A civilization actually regards a seemingly absurd and correct theory as truth.
After thinking about it, it is still caused by... the "methodology" of physics!
Basic disciplines such as cosmology, high-energy physics, and quantum mechanics do not have a very rigorous foundation.
The basic idea of scientists is to establish a model that basically conforms to the prediction, and then verify it with various experiments.
If the experiment meets expectations, then it is tentatively considered that the model is correct. If the data does not conform, the model is certainly wrong.
The famous Newtonian mechanics, the standard model, the theory of relativity, the Schrödinger equation, etc. were all summarized in this way.
There must be a model first, and then there are other things.
This also has a result: it is not as rigorous as mathematics.
"We use our observation results as the test standard of physics. But if some information in the universe is lost at the beginning, all observation results will be incomplete... The model we build will only be consistent with the incomplete results.
. Even if the model created is ridiculous and wrong, we don’t know it.”
"The originally correct model was ignored because it did not conform to the observational 'facts' and could not be verified."
"This is probably what the fringe civilization wants to tell us..."
Yu Yifeng thought for a long time but could not find any solution... He believed that there was not much wrong with the physics method.
"You can't take the miscellaneous and unverifiable folk science as the truth, right? At least so far, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. From a scientific perspective, this problem of marginal civilization is indeed unsolvable."
While he was thinking like this, a paragraph of text suddenly popped into his mind.
【Is our universe in its most glorious era?】
【Yes/No/Don't know】
Yu Yifeng was stunned for a moment. This text should be left by a fringe civilization.
"The most glorious era?"
He thought about it and chose... "I don't know."
[In the world we live in, stars are still active, galaxies are still brilliant, black holes have not swallowed up everything, and the universe has not over-expanded to an unacceptable level. Our universe looks more brilliant than the era of heat death.
many.】
[Our technology can easily transform planets, white dwarfs, and neutron stars, and can span distances of hundreds of millions of light years. We are very proud of our current achievements.]
【No one knows if we have made the same mistake? 】
[Because we live in more cages than in the heat death era, we live in this universe and never want to think about whether it has any shortcomings.]
Yu Yifeng was completely stunned.
Yes, the birth of this universe has been 13.8 billion years, so it is not young anymore.
Whether it has ever been more glorious, no one knows.
What was the universe like in the first few years, or the first few billion years?
Is it more glorious than it is now?
Although many scientists speculate that in the first few hundred million years of the universe, the environment was extremely harsh and there should be no life...
But, who knows?
"Do even fringe civilizations think so?"
It is even impossible for all the current cosmic civilizations to know this answer, because they have missed this information.
"Is the universe missing?"
What theory is wrong? Is it a set of lies we have spun based on incomplete phenomena?
Quantum theory? Theory of relativity? No, these theories are indeed correct, but they are correct under current conditions. However, as long as the universe loses some information, we will probably never be able to discover the real truth.
"If normal physics cannot be developed, can we only rely on various conjectures?"
Relying on various ideas to develop science?!
But he also feels that the concerns and conjectures of fringe civilizations are reasonable.
Why was there more positive matter than antimatter at the beginning of the universe? Why did it become what it is now? These are all unsolved mysteries.
I saw this line of text continuing to read:
【No one knows whether we are spinning endlessly in a circle of our own making.】
[After a long period of development, we have a vague feeling that we have reached the end of science, but we always feel that it is incomplete. 】
【We don’t know the reason.】
【Until we discovered a poem of low-level civilization:】
The caged bird,
When will it come out?
at dawn in the evening,
Singing happy songs.
The caged bird,
Never be sad.
In this man-made paradise,
Spend your life.
caged bird,
Singing duet with the frog in the well;
The world beyond the sky,
They will never know.]’
【Is the universe also a cage? 】
[It’s just that this cage is big enough that we don’t even realize it’s just a cage; it’s so big that... civilization isn’t strong enough, so even if we realize it, there’s nothing we can do about it. 】
[This should be part of the strong barrier. Yes, it’s just part of it...]
【The first level.】
【We walked.】
[We will chase the first light that created the world and retrieve the lost information...]
[As long as we fly to the edge of the universe, we may be able to observe: the first second of the Big Bang.]
【goodbye.】
[Marginal civilization, stay.]
This should be the last piece of information. Yu Yifeng felt lost and stared blankly for a long time.
This may be the origin of the name "marginal civilization".
The edge of the universe, how far away?
How big is the universe?
Anyway, he doesn't know. The universe is high-dimensional, and even if the new humans want to imitate it, they will only go around in a three-dimensional space.
Perhaps, for the fringe civilization of L8, this powerful and imaginative civilization, it is not easy to go to the edge of the universe. But they spent a huge amount of money just because of a conjecture.
Action may take them countless years and pay a huge price.
Maybe, never come back.
But they still did it.
"Are all high-level civilizations so chic?" Yu Yifeng just stared at the planet under his feet with a blank mind, dumbfounded, dumbfounded...
Natural evolution continues.
The golden age of science has passed, generations of great men have passed away, people's living standards have improved day by day, and they have begun to pursue spiritual enjoyment. Without the intervention of his "god", the entertainment trend quickly swept through the entire civilization, and capital began to penetrate
to various industries, including the energy industry.
Whether this civilization can pass through the "Great Filter" is still a question.
Maybe... even if they pass through the Great Filter, it will be of no use. Because they are the only civilization in the entire universe.
They can only use the resources of the entire sun. Yu Yifeng does not expect that this group of people can reach the level of marginal civilization.
"They must be the center of the universe... This sun was originally created by God. Alas." Yu Yifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"The mission failed, how should I leave here?"
As soon as this idea came to mind, a line of text suddenly appeared in my mind:
[Are you leaving the "Eternal World 009ddax22qq22" universe? Yes/No] He was stunned again. Was what he just experienced the "Eternal World"?
He chose "Yes".
[The universe of "Eternal World 009ddax22qq22" has an evolution score of 7812378 and a score of C-. Before you leave, you can give the creative civilization a gift. 】
A series of dense lists appeared in front of me.
"A gift?"
Yu Yifeng found that his authority had been greatly improved. This was a real authority, the kind that could create things from the void!
He thought about it and added large areas of uranium mines to the moon, and then in a very old-fashioned way, buried an alien spacecraft with a complete nuclear fusion engine on it...
Then, he buried a more advanced spacecraft on Mars and wrote a series of texts on it.
"Your father can only help so much." He sighed: "Quit."
