Chapter 112 Star Chasing Journey (32)
The brush was filled with ink, and he lightly poked it on the paper, and a full ink dot fell on the center of the paper.
“This is an apple.” Professor Tang said, “Don’t think it’s incredible. In the one-dimensional world, it is like this.” Next to it, a crooked circle was drawn with a stroke on it.
【It’s an apple, this painting is an apple! 】
[Hmm...I can see that. 】
【My second aunt’s niece can draw better than this. 】
“Ahem, in short, this is a two-dimensional apple.” Professor Tang’s face turned red visibly.
Then she moved her hand, and a red and round apple appeared in her hand.
She placed the apple next to the "apple" on the painting: "Now, let's put this apple into the three-dimensional world. Here, it not only has length and width, but also height and volume. We can See its overall shape, touch its surface, and even feel its weight. ”
"This is the three-dimensional world you live in."
"It is also the dimension I once lived in."
Professor Tang stared deeply at the three-dimensional apple, as if looking through it Missing something.
"As for the four-dimensional apple, I have no way to really show it to you. This is beyond the scope of what you can directly observe."
"I can only say that for the four-dimensional, Time is also a movable dimension.”
Professor Tang said as he fiddled with the apples on the table.
With every poke, the shape of the apple changes, slowly twisting into an extremely chaotic existence.
From Liu Sheng’s perspective, this existence is both real and illusory.
She could see the pulp and core inside, as well as the smooth and bright red skin.
Moreover, this existence, if it can still be called an "apple", is sometimes as fresh as if it has just been picked from the tree, still with dewdrops, and sometimes it rots into a black and green mass. Things, and countless maggots crawling in and out.
Liu Sheng realized very intuitively that this was indeed not an existence that she could understand now.
"So, these," Liu Sheng pointed to the endless squares outside the pavilion, "what you see in your world is a unified 'box'? Just like you see me, All of me is me."
Liu Sheng tried to understand.
"Yes, for you, every choice you make from childhood to adulthood will split into a different world." Professor Tang nodded happily as if seeing a good student.
“For example, did you kick marbles on the ground after you got up? For example, did you choose vegetables or meat for the first bite of dinner? For example, did you listen carefully to the first lesson in school? Even when you grew up In the future, whether you choose to stay outside and work hard or go back to your hometown to live peacefully will ultimately lead to different lives.”
"For you, maybe you are the only one, and your experience determines your existence."
"But for me in higher dimensions, all you are just you."
>"However, only people who can touch the edge of high dimensions can realize this. Most people in the three-dimensional world will spend their entire lives unable to discover it."
"Maybe you haven't figured it out yet, But you did touch the edge of high dimensions for some reason, and you are even a three-point-five-dimensional particle, so you can walk between boxes without even realizing it." br>
"For this reason, you subconsciously called your friend 'Wen Weilan', right? Such an ability also guided her awakening. Once she realizes that all of herself is herself, in her , the so-called multiple worlds will also shrink into one, and she can experience everything that happens to her at the same time. "Of course, this is also because the environment I created is very special. Once she leaves here, she can't..." < br>
Liu Sheng took over the conversation: "It's because you created a four-dimensional 'rotten apple' world, right?"
Professor Tang was surprised and said again with a smile: "You It's really smart."
"By developing believers, you can inspire the invasion of monsters. Once the monsters invade, they will be like an apple that has been bitten by insects, leaving holes that can pass through." Liu Sheng said firmly. said.
“When this four-dimensional ‘apple’ expands in the three-dimensional world, it will turn into countless ‘apples’ based on choices, so I can travel through different boxes through those ‘worm-eaten’ passages. Or say 'apple', because it is the same apple."
"Okay, now let's use the concept of the box again, so that we can better understand this matter from the hypothesis of 'Schrödinger's Cat'."
"Every time you open the box in the four-dimensional world, observe , this box will further expand due to what is called quantum decoherence, and more worlds will appear in your observations."
Liu Sheng said more and more smoothly, many of them are entangled like a mess. Her thoughts were sorted out bit by bit.
【But do multiple worlds really exist? Maybe it's just an illusion. 】
【Today's "us" all have slightly different experiences. It is not known whether it is due to memory confusion or whether there are really multiple worlds. 】
[Maybe, but for Professor Tang, this is what she believes, so it has become the rule of this world. It can be said that at this moment, multiple worlds exist. 】
But these concepts are still too transcendent for Liu Sheng, so she is still in a state of doubt and self-confusion.
As for what Liu Sheng said, Professor Tang smiled noncommittally, neither admitting nor objecting.
"You don't need to think too clearly, otherwise you will go crazy." She just reminded me.
“But I’m curious, why did you do this?” Liu Sheng raised his head, looked directly into Professor Tang’s eyes, and asked, “Or is this your nature as a monster? , destruction and torture?”
Professor Tang was not angry at all because of Liu Sheng's words. Perhaps he had already accepted the fact that he had become a monster.
“Don’t you pride yourself on being smart?” Professor Tang smiled faintly, “How about you guess?”
Liu Sheng is already somewhat used to this kind of reverse and asking you to guess. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Why don't you start by guessing how you became like this?"
Professor Tang's eyes suddenly became full of interest and he made a "please" gesture.
“Back then, your theory was not recognized by the academic community. You were very unwilling, so you turned to seek recognition among the people.”
"Well, you already know this from the popular science museum." Professor Tang said.
“Yes, and then you use Universe Exploration Travel to specifically attract people who are not firm-minded, dissatisfied with their current lives, and long for something different. Layer after layer of links were arranged to give them psychological hints and inducements, and later even included pretending to be the federal government to kill them. The innocent plot made them further disappointed with the outside world, and eventually they were absorbed into the cosmic village and used as sacrifices to summon strange creatures."
"No one else has seen the so-called 'alien' except you. People', because all the people he has seen are dead or assimilated."
Liu Sheng said in one breath, with a determined expression.
They are all at the civil science level, and everything is possible in this weird world!
About the multiverse (from Wikipedia):
In 1957, the original proposal of relative states was published by American quantum physicist Hugh Everett III. Later in the 1960s and 1970s, the theory began to gain popularity and was renamed the Many Worlds Theory by Bryce DeWitt. In the many-worlds interpretation, the subjective phenomenon of wave function collapse can be explained by quantum decoherence mechanisms. Since the 1970s, decoherence methods have been further explored and developed in interpreting quantum theory and have become quite popular. The many-worlds interpretation is one of many parallel universe hypotheses in physics and philosophy. In addition to the many-worlds interpretation, the current mainstream interpretations of quantum mechanics also include other decoherence interpretations, collapse interpretations (divided into objective collapse theory and the traditional Copenhagen interpretation), hidden variable theories (mainly non-local hidden variable theories such as Deb Roy-Bohm theory) and so on. This interpretation aims to explain measurement problems and thereby resolve certain paradoxes in quantum theory, such as the EPR paradox and the Schrödinger cat paradox.
