Chapter Ninety-Seven: Entrustment
"Don't get distracted!"
Leibniz let out a soft snort, bringing Fermat back to his senses. In front of him was the owner of Laboratory 02 with a very bad face, Tim?? Maison, the master hates nothing more than wasting time. Thinking of this, Fermat subconsciously excused himself: "No, I've been listening carefully!" β
Strom on the side also nodded violently.
Leibniz: "In that case, you can repeat what you have just discussed. β
Just now......
Taim proposes the grandfather paradox and claims: Since cause and effect are certain, fate is also predetermined? Time travel doesn't exist?
After Fermat finished repeating, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "It's not right, although we can't change the past, but we can change the future!" β
When Tim heard this, he said to Leibniz, "Although the two of them have wasted my time, at least they can keep up with some of the ideas, and they are not useless. By the way, do you also believe that you can time travel? Otherwise, you wouldn't have allowed me to do this project all the time, would you? β
Leibniz looked at Fermat and smiled with satisfaction: "I believe it is possible to travel in time." β
Tim sighed and looked Leibniz up and down, "You can't be dropped, right?" Wouldn't you say, 'I only trust my eyes'? He also reached for Leibniz's face.
Leibniz leaned back and laughed: "Is that what I think of you?" β
Theseus, the owner of Lab 05 who had been silent in the corner, nodded violently: "That's right." Every time I ask you to apply for funding, you say this, you have to see us make achievements before allocating funds. β
Fermat and Strom looked at each other and wondered: when did this master appear?
Leibniz waved his hand: "Don't say this, let's move on to time travel." β
Tim glared at Leibniz and then said to Fermat, "You go on, why can you change the future?" β
"Because I'm thinking, if time travels, do we go back to the past of our world, or to the past of another world that is very similar?" Fermat stretched out his arms as long as he could: "If we had crossed such a long distance to meet our grandfather, when the distance was shortened......"
He put his palms almost together, leaving only a line of gap: "If we go back to five minutes ago, what will we see?" Will see another self! I went to do something that caused the 'other self' to not be able to time travel five minutes later, not to change my past, but to change the future of my 'other self'! It was I who interfered with his future! And nothing has changed in my original world! β
Strunm adds: "It's that the different actions of things cause the timeline to split in two, creating parallel universes. β
"But what I want is not to change other people's universes, I want to change my own universe." Tim said. "Changing their universe affects their future, but what about my past? Why do other 'mes' choose to live that way, but I have to live that way? β
He waved his arms, and the words were sonorous, so frightened that the two of them did not dare to answer.
At this time, Leibniz said slowly: "Tem, history cannot be changed. β
Tyme looked at Leibniz with a cannibalistic attitude: "How do you know? β
Leibniz could not say that he had heard it from the leader, and said vaguely: "I speculated. β
"Hmph. Once again, I suspect you've been dropped. Taem added: "At present, there are two views in the academic community, one is a parallel universe, and the other is a closed loop of time, both of which cannot avoid the law of cause and effect. It is necessary to change the past, but also not to interfere with the present that has happened
Compromise to create the deformed concept of parallel universes. Oh, you choose A to create Universe A, you choose B to create Universe B, do you think you are the creator god? Didn't you create a world out of nothing without spending any energy? β
Fermat noticed that His Majesty Leibniz, who heard this, was a little restless, but Tym's words immediately diverted his attention:
"As for the time loop, what does it look like? For example, I lost something important, so I went back in time to try to keep it before it was lost, and it turned out that I had traveled through time and made that thing invisible. Cause and effect are fixed, and whatever I do is in vain, like an ant crawling on a MΓΆbius ring. Compared with the parallel universe theory, the closed-loop theory of time is more like a brainless worship of time and cause and effect, a kind of deification. β
Strunm struggled to comprehend these words, and raised his hand to ask, "Master Tem, you don't seem to agree with either theory?" β
"Yes, on the basis of combining the two theories, I myself proposed a third theory, space-time modification. The operation of space-time is logical, and the law of cause and effect is the essence of logic. Percival's theory is a 'butterfly storm', a change in one parameter that can lead to very different results for the whole experiment, and the same is true for time travel. But! Not every change results in something drastically different! If the entire plane was a delicate and massive machine, you would change its core parts and it would affect the whole of it, but what if you only tweaked one of the screws? β
As if afraid of being heard, Tim lowered his voice and smiled slightly, "What if we went back in time and made only a tiny, tiny change to ignore time and space?" β
Leibniz said categorically: "Impossible. The more influence you have on the world, the greater the ripple effect of changing your destiny. You can't hide it. β
"Yes, that's what the parallel universe theory has been saying. The law of cause and effect is so powerful that we can see it as a weapon in disguise, and any attempt to change cause and effect will be futile, and if I insist on going back in time, maybe at some point β maybe the next second β I will die for some inexplicable reason. β
As soon as Karang sounded, everyone looked and saw Leibniz pick up the vernier caliper from the ground and cough: "You continue." β
"So......" Tim looked at the other party suspiciously, "this is the time and space stopping me, this is the time and space correction." There are no parallel universes at all, there is no closed loop, and time is still a straight line. β
Fermat turned his face and exclaimed, "But doesn't that mean there's no way to time travel!" β
"Just now it was a pessimistic view, and an optimistic view is that the past can be changed, and a parallel universe will not be formed because of this."
"And at what cost?" Leibniz asked.
"The price is this: the previous time and space are seen as false, and the current time and space are seen as real. If I had gone back in time and killed my grandfather, not only would I not exist, but you would not even have a memory of me in your mind. I'm more inclined to say that this is the real space-time correction. Tim looked at the time, took a deep breath, and as if he had made up his mind, he lifted the teleporter and said, "Actually, there is the easiest way, if I can make a time machine, then in the next second, we will see another me appear!" He comes from the future! And he'll tell me, 'Your experiment worked!' You are right! 'The time is ...... Okay, I remember, come on! β
So everyone waited for five seconds.
Tym?? Mason pouted: "It didn't work out." I'll give it to you. β
"Really?" Fermat was overjoyed.
Tim threw the teleporter over like garbage, "Okay, the diagram is in my head,
I can always do another one if I want to. Alas, shouldn't it be time for me to change subjects? What a waste of my time. β
"I told you to change the subject a long time ago. There's no need for any space-time corrections, I'll help you erase your memories. Leibniz waved his hand: "You guys go back first, I still have something to say to Tim." β
So the two necromantic creatures happily went back with their things, discussing as they went. Leibniz closed the door and nodded at Thetius: "Okay." β
Tim wondered, "What can be?" β
Theseus stepped forward and touched the switch on the back of Tyme's neck, and Tyme immediately closed his eyes, crouched down with his head in his hands, and turned back into a dead object. The plan to use the soul fire and spirit imprint of necromantic creatures as the energy and control center respectively was proposed by the master of Laboratory 03 and Master Percival fifty-seven years ago, and the first batch of prototypes (special puppets "Butterfly-kun") made according to this plan were in stock of five, and the "Tem" in front of him was one of them. After years of improvements and adjustments, the performance of this puppet can no longer be further improved, and it can now vividly simulate the expressions, tones, and movements of the characters.
However, no matter how advanced the puppet is, it may not be able to restore all of Tam's own behavior, not to mention that Tam's soul and spirit have already completely dissipated due to the violation of the taboo. Here again, the owner of Lab 01, the brain in the jar (formerly known as Hillary?? Putnam) helped. The communication between the brain in the jar and the outside world requires signal transmission, and Tham?? During Mason's time together, all information about Tame was transmitted and stored in the gray matter of the brain, which was equivalent to the spiritual imprint of Taem. In addition, the brain in the jar also dreams, and in a certain dream, it thought it was a scholar who studied time, but in fact, it was the projection of its subconscious, which was the result of its receipt of information from Taim. Extracting the scholar's personality and Tame's information, fusing them together, and adding them to the puppet, a new Tame appears that is as real as it is real.
Why go to great lengths to make a fake? That's because Leibniz wanted to entrust the Teleporter to Fermat, and Tim died too quickly to tell Fermat some theories about time. After a long discussion with Russell, Leibniz decided to "resurrect" Tame and finish all the lectures that should be taught, so as not to deviate in the future.
Since this was the first time it had been put into use, Leibniz didn't dare to fool Fermat with a ticket, so he invited Theseus to do the final debugging. Theseus's research question is: Is "me" still "me" when the parts in "me" are gradually replaced until there are no original parts in "me"? One of the applications of the subject is to maintain an absolute "self", even if this "Tem?? Maxun", but also try to ensure the similarity with the original. So just now Theseus had been watching the puppet's reaction and assessing its similarity.
It can be said that this "Taimu" represents the highest level of steel city technology and theory, and is it not priceless in the outside world?
"The performance was much better than I thought it would be. When is Tim coming back? Theseus asked, yawning. The paradox of time is nothing short of a lullaby.
Leibniz smiled: "I'll tell you then." Go and rest. "The disappearance of Tim can't be revealed yet, there is no need to cause panic, let's declare that he is away for a while.
As for this fake, it is like a confused ghost, with Tyme's knowledge reserves, which can faithfully restore all of Tam's original habits, and can even simulate Tam's way of thinking, but it is all a set program, and it can no longer burst out of genius ideas. The dead, after all, can't come back.
Parallel Worlds, Time Loops, Space-Time Corrections......
Which theory is the correct solution, I am afraid that only the leader himself knows.
