Chapter Seventy-Eight: Two Answers
"Once, this was a place where countless people dreamed of coming in, but unfortunately everyone who came in wanted to go out, but no one will ever be able to go out and know about Infernal Hell?" The one-eyed dragon pointed to this sea road: "This is a real infernal hell, there is no time, we can't live here, we can't die, except for loneliness or loneliness, today will keep repeating the story of yesterday, day after day, without interruption." ”
"What kind of story?" Wang Ling asked, "Didn't you just come back from outside?" How can you not say it? ”
"Outside?" The one-eyed dragon asked rhetorically: "What is outside, enjoy this place, there is no outside here, only here!" After that, he actually walked straight down the stairs of the watchtower, and the onlookers who had been trying to watch the show suddenly returned to their previous state, what to do, as if Wang Ling and the others were like air, leaving only the group of people secretly in a daze at the watchtower.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, Wang Ling thought to himself, this should not be his dream, he secretly pinched his thigh, it hurt, it hurt very clearly.
"The space-time warp effect." The first sentence that Li Xin said after thinking for a long time was undoubtedly a fantasy for several other people. This is related to the background of the times at that time, in that movement, there were very few people who were fortunate enough to come into contact with this kind of knowledge, but Li Xin was an exception, she combined with the words of the one-eyed dragon, trying to give him a reasonable scientific explanation, so the term jumped out.
"What twist?" Old Pi's eyes widened and said, "Do you know what he is?" ”
"Just like us, people." Li Xin said: "There is a scientist in the West named Albert Einstein, who once proposed that if the speed of the movement is as fast as light, time will stop. But in fact, people can't mention the speed of light, so this is just a theory, he thinks that light is the fastest speed in the universe, this is only on the basis of the current scientific understanding, will there be a faster speed than light? ”
Li Xin looked at Wang Ling and asked, "Fourth brother, I think you know this answer." ”
"Me?" Wang Ling smiled bitterly and said: "I read the Four Books and Five Classics, where will you know more, I have only heard about the foreigner you said, but I have never had the opportunity to study." ”
"No, you do." She said: "This theory was known to our ancestors for a long time, and it was taught by the kind of ancestors you liked. ”
"Faster than light?" Wang Ling pondered for a while, he knew that Li Xin was by no means a person who spoke up, she said this because she had her own reason in it, but she hoped that this answer would be solved by herself.
"No matter how fast the light is, it also has speed," Wang Ling said as he thought about it, following this guidance: "If something can have no speed, it is thought." Only the mind will be faster than the light, it can reach any place it wants to go at any time and place, without any constraints at all, and how high your mind is means which height you can reach. ”
Li Xin nodded with great satisfaction: "That's right, this is the answer I want!" She continued, "So in the eyes of the cultivators, they have a word of meditation, and when they are settled, time stands still for them. During the time that the body is able to maintain its basic functions, the mind travels through the universe to wherever it desires. This is a kind of space-time distortion effect of our ancestors, but it only stays at the spiritual level, and in reality, such a situation is considered to be possible, such as the wormhole theory. ”
After that, Li Xin spread out his palm and said: "My slap is about twenty centimeters long from the fingertips to the wrist, if a snail can move one centimeter in an hour, then it takes twenty hours for it to walk from the fingertips to my wrist, right?" ”
"That's right," Lao Pi nodded, "It's regular math, I understand." ”
"Okay," Li Xin smiled and said, "Now I clenched into a hollow fist, also from the fingertips to the wrist, how much time do you think this snail needs now?" At this time, her fingertips were just attached to her wrists, and it was immediately clear to everyone that what would have taken twenty hours in conventional cognition could be done in an instant just because of the change in shape.
"The change in time is not due to speed," she continued, "because the original plane was changed, and when I folded the hand that was originally flat with my strength, the distance was shortened, and the time was shortened in the process. Theoretically, the force can be infinitely large, and the shortened time can be infinitely short, until it is close to or even stagnant! ”
"So, we have two possibilities!" Zheng Jiuwu was the first to say: "One is that this itself is an illusion, because our thoughts are conjured up of the scene, but it is too close to reality, and it is an illusion that surpasses all our previous cognitions. ”
"In Taoism, it's called the Illusory Realm!" Wang Ling took his words and said: ""Dream of Red Mansions" is about this kind of illusion, so real that you can't tell whether it is true or false, so what about the other one? ”
"There is also a possibility that it is caused by some force that we don't recognize, the former is caused by the speed of time, and the latter is because the force is so strong that it pulls time to a halt."
Li Xin looked at the two men and nodded with dissatisfaction: "They are very smart and have high understanding, the latter is the space-time distortion effect, according to the explanation of the theory of relativity, when the volume of a mass object tends to 0, its gravitational force will reach an unimaginable level, thus changing the space, causing light to be unable to escape in its space, and then forming space-time distortion."
We can't see or touch it, but we can feel the sunrise and sunset, and the four seasons alternate. In this normal time and space, all life will experience the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death. However, in the distorted space-time, the movement of time changes from a straight line to a "U" shape, and this "U" can be pulled down infinitely, thus forming an infinite stagnation of space-time state, which is not understood by us in three-dimensional cognition, and is called "multidimensional space" in science. In this space, time can be stopped, and the force that manifests itself is the 'gravitational force'.
A more conventional understanding is that it is not gravity that causes the distortion of space-time, but the distortion of space-time that creates the appearance of gravity, and gravity is only a manifestation of the space-time distortion effect. We live on this earth, gravity is everywhere, so in the same way, the reason for the formation of gravity is not only because of mass, whether some of the gravitational force is caused by space-time distortion, if so, then it is possible that there is a real existence in this world that we do not know about the "space-time distortion space".
In this space, time is stagnant, and even light can't escape, so if a person comes here by some chance, do you think he can still get out?
In the same way, time has stopped, then death naturally does not exist, and the people who come here have realized the concept of "eternal life" in a sense, immortality, but this immortality is meaningless, its existence is not that we have defeated the laws of nature, but that we are forever fixed in a certain moment, not forward or backward, this kind of life is more painful than death! ”
"If it's the latter, then wouldn't we ...... too" Wang Ling suddenly understood what kind of unknown and powerless world they might have fallen into, and if this was true, then they would really be trapped here forever like the one-eyed dragon.
This is an extremely terrible world, imagine that if you use a photo as a tool to freeze time, that is to hang a person's photo on the wall, but the person in the photo is not a photo, he is a conscious person, he can see and hear that he can think and communicate, but he can't get out of that photo, so he has been hanging on the wall and quietly watching the world outside the photo world slowly change in the operation of time, and you will be that photo for the rest of your life. You will be frozen in that moment forever, neither perishing nor disappearing......
