Nodding, Vincent said: "Yes, many people have heard more or less about black holes, but most of them don't know much about it. What I want to say is that in the scientific community, black holes
For a long time, it was just a calculated inference, and no one has actually seen it. Although more and more information can prove that black holes are real, as long as humans do not see them for a day, we cannot be 100% sure.
I’m sure it’s real!”
"Like aliens?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng, who was born in a liberal arts class, tilted his head. He didn't quite understand what the other party meant, but he just tried to bring the topic within the scope that he could understand.
"Yes and no."
Shaking his head slightly, Vincent also saw that Lin Cheng didn't know much about this field, so he could only try to say in a way that the other party could understand: "Although aliens and black holes sound inextricably linked to the universe,
Although they are closely related, the two are completely different types from the perspective of us humans. There is neither official documentation nor theoretical confirmation of the existence of aliens. Until now, everything is still conjecture by humans.
Black holes are different. As early as 1916, a hundred years ago, astronomers had used calculations to derive the theoretical basis for the true existence of black holes. After so many years, the only thing we lack is an opportunity to see their true form.
…”
Although he didn’t know much about astronomy, Lin Cheng was a serious college student. He could understand the meaning of the other party’s words after a little thought, so he nodded and asked: “I kind of understand what you mean…
...However, is there any necessary connection between what you said and what we are discussing? You don’t want to tell me that this apocalyptic sinkhole is also related to the black hole you just mentioned, do you?”
"of course not!"
Hearing this, Vincent quickly waved his hand, "Black holes are black holes, and apocalyptic sinkholes are apocalyptic sinkholes. They are at least tens of millions of light-years apart. It is impossible to have any connection! The reason why I discuss this with you
The black hole wants to tell you that in fact, as early as ten years ago, we have captured and combined the true appearance of the black hole into an image, but it has never been announced to the public..."
"No...just wait!"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng's expression was startled. After he came to his senses, he quickly interrupted the other party and asked: "Although I don't know much about this black hole, I also know its status in the world of astrophysics and even the entire human society. If
If photos of black holes had been taken as early as ten years ago, how could such a huge discovery that could shock the world not be announced until the end of the world?"
"Why……"
Knowing that Lin Cheng would definitely ask this question, Vincent suddenly sighed deeply, and then heard him say in a low tone: "This is what I want to tell you, the 'information gap' exists everywhere and in any country.
Sometimes the 'information gap' can help us make money. Just like some coastal businessmen in your country at the end of the last century used the 'information gap' to make money inland, while Western countries used the 'information gap' to make money crazily in third world countries.
!In the scientific research community, the 'information gap' exists passively. The reason why many cutting-edge scientific research results are not announced as soon as possible is largely because the results are immature. Releasing them hastily can easily lead to a series of negative consequences.
The reaction, at worst, may even trigger turmoil in the entire society! Most of the latest scientific research results published in the scientific research community are actually products from ten years ago. These products have often been passed through countless times before being made available to the public.
After testing, it will be slowly introduced to the market after confirming that there will be no major problems. The same is true for photos of black holes. What kind of reaction will a seemingly inconspicuous picture trigger? This requires a long period of research by the scientific research community.
They have time to study and calculate, and during this time they still need to use this photo to correct many previous scientific research results. This kind of vast workload will never be understood by the outside world. Most people just need to live a good life.
Just live your own life, and then slowly accept the changes that scientific research has made on your life. You will never be able to see the scientific researchers and their graves standing behind these scientific research results that have changed human life..."
After listening to Vincent's story, Lin Cheng's mouth opened slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
In fact, in the information age before the end of the world, you can find clues about many things if you pay attention, such as the cutting-edge technologies announced by the scientific research community. In fact, some people have already learned through various channels that these so-called "cutting-edge technologies" are
The scientific research community is already filled with leftovers, but some people know about these things, and some people don't pay attention to them at all, and Lin Cheng is precisely the group of people who don't pay attention to these things.
So he felt very shocked after listening to Vincent's story. On the one hand, he suddenly learned that the technologies he came into contact with before the apocalypse were actually leftovers that he had played with ten years ago. On the other hand, because
Because, he has already guessed what the other party is going to say next through the other party's narration!
Without noticing Lin Cheng's thoughts, Vincent continued: "So when I discovered this apocalyptic sinkhole, I had already guessed that within ten years at least, the secrets in this sinkhole would be impossible.
It will be made public. You may ask why so many people have died here, why they still refuse to tell the world so that everyone can prepare in advance, but what I want to tell you is that in the scientific research world, hundreds of people died for a project.
Thousands of people are actually very normal. These people who died in the sinkhole are just a drop in the bucket compared to some more dangerous projects. What's more, before the end of the world truly comes, who can imagine this result? Even me
A so-called 'senior scholar' who has been in the biological research community for decades could not have guessed that things would eventually lead to such a completely uncontrollable situation..."
"I see……"
At this point, Lin Cheng has completely understood why the other party used black holes as an example. Although there is no connection between the apocalypse and black holes, they are the same thing in the scientific research community, that is, they must not be studied thoroughly.
It was made public beforehand.
Lin Cheng believed that there must be other considerations among the top leaders of various countries. After all, the threat and proliferation of creatures like Gnawers are too strong. It would be difficult to convince the public if they just refused to announce it just because there was no thorough research. However,
This is no longer the focus of Lin Cheng's attention. Anyway, he has now reached the source of all this happening. With the clues he collected along the way, he believes that he has at least a 70% chance of being able to end it all!
