Starship Girl Express

"This rain is good, good... I don't know how long it has not rained in this city."

A young man in formal dress on the table in the distance spoke for himself, then turned his head to look at Bai Moxie, and said to the boy: "It looks like you are also a solo guest. Everyone flocked to see the Rainbow Bridge. As a result, this teahouse was Only the two of us are left... Don't mind if I sit there, let's talk, Bai Moxie."

Bai Moxie looked up and looked left and right. As expected, there were only two of them left on the third floor of the huge teahouse.

"Of course, of course, Mr. Mourningtu, meeting is fate, please."

"Fate, um, fate... Not long after I came here, I have been studying Chinese civilization and culture recently.'Fate' is indeed a wonderful concept. It is more casual and easy-going than'destiny' and'fate'. On top of having nothing to do, there is a layer of unspeakable connection. If you want to say it, there is only the same word'miao', which can describe a little of its connotation."

Mourning talked freely, and walked over generously, while a Bobo ball carried his tea set.

All humans’ personal social systems in the galaxy are open. Both parties can directly view basic information such as each other’s name, origin, and race, as well as further personal privacy information that the other has opened, such as work history and current tasks in progress. , And even individual social relations... and this is the social basis on which the "credit economy system" can be established.

Bai Moxie, who has adapted to this future world, has become accustomed to this mode of communication between strangers and will no longer be subject to any cultural shocks.

In this era, social interaction has become easier and more natural, and there is no need to beware, because there are no "strangers" in the strict sense. Social information is open, allowing people to omit a large part of the process of communication. The first meeting is equivalent to completing the friendship. Steps. At this step, you can decide whether you want to have further contacts.

If the open personal information of the other party is of interest to you, and various system evaluations and analyses, the dialogue between the two people will not conflict, then you can come up and talk and start communicating in depth...

This is a bit like the plot of a certain movie that Bai Moxie has seen. The two robots are looking at each other in the air, their eyes flashing, high-speed analysis is completed, and a consensus is reached in silence. They are robots on the same road, and their eyes light up green together. Light, and then move together happily. On the contrary, if the robot is not suitable for joint action, its eyes will flash red, and then they will pass by without any intersection, avoiding possible social risks and conflicts.

The Mourning figure who came now was the "robot with a green light", and Bai Moxie responded with a friendly green light. The two sat down on both sides of the quaint mahogany carved dragon table, raised their tea cups and took a drink, ready to start the next step. In-depth exchanges.

Miao Ningtu smiled slightly after putting down the tea cup, and said, "Mr. Bai Moxie is a courier business. Did he come to the imperial city to take the royal order?"

"Mr. No need, just call me Bai Moxie."

"Then Bai Moxie also directly call me Mourningtu... As you can see, I am engaged in the study of'anthropological culture'... I have been doing research for most of my life, but recently I suddenly realized that I have not studied yet. However, the culture of the peoples that rule this galaxy has actually been immersed in the complex branches and leaves. So recently I changed the subject and started to lean towards'comparative anthropology', comparing the Han culture with the civilization I did before. Research, make a comparison, and see if you can get any conclusions..."

"This is what the university asked, I'm afraid I can't help much."

"No, no, Bai Moxie, you are humble. In fact, I noticed you during lunch before. Among all the guests present at the time, only Bai Moxie was the most natural and smooth movement with chopsticks... I was shaking away from the stars. It’s been a lot of days. I’m not boasting. I think I’m half of the Han nationality. Look, my Chinese has a local accent... But with these chopsticks, I still can’t make it!"

Bai Moxie's eyes blinked slowly: "Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect...As for the previous topic, although I came here this time is not a royal express order, but it is the business of the Galaxy Wanqiang enterprise, I can stop here for a while. not bad."

"It's exactly, it's nice to stay for a while. It's raining. You know, it's not a festival. The weather here won't change at all... Although sunny, it's always sunny, like peace. ..."

Mourning did not rush or slow down, as if he was just talking about it inadvertently.

Bai Moxie paused while pinching the teacup, and paused in a relaxed mood. The dialogue atmosphere between the tea seats paused for a long time: "...Mr. Moningtu means--"

Mourningtu's slender fingers clicked on the tray of the tea bowl, and made a crisp ding-dong, and said:

"Since ancient times, human beings have been trying to rely on pure reason for cognition and reduce matter into the category of their own experience. Some have succeeded, we have surpassed the threshold of the speed of light, and some have to admit their failures, although they continue to surpass. However, the boundaries of human experience have always existed, and will always exist objectively, and there will always be an unknown ahead..."

"Experience and learning are the hallmarks of human beings...just like going up the stairs, there is one level above one level, which is normal..."

Both of them understand that the "human" in the conversation is a pan-human, because this topic is not only in the category of the Milky Way, but the entire universe, all civilizations in the entire universe, are the same in the face of this metaphysical abstract problem.

"Oh, go up the stairs, then Mo Xie, do you think this staircase has a beginning and an end?"

"The starting point should exist, but the ending point should not exist."

"This question is essentially about time and space. According to Mo Xie's point of view, experience is a ray, with a beginning and no end. As long as the universe is infinite, the'stairway' will be unbounded."

"Well, it's basically the most classic Big Bang universe model. It has a starting point, but it is infinite and unbounded, and there is no end in sight."

"I don’t know what’s going on in the future, and what’s going on in the past can only be speculated, because no one has been in the future, and no one has actually witnessed the moment when the universe was born. Even if they have been to the boundary of the universe, the universe is officially boundless. Nothing can even count as side evidence. The universe is still based on theory and speculation. Various universe models of membrane universe, string universe, and dimensional universe are emerging in endlessly...

So I can come to a conclusion here. Since it is still theories and speculations, human beings are still using rationality to perceive matter with regard to the constant problems of time and space in the universe.Without fundamental direct evidence, a counter-proposition that is also purely rational can be given: the universe has no starting point in time, and there is a limit in space."

Bai Moxie suddenly realized: "The two laws are contrary."

Mourningtu smiled slightly: "It is exactly the set of pros and cons of cosmology given in Kant's classic "Critique of Pure Reason", but the proposition of time and space given by him. The proposition is that cosmic time has a starting point and space is bounded. Counter-proposition, the universe has no starting point and unlimited space..."

Bai Moxie waved his hand and projected Kant's original text: "He relied on the dialectical method of antinomy to explain two problems. The unrealistic nature of time and space, and that it is absurd for human pure reason to transcend experience to recognize matter...Human beings have their limits. "

Mourningtu took a sip of tea and repeated: "Humans have limits..."

The sound of the rain was pattering, and the two of them fell silent between the tea house and the tea house. Only the sound of the rain was drinking tea. They seemed to be savoring the fragrance of tea, and they seemed to be reminiscing about the discussion...

Bai Moxie wondered whether the other party's purpose of starting this topic, whether he came to find himself intentionally, there is something in the words, don't have deep meaning...At the end of the pondering, he felt that he had been victimized by paranoia, so he found a topic casually and broke the silence.

"It seems that Brother Mourning Tu came to talk to me because he was interested in my identity as a freelancer? To be honest, I have never been to the end of the universe, because there is no meaning there, it's just that the drops of water are stuck on. On the balloon, sticking to the surface and sliding, there is nothing strange..."

Bai Moxie remembered agreeing to Bai Lingling to go to other universes and explore the real world.

Mourningtu reached out to the outside of the building-a classic wooden teahouse, with the table attached to the side of the building, and there were no sealed walls and windows. He reached out to the hook fence and caught a few drops of rain.

Let the water drop roll back and forth on the palm of the hand, and said: "This is just two-dimensional. The water drop cannot leave the plane and reach the wider world outside... The boundary of the universe, according to the membrane universe model, that is the boundary of the dimension. We It is also impossible to enter the palm that jumps out of the three-dimensional, into the five-dimensional... It’s just that the experience of moving on the boundary should be amazing, right?"

"It's hard to say, it's almost the same as the experience of staying on the horizon of a black hole."

"Moxie, have you stayed?"

"No, no, it's all about reading information. Now that the brain is submerged in the experience, seeing the extreme sports that others do, isn't it just like yourself."

"That said, this is the superiority of our human beings. This kind of social and biological superiority, one person's experience can be spread into the experience of the whole... The accumulation of the ancestors, the stairs we have climbed, we don't have to climb again... But what happened before..."

"Huh? Before what?"

"It was our first topic-didn't it mean that there will always be an unknown ahead?"

"Indeed, but this is a proposition of'antinomy'. We rely on pure reason to determine that the unknown is endless."

"Yeah, this is back to the discussion of time and space... But what I want to say is before-whether the unknown in the future is endless or not, but the previous, that is, the unknown in history, is always certain. And there are a number--we have not solved the things we have experienced before, so we go beyond the limits of experience and consider the unknown in the future. Human beings are so arrogant."

"You speak as if you are not a human being."

"Haha, I also call Brother Moxie... Don't blame it, don't blame it. Sometimes, when you learn and jump out, you become an objective observer, and you really don't think you are a human being."

"I understand, the observer..."

"Okay, so after going around such a big circle, what I want to say is that there is actually an ancient antinomian proposition-war and peace." Miao Ningtu tapped his finger at Bai Moxie on the table, as if the teacher was tapping on the blackboard. Emphasize.

"...I don't think there is any conflict between the two...Although I think it is an abuse, people like to say that it is an'expanded discussion', and some issues that are declining and reciprocating are also said to be'antinomies'... That's true. It's antinomy, but it's not Kant's antinomy, it's ancient Greek philosophy.

The essence of Kant’s antinomy is to require complete opposition without a buffer at all.'Yes' means yes, and'No' means no. Only in this way can the contradiction be revealed dialectically... What goods supply and demand are scarce when the demand is large, and vice versa , This kind of thing is'antinomy', it is a joke, what can be revealed in it?The objective law of supply and demand?It is not a conceptual level at all."

Bai Moxie unknowingly raised his momentum. This kind of academic discussion made him unconsciously bring the pedagogical spirit that he had cultivated since he was a child. How many kinds of proofs are there for a geometry problem? To solve it to the end... Since the other party has provoked the discussion, and it is the topic of interest to me, I am sorry if I don't take it seriously.

You know, Bai Moxie is usually surrounded by girls, big and small, and suddenly one comes over to discuss some philosophical propositions...Although it is not impossible, it always feels a little weird.

"'War and peace' are based on the concept of human existence, which is absolutely unrealistic... I understand what Brother Mo Xie wants to express is to ask what the pros and cons of'war and peace' can reveal. Right? Listen to me first... First of all, I agree that war and peace are'process'. From war to peace, from peace to war, there is a vague situation where war and peace coexist.

…At the same time, if there is no limitation, small peace in a big war environment and secret war in a big peace environment are both possible. There is no absolute peace and no absolute war, so they are not two propositions that are absolutely opposite. , There is an intermediate state, it cannot constitute antinomy."

After patiently listening to Mourningtu finished speaking, Bai Moxie turned the tea bowl, looked at the tea stains on the bottom of the bowl, and frowned, "Then why did Mourningtu brother say that war and peace are antithetical, or something like ancient times... "

"Because'war and peace' together is a proposition, a positive proposition."

This perspective was unexpected by Bai Moxie, and he secretly sighed that the other party was worthy of comparative anthropological research: "Oh? This is interesting, so what about another counter-proposition?"

"First of all, war and peace are fluid, ebb and flow, and there is an intermediate state, so they can be seen as a continuous, one, and a pair of relative wholes that cannot be viewed in isolation..." Mourning plans to brew After a while, waiting for Bai Moxie's feedback dialogue.
