Chapter 108 Fleeing [More 10/14]

When Calvin left San Donas, he fell three times in a short distance.

Chen Luo, who was about to go out to buy groceries, saw it, but it was not surprising at all.

Not to mention Calvin, even in modern times, a student who has received modern mathematics education since childhood can't help but doubt life when he first heard the Zeno paradox.

In the history of the development of physics, there were four great beasts.

These four major beasts are Zeno's turtle, Laplace beast, Maxwell demon, and Schrödinger's cat.

The four great beasts correspond to calculus, classical mechanics, the second law of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.

Among them, Zeno's turtle's dual cultivation of time and space can shrink into an inch, Laplace beast can conquer all things, Maxwell's demon controls all things to reverse yin and yang, Schrödinger's cat creates the universe to transcend life and death.

These four great beasts are both good and evil. They not only bring confusion and trouble to scientists, but also point out the path and direction of science for mankind.

What Chen Luo released today was Zeno's turtle.

One can say it is a mathematical problem, it is a physics problem, and it can be said that it is a philosophical problem.

In terms of philosophy, some people use the essence of motion to explain it, while in terms of physics, some people use quantum mechanics to explain it.

If you want to completely solve Zeno's turtle with mathematical methods, you must first solve the limit problem.

But for the past two thousand years, no one could explain the mystery of the limits, even great mathematicians like Eulergaus. Therefore, this unreasonable turtle of Zeno settled in the physical empire in 2000 as a divine beast.

Two thousand years later, it was not until Leibniz and Newton invented the calculus that the limit problem was solved. However, even so, both the mathematics, philosophy, and physics still quarreled over the turtle.

Later, countless explanations have been derived from the paradox about Zeno. People stick to their own ideas and can't convince anyone.

Of course, no matter what the result is, Zeno's paradox has played a great role in promoting the development of mathematics, philosophy, and physics.

This is not something Chen Luo is concerned about. What he cares about is that after releasing this turtle, those scholars of Jiaya should buy station tickets overnight and return to China, right?

After they left, his five thousand gold coins, no, seven thousand gold coins, would be in place immediately...

Although the two thousand gold coins are a little less, considering that this should be Calvin's limit, Chen Luo has made up for the sake of his old friend...

It’s still a quick way to make money. Chen Luo even looks forward to Luo Lan coming to a group of scholars from several countries. After completing mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., you can do it again...

...

In the past two days, the three major problems of scholar Gaya have stumped and temporarily faded out of people's sight.

Scholars in Yabo City are all studying Blair's turtle.

Even ordinary civilians are curious about this issue.

How could the great master not catch up with a turtle? How fast would the turtle, which even the wind-type master cannot catch up with, crawl?

Of course, the civilians don’t understand, but the scholars in Yabo City are very clear that the root of this problem is not the problem of whether the great magician chases the turtle or not, but the question of how to catch up.

Everyone knows that the great master, Lord Achilles, will definitely be able to catch up with the turtle, but how did he catch up with it?

If time and distance can be infinitely divided, how did he complete this infinite process?

This seems to be beyond their cognition.

Some people began to suspect that the school's earliest arguments originated from the Jiaya school, that time and space cannot be separated infinitely, but this is even more difficult to understand.

If time and space cannot be separated infinitely, then does it exist a minimum unit of time and space?

The scope of discussion on this issue is far beyond the irrational numbers at that time. In Yabo City, it almost reached the point where the whole people discussed it.

Even every day, many civilians gathered at the entrance of the Mathematics Association and asked scholars curiously about the great magician and the turtle.

The scholars passing by will usually explain to them if there is no urgent matter.

An obese pet shop owner stopped a scholar and asked curiously: "Even the great master of the wind system can't catch up, how fast is the turtle running?"

The scholar shook his head and explained patiently: "This is not a question of whether the turtle runs fast or not. It is a question of whether time and space can be infinitely divided..."

The owner of the pet shop waved his hand and said, "I don't care whether time can be divided. I just want to know how that turtle ran so fast and what did it grow up with?"

The scholar said helplessly: "The key point is not this. Do you think Your Excellency Blair doesn't know if the great magician can catch up with the turtle?"

The pet shop owner frowned and said, "I don't care about this, just tell me why the turtle climbs so fast, can it fly?"

The scholar was a little impatient and said, "All said, the great magician will definitely catch up with the turtle!"

"What are you studying these two days?" The owner of the pet shop gave him a blank look and asked, "How about you tell me where that Blair is? I'll ask him what his turtle grew up eating and how he climbed so fast..."

The scholar couldn't help but kick him and said furiously: "Get out!"

...

In the Mathematics Association, Calvin stood in front of a table, and on the table in front of him was a slowly crawling turtle.

Two days later, he still couldn't figure out the problem of this turtle.

Mathematics can answer the time Achilles took to catch up with the turtle, but mathematics cannot explain how he caught up with the turtle.

This is simply a problem that cannot be explained by mathematics.

Calvin was puzzled by the turtle's question, but he was even more curious. What strange ideas were placed in the young head of His Excellency Blair?

Every problem can cause a major earthquake. Is he really the devil sent by the gods to disrupt the mathematics world?

Gal hurriedly ran in from outside, forgetting to knock on the door. While holding on to the wall, he said breathing: "Yes, President, the scholars of Gaya, they, they..."

Calvin looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with them?"

Gal shouted: "They ran away!"

The visiting scholars' group of Gaya quietly left Yapo City last night without even saying hello.

Calvin was not surprised by this, and this incident was as expected.

Since Lord Blair released the terrifying turtle, the scholars of Gaya have no way out. They will face the doubts of many scholars who will not solve this problem at all.

Calvin felt that the only one who could explain this problem was Mr. Blair and that Lord Chen Luo.

At this moment, not only the scholar Gaya, but even Calvin himself was a little panicked.

He found that the power of this turtle was much greater than he expected. Now not only mathematicians, but people from all walks of life are asking him the answer to this question.

When this problem spreads, the royal capital will inevitably ask him to give an explanation.

But how did he explain?

Afraid, Calvin stood up suddenly and said, "Take the San Donas Academy with gold coins!"

...

The reputation of the Mathematics Association and Calvin is trustworthy. The day after the scholar Gaya left, Chen Luo saw the box full of gold coins.

With the lesson from the last time, Chen Luo learned his lesson this time.

The addition of variant magic is just an icing on the cake. He cannot smash all these gold coins into the Magic Association, and at least a part should be left to maintain his life.

Teacher Britney’s salary is not high, so she can support her.

Isabella was restricted by her city lord's father because she spent too much money.

The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. For the sake of Isabella having supported him, Chen Luo could also support her for a while.

These gold coins are enough to allow the three of them to live the most luxurious life.

Of course, Teacher Britney lives frugality, and Chen Luo is not a big shot. In this case, this money can support them for the rest of their lives.

Calvin hesitated for a long time before looking at Chen Luo and asked carefully: "Hisser Blair, what's going on with that turtle?"

Chen Luo could not give Calvin's explanation for this problem.

Strictly speaking, the Zeno paradox is not a mathematical problem.

Or, it is not entirely a mathematical problem.

From a mathematical perspective, the answer to this question can be given, but it cannot explain its essence.

The mathematical level of Shenrong Continent is too low, and it is too early to give them the concept of limits.

Chen Luo did not intend to explain it physically. Although quantum mechanics can explain Zeno's paradox, even quantum mechanics itself has doubts about its authenticity.

What's more, even classical mechanics is not established here, and now the concept of quantum mechanics is proposed, and most people will have to be crazy.

Historically, there are many scientists who committed suicide because of this incident.

He didn't give Calvin the answer, because he couldn't give it, and for their own good.

So, Chen Luo looked at Calvin, shrugged helplessly, and said, "I don't know either..."

Calvin looked at him in a daze, and stood there for a moment.
