"Why would you bother yourself and resist these things? Instead of arguing against the possibility, why not accept it?"
"I know you are trying very hard to convince yourself that what I am saying is all fallacy and sophistry. But have you ever thought that being able to see things is the same as touching things with your hands?"
"To the touch of the same thing, some people feel it is hard and some people feel it is soft. This has nothing to do with the thing itself and has nothing to do with cognition. It is purely related to the thickness of the skin."
"By analogy, the world we see is different. It's not that our eyes are different, nor that our brains are different. Then isn't there only one conclusion?"
"Everyone's eyes emit different things, just like electromagnetic waves of different frequencies."
"After all, the light is the same."
With an ugly face, Lin An didn't respond to Ander on the other side.
At this moment, he only felt that the disgust in his heart was getting stronger. Every word Ander said seemed to be half true and false. Although he could still find logical refutations, the logic in his perception was also contradictory.
Think, verify, overturn, and reorganize logic.
Not only was he overturning what Ender said, he was also overturning his own knowledge.
Especially as Ander gave more and more information, Lin An realized that these really pointed to an answer that he could not accept.
It's like striking while the iron is hot.
A few seconds later, Ander suddenly stood up, a flash of sympathy in his eyes.
"Lin An, do you know why you feel this way? Because of the contradiction, because we actually know some things, but they are just blocked."
"Like a bug trapped in a spider's web, struggling desperately, but in vain."
"Before you, I was also in pain. The disgusting thing about this task is that you obviously think it is just against common sense.
For a special mission, you are extremely convinced that you can decipher the truth. As a result, you get deeper and deeper every step you take, and then you have to doubt yourself and everything."
"Especially when you get to the last step and string all the information together, you will collapse and discover how cruel the truth is."
Ander stepped forward, waved his right hand, and instantly transformed into a spear made of light.
"Lin An, have you ever thought about what light is?"
The light spear waved, and Ender suddenly sneered and muttered to himself.
"Theoretically speaking, light has no mass. After all, if it had mass, according to the mass-energy equation, any mass at the speed of light would be infinite and would be enough to destroy the world."
"Just like a truck, the faster it goes, the more damage it causes!"
"But in theory, light can carry energy and information."
"For example, lasers. In high-energy physics, laser irradiation on an object will release the energy it carries and excite the electron field inside the material, thereby causing damage."
"The quality of light is 0. If light plus information plus energy, the quality is still 0. This means that energy and information do not have quality!"
"How ridiculous"
"Matter can be converted into energy, and energy can also be converted into matter. It may be quantity, but it does not have the mass that matter should have!"
"Lin An, can you imagine? If we simplify this concept and say that light is also a type of energy, then an energy cluster the size of the entire galaxy would also have a mass of 0! But after it is transformed into matter, bang
With one sound, it instantly had a mass of billions, billions, billions of tons!”
After the words fell, Ander suddenly tightened his grip on the light in his hand. Hearing a bang, the light spear in his hand suddenly became as solid as
It exploded and turned into little bits of light.
Before Lin An could say anything, Ander sneered and spoke quickly again.
"Lin An, you have thought of it, right? Well, assuming we put aside this contradiction, by analogy, information has no quality, right?"
"But Lin An, you saw an explosion happening and you avoided it. You made changes through the information carried by the light, and it affected the material world. If you think about it carefully, is this really reasonable?"
"According to Cow's Law, changes in matter must involve strong participation! But a piece of information with a mass of 0, a "force" that cannot affect any matter, has affected you! Why!? Why!?"
"Even when we are storing memories, we still need to grow new synapses, just like a disk is needed to store information. But the quality of the information is obviously 0! Where is it? Where does it exist!?"
"In summary."
"Lin An, now you know why I say people can see things, isn't it because of light?"
In the darkness, Lin An's head shook. He understood Ander's final logic.
"What do you want to say"
"Light does not exist, energy does not exist, and information does not exist!? It is not that information and energy have quality, because both information and energy can affect reality, but light does not exist!?"
"Without light, naturally there is no light that carries energy but has a mass of 0!?"
“No, that’s not right either.”
"All three have quality, but the quality is so low that we can't feel it."
etc!?
Lin An was stunned, even incredulous, that the question raised by Ander made him unable to find a reasonable explanation for a while.
Assuming there is mass, but most of his knowledge still remains in the physical system of the earth, so it cannot be explained. But
If you circle back, it will be a disguised proof of the logic that "eyesight" has quality!?
"Yes or no."
"Lin An, I feel very conflicted."
"Actually, I discovered this fallacy when I was taught the modern knowledge system. On earth, people have also been aware of this problem for a long time. It's just that there is no solution. People can only turn a blind eye and skip it like an ostrich.
this problem."
"Fortunately or unfortunately, I found the answer to the question here."
"Energy has mass because energy will dissipate. When we observe, energy will exert a force on the surrounding matter."
"But light does not exist. A "thing" that obviously has no mass has an upper limit on speed. Its own mass is 0, but how can 0+1 equal 0? The wave-particle duality of light also implies this,
A "thing" that presents two states when observed and not observed is more like a concept that deceives us."
"As for maybe light can have mass"
Ender paused for a moment, and in an instant, countless stars were reflected in his eyes.
"Lin An, if light has mass and it also carries energy, then when humans first looked up at the stars, we would have been dead."
"Do you still remember the divination you discussed?"
"Any point has information about the entire universe. If we could really see this world, we would have gone crazy long ago."
"So, we're like a video camera."
"They are watching, not us"
"You're setting the stage so much to prove that we don't have free will?"
