The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 526

"Parallel universe?"

Thanos' complexion changed slightly, and he silently clenched the Infinity Gauntlet.

Long before the sphere of influence of the apes on Earth rapidly expanded to the entire Milky Way, countless generations of extraterrestrial scholars turned their attention to the sea of ​​stars, trying to explore the mysteries of the beginning of the creation of the universe.

The scientific research level of alien civilizations far exceeds that of human beings, but there is no essential difference in the overall theoretical direction. They also have gravity theory, superstring theory, M theory, particle physics and quantum field theory.

Li Ang looked at the expression on Thanos's face playfully, and said with a smile: "I have looked through the database, no matter which civilization, there are only relevant theories, and there is no clear basis for the existence of parallel worlds.

Do you know why? "

Purple Potato Head Thanos did not speak, although he absorbed the scientific research essence of the entire Titan civilization, and continued to grab the scientific research results of other civilizations during his journey to conquer the galaxy. He has both brains and muscles, and is very familiar with theoretical physics.

This question is too low level.

Li Ang answered for him: "Because it can't be observed.

If the light emitted from point A is just received by point B after 50 billion years, then the distance between the two points AB at this time is definitely more than 50 billion light years-this is because the universe is expanding rapidly all the time.

As a result, no matter what kind of powerful instrument is used, no matter what kind of observation method is used, the boundary of the universe that an individual life can "see" with his own eyes is limited, and this limit is about 400 billion light years.

In other words, the event light cone formed by 400 billion light-years is just the 'cosmic horizon' of the life in the universe.Beyond the light cone, there is no interference and no observation. "

Thanos is silent, his fantasy of "extinction of half of life" comes from the "cosmic horizon" formed by 400 billion light years.

If these 400 billion light-years are the space in which life in the universe can move and move, then according to the principle of entropy increase, life will exhaust all resources sooner or later.

"If the cosmic horizon with a diameter of 400 billion light-years is regarded as a perfect sphere, then there are endless spheres adjacent to this sphere.
Among these small balls, there are also roughly average particles, and these particles will be freely arranged and combined to form one after another completely different small balls.

As long as the number of small balls is large enough, the arrangement and combination of particles inside the small balls will always appear similar, that is to say, different cosmic horizons are likely to have similar things.

This is the hypothesis of multiple universes, or parallel worlds. "

The long-familiar scientific theories still make Thanos sway.

Infinite universe!The possibilities are endless!Unlimited journey!Thanos couldn't help trembling slightly due to the distant meaning behind this, but his scientific literacy still forced him to think calmly.

"However, this theory may never be verified, can it?" Thanos said calmly: "Everything outside the light cone is false, and the cosmic horizon is a prison.
Even if there is a superluminal spaceship capable of leapfrogging planet by planet, it may not be able to catch up with the accelerated expansion of the universe.

Can't be observed, can't be interfered with, can't be touched, so what do those infinite parallel worlds have to do with me? "

"Indeed, this is the troublesome part of theoretical physics." Li Ang laughed, "However, an existence I encountered a long time ago revealed to me the possibility of parallel universes colliding with each other."

Subconsciously, a name popped into Thanos' mind.

Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension, the Devourer of the Stars, the Key to the Door, the One who returns all things in one life and all things into one.

Even in the vast galactic borders ruled by the three empires, Dormammu exists as a mobile natural disaster and cannot be avoided. No one will appreciate him except those really crazy wizards, mystics, and scientists. interest.

"The dark dimension controlled by Dormammu is actually a pocket universe. There is a huge difference between the physical laws of this universe and the regular universe I live in. Because of this, he was able to use the tungsten-plutonium electron channel to replace energy."

Li Ang used a nostalgic tone to describe the most powerful enemy he had encountered since his debut, "However, in essence, the biggest difference between the dark dimension and the conventional universe comes from the random fluctuation of the 'field'."

The field is the form in which matter exists.

Taking the Higgs field as an example, elementary particles such as electrons and quarks pass through the ubiquitous Higgs field, neither accelerating nor decelerating, keeping their mass unchanged.

If you take away the Higgs field somewhere, the particle suddenly loses mass, and if you super-double the Higgs field, the particles passing through it will also double in mass.

Purple Potato Head's thinking speed is not slow, to a certain extent, it is comparable to a supercomputer in human form. Almost at the same moment, an inexplicable inspiration jumped into his mind.

Subconsciously, Thanos blurted out, "Inflation theory!"

The so-called inflation theory refers to the creation theory that the universe expands at an increasing rate over a period of time. This theory solves many problems, such as the horizon problem, the cosmic background radiation, and the current situation of the accelerated expansion of the universe.

During the creation process, the randomness of quantum fluctuations caused slight differences in the inflation field, which eventually led to slight differences between the physical laws of the dark dimension and the conventional universe. It is this extremely small difference that created Dormammu, a mobile natural disaster.

Thanos's brain was running fast, and he continued: "If Dormammu's dark dimension is regarded as an independent pocket universe, combined with the theory of cosmic inflation, it is not difficult to come up with an imagination——

The universe is a huge piece of cheese, the cheese part represents the region with a larger inflation value, and the hole part represents the region with a smaller inflation value.

The regular universe we live in, and the dark dimension of Dormammu, are holes in the cheese where the hyper-rapid cosmic expansion has stopped and the calm cosmic soup has settled to form the stars and all things.

Outside the cheese hole, the universe is still ruled by a high-value inflation field, expanding at a rate comparable to the beginning of creation.

And because of the randomness of quantum fluctuations, low-value inflation fields will appear immediately, and holes similar to our conventional cosmic space or dark dimensions will continue to emerge in the expanding cheese of the universe. "

"Emerging and dying, illusions arise and disappear." Li Ang said with a smile: "Pocket universes, or bubble universes, are constantly emerging. These bubble universes all obey the same basic physical rules, but their physical characteristics are very different from each other." .

However, when the unit of measurement becomes infinite, it is enough to appear the relatively close bubble universe, which is what we call the parallel world.

For ordinary interstellar civilizations, just stepping out of the cosmic horizon is considered an impossible miracle, not to mention overcoming the barrier of inflation and coming into contact with the similar bubble universe. "

Having said that, Li Ang lowered his head, looked at the orange soul gem inlaid in the Infinity Gauntlet, and said with emotion: "The true function of the soul gem,

It is to allow the user to directly cross the cosmic horizon, cross the cosmic inflation, and connect to another self in the similar bubble universe in a way that completely violates the laws of physics.

This kind of connection is not only a fusion of souls, but also takes two different selves as fixed time-space "anchor points", and adjusts the value of the inflation field of the bubble universe evenly, so that the two bubble universes are finally merged in one Together.

Taking cheese as an example, it is to break the gap between two non-adjacent holes and integrate them into one.

The two merging bubble universes are so similar that even the user of the Soul Stone can't tell the difference,
The seven-color divine light you used just now, as well as the illusion you and I were immersed in, are just additional effects produced by the fusion of the universe-you merged with the parallel world you, and extracted the abilities used by the parallel world you.

If I'm not wrong, the Dormammu who passed away was probably one of the owners of the soul gem. With the help of that fusion, he created a pocket universe that is slightly different from the conventional universe.
It's just because his IQ is too low, he just regards all this as a gift from heaven, and fails to discover its essence. "

Thanos lowered his head, staring blankly at the soul gem,

He had also secretly tried the soul gem before. In addition to the ability of the seven-color divine light, he also discovered during the experiment that the soul gem leads to a small idyllic planet.

At that time, Thanos thought that the soul gem had various functions,
Only now did he finally understand why the infinite gem is the ultimate mystery of the universe, and why the soul gem is the most powerful and mysterious existence among the infinite gems.

Infinite parallel universes, infinite self, infinite fusion, infinite abilities, as long as he masters the soul gem, he can become omnipotent-God.

Subconsciously, Thanos clenched the Infinity Gauntlet tightly. He has already grasped the secret enough to end everything. It is only a matter of time before he conquers the endless void, let alone his long-cherished wish in life.

However, a palm was pressed on the golden infinite gauntlet.

Li Ang smiled and told the biggest secret in his life,
"I am a time traveler."

Li Ang used a pure and strange force that was completely beyond Thanos' imagination to slowly pull the Infinity Gauntlet in his direction, "I have lived twice,

Before today, I always thought that the second life was just a gift from heaven, a coincidence.

However, I understand now that these are destiny."

At that moment, Thanos seemed to see a phantom holding a long sword emerging from behind Li Ang, Yang Tian staring at the endless thunderclouds,
"If what you fused was the stable and peaceful you in the parallel world, then what I fused just now was myself who was doomed to die under the catastrophe."

Li Ang sighed and pulled the Infinity Gauntlet in front of him, and slowly pressed his fingers on the soul gem,

boom! !

The sound of the big voice, the endless phantoms, lined up behind Li Ang,

Wearing a crown and holding a scepter, the solemn and holy pope;
Ordinary high school students who are thinking about how to strike up a conversation with their beautiful tablemates;

Carrying a long sword on his back, killing the quiet swordsman jumping on the edge of the city wall;
A beggar covered in dirt and poor and no one cares about him;

High-spirited young entrepreneurs standing at the apex of the wave of the times;
A mad alchemist holding a test tube containing an unknown liquid and wearing a pig's mouth gas mask;

A primitive shaman who mutters frantic prayers and dances around the campfire;

A faceless underground evil god sleeping in the muddy flesh with endless tentacles growing all over his body;
They are not Leon, they are all Leon.

At this moment, Li Ang merged into one.
