Chapter 55: The Relationship between Fiction and Reality
Professor Huang made a phone call and asked someone to arrange a debriefing meeting, and then pondered for a while before he seemed to find a way to solve the problem.
"Officer Lin, do you think Feng Shui is a science or a metaphysics?"
Lin Hai shook his head:
"I don't know, to be honest, I used to think that the essence of Feng Shui was metaphysics, mixed with some scientific content, but after reading the research report of you and your colleagues, I think Feng Shui is actually quite scientific."
Professor Huang smiled noncommittally and asked:
"Then what do you think is the world's ultimate secret for us intelligent beings?"
Lin Hai was stunned, and thought for a while before replying tentatively:
"Does the universe count? Or the soul? ”
Professor Huang smiled again when he heard this, nodded and said:
"Your guess is that one is science and the other is metaphysics, both of which are the most important research directions in their respective fields, but in my opinion, neither is the ultimate secret."
Lin Hai asked curiously:
"Then what does Professor Huang think is the ultimate secret?"
Professor Huang did not answer directly, but once again jumped away from the topic:
"For natural science, finding the fundamental laws of the operation of the universe has always been their highest goal, but they have consciously or unintentionally ignored a question, that is, where did the universe come from, if they have not even figured out the origin of the universe, wouldn't it be a joke to say that the fundamental laws of the operation of the universe are called!"
Lin Hai suddenly:
"Then you think the ultimate secret is the origin of the universe?"
"That's right, but this 'universe' is not the narrow universe we often say, but the broad universe that includes the soul, that is, the sum total of all material and spiritual existence."
Lin Hai nodded in understanding:
"Your point of view is very reasonable, and your definition of the universe is also very interesting."
"It's not what I said, I'm just picking up the wisdom of the ancients."
Lin Hai smiled slightly:
"So you mean Feng Shui has something to do with the origin of the universe?"
"Surely, everything in this world has something to do with the origin of the universe, but you can't speculate on the origin of the sea by studying a drop of water, right?"
"Then I don't understand, what does this feng shui have to do with the ultimate secret? Why did you choose this direction for your research? ”
Professor Huang glanced at Lin Hai and said with a strange expression:
"At first glance, you know that you are not a science student, and if you are a science student, you should immediately understand what I want to express."
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm indeed a liberal arts student, but you're a professor, so you shouldn't have discrimination in liberal arts and sciences, right?"
Professor Huang laughed:
"Of course not, although I have always insisted that I am a science major, many people think that I should actually be considered a liberal arts major, haha. What I just said is that the most important thing to do is to find the entry point, and the most common entry point is the 'anomaly'. ”
"Anomaly?"
"Yes, anomalies. The so-called anomaly is a phenomenon that cannot be correctly explained by existing theories, and since it cannot be explained, it means that there is something wrong with our existing theory, so it is possible to find a completely new theory that is closer to the truth by studying this anomaly. ”
Lin Hai nodded slowly:
"I see, but what does this have to do with Feng Shui? If we talk about anomalous phenomena, aren't metaphysics and occultism even more abnormal? ”
Professor Huang leaned forward unconsciously, and the flame of wisdom flashed in his eyes:
"That's right, that's really the most anomalous being, because evolution can't explain the appearance of souls at all, otherwise gorillas on Earth should have souls. However, there are so many people who study metaphysics and the occult that they have crossed the river, what can you see what they have studied? ”
Lin Hai blinked, and said in his heart that people have really researched something, although the research is only how to restore soul energy and strengthen the soul, and the key technologies are in the hands of aliens, but they are definitely closer to the so-called ultimate secret than Professor Huang in front of them.
"Are you trying to say they're looking for the wrong entry point?"
"Yes, they found the biggest anomaly, but this outlier contains too many unknown theories and variables to even be intuitively observed and studied, just like a group of kindergarten children trying to crack quantum mechanics."
Lin Hai suddenly:
"I understand that Feng Shui originates from metaphysics, but it is closely related to reality, and it also directly involves the question of the soul, which is a relatively easy interdisciplinary discipline to understand and study."
Professor Wong patted his right hand on the tabletop:
"Yes, your understanding is completely correct, Feng Shui is a magical intersection, Feng Shui's 'luck' is ethereal, and its influence effect also acts on the soul or spiritual level, which is also elusive, but the wonderful thing is that the effect of Feng Shui can be quantified and measured, although it is still difficult to quantify, but qualitative is not so difficult. You say, is such a wonderful entry point worth the effort to study? ”
Lin Hai was not affected by Professor Huang's slightly excited emotions, and just nodded lightly when he heard this:
"By qualitative, do you mean there and nothing, good and bad? I also saw the data you summarized in the previous report, and it is also very convincing to conduct a qualitative analysis using the simultaneous comparison of feng shui houses and ordinary houses and bad houses, but this is just a phenomenon, what is the essence behind the phenomenon? ”
Professor Huang glanced at Lin Hai deeply, leaned back, and smiled playfully:
"Officer Lin is worthy of being an elite from above, and he grasped the essence of the problem at once."
Lin Hai smiled, waved his hand and said:
"I fully understand Professor Huang's thoughts, in fact, you can rest assured that your research funding is absolutely guaranteed, as long as it is a reasonable fee, the above will not disapprove, as you just said, your research is related to the ultimate secret. Of course, if you could give me a more convincing answer to my question, then your request would have carried more weight, right? ”
Professor Huang's face became serious, and he would not underestimate the young liberal arts student in front of him at all now:
"You're right, those are just phenomena, and I'm more concerned with the essence behind them. Since the phenomenon has been produced and reproduced by us in a regular manner, it shows that Feng Shui itself is a law, at least a part of the law, but the results of Feng Shui research are the same as other academic studies of our ancestors, focusing on results and rarely tracing the principle, perhaps because it is too difficult to trace. ”
Lin Hai nodded:
"yes, it seems that they always like to boil it down to the black box of 'Heavenly Dao Operation'."
"Hehe, that's right, the way of heaven, the heavenly machine, the karma... Including the theory of luck in Feng Shui, etc., it is vague but effective, which is incompatible with current scientific theories. ”
"So you're trapped outside this vague black box too?"
"Since it's a black box, of course it's not that easy to open, but we can try to guess. Since Feng Shui is effective, does it mean that there is a force that we cannot understand, that is, the mysterious power in the black box, that exists behind the things we can observe? ”
Lin Hai nodded silently, and Professor Huang continued:
"Let's assume that there is such a force, it is not in the world we know, we can't find evidence of its existence by all means, but it is omnipresent, affecting the world all the time, including ourselves, then, what is the first thing that comes to mind after listening to my description?"
"Soul?"
"yes, you feel a little bit like a soul, or a psychic power, but it doesn't seem to fit perfectly. And we think that the reason why this mysterious power cannot be simply reduced to the soul is because this power does not reflect obvious tendencies and subjectivity, so we can see it as an energy similar to the soul attributes, of course, the description of energy may not be accurate, I want to say that this power is not self-conscious, simply following a certain law of things. ”
Lin Hai pouted secretly, isn't this definition soul energy! I have to say that this Professor Huang is really powerful, an ordinary person has discovered the existence of such a thing as soul energy.
According to the knowledge that Lin Hai dug from Black Cat and He Han, it seems that soul energy is the fundamental energy that supports the existence of the real world and the parallel world, and it is the mysterious energy that Professor Huang has painstakingly searched.
But then the problem comes, from the perspective of ordinary people, Professor Huang's research results are indeed amazing, and they deserve strong support from the state, but this kind of research results is really ridiculous in the eyes of the awakened, because this is common sense! In this case, why does the Institute for Cultural Strategy, which is controlled by the Awakened, support Professor Huang's research, and even spend a huge amount of money for the Awakened to observe and take away Professor Huang's research results?
There's something weird about this!
Lin Hai felt that he might have discovered an interesting secret.
Professor Huang glanced at Lin Hai, who was expressionless, and didn't know if he understood, so he continued directly:
"I think that this force underpins the whole world as we know it, both physically and spiritually, that is, this force is the basis of the existence of the universe, at least, as we can see it now. As for Feng Shui, it is just a poor way to try to influence and harness this power, but this power shows us its existence through Feng Shui, and it is through the in-depth study of Feng Shui that we want to find out the true relationship between this power and our world. ”
Lin Hai was stunned when he heard this, relationship? This word has come out of the mouth of another unfathomable person before, and the relationship that the bad-eyed beauty said is the relationship between the soul and the body, Feng Shui is the relationship between the soul energy and the material world, and the relationship between the soul energy and human beings, so the relationship between the body and the soul is... Cerebrum?!
No, no, it can't be so narrow, because it should be the medium through which the soul acts on the body, it may be cells, hormones, or bioelectromagnetic waves or something like that, anyway, there must be such a medium, which builds a bridge between the physical body and the soul.
That's right, Lin Hai felt as if he had discovered an extremely important secret!
