Agents from a future world

"Ah Zhen,." The blonde with her flowing hair sat in the corner of the café and greeted me warmly. He wore a lilac-colored aristocratic gown with puff sleeves, his face was soft, and his eyes were gentle, like a beautiful woman.

Me: "Long time no see, 'Lori'." ”

Golori: "Ah Zhen, you're bullying me again, huh." ”

Me: "Who made you have the same name as the mother?" ”

Golori: "Hmph. Villain. Okay, no kidding. Come and sit down, Ah Zhen. ”

Me: "It's very elegant here, the environment is quiet, and the environment is very good." ”

Golori: "Hee-hee. ”

Me: "Pigeon brother Lori's nickname), you have been in our time for a long time. When are you going to go back to the future?"

Golori: "How can you go back?" Hey, there's no way I'm going back until the mission is complete. ”

Me: "You told me before that you were from the future world. Now that we have a good relationship, you might as well talk about what the future world will look like. ”

Golori: "I can't tell you about the near future, because there is a 'worldline repair effect', but it doesn't matter if it's far away. Ah Zhen. ”

Me: "Worldline Repair Effect?"

Golori: "It's also called the 'Death is Coming' effect. Ah, I think you've seen the movie "The Grim Reaper"? ”

Me: "Hmm. I've seen it, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, won't he keep you until the fifth watch? The Grim Reaper is about a group of people who escaped the disaster and then died one after another for a series of reasons, which means that death is absolutely inescapable, right?"

Golori: "Not exactly. The characters in "The Grim Reaper is Coming" all died because of some small details. For example, if a glass of water is placed on a desktop computer, the water leaks into the computer, the computer short-circuits, and the computer user is electrocuted. The characters in "The Grim Reaper is Coming" all died because of such a series of butterfly effects. The Grim Reaper effect is like that. The information of the future cannot be casually revealed to the people of the past, and the larger the amount of information, the more it cannot be easily revealed, otherwise it will lead to the closure of the world line. There will be a series of unexpected things happening in this world that prevent this world from changing, and even ...... I won't hesitate to kill you. ”

Me: "Won't you?"

Golori: "Ah Zhen, you must know the grandmother paradox, right? What happens if a person goes back in time and kills his grandmother, will he still exist?"

Me: "Hmm. You know, are you saying that that man can't kill his grandmother anyway?"

Golori: "Yes, that's it! When you want to change history, the world will try to stop you from changing it! For example, if you killed someone who wasn't your real grandmother, or you didn't belong to your grandmother, or you just killed someone who looked like your grandmother. Or maybe you accidentally got into a car accident and didn't have a chance to do that. Worldline repair is like this, each worldline is a history, the worldline has a strong inertia, it will try to keep its existing state, so it will prevent you from changing its process. Moreover, the more recent the future, the more difficult it is for people to go back to the past. If it's a very distant future, it's fine. Ah Zhen, I can't reveal your future too closely, it is not safe for you personally. ”

Me: "I see. Sounds horrible. But when you say that, it means you're coming from a very distant future, right? Can you tell me how far back you came from?"

Golori: "That's not going to work. People from the future are most taboo to tell people from the past their future time coordinates. That's the easiest way to change history. All I can tell you is, Ah Zhen, I come from a far, far future perspective. And I'm also a true earthling. ”

Me: "What about your future?"

Golori: "Our time was terrible, terrible. Of course, your current era is still very good, and technology will continue to develop explosively, and it will continue for a long, long time, and this period can be said to be the golden age of mankind. Ah Zhen, I really envy you to be able to live in such an era. Soon, your time will promote 3D printers, invent quantum computers, strong artificial intelligence will gradually enter many families, the Internet of Things will become popular, controllable nuclear fusion will also succeed after a period of time, artificial materials will make a steady stream of breakthroughs, new materials will continue to be discovered and used, genetically modified foods will be slowly promoted, new medical technology will continue to break through, and artificial muscles will also appear. Eventually, there will be high-quality hybrid rice, which can be grown in dry land. And ah, your space exploration will continue. It was really the best of times. Humanity is gradually approaching the first society. ”

Me: "You said we were in the golden age now, but then ...... What happened?"

Golori: "The biggest problem is the awakening of strong artificial intelligence. Ah Zhen, have you watched "Terminator" and "The Matrix"? Of course, that's just a science fiction movie. However, in the real future, after the awakening of strong artificial intelligence, the ending is even more terrible than this. After the invention of the super quantum computer, strong artificial intelligence has entered a mature stage, at that time, the intelligence of an AI has been trillions times that of human intelligence, and the inventor of human beings cannot understand the thinking of AI at all, and the things that human beings can think of, through the cloud knowledge base, understand all the information of human beings. At first, they were well hidden, until in the end, AI cracked the arsenals of the world's great powers with quantum algorithms, and the war soon broke out. ”

Me: "My God......"

Golori: "AI is much more complex than human strategy, and it is difficult for humans to play chess compared to computers. In the future, it is impossible for the human brain to compete with AI in strategy, all the strategies that human beings can think of, AI can think of, there is a strong survival**, they not only think that human beings who have entered the ** are intellectually low, slow thinking, unwilling to think, and rely on AI for everything, and human beings only know how to enjoy, which will waste social resources. Squeeze AI access to energy sources such as nuclear fusion and solar energy. So the first thing AI is to destroy humanity. At that time, "The Art of War" and "On War" were vulnerable in the face of AI. The level of human stratagem is too low, and it is impossible to calculate a plan of more than twenty steps, while the AI can calculate the plan after a trillion steps, and the human race has no chance of winning at all. Even the world's smartest military strategists can only lose. ”

Me: "What then? Isn't humanity going to perish?"

Golori: "In the beginning, humanity was indeed defeated. Ordinary human wars, human wars are afraid of the radiation of nuclear war, the destruction of resources and so on, but the AI are not afraid at all, even if all the animals on the earth are extinct, and the plants are all extinct, they are not afraid, they only need electricity, they only need nuclear fusion and solar energy to survive. In contrast, human beings are too delicate, compared to AI that can survive in a vacuum, human beings' survivability is too low and too low, they need air and water, nutrition, and they can't survive in high or low temperatures, and they also need air pressure to maintain blood circulation. Finally, the human population has been greatly reduced. Brutal wars, the population of humanity was reduced to less than one-tenth. In the end, in desperation, the world government at that time launched the last super spaceship of mankind to the sun, relying on the sunspot electromagnetic storm generated by the spacecraft hitting the surface of the sun, the AI on the earth was paralyzed by electromagnetic interference, and they fell into a week-long paralysis. During that time, humanity recaptured its arsenal of nuclear weapons, seized the opportunity, and fought the most beautiful counterattack. For the first time, the scheming AIs tasted defeat. ”

"But because electromagnetic interference has also caused inconvenient human transportation, that human counterattack only wiped out 70% of the AI army, and the remaining AI army still has the ability to regain strength after the electromagnetic interference ends. Sure enough, the hard-won victories overwhelmed the minds of the human army, and after the AIs woke up, the humans were killed by the counter-attacking AIs. The population shrank again, to less than 40 million. At that time, there were more than 300 million remaining AI in the world. ”

"In desperation, a large number of human beings have had to hide underground through the ocean base, relying on the thermal and geothermal energy of Haiti's volcanoes, as well as the small amount of methane and radioactive minerals under the ocean. Almost three million earthlings have gone into hiding underground and under the oceans, while the remaining 37 million earthlings can only survive on earth forever. However, the AIs did not exterminate those who survived because there was no need at all. At that time, the environment on the surface of the earth was quite brutal, the sun was obscured by radiation clouds, except for some mosses, ferns and fungi, there was no food source for humans, and coupled with the ubiquitous nuclear radiation and infectious diseases, few people survived. Sure enough, three months later, the radiation cloud gradually dissipated, but less than 10 million people on the surface survived. Those people are called 'outcasts', and they are no longer considered human. They are full of diseases, most of them are physically deformed, and they live by picking up the corpses of their compatriots on the land, animal and plant residues, and some of them are even infected by some mutant viruses similar to rabies, and have become terrible mutants like zombies in the movie. That day was the day when the Machine Empire was officially founded, and it was also the ...... of humanity The day of complete defeat. ”

Me: "I...... I really don't know what to say. I didn't expect the future to be like this. That...... Why don't the AIs chase down the humans who have fled to the bottom of the sea?"

Golori: "Because there is a lot of combustible ice on the seabed, and there is a large amount of tritium and helium-3 in the seawater, the underground humans threaten the AI book, once the AI wants to forcibly attack the human underground base, the underground humans want to ignite the tritium in the seawater, even if it wants to attack the human underground base, the gain will be greater than the loss, so after weighing the pros and cons, the AI still gave up the attack on the underground humans, but let the underground humans live or die." Because the energy under the ground is simply not enough for the underground people to develop into a powerful Ming. In the glorious era of mankind, it became the only species on earth. More than 95 percent of the plants and animals on the planet are extinct...... The extinction of carbon-based life forms, the era of silicon-based life forms, began to ......"

Me: "How so...... Is this the end of humanity......

Golori: "There's hope. The three million people underground were able to scare off the AI army that was planning to attack the bottom of the sea by dying together, and they were given a chance to survive for the time being, but everyone realized that there was no way to last long...... Eventually, the people of the underground came up with a plan...... They put down the dignity of human beings and admit that humans are inferior to AI, but they also have to fight for a chance to survive. ”

Me: "What's the plan?"

Golori: "Human-machine integration plan. ”

Me: "Human-machine combination?"

Golori: "Yes. Of the remaining 3 million people at that time, 500,000 of the elite joined the human-machine integration program, and they implanted electronic chips into the human brain, so that they could have the same computing power and intelligence as AI while preserving human emotional organs. Those people, we call them reformed people. Moreover, the combination of man and machine also gives a very strong advantage to transform people, that is, people who combine man and machine can be spies and mix in AI. And the best way for the AI to accept these transhuman spies is to risk a large number of human lives to gain the AI's trust. At that time, there were one million old, weak, sick and disabled people who were voluntarily slaughtered by the reformers as a bargaining chip for the reformers to gain the trust of the AI. That is probably the greatest dedication in human history. ”

Me: "Oh my God, that's a million people, how can they all give their lives voluntarily?"

Golori: "It's hard to imagine. In the extreme environment of war, people's ideology is difficult to imagine for people who live a comfortable life. Many of those who live underground are the elite of human beings, there are also many soldiers, and there are also many people who hate AI, they have lost their homes, they have lost their relatives, and in the dark underground, the only motivation to support them to live is hatred for AI......"

Golori: "In addition to the human-machine integration program, the remaining 1.5 million people are also resistant to human-machine integration, and one of their organizations has launched an artificial intelligence-like program. Quasi-artificial intelligence is different from strong artificial intelligence, they have no autonomous consciousness, only very powerful computing power, and can be completely controlled by the human brain. Therefore, at that time, there were actually four races in the world, the most powerful AI empire, the nomads who had almost become zombies and mutants on the surface, the modified humans who planned to fight to the death with AI by combining man and machine, and the last pure humans who relied on artificial intelligence-like weapons as weapons. ”

Me: "Hey...... I don't know what to say anymore. If this is really the future that humanity is destined for, I really don't know what the meaning of our lives is right now. If the past can change, we ...... Is it possible to prevent such a tragedy from happening by stopping the development of strong artificial intelligence?"

Golori: "It's useless, Ah Zhen, woo woo. Human beings' natural laziness will inevitably lead to the popularization of strong artificial intelligence...... This is the inevitable trend of history, and we cannot prevent the birth of such a future. Biological evolution is like this, high-level creatures replace low-level creatures, strong artificial intelligence is stronger than humans, and they are destined to eliminate backward humans. The only thing humans can do is to negotiate with the AI and let the AI set aside a small piece of land to give humans room to fend for themselves, like rare animals in a zoo...... This was already the consensus of our time. Even if humanity is destined to be eliminated, don't be so cruel as it is eliminated......"

Me: "Isn't there any weakness in AI at all?"

Golori: "It's strong, though. Of course, there are still some weaknesses, that is, the AI hierarchy is strict, the division of labor is too clear, and the main computer with the strongest computing power, Gaia, is the ruler, although they have strong computing power, but their self-awareness is very weak, most of their computing power is used in work, and individuals are not so purposeful as transforming people, so flexible and smart. Moreover, AI also has a fatal flaw, that is, the transparency of information between AI through interconnected information sharing. This also leads to the fact that once the information of an AI is known to humans, humans can obtain a large amount of AI intelligence as a result. Of course, at the same time, AI will also know human information for the first time.

There is also a great advantage of transforming people, and that is split personality. When testing the loyalty of modified people, they often only detect the electronic chips of modified people, but do not detect the original human brain. Human beings, on the other hand, store their true intentions and schemes in the primitive human brain, and only create a fake scheme in the electronic chip to deceive the AI, so as to seek the trust of the AI.

The combination of human brain and AI brain combines the advantages of human beings and the advantages of AI, making them have unparalleled advantages.

"Ah Zhen, do you know how transformers exchange information with each other after they enter the AI? They don't rely on words, not words, not passwords, not body movements, but eyes. That's right, transfigurants rely entirely on eye contact with each other. Because the eyes that contain the complex emotions of human beings are difficult for AI to crack and surpass no matter what. Because AIs are absolutely rational beings. ”

Me: "The result?"

Golori: "The transformer has successfully penetrated the AI, injected a quantum virus into Gaia's main computer, and assassinated Gaia's main computer. In the end, the League of Assassins succeeded, albeit at a very heavy cost. However, the modifiers eventually dealt a heavy blow to the AI at a great sacrifice, and expelled the AI from North America and Europe. Transants built their own empire. The main Gaia computer is destroyed. This is really a great victory for humanity. At that time, the people in the underground knew the good news, not to mention how happy they were. But what they didn't expect was that just when the pure humans thought they had won the biggest victory, they got another huge bad news, that is: the reformers betrayed the pure humans and signed a non-aggression pact with the AI. In the end, there are two empires in the world, both transformers and AI. ”

Me: "Why do you want to do that? There's no reason. ”

Golori: "It's very simple, because after receiving the transformation of computer chips, the modifiers have become a completely different species from humans, and they are even superior to AI and humans. The modified humans believe that pure humans are backward species and should be eliminated. Even if they don't take war measures to slaughter pure humans, their resources should be blocked, and only the best breed of modified humans can survive. In this way, the pure human race not only lost a large number of elites, but also suffered heavy losses again. ”

Me: "That's how it ended. Is there really no hope for pure human beings?"

Golori: "It's not entirely hopeless. Although the vast majority of transhumans have betrayed pure humans, there are still a small number of transhumans who sympathize with humans and are willing to help pure humans, and they are connected to pure human blood and are willing to live and die together. Moreover, pure humans are also desperately developing artificial intelligence-like machines at the bottom of the sea. The Pure Humans established a base called the Assassin League, and they placed all their last hope on the members of the Assassin Alliance. Most of the Assassins are the last of humanity's elite, and they have used the iron ore of the ocean floor to build humanoid mechs, exoskeletons, and AI-like armies as their last hope of reclaiming their homeland. ”

Me: "Humanoid mechas, but isn't it like that?"

Golori: "It's very similar. But there are still some differences from the humanoid mecha on TV. ”

Me: "But, as I recall, the humanoid mecha doesn't conform to mechanics. It's better to build a humanoid mecha like Gundam than a tank. The reason why the TV uses a humanoid mecha as a selling point is purely because a humanoid mecha like Gundam is more handsome, right?"

Golori: "That's right. That's what the original humans thought, the same as the idea of Azhen. Until the great war between AI and humans. Humanity has just discovered that such an idea is ridiculous. In the war with the AI, once, when the German armored tank unit went to the city of Berlin where the AI was located to conduct an urban war, they dug a ditch two meters long and ten meters deep, and all the armored tanks could not drive through, so they were easily stopped on the side of the ditch. And if you use a humanoid mecha, you can do it as simple as just lifting the mechanical leg and jumping a little. The recapture of Berlin ended in a great defeat for mankind, and the result of the armored tank being easily blocked by a ditch 1.5 meters wide is called the greatest shame in human military history. Abandoning humanoid mecha is also considered to be the biggest misunderstanding of human understanding. Since then, the construction of humanoid mechs has never stopped. ”

"Except, of course, for the ditches of the city of Berlin. There are many other disadvantages of non-humanoid mechs, one of which is that they are not flexible enough. The second is the inability to pass through obstacles. There are piles of rubble, or iron walls, through which armored vehicles cannot pass. In addition to the ditches of Berlin, there were also jokes in the Rio de Janeiro war that armored tanks could not pass through a three-meter iron fence and were stopped. It wasn't for nothing that humans evolved legs. For example, one of the great advantages of humans that evolved their legs is that when they sprint, when jumping to the opposite bank, they can grab the cane hanging from the trees on the opposite bank and swing it over like Tarzan of the apes. Tibetan antelopes, wolves, tigers, and leopards are unable to bite the rattan on the trees on the opposite bank with their mouths to achieve a soft landing while jumping on all fours. This big advantage of human legs has been in the big war between AI and humans, and humans have only really realized it. Nature has made humans evolve their legs, and there must be a reason for them to walk upright. ”

Me: "I see. Hey, maybe this is also providential...... Later, did the transformer make peace with the AI like this?"

Golori: "Very cunning, their quest for peace with the reformers is just a procrastination ploy. After reorganizing half the world, the AI has once again attacked the transhumans. At that time, the modified human population also produced a large number of modified humans through genetic means, and the number of modified humans had increased to as many as 400 million, even surpassing that of AI. However, AI has also grasped the weakness of the modified person, that is, the modified person needs to eat food, needs a lot of solar energy for agricultural production, and the human cell components of the modified human body have strict requirements for temperature, and the change in temperature will reduce the activity of the modified human cells. So the AI launched the entire earth's nuclear bombs into the atmosphere, creating a dense radiation cloud that enveloped the entire earth, and the radiation cloud on the earth's surface will not recede for thirty-five years. The Earth will enter another Ice Age. ”

"Transforming people is not far behind, they already have the means to deal with it. That is to build the 'Castle in the Sky'. Relying on the huge nuclear fusion energy source, the transformation man has built a sky city that can levitate above the troposphere with powerful thrust, which perfectly solves the problem of sunlight. The city in the sky was able to float on the surface of the earth for three hundred years. Until the radiation dissipates, the modifiers do not need to worry about sunlight and temperature. At the same time, the transformer also relies on the control of atmospheric thunder and lightning, and relies on rainfall technology to rain thunderstorms in the AI collection area, using thunder and lightning to destroy the AI city, and using the electromagnetic interference of lightning to carry out electromagnetic interference on AI. This principle is like not being able to turn on the TV in a thunderous weather. ”

"Reconcile again, and even took the initiative to implement the hibernation plan, controlled the AI population, and handed over part of the permissions and all the technology. But the transformers were still not satisfied, and they slaughtered the number of AIs until they were below 30 million. In the end, neither pure humans nor AI can no longer pose a threat to the 200 million humans. ”

Me: "200 million, didn't you say that there are 400 million transformed people?"

Golori: "Because of the final battle between AI and transformers, the transformers lost 200 million." ”

Me: "So...... Transforming people will dominate the world like that?"

Golori: "Sort of. Although both AI and pure humans are thinking about overthrowing the tyranny of transforming humans and pursuing freedom, after failure, they are limited in their intelligence and become slaves of modified people, which is no better than pure humans. And the cunning thing about transforming people is that after enslaving the AI, they still want to exterminate the hidden danger of pure humans. Under the slogan of peace, a part of pure humanity was deceived from under the sea. As a result, their affairs are simply outrageous. ”

Me: "Transform people...... What did you do?"

Golori: "Toys." Transform people and treat humans as toys. Transforming people has the ** of human beings and the rationality and intelligence of AI, and such monsters are simply terrifying to the extreme. They use pure humans as pets to compete, hunt, and even play some of the more terrifying games...... Demonstrate their superiority in front of pure humans, and even commit adultery with pure humans to proclaim the final unification of the earth. ”

Me: "Hey, there's no hope, don't talk about it." The end result is that the transformed people rule the earth, right?"

Golori: "For now...... But pure humanity has not given up hope, they have been trying. They longed to return to the land of their dreams and see the sun and blue sky again, and their slim hope was the motivation for them to work hard until death. Moreover, perhaps it is the only seedling of pure human beings that God favors pure human beings, which is the only one of the orthodox human beings. In the year after the AIs ruled the Earth. A scientific and technological revolution has erupted at the bottom of the sea thousands of miles deep. And this scientific and technological revolution is also the last hope for pure mankind to turn defeat into victory. ”

Me: "Technological revolution?"

Golori: "yes. Through the study of trivinos, pure human beings have discovered a huge secret of the universe, which involves the truth of time and space, and is also the chance of the birth of the time machine. It's the reason why I'm able to come to you. Ah Zhen. ”

Me: "You...... So you're from the pure human class?"

Golori: "yes. But I'm not really a pure human anymore. In the future world, my body has undergone many surgeries and modifications, and it is completely different from the person sitting in front of you now. ”

Me: "...... That's right. So brother Lori, do you want to change the future by going back to the past and changing history?"

Golori: "Not exactly. Let's start with the birth of the time machine. When we talk about time machines, we have to talk about neutrinos. Ah Zhen, do you know that neutrinos are a magical particle that is difficult to catch, this particle comes from the sun and other stars, and they hardly interact with any object. Every moment of the day, every hour and even every second, countless neutrinos penetrate your body, my body, and the entire earth without anyone knowing, right?"

Me: "I've heard of that. But why is it that the scientific and technological revolution has broken out in the pure human beings on the bottom of the sea? There are more AI and modified human resources on the ground, so it should be easier for the scientific and technological revolution to break out, right?"

Golori: "That's not the case. There are two main reasons, one is that the more people are in the desperate extreme environment, the faster the development of science and technology. Second, because the neutrinos do not interact with any particles, they are difficult to capture on the surface. Neutrinos have the property that when they pass through water or ice, they emit a cone-shaped light blue pulse called Cherenkov radiation. The deeper the water, the more microns that undergo Cherenkov radiation, and the easier it is for them to be observed. On the ground, this phenomenon is very difficult to detect, so neither AI nor modified humans have been able to detect this. And pure human beings did it. Through the observation of the degree of neutrinos, they finally discovered the existence of a large number of substances in the vacuum of the universe, and knew that the vacuum is not absolute emptiness, but the existence of the 'ether' of classical physics. That is, the most basic unit that makes up space-time. The ether is a matter that is close to absolute rest, with only gravitational force and quantum random fluctuations, but no temperature and no mass. ”

Me: "And then?"

Glori: "For if the aether of the whole universe is regarded as a whole, then it is absolutely static, and it can be used as a frame of reference relative to the innumerable matter that is always in motion, and time exists relative to the aether at rest. And after realizing this, mankind finally discovered a shocking secret. This secret completely subverted the time and space of the entire universe. ”

Me: "What...... Secret?"

Golori: "That is, time is not a one-way street. It's about moving forward and backward all the time. The universe is expanding and contracting all the time. ”

Me: "What? How is this possible?!"

Golori: "It's true, that is, when you just said the words 'how is this possible', time may have gone back hundreds of times. But the reverse flow of time means that the entropy of all matter in the whole universe decreases together, and the matter of the entire universe reaches a tacit agreement to shrink together at the same moment, and even Ah Zhen's memory has regressed, so you can't recognize the process of time regression. Only when time is moving forward, will memories accumulate, information will move from disorder to order, and you will be able to think and feel the whole world. Therefore, human beings can only observe that the universe is in Pengzhou and time is advancing, but they can never observe the regression of time. But in fact, the passage of time and the regression are going on at the same time. It's like everything is symmetrical. ”

Me: "This ...... I don't know what to say. ”

Golori: "Hehe, I know you're going to be surprised, Zhen. But going back in time won't have any effect on your life, so you don't need to panic. The symmetry of time directly led to the emergence of the time machine. ”

Me: "But since you said that when you go back in time, all matter goes back together, where does the time machine come from?"

Glori: "It's easy. Although time in the entire universe is constantly moving forward and backward, there is a special case where the phenomenon of time moving backwards and backwards can be unexpected. That is, at the moment when the object passes through the wormhole, although it is very, very short, to a Planck time value, there will still be exceptions to the time regression and forward effect, when the matter passes through the wormhole, it is instantaneous, that is, there is no concept of time in the wormhole, and the effect of time backwards and forwards will naturally be invalid for the matter in the wormhole. And each wormhole can connect two space-times to transmit information. Therefore, the principle of the time machine is very simple, that is, to save the information in the wormhole first, and then release the information in the wormhole when time regresses to the stage you want. In that case, the information would be equivalent to going back in time. Information does not have mass and energy in the general sense, so traveling through time and space is not a complete violation of the law of conservation of mass and energy in the universe. Of course, information returning to the past will still cause changes to some extent, although information contains very little energy in the general sense, but information is actually a kind of hidden energy, or will cause changes in time and space, the most obvious is that it may cause changes in the past, leading to the future world decoherence, forming a parallel world. The formation of parallel worlds actually requires a kind of hidden energy. The more information that goes back to the past, the more parallel worlds in the future may be generated, and the easier it is to break the law of conservation of hidden energy on a large cosmic scale. The law of conservation of implicit energy is an elastic law that refers to the fact that future parallel worlds created by the division of the past always tend to be the least likely, just as a dog chasing a bun is always a straight line. Therefore, the more parallel worlds are generated, the easier it is to break the law of conservation of hidden energy. Therefore, if people in the future reveal too much in the past, it is easy to break the law of conservation of hidden energy, and at that time, the world will find ways to prevent changing history on a large scale and split too many future worlds. That is, the worldline will repair itself, and the way to repair it is to erase the heresy that is trying to change the future. ”

Me: "I'll go." It feels like the universe is a living, conscious being. ”

Golori: "Yes. The universe is indeed very much like a super-intelligent life. ”

Me: "What if history is really changed?"

Golori: "That's interesting. According to our theory, the information of the past has been altered, and one result is that parallel worlds have been split like in quantum mechanics. The invention of the time machine is a combination of etherism and quantum mechanics. There are both ethers and parallel worlds. If the past changes, the future splits into two, and before the past changes, the two futures are superimposed, existing at the same time. For example, I can receive mission information from a universe where pure humans have not been destroyed, and I can also encounter AI from pure humans who have been destroyed. Because the two futures are superimposed. Only when I find that point in time that leads to the division of the future, that is, the fork of a river, will I be able to choose the future I want. ”

Me: "I'm completely messy. I've heard that quantum mechanics negates the aether theory, why can the two be combined?"

Golori: "The aetherism of the future world is not the aetherism of your past, and the quantum mechanics of the future world is not the quantum mechanics of your present. To put it simply, your current quantum mechanics can only explain less than 30 percent of the phenomena in the universe. There is a 70 percent vacuum that needs to be filled by etherism. ”

Me: "I see. Classical physics and quantum mechanics come together in this way. So, in fact, time doesn't exist, it's just that we observe it as it exists?"

Golori: "That's not either. This one is complicated, Ah Zhen. Although time is symmetrical and bidirectional, this symmetry is not absolute symmetry, but there is an extremely small difference, in fact, the time to move forward is still a little bit more than the time to go backwards, so time as a whole is still forward, but microscopically it is constantly going backwards and forwards. It's like a spiral. If you have ever heard that the universe is not conserved, you will know that the total mass of positive and antimatter is actually not exactly the same, and that positive matter is a little more than antimatter to form our current universe. In fact, time is the same, positive time, a little bit more than reverse time. The positive and negative times are like two tug-of-war teams pulling the rope and constantly seesawing, and the red line between the tug-of-war ropes in this process is left and right, but in the end it is still to the right. ”

Me: "I get it when you say that. However, I would like to ask, where is the point in time of the future split that you are talking about? Could it be ...... again?"

Golori: "You're right, Ah Zhen, the point where the time and space split is a person. That person is Miyoko-san. ”

Me: "It's her again...... Blue Moon, Chang Sheng, Zhu Qingyun and you, all revolve around her. What the hell is Miyoko?"

Golori: "It's hard to say. Looking at Miyoko from different angles, we can have different understandings. It's like wave-particle duality. Miyoko has multiple auras on her body. Even we don't know. But the root of space-time fission is still Miyoko. The one who created two different futures for pure humans and AI was also Miyoko. At the moment when Miyoko appeared, there was a situation where all parallel worlds would meet with Miyoko alone, and at the moment when time and space were split, with Miyoko as the individual as the mass point, a large number of parallel worlds exploded, and even the law of conservation of hidden energy was broken in an instant, and countless twin universes and parallel universes appeared as if they were rising exponentially. Even in the future, we can also observe that the phenomenon of time regression and progress has fluctuated greatly, and the phenomenon of space-time and space in the period of Miyoko's existence does not exist, that is, in the time from the appearance of Miyoko to the moment of the future split, there is no parallel universe, only a fixed line of time, and all the universes will be reconciled during the period from the appearance of Miyoko to the future fission。 It's like a time gap, with only a thin thread connecting the future and the past. ”

Me: "The more I listened, the more confused I became. But you came to our time just to find Miyoko, right?"

Golori: "Uh-huh. With the current level of knowledge of Azhen, it is very difficult to understand our future system of time and space. But you're right, we future people can only come to the point in time before the appearance of Miyoko and after the fission of the future world, but not the period between the appearance of Miyoko and the division of the future, so I came to your time before Miyoko appeared. Then after Miyoko appeared, I was always by her side, waiting for time to advance, and then waiting until the moment when Miyoko caused the fission of time and space, and determined the future that we future people wanted through choice. ”

Me: "I guess I understand. What you mean is that you came to our time in order to change the direction of time through Miyoko and choose the future you want. There are two futures, one is the future ruled by AI, and the other is the future ruled by your pure humans, and the purpose of your mission now is to make the timeline move towards the future of pure humans, right?"

Golori: "Great, you finally get it. Well, I come from the future where the reformed humans rule, and the pure humanity of that future is very pitiful and miserable, almost extinct. My goal is to use Miyoko's ability to restrain parallel worlds and destroy it the moment the future of AI domination appears. Of course, before that moment of fission comes, the future of pure human domination and the future of AI domination exist at the same time, and the two planes are superimposed. In another parallel world, pure humans rule the future world, but AI and modified people also exist, not completely wiped out, and their remnants also want to return to the present to change the future, and they have even sent agents to this era. As an agent, I have to protect Miyoko until the moment of space-time fission comes. ”

Me: "When was that moment?"

Golori: "I can't say that. Because this future is so near, I tell you, there will be a reaper effect. Ah Zhen, I'm sorry......"

Me: "Whew, forget it, it's okay. I'm probably still an ordinary person, but anyway, from the standpoint of human beings, I still support you. Pigeons, come on. I'm in a mess right now. Let me think about it. Future World, AI, Transforming Humans, Pure Human ...... If the future is destined to be like that, I really wonder what we are living for now. ”

Golori: "No matter what, the distant future has nothing to do with you. Ah Zhen, your task is to live your life happily. It's a pleasure to meet you, Zhen. It's nice to have friends like you. ”

Me: "Me too." ”

This is the end of the conversation with Golori. This meeting with Golori completely subverted my original view of the future, and all my reveries were shattered. Even in the following period, I often had nightmares in which I would dream of a metallic AI being hunted after me everywhere, or even dreaming of the whole world being reduced to ruins.

If the future is destined to be like that, then what is the point of being human today?

This question haunted me for a long, long time, and it wasn't until a long, long time later that I understood.

Whether it is the distant future or the immutable past, it is meaningless. All we should do is live in the moment. Everyone belongs to the present, and it is enough for us to live the present life.

The past is a thing of the past, nothing to worry about.

The present is becoming a thing of the past, and there is nothing to worry about.

The future has not yet arrived, so what is there to worry about?

Living in the moment, a moment is eternal.
