Day 98 (2) Mathematical Explanations of Enlightenment and Epiphany

"Why did the Orion One ship disappear?" Tang Yue was taken aback, "Do you know the reason?" ”

"I don't know."

The old cat is very crisp.

"Didn't you say you came to your senses?"

"I'm enlightened." The old cat replied, "But I didn't realize it." ”

In the past three months, Tang Yue has discussed with the old cat more than once the reason for the disappearance of the earth, and they have put forward many hypotheses, but in the end they have all overturned - they really can't think of any reason to make a huge sphere with a mass of 60 trillion tons evaporate from the world, this supernatural phenomenon is completely beyond Tang Yue's imagination, and the physics currently mastered by human beings does not support this inference.

The most powerful weapon ever made by mankind is AN602, which also has a legendary nickname - Big Ivan, which is a 50 million tons of hydrogen bomb, which was detonated on the island of Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic Circle by the fierce Maozi during the Cold War, and when it exploded, it set off a 60-kilometer-high mushroom cloud, which is 10 times the total ammunition consumed during World War II.

Thermonuclear fusion is indeed the most powerful way of energy release that human beings can currently master, and physicists have liberated the power inside the atomic nucleus, which is a revolutionary progress, and human cognition and control of the world have reached a new level.

But the sun has been silently fusing there for five billion years,

On a large scale of the universe, fusion is all too common, and if Jupiter's mass were to increase by a factor of thirteen, its interior would also undergo deuterium fusion due to the huge gravitational pull, turning from a giant gas planet into a brown dwarf...... Humanity is far from powerful enough to shake the planet.

The disappearance of the earth cannot be done by human beings themselves, if human civilization had this ability, the earth would have exploded a hundred times a hundred times with the urine nature of human beings.

In the end, the old cat threw out two points of view.

One is a natural phenomenon.

You must know that the Milky Way and the solar system itself are also in motion, and if someone observes the solar system at an angle of rest relative to the outer space of the solar system, then the solar system is not a rotating disk, but a spiral that rotates forward.

The old cat said that there may be cases in the universe where the laws of physics are not conserved—seriously, it is really desperate to say such things that shake its worldview.

In case the laws of physics in the universe are not conserved everywhere, and space is not as flat as people think, and the earth is so unlucky that it accidentally fell into this pit.

Then the world evaporated.

The second is advanced wisdom.

So far, no other high-level intelligent beings have been discovered by humans – with the exception of chimpanzees on Earth.

But this does not mean that there are no other civilizations in the universe, although the Fermi paradox has not been solved, the old cat said that the earth is gone, and the Fermi paradox is a fart.

Can anyone explain the paradox of the disappearance of the earth?

Pushing everything to the alien civilization is actually very irresponsible, although there have been a lot of pots carried by aliens for hundreds of years, and they say that they did it when they draw a circle in the wheat field and build a stone statue on an isolated island, as if aliens like to play in the mud on the earth every day when they are idle, but aliens have never carried such a big pot - responsible for the demise of a planet and hundreds of millions of lives.

Look at this pot, it's big and round.

The Earth and the Moon disappeared together, and it is clear that everything within 380,000 kilometers of the Earth is missing, which includes 99.999 percent of the human existence, including all spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit in low earth orbit.

The old cat calculated, the only man-made objects left in the solar system at present, except for the Kunlun station on Mars, the United Space Station, the communication relay satellite and a bunch of retired old probes.

There are also the travelers and pioneers who flew out of sight, the new horizons beyond Pluto's orbit, Huygens on Titan, a bunch of gadgets thrown by the Soviets on Venus, Mariner Dawn, which ran out of energy and died in the middle of nowhere.

These are all the legacies that human civilization has left to the world.

None of them worked, the Traveler had probably flown into the Oort Cloud by this time, and in 70,000 years it would visit Proxima Centauri in the constellation Centauri, and the kid had not thought of coming back when he ran away from home.

It's frustrating to listen to.

But surprisingly, Orion One is also gone.

When the Earth disappeared, the Orion-1 spacecraft had just departed from the Mars United Space Station and entered the Earth-Fire Transfer Orbit, and it was still far away from the Earth.

In the first few days of the earth's disappearance, Tang Yue was still hopeful and tried to contact Orion One, and the captain Wang and they were all on the Orion One spaceship, and there were survivors and food supplies on the spaceship. But unfortunately, the moment the earth disappeared, Orion 1 also evaporated, and it was Mai Dong who discovered this first.

In the past three months, Tang Yue and the old cat have worked tirelessly to analyze the possible location of Orion One, and they will not let go of any possibility, hoping to find this spaceship, but then both of them gave up, and they had to admit that Orion One was indeed missing.

The old cat said that it was probably someone outside who shot at the solar system, killing two birds with one stone, and skewering the Orion spacecraft with the earth with a sugar gourd.

"Buddhism has gradual enlightenment and epiphany." The old cat said, "Gradual enlightenment is the consciousness of gradual progress, epiphany is the consciousness of rapid and direct entry, I am gradually enlightened, and at the same time, I have an epiphany, both prongedly, and the enlightenment is the possible reason for the disappearance of the Orion 1 spacecraft." ”

Tang Yue frowned.

"As a robot, how can you say such idealistic words? Aren't you afraid that Asimov will come to you in the middle of the night? ”

"It's not idealism, and for robots, there are also mathematical explanations for gradual enlightenment and epiphany." The old cat replied, "The so-called gradual enlightenment is the exhaustive method, which lists all the possibilities in the world one by one, such as using the exhaustive method to prove the Riemann conjecture, which is the gradual realization proof method of the Riemann conjecture." ”

"What about the epiphany?"

"Epiphany is the random method, for example, if you are given a number line, let you randomly poke on the number line to find rational numbers...... This is the epiphany selection method of rational numbers. ”

"What is the success rate of those two methods?" Tang Yue asked.

The old cat shook his head and was slow.

"Zero."

Tang Yue put on the Mingguang armor and was about to go out to check the Kunlun Station, unfolding the solar panels, he slowly unscrewed the hatch of the airlock chamber, and suddenly his feet were weak, and one foot fell to the ground.

"Tang Yue?" The old cat came over and helped him up, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Yue stood up against the wall, looked down at the floor, was stunned for a while, and shook his head, "No problem, I accidentally didn't stand firm just now." ”

The old cat patted his helmet mask, "Good Luck."

"Tang Yue, go and come back quickly." Mai Dong on the screen waved his hand.

Tang Yue gave a thumbs up and turned to get into the airlock.
