199, the high-dimensional world (14th update)
The ancient master broke through the heavens with one word, and Luo Xiu was like an enlightenment.
Jenma's ability to gain divine power was accompanied by whispers in her ears - which Luo Xiu had mistaken for the Asgardian race, the provider of the divine blood, but now it appears that these whispers came from thirsters from other dimensions who were trying to establish a pact with Jinma.
"So Zhenma awakened her abilities and became the object of admiration of wizards in various dimensions?" Luo Xiudao.
The Ancient One mage nodded, "Yes." Zhenma awakens in this world, but this fact is not affected by time and space, and wizards from other planes continue to make requests to Zhenma through various attempts, trying to establish a contract with her. Some of these people live on Earth, some in other universes, some in the past, and some in the future...... But they have only one purpose, and that is to share the power of thunder in Zhenma. β
Hearing this, Luo Xiu suddenly thought about it.
In the universe of Harry Potter, he once mastered several spells to summon thunder, but is it possible that one of the spells happened to transcend the boundaries of time and space, and borrowed her divine power through a pact with Jinma in this world?
Or, among the thousands of voices whispering in Zhenma's ears at this time, are there one or two sentences that Luo Xiu once recited?
If so, would Zhenma be able to distinguish Luo Xiu's familiar voice?
"Contract, it's really a magical ability......" Luo Xiu couldn't help but sigh, the ancient one's analysis of the spell made him have an epiphany.
The Ancient One mage nodded in approval, and then smiled, "Now, you have a deeper understanding of the occult, right?" β
"That's true." Luo Xiu said sincerely, "But Master, since we have talked about different dimensions, can you ask what kind of dimension we live in?" β
"Dimensions?" Ancient One's eyes lit up, "This is a more interesting topic. β
Luo Xiu leaned forward and listened carefully.
"At present, it is generally accepted that we live in a four-dimensional worldβa world formed by the three spatial dimensions of length, width, and height, and the time dimension, right?" Ancient One mage asked.
Luo Xiu nodded: "That's true, this is a view based on the evolution of Minkowski space, and it has been widely recognized, after all, these four dimensions are the dimensions that human beings can accurately observe......
"But the meaning of dimension itself is independent parameters, different independent parameters should be equivalent to each other, length, width and height are originally only independent parameters of space, and space and time are equivalent to each other, so how can space three-dimensional and time be mixed up to form a four-dimensional space? This in itself is a false proposition. The Ancient One mage asserted.
Luo Xiu was not surprised by such a statement, in fact, he himself agreed with the opinion of the ancient one.
The three-dimensional dimension of space and the dimension of time are collectively referred to as four-dimensional, which is a joke at all.
"Actually, this is a misunderstanding of Minkowski space, and the correct way to describe it should be that the three dimensions of space are superimposed on an independent timeline." Luo Xiudao.
The Ancient One mage nodded, and then asked, "Then how many dimensions do you think the world is?" β
Luo Xiu thought for a moment and replied: "First of all, the world is by no means three-dimensional, and the current world cannot be defined by length, width and height alone. The four-dimensional space was originally a misunderstanding, and it was not reasonable in itself. However, the modern string theory believes that the universe is ten-dimensional, and the membrane theory, which is extended from string theory, believes that the universe is eleven-dimensional, and only when the dimensions are expanded to eleven can all existing space physical phenomena be explained. β
"But dimensions don't exist to explain physical phenomena." The Ancient One mage shook his head, "Actually, the process of our quest for knowledge is a process of constant exploration, and every time I discover a truth, it always involves more questions...... I think you've heard the story of Madoka and Madoka, right? β
"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded.
"Big Circle and Small Circle" is a story that has been said badly - the greater the amount of knowledge of a person is represented as a circle, the larger the circle, the more knowledge the person has, but at the same time, the circumference of the circle is also longer, the scope of its contact with the outside world is larger, and the outside of the circle represents the unknown realm, that is, the greater a person's knowledge reserve, the greater his contact with the unknown realm, and the more questions he has.
"The 11-dimensional model can explain existing physical phenomena, but when more physical phenomena are discovered, will the 11-dimensional model still be applicable?" Ancient One asked.
"It's hard to tell." Luo Xiu smiled bitterly.
The Ancient One Mage nodded: "Therefore, the eleventh dimension is only a dimension that human beings can spy on at the moment, not the true dimension of the universe. β
"So what is the true dimension of the universe?" Luo Xiu asked dryly.
The Ancient One did not answer this question head-on, but brought Luo Xiu into the microcosm.
"At the micro level, we've actually done a very good job of dividing an object into infinitesimal pieces as much as possible and then looking at it. We can see protons, we can see electrons, and if it weren't for quark confinement, we would have been able to observe quarks directly......"
Speaking of this, the Ancient One Master waved his hand lightly, and Luo Xiu seemed to see the microscopic world in an instant, and the states of protons, electrons, and neutrons were clearly visible.
"What do you see?" Ancient One mage asked softly.
"Elementary particles." Luo Xiu gave a textbook answer.
"No, to put it more intuitively, get rid of all the knowledge you've learned......" Ancient One Master said.
Luo Xiu thought for a moment: "I saw extremely small spheres. β
"That's right." The Ancient One mage nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "This is actually the most concise way for us to spy on the universe, human beings can observe the smallest matter in the universe with the most humble attitude, and they can comprehend the most thorough truth......
Luo Xiu was a little confused, he felt that the Ancient One Mage was about to faint him.
The Ancient One continued: "Human beings do not think that their eyes are very sharp, and this tool can only see a very partial part of the universe when they peek into the universe - when the human eye looks over, we can only see a two-dimensional plane in space......"
"That's true." Luo Xiu nodded in approval.
ββ¦β¦ But the good thing is that we have countless opportunities, and we have the perseverance, if we keep looking, keep looking, try all angles, different directions, up and down, left and right. When the endless observations are over, what are all the observations we see? Gu Yi asked.
Luo Xiu thought for a moment: "The range of sight is an infinite number of planes, and these planes intersect with each other, if we sum up all the intersecting contents, we will see a standard sphere with the observer as the center and the observation distance as the radius. β
"That's true." The ancient master said, "This is the limit of human observation, what we can really observe is never a two-dimensional plane, but a high-dimensional sphere, and the particles of the microscopic world are actually our correct analysis of this universe - we live in a high-dimensional world with almost infinite dimensions, in which the intersection of each dimension forms a sphere with a uniform texture under our observation, human beings have always been high-dimensional creatures, but human beings themselves have not yet realized this." β
