Chapter 584: Number Three [Old Photo]
Ge Wei followed Monis into a stately Western restaurant. This is a high-end western restaurant that is famous in the university town and even in the city. Ge Wei knows very well that the cost of a single person here is almost half of his monthly living expenses. This made Ge Wei a little apprehensive and a little expectant.
Monis deliberately chose a secluded box, and after asking Ge Wei, he ordered a roasted snail and several accompaniments for each of them. Ge Wei secretly glanced at the menu handed over by the beautiful waitress girl, and the price on it made his heart tremble.
"The French cuisine here is still very authentic, especially their selection of ingredients, and the agate snails are all flown in from France. However, I think it's still not as good as the authentic Kung Pao Chicken. Monis seemed to notice Ge Wei's crampedness, and said to him with a smile, trying to adjust the atmosphere.
Ge Wei laughed dryly. Apparently, Monis's plan did not work out.
Monis shook his head with a smile and said helplessly, "Don't be nervous. You see, it's just a little more upscale, aren't we still in this universe? What's more, you see, I really brought the credit card. With that, Monis took out his credit card and put it on the table.
Monis's humor finally amused Ge Wei, and the initial apprehension relaxed a lot. Speaking of the universe, Ge Wei remembered what Monis said in the square at the entrance of the school just now.
"Professor Monis, hmm......" Ge Wei hesitated, "You just said that you are not from this world, you are from another universe, is it a joke?"
Monis listened, and did not rush to answer, but walked to the door. Closed the door of the box and slowly walked back to his seat. A solemn expression changed on his face.
"I know, you wouldn't trust me so easily. Monis looked into Gowe's eyes. "But, once again, I can tell you definitively that I'm really from another world. ”
"Another ...... The world?" Ge Wei still didn't believe at all at this time.
"Yes, the other one is eight or nine points similar to here, but there are many different worlds. Monis didn't seem to care about Ge Wei's disbelieving expression, and still said very seriously and patiently: "I think you must have heard of the theory of parallel universes." ”
"I've heard of it. ”
"Good, so that our conversation is much simpler. In layman's terms. Parallel universes are actually many identical but different worlds, which are not related to each other, but refer to and overlap with each other. According to the quantum theory of many-worlds, different perturbations of a particle at the same time will cause a different state of the particle in the next moment. In this way, an infinite number of outcomes can be derived from the perturbation of the particle as the origin point, and the final state is different. ”
So the possibilities are endless. Ge Wei nodded, he liked the theory very much. In addition to attending classes and doing research. I like to dabble in similar content.
"Yes, with infinite possibilities, it is possible to create an infinite number of universes. Monis was pleased that his listener understood his words easily: "And I am saying this to tell you." These theories are not just theories, they are real. ”
"I believe that. There are so many unknowns in the world that have not been explored. Human vision is not enough to see through the entire universe. So, I've always thought. In this world, anything is possible. Ge Wei also became serious.
"Good. So. How? I mean, believe it, I'm from another parallel universe. Monis looked at Ge Wei's expression expectantly.
Ge Wei was silent.
Although Ge Wei is much more open to physics and his understanding of the world than most people, and is even called a madman by the head of the physics department, when there is really something like this that needs to be believed, Ge Wei's intellect and subconscious make him have to think twice about the truth of things. It also made him have to make an apologetic face.
Monis sighed, but was not disappointed. Ge Wei's move, he had expected from the beginning. Monis knew very well that no one could easily believe such seemingly crazy words. If it is so easy to believe, then this person is certainly not human, or a human lunatic.
"It's human nature to say that there is no evidence, and I don't blame you. Monis said, took out a picture from his jacket pocket, handed it to Ge Wei, and said, "This is the only material proof I have." ”
Ge Wei received it suspiciously, and found that this was a group photo of four people, and it was a very old photo, a black and white photo. When he saw the person in the photo, Ge Wei was stunned.
Because, as a person who studies physics, the person in the photo can be said to be unavoidable. Even in the whole of China, in the whole world, people with a little common sense will have heard of this person's name.
Albert einstein.
"Einstein?" looked up in surprise and looked at Monis with an inquiring gaze.
"Yes. Monis nodded, "Look at the guy on his left again." ”
Ge Wei looked down, his eyes widened all of a sudden, he looked up at Monis in disbelief, looked at the photo again, and said, "You...... You...... How could it be you?"
"You read that right, that person is me. ”
"But...... You, why haven't you changed at all?" Ge Wei saw that the person on Einstein's left hand side in this photo was indeed the man sitting opposite him, and the most strange thing was that the Monis in the photo was almost the same as Monis at this moment! "How is this possible?"
PS's, definitely PS's. This is Ge Wei's thoughts at the moment.
"It's impossible, but it's exactly what happened. Monis sighed: "For some reason, after the space crossing, my body's metabolism almost completely stopped. I don't grow old with time, and I don't feel hungry and tired. I can tell you the truth, I haven't slept since the first day I came here. ”
"Aren't you? Are you more than 100 years old?" Ge Wei silently calculated in his heart, if he was really a contemporary of Einstein. Live to the present, plus the age on the photo. It is estimated to be nearly 100 years old.
"96 years old. Monis shrugged indifferently: "Time doesn't matter to me anymore. I am the same as I was 70 years ago. ”
Ge Wei gradually calmed down and was surprised and inexplicable, PS's, definitely PS's. That is, computer synthesis.
Conventional thinking, only with software compositing can you make this kind of photo. And a lot of people enjoy it today. Ge Wei really wants to believe that this photo of Professor Monis and Einstein is a forgery.
"I know what you're thinking. Monis always seemed to be able to guess what Gowey was thinking. said to Ge Wei very seriously: "I know, you still don't believe me." But have you ever wondered why I would do that if I'm really lying to you?"
Ge Wei was stunned and looked at Monis in a daze.
That's right, if this foreigner who claims to be named Monis and has a mysterious background is really deliberately trying to deceive him in different tricks. So, what is his motive? April Fool's Day?
Well, Ge Wei couldn't find any place in himself that was worth letting this man do that. He had no money. has no deep family background, except for the hundred pounds of meat on his body and a little ink in his head. I don't have any strengths. A little person like him, who would put so much thought into it. Just to say to him, "I'm from another parallel universe"?
Figured this out. Ge Wei felt that the man in front of him might not be telling a lie. Because even if he really came from another world, this fact is more credible than if he tried to deceive himself.
Seeing the change in Ge Wei's expression, Monis smiled and made an American shrug, and spread his hands, as if to say, "Look, you finally believe me." ”
Ge Wei lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows, trying to straighten out his thoughts. He asked, "Well, I'm sure what you're saying is true." In the words of you Americans, this is crazy...... By the way, you just said that the world you were in was very different from the world you are in now. What does this mean?"
Monis put on a nonchalant smile again, as if he felt that the biggest problem had been solved. He leaned back in his chair and tried to sit as comfortably as possible: "It's a complicated question. As far as I can see, our two worlds are very similar, not just in terms of the laws of physics, but in terms of the development of the world and the passage of time. The only thing I know is that both of our worlds have experienced two world-wide wars. Moreover, many big events happen in the same way. Of course, there are many differences. At least, in my original world, Obama was not the first black president of the United States, but Martin Luther King Jr. ”
"Martin Luther King, Jr." Gowey had heard of this man, the famous "I have a dream". Ge Wei said: "Is it the black leader who led the black movement in the United States in American history?"
"No, no," Monis shook his head, "You're referring to Martin Luther Jr." And I'm referring to the Martin Luther King Jr. father you are talking about, Martin Luther King Jr. ”
"However, as far as I know, the problem of blacks in the United States at that time was still very serious. It is impossible for a black man to become president. The United States during World War II was not like it is now. Ge Wei raised his own questions.
"Then I don't know. I'm not a historian. Monis spread his hands: "That's all I know, I don't even know what separates our two worlds." I can't find the point of time splitting that contributed to the spatial overlapping split. As far as I can tell, the time when these two different universes were created should have been at least during the First World War. That's too far away to verify. ”
Monis's authentic Beijing accent made Ge Wei feel very funny. It's like a native of Beijing, with the appearance of an American. "You've been in Beijing for a long time?" asked Monis.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the box and the food came up.
"Well, for a long time, at least thirty years, I can't remember. Monis nodded, watching the waiter put two fragrant roasted snails in front of him and Ge Wei, Monis smiled and said to Ge Wei, "Please, you're welcome." If you like it, you can wipe out my share as well. You know, I don't need to. ”
Ge Wei smiled slightly, he really couldn't imagine what it would be like to live like Monis's 70 years of not eating, drinking, or sleeping if this was all true.
When the waiter left the box and closed the door by the way, Monis suddenly changed his words and said to Ge Wei: "Wei, since you have believed most of me, I think I should also tell you everything as it is." As for the final choice, it's up to you. Now on, just listen to it. ”
Monis reclined himself comfortably in his chair, as if caught up in his reminiscences of the past, and he slowly narrates: "The whole thing has to start with that experiment...... (to be continued......
