"The name of this project is Explorer," Chen Tianxing said, "is a little exploration of the origin of our world." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hiss~" I was shocked when I heard this, and I couldn't help but gasp, remembering the mural I saw in the underground palace called "The Origin of the World", but then I said suspiciously, "Aren't you who are engaged in scientific research projects supposed to advocate science and believe in such ethereal things?" ”

I remember that this kid was a scientific madman when he was a child, yes, the origin, these mysterious things have always been scoffed at.

"Second brother's words are wrong," Chen Tianxing did not answer me directly, but asked, "Do you know what science is?" ”

"It's simple," I smiled, took out my phone and opened Baidu, and found the definition of science, "The eternal, universal, and unique nature of civilization is science." ”

"And do you know what the rules are?"

"Rules are the laws that follow the rules of operation and operation."

"Yes," Chen Tianxing said, "the rule is the law of all the operation in the world, that is, the Tao, and this point has been proposed by thinkers thousands of years ago that all things in heaven and earth are born from the Tao, which is the origin of everything, the highest criterion, that is, the ultimate truth." ”

"It can be seen that there is no difference between science and Tao in essence," Chen Tianxing continued, "In fact, science itself originated from ancient philosophy, and the ultimate goal of science is to answer all questions reasonably and positively, but science is always one infinitesimal difference from successfully explaining the emergence of subjectivity." ”

"But is the science necessarily right?" Chen Tianxing's question made me ponder, if it was before, I would definitely answer yes without thinking, but now I have experienced too many things that cannot be explained by science.

"The development of science itself is a process of overturning and doubting, just as Copernicus overturned geocentrism, inertial and non-inertial systems," Chen Tianxing said. ”

"But all the hypotheses we put forward and all the conclusions we draw are, in the final analysis, from what we have seen and what we have obtained from experiments, but are these things really reliable, even the most basic mathematical laws such as 1+1=2 cannot be proven, and the conclusions obtained during the experiment are more likely to be in the opposite direction," Chen Tianxing took a sip of wine, "For example, a biologist studies grasshoppers, he claps his hands, and the grasshoppers jump, but after he removes the grasshopper's legs, he claps his hands again, and the grasshoppers stop jumping. So he came to the conclusion that the ears of grasshoppers are on the legs, and you say that is right? ”

I almost squirted out a sip of wine, Chen Tianxing is like that, even if you talk about these boring things, you won't get bored, because he always gives some very strange examples to make you laugh.

"We always laugh at the gods and ghosts that the ancients said, saying that they are superstitious," and when I finished laughing, Chen Tianxing said again, "but have you ever thought that maybe their rules at that time were different from ours?" If in another system, 1+1 is no longer equal to two, energy is no longer conserved, and time is no longer symmetrical, then does our science still exist? ”

His words made my back feel cold, and I suddenly remembered what Fu Xi said to me in my dream that day, science, does science really exist?

"Maybe one day in the future, our science will be regarded as a ridiculous superstition by our children and grandchildren?" The more Chen Tianxing spoke, the more excited he became, "There are clouds in the Tao Te Ching: man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. But is nature really nature? ”

"What do you mean?" I don't understand why he's saying this.

"Have you read the book "The Three-Body Problem"?"

"Well, I've watched it three times." I nodded, this is indeed a rare book.

"You should know the theory of the shooter and the farmer." Chen Tianxing asked, and I nodded.

The "shooter" hypothesis: there is a sharpshooter who makes holes in a target every ten centimeters.

Imagine that the plane of this target lives a two-dimensional intelligent being, and the scientists in them, after observing their own universe, discovered a great law: "The universe must have a hole every ten centimeters." ”

They see the whims of this sharpshooter as an iron law in their own universe.

The "farmer hypothesis" has a disturbing layer of horror: a farm has a flock of turkeys that the farmer comes to feed them every day at 11 o'clock at noon. A scientist in Turkey observed this phenomenon for nearly a year, without exception, and discovered the great law of its own universe: "Every morning at eleven o'clock in the morning, food comes." ”

It announced this law to the turkeys on Thanksgiving morning, but at eleven o'clock that morning the food did not arrive, and the farmer came in and killed them all.

"Then our rules, will they be some existence that we can't understand, rising up?" Chen Tianxing's mouth was like a cannon, and I was stunned when he said, "Do rules really exist, and are there really any universal laws in the universe?" Perhaps the origin of matter is chaos and disorder, the so-called stability and order of the world, the so-called laws of the universe and even the laws of mathematics are just a brief moment in a corner of the universe, just a fleeting whirlpool in the turbulence of chaos, chaos and nothingness are the masters of this world, nothingness produces everything, chaos swallows everything. ”

"And whether this chaos is part of a larger rule, whether this bigger rule is a brief moment of greater chaos, who can say?" Chen Tianxing sighed, "Moreover, many things in this world cannot be explained by science, at least the current science. ”

"For example, the theory of ghosts and gods?" I thought to myself, what I've been experiencing in the past few days can't be explained by science.

"And that's not all, for example, do you know the origin of the universe?"

"You know, the universe was formed by the expansion of a dense, fiery singularity after a big bang 13.7 billion years ago," I pondered, "and since then there has been time, and all sorts of matter." ”

"But do you know where the singularity before the universe came from, and why it exploded?" Chen Tianxing then asked, "Since energy is conserved and does not create or perish, where does the original energy come from?" ”

I shook my head, speechless.

"Why do rules exist, what is sacred about our rules, and by whom do they make them?" Chen Tianxing continued, "This is like a long chain, one ring after another, and it seems that there is no end to it, so you say, is there really anything in this world that is infinite and eternal?" ”

"What is existence?" Before I could take a breath, Chen Tianxing asked again.

"Yes...... It's existence. My mind was about to turn around, and instead of listening to his next question, I rushed to answer, "Existence is a state as opposed to non-existence." ”

"Yes, all things are born of being, and some are born of nothing, but where does nothing come from?" To be honest, I now have a kind of presence of standing up and pumping him in a chair, but I hold back and let him continue, "Is there another state besides being and not being?" ”

"What do you mean...... Schrödinger's cat? ”

"Yes, but it's much more than that," Chen Tianxing's next question made me almost faint, "two completely unrelated particles will interfere with each other, for example, we are going to launch particle A, the target is particle B, and the purpose is to interfere with particle B." However, particle B is already disturbed before it can be emitted. Moreover, this phenomenon turned out to be the same as the interference result after the launch. In other words, particle B felt the interference from particle A in advance, and why? ”

"Brother, I called you brother, you can spare me, my brain is really not suitable to talk about this." I arched my hand with a smile on my face.
