Chapter 2818: Save or Not

What distinguishes science from religion is that science accepts failure and uncertainty. If science is regarded as a stabilizing force, then science becomes a religion.

But because there is uncertainty, there is room for interpretation.

This is the same as religious doctrine. The doctrine is uncertain and has different interpretation methods, so there are differences and tampering.

Science has uncertainties and disagreements. However, science can study objective laws, which is very effective.

The so-called objective laws are the study of things that have already happened and new things that have just appeared. Science cannot predict things that have not yet appeared, but things that have already appeared can be measured according to certain rules through scientific means. After anything appears, it needs to accumulate strength until quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

New forces will be weak when they appear, but they will become stronger through accumulation.

Take the Industrial Revolution for example. Although everyone thinks that industry is definitely better than manual work, this was not the case at the beginning. At the beginning, the production efficiency of factories was not higher than that of handicraft workshops, but with the development of machines and assembly lines, industry began to overtake handicraft industry.

Another example is the scholar-official class. The scholar-officials in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were vassals of the nobles. After more than three hundred years of development, the scholar-officials accumulated enough strength to compete with the nobles, and finally formed a situation of "ruling the world with the scholar-officials" in the Song Dynasty.

Another example is the bourgeoisie. During the Renaissance, it was originally very weak and its influence was not very great. It was not until the Enlightenment Movement a hundred years later that it truly affected the world and challenged the old system. In the end, Louis XVI was guillotined, and Napoleon launched a war that affected the world.

Even science was just a vassal of religion at the beginning. It was the continuous efforts of generations of scientists that finally established a scientific system and finally became independent from religion.

This is how times create heroes, and a hero is someone who guides the accumulated power.

Therefore, when a force appears, it must be weak and must be accumulated before it can change the world. This is the objective law.

Science can study objective laws, but it cannot predict which new force will change the world in the future. It's like stock experts know that stocks rise and fall, but they don't know which stocks will rise sharply.

The same is true for the study of society, and the same is true for the study of the universe. However, many phenomena in the universe have existed for hundreds of millions of years. These are not new forces, but accumulated forces. Through scientific research, we can benefit the world. people and transform the existing human environment.

But the changes that will follow are not 100% predictable by science. For example, if the environment deteriorates and this phenomenon occurs, will it accumulate and eventually backfire on humans? For example, will changes in microorganisms also threaten humans through cumulative power? These sciences are not certain. Science can only remind us constantly. We hope that everyone can take precautions and be prepared.

Black Moon, she does not need to continue to accumulate power, because she has already accumulated it from the beginning. So Seele just needs to use her. In the process, they also used science to study the objective laws of the apostles. But when it comes to scientific uncertainty, they choose to deny it. They deny that there will be uncertainty in integration and that there will be worse possibilities in the human completion plan.

Because there is uncertainty, practice is needed. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Through small-scale practice, look at the results, and then weigh it to see if it should be fully promoted. This is science.

Those who ignore everything like Seele and try to integrate everything in one breath are pseudo-science and scientific religion without any scientific spirit.

Because they had no scientific spirit, Duran did not talk about science and directly convicted Black Moon of discrimination and exiled Proxima Centauri.

On this day, everyone saw the Black Moon flying out of the cross wound on the earth's surface, and the change in gravity caused the unsteady change of the red tide. Seele was about to burst into tears, and could only watch helplessly as the key to the plan was sent to the sky.

Except that there is no giant Ayanami Rei holding it, the whole process is the same as the completion, except that the black moon flies higher and higher, and finally disappears directly.

The Black Moon, which stayed on the Earth for billions of years, left the Earth.

Now if Seele wants to integrate again, it must set its target in the sea of ​​​​stars. It must first overcome the speed of light travel, and then complete it in Proxima Centauri.

"What have you done?" Seele shouted desperately.

"It just proves that you don't understand science at all. If you understood science, you wouldn't be making such a fuss. You would definitely work hard immediately. Even if it takes several thousand years, you will definitely develop the speed of light flight to Proxima Centauri." Du Lan said: "I just made your integration more difficult. If you really believe that integration represents happiness, then you should work tirelessly and keep up your efforts. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Come on."

Duran left directly, leaving behind a slate of incompetence and rage.

With the Black Moon gone, everyone will have time to develop. Who wins in the end depends entirely on humans themselves.

Duran is really leaving this time, saying goodbye to Shinji Ikari, Agni, and Denji. He hopes they live a good life and bravely face the problems they will face in the future.

The three of them were reluctant to leave Duran. Although Duran's training was indeed tiring, as long as he accepted it, he would become stronger. Moreover, Duran had always been their backer. When Duran left, his backer was gone. But they must learn to stand alone. This is growth, and they must learn to bear their own injuries.

Duran left, but he changed the world.

If human beings will be destroyed by a meteorite hitting the earth in a few decades, what should human beings do?

Duran thinks it is best to do nothing. First of all, scientists cannot make ordinary people believe that there is such a meteorite approaching. So if money is needed to save mankind, then everyone will think that this is a clever excuse. There is no courage to save the world, but there is courage to collect people's money under the excuse of saving the world, and it is very big.

Secondly, if it costs a huge amount of money to save the world, and finally changes the trajectory of the meteorite to avoid collision. How to prove that this is because of the money spent to save the world, rather than the meteorite will not hit the earth? Can it be proved? Unless the trajectory is changed before the meteorite hits and humans can witness the meteorite, otherwise it cannot be proved at all. Everyone will only think that the meteorite is just a scam.

If the meteorite really falls, then all people on earth will be destroyed and all beings will be equal. If the world is saved successfully, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. This is just like the ancient disaster years were the "good" years for land annexation. The more natural and man-made disasters, the more money will be made.

So it is better not to save, and only when everyone perishes together will it be the real destruction. After saving, there will only be a mess, and in the end, a world war may break out.

So saving the world is not an easy job, because saving the world can also become a business. You can even start a financial bet, betting on whether a meteorite will hit the earth.

Of course, in the new world, the problem that destroys mankind is not the falling of meteorites, but the helium flash of the sun. In about four hundred years, the sun will explode into a supernova, and the entire solar system will be destroyed at that time, so humans try to move the earth to a new place.
