Chapter 264 Beyond the Rules, Playing the Starry Sky
All living beings believe that everything in the vast universe has its most basic operating logic.
Or you can say.
Whether starting from science, philosophy, religion, magic, superpowers, or practicing martial arts, etc., or from conventional or extraordinary routes, or even just from the most simple cognitive perspective of the general public, "It will rain and the earth will be potholes."
Observing and understanding the world, all sentient beings will eventually come to the conclusion that there must be some underlying operating laws, or what can be called a basic law framework, among millions of things.
Referred to as,rule model.
Regardless of laws or regulations, their essence is the various relationships and connections that are bound to be stable and recurring in a universal form in the development process of objective things.
In the ancient times of Blue Star, classical scientists used the process of [observation-experiment-inference-verification] to try to understand and describe the physical properties of various real things in nature such as their speed, position, mass, etc.
, and believes that these properties are absolutely certain. No matter whether anyone observes or not, the external world and all the things that exist in it will continue to operate in accordance with certain laws and will not change forever.
In philosophical theory, this is called [realism].
After devouring thousands of civilizations, Mu Cang gradually developed some of his own understanding and understanding of the two concepts of so-called 'intelligent civilization' and 'technology'.
He believes that the so-called intelligent civilization is essentially a giant complex system composed of many complex small systems that can constantly change and have no fixed form.
Technology, whether it is so-called science and technology in the conventional sense, or so-called exercises that promote the evolution of oneself and the race, are essentially forces that force nature to change into the form desired by intelligent life.
As the basic characteristic of technological civilization, smart civilization possesses the unity of opposites between technology and natural laws.
And Mu Cang also 'saw' amidst the vast 'knowledge' information of these civilizations.
In the past countless thousands of years, ancient philosophers and sages from various civilizations and ethnic groups scattered throughout the vast starry sky, including Blue Star humans, have been repeatedly arguing and trying to determine... the origin of everything in the universe.
The specific characteristics and properties of reality' and 'reality'.
In the end, they summarized four relatively complete characteristics of the rule model:
First, it is easy to summarize and understand.
Second, it contains fewer adjustable elements.
Third, it is consistent with all existing observational facts.
Fourth, it can make detailed predictions and predictions about observational facts that can be discovered in the future.
For example, a certain physical theory is a corresponding mathematical model and a set of rule models that connect this model with observational facts.
The giant complex system called [Human Civilization], under the guidance of this seemingly stable set of rules and model characteristics, continues to discover various natural rule models in the outside world, constantly summarizes and calculates laws and theories, and constantly creates a
Each tool has its own function, thereby continuously promoting the development of civilization step by step, and eventually heading into space and setting foot in the vast universe.
But unfortunately, just like a city in Europe once banned people from keeping goldfish in spherical fish tanks, because it was believed that this would cause the goldfish to get a distorted image when looking out from such a fish tank.
In fact, intelligent life cannot confirm that the external world it feels is more real than what a goldfish in a spherical fish tank feels.
Because intelligent life itself cannot exclude itself from its understanding of the world.
The cognition of intelligent life is generated through feeling, thinking, and reasoning.
For example, human beings' cognition of the outside world is not produced directly, but is shaped by something like a spherical fish tank - the "interpretation structure of the human brain".
Human beings have never actually seen electrons, protons, and neutrinos; nor have they seen the inside of a brick. Even if the brick is broken open, what you see is at best another surface of the brick; nor have they seen the inside of a blue star or the sun.
What does it look like.
Nothing can guarantee that what humans see is real.
Especially after quantum mechanics shows various uncertainties and [probability] is active in the real world, it becomes increasingly difficult and even unnecessary to continue to adhere to [realism].
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]
Of course, although the world seen in a spherical fish tank is different from what people usually see, the laws of motion can still be summarized:
That is, expressing all linear motion in the outside world as curved motion and establishing a new coordinate system is just more complicated than people's usual theories.
In other words, if we think along the lines of the holographic universe theory, we can also think that the surrounding trillions of light-year space-time may be just an illusory image on the boundary of a huge high-dimensional space-time.
In this case, the situation of intelligent sentient beings in the universe will not be any better than that of goldfish in a spherical fish tank.
This also leads to a terrible fact:
That is, intelligent life cannot prove or falsify the existence or authenticity of the world.
There is no thing, force, or other person that can guarantee that any rule of the universe observed, experimented, understood and summarized by infinite intelligent beings... is truly correct.
There is no guarantee that there are really any rules in the universe.
In other words, even if there are rules, there is no guarantee of how long its ‘shelf life’ will be.
Just like in the past, humans have always believed that the gravitational acceleration of the Blue Star is 9.8 meters per square second. However, as the rocket leaves the planet and flies farther and farther, this data continues to become smaller.
Then came the industrial age, and the Blue Star humans who thought they were scientific and prosperous believed that every day in this world would inevitably experience twenty-four hours from morning to night.
But in fact, on the blue star billions of years ago, the number of hours experienced in a day was only one-third of what it was later.
If we go billions of years far away, the number of hours in a day on Blue Star will even be twice as long as it is today.
Another example is the ancient continent of Europa. There once was an astronomer named Ptolemy who proposed a model of stellar motion rules centered on blue stars.
In this model, people can 'accurately' predict the motion of stars by adding auxiliary wheels [deferents] to the planet's perfect circular orbit [epicycle].
But this kind of "accuracy" is only relatively accurate, and it is still relatively rough and rough.
As time goes by, if you want to make it consistent with observational facts and people's daily feelings, you have to add dozens of layers of deferents.
It's really a bit cumbersome and stupid.
So in later generations, this rule model was replaced by the new sun-centered model proposed by Copernicus, and it became an old thing that people would deeply remember and respect, but would no longer use it extensively.
After the time came to modern times, when they wanted to study the motion of celestial bodies in the Milky Way, Blue Star astronomers discovered that the heliocentric model was far less useful than the model with the center of the Milky Way as the origin.
So the heliocentric theory was replaced.
In short, Mu Cang believes that all the rules thought by all sentient beings in the universe, including humans, or all the scientific research conducted to discover this rule, are just descriptions in an extremely short and extremely limited time and space.
This is just what has been observed so far.
"The rules of the universe..."
Mu Cang, who had been thinking quietly all day, slowly raised his eyes and looked at the twinkling stars in the distant void with his extra-dimensional eye, which was much larger than the star system.
Vaguely, this monotonous and deep starry sky suddenly turned into an endless sea composed of [unknown].
Among them, intelligent civilizations were born one after another due to various reasons, like clusters of small coral reefs that accidentally burst out in the depths of the ocean.
As time went by, these coral reefs gradually grew larger and became coral islands.
Later, the coral island became the Great Barrier Reef.
Later, it became a real continent covering thousands of miles and capable of supporting hundreds of millions of sentient beings.
In this way, in such a chaotic situation both within themselves and the outside world, intelligent beings continue to fight through the waves in this endless ocean called "Unknown", expand their territory (cognitive) scope, and constantly create and create things that surpass themselves.
Then drive yourself beyond the various things and technologies of the past.
Countless past unknowns have been cracked, countless past darknesses have been illuminated, and countless past dangers have been leveled, and finally one by one they have become a force that intelligent civilization can touch and control.
However, the paradox is...the greater the territory (cognition) of intelligent beings expands, the greater their contact with the [unknown] sea, and the greater the unknown, darkness, and danger they face.
The geocentric theory appeared, but was soon replaced by the heliocentric theory. Later, humans discovered that even the solar system was only on the edge of the Milky Way. Later, humans discovered that the Milky Way was only a small part of the Virgo supercluster. Later, the Virgo supergalaxy was discovered.
The cluster is also only part of the Laniakea Supercluster.
With the development of civilization, intelligent sentient beings have become more powerful, but the [unknown] has also become more infinite and seems to have no end.
“The little bacteria in the petri dish, even if they reproduce for hundreds of generations and summarize various laws of the universe, they still can’t really figure out what is going on in their world.
Perhaps, as their creator, the medical student threw the paper into the trash can in anger because of too many plagiarism checks.
Civilizations collapse and ethnic groups are destroyed.”
Buzz——
Mu Cang slowly raised his palm, and suddenly, a blazing star with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers appeared out of thin air.
On its surface, billions of the most ordinary carps appeared out of thin air, not caring about the terrifying high temperature around them, jumping and playfully as if they were in a normal lake.
He lowered his head, looked down at this tiny star, looked down at these fragile little lives, and said leisurely:
“Isn’t it true for the thousands of sentient beings living in this so-called ‘vast universe’?
Could everything that sentient beings think of today be caused by their own insignificance?
Are the so-called laws, the so-called iron rules, really so unbreakable?"
As soon as he said this, the stars and billions of carps disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been born.
In fact, Mu Cang did not consume half of his energy or use any celestial power to create these.
Just relying on thinking and the gentle rhythm of endless light, this star that can spread infinite brilliance but cannot harm ordinary carbon-based life was born in such a natural and instant.
So unscientific, so contrary to logic, so... beyond the rules.
Just like the edible watermelon-flavored neutron star he created using endless light.
It obviously has huge gravity, temperature, magnetism, and is indeed composed of neutrons, but it can be safely eaten and even digested. Even the most vulnerable ant can crawl around on it.
receive any harm.
Can so-called science explain how to create a neutron star that science cannot explain?
If it can, then this neutron star cannot be explained by science.
If not, then the method of making this neutron star is beyond scientific explanation.
But the most ordinary human being can explain how to create something that he cannot explain.
For example, a grown man can easily explain to anyone how to make a child, but he knows nothing about the neural structure and biology of a child.
'Why does he think?'
'Maybe it's because it has a soul.'
This also proves that science that cannot transcend logic cannot truly explain everything.
At the same time, this also proves that science that exists within an isolated system will most likely not be able to transcend this system.
But the endless light, or the materialized spirituality deep in Mu Cang's soul, implies some mysterious power that transcends the isolated system of this universe.
In other words, behind tens of millions of things and behind the four basic forces, there is probably a certain ‘noumenon’ that transcends all rules.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the spiritual materialization, it can slightly touch or even use the power of this unknown 'ontology'.
Every system has its own first principles.
It is a fundamental proposition or assumption that cannot be defaulted or violated.
"So my root spirituality has already touched the first principles hidden behind all things in the universe and various rules."
Mu Cang turned his eyes, looked at the starry sky around him, and murmured softly:
"My... heart moves, and the stars... also move."
Wow——
In an instant, all the shining stars within a thousand light-year radius with him as the center seemed to be tightly bound by invisible climbing ropes with millions of locks. As his eyes turned,
And suddenly ignoring the three major effects of time dilation, size shrinkage and mass increase in the theory of relativity, electric beams that exceeded the speed of light billions of times suddenly started dancing wildly.
This scene covering thousands of light-years around it is extremely majestic, so majestic that it can defeat the mind of mortal life.
Even the immeasurable starlight emitted by these stars when flying faster than the speed of light completely ignored the limit of the speed of light and suddenly crossed a distance of thousands of light years and stacked up in front of Mu Cang, causing the surroundings to instantly become extremely sparkling, almost as if
An infinite sea of light composed of countless star points.
In the depths of this universe, countless brilliant starlights are dancing and dancing, and the starlights are as beautiful as a song, as if they are playing a silent piece of music.
A piece of music that can only be appreciated by a great being like Mu Cang who transcends mortal imagination.
The many civilizations and ethnic groups surrounding these thousands of stars fell into endless shock and fear when they flew together at billions of times faster than the speed of light.
The changes in the outside world are so strange and bizarre that they can no longer describe or understand them.
I can only passively panic, howl, and pray.
The next moment, these splendid stars ignored all the rules and restrictions of the universe, spanned dozens, hundreds, and thousands of light-years, came to Mu Cang's eyes, and were mercilessly swallowed up by him.
The dozens or hundreds of intelligent groups contained in it were also swallowed up by him at the same time.
At this moment, the [Infinite Attributes] system started on time.
Buzz!
Mu Cang's huge body immediately surged out of a circle of time and space waves, rumbling and covering the vast surrounding stars that were completely empty.
[Master: Mu Cang]
[Physique: 24 Billion Stars]
[Spiritual Soul: 24 Billion Stars]
At this moment, he fully understood the true power of the materialized spirituality deep in his soul:
It does not require the participation of energy, matter, information, and other basic forces of the universe.
Using one's own mind to subjectively break the objective reality and reverse the rules and models of the universe, it creates a causeless effect.
