Chapter 769: The Black Box Hypothesis
In such a daze, all kinds of strange thoughts flooded into my mind, and all kinds of world problems that I usually couldn't understand surfaced one after another.
Suddenly, strange ideas popped up, and these problems were solved, and the whole person was like a god.
He even developed this kind of omniscient and omnipotent feeling after becoming a fifth-level civilization and being transformed by his mind...... All the puzzles have become very simple, and what you can't figure out now, will work out in the future with a thought.
In fact, it is a lucid dreaming state that does not sleep well, and it is nothing more than one's own dreams, commonly known as daydreaming.
If you wake up and recall these strange thoughts, you will find that they are completely bullshit, but when you dream about them, you will enshrine them as truth.
Of course, there are a very small number of whimsical ideas that actually work, and it is in a dream that the legendary Mendeleev found inspiration and tinkered with the periodic table. Chemist Kekuler also dreamed of the structure of benzene ring, which laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of organic chemicals and polymers......
Zhang Yuan has never had such good luck solving problems in his dreams.
It can be said that science today is no longer an inspiration, but a flash point that can be promoted...... It will most likely take ten, or even a hundred, of flashes to move forward that little!
After a period of confusion, he had a strange dream about the prediction mathematics that the Hicks civilization had shown him during the "Abel-Ring" exchange.
He will never forget that amazing feeling.
In the idea of the Gaia School, a mass of infinite speed outlines everything in the universe.
Human scientists once wanted to build a completely new set of physical models that were different from the current ones, an ambitious idea called "meta-electron theory", and the trajectory of the particle is the famous predictive mathematics.
Since the Gaia School believes that the truth of the universe is like this, then there should be no problem for human beings to think so, and boldly overturn the original physical model.
However, it was too difficult......
The premise of overthrowing the original edifice is to build a new edifice first, and then lay a foundation. This whole set of "meta-electronic theory" physical models is completely like a castle in the sky, ethereal and elusive.
People don't know how to build models, how to design experiments, and how to validate them, especially the most important mathematical tool, predictive mathematics, and with the current IQ of human beings, they simply don't know where to start.
Humans can't catch any clues about predictive mathematics......
Therefore, it can only be put on the shelf for the time being.
In this way, Zhang Yuan had a dream in a daze, human beings have perfected the "meta-electron theory", and can guess the trajectory of the so-called "meta-electron", even if it is only a delayed guess, all the current problems are no longer a problem......
That's perfect!
At that time, the human race will surpass the fifth-level civilization and become the sixth-level civilization, or even more powerful......
"Knock knock!"
As the last sound of the concert sounded, Zhang Yuan also woke up from his sleep, and he found that Lin Xuanxuan was still indulging in past memories and shook his head vigorously.
"Lately, I may have been overusing my brain and always having some weird daydreams. Whew......"
"The problem encountered in memory indoctrination, the ability of the fourth-level civilization is difficult to solve...... How should it be solved? ”
Suddenly, Zhang Yuan had a very strange point, as if a bubble suddenly exploded, and there was a feeling of sudden epiphany.
He remembered the "black box hypothesis" proposed by a certain scientist.
This hypothesis holds that a series of difficulties that people are currently facing are caused by the same black box, that is, the key problem of current physical theory: the further nature of the universe, randomness.
Quantum problems involve randomness, digital viruses involve randomness, the self-consciousness of intelligent life also involves randomness, and even the various unknown endings in the virtual world involve randomness.
In addition, with the deepening of research, people have found that whether it is physics or chemistry, all walks of life will encounter this difficulty after they develop to a certain limit: randomness.
The "black box hypothesis" holds that this series of problems is actually the same, that is, the randomness problem in the "meta-electron theory", and if one of the problems is solved, the latter series will be solved.
Why is virtual world technology so powerful?
The black box hypothesis holds that because these advanced civilizations use theories in the virtual world, it is likely that they simulate some key points in the "meta-electron theory", and the computer only needs to calculate a complex string of functions, and the significant digits after the decimal point are constantly accurate, and according to this string of functions, a virtual world is naturally generated.
If the real world is composed of the infinite motion of a particle, then the virtual world can naturally be the same.
In this virtual world, there is no need to simulate the so-called four basic forces, nor do you need to simulate physics, chemistry, or biology, and the world is a series of functions. As long as you keep computing that series of functions, it's the world.
Since this is true of the virtual world, self-awareness is even more so.
In the virtual world, the unknown number behind the running function represents randomness; Self-consciousness also represents randomness, and it is also a series of functions.
To a certain extent, the two are actually equivalent!
For example, some of the 13th idealistic worlds are outlined by the cognition of life. In essence, self-consciousness is part of the randomness of the universe, and all of them can outline and extend the idealistic world......
Therefore, the self-consciousness of life can be directly used as a function of the virtual world.
"I am part of the universe!"
It was a very crazy conjecture that caused a stir at the time. Many experts and scholars have participated in the vigorous discussion, thinking that they can crack part of the black box.
But over time, it became clear that this hypothesis was not very useful. The black box is still a black box, there is no possibility of cracking it, it just connects some unsolved mysteries together.
If a human can crack any of them, they will be able to crack a series of them. But unfortunately, after so many years, none of humanity can crack it. This inexplicable question, people simply do not know and thus start.
