Chapter 124
At this point, with the second prediction proposed by Xu Zhenghua, it was confirmed by observation data, and the credibility of the principle of strong anthropology has once again increased.
Even if we reject this theory in our hearts and disagree with it, we have to accept it under the actual data. Otherwise, how should people explain the existence of so many large-mass celestial bodies in the Alter Cloud? How should we explain the many super iron ore deposits in the Nanmen two- and three-star system?
After modifying the existing theoretical system, these things may certainly be reasonably explained within the theoretical system and described by mathematical and physical models, but the most important thing is that these two things were predicted by Xu Zhenghua in advance.
Are they all coincidences?
But the first time was a coincidence, and the second time was also the same?
After accepting the principle of strong anthropology and accepting the premise that this universe was born for humanity, another new problem emerged.
The question is, what is the purpose of the external designer designed this universe, maintaining the existence of this universe, and ultimately promoting the emergence of human civilization?
What is the reason?
Why did it take 13.8 billion years of time to finally create humanity but now it is going to destroy this universe?
——Of course, 13.8 billion years is an unimaginable long time for the human world, but it may have a completely different meaning for the external designer. It is entirely possible that in its view it is just a flash of fingers, but it is undeniable that, no matter how much or less, designing and building this universe and giving birth to humans cannot be without a price for the external designer.
Xu Zhenghua believes that even for that external designer, the human logic system is like a mathematical theorem, and has considerable significance, just like no matter where it is, one plus one must be equal to two.
One thing and an action have their meaning. Of course, it is not impossible to assume that the external designer does not have intelligence in the traditional sense, and that it is in a chaotic state, created the universe without any reason, and destroyed the universe without any reason. But in this way, the basis of all discussions and thinking will collapse, making all this meaningless.
This situation is certainly possible, but Xu Zhenghua will not think about this possibility.
After "eliminating" this possibility, the external designer created the universe and created humans, and at this moment they wanted to destroy the universe. The reason for destroying humans is crucial. This is directly related to the fate of the human world.
After all, only by understanding the reasons can we find targeted solutions.
As things progressed to this point, Xu Zhenghua found that there was another chasm in front of him that was almost insurmountable. Moreover, unlike in the past, this "chasm" is unlikely to be crossed by his scientific research capabilities.
This does not fall into the category of scientific research. It is not like a physical or mathematical problem. It can be analyzed and studied by existing tools and scientific methods. In comparison, it is more like a philosophical problem.
Some recognized or self-proclaimed thinkers and philosophers have begun to study this issue, and during this period, they have put forward many plausible explanations, such as "self", "realism", "sexual spiritual theory", "ontology", "superior theory", etc., which have made Xu Zhenghua's head almost grow bigger.
In Xu Zhenghua's view, these explanations are too mysterious and too specious, and cannot be compatible with existing discoveries. Without actual verification, it is even logically unreasonable.
Some theories are even similar to religion, and they just say that the demise of the universe is due to human greed. If you want to save the universe and save yourself, you have to restrain your own strange and strange things.
Xu Zhenghua always believed that even if it is impossible to verify a conclusion or inference from an experimental perspective, this conclusion or inference must at least be drawn under rigorous and scientific logic, so that it can be considered as a reference value. Otherwise, it is best not to read it, it is a waste of time.
Time is slowly passing by. In addition to the existing work, Xu Zhenghua also thought a lot about this issue, but he never gained anything.
One day, Cheng Yueyue and Sun Lei and his wife came to Xu Zhenghua's house again with their two-year-old child while they had free time today.
He casually talked about some things about his youth with Sun Wei, and looked at his little grandson who was fighting with a bunch of toys in the living room, Xu Zhenghua's heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.
In a blink of an eye, I was almost sixty years old. My hair was already mottled, my face was wrinkled, and my back was slightly hunched. The little girl I rescued in the doomsday now has her own family and her own children.
"Grandpa, grandpa, the car is broken."
The little boy named Sun Cheng called out to the two of them in a slight voice, and ran towards them with a small car. The wrinkles on Xu Zhenghua and Sun Wei's faces bloomed at the same time, and they reached out to Sun Cheng at the same time.
Sun Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally pounced on Xu Zhenghua's arms.
Sun Wei laughed and scolded: "This kid."
Xu Zhenghua raised Sun Cheng and rubbed his beard against his face. Sun Cheng giggled and hurriedly avoided.
"Good Chengcheng, Gay Chengcheng."
Looking at his grandson's tender face and his already dry palm, Xu Zhenghua felt a little dazed in his heart.
He was wondering whether the cute little boy in his arms had a future, and whether he could see the end of his life before the end of his life.
The sumptuous meal was brought to the table, and several people chatted casually and started eating.
The news was broadcast on the virtual projection TV, as if some extreme religious elements came out to cause trouble again, claiming that they would make humans repent to the gods and pray for the gods' mercy to save the universe and mankind themselves. Sun Wei snorted coldly: "A bunch of madmen."
After that, the TV was turned off.
Sun Lei echoed: "In this world, all kinds of demons and monsters have jumped out."
Xu Zhenghua didn't want to talk about this topic, so he said to Cheng Yueyue: "Yueyue, how are you doing recently?"
Although Cheng Yueyue is still engaged in computer research, she has recently changed directions and changed from the underlying protocol of the Internet of Things to artificial intelligence.
"It's okay, there's no big progress."
"Oh? Tell me."
Cheng Yueyue's face looked slightly bitter: "The main reason is that the progress in brain science is not enough. A while ago, there was a big progress in the Capital Biological Laboratory. It was said that it proved the correlation between human thinking and dark matter activity models. I thought artificial intelligence research could be referenced, and maybe there could be some big breakthroughs, so I changed the research direction. But after changing it, I realized that this is not the case. There are too many problems to be solved here, alas."
"What's the matter with brain science about artificial intelligence?"
Xu Zhenghua was a little confused.
"Dad, you are a physics researcher and may not know much. Let me tell you this. Until now, we have not figured out what our human consciousness is and how it came about."
Cheng Yueyue pointed to his head: "Whether there is consciousness or not is the main difference between strong artificial intelligence and weak artificial intelligence. If we want to create real artificial intelligence, we must at least figure out how real consciousness comes about first?"
Xu Zhenghua nodded thoughtfully: "In this case, the research on artificial intelligence will be limited by the progress of brain science."
"Not it? Come on, open your mouth, ah~"
Xu Zhenghua seemed to have thought of something, and seemed a little absent-minded. But Cheng Yueyue and others had long been used to it.
Cheng Yueyue even thought in her heart that perhaps it is because of inspiration from some irrelevant information from the outside world anytime and anywhere, and that she may fall into a state of thinking anytime and anywhere, which is why her father can become a great scientist.
As for what irrelevant information is, and what inspiration Xu Zhenghua has created, it is unknown. All she can do is to assist the housekeeping and kitchen robots to clean up the hygiene and then leave here.
Xu Zhenghua thought for a long time until he left home and arrived at the office, and was still thinking.
After a long time, he took out a piece of paper and began to outline it.
“The conditions known.
1. The principle of strong anthropic selection. The universe is born for humans, and external designers create the universe for humans.
2. Dark matter is the root force that supports the existence of the universe.
3. Human beings have the following instincts: reproduction, survival, pursuit of more material, larger space, etc.
4. Humans have the ability to think.
5,…”
Not long after, this paper was filled with dense characters. Looking at the paper, Xu Zhenghua fell into deep thought again.
An idea has already appeared in his mind, and this idea can perfectly meet all known conditions. In Xu Zhenghua's view, this idea is more correct than any idea that has been proposed. However, this idea also has a serious problem.
significance.
If that external designer really designed and created the universe and created humans for this reason, Xu Zhenghua couldn't find the meaning of doing so.
And if it doesn't make sense to do this, why did the external designer still do this? Could it be that the external designer really creates without any reason and destroys without any reason?
This is certainly possible, but as a scientist, Xu Zhenghua subconsciously rejected this idea.
