Chapter 323 The End of the Universe
Breaking the "circle", this seems to be the purpose of the "strange cycle" technology, and it is also a gift from the "Ring of Time".
The concept of "circulation" gradually took shape when Li Wenyuan learned that there was still a "previous era".
Is the universe in a "cycle"?
This is a famous "universe ending hypothesis", not only in the Milky Way, but also in the current "Spiral Galaxy Alpha" and "Cradle" galaxies have similar theories.
This is a question that must be discussed in the development of cosmology. Where will the ending of the universe go?
The "big bang origin theory" is already a widely recognized theory. After civilization has developed to a certain level, observations of the universe will make them more and more inclined to this theory.
Since the universe has an origin, it must also have an end.
In thinking about the "universe ending", "circulation" is a hypothetical ending.
This theory believes that the starting point of the universe is the "singularity" of the big bang, and it will eventually return to this singularity.
The universe is always expanding due to the initial explosion, but the speed of this expansion will have a limit. When there is enough matter in the universe and the gravitational force generated is strong enough, it will stop the expansion of the universe and pull the universe to shrink inward. The result is a singularity of infinite density and temperature.
Regardless of what happens after the contraction, this theory is also known as the "big collapse", pointing to the ending that "the universe will eventually collapse due to its own gravity and destroy everything".
But if you consider the things after the contraction, then this singularity can be regarded as the beginning of a new universe, so the universe will reciprocate in the cycle of "big bang-big collapse-big bang", which is also the principle of the "cycle" theory source.
And after Li Wenyuan knew that there was still a time point of "the last era", he also felt more and more that this seemed to be the experience of this universe.
"The nature of the universe born in each cycle is different, and the civilization formed is also different. It is very normal that the creatures of the previous universe are not acclimatized in the current universe."
"If the 'circulation theory' is confirmed, then no matter how outrageously developed a civilization is, as long as it has not surpassed the universe itself, the final outcome will only be to die in the 'big collapse'. The civilization of the last era is unwilling to let it go Destruction, trying to leave their legacy in the 'Archives' makes sense."
"...if so, is the 'strange cycle' meant to break the 'cycle'? But... those civilizations are able to find ways to leave their traces, even the 'fire chasers' have found ways to escape from the 'big crunch' 'The method of surviving in the world, why didn't they do this? Did they foresee the end of doing so? Or there is still a 'last era', and the universe has actually 'circulated' many times?"
The consideration of "the last era" and the "big collapse" made Li Wenyuan have many questions, but after that, these questions were quickly thrown away by him, because the premise of "circulation" is based on the theory of "big collapse" .
However, according to the observation results of the universe, not only the vast majority of interstellar civilizations, but even Li Wenyuan himself has to admit that the universe is actually accelerating expansion, and the "big collapse" seems to never happen.
Even some indigenous civilizations that have just ended the industrial age and entered the mechanical age can rely on the ingenuity and observation methods of their scientists to discover the fact that "the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate."
If the "big collapse" theory is true, then the universe should be decelerating and expanding, so Li Wenyuan also doubted the correctness of the "circulation" theory.
However, "Infinite God Machine" continued to speak at this time:
【Hello, hello, do you have any questions? We will know everything]
【We have been completing our mission for a long time, we thought we succeeded, but in fact this black hole is not our goal, it is too late now】
【In order to maintain the anti-gravity system, we have abandoned most of our mass outside the event horizon, maybe they have already turned into a mass of outwardly erupting energy and are thrown out by the black hole】
[We don’t know how long the time in the outside world has passed. Maybe if we stay here for a second, the outside world will pass by tens of billions of years. This is something that will cause our processor to crash. This universe may not usher in the future.” Heat death”, but we must complete our task before the “big collapse”]
【We will try our best to meet your request, in order to gradually establish a kind image in your cognition, and ask you for benevolent assistance】
【What we pay now still does not meet the minimum requirements in the calculation, which makes us uneasy. Do you have any questions? 】
"Infinite Magic Machine" is acting a little cute at this time, just as some theories agree, robots will not cheat or hide things, everything about them will be transparent and directly displayed on their faces, "Infinite God Machine" directly stated their purpose like this.
Li Wenyuan naturally has no idea about killing life, even if the other party is a machine, but what surprised him is that "Infinite Magic Machine" seems to think that the ending of the universe is a "big collapse", which is inconsistent with the current observation results and mainstream theories.
He doesn't think that this kind of mechanical intelligence, which looks like a cutting-edge machine, will not discover the phenomenon that "the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate". mainstream does not match.
So he asked about the Big Crunch.
【The "big crunch" is inevitable, this is the cycle that is going through here, this is what our creator said】
【Of course we have also noticed that the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate, and the increasingly large redshifts of distant celestial bodies have proved this fact】
【Under normal circumstances, the ending of the universe may be a "big rip", or a heat death, or a cold death, but it cannot be a "big collapse"】
【But in fact, the premise of all this is to "maintain a natural and unchanged state"】
【External interference factors will cause the ending of the universe to go in the opposite direction, this is what our Creator knows through continuous exploration】
【They believe that even if the current expansion rate of the universe is getting faster and faster, it is absolutely impossible for this universe to expand endlessly. It will enter a "big collapse" in the future and carry out an endless "cycle"]
【In order to find the "variable" that determines the outcome, our creator created us to assist them in calculating this problem】
【The final answer will definitely surprise you, I only took on the task of calculation, and the result is told by our creator】
【It is the total amount of living things that determines whether this universe will go to a "big collapse"】
