Dream Guide

Everyone laughed, and the sound waves of laughter banged against the walls of the small cabin, surging back and forth. Although there were only a dozen or so people, it sounded like hundreds of people were laughing.

The perpetrator of the happy accident, the coal boss, tilted his head and held up a bird talon, as if trying to distinguish who was who from the fierce sound. It was about to say something when it turned its head and saw the mummified body of Ronald Cohen sitting on the chair. The firelight dancing in the joyful wind fell on the pale and withered face, like the smile of the god of death.

The coal boss was startled, and the hair on his neck exploded. His claws slipped and he almost fell off the green wood.

"Hey, wait a minute, you guys..." It flapped its wings and grabbed Aoki's hair.

People stopped laughing and looked at the crow, wondering why it became so panicked.

"Do you...do you feel that he -" it pointed at Ronald Cohen with the tip of its wing, "is laughing? And those zombies in other rooms outside, I seem to hear them laughing too...um... …”

The crow felt a little embarrassed when he saw people looking at it like a fool, "Uh-huh... Well, you know, the hearing of birds is a little more developed than humans, uh... I mean, just a little... "

People laughed again.

The crow shook its head helplessly and croaked twice. However, it heard many different laughters, echoing in the corridor outside, which were obviously not coming from people here. It could only consider itself unlucky and think that there was something wrong with its bird's nerves, but on second thought, it felt that there was really something wrong with these people's nerves: Why are they talking so much nonsense in this small cabin? You can go on the deck, bask in the sun, enjoy the lake breeze, catch a few fish, and grill the fish while discussing the issue of Gaia!

The thought of food makes it less fearful. Um? Why do I seem to smell the aroma of sauced elbow...

After the laughter, people looked at Situ again, waiting for him to continue telling stories about the Alliance of Awakeners and Master Nanke.

Situ said:

"The proposal of the multi-layer dream entropy balance theory provides a solution to the heat death problem of the universe - as long as there is a dream that is symmetrical to our universe and can be continuously amplified, and inputs the information of the universe onto the symmetrical mirror plane, This allows our universe to maintain low entropy without heading toward heat death.

This may sound complicated and involves a lot of mysterious and mysterious things. If you must describe it in simple language, you can understand it like this——

Everything in the universe we live in now, including particles, waves, energy and information, is not static, but is constantly moving. According to the second law of thermodynamics, they always move from order to disorder, and will eventually become into the most chaotic and disordered state, that is, all particles, waves, energy and information are evenly distributed throughout the universe, just like a drop of ink dropped into water, it will slowly spread out and eventually mix with the water evenly As one body. At that time the universe will die, which is called the heat death of the universe in thermodynamics.

If there is a huge dream, this dream can be extended infinitely and become a negative universe that is symmetrical to our real universe. Since the total amount of information between dreams and reality is conserved, the entropy of the universe is input into the negative universe through information. , the low entropy of this universe can be maintained. "

Except for Su Huilan, everyone was confused and confused. Aoki knew something, but he was too lazy to think about it because he had a headache. Although Mrs. Larry is very scientifically literate, she doesn't know much about dreams and spirituality, so she frowns and thinks.

"But what is the use of this theory? Who can create a dream as big as the universe?" Su Huilan said.

"Yes, it is precisely for this reason that not many people responded to the multi-layer dream entropy balance theory at the time. In addition, at that time, quantum mechanics had just begun, and the understanding of the universe was not as profound as it is today, and people did not know about black holes. Why, the theory of relativity is still receiving widespread criticism, and almost no one knows the name of Master Nanke.

However, within the Awakened Alliance, Master Nanke's theory caused an uproar. Although no one can create a dream as big as the universe, what if all mankind dreams together? What if not only humans on earth, but all life in the universe dream together? Who says that a group dream as huge as the universe cannot be produced?

The question that arises from this is, are we in a huge dream now? Is our universe a negative universe that exists to maintain the low entropy of another universe? The entropy of our universe can only increase but not decrease. Is it because the entropy of another universe is constantly being sent in? If so, then our fate is irrevocably toward death, just to keep another world alive! "

Although I still don't quite understand what Situ said, the last sentence shocked everyone deeply. Do we live just to die more decently? And die to make others live better?

This sounds great, but who can accept it? You, your relatives, your friends, your lovers, all your kind...will die! Do you die just to let another group of people (not necessarily people) you don’t know live?

"What happened next? What progress has been made in this theory?" Mrs. Larry maintained her usual serious attitude towards academics.

"Later, many hypotheses were generated from this theory, and a big debate broke out within the alliance. Some people thought that we were living in a dream and should find a way to return to the real universe. Some people thought that since group dreams can maintain the universe If the entropy of our world is low, then create a dream to maintain the low entropy of our world. Some people believe that the authority of the alliance should be maintained and ancient precepts should be followed to prevent humans from entering group dreams. The signs of the alliance's split have existed since ancient times, and Nanke The master’s theory exacerbated this phenomenon. Coupled with the frequent chaos in the world at that time, war was about to break out, and the Alliance was inevitably involved."

Situ said this in one breath, then stopped, wondering what he was thinking.

Aoki said: "I finally understand what you and Dua meant when you said that World War II might be a dream. Are you the group of people who support the view that 'human beings are in a dream and should return to the real universe'?"

Situ smiled and said, "Actually, it's that person, not that group of people."

"Ah? Are you the only one who holds this view?" Su Huilan asked curiously.

"There may be others, but no one has spoken out, or they think it is meaningless to speak out. If we are really in such a huge dream, no matter how hard we try, it will be impossible to break free and return to the upper world. What's more, Occam's razor is not dull yet, and its sharp blade will shave off this 'unnecessary increase of entities' at any time."

Situ touched his chin and laughed self-deprecatingly, as if the beard on his clean chin had been shaved by Occam's razor.

"Then what's Master Nanke's attitude?"

"Master Nanke never argued with others, and at that time the world began to fall into continuous chaos. By World War II, most of the alliance members were involved in the war, but Master Nanke disappeared."

"My father once said that Master Nanke imprisoned himself in the Sin City. Where is the Sin City?" Su Huilan asked.

Situ shook his head and said: "I don't know either. At that time, I was indeed too young and too energetic. I always wanted to figure everything out by myself, and ended up becoming a marginalized person in the alliance. Sin City has always been a legend. It is even more mysterious than the five holy places of the alliance.

Legend has it that Sin City has a gravity of sin, which can induce original sin in the spiritual world, making it impossible for consciousness to escape. Only by washing away original sin and becoming the purest consciousness can we leave. But this is just a legend and cannot withstand scrutiny. There is no standard for good and evil, so what does original sin mean?

Even if each of us is guilty, and consciousness no longer has memory after it is separated from matter, and the conscious body without memory is pure, how can the gravity of sin bind it?

So I suspect that it is actually a spiritual black hole. "
