Chapter 5: The Butterfly Effect and Parallel Timelines

Before the evening, Zheng Yuanli checked the disciple rules that his younger brother had copied. He also wrote down the typos one by one on a new piece of paper and listed them in a vertical column. Zheng Yuanli instructed Xiao Jia to copy each typo ten more times.

After that, Zheng Yuanli communicated with Aunt Wang, who was cleaning, about the dishes to be made for dinner, and began to return to his room.

Write your own term paper.

Zheng Yuanli majored in physics at university.

In his opinion, magic and science have similarities.

Sorcery is looking inward for truth, and science is looking to the universe for answers.

Hawking said that because of the development of science, there is no place for philosophy. Zheng Yuanli felt that it was not enough for human science to observe.

Whether it's magic or science, it will eventually intersect at a certain point.

Zheng Yuanli looked at a paper called "The Butterfly Effect of Divination and Parallel Universes".

In this paper, there is such a basic assumption.

First, the resources in our world are limited.

Any conscious change in cause and effect triggers a cascade of subsequent changes.

The author makes a figurative analogy.

In the casino, there is a soothsayer who has the ability to calculate exactly when to win a slot machine.

Then if this soothsayer is greedy, he can take away the chances of ordinary people to win the lottery at will.

Because the chances of winning the lottery are limited. If this reward is 10 yuan, it may not be enough to change the fate of this ordinary person.

However, if it is 1 million yuan, then the fate of this ordinary person may be completely rewritten.

What if it's as big as 1 billion? Then it may be necessary to split the original timeline into a new timeline to withstand such a huge impact.

In addition, even if there is only a change of $10. If compound interest is calculated, after 100 years, what is the value of this 10 yuan? And how big will the impact be on the world?

Therefore, the conclusion of this paper is that as soon as consciousness changes the normal course of events, a new timeline will be split.

Zheng Yuanli thought about it and looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, it was 16:57.

Counting the time my brother was lazy, he should have just finished writing.

Aunt Wang usually finishes dinner at this time, and her father also comes back at this time.

You can go and check Xiao Jia's handwriting first, and then go downstairs together to say goodbye to Aunt Wang, ready to greet your father.

At this moment, Zheng Yuanli heard Ding Lingling's phone ringing in the living room on the first floor. Downstairs, Aunt Wang was cooking in the kitchen and didn't have time to pick it up.

Yuan Li didn't pay attention to it, but just let it ring three times.

At this point in time, three rings are a kind of code.

Zheng Yuanli knew that if his father would not come back after a while, his father wanted him to go to his uncle to meet him at the right time. Don't worry about this first, he should be able to deal with his father's affairs.

Zheng Yuanli walked to the door of his brother's room and guessed that his brother should have finished writing and should be peeking at comic books. He knocked lightly on the door, and pushed the door open without hurrying, giving his brother a short time to hide the comic book in a panic.

Zheng Yuanjia had already written the content of his brother's punishment for copying. I was peeking at the "Dragon Ball" that my brother had read when I was a child, and when I saw my brother coming in, I subconsciously hid the comic book in the bookshelf next to me.

Zheng Yuanli couldn't help but laugh when he saw his younger brother in a hurry.

"Xiao Jia, is the transcription done?"

"It's been around for a long time."

Zheng Yuanjia stuck out his tongue, and he also knew that his brother would not blame him for reading comics. But it was their tacit understanding to hide it quickly.

"In that case, it's time to eat. Let's go and say goodbye to Aunt Wang together. Today, my father will not come back because of something, and the two of us will eat. ”

"It's rare for my father not to come home for dinner. I'm a little worried about him. ”

Zheng Yuanjia was a little unhappy when he heard that his father would not come home.

"Okay, my father is just going to socialize with a few friends. He may have to drink some wine, so after eating, his brother will pick him up later. ”

Zheng Yuanli coaxed Zheng Yuanjia to say so.

"Brother don't leave after eating, you have to play games with me first."

"Then you have to finish your homework before half past seven, and I can play with you for half an hour if I pass the inspection."

"Okay, that's a deal."

"It's a deal."

"Then I'll go out to pick up my father, maybe I'll come back later, and I'll be more obedient at home."

"Hmm!"
