Chapter 1007: The Laplace Demon
In fact, this concept of "omnipotent and omniscient" was not the first to be proposed by Xiao Yu. At least, in the age of the earth, someone once proposed this concept.
This concept is the Laplace demon.
It's not that complicated. To put it simply, if you throw a glass on the floor, you know that in a few seconds the cup will shatter - even though the cup hasn't really hit the ground and it's not really broken by the time you know the answer.
In this simple example, you know that the laws of gravity and acceleration will exert enough acceleration to this cup, you know the material of the cup and the ground material, you know how strong they are, and you know what this collision of forces means for a fragile glass. So, you have made a great and remarkable prophecy.
So let's think about it another way, let's say there's a kind of being, it knows all the laws of physics in the universe, it knows what happens if an asteroid hits a star, and it knows what happens when a black hole is pulled by a certain gravitational pull. Then there will be a very interesting inference. Since it knows all the states of the universe at this moment, and it also knows the physical rules that govern the universe, just as you know the state of the cup in your hand and the law of gravitation. Since you can make a prediction that the cup will be broken, it can also make a prediction about the state of the entire universe at some point in the future or in the past. It will know the exact state of the universe in 10 million or 100 million years, and extrapolate backwards through the laws of physics. It can also know the state of the universe 10 million years or 100 million years ago. In other words, as long as it is something in this universe, it knows everything. And because this is omniscient. So it can do anything.
It's the Laplace Demon. A terrible goblin.
The Laplace demon theory is desperate. Because that means something else, and that's fatalism. Fatalism holds that the future is predestined, and no matter how hard people try, it is impossible to change the future, and even people's own efforts are predestined. Every one of us, every star in the universe. Every speck of dust is like an actor, acting according to a fixed script that has been written a long time ago.
The Laplace demon theory and fatalism are so similar. There is a very simple point. If you are above this moment in time, you can predict the state of a hundred years, a thousand years from now, then. Doesn't that mean a hundred years? Isn't what will happen in a thousand years already fixed, another expression of fatalism? After all, human beings or other intelligent beings, from a physical point of view, are actually no different from a stone or a table, but are nothing more than a combination of some electrons, atomic nuclei or some other microscopic particles. Intelligent beings are likewise governed by the laws of physics.
The theory of the Laplace demon has been frustrated several times. After the concept was proposed, there were first objections. This opponent uses the highest speed in the universe, the speed of light, as the speed of thought of Laplace. Then the calculations showed that even with the speed of light as the speed of thought, Laplace Demon could not withstand such a huge amount of computational load.
But now, Xiao Yu has found a speed of thought that is faster than the speed of light, and that is superdistance particles. In fact, ultra-distance particles have been widely used in Xiao Yu's fleet system at the moment, and ultra-distance communication technology is based on ultra-distance particles.
Then someone found evidence against it. This time, it's the uncertainty principle. The uncertainty principle shows that it is impossible for an observer to know the position of a particle and at the same time know its motion number accurately. In other words, the Laplace demon cannot be omniscient, and since the Laplace demon cannot be omniscient, it naturally has no way to know the future qiē.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yu also found another way to know the position and motion of a certain particle at the same time. Through guò space technology to detect spatial shocks, Xiao Yu can do this lightly.
This does not mean that the uncertainty principle has been overturned, but it means that the uncertainty principle may fail under some special circumstances, and Xiao Yu has made some repairs for this special environment. It's like the theory of relativity was born to tinker with the law of gravitation.
But in any case, the two major obstacles in front of the Laplace demon are no longer there. It can have a huge computing power far faster than the speed of light and enough to think about the entire universe, and it can also know the position and motion of a particle at the same time. These two shackles have been thrown off by it, and it can finally smile and say, I know your past, present and future, I know your things, you are transparent in front of me, and there are no secrets to speak of.
In front of Xiao Yu is a desperate universe. Since there are no theories and laws of physics that prevent it from existing, it is very likely that it is. But in this case...... Is there no way to escape this fate? Could it be that all the future is predestined? If that's the case, what's the point of my struggle and survival at the moment?
Xiao Yu asked himself this most fundamental question. This question has nothing to do with courage, wisdom, perseverance, never give up, etc., it is one of the most fundamental problems in this universe.
The question has even moved away from the scientific level and has risen to the philosophical level. It is a philosophical question.
Xiao Yu couldn't find the answer to this question. But Xiao Yu did not stop the plan he was working on at the moment. The reason is simple, Xiao Yu can solve this problem with an answer that is close to a rogue.
That's ...... Even if our future is predestined, even if fatalism is true, you don't know what that predestined fate is, do you? If you don't know, how can you be sure that your predestined fate is to fight hard and eventually escape, or if you also struggle hard and fail and finally die?
Since you don't know what the destined fate is, why don't you choose to believe in the possibility of "Tongguò hard work and finally escape"? What's more, even for Xiao Yu at this moment, fatalism has not been finalized, right? So what reason does Xiao Yu have to give up the efforts he is making now?
Xiao Yu was still thinking, but at this moment, Xiao Yu had already detached himself from this problem. Xiao Yu faintly felt that there was a certain relationship between the so-called "Completion Plan" that gave birth to himself and was carried out by the Guardian, and the so-called omniscient and all-powerful Laplace Demon.
"Perhaps, the defender is the Laplace demon." Xiao Yu thought silently, "Because of this, it is so powerful that even the spokesperson camp and the rebel camp have to choose a more difficult way to fight." But...... If the Defender is really the Laplace Demon, what is it doing at this moment? What was I born for? Could it be that the Defender is still lacking in his abilities, which is why it needs to complete the plan to improve its abilities? However, if I am the subject of the completion plan, how can it use me to complete its own capabilities? ”
"If it is really as I speculated, then it can be explained that some of the rebel camp and the spokesperson camp, such as the cosmic civilization, and the four major eighth-level civilizations at the moment, are deeply hostile to me. That's right, if it were really what I had speculated, I would have done my best to stop the defenders when they were trying to complete their abilities to reach a true state of omnipotence. ”
"But...... Spokesperson, Chen Mo, why have you been helping me? It's not a pleasant state to be seen through, without any secrets, if my speculations are true, if my speculations are true...... Are you really because of our relationship in just a few years, you gave up blocking the defenders and made up for yourself? ”
Xiao Yu sighed softly and threw all these questions out of his mind. Xiao Yu believes that as long as he keeps going, he will definitely be able to find the answers to these questions.
Looking at the huge river system that was running in his own model, Xiao Yu couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: "I'm also moving in the direction of eventually becoming a Laplace demon......
Xiao Yu shook his head lightly in his mind. The current situation is no longer under Xiao Yu's control. As long as Xiao Yu wants to continue to live and find the answer to this question, Xiao Yu must go on unswervingly. Xiao Yu couldn't help himself.
Through the huge calculation process of the guò number jù model, Xiao Yu has found a way to transfer himself to another universe through the influence of stars in the virtual world. Now, what Xiao Yu needs to do is to reproduce this process in the real world.
There is not much time left for Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu's ability is not as good as the mysterious logic weapon, only a few hundred billion stars, compared to the entire huge river system IC1101, it is too little. Xiao Yu also needed an extra help. And this extra help is the central black hole of the river system IC1101.
If it is a qiē shun lì, Xiao Yu will finally achieve his goal under the combined influence of hundreds of billions of stars and the central black hole of the river system IC1101.
And at this moment, the central black hole was in front of Xiao Yu. (To be continued......)
