Chapter 264 Transcend the rules and play the starry sky

All beings believe that everything in the vast universe has its most basic operating logic.

Or so to speak.

Whether it is from the conventional or transcendent route of science, philosophy, religion, magic, superpower, immortal training, martial arts, etc., or even just from the most simple cognitive perspective of the general public, such as 'the sky is going to rain, the earth will be potholes', all sentient beings will inevitably come to a conclusion in the end - there must be some kind of underlying operation law in the tens of millions of things, or it can be called the framework of basic laws.

Abbreviated as, rule model.

The essence of both laws and laws is the inevitable stability and recurrence of various relationships and connections that have universal forms in the course of the development of objective things.

In the ancient days of Blue Star, classical scientists tried to understand and describe the physical properties of the speed, position, mass and other physical properties of all kinds of real things in nature through the process of [observation-experiment-reasoning-verification], and believed that these properties are absolutely certain, and whether anyone observes them or not, the external world and all things that exist in it will continue to operate according to certain laws, and will never change.

In philosophical theory, this is called "realism".

After devouring thousands of civilizations, Mu Cang also gradually developed some of his own understanding and knowledge of the so-called concepts of 'intelligent civilization' and 'technology'.

He believes that the so-called intelligent civilization is essentially a giant complex system composed of many complex small systems that can change constantly and have no fixed shape.

Technology, whether it is so-called science and technology in the conventional sense, or the so-called exercises that promote the evolution of oneself and its race, is essentially a force that forces nature to become the desired form of intelligent life.

As the basic characteristic of technological civilization, intelligent civilization has the opposition and unity of technology and natural laws.

And in the vast 'knowledge' information of these civilizations, Mu Cang also 'sees'.

In the past countless thousands of years, all civilizations and races scattered throughout the vast starry sky, including the ancient philosophers and sages of the Blue Star Humans, have been arguing repeatedly and trying to determine ...... The specific characteristics and properties of the 'reality' and 'reality' of all things in the universe.

In the end, they summarized four relatively well-established rule model characteristics:

First, it is easy to generalize and understand.

Second, it contains fewer adjustable elements.

Third, it is consistent with all existing observations.

Fourth, it can make detailed predictions and predictions about the observed facts that can be discovered in the future.

For example, a physical theory is a mathematical model and a set of regular models that tie that model to the facts of observation.

Under the guidance of this seemingly stable system of rule model features, the giant complex system called "Human Civilization" constantly discovers various natural rule models from the outside world, constantly summarizes and calculates laws and theories, and constantly manufactures tools with different functions, so as to continuously promote the development of civilization step by step, and finally step into space and set foot in the vast universe.

But unfortunately, just as there was a city on the continent of Europa that forbade people to keep goldfish in spherical tanks, because it was thought that it would distort the image of goldfish when they looked out of such tanks.

In fact, intelligent life cannot confirm that the external world it perceives will be more real than the goldfish in the spherical fish tank.

Because intelligent life itself cannot exclude itself from its own perception of the world.

The cognition of intelligent life is generated through feeling, thinking, and reasoning.

For example, human beings' cognition of the outside world is not directly generated, but shaped by something like a spherical fish tank, the explanatory structure of the human brain.

Humans have never actually seen electrons, protons, or neutrinos; I have never seen the inside of a brick, and even if I smashed the brick open, what I saw was at best the other surface of the brick; I haven't seen what the inside of the blue star or the sun looks like.

There is no guarantee that what humans see is real.

Especially after quantum mechanics shows all kinds of uncertainties and the activity of [probability] in the real world, it becomes more and more difficult and even unnecessary to continue to adhere to [realism].

Of course, although the world seen from the spherical fish tank is different from what people usually see, it is still possible to summarize the laws of movement:

That is, to express all the linear motion of the outside world as curvilinear motion, and to establish a new set of coordinate systems, is only a little more complicated than the usual theory.

In other words, if we think about it according to the theoretical line of thought of the holographic universe, it can also be considered that the surrounding trillions of light-years of space-time may only be an illusory image of a huge high-dimensional space-time on the boundary.

In this case, then, the condition of intelligent beings in the universe will not be much better than that of a goldfish in a spherical fish tank.

This leads to a terrible fact:

That is, intelligent life cannot prove or falsify the existence or truth of the world.

Nor can any thing, power, or other thing guarantee any cosmic rule that infinite intelligent life observes, experiments, understands, and summarizes...... is truly right.

There is no existence that can guarantee that there really are rules in the universe.

In other words, even if there are rules, there is no guarantee of how long its 'shelf life' will last.

It seems that in the past, human beings have always believed that the gravitational acceleration of the blue star is 9.8 meters per square second, but as the rocket leaves the planet and flies farther and farther, this data is getting smaller and smaller.

Then came the industrial age, and the self-proclaimed scientific prosper, the Blue Star Humans, believed that every day in this world must go through twenty-four hours from morning to night.

But in reality, billions of years ago, on the blue star, only one-third of the hours of a day were elapsed.

In billions of years, the number of hours in a day on the blue star would have doubled as much as it is today.

Another example is the ancient continent of Europa, where an astronomer named Ptolemy once proposed a model of star motion rules centered on the blue star.

In this model, one can 'accurately' predict the motion of the stars by adding a auxiliary wheel to the planet's circular orbit [this round].

But this 'precision' is only relatively accurate, and it is still relatively ambiguous and coarse.

Over time, in order to conform to the observed facts and people's daily feelings, it is necessary to add dozens of layers of equalization.

It's a bit cumbersome and stupid.

In later generations, this model of rules was replaced by Copernicus's new model centered on the sun, and became an old thing that people would deeply remember and revere, but would not use it in large quantities.

In modern times, when they wanted to study the movement of celestial bodies in the Milky Way, Bluestar astronomers found that the heliocentric model was far less useful than the model with the center of the Milky Way as the origin.

So heliocentrism was replaced.

In short, Mu Cang believes that all the rules that all beings in the universe, including human beings, or all the scientific research carried out to discover this rule, are just describing what has been observed so far in an extremely short and extremely limited time and space.

"The ...... of the Rules of the Universe"

Mu Cang, who had been thinking quietly for a whole day, slowly raised his eyes, and quietly looked at the twinkling stars in the distant void with the extradimensional eye that was much larger than the star system.

Faintly, this monotonous and secluded starry sky suddenly turned into an endless sea composed of [unknown].

Among them, the intelligent civilizations born for various reasons are like clusters of small coral reefs that occasionally burst out in the depths of the ocean.

Over time, these reefs grew larger and became coral islands.

Later, Coral Island became the Great Barrier Reef.

Later, it became a real continent with a territory of thousands of miles that can support hundreds of millions of sentient beings.

In this way, in such a chaotic situation for themselves and the outside world, intelligent beings continue to cut through the waves in this endless ocean called "Unknown", expand their territorial (cognitive) scope, and constantly create and create various things and technologies that surpass themselves and then lead themselves beyond the past.

Countless unknowns have been cracked, countless former darkness has been illuminated, and countless former dangers have been leveled, and finally they have become a force that intelligent civilization can touch and control.

But, paradoxically...... The greater the expansion of the territory (cognition) of intelligent beings, the greater their contact with the unknown sea, and the greater the unknown, darkness, and danger they face.

The geocentric theory appeared, but it was soon replaced by the heliocentric theory, and later mankind discovered that even the solar system was only on the edge of the Milky Way, and then mankind discovered that the Milky Way was only a small part of the Virgo supercluster, and then it was discovered that the Virgo supercluster was only a part of the Laniakea supercluster.

With the development of civilization, intelligent beings have become more and more powerful, but the unknown has also become more and more infinite, seemingly endless.

"The tiny bacteria in the petri dish, even if they multiply for hundreds of generations and thousands of generations, summing up all kinds of cosmic laws, still can't really figure out what is going on in their world.

Perhaps, the medical student who is their creator will throw it into the trash in a fit of anger because of too many duplicate checks in the paper.

Civilization collapsed, ethnic groups perished. ”

Buzz –

Mu Cang slowly raised his palm, and suddenly, a fiery star with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers emerged out of thin air.

On its surface, billions of the most ordinary carp flickered and appeared out of thin air, unconcerned about the terrifying heat around them, as if they were in a normal lake, frolicking and jumping.

He looked down at the tiny star, looked down at these fragile little beings, and said leisurely:

"How about the thousands of sentient beings living in this so-called 'vast universe'?

Could everything that sentient beings think today be due to their own insignificance?

Is the so-called law, the so-called iron rule, really so unbreakable? ”

With that, the stars and billions of carp vanished without a trace, as if they had never been born.

In fact, Mu Cang created these without consuming half a cent of energy, nor did he use celestial mana.

Relying only on thinking, relying on the gentle rhythm of the endless light, this star, which can spread infinite brilliance but cannot harm ordinary carbon-based life, was born in such a natural and instantaneous moment.

So unscientific, so contrary to logic, so ...... Go beyond the rules.

It's like the edible watermelon-flavored neutron star he created with the Infinite Light.

It has a huge gravitational pull, temperature, magnetism, and is indeed made of neutrons, but it can be safely eaten and even digested, and even the most vulnerable ant can crawl around on it without any harm.

Can science explain how to make this neutron star that science can't explain?

If it can, then this neutron star is beyond the scope of science.

If not, then the method of making this neutron star is beyond the science to explain.

But the most ordinary human being can explain how to make something that he can't explain.

For example, an adult man can easily explain to anyone how to make a child, but he has no understanding of the child's neural structure and biology.

Why did he think? ’

Probably because of the soul. ’

This also proves that science that cannot transcend logic cannot truly explain everything.

At the same time, it also proves that science that exists in an isolated system is unlikely to be able to surpass this system.

However, the Endless Light, or the materialized spirituality in the depths of Mu Cang's soul, implied some mysterious power that transcended the isolated system of this universe.

In other words, behind the tens of millions of things, behind the four fundamental forces, it is very likely that there is a certain 'ontology' that transcends all rules.

However, after the spirit is materialized, it can touch and even use the power of this unknown 'essence' slightly.

Any system has its own first principles.

It is a fundamental proposition or assumption that cannot be defaulted or violated.

"So my root spirituality has touched the first principles hidden behind everything and all the rules of the universe."

Mu Cang's eyes turned, looked at the starry sky around him, and whispered:

"I ...... Heartbeat, Stars...... Also move. ”

Wow –

In an instant, all the stars that radiated brilliance within a radius of thousands of light years centered on him seemed to be firmly tied up by an invisible climbing rope with thousands of locks, and as his gaze turned, he suddenly ignored the three effects of relativity's time dilation, shrinkage, and mass increase, and suddenly danced wildly with electric jets hundreds of millions of times faster than the speed of light.

This scene, which covers a range of thousands of light-years around it, is immense, so vast that it can crush the minds of mortal beings.

Even the immeasurable starlight emitted by these stars when they flew faster than the speed of light completely ignored the speed of light, and suddenly crossed a distance of thousands of light years and stacked in front of Mu Cang layer by layer, making the surroundings around him instantly become extremely dazzling, almost like an infinite sea of light composed of countless star points.

In the depths of this universe, countless thousands of brilliant starlights are dancing one after another, and the starlight is as beautiful as a song, as if a silent piece of music has been played.

A piece of music that only a great being like Mu Cang can appreciate beyond the imagination of mortals.

The many civilizations and races that orbit these thousands of stars are in endless shock and fear as they fly together billions of times faster than the speed of light.

The changes in the outside world are so strange and bizarre that even they can't describe or understand them.

All but passively frightened, howled, and prayed.

In the next moment, this brilliant star ignored all the restrictions of the rules of the universe and traveled tens of hundreds of thousands of light years away, and came to Mu Cang's eyes, and was ruthlessly devoured by it.

The dozens or hundreds of intelligent races contained in it were also swallowed up by him at the same time.

At this moment, the [Infinite Attributes] system started on time.

Airplanes!

Mu Cang's huge body immediately surged out a circle of space-time waves, rumbling and covering the surrounding vast and completely empty stars.

【Master: Mu Cang】

[Physique: 24 billion stars]

[Divine Soul: 24 Billion Great Stars]

It was also at this moment that he realized what the true power essence of the materialized spirit in the depths of his soul was:

It does not require the involvement of energy, matter, information, and the fundamental forces of the universe.

Purely with one's own mind, subjectively break the objective reality, and rebel against the model of the rules of the universe, thus shaping the effect without cause.

That is, to turn what you think into reality.
