Chapter 285: The Principle of Human Existence and the Idealistic World

The great stagnation of physics does not mean that there will be any improvement just because they are a new human civilization. You must know that everything that people have at present is still eating the old book of the earth's civilization!

The information obtained from the Gliese civilization is still mostly mathematical knowledge. Mathematics knowledge is indeed useful where it can be used, and where it is not used, it can only be regarded as an elegant and interesting art for a while.

The Gliese civilization has not even seen a hadron collider, and its achievements in physics are not as good as those of humans......

Zhang Yuan asked again: "So, is there any other way than to build with physics?" ”

"Yes, definitely." Yamamoto frowned, organizing his own language.

"There is a saying within us that we abandon physics and rely on the cognition of intelligent life itself to construct an empirical world......"

"Empiricism? How so? ”

Yamamoto explains: "It is a kind of ...... based on the principle of human existence Idealistic world! ”

The 20th-century scientist Stephen Hawking mentioned the concept of the "principle of human existence" in his book, which is explained as: The reason why we see the universe is the way it is because if it were not like this, we would not be here to observe it.

"The principle of human existence tells us that our understanding and description of the universe have our unique cognitive ability. The reason we see the universe as it is because if it weren't for that, we wouldn't be here to observe it, and we wouldn't be asking the question......"

What does that mean?

To put it simply, it is precisely because of the existence of life that the universe is what this life knows, at least in part.

The so-called principle of human existence has a kind of idealistic color, and there are not too many scientists who agree with it. But if you build a virtual world according to this concept, it will be a completely different structure.

Zhang Yuan interrupted his tirade: "Professor Yamamoto, you can directly tell me the construction principle of the idealistic world, and you don't need to explain so many ......"

Ichiro Yamamoto paused, "This method was proposed by a young man named Cheng Jie in the Unreal Lab. ”

“…… This school of thought believes that the physical rules in the virtual world of 13 operate in the way we have set, and that the whole world chooses to accommodate life. ”

"It's equivalent to designing the bottom building blocks first...... Then layer by layer, the whole world is stacked with building blocks. This is also the most common scientific method. ”

"But human wisdom cannot be perfect. Without reaching the ultimate truth, there will always be some contradictions. ”

"So we can try to do it another way...... In other words, the cognition of countless intelligent beings is used to construct the entire virtual world! ”

Yamamoto sent a series of images on the screen, including some flowers and plants, physics and mathematics, mechanical devices, planets, stars, and so on. "The cognition of intelligent life is already an almost complete world view, as for the underlying building blocks, what is the shape of the microcosm, it doesn't matter at all to the life in the virtual world......"

Cognition of intelligent life?

Zhang Yuan was slightly surprised, as if he had lost something.

“…… Memory is equivalent to the cognition of the whole world by intelligent life. The core of a digital life has two parts, the first part is self-awareness; The second part is memory. The so-called eating, drinking, and lazing are nothing more than rules and regulations under physical rules...... If the physical rules are replaced, in the virtual world, there is actually no need to eat, drink and lazar. ”

Of course, there is no need to eat, drink, and Lazar, which is contrary to the perception of life itself. Such a world will have the problem of self-awareness, memory and rule mismatch, so in this virtual world, there are many bugs in operation, and digital life is able to survive. ”

"If a special algorithm is used to add up the cognition of 100 million or even a billion intelligent lifeforms, can we form a world that is almost the same as the real world? These are the whole cognitions of intelligent life, which are ......"

"One world, the real rules!"

"So, we scientists don't need to design the rules ourselves, it's too difficult."

Zhang Yuan's pupils dilated slightly, this method ...... Empiricism, idealistic world!

Well, this principle sounds very strange, but it seems to make some sense.

It is true that there will be huge deviations in a person's understanding of the entire universe, some fools insist on believing in the "flat theory", some people insist that the "general theory of relativity" is wrong, and some people want to invent the so-called "perpetual motion machine...... But such people are always in the minority.

If the cognition of 100 million people is superimposed, everyone knows that life needs food, and most people agree that energy is conserved. Then, the world will evolve as most people know, not a few people know.

Of course, the cognition of life alone will still be insufficient, and human beings still have to try to complete some of the implicit structures.

What a group of ghosts!

Zhang Yuanluo said a little excitedly: "You must know that people's cognition will change with the times...... What if most people believe in the existence of gods? What if most people believed in magic, perpetual motion machines? ”

"No problem." Yamamoto replied, "The world will be as they perceive it, with gods, perpetual motion machines...... Well, something inexplicable, but don't you find it interesting? ”

"Also, where do the large quantities of intelligent life come from? The Gliezers? Those drugged guys are paranoid...... Wouldn't the world be weird? Humans can't do it for the time being! ”

"Mr. Zhang, these problems are the focus of research, but they are not unsolvable...... It just takes a special algorithm to summarize these cognitions. ”

"Although there are a lot of bugs in the world constructed by experience, its own compatibility will also become better, and the whole world will evolve!"

"The more intelligent life that can be accommodated, the more complete the world will be!"

“…… Any fantasy world, immortal cultivation world, and mysterious world may be constructed...... It's hard to imagine what will happen, and the world we will create will greatly exceed the limits of our imagination! ”

Gradually, the more Yamamoto spoke, the more fanatical he became, the more excited he became, and his face swollen like a red balloon, as if it could be punctured with a needle.

Zhang Yuan was silent for a while: "The idea is very good, you can try it...... As for the question of collecting memories, the memories of the Gliese people can be considered, but be careful, if they are known, it can easily lead to diplomatic accidents. ”

"The elite of this planet is gone, and the rest of the population may be even more difficult to get along with......"

"Understood, we'll be careful."

After this conversation, Yamamoto left in a hurry, and the study of the entire virtual world seemed to have opened a new era!
