Chapter 2566: Time Is Not Measured
Xu Huo casually flipped through the book. Strictly speaking, it is similar to a popular science book. It mainly talks about the theory of watchmaking. It is relatively simple and even beginners will not feel too much pressure.
However, the concept of "time" has received unanimous praise from critics.
The author of the book proposed that time "never stops" and explained this term. He believes that whether it is time in normal cognition or time near some special universes, it seems that there may be changes in the calculation method, but in fact the concept of "time" is eternal and unchanging. In contrast to "time", he also talked about "curve time".
The concept of "curve time" has existed in games for a long time, but generally only academic researchers will specifically analyze and explain this concept. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand curve time, and curve time cannot be used in real life - of course, this point is debatable. For example, Xu Huo's super prop "Three Seconds of Life" is actually an application of curve time. This at least shows that there are props about curve time in the game.
The author of this book, "Jingshi", explains that "time travel" is actually impossible in normal time, because time can only move forward. The only way to achieve "time travel" is to be in curve time.
Similar to wormholes, which can fold space to achieve the effect of quickly crossing distances, "curve time" is the same. Curve time is also curved and jumping, and it is associated with "time".
Of course, "time" is just a concept proposed by humans to facilitate the understanding of material changes. If the concept of "time" is removed, it can be regarded as two forces interweaving with each other. When one force interferes with the other, the two forces will converge into a special phenomenon, which is the "time travel" understood by humans.
At the same time, the author also believes that whether it is time or curve time, it is a concept that humans cannot deeply understand and control. After all, the concept of "time" often corresponds to a certain space. At least on the basis of affecting space, it can be called affecting "time", otherwise it cannot be called really affecting "time".
The principle of the time props that occasionally appear in the game is also very simple. They just use some special minerals to affect the surrounding space in a small range. Strictly speaking, it does not really interfere with "time". After all, the "time" of the entire space has not changed.
"Isn't this nonsense?" There are other players who are reading this book. When they see the explanation of "time" at the end, they can't help but knock on the page and laugh. "Time props can slow down the time in a small range. Although it does not change the entire space, the matter affected by it will definitely be different from the surrounding matter. How can this not affect time?"
"Time is not only for large spaces and not for small spaces."
Even if advanced players have not super evolved, they will understand a little bit, not to mention that this is a very simple concept. After all, humans have begun to imagine traveling in the long river of time as early as when they had wisdom.
"This is a book signing event. If you don't like it, just go away!" A fan looked at the player angrily, "No one invited you to come!"
"Jingshi" has many fans. Some people have already glared at him, and now they are shouting for him to leave.
"I just expressed my opinion. What? People are not allowed to speak?" The player said, "Does this book only accept good reviews?"
Among the people responsible for maintaining order, there were also loyal fans of Jingshi. A female player with a bun came over and said to him with a smile, "Sir, please don't interfere with our normal signing order."
The players from other areas also laughed and crossed their arms and said, "What are you going to do if I don't leave?"
"You are a guest from afar. If you don't leave, we can only make way for you." The female player turned around and said to the fans in line, "We are the hosts. As hosts, are you willing to make way for this foreign guest?"
The fans were easy to talk to. After complaining a few words, they took the initiative to move to the side and cleared the player out of the queue.
The passage in front of the signing venue was originally very spacious and did not hinder other guests from passing through. Now that the fans stick to the corners, it is even more spacious. The player who was separated from the team is particularly conspicuous and welcomes the hot eyes of the passing guests.
The player didn't care either. He shrugged and went to visit other stores.
Xu Huo finished reading a book in the queue. When it was his turn, he was invited into a special signing room by the staff. An old lady who looked about 60 or 70 years old sat at the table. When she took the book, she raised her glasses and said, "I didn't expect that this book would have readers from other areas not long after it was published. What do you want to write on it?"
Xu Huo thought for a while, "Jumping time, I will read this book by myself, no need to sign your name."
Jing Shi smiled and wrote these five words, and handed the book back to him.
"Your handwriting is very beautiful." Xu Huo took it and looked at it, and asked, "I just finished reading the book, and I am very curious about one thing. Why do you think that affecting time in a small range does not really affect time? I have seen the power of time kill people. A person may turn into ashes in a few breaths. Doesn't this affect the time of the current space?"
"The correct way to describe what you described is actually borrowing time," Jingshi said, "Borrowing time does not really affect time. It is just the temporary coexistence of two time forces caused by a gap in space. For humans, the basic unit of time should be a partition, a planet, or a space, a wormhole."
"What can really be called affecting time is when the time of one space completely covers another space."
"I'm afraid even the game government can't do this, right?" Xu Huo said.
Jingshi smiled and said, "Time is not a substance, don't measure it by quantity. What I mean by small-scale time parallelism is not affecting time and has nothing to do with quantity."

"Is it the existence and extinction of time?" Xu Huo took over the conversation, "Is there really an extinction of time?"
"If there is existence, there is extinction." Jingshi said. At this time, the staff next to her came to remind her, and she apologized, "It seems that we can't chat for a long time."
"Thank you." Xu Huo closed the book and left the signing room.
After putting the book in the luggage compartment, he went out to look for the painter. She and Shi Potian went into a luxury goods store and bought a lot of inlaid and special metal watches under the salesman's promotion.
When Xu Huo stepped into the door, there were nearly fifty pieces in front of the two of them.
