Wang Qi walked alone on the beach.

It was the beginning of the month, the moon was gone, and the stars were shining. The trade winds blow slowly, blowing the sea surface slightly wrinkled, crushing the starlight of the day.

Wang Qi walked like this. His eyes seemed to be looking somewhere, but he didn't know where to look.

The sea water wetted a pair of boots under his feet, making him feel a little cool.

――I feel the coolness of the sea because it absorbs the heat from my skin. I didn't interfere in the process......

-- Heat can be spontaneously transferred from a hot object to a low temperature object, but it is not possible to spontaneously transfer heat from a low temperature object to a high temperature object.

During the Dan period, he reacted extremely sharply, and Wang Qi's skin could directly feel the resistance of the air.

-- The action of force is reciprocal......

"Hey, boy!" exclaimed Masako in the ring, "You've been gone for more than two hours!"

- Two Hours...... The direction of time and the direction of entropy increase...... No, no, there is no such thing in this universe. In the presence of Reiki, entropy can be reduced.

"Hey, boy, the sun is setting, what are you doing here?"

-- The sun sets and the moon rises, and the "movement" of this world is still within the scope of my understanding.

"Boy ......"

"Enough. Wang Qi knocked on the ring: "I'm not deaf again." ”

"You were stunned just now!" Shinko scolded loudly, "What the hell is wrong with you? ”

"Something is wrong? Maybe it's a little bit. Wang Qi sat on the beach, grabbed a handful of sand with his left hand, and touched the water with his right hand.

- How strange......

"What the hell are you thinking?" Masako wondered, "Why didn't you say a word?"

"I ......" Wang Qi tilted his head: "It's hard to describe." ”

Hold the sand tightly in your hands.

――Tactile...... Quality......

"What kind of message did that genius disciple send you?"

Wang Qi shook his head: "One of her doubts. As far as our system is concerned. It's not of much value. ”

"No value?" "You're still here without value...... Thinking about it for so long?"

-- It has no value in the system. But. How do you get out of this system?

Wang Qi felt. This is exactly the same as the "self-referential problem" that I mentioned earlier. His thoughts also belong to "this system", how can he go beyond this system and point out his own mistakes?

He couldn't help but think of Lu Xiaoqian's letter.

This is the seventh or eighth letter between him and Lu Xiaoqian. In the first few letters, they just exchanged their views on physics, exchanged ideas, and deepened their understanding of each other.

This time, the chief of the Ethereal Palace, who had never met before, probably felt that he and Wang Qi could have a little exchange of words. This time. She asked a few questions that she had been wondering about for a long time.

Of course, the two of them are not good enough to discuss anything, so these questions thrown by Lu Xiaoqian do not involve her core thoughts.

However, one of the problems, for Wang Qi, is like a bolt from the blue.

"Senior Brother Wang Qi: It has been more than a month since I sent the book to you. I know your interest in several letters. You and I are very close to each other in this matter. Be aware of this. I couldn't be overjoyed. ...... There are a number of questions that have been lingering in my heart for a long time. But because it's so sharp, I don't know who to talk to...... Here, I have a deviant conjecture, let me say, you can also listen to it. If you don't like it, just take it as a lie from my senior sister. ”

"Since the Venerable Master Yuanli, the way of seeking the Tao in this way has always been to strip away the variable 'aura' first, and then talk about other things. First meet the Yuan Aura environment, and then promote. But the more I go to the micro level, the more I feel that it is definitely not so simple here. At the celestial level, the aura is uniform and thin, and its effect is relatively weak. But at the micro level, a little aura will be different for a long time...... I'm wondering if it's necessary to follow the practice of 'prioritizing the stripping of Reiki' at the micro level...... If the amount of other matter is reduced to the amount of aura......"

This is a question thrown by Lu Xiaoqian.

At the micro level, is it necessary to adhere to this principle of "prioritizing stripping of Reiki"?

For Lu Xiaoqian, this is actually a problem that is not difficult to solve - it may even be just a whining thought. If she really thinks like this, as long as she enters the Yuan Shen period and is independent, she can do whatever she wants.

However, this question shocked Wang Qi.

His insight is different from Lu Xiaoqian's. In his memory, there is still the knowledge of another universe. So, he suddenly found that he had ignored such a problem for a long time.

Why do you have to strip away Reiki?

The so-called experiment is to "cancel the variables and actually verify the theory under ideal conditions". For this universe, "Reiki" is the largest and most significant variable, and it is also the most difficult condition to control, so it must be eliminated first.

Wang Qi never suspected that there was anything wrong with this.

However, when Lu Xiaoqian's words entered Wang Qi's thoughts, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this.

Is Reiki really an accessory attribute of a substance?

"Reiki" is an "exponent of energy", which is actually a reduction of the concept of Reiki to a more basic concept.

The so-called "reduction" is "to be represented by a more basic concept and omit this concept in theory".

From a phenomenological point of view, Reiki can be reduced. It's not the most basic concept.

When Wang Qi came into contact with the Dharma, he also accepted this concept, and automatically reduced the concept of Reiki in his cognition.

After the concept of Reiki is "reduced", this world becomes a world where all physical laws are highly similar to the earth's universe except for Reiki. ”

But if we abandon this concept and look at the universe again, we will find that the physical laws here are completely different from the universe on earth.

In the Earth universe, running 10 kilometers and running 10 round-trips in one kilometer cost almost the same amount of physical strength. Considering the extra physical effort spent on shifting gears and steering, it is estimated that it is more tiring to run ten round-trips.

But. In the Shenzhou universe. Running a kilometre round trip is much easier than running 10 kilometres straight.

Because. Running a round trip for one kilometer is more "orderly" than running ten kilometers. It's such a ridiculous world.

Wang Qi pressed his forehead and thought in his mind.

"If you think about it carefully, this alone is not at all like the Earth Universe!"

Wang Qi even faintly had such an idea.

"I haven't thought about mathematics since I was born, because the logic inherent in this universe is not exactly the same as that of the earth universe?"

Mathematics is not created purely by people. It is the internal logic of the laws of the universe. For example, the simplest law of "one plus one equals two" has a meaning that goes beyond human rational thinking. The definition of the number "one" is not something that can be changed by a person.

After Wang Qi was born, until Li Ziye came to the village and popularized the "present law" to him, he did not think about the two mathematical laws of the universe. Then, with the concept of mathematics, he directly broke through the sky and was promoted to practice qi.

At that time, his idea was that this universe, with its mathematical laws and logic, was consistent with the earthly universe.

But, is it really consistent?

Could it be that it is only the "known parts" that are consistent?

As Gödel's completeness theorem says. Mathematics is complete within the limits known to man. Incompleteness occurs in uncharted territory.

The two universes, perhaps, are only "known parts" of the same. The unknown parts may not be consistent.

Through his "intuition", he perceived this inconsistency, so he avoided thinking about it?

Could it be so?

This thought made Wang Qi creepy.

"If that's the case...... In this universe, wouldn't it be easier to reduce other physical quantities to aura?"

Wang Qi felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.

In the heyday of classical physics, the most important dispute was the "line battle" between the "mechanical view" and the "electromagnetic view". The famous "Wave-Particle War" is actually only one part of the battle between these two routes, and is the tip of the iceberg.

The concept of mechanistic physics holds that "mass" is an irreducible concept. This has been a concept since Isaac Newton.

The electromagnetism school, which is centered on the theory of electromagnetism, reduces "mass" to another concept - electromagnetism.

This is the clash of two ideas.

However, both the mechanical and electromagnetic views only copy the laws of the universe from different angles. It doesn't mean much other than conflicts on a number of key issues. It's nothing more than a different form of expression.

Wang Qi still didn't think that there was a physical problem that could be solved through the "aura view", so he said that Lu Xiaoqian's problem was "meaningless".

However, Wang Qi also found that if the aura could also be reduced to other concepts, it seemed to be ...... It seems like...... It's not impossible?

Not to mention anything else, if this is the case, the theoretical system of the present law will change greatly. At the very least, the thermodynamic score will be cut to the brink, and the force will become something that Wang Qi can't even understand.

If this practice of "reducing other physical quantities into aura" becomes the cornerstone of Shenzhou's Jinfa Immortal Dao, then a geoscientist will definitely not know the theoretical system of this planet after crossing over.

But......

But......

"In this universe with aura, this should be more natural, right? At least this way we can ignore the almost incomprehensible aggregation of aura, and treat it as a physical quantity that is completely unknown to the earth...... No, no, no. In this case, the concepts of 'energy' and 'mass' may be completely different from those on Earth...... There won't even be ...... at all"

-- The whole system of physics will become something that a geophysicist cannot understand at all.

Wang Qi looked at the sky and was puzzled.

From his storage bag, he took out a copy of "The Arithmetic of the Great Dao", the classic of the foundation of the present law, and flipped through it.

"It's the same. ”

It is the same as the "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" on Earth.

What is the relationship between China and the earth?

It can be said that this planet must have been influenced by the earth to give birth to the "present law", a strange system in ancient times. The current method of thinking is even closer to that auraless universe.

It seems like......

"It's like it's so that the things of the earth can settle here. ”

"The Venerable Master of Yuanli, Newton and Isaac Newton, have solved the most basic problem of a system with almost the same idea. Then, the following talents are 'logically' similar. (To be continued.) )
