Road to science and technology

"Yes, I'm coming!"

Yue Yuanzhou paused and continued: "But don't worry, I'm not here to stop you from studying academics. Even if you want to know how the dark plane collapsed, I can tell you. But what I am more curious about is another thing."

Karl put his hands in front of him and said calmly: "Please say!"

Karl was very happy to hear Yue Yuanzhou say that it would not interfere with his academic studies, so he now had the leisure to wonder what the big boss who had blown up the dark plane wanted to do with him.

Yue Yuanzhou touched his beard, and then said: "I heard from Liang Bing that your original intention of transforming yourself into a phantom body was to better explore the unknown. Can you tell me?"

Just for this? Karl was a little surprised that he came all the way here just for this question, but he still said: "Yes, that was a long time ago. At that time, I was still a student of the Super Seminary. Because of the emergence of the Super Seminary, The technology of transforming the divine body has been realized, and with the progress of the god-creating project, the simultaneous activation rate of human brain areas is getting higher and higher."

"At that time, I knew that there is a limit in our brain that restricts us from fully activating it. In fact, the simultaneous activation rate of the brain is constantly changing, because as people continue to learn and explore, our brain will form New neurons, this means that if there is no way to increase the activation rate of the brain, as we continue to explore the unknown, it will become more and more difficult to recognize the unknown in the future, and it will become more and more difficult to continue exploring and learning."

Seeing what Karl said, Yue Yuanzhou couldn't help but interject: "Because new neurons are constantly being formed and the activation rate never increases, it means that there are always some aspects that people do not consider when thinking about unknown objects. Those What we didn’t consider was hiding in the inactive brain, but we didn’t know it at the time.”

Karl was still standing in front of the Death Song Academy. He suddenly looked at the starry sky, sighed slightly and said, "Yes, and this kind of ill-considered thing will change with the recognition of new things and the exploration of unknown knowledge. The more and more we accumulate, it will eventually form an insurmountable barrier. At that time, our knowledge and wisdom will be limited by this 'ill-considered' accumulation, and we will be unable to take even a small step forward on the road to explore the unknown. !”

Yue Yuanzhou nodded and said: "How sad and hopeless that is! This is the ultimate fear!"

Karl also nodded: "That's right!"

"Is this why you want to transform yourself into a phantom body?"

Regarding Yue Yuanzhou's question, Karl still said: "So be it!"

"Are you free now?"

Karl knew what Yue Yuanzhou was talking about. He was asking if his thoughts and brain had not been affected by the accumulation of 'ill-considered' after turning into a phantom body.

Regarding this issue, he still didn't know, so he changed his explanation: "Maybe there is, maybe there is not. In fact, I don't know."

At this time, Carl paused and suddenly raised his head slightly and said: "The magic of wisdom is that it can understand phenomena that it does not possess. For example, people cannot see electromagnetic waves but can understand and use them with wisdom, so they can use wisdom to understand wisdom. ?"

Yue Yuanzhou was not surprised by Karl's sudden question, because he thought that after Karl was killed by him because of the dark plane, he would probably feel that he was a person who could discuss knowledge. At this time, he felt that Karl suddenly said I need to go to the toilet. No one would find it strange, so he said: "Cognition may increase wisdom, but cognition is not wisdom. If the infinite growth of wisdom eventually reaches omniscience, then wisdom may be able to understand wisdom."

Karl, who was in the phantom state, suddenly brightened up and continued: "We are just a part of the universe, just a few molecules and atoms in the vast universe. However, these insignificant basic particles form you and me in mysterious ways, giving us wisdom. .So...if the entire universe is injected into wisdom, can wisdom understand the entire universe?"

Can you tell the whole thing by looking at a leopard in a tube? If you ask this question, someone might answer that you just use the tube to scan the entire body of the leopard and record every place you scan. After you have seen the leopard all over, you can know what the entire leopard looks like. The same is true for the universe. Use wisdom to explore the known things that can be explored. After exploring the entire universe, won't you be able to understand the entire universe?

But this involves a question, that is, whether wisdom can understand things that have not been seen or recognized, or whether it may always be thought that it is understood, but in fact it is just a temporary appearance of the universe. After all, it's all based on observations of the universe.

To give a simple example, there is a sharpshooter who shoots a hole every ten centimeters on a target. Imagine that there is a two-dimensional intelligent creature living on the plane of the target. The scientists among them will observe their own universe. A great law was discovered, that is: there must be a hole every ten centimeters in the universe. They regarded the sharpshooter's random behavior as an iron law in their own universe!

Of course, there is another one that is more scary. There is a group of turkeys on a farm. The farmer feeds them on time at 11 noon every day. A scientist among the turkeys observes this phenomenon and has been observing it for nearly a month. There are no exceptions every year. A year is already a long time for a turkey, so this turkey scientist also discovered the great law of his universe, which is that food will land at 11 o'clock every morning.

Then the turkey scientist announced this great law to the turkeys on Thanksgiving morning, but at 11 o'clock that morning, the food did not come because the farmer came in and caught and killed them all!

So will it be the same if we observe and understand the universe with wisdom?

Yue Yuanzhou now feels that this Karl is really powerful. No wonder he will become the greatest scholar in the universe. But even so, he almost became the two scientists above who discovered the great laws.

"No, in fact, he has discovered the great law of the universe, which is void and anti-void, but he was blown up just as he was about to announce it! So he is already great."

Yue Yuanzhou smiled slightly when he thought of this, and said to Karl in the projection: "The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it can be understood."

After Yue Yuanzhou finished speaking, he looked at Karl, who was standing silently in front of the Death Song Academy, looking up at the stars. He looked at the scientists and turkey scientists who had a target world in their minds. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that Karl was almost great.

Karl sighed: "Yes, it can be understood, but it may not be the correct solution! Wisdom will eventually be exhausted."

Facing Karl's sigh, Yue Yuanzhou was a little surprised.

To be honest, Yue Yuanzhou was really surprised that Carl, a being who almost became Laplace's Demon by relying on a big clock, said this, but he still nodded and smiled: "Does wisdom eventually end? Then do you think you are omniscient and omnipotent? Is it impossible?

The so-called Laplace's Demon is if there is such a wise man who can clearly know all the matter in the universe at a certain moment, including microscopic particles. He can know the motion state and position of all matter, as well as the forces exerted on it. Moreover, this wise man also has powerful enough computing power to analyze and process data. Then all changes in the universe will be included in a simple formula, so for this wise man, nothing can stump him, and nothing is vague to him, everything is knowable, and the future will only Appear before him as before! This is Laplace's Demon!

And Karl almost turned into this kind of existence by relying on the big clock, but at this time he actually changed.

Regarding Yue Yuanzhou's question, Karl did not hesitate at all: "Of course, wisdom is endless, and omniscience and omnipotence are impossible. If you are omniscient and omnipotent, can you create a stone that you cannot lift?"

This question made Yue Yuanzhou a little speechless. If you can create this stone, then how can you be called omniscient and omnipotent if you can't even move a stone? And if you can't make this kind of stone, then you can't even make a stone, so how can you be called omniscient and omnipotent. So you must not be omniscient and omnipotent.

So is it possible to create a rock that you can't move? "

Well, that's very good. Regarding Karl's remarks, Yue Yuanzhou thought about it for a while and then said: "Well, omniscience and omnipotence cannot be generalized by themselves, so I will say it separately now. If you are omniscient, you cannot know new things, so you Not omnipotent. If you were omnipotent, you could know new things, so you’re not omnipotent.”

Speaking of this, Yue Yuanzhou looked at Karl, who was still looking calm, and said, "So now do you think it's possible to discuss just one thing?"

Carl: "This"

Karl just said this, and then fell silent. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said: "I don't know, so I will do my best to continue to explore and study the unknown!"
