Dragon Ball: Age of Earth Awakening

Earl Charles is a famous figure in the entire Keslujin Kingdom. He can even be said to be a big boss who controls the overall situation of the country. His life is also quite legendary.

When he was 5 years old, he inherited his brother's title and was honored as the youngest young earl.As a nobleman, he chose to join the army when he was 15 years old. Within 20 years, he became a general or at least a general. Then he switched to diplomacy and served as an envoy to other countries. He was famous and everyone admired him.

It's hard to imagine that a character like Charles is also the financial backer of the brain escape plan. It's really scary.

After Dr. Gallo exchanged greetings with Earl Charles, he couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, why did you help this young man complete his plan?"

"Perhaps it was out of rebellion against our family's religious beliefs." Charles laughed.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. There should be some different encounters that give you motivation. You said before, time and space, seeing everything, and things that have never happened." Dr. Gallo said seriously.

Earl Charles laughed and said: "Actually, maybe it's because I feel more sensitive. During a period of time, I always recall some wonderful things I have experienced before. These have happened more than once. If I tell others, others will also I had a look of disbelief, and over time I stopped caring.”

"There are many stars in the sky. When I was a child, I kept staring at one of them. I don't know why, but I just kept staring. For about 3 minutes, the star I was staring at completely disappeared. At the same time, I felt that my vision I could see all the other stars in it. It was the kind of thing where I was only staring at one, but suddenly I felt like I was staring at all the stars at the same time. Then when I blinked hard a few times and looked again, the star I was staring at at first appeared, but all the other stars appeared. I can’t even see the stars, and it can only last for a few seconds, after which it will be normal.”

"Uh," Dr. Gallo was speechless for a moment. This counts as

"During military training, while running around the training ground, I kept staring at my shadow, and then I discovered that starting from the middle of the shadow's head, a yellow line and a blue line began to extend to the left and right, giving me respectively The shadow traces an edge, yellow on the left and blue on the right, and I can see these two lines not only on mine, but on everyone else’s shadow, and when I told others, they said they couldn’t see it.”

"For another example, I like to stare at the window in a daze, and then I see a lot of white curves in front of me. Each line suddenly has a starting point, and then extends in an arbitrary arc in any direction. The entire line suddenly disappears when it extends no more than two centimeters. I have seen it in other places, such as classrooms and waiting rooms."

Hearing this, Dr. Gallo wanted to complain, maybe you were poisoned by eating wild mushrooms.

"Also, every time I was sick when I was young, when I was lying in bed half asleep at night, I would feel that the whole room had become very big, but I didn't think it was so big. Then all the furniture in the room turned into cubes and fell down on me. I was particularly afraid of this kind of thing when I was young. I always thought it was a childhood nightmare. But when I grow up, every time I go to a room where there are many people talking around me, but I feel bored and don’t want to listen, I will feel that the surrounding people are talking. Everything is slowly enlarging. Only my own size remains the same, but others do not become larger. Only objects, from near to far, slowly become larger and farther in the same proportion. Then I shake my head and it becomes normal. Yes, I was very conscious during the whole process."

Can these explain anything at all? These are nonsense reasons. Dr. Gallo thought that these Earl Charles were either old fools or deliberately talking nonsense to him.

He and Du Fei had never been able to reach an agreement on this issue before. Although the bespectacled man Du Fei tried hard to elaborate and explain to Dr. Gallo a very novel world view extended from religious existence, it may be that Dr. Gallo was too "stupid" ”, but in the end I was not able to fully understand its deep connotation.

Is it necessary to have another meeting with Charles now?

However, Du Fei seemed to be very optimistic about Dr. Gallo. If he were those people in the past, he might have felt that those people were hopelessly stupid and had failed to live up to his expectations for his colleagues. But that would be Dr. Gallo who made it clear: Regarding For the same question, choosing a does not mean that you do not accept or deny option b at all. It just means that you have different choices from different angles.

Regarding theology and science, Schrödinger’s cat is close to theology. It proposes that human consciousness can substantially affect the material world. However, this is not an idealist view that science strongly denies. But the problem is that Schrödinger’s cat is really It tortured countless scientists to the point of ecstasy.

There seemed to be some disagreement between Charles and Dr. Gallo. When the issue of religion was mentioned, Dr. Gallo did not want to get involved and said, "I am very happy to know what you have to say about religion. If, as you said, religion is all In order to write a good script. How do you explain science? I believe in science, and science can be proven."

This is another nonsense. For scientists, their lifelong belief is to find the most amazing things, science, the ultimate truth, and all the truth.

"Okay. Now it's my turn to tell you, dear Dr. Gallo, you said you believe in science. What do you mean by this? Do you mean you believe in a certain scientific conclusion?"

Damn it, come again

"I believe not only in scientific conclusions, I believe in everything scientific." Dr. Gallo replied immediately.

"I think you should understand that any scientific research has basic premises, which scientists call axioms."

Having said this, Dr. Gallo suddenly thought of infinite energy technology. Is there any axiom for studying infinite energy technology? In fact, scientists can hardly find axioms or postulates.

"As the best scientist, you should naturally understand this premise. Even if you don't know, it doesn't matter. Let me review it for you. The scientific system has a basic assumption. Starting from this assumption, theorems and formulas are derived and the entire theoretical system is established. "

Dr. Gallo curled his lips. He naturally knew this. Classical physics assumes that space and time are uniform. This is a postulate that cannot be proved in itself.

For another example, the famous theory of relativity assumes that the speed of light is constant. This assumption cannot even be proved by the proposer himself, but without this assumption, he would not be able to develop his own theory.

"This is like saying that 112 is a postulate of mathematics, but no one can prove 112. If you want to use the entire mathematical system, you can only accept this postulate. In other words, you can only believe in 112."

Dr. Gallo nodded. It couldn't be simpler. Who said 112 can't prove it?

I'll give you an apple first, and then I'll give you another apple. Don't you have two apples?

"But induction is used here, the basic method of scientific research. This experiment can be done many times, but strictly speaking it cannot prove anything. How many experiments do we have to do before we know that these experiments are not special cases? Even if it is repeated many times, How do we know that we are not overgeneralizing? If we saw the sun rising in the east every day in the past, can we guarantee that it will rise in the east in the future?"

Just as house prices around the world have been rising, is it guaranteed that they will continue to rise forever?

"You mean that this kind of logical dilemma arises because induction itself cannot be proven. Scientists can only choose to believe in it and use it. Otherwise, even the most basic scientific research cannot be carried out." Dr. Gallo found it very interesting. It's not like he hasn't thought about similar issues before, but he quickly moved on to other things.

Earl Charles rubbed his eyes. It was not easy to finally have someone with whom he could have an academic discussion.

He said: Not only induction, but also causation, another basic tool of scientific research, cannot be proven. "

"causality rate"

"Well, I have always questioned the causality rate: for example, when the sun shines on a stone, the stone becomes hot, so people say that the sun is the cause and the stone becomes hot is the result, but I think these people only see two isolated Phenomenon, no causal connection can be seen at all. Who can prove that this connection exists objectively and does not only exist in people's minds."

Dr. Gallo said resolutely: "Wait a minute, if you want to question it based on your logic, I'm afraid no one can answer it directly from ancient times to the present."

"So Dr. Gallo, what do you think?"

"I think you want to point out that the causality rate may be people's subjective imagination. You are really an idealist, and you are deviant from the beginning." Dr. Gallo is a smart person after all, so how can he not understand his train of thought.

At this point, Charles once again turned the topic back to religion and asked: "You said... Can a carefully crafted piece of art lead people to see God? No, to be precise, it can lead people to see the only God." the truth”

"The only truth you say is not still referring to the creator of the universe, right?"

"No, it is the root of everything. For example, you are a preacher in the middle world. You have been living and sleeping all the way. You often have hallucinations due to malnutrition. When you arrive at the Holy Land and look up, you see the sun shining through the church. When the glass shines through, what do you see?”

Before Dr. Gallo could answer, Du Fei, the man with eyes, snapped his fingers, and many beautiful patterns inside the church appeared on the big screen. These patterns were very neat and excellent in geometric three-dimensional aesthetics. They seemed to be trying to transform human beings. It's like the soul is sucked in.

Dr. Gallo nodded and said: "Yes, those patterns can't be drawn casually. They include art, geometry, and mathematics. In the past medieval times, if you wanted to use science to explain religion, you might have asked for it. Your life, what you said to me at length is enough to burn you to death ten thousand times."

"Hahahaha"

"Hahaha..."

Charles and Dufy laughed at the same time, not because it was funny, but because it hit reality.

"What happened to those patterns?" Dr. Gallo knew the point was coming.

"We highly suspect that the people who painted the paintings definitely didn't paint them all."

Dr. Gallo didn't understand and was a little confused. Do these patterns have fixed templates or something?

Earl Charles said: "I once knew a businessman in the desert. He survived in the desert for twelve days. His camel died and his face was sunburned. Logically speaking, if he could survive, he should be grateful. He has a hard life, but he tells his wife that he has seen God."

"Forehead"

"Don't worry, a diver I investigated fainted after seeing a large number of luminous objects at the bottom of the sea. After he was rescued, the first thing he said was that he had seen God."

Dr. Gallo's face was expressionless. The first one was an illusion, and the second one was also an illusion. He didn't think that the god in heaven would come down to earth to help people all day long.

"You must have thought that those were hallucinations, not worth mentioning, and you must have wanted to ask what is the connection between the two. In fact, they both suffered from brief epileptic symptoms at the time, and the optic nerve is directly connected to the area where religious beliefs are produced."

After saying that, Du Fei pointed to the brain area on the big screen and patiently explained that if he and Dr. Gallo were debating before, then now it is the experimental data that supports him. In short, now we have to play for real. of.

"You mean that the patterns in the clubhouse can guide people to see the unknown god, or the only truth?"

Du Fei continued to snap his fingers, and the content on the big screen changed again, "Based on our repeated investigations and comparisons, we found that the pattern symmetry of most religions on the earth can completely stimulate the visual cortex of the brain."

Then, beautiful patterns appeared on the screen one after another, and different patterns had different effects.Dr. Gallo saw a lot of geometric shapes, and he didn't think they were any different.

"We noticed the combinations of colors in different sizes and positions of these graphics. After computer testing, we tested them one by one to see which pattern can have a greater impact on the human brain."

Dr. Gallo looked around and asked curiously: "Is it possible that your entire project team is constantly looking for patterns?"

"Of course not, we are studying the brain, have you forgotten?" Du Fei reminded.

Dr. Gallo nodded, it is true, after all, it is better to study the brain.

"So your conclusion is"

"The entire history of religion is related to brain escape. God is not an angel with wings or a monster with three heads and six arms. He is a bug and the product of neurological defects."

"Product of neurological defect"

"Yes, as long as we find this, we can find a shortcut to get closer to God, or we can find the key to evolution."

If it weren't for the prominent reputation of Earl Charles, Du Fei himself was indeed very normal. Speaking so many theories was not something ordinary people could do. Otherwise, Dr. Gallo might have left early, not wanting to waste any more time.

"So the key has been found? I don't believe that Earl Charles' investment will be in vain."

"This partially confirms our evolutionary key theory, because every time we start testing, when the subject's brain area starts to respond, it always suddenly calms down."

"That's some kind of defense mechanism, and once you get to the edge of jailbreaking, the defense mechanism kicks in."

Dr. Gallo was slightly surprised. He still remembered that when he and Du Fei started talking, he asked about the punishment mechanism that should be triggered when escaping from prison.
