Chapter 40: The Dimension of Time
"Avenue? What avenue? Ah Guang asked curiously. The old Taoist priest ignored him and turned his head to look at Liu Yihe: "Do you remember when I asked you about parallel time and space?" What was your understanding at the time? ”
"Well...... I said anything can happen in parallel time and space, maybe there, we haven't experienced these things at all? Liu Yihe scratched his head, "But according to what you meant at that time, maybe the parallel time and space are completely independent of the universe we exist, and it is another unknown space." ”
In fact, there is no problem with either of these statements, and on the small road, parallel time and space are another possibility of our current world. And completely independent of this cosmic space is the Great Dao. The old Taoist priest said leisurely.
"Zhang Zhenren, do you mean that parallel time and space are real?" Liu Yihe asked curiously.
Zhang Sanfeng ignored him and asked, "How many dimensions do you think the universe has?" ”
"Needless to say, the three-dimensional universe!" Ah Guang pursed his lips.
"No, there's still time, so the universe is four-dimensional." Sanny disagreed.
Liu Yihe thought for a moment and said: "I remember reading a related article before, saying that our universe has 11 dimensions, and we are three-dimensional creatures living in a four-dimensional space. Zhang Zhenren, what do you think? ”
"I don't know...... Figuring out these is a lifelong pursuit. Zhang Sanfeng smiled bitterly, "Maybe you can reach the height of the ancestor in that way." ”
Liu Yihe was a little disappointed when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were still things that the old Taoist priest couldn't see. Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng just smiled indifferently: "The avenue is simple, but it is not something that ordinary people like me can spy on." ”
"But what does this have to do with the space-time circle?" Sanny couldn't help but ask.
"Have you ever thought that time may have dimensions?" The old Taoist priest looked at Sunny with a smile and asked slowly.
Shanni was stunned for a moment, and before she could answer, she saw that the old Taoist priest was silently using Xuangong, and in an instant, a black space enveloped several people. Zhang Sanfeng stabbed the void with the primordial dust, only to see a golden point of light appear in mid-air: "This is the zero dimension, the universe that has not yet been opened. ”
Zhang Sanfeng paused for a moment, and shook the dust with his hand, only to see that the golden point of light extended infinitely to both sides along the trajectory of the dust, turning into a thin golden line extending to both ends of this space.
"This is a one-dimensional universe, and when chaos first opens, the inner power leaks out, maybe that's it." Zhang Sanfeng sighed.
Everyone was still amazed by Zhang Sanfeng's divine power, but they saw that he stretched out his right hand and slowly pushed forward, and the thin golden line suddenly expanded along the direction perpendicular to it, turning into a whole golden light curtain erected in front of everyone.
Zhang Sanfeng stared at the stunned crowd, "The chaos has just begun, the internal forces are manic, and it is no longer enough to maintain balance by releasing energy to both ends, so the two-dimensional universe was born." However, this is not the final form of the universe......" Zhang Sanfeng said as he drew a Tai Chi shape on his chest with both hands, only to see that the golden light curtain suddenly swelled forward and backward at the same time, instantly covering the entire space. Everyone looked around blankly, not knowing how to describe the shock in their hearts. Zhang Sanfeng smiled: "This is the three-dimensional universe we live in. ”
"Hey, look, I'll just say the universe is three-dimensional!" Ah Guang suddenly became proud when he heard Zhang Sanfeng's words, and looked at Liu Yihe and Shanni next to him with a provocative expression, but was knocked on the head by the old man who had not spoken for a long time: "Shut up, stupid, can you guarantee that the universe at this time is in a state of balance and will no longer change?" ”
"Look at yourself, stinky grasshopper, this space has been filled with golden light, how else can it be changed!" Ah Guang covered his head and glared at Lao Meng with an angry face, as if he didn't care that Lao Meng was injured, he would rush up and fight with him. Hearing Ah Guang's words, Lao Meng was so angry that he was about to step forward to teach the other party a lesson, but he accidentally touched his internal breath and couldn't help but show a painful look. Seeing this, Liu Yihe and Shanni hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two apart, and Ah Guang saw that Lao Meng's expression was painful and regretful, so he hurriedly replied, and finally extinguished a turmoil.
"Zhang Zhenren, since this is the case, I'm afraid there is a higher dimension!" Seeing that the two of them were quiet, Liu Yihe asked Zhang Sanfeng.
"Stupid! One dimension becomes two-dimensional, and two-dimensional becomes three-dimensional. So even if there is a higher dimension, I'm afraid it's in the distant future, who knows what it will look like. Ah Guang shouted at Liu Yihe again, and Shanni, who was provoked on the side, couldn't help frowning.
"No, it's not like that, all dimensions are created in the same instant. And the reason why we can only see in three dimensions is because we are creatures born in the three-dimensional universe. Zhang Sanfeng looked at the quarrelsome people with a kind face, as if he had returned to his youth. He shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Poor Dao is short-sighted, and he can't break through this thin veil all his life. ”
"Real person, do you mean that the four-dimensional universe is not a three-dimensional universe plus time?" Sanny asked curiously.
"No, three dimensions plus time is four dimensions...... But it's not about adding time as we know it. Zhang Sanfeng shook his head, "The time we know is just a possibility of the four-dimensional universe. ”
Seeing that everyone was staring at him blankly, Zhang Sanfeng continued: "Every time we make a decision, like if I have to walk now, whether I take the left foot first or the right foot first, it may cause a completely different result. For example, there is a small pit where my right foot falls ten steps ahead, and if I step on my left foot first, I will step on this small pit when I walk there. But if you take your right foot first, you will walk through it safely. And if I choose not to stay for a while, how long will it take? There are infinite possibilities every second, and I'm just one of them. And your existence also has infinite possibilities. ”
"Are you saying that all these so-called 'possibility' may be reality?" Liu Yihe asked.
"That's right, the arrival of you in the space-time circle has confirmed my thoughts even more. Originally, you and I were in different planes, but with your arrival, my timeline has also shifted, and I am afraid no one can say what the result will be. At the mention of the space-time circle, Zhang Sanfeng's cloudy eyes suddenly became extremely bright, as if he had infinite longing. With a wave of his hand, the golden color that filled the entire space instantly dissipated, and the surroundings returned to the previous pitch blackness.
Before everyone could react, Zhang Sanfeng drew a golden straight line again, stretched out his hand a little forward, and the place where he was hit suddenly began to flicker. Zhang Sanfeng said: "This is a point in one dimension, so now it has only two possibilities, forward or backward. Assuming that forward is the future and backward is the past, this is one-dimensional time. Zhang Sanfeng didn't stop talking, and stretched the thin line into a light curtain, stretched out his hand and tapped it, and a straight line on the light curtain kept flashing.
"Now how many possibilities does it have?" Zhang Sanfeng asked everyone.
"Two kinds of ah! Up or down. Lao Meng and Ah Guang said in unison, and then the two were stunned and looked at each other, obviously not expecting that they and the other party could come to the same conclusion.
"Nope! We couldn't determine the shape of this light curtain, so we ...... So there are two possibilities: clockwise and counterclockwise. Is this two-dimensional time? Shanni retorted, and then glanced at Liu Yihe, seeing that the other party's eyes were full of appreciation, and instantly felt extremely sweet in her heart.
"Sigh ......" Ah Guang and Lao Meng saw that the two of them openly showed their affection, and couldn't help but shush out at the same time.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded appreciatively, and then filled the entire space with golden light. At the same point, a golden ball in front of him began to flicker incessantly. He asked slowly, "Now who is going to say how many possibilities this three-dimensional time has?" ”
