Chapter nine hundred and eighty fourth absolute time
"I have a guess that subverts all our current cognitions." Xiao Yu said, "In our universe, there is no past, no present, and no future. I think time should be just an illusory concept, just an illusion.
."
"The concept of illusion..." Ares muttered to himself. He exhausted all his thinking abilities, but still could not understand this sentence thoroughly.
Xiao Yu ignored Ares's doubts, but continued to talk to himself: "If our previous guesses are correct, then it will obviously bring some contradictions. The most critical point is that what we established
Any model of the universe will become incomplete, and the operating mechanism of the universe will be clouded in front of us. But I have an idea that can solve this problem. This idea is very simple, as long as the concept of absolute time is broken,
Everything became harmonious.”
Time can change. This has been explained in the human science and technology system of the earth age. As the speed of movement increases, the phenomenon of clock slowing down will occur, and time will become slower and slower.
But what absolute time explains does not conflict with this phenomenon.
The so-called absolute time means that any matter, any individual, and any life in the universe are all on the same time horizon. If the beginning of the Big Bang is the starting point of time, then the time we are currently living in is one hundred and thirty
About 700 million years. At the same time, any matter anywhere in the universe should also be at this point in time.
To give another simple analogy, your time now is 7 pm, then the time of your friends around you will also be 7 pm. Absolute time means that time is a unified concept, no matter where the individual is,
It will not affect this point, so the term "simultaneously" is used.
"This is the concept of absolute time." Xiao Yu said, "Absolute time is easy to understand. We have lived in this universe for hundreds of thousands of years following the concept of absolute time. There has never been anything wrong. It is foreseeable.
In the future, we will continue to follow the concept of absolute time. We almost subconsciously think that it is correct. Well, the various timing methods are just elaborations on time. Perhaps because of the different timing methods, it is afternoon here.
Six o'clock. It is three o'clock in the morning at your place, but this does not affect our time synchronization, that is to say, we are all in the "now"."
"But I think the concept of absolute time is wrong. Simply put, different individuals can live in different time periods. The time of each individual is different. There is no such thing as the same time in this universe. It is possible that we
Existing at this moment... Well, it is now 13,736,530,545 years after the Big Bang. This is our understanding of time. We are living here.
But another civilization millions of light-years away may have lived 13.6 billion years after the Big Bang. They live in our past, and we live in their future.
There may be another civilization that lived 14 billion years after the Big Bang. In this case, we live in their past and they live in our future.”
Ares waved his hands repeatedly: "Stop, stop, don't talk to me about these things. My head is still thinking about important things about the future of civilization. It would be irresponsible for you to mess up my head now."
.I’ll call Ruto and No. 4 and No. 5. You can talk to them, I’ll leave first.”
Ares left in a hurry, and Xiao Yu felt a little funny.
"It seems that people's development skills are really different... He can even conceive of such a complex strategy, but he can't even understand this simple truth... This guy Ares."
Xiao Yu waited for a while, and the images of Ruto and No. 5 appeared in front of Xiao Yu.
"I have seen all the relevant video materials of your conversation with Ares." Ruto said, "I have to admit that your idea is indeed amazing. But I have some questions to ask you."
"Ask." Xiao Yu said.
"If it is true that different individuals live in different time periods as you said, then why have we not discovered this?" Ruto said. "Don't you think that every person you encounter
Civilization, every individual, happens to live in the same time period as you, right?"
Ruto's question is very simple and hits the point. Since different individuals live in different time periods, why haven't we discovered it yet? Taking the Big Bang as the starting point of time can be believed to be a fairly common way of timing. Basically
Every advanced civilization in the world will explore the Big Bang and the starting point of time. The universe itself has left enough clues for civilization to explore these things. If there is a civilization that survives 140 years after the Big Bang,
billion years, and the other civilization lived 14.1 billion years after the Big Bang - there is a time gap of 100 million years between the two civilizations, so when these two civilizations meet, as long as some simple
This problem can be discovered through the exchange of scientific and technological information. But... Xiao Yu has encountered many civilizations, why has he never discovered this?
"My guess is that the flow rate of time is also uncertain." Xiao Yu said lightly, "You have to know that in this concept, there is no absolute time, nor is there the concept of simultaneity. When two people are at different times,
When civilizations or individuals from different periods meet, time will quickly unify between the two civilizations. For the civilization that lived in the past, which also lived 14 billion years after the Big Bang,
When they meet this civilization that lived 14.1 billion years after the Big Bang, their time standards have already reached unity with this civilization. Therefore, neither civilization will notice any abnormalities."
"Are the flow rates of time different..." Ruto said, "Then there is another question, why don't we detect any signs of time accelerating? Using the example just now, the time of the second civilization only passed a short time.
One hundred million years have passed since the first civilization - why didn’t the second civilization discover the acceleration of time?”
"Still using the theory just now to explain." Xiao Yu said: "The encounter mentioned here does not mean that two civilizations truly stand together, but whether one civilization has entered the observation range of the second civilization. What it means for
It is still unknown whether there will be a second civilization. Unknown things have the characteristics of superposition of multiple states. Before you finally see it, you cannot determine which state it is in. But once you see it, you are aware of it.
, it is no longer unknown to you, and it will return to the same time period as you. Therefore, the second civilization cannot detect any signs of time acceleration."
Ruto was silent, and after a while he continued to ask: "But... for the first civilization, everything is known. They are all very clear about what happened. Is it just because of the second civilization?
If we observe them, will they develop in different directions? In this case, is the universe materialistic or idealistic?"
"Whether it is materialism or idealism." Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "Observation is a behavior shared by both parties. The second civilization observing the first civilization will cause changes in the first civilization, and the first civilization observing the second civilization
Civilization will also cause changes in the second civilization. For both of them, the observed object is a process of collapse from a superposition state to a deterministic state."
"In that case, our universe is really chaotic..." Ruto sighed, "We not only have to be affected by observers, but we also have to bear the influence from the future. At the same time, we also have to bear the influence of the past...
…”
"At the same time, we are also one of the perpetrators of chaos." Xiao Yu said, "This is a mutual process. Every individual in the universe plays a vital role in the evolution of the universe. Perhaps
, this is the real chaos theory.”
Ruto thought for a moment, put aside the topic, and asked: "So, how do you explain the events left behind by the logical weapon and musical civilization?"
"It's very simple." Xiao Yu said, "After Logic Weapon chose me as the executor and decided to provide me with some help, the music civilization met me thousands of years ago and left this paragraph inside me.
information."
"You mean that there are two you in this universe at the same time, one is you who became the executor, and the other is you who met the musical civilization?" Ruto asked.
"Wrong, wrong." Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "After breaking absolute time, there is no concept of simultaneity in this universe. From a timeline perspective, when I encounter music civilization, the logic weapon still chooses me to be the executor.
I was who I was when I met music civilization before, and I am still who I am now. There is only one me in the universe."
Ruto was silent for almost half an hour this time. After that, Ruto said: "I roughly understand what you mean. But I'm still not clear about the specific details. Well, wait until I get the scientific and technological information you left behind.
After digesting it, I guess you can understand it. But... I have a more important question."
"How do you verify it?" Ruto asked, "Since time only changes under circumstances unknown to you, and it returns to normal as soon as you notice it, how do you verify your theory? Science, after all, is not just
It can be solved by guessing.”
"There is a way to verify it, and you need to do this." Xiao Yu said lightly.
PS: Just a reminder, this is a novel. This is just a novel. Don’t take the things mentioned in it seriously, and don’t try to verify them...
