Chapter 962: Ascending the God Ladder

"Atomic theory has an implicit assumption, that is, 'matter can be divided continuously, but the smallest particle of matter cannot be divided'. We cannot say right or wrong about this assumption, because it is a kind of Hypothesis, not truth, and unverifiable. We have a choice, to believe, or not to believe."

The magicians nodded slightly, everyone understood this truth.

"Well, if you think about it from a purely logical point of view, I think the assumptions of atomism are contradictory."

"If matter can be divided continuously, then the smallest particle of matter can still be divided. If the smallest matter cannot be divided, it is no longer matter!"

The magicians present were stunned for a moment, vaguely aware of something.

"Since matter is divisible, how can we say that the smallest particle of matter cannot be divided? Why can't it be divided? Is it because the force of separation is not strong enough? This means that as long as the force is strong enough, we can still decompose all matter. "

"So, I broke down this assumption, and built a new assumption under this assumption. That is, matter can be divided continuously. Once the smallest particle of matter is divided, it cannot be called 'smallest matter'. It's called 'Minimal Existence'."

"Why is it called 'Minimal Existence'?"

"First, because I can't be sure what the 'minimum existence' is, but we can be sure that this thing exists. Even if we can't perceive it, or even understand it, it exists. Otherwise, our world It ceases to exist."

"Secondly, not only are we unable to determine what the 'minimum existence' is, we can't even determine whether it is material, non-material, or a strange state of matter. In summary, we can only temporarily name it as the minimal existence, Do you understand this point?"

Everyone nodded and shook their heads.

"We will discuss energy next. Energy is actually a kind of quantification that we measure a certain substance or a certain state. It is a kind of perception, not a kind of existence. For example, every high-level mage can find that we The fire, thunder and lightning in the eyes are actually composed of matter, it is not energy, energy is just an abstract feeling. What we call hot and cold has nothing to do with energy in essence, but just matter or the interaction between matter.”

"Let me give you the simplest example. I am a real person. Master Lawrence is also a real person. We are together. Some people will say that one plus one equals two. It is two people. But in fact, this Does 1 exist in the world? Does 2 exist? Does not exist. 1 is just a symbol, and this symbol represents an abstract existence. What we use to measure matter or the effects of matter does not exist by itself."

"In addition to material,

There is also some kind of action between matter, which we can call a force, or a field, or it may even be another matter, or something else. All of these, like matter, can also be subdivided, because we can't determine what it is, we can only call it the minimum effect. "

"If the formulation of the principle I posit is correct, then a vague final principle of magic emerges, namely, the relation between minimal being and minimal action. Once we determine what minimal being is, once we determine what is The least effect, then everything about magic will be solved!"

"However, we have to keep in mind that we cannot determine the shape of the minimum existence and the minimum interaction. Is it a particle? Is it a string? Is it a force? Is it a field? Is it an uncertain state of matter? It is impossible to determine. It is likely to be one with the minimal function, the same thing. Or, the whole world is actually constructed by the same minimal existence.”

The chamber was silent.

"Is Master Zeno there?"

"Yes." A master with a full forehead stood up.

"This is the famous liar Zeno." Su ye smiled.

The audience roared with laughter, and Zeno showed a kind smile.

"Master Zeno, please sit down. Master Zeno once proposed a famous paradox of Achilles chasing a tortoise. Achilles is a famous runner in all Greece, but Zeno believes that he can't even catch up with a tortoise." He said that the distance between Achilles and the tortoise was 100 meters. Achilles and the tortoise ran forward at the same time. Achilles could only chase one meter further. But at this time, the tortoise ran a little further. Therefore, Achilles can only catch up with the distance between the two, and will never catch up with the tortoise.”

"But we all know that even if all the tortoises in the world run together, Achilles can catch up. But why do we always find it difficult to refute Zeno, an old liar? He doesn't even know how to refute himself. .”

The magicians laughed again.

"I have been thinking about this problem for a long time, and finally found that the fundamental reason is that we are looking at Achilles chasing the tortoise from a continuous and macroscopic perspective, while Master Zeno is using a discontinuous, microscopic perspective. From the perspective of Achilles chasing the tortoise."

"First of all, we can be sure that when we calculate from a macroscopic perspective, any mathematician can calculate that Achilles can catch up with the tortoise. However, if we look at it from a discontinuous microscopic perspective, what will the world look like? That's where atomic theory comes in."

"We not only need to disassemble the space between Achilles and the tortoise into infinitesimals, but also disassemble Achilles and the tortoise into infinitesimals. In the end, the problem becomes a group of smallest beings chasing another group minimal existence."

"This creates another problem. The smallest being that makes up the system that affects Achilles chasing the tortoise is a huge number, a number that is far greater than the number of stars on the infinite plane and more than the number of creatures on the infinite plane. "

"What's even more frightening is that, from the most microscopic perspective, every smallest existence is independent and discontinuous. As a result, each of us can only observe one smallest existence at the same time, but cannot observe Other minima. Once we start observing the next minima, we can't even determine the state of the previous minima."

"That is to say, in the microcosm of the natural state, everything is uncertain until the outside world exerts influence."

"We can imagine the smallest existence that makes up Achilles as countless little people. Then, what are those little people doing? I believe that everyone should be able to imagine that picture. In the picture, there are infinitely many little people. People, running around!"

"It may run to the front, it may run to the back, it may run to the left and right, or even to the sky. No one can be sure which villain can catch up with the tortoise."

"So, why, in the end, in the macrocosm, do we all think that Achilles must be able to catch the tortoise?"

"I can't make a conclusion. What I can say is, number one, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

"Second, we should never judge a problem with just one angle and one set of rules."

"Third, in the microcosm, everything is chaotic, and it is getting more and more chaotic, but in the macrocosm, our wisdom can clarify everything, and then build a progressive order."

"In the end, the microcosm tells us that everything is possible, and the macrocosm tells us that we can decide which possibility we like best."

"This is the original theory and the microcosm that I created by combining first principles, logic, atomism, and axiomatics, breaking down the old logical foundations and assumptions."

"I, like Democritus, Zeno and other masters, may not be able to build a road to the end of magic for you, but we have lighted up magical beacons in the extreme distance. These magical beacons, It may all go out, but one day someone will walk up to the ruins of the lighthouse and drop a little white flower."

"Philosophy has principles, magic has principles, and everyone's life also has principles."

"May each of us find the ultimate principle of magic and life."

After Su ye finished speaking, he left the conference hall.

Shin Kong Continent.

The ground trembled slightly, rabbits and mice jumped out of their nests, magpies flew away from the branches, and groups of bison and horses fled in a hurry.

Everyone from all over hurriedly ran out of the house, stood in an open place and looked around.

The white clouds in the sky rolled and were torn into strips by invisible forces, like white cloth belts.

Slowly, the white sky clouds changed rapidly, like rivers of clouds flowing radially in all directions.

Directly above the Xinguang Continent, at the confluence point of all the Yunhe, a huge pure white vortex slowly rotates.

In the white vortex, thunder flickers and sky fire burns, as if connecting to another powerful world.

All those who looked at Yun Vortex had stinging eyes, heavy pain in their shoulders, and their heads were slowly pressed down by an invisible force, making it difficult to look directly.

Boom... Boom...

The sound of the drums spread across thousands of miles.

woo... woo...

The horn blares, shocking all directions.

From the corner of their eyes, everyone could see a long streak of pure white clouds appearing under the cloud vortex.

Then, another one appeared, one after another, continuously laid from top to bottom.

A spectacular sky-cloud staircase descends from top to bottom, falling in the center of Xinguang Continent, Stonehenge Valley.

Shining, bright, holy, stalwart.

A series of pale auras visible to the naked eye spread, ring after ring, like a cloud and wind, sweeping across the entire Saint Yuan Continent.

Wherever it passed, all beings trembled, and all spirits fell to the ground.

Birds don't fly, animals don't leap, insects don't sing, fish don't swim.

Hundreds of flowers are rolled up, thousands of trees are drooping, and weeds are crawling.

"Climbing the God Ladder..." some old people muttered to themselves.

Suddenly, thousands of black mist hit from all directions.

At the tip of the striped black mist, the furious human head cursed loudly, the ferocious animal head roared wildly, the weird devil cursed in a low voice, and the peaceful god head smirked...

The endless magic mist is like a prairie fire, burning all over the sky in an instant, isolating the sky clouds and breaking the ladder.

A pitch-black magic fog enveloped the entire Xinguang Continent.

"It's over..."

Cloud God trembled.

The old mountain god and the giant tree god looked at each other, terrified, even the evil black witch god Fengshen, there are only tens of thousands of magic fog.

But now the magic mist actually covers the sky and the earth, more than billions.

"Woof!" Little Corgi roared to the sky.
