my gilded age

Chapter 728 talks with Da Liu about "Three Body Problems", determinism and randomness. (Please subscribe)
Randomism, as you can tell from the name, means randomness.

But the truth is not that simple. In fact, in science, there is another word for this term, called determinism!
What is determinism?
What is randomism?

In the history of science, or in other words, the history of human understanding of itself and the entire universe, determinism is early.

Who decides?

What to decide?

God, God, Buddha, Jade Emperor, etc... they decide.

What is decided is the fate of human beings and even the entire earth and universe.

So, it is easy to see that isn’t determinism theology?
No.

First of all, we need to understand something: what is theology?
In the past, theology was actually science.

In the process of early understanding and exploration of the earth, humans always needed some theoretical support, right?

At that time, human beings were engaged in theological theories. To put it simply, there must be someone or something who could decide everything.

This argument later became theology, but this theology was not that unbearable. In fact, theology was a human science for a long time.

Especially when humans in theology discovered such an interesting theory as science.

So, there is something scientific here again.

What is science?

In fact, science has never been truly defined, but everyone now agrees that it is possible to discover the truth of the entire world and even the entire universe using scientific means.

Theology in the past told everyone this.

There is a man named Laplace. Who is he?
A famous scientist, astronomer, yes, he is a scientist, so he should believe in science.

However, Laplace absolutely believed in determinism.

There is such a creature that has an absolutely powerful ability. It can deduce future results based on various data given in the universe. This creature or something is called the Laplace Demon.

Why is it called a demon?

Because this thing is really a monster, if there is such a thing, then he can know everything, and can deduce the future based on the existing.

So, does it make sense?
Have!
What is the theoretical basis of Laplace's Demon?
It is cause and effect.

Using causes to deduce effects, isn't this the law of cause and effect?
Is the science of cause and effect scientific?
science.

But who says the most about cause and effect?
Religion, theology.

Just like that Newton, he is too famous, he has various laws, but he is religious, and he believes very much.

So why?
Quite simply, because although science appeared and was born, in fact, for a long period of time, science did not escape the shadow of theology.

Science still talks about cause and effect, and science has not yet come out. Even scientists, most of them are religious and have God in their hearts.

So is this science?

What Bai Shiqiu said is actually based on this point.

So, what is random theory?
It's very simple. Is the existence of life on earth random?
If it is believed to be random, then this is called random theory.

But you must know that there is a reason for the existence of life on the earth, that is, there is cause and effect, because the earth is not far or close to the sun, and it has water, air, and many conditions for the birth of life.

But the above is determinism, not randomness.

Therefore, it is really not easy to distinguish between these two theories.

Fortunately, the progress of mankind has finally given mankind the opportunity to get rid of the shackles of theology, that is, religion.

This is all thanks to the development of quantum mechanics.

Schrödinger's cat, is his cat dead?

This is an uncertain theory. Because it is uncertain, a random theory can be derived in the end.

Other, more rigorous tests have been conducted in recent years.

According to determinism, everything in the world has cause and effect. Then, the same conditions, that is, causes, will definitely produce the same results. Only then can cause and effect be established.

But in the microscopic world, when electron pairs collide with atoms.

The conditions for each test were exactly the same, but the results were never the same.

This is quantum mechanics, and this principle is explained in the form of billiard balls in the first part of Liu's "The Three-Body Problem".

There is quantum mechanics in The Three-Body Problem.

So, is this the real science fiction that Bai Shiqiu said?

Is this science fiction without theology?

Not only that, the real key is that Bai Shiqiu said it was good because this book is written in accordance with quantum mechanics, which is a random theory.

She has several characteristics. . .

Da Liu felt relaxed and happy when Bai Shiqiu told him, and could no longer hold it back, "Boss Bai, you are really amazing. I knew you had made many science fiction movies with great ideas, and they were indeed very good, but I still I want to ask, this...how did you see the randomness theory in "The Three-Body Problem"?"

Bai Shiqiu just made a simple analysis. To be honest, it felt like he was trying to do what he likes. After all, he is not a professional, and Liu from the National People's Congress is a professional. However, such an analysis has achieved such results, so this...

Who says it's wrong to do whatever you want?

Can't you just show off?

The effect is still outstanding.

Bai Shiqiu knew that there was no need to pretend anymore at this time, so he might as well talk about his own situation, "Da Liu, um, actually I am a liberal arts student, but the reason why I know this is because I have also watched a lot of foreign and Hollywood films. science fiction film, I compared it and it was easy to understand.”

"Huh? What movie?" Da Liu was quite curious.

When Bai Shiqiu saw it, he said, "You know there is a movie starring Nicolas Cage, "The Prophet"." "This..." Liu was embarrassed.

Never seen it.

"Prophet" was a movie a few years ago, starring Nicolas Cage. You know, Uncle Cage was already an iconic figure in bad movies, but his movie is really not a bad movie.

So what is this movie about?

Just look at the name and you will know, "Prophet", just know something in advance. 50 years ago, a little girl wrote a lot of numbers on a piece of paper. 50 years later, the paper was dug out. , the result was in Cage’s hands, and he suddenly discovered.

These numbers are all dates, all are the time when the human disaster occurred, and how many people died.

After experiencing two very accurate disasters, Cage was completely sure, and then after some calculations, he finally knew that mankind was going to perish.

The sun will erupt with a super large flare. To put it simply, at that moment, the sun will emit a huge amount of radiation. This radiation will kill everything on the surface of the earth. The only way to escape is to dig a mile into the mantle. This can be avoided.

However, humans have never dug so deep, and we have never even touched the mantle.

So what to do?
It turned out that all this was done by aliens. In the end, Cage, his children and another person's daughter, a boy and a girl, were picked up by aliens. They survived, but everyone else died. .

Is this a sci-fi movie?
This is a religious movie!
But on the surface, it is a science fiction movie.

The classification is also divided into science fiction movies.

So what does this mean?

After listening to Bai Shiqiu's story, Da Liu slapped his thigh and said, "Determinism!"

"Prophet" is a deterministic science fiction movie. In this movie, who is the prophet?

It's an alien, and what did the alien do?

They are simply gods, everything they encounter is accurate, and they help humans in the end, especially at the end, when they take off the disguise of their human skin and still have the shape of wings on their backs.

They are angels, or they are simply... Laplace's Demon.

You know, this is a Hollywood sci-fi movie, really sci-fi, but is it really?

By extension, what do many Hollywood science fiction movies look like?

What do aliens look like?

Aliens are awesome, very awesome. They are simply the gods of us people on earth. They decide everything.

There are too many movies of this type, including Keanu Reeves' "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

They are all similar, that is, these films are more or less religious, and they are all deterministic, not random.

When Bai Shiqiu talked about it, Da Liu understood everything. Now...

"Your billiards and Tomoko, actually..."

"It's all random theory, but to be honest, this is my idea. What if I think it right."

"What should I do when Tomoko is filming?"

"Polyprism, something like this, I believe in Boss Bai."

"Hehe... Okay, then, I think there seems to be a bit of a... character disconnect between your first part and the last two parts, so it's not easy to shoot."

"Then it depends on your ability, Boss Bai. However, I absolutely believe in Boss Bai. You are just like me, very patriotic."

"Ah? Does this matter have anything to do with patriotism?"

The two chatted happily.

This should be like becoming friends.

To say that Bai Shiqiu's method of conquering Da Liu was really fierce, it was a direct bombardment of frontal theories and nothing else.

Da Liu originally thought that Bai Shiqiu was just a little smart, but he never expected that this person would have such unique insights, which was amazing.

Is this still an actor?

Is this still a company owner?
This is a man with many women around him...ahem...

Forget it, but Liu wanted to ask one last question, "Boss Bai, can you tell me? What are you trying to do so hard? Isn't it just patriotism?"

After hearing this, Bai Shiqiu laughed loudly and said: "There must be patriotism, but what I really think about is our Chinese science fiction film. This science fiction film is still a completely different film from the past. Our film is A film that is completely free of theological determinism. This is the charm of your book, a charm that I recognize. I think this film can subvert the science fiction film market around the world!"

As soon as these words came out, Da Liu nodded, "I want to applaud you, Boss Bai."

How could Bai Shiqiu not laugh?

Let's go out and have something to eat, whatever you want.

Just when Bai Shiqiu and Da Liu were hooking up, and then Da Liu said bluntly, you can change it any way you like without giving me face.

Bai Shiqiu finally had someone come to see him. It was his assistant.

"Ok?"

"Boss, please call me back."

"Wherever she says, I can go directly there."

"That's fine too."

Bai Shiqiu was a little confused. It was actually Sister Ning who invited her. This was so strange. Forget it, it was a business deal anyway, so he would go over and talk about it.

Besides, there are still some things that need Sister Ning's help. He is going to make an absolute masterpiece when filming "The Three-Body Problem" this time, so he must gather the best resources in the country.

Thinking of this, he said goodbye to Da Liu and drove to the place decided by Sister Ning. . .
