Chapter 962: Climbing the ladder

"Atomism has an implicit assumption that'matter can be continuously subdivided, but the smallest particles of matter cannot be subdivided.' This assumption cannot be said right or wrong, because it is a kind of Assumptions are not truths and cannot be verified. We can only choose, believe, or not believe."
The magicians nodded lightly, everyone knew the truth.
"So, if you consider it from a purely logical point of view, I think that the assumptions of atomic theory are contradictory."
"If matter can be subdivided continuously, then the smallest material particle can still be subdivided. If the smallest matter cannot be subdivided, it is no longer a matter!"
The magicians present were stunned for a moment, vaguely aware of something.
"Since matter is subdividable, why should we say that the smallest particles of matter cannot be subdivided? Why can't it be subdivided? Is it because the separation force is not large enough? This means that as long as the power is large enough, we can still decompose all matter. "
"So, I broke down this hypothesis, and under this hypothesis, I constructed a new hypothesis. That is, matter can be continuously subdivided. Once the smallest matter particle is divided, it cannot be called the'minimum matter'. It’s called
minimal existence
.

"Why is it called the ‘minimal existence’?"
"First, because I can't determine what the'minimal existence' is, but we can be sure that this thing, it exists. Even if we can't perceive it, or even understand it, it exists. Otherwise, our world It ceases to exist."
"Second, we are not only unable to determine what the'minimum existence' is, or even whether it is material, non-material, or a certain peculiar state of matter. In summary, we can only temporarily name the minimum existence. Do you understand this point?"
Everyone nodded and shook their heads.
"We will discuss energy next. Energy is actually a quantification for us to measure a certain substance or a certain state. It is a perception, not an existence. For example, every high-level mage can discover that we The fire, thunder and lightning in the eyes are actually made of matter. It is not energy. Energy is just an abstract feeling. What we call heat and cold has nothing to do with energy in nature, but only matter or the interaction between matter."
"I'll give you the simplest example. I am a real person, Master Larens is also a real person. When we are together, some people will say that one plus one equals two, which is two people. But in fact, this Does the world exist 1? Does 2 exist? Does not exist. 1 is just a symbol. This symbol represents an abstract existence. It is valuable and useful. The mathematics it composes is great. However, numbers, like energy, are What we use to measure a substance or its effect does not exist in itself."
"In addition to matter, there is also a certain interaction between matter. We can call it force, or field, or even another matter, or something else. In fact, all of this, like matter, is equally subdividable. Because we are also unable to determine what it is, we can only call it the minimal effect."
"If the formulation of the principle I suppose is correct, then a vague ultimate principle of magic appears, that is, the relationship between the smallest existence and the smallest effect. Once we have determined what the smallest existence is, once we have determined what is the smallest existence Minimal effect, then everything about magic will be solved!"
"However, we have to keep in mind that we cannot be sure what form the smallest existence and the smallest effect are. 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. Even the smallest existence It is likely to be one with the smallest effect, and it is the same thing. Or, the whole world is actually constructed by the same smallest existence."
The chamber was silent.
"Is Master Zeno here?"
"Yes." A master with a full forehead stood up.
"This is the famous big liar Zeno." Su Ye smiled.
The audience burst into laughter, and Zeno smiled kindly.
"Master Zeno, please sit down. Master Zeno once proposed a famous Achilles chasing a tortoise paradox. Achilles is a famous runner in Greece, but Zeno believes that he can't even catch up with a tortoise. He said that Achilles and the tortoise were 100 meters apart, and Achilles and the tortoise ran forward at the same time. When Achilles chased 100 meters, the tortoise had already ran forward by 1 meter. Next, Ah. Chloes could only chase one meter forward. But at this time, the tortoise ran a little further. So Achilles could only catch up to the distance between the two, and could never catch up to the tortoise."
"But we all know that even if all the turtles in the world run together, Achilles can catch up. But why do we always find it difficult to refute the old liar Zeno? Even he himself doesn't know how to refute himself. ."
The magicians laughed again.
"I have been thinking about this issue 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 macro 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 use a macroscopic perspective, any mathematician can calculate that Achilles can catch up with the tortoise. But if we look at it from a discontinuous microscopic perspective, what will the world look like? This requires atomism."
"We must not only 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. The smallest existence."
"This creates another problem. The smallest existence that constitutes the system that affects Achilles chasing the tortoise is a huge number, a number far greater than the stars on the infinite plane and the number of creatures on the infinite plane. "
"What’s more frightening is that from the most microscopic perspective, each smallest existence is independent and non-continuous. This leads to the fact that each of us can only observe one smallest existence at the same time, but cannot observe. Other minimum beings. Once we start observing the next minimum being, we cannot even determine the state of the previous minimum being."
"In other words, in the microcosm of the natural state, everything is impossible to determine 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 infinite little people. People, running around!"
"It may run to the front, it may run to the back, it may also run to the left and right, or even to the sky. No one can be sure which villain can catch up with the turtle."
"So, why, in the end, in the macro world, all of us feel that Achilles can catch up with the tortoise?"
"I can't make a conclusion, what I can say is, first, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
"Secondly, we should never judge a problem from just one angle and a set of rules."
"Thirdly, in the micro world, everything is chaotic and increasingly chaotic, but in the macro world, our wisdom can clarify everything and then build a progressive order."
"Finally, the micro world tells us that everything is possible, and the macro world tells us that we can decide which possibility we like best."
"This is how I combined first principles, logic, atomism, and axiomatization to break down the old logical foundations and assumptions, the original theory, and the microcosm."
"I, like Democritus, Zeno, and other masters, may not be able to build a road leading to the end of magic for you, but we have lit up the beacon of magic in the extreme distance. These magical lighthouses, It may all go out, but one day someone will walk to the ruins of the lighthouse and drop a small white flower."
"Philosophy has principles, magic has principles, and everyone's life has principles."
"May each of us find the ultimate principle of magic and life."
Su Ye finished speaking and left the conference hall.
Shin Kong Land.
The earth trembled lightly, rabbits and mice hopped out of their nests, magpies hulled away from the branches, and hordes of bison and wild horses fled hurriedly.
Everyone everywhere hurriedly ran out of the house, standing in an empty place and looking around.
The white clouds in the sky rolled, being torn into strips by invisible force, like white cloth strips.
Slowly, the white sky clouds changed rapidly, like a river of clouds surging in all directions radially.
Right above Xinguang Continent, at the meeting point of all the clouds and rivers, a huge white whirlpool slowly revolves.
In the white vortex, thunder flickered and sky fire burned, as if connecting to another powerful world.
All those who looked at the cloud vortex had stinging eyes and aching shoulders, and their heads were slowly pressed by the invisible force, making it difficult to look directly.
Boom...boom...
The drums sounded and spread all over the world.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The long horn sounded, shocking the Quartet.
Everyone's peripheral vision saw that a long strip of pure white cloud emerged below the cloud vortex.
Then, one more appeared, one after another, and it was laid continuously from top to bottom.
A magnificent sky cloud ladder descends from top to bottom, falling in the center of Xinguang Continent, Stonehenge Valley.
Shining, bright, holy, stalwart.
The pale breath visible to the naked eye spread, ring after ring, like a wind and wind, sweeping the entire Saint Yuan Continent.
Wherever they passed, sentient beings trembled, and all spirits fell to the ground.
Birds do not fly, beasts do not jump, insects do not sing, fish do not swim.
Hundreds of flowers are rolled up, ten thousand trees are weeping branches, and weeds are creeping.
"Go on the ladder..." some old people murmured to themselves. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
Suddenly, thousands of black fog hits from all directions.
At the tip of the strip of black mist, the angry head cursed loudly, the ferocious beast head roared wildly, the weird demon head cursed in a low voice, the peaceful head smirked...
The endless magic mist is like a grassland fire, instantly burning across the sky, isolating the sky clouds, and breaking the cloud ladder.
The black magic mist enveloped the entire Xinguang Continent.
"It's over..."
The cloud shivered.
The Laoshan God and the Giant Tree God looked at each other, horrified, even the evil black witch God Conferred God, there are only tens of thousands of magic fog.
But now the magic fog actually covers the sky and the earth, more than hundreds of millions.
"Wang!" Little Corgi roared up to the sky.
