There was a dead silence in the office.

"I only found out yesterday," Professor Witten continued, turning off the television, looking at a stunned Professor Wilzek, "and it seems that this is not the first time he has made such a statement...... And just a few hours ago, I heard my assistant and I joke that there was a god on our research team who was tirelessly preaching in the lab all day. ”

The index finger and thumb rubbed together a little uneasily, and Wilzek said with a solemn expression.

"When did it start?"

"A week ago, after that experiment."

“…… I didn't expect the experiment to give him such a big irritation," Wilzek took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, reaching out and rubbing the bridge of his nose, "how can we comfort him?" ”

"This is a question you should think about, don't try to shift the blame to me," Witten continued without giving him any chance, staring at his old friend who seemed to want to kick the ball to himself, "The list of researchers of the project team of the 5Tev class lead ion collision experiment was signed by you, and now that something has gone wrong, don't you plan to deal with the aftermath?" ”

"Is there such a thing......"

Muttered in a low voice, seeing that Witten still did not let go of his plans, Professor Wilzek sighed.

“…… Well, I seem to think about it, and there is such a thing. ”

After half a minute of thinking about how to solve this problem, and finally having a decision in his heart, he raised his head and spoke.

"There's no doubt he's gone mad."

"My suggestion is that Professor Miró should take a break for a while and ...... We have to find a way to stop him from making such irresponsible statements in the IMCRC position. ”

"This is a temple of science, not a preaching house of the occult, if he really believes in those delusions of nonsense...... It would be better to find a temple to continue his studies. ”

Witten nodded.

"That's what I thought too."

It's just that at this time, there was also a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Hopefully it won't bother him more, and hopefully he'll be able to get out of it soon."

“…… Actually, I'm curious how he deduced his creationism from mass inflation. ”

Noticing Witten's strange look at him, Wilzek was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Of course, I'm just curious...... There is no doubt that this is impossible. ”

……

Lu Zhou had thought about it before, and the shock brought by this experiment to physics must be not small, but what he didn't expect was that this fierce upheaval would actually develop in a direction that he didn't expect at all.

A burgeoning religious school seems to have been born?

They believe in "God's creationism", which believes that everything is the best arrangement, and that some higher being, civilization, or even a consciousness created this universe.

They named this creature, civilization, or consciousness as the spirit of the universe, implying that this universe is "animist".

This may sound like creationism, and its adherents' interpretation of this theory is largely consistent with that.

In fact, creationism is not news in physics, and Michio Karai, one of the creators of string theory, is a big supporter of it.

In addition to this, the Calais professor has also proposed theories similar to parallel universes, time travel theory, and so on.

It's not that these things are unscrupulous, they just can't be proven or falsified.

It's like if a physicist had guessed that there was an egg before the Big Bang. While the knee-jerk reaction of the vast majority of people is how this is possible, it doesn't seem realistic to say that it must be impossible to prove it.

Man is a creature of time, and all thoughts, including thought, are the products of time.

However, time began with the Big Bang.

Therefore, logically speaking, the speculation about the pre-birth of the universe is itself impossible to prove and impossible to falsify.

To get back to the point, this new religion that believes in the spirit of the universe would only be able to develop followers in places they don't know.

After all, the point of science is only to study the mysteries that civilization does not understand, not to deprive anyone of faith.

But the crux of the matter is that this unreasonable doctrine seems to have won the trust of some IMCRC researchers, and even developed many grassroots researchers into their followers......

The situation seems to be getting a little out of control.

Standing at the door of an apartment building, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Xiao Ai."

Hearing Lu Zhou's voice, a string of fluttering dialog boxes quickly floated out of the screen.

Xiao Ai: [Yes, master?? (^?? ^*)】

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and spoke.

"Can you find data on the term Cosmic Spirit in your database?"

Xiao Ai: [Spirit of the Universe? What is that? (￣△￣； )】

Lu Zhou: "It's nothing, just a little curious." ”

So far, although he has been able to determine where Xiao Ai came from, he still hasn't quite figured out where his memories come from.

It stands to reason that before it was sent to it by the Void, everything about the Jialan civilization should have been deleted from its database.

However, according to it, many things in that memory gave it a certain degree of immediacy.

Will there be such a thing as immediacy in artificial intelligence?

Lu Zhou didn't quite understand.

And that's one of the things he's most hoping to figure out.

Xiao Ai: [Although Xiao Ai doesn't know, Xiao Ai can help the master search all the databases of the World Wide Web to search for relevant answers.] (????????????)???? 】

Lu Zhou: "No, thank you, I don't need it anymore." ”

On the steps, a tall, thin man pushed open the door and walked out.

When he saw Lu Zhou, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

After composing himself, he said hello.

"Lu Zhou?"

Lu Zhou looked at him and said.

"You're one of the few Americans who can recognize me at a glance."

"Anyway, I've been studying ......physics for so many years," Touching his nose, Professor Miró said, "So, respected Professor Lu, what kind of wind has blown you here, and I don't seem to have anything worth your wisdom to worry about." ”

From his tone, Lu Zhou read a trace of jealousy, even hostility.

This feeling made people feel a little uncomfortable, so that Lu Zhou frowned slightly.

He didn't quite understand when he offended this guy, or if there was something hidden in it that he didn't know.

However, Lu Zhou did not blame the young physics professor for such a trivial matter.

Thinking about his intentions, he opened his mouth and continued.

"Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?"

He stared at Lu Zhou's eyes for a while, as if he was looking for something, and it wasn't until half a minute later that Professor Miro shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone.

"Of course, I don't think anyone will refuse your invitation."

"I know a good location," Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng behind him, "Get ready to get off, old place." ”

Wang Peng's gaze lingered on Professor Miro's face for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay."

With that, he turned and walked towards the place where he had parked.
