The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 482 The Order of Time

Different from the hasty meeting last time, everyone's faces were extremely serious this time, and 36 and Jiang Shiliu also appeared in the meeting room in the form of three-dimensional images.

Jiang Yu nodded to 36 and Jiang Shiliu, and then sat on the main seat: "Let's get started."

Ricks cleared his throat and said: "36 and Jiang Shiliu's views on this incident shocked us very much. Before that, our lack of imagination led to such crude conclusions. There was no way to explain the old Cheng Ping Some phenomena encountered.

"Before 36 discusses his views, let me tell you about an incident that I encountered.

"Because this incident seems to be a demonstration of his conjecture."

Jiang Yu nodded.

Ricks cleared his throat again: "That is one of my students, he is very down-to-earth, but a little taciturn.

"One time, there were only the two of us in charge of an experiment, and we worked overtime until very late. We were chatting while waiting for the results. He told me inadvertently that he could see some strange sights and hear some strange sounds when I was a child.

"When everyone called him a freak and alienated him, he realized that only he could see and hear those sights and sounds.

"He also gave an example where he saw a bouquet of flowers wilt within seconds, but in the blink of an eye, the flowers were back to normal again.

"I always thought that this student had some hallucinations, and I even found a doctor for him, but I don't know if it has any effect. After all, I have too many students, and I can't put all my energy on him.

"Later I heard that he fell in love with a female classmate, it was very sweet, I thought he was cured.

"I didn't expect him to disappear suddenly one day!"

Everyone here has obviously heard this story, so they didn't react when they heard this?
Jiang Yu praised the venue and asked, "Where did you find him later?"

In the space city, it is impossible for people to go missing. After all, the streets and alleys are full of cameras. Even if a person encounters an accident and is smashed to pieces, there is nothing left, and some clues about whereabouts can be found by using the video.

"The blame is here." Ricks said: "He has not been found yet, and the video has been checked. He just disappeared suddenly, and there are many witnesses.

"However, because this incident was so bizarre, the witnesses thought it was their own eyesight!

"Later, a strange thing happened. According to the lover of the missing person, she saw the missing person again, and the missing person said that he is now in a very strange environment.

"People all over the world have become very strange, and everyone's movements are smooth, upside down, and jumping.

"For example, in an action like clapping your hands, you just opened your hands at this moment, and the two hands were already clapping together the next moment, and everyone seemed to regard him as a transparent person.

"Later, many people claimed to have seen the missing person, but the communication time was too short to leave any evidence, so this was considered to be the fantasy of the missing person's lovers and friends of the missing person.

"Strangely enough, many people don't know the missing person until they claim to have seen the missing person.

"The lover of the missing person misses too much, and it is reasonable to have hallucinations, but why do strangers have hallucinations?"

Speaking of this, Ricks sighed: "Why didn't I think of it before, and consider these two things together?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't connect these two things together for a while.

At this moment, 36 opened his mouth and said: "We can regard the time order of our normal people as 12345, and the time order of Cheng Ping who just entered the time chaos zone may be 13245, or 32451, in short, it is chaotic.

"And the current chronological order of Elder Cheng Ping is 54321, so the chronological order of Dean Chris's missing student may be 15!"

Jiang Yu seemed to understand a lot of things at once, but felt that his thoughts were vague.

36 continued to explain: "Until now, we know too little about the dimension of time, and we have always believed that it is like a river, flowing forward endlessly.

"But that may not be the case, and it may not only have no beginning and end, but also no normal order!"

Jiang Yu finally understood everyone's expressions, why they were so dignified, and it was difficult for him to accept such conjectures for a while.

After being stunned for a while, Jiang Yu found a huge loophole: "No, no, according to what you said, there is no order in time at all.

"So we're having a meeting here now, and the next second it might be back to breakfast time, and the next second it might be 2000 years later.

"We are in infinite chaos before our eyes!"

36 leaned forward before: "Our evolution process is not just the first cellular organism, the first species to perceive the world with light, the first fish to land, and the first Homo sapiens to use fire.

"There is another line that we cannot see, or that we have not noticed until now, and that is the evolution of time consciousness.

"The word 'consciousness' might be imprecise, but I just can't find the right word for it.

"Everyone knows that although we live in a three-dimensional universe, we still have contact with the dimension of time.

"Before this, when we deduced the process of biological evolution, we only deduced in the sense of space, and the progress of time naturally continued clockwise from front to back.

"But this is very abnormal. Why do we have access to the dimension of time, but we don't consider the evolution of living beings in relation to the dimension of time?"

Jiang Yu leaned on the back of the chair in a daze. He felt that his expression at this time should be similar to the mood of ancient people who realized that humans evolved from monkeys.

36 waited for Jiang Yu, until Jiang Yu gestured for him to continue, and he continued: "The logic of biological evolution through the environment can make a guess: the dimension of time must have caused us great changes.

"Otherwise we would have evolved a lot of fish on land, or a lot of monkeys in the ocean, and our existence would have been completely out of proportion to our environment.

"We didn't notice this before because we're stuck in our solar system and don't know anything about time.

"It's different now. As we learn more and more information, I think it's time for us to lift the veil of time."

He paused and continued: "I assume that time is chaotic. In such an environment, the first creature may have just appeared in the last second, and the next second is the time when the earth is destroyed.

"Our distant ancestors had to evolve an ability to sort time, or to sort time in their own favor, in order to support our evolutionary process.

"That is to say, the first kind of creature must have the ability to enter the next second in our current sense, and then enter the next second, so that the evolution of creatures in space can continue!
"Everyone should not understand time as a river, but imagine that we are in a vast ocean, and every second of time surrounds us in disorder.

"The first single-celled organism that gave us the ability to slip into the next second without even realizing it.

"This evolution has continued until now. This ability in us does not require training at all, nor does it require us to make subjective judgments, let alone be aware of it. It is a natural behavior and ability.

"Just like when we are learning to walk, we have to be careful not to fall down, but when we grow up, do we still need to be so careful when walking?
"It all happens subconsciously because we're so used to 'walking' that we don't realize how hard it is to 'walk'.

"Of course, the ability to sort time sometimes has some deviations, but those deviations are only in a trance, we can only slightly realize that something is wrong, and the deviation will be corrected automatically.

"Almost everyone has experienced such an illusion. It is obvious that they have arrived in a strange place or met a strange person, but at a certain moment they will feel that the strange environment in front of them is very familiar.

"This phenomenon is the result of a deviation in the order of time."
