Beneath Deep Space

"What's wrong with you, you seem to be a little drunk..."

"Did you enjoy this party?" Siya asked quietly. This was the first time she saw Xiao Zuo's drunken expression, and she quickly made him a cup of scented tea.

From what she knew, Xiao Zuo would never fail to attend such gatherings.

"Because I solved a big problem in my heart!"

Xiao Zuo supported his dizzy head with his hands and said with a smile: "I found that when talking to smarter people, you don't need any special communication methods. Asking directly is the best way. And the questions they are thinking about are also very interesting……"

When he talked about this issue, he seemed to have touched an itch and he became gushing: "At the beginning of the party, the mathematicians first expressed their contempt for the physicists."

"Contempt?" Siya asked doubtfully.

"The famous Mr. Rimbaud, you know, published a particle physics article a few days ago about extra dimensions, which is the legendary...L5 and above technology. He wanted to show it off, but was rejected by mathematicians I think it’s bullshit, but at least it’s bullshit using equations.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zuo was in a good mood. Of course he was on the side of mathematicians, and belittling physicists was their greatest joy. The most important thing is that the girl can understand his words, which brings a special pleasure.

"What happened next?" As expected, Siya suddenly became interested.

She is still very curious about the gossip of these top people.

Dr. Rimbaud, Professor Ding Yidong, Professor Heigl, Professor Roman... These first-generation geniuses who started on the moon are still truly top-notch figures today. It is not easy to be their students.

And one thing she finds very interesting is that the new humans have only scratched the surface of the genetic dynamics of L4, and they want to play with the later stuff. Although these things are becoming more and more difficult, the progress is like a snail crawling... The abstraction of the extra-dimensional world is already unimaginable to ordinary people.

Perhaps it is this curiosity that is the driving force behind the progress of new humanity.

"Dr. Rimbaud still has the same temper and argues hard. Of course he can't argue with mathematicians, because the foundation of physics is indeed not very solid and relies largely on guesswork. He can only extend the problem to reductionism and let the majority of comrades in arms Join the fight together.”

"He believes that...only physics can explain various things in the universe, from astronomy and geography to the molecular structure of the grape grass he just ate...Only physics can completely explain it."

"You know reductionism... He believes that the essence of society is life, the essence of life is chemistry, and the essence of chemistry is physics, so he thinks physics is the most awesome thing."

Speaking of happiness, Xiao Zuo imitated Dr. Rimbaud's original words: "As long as we find a grand unified physical theory, all the secrets in the world can be known! This is our ultimate goal! Mathematics is just a tool... ...Biology, of course not biology! Not even chemistry!”

"But someone soon jumped out, it was the biologist Mr. Roman, who believed that reductionism was not necessarily correct. They even believed that physicalism was not correct!"

"Because our self-awareness has not yet been fully described by any system, which involves strong intellectual barriers... Physics alone may not be enough."

"Moreover, physics can only describe how the universe came into being, but it cannot describe why the universe came into being. Why is it the way it is now? Why is it not like this other way? Why?"

Xiao Zuo spit out a lot of nouns and expressed his doubts at the same time.

In this era, these terms are no longer considered to be profound things, and they are basically in the popular education. Thea held her chin up and listened with great interest.

She thinks that a man who thinks seriously like this is charming and cute. Maybe the aesthetic in Noah itself is like this...

She asked again: "These things that physics cannot explain are philosophical questions, and then they involve ultimate questions, right? Philosophical questions have always been difficult to prove."

"Yeah, the ultimate question...you guessed it right."

Xiao Zuo's face turned slightly gloomy: "Then they began to discuss the things they had discussed with the Sower Civilization. Unfortunately, we have not experienced that... so far, the most glorious time of New Humanity."

Yes, so far, those few hours have become legendary and are often discussed...

Even Yu Yifeng had to admit that the philosophical discussion with the sower turned into a glorious moment for the entire civilization.

At least it is unprecedented, and it is not yet known whether there will be others coming later.

Xiao Zuo showed a very regretful expression on his face for not being able to witness that time with his own eyes.

But he quickly shook off the emotion and continued telling what he had heard at the party.

Listening to the debates of the top people in civilization, even if he was just observing and not speaking, he felt the heaviness of an impending storm.

Almost everyone is speaking freely and discussing the truth in their hearts, just like the collision between their ideal countries. Standing at this level, great scientists have learned more and have a vague guess about the world.

As large as the observable universe, as small as the Planck length.

All the questions sound completely unfounded. When mediocre people hear it, they will only say, "These people have brain problems." But they can only be those mediocre people.

They never knew that the entire world was ruled by smart people who made rules and regulations.

This collision of thoughts actually made Xiao Zuo feel boundless murderous intent!

Tiny people are describing the entire universe with wisdom, but their limited wisdom inevitably makes this description incomplete. It's like a grasshopper jumping in a bowl. No matter how high it jumps, it only reaches a certain height, which is ridiculous.

But this kind of "jumping" itself is a kind of great courage.

They have become philosophers. Some people believe that we can never know the ultimate question.

There are also a group of people who directly declare that there is no ultimate at all...

What God should be like, and what God should be like. This kind of "God" is not the kind described by religion, but "nature".

These lunatics are actually telling God what to do?

The huge impact made Xiao Zuo stunned. He had to lament that everyone was more bold and absurd than he imagined, and the collision of various ideas was like a shocking wave...

That is a sign of the impending collapse of an ideology!

Fortunately, an elder nearby immediately woke him up and signaled with a smile that he got over in time.

"Until now, I'm still covered in cold sweat. I almost died suddenly! Sudden death!" Xiao Zuo described what he heard with excitement, his face turned red.

"...But I feel a deeper and unique beauty. There are many things that I have never thought of before."

This feeling is hard to describe in words, and I even want to do it again.

Because of his high IQ, his memory is very good. Basically, after listening to it once, he can recite it exactly the same. In this process, a face turned from red to white, then red again, and even the heartbeat accelerated again. I felt the murderous intention again, and I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe!

"So... what's the answer? The answer to the ultimate question." Siya also asked nervously.

"I do not know."

After a while, Xiao Zuo relaxed his breath and spread his hands: "During the debate, we gradually leaned towards the pessimist side. It is too far away, too far away... We don't even know what the ultimate problem is. Where does the answer come from..."

"I really admire Dr. Rimbaud. Under such tremendous pressure, he still vigorously refutes and firmly believes in the truth of his reductionism."

Siya stopped asking questions and seemed to be lost in thought.

The smartest people on the Noah actually believed that the future was pessimistic... This view made her a little uncomfortable.

"At this time, I finally couldn't help it anymore and asked: If you don't know the ultimate question and don't know the answer, aren't you... anxious?" Xiao Zuo sighed and said.

He often thinks about these issues secretly, and he is also pessimistic. The philosophy tree is too illusory and grand.

But living in this world is very beautiful, very good... If living is just for survival, it is too unhappy and boring. What is the difference between it and a stone?

Xiao Zuo let out a long sigh: "I may have asked an inappropriate question. Everyone was silent. After a long time, Captain Yu said: You are... anxious about this question. Why aren't you anxious? Especially if you know More and more, I feel even more anxious when I know for sure that I will never know the answers to these questions in my life.”

"I'm so anxious that I can't sleep at night. During the day, I'm physically disturbed and feel drowsy, but I can't help but think about a question that I don't know the answer to, and I don't know the question."

"After another long silence, everyone suddenly laughed collectively."

Xiao Zuo applauded nervously: "Mr. Yu said again: Later, I gradually figured out that the ultimate is great, vast, and boundless... How can the finite pursue the infinite? Our pursuit is just Move forward a little bit on this path."

"The Sower has long said that we ourselves... are part of the search for the answer."

This volume should be the last volume of the book. It will be quite long, and I don’t know how many words it will be.

Run to the center of the galaxy and the book will end, with no new maps. After all, the Milky Way is already big enough, so supernova clusters and the like are meaningless, just numerical differences.
