Diary of an Exile (1)
A century ago, in 2233, the Indian scholar Mohan Bordeaux was on fire.
A drunken conversation made him the focus of the world's attention.
In just a few words, it became a global sensation in the following week.
That is the theory of the fall of the moon, also known as the theory of the destruction of the earth by the moon.
Just by listening to the name, you should be able to understand that this is the moon is about to fall and hit the earth.
India in 2233 is still backward compared to many developed countries, especially some remote cities do not even have the appearance of cities.
The Indian Mohan Bordeaux scholar lives in the East Hasi Hills of Meghalaya, India's most remote city, which is considered the most beautiful village in India. Situated on the plateau of Scotland, often referred to as India, Mohan Bordeaux is a native.
Mohan Bordeaux spent ten years on the moon on a decade-long time-lapse on a near-obsolete Sony digital camera. The trajectory of the moon was recorded as a data support, and the theory of the moon's fall was derived from this and a full 378 pages of calculations.
In layman's terms, the Earth's gravitational pull on the Moon is increasing at an invisible rate, like a balloon being blown up.
Nothing happens until the balloon explodes, but it does happen when it explodes instantaneously and then ceases to exist.
Morhan Bordeaux, on the other hand, said that he had calculated the magnitude of this strengthening of the Earth, and determined that the moon would suddenly set on any day within a century at most.
Mohan Bordeaux, who was questioned again after sobering up, summarized his findings again and got a more accurate statement.
It's like two parallel magnets. It is very normal and calm when it is not in contact with the magnetic force, but after entering a critical point, it will suddenly collide with each other.
If this day does come, the Moon will hit the Earth in 6 seconds at a speed of 63,000 kilometers per second.
This conclusion undoubtedly proclaimed the end of the world, and within twenty-four hours the story of Mohan Bordeaux spread throughout India from remote towns and villages.
When the news came to the more developed cities, it soon entered the network around the world from the Internet.
The apocalyptic narrative first flooded India, and was later reported by young people and all kinds of news media.
In the end, it was maliciously hyped by media platforms and entertainment programs around the world, and spread all over the world almost within 48 hours.
The whole world is looking for the discoverer of the theory of the fall of the moon, that is, Mohan Bordeaux. When the local media and tourists approached him for beating, he himself was obviously confused. I just drank too much, and I never thought that it would spread from the village to the outside of the village or even to the world.
Mohan Bordeaux said that his data was not finished, but there was no doubt that the moon would crash into the Earth.
When the media asked Mohan Bordeaux to say some details about the impact of the moon on Earth, Mohan Bordeaux said that it had not happened yet and that he did not know what would happen.
When asked by the media if there would be an end of the world, Mohan Bordeaux just shook his head.
When the media felt that they had been deceived, Mohan Bordeaux pulled out a 387-page manuscript from his small room.
It is densely packed with calculations and notes, which makes the media convinced.
