exclaimed, "We all know that in reality people can catch up with turtles, even your two little short legs!" ”

"Small, short-legged?"

"But when it comes to logic, it becomes that people can never catch up with the turtle, and the logical deduction conflicts with reality, so there must be something wrong in the process of deduction." "I've been wondering what went wrong all these years? Now that I finally understand, the problem lies in this infinite division. As long as it is clear that there is a minimum value of the distance that cannot be redivided, all problems are solved! ”

"Yes, yes." Anxin hurriedly nodded yes.

In fact, Anxin knows that this problem has been solved by mathematicians with rigorous methods, but his own explanation is not bad?

Although I didn't give a real answer to the question, I just drew a circle on the question stem and told the other person that it was not right to think so. This is equivalent to telling the questioner out loud that the question is wrong when doing the question, and doing everything in his power to make the questioner believe it. If you eliminate this question first, you will naturally not need to give an answer.

"You're wise." The Great Mentor Solon said suddenly.

"Where, where." Peace of mind is embarrassed.

It's amazing to be praised by an ancient sage who seems to have come out of a legend!

"Now, I'm going to tell you something special." Solon suddenly became serious.

Anxin immediately sat upright and pricked up his ears.

"My teacher once told me something incredible." Solon said as he played with the antique vase in the center of the table.

"Atlantis is trapped in an unknown world by a huge force, but there is still a way to enter that world."

"What, what?" Anxin couldn't believe his ears.

"Maybe it's God's will, maybe it's the way the Atlanteans saved themselves, there has always been a strange legend in the ancient Mediterranean," Solon said as he took out the small flower from the vase, and then shook it in front of Anxin, "As long as you collect seven seven-colored flowers made of Great Western Stone, you will be able to open the door of time and space and enter the real Atlantis!" ”
