Earth Era

?In today's regular meeting, Zhang Hong, the head of the institute, counted today's observation data, and then said: "I have a new idea about the phenomenon of the abnormal disappearance of stars. ∽↗∽↗, I can't help my The idea found no evidence, so I am not responsible for the authenticity of the idea. I just put it up in the hope that it can bring some inspiration to everyone.”

"Now the focus on abnormal disappearing celestial bodies is all about their distant distances. Everyone is trying to find something from the distance, using dust cloud occlusion theory or gravitational lensing, space mechanism and other things to answer this matter, but Don't forget that distance also means time. Those stars that disappeared abnormally all existed in the early days of the universe billions of years ago. The environment of the universe at that time may be different from the environment of the universe now. Therefore, you may be able to Looking for some possible explanations in terms of time."

The principle of "distance is a one-to-one ratio of time" followed by the disappearance of stars by the reason of changes in the cosmic environment is also barely explainable, so everyone began to discuss Zhang Hong's new ideas.

This idea is just a general directional proposal, and it is very difficult to verify it, but it is not a new direction for verification. But Zhao Lan felt that this explanation was untenable. Because there is one most obvious loophole, there is no way to answer: If it is due to the abnormal disappearance of such stars due to different cosmic environments, then...why have humans never discovered this phenomenon before? Why hasn't this phenomenon occurred so intensively until now?

Any attempt to explain such phenomena in terms of "necessity" will be countered by this logic.

"Director Zhang, I don't agree with your point of view." Zhao Lan stood up and said, "I think... the abnormal disappearance of stars is not an inevitable event, that is to say. It is not necessarily due to the evolution of the universe. Caused by certain mechanisms that will appear. Whether it is the theory of nebula occlusion, or the theory of gravitational lensing. Or the theory of the cosmic environment you put forward now, I can refute it with a logic: if the truth is so, then why We have never discovered this phenomenon before? Why have we never discovered a star that has completely disappeared due to the occlusion of dust, or a star that has disappeared due to changes in the cosmic environment?"

Zhao Lan's words silenced all the colleagues who participated in the regular meeting. Because everyone found out that what Zhao Lan said seemed to be right, and it seemed to be the case.

"I think... the abnormal disappearance of stars is actually not due to some "inevitable" reasons, but because of accident." Zhao Lan continued: "Only accidental phenomena can explain this event. Only by "why" We have never found this logic loophole before. I think... our future work direction should be closer to finding accidental events."

Zhang Hong was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Accidental event... Zhao Lan, you seem to imply that this incident was deliberately done by some force... You seem to imply that aliens with super powers The presence."

Zhang Hong's words seem to have no beginning or end, but just like Zhang Hong can easily understand Zhao Lan's words, Zhao Lan can also understand Zhang Hong's words clearly and clearly.

A star is formed, and then over a long period of time, it has different endings due to different masses, or it gradually becomes a white dwarf star, or after a supernova explosion, it becomes a neutron star. Or turned into a black hole after a supernova explosion... These are inevitable events, and they follow the laws of physics.

Consequences are repeatable and verifiable. for example. Something like a star exploding must not happen only once in the universe. It will appear in the past, and it will also discover in the future. It can be observed and then probed into the laws that exist in it. Accidents are different. Accidental events are random, and may be repeated within the scope of the universe, but at least compared to the collective human civilization, it has no or only a very low frequency of repeatability.

Assuming that there is a physical law in the universe, which causes the universe to flicker every 10,000 years, and assuming that the lifespan of human civilization is less than 10,000 years, then in the entire life cycle of human civilization, human beings will This flicker can only be seen once, and this flicker occurs only once relative to human civilization. Then it is accidental to human civilization. Because it only occurs once, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for humans to parse it.

And since this phenomenon has never been found in the past since human beings have astronomical observation means, it can be inferred as follows: the cause of the abnormal disappearance of stars has never appeared in the past few hundred years. And if it is reversed, it can be concluded that all the physical processes that have been understood by people and have been explored and understood in the past few hundred years cannot be the cause of the abnormal disappearance of stars. Even if this physical process is involved in this event, it must be only a part of it but not all of it. Outside of this physical process, there must be a completely new physical process that has never been understood by people.

This is the difference between chance and inevitable. This distinction seems very complicated, but to simplify it, it can still be explained in one sentence: any theory that attempts to explain the phenomenon must first satisfy a premise, that is: the theory must have a period of at least four hundred years interval. Because 400 years is the length of time that humans have the corresponding observation technology, and if the theoretical interval is less than 400 years, then it must have caused a similar abnormal disappearance of stars within 400 years. , and if this is the case, then humans should have discovered this phenomenon at least once in the past.

If measured by this standard, the theory of nebula occlusion is undoubtedly unqualified, and the theory of gravitational lensing is also unqualified. Because these two possibilities have always existed in the universe, and in the past, they have never caused this abnormal disappearance of stars. At the same time, the cosmic environment theory proposed by Zhang Hong is also unqualified, because it also fails to meet this standard.

Therefore, from now on, any theory that attempts to explain the phenomenon of the abnormal disappearance of stars must first satisfy two conditions: one, the phenomenon has nothing to do with the stars themselves; system to explain.

In this way, the possibility that the abnormal disappearance of a star is a "natural event in the universe" is greatly reduced, and correspondingly, the possibility that the abnormal disappearance of a star is "caused by human forces" is greatly improved. And this person in the artificial can't refer to human civilization, so... it must be talking about some kind of individual or aggregate of individuals with powerful power and self-awareness.

And the name of the individual aggregate is usually referred to in the common language of human civilization as... an alien civilization.

Zhang Hong can naturally understand the twists and turns, so Zhang Hongcai directly said that Zhao Lan was implying the existence of alien civilizations with super power.

Facing Zhang Hong's doubts, Zhao Lan did not flinch: "The abnormal disappearance of stars caused by the intervention of some alien civilizations with superpowers is not at all correct."

"What kind of alien civilization is needed to have the ability to affect many river system-level celestial bodies in different parts of the universe at the same time...?" Zhang Hong murmured, "I can't imagine it."

"If it is divided according to the classification of the Kardashov index, the civilization that can use the energy of an entire river system is a K3 civilization, the civilization that can use the energy of an entire galaxy cluster is a K4 civilization, and the civilization that can use the energy of an entire supercluster is K4. The civilization is k5, the civilization that can utilize an entire supercluster complex is k6, and the civilization that can utilize the energy of the entire visible universe is k7... Then, I think that scientific methods can be used to cause so many river system-level celestial bodies to disappear The level of civilization is at least k6.5. And our human civilization has just crossed the threshold of k1 civilization at this moment." Zhao Lan said without shyness, "That kind of civilization is really real for us. God-level civilization~www.readwn.com~ In the face of such civilization, we cannot have the ability to resist at all. This is different from the original solar civilization. The solar civilization has reached the k2 level of civilization on the reverse fusion layer technology, but Their comprehensive scientific and technological strength is not even comparable to that of our human civilization."

The term "k6.5 civilization..." caused all the staff in the regular meeting to fall into silence.

That is an almost unimaginable super civilization. For such a civilization, it is possible to destroy a star with a backhand, destroy an entire river system with a single breath, or even trigger a process to destroy the entire universe. With the poor imagination of human beings, it is impossible to imagine the existence of such a civilization.

That's a desperate gap.

"If there really is a k6.5-level civilization, and it is really caused by the abnormal disappearance of stars, then what's the point of all our efforts? Even if our technology develops for another 10,000 years, the most optimistic It is estimated that it has only developed to the level of k2.6 civilization... and we don't know whether our human civilization can last for 10,000 years." A colleague muttered. (To be continued..)
