Chapter 122: There is no macro, only micro

Inside the livestream.

The barrage of comments vanished suddenly, only to erupt again like a flood.

"Holy crap, first there is conscious observation, then the universe, instead of the universe existing first and then conscious observation... My god, isn't this completely backwards?"

"No, I study physics, this isn't backwards; even the hypothetical answer given by Jiang Zhe isn't just a hypothesis; it's highly likely to be true."

"What? The hypothetical isn't hypothetical, but true, why?"

"Because, if you look at the macro universe from a giant's perspective, the universe from a giant's perspective becomes micro, and whenever it is micro, it is suitable to apply the observation and non-observation of Quantum Mechanics."

"Also, his last sentence really struck a chord with me; the universe in space is indeed the existence of waves and particles; that is, wave-particle duality; if you delve deeper, it involves String Theory, which is even more terrifying—the universe has neither waves nor particles; all there is are very tiny, vibrating [strings]."

"Hiss~~~ But I still feel like my brain isn't quite clear, I have some doubts."

"To the person above, +1, I have the same feeling, I'm just one kick away from knowing the truth."

"..."

Listening to Jiang Zhe's eloquent talk, it was as if some strings in the audience's minds had snapped.

As for what exactly, they couldn't quite put it into words.

...

In the lecture hall of the Kyoto University of Science.

Professor Hua Yunfeng and Old Feng exchanged glances, both seeing the shock on each other's faces.

Even all the experts in the audience revealed looks of disbelief in their eyes.

They knew.

Even if this [First Consciousness] was hypothesized by Jiang Zhe.

Once this hypothesized [First Consciousness] appeared, it led to all subsequent life.

After the science scholars pondered, they actually nodded frantically, in total agreement.

Because...

In Quantum Mechanics, this is indeed the case.

In the Microscopic World, quantum particles, without the influence of an observer, are indeed in an indeterminate state.

For humans, the universe is: macro.

But for whom would the universe be micro?

That would naturally be the [Super Civilization Life], which is larger, vaster, and more distant.

For the [Super Civilization Life] outside the universe, the universe in their eyes is merely micro.

Therefore!

Microscopic quantum particles, which are the planets, stars, and galaxies in human eyes... to the Super Civilization Life, these are naturally even more micro than micro!

Subtly, the hearts of all the science scholars trembled; it was as if they had seen the [Macro Universe] from another dimension.

However...

For some science scholars, they were hesitant.

"He hypothesized the first consciousness appearing first, and then the universe came into existence; this is indeed very professional; but it still feels a bit off."

"What's wrong with it? Did he indirectly refute the Big Bang Theory model?"

"It seems so. In my original understanding—the universe was initially a series of chaotic basic particle movements, forming black holes, then exploding, and consciousness only appeared many years after the explosion—but looking at it this way, it feels wrong again; I study Quantum Mechanics, and I know the importance of observation and non-observation; with observation, the chaotic universe has order; without observation, the chaotic universe has no order."

"I can understand you, brother. As long as you raise your perspective infinitely; raise it to outside the universe, let's not worry about what is outside the universe for now, just know that outside the universe is very, very, very big; big enough to exceed the upper limit of human cognition; when you and I stand at the [very top], looking down at the universe, we discover that the universe in our eyes is not even as good as a speck of dust."

As soon as these words were spoken, those hesitant scholars suddenly brightened up, and then nodded like crazy.

"So that's it; with a different perspective, macro can also become micro."

"Exactly, macro and micro are just relative to the target observer; we look at the universe, it's macro. The apex outside the universe looks at the universe, it's micro; since it's micro, it applies the observation and non-observation of Quantum Mechanics."

"Even, thinking about it further, it's terrifying—our universe is being observed at every moment; as for who it is, we have no idea!"

"..."

Subsequently, the atmosphere at the scene gradually quieted down.

Everyone fell into deeper contemplation.

Some doubted life, some grasped new thinking, new ideas, and new horizons.

...

Huaqing University, Professor's dormitory, Room 808.

After hearing Jiang Zhe's explanation, Professor Zhuang's originally appreciative expression turned serious and earnest.

After thinking carefully, he understood Jiang Zhe's intention.

"The hypothetical answer Jiang Zhe gave is just to set a higher dimensional civilization outside the universe, and through that dimensional civilization outside the universe, elevate our human perspective within the three-dimensional universe. After elevating our perspective, he lets us all discover—"

"Macro, in essence, does not exist."

"What exists has always been micro, micro, micro; 1xN power of micro merging together becomes [Pseudo-Macro]."

"Whenever it is a Microscopic World, it must apply Quantum Mechanics."

Speaking of this, Professor Zhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, "This little guy, saying he is sophistical doesn't quite fit; rather, he is swapping concepts, but... this swap of concepts is brilliant!"

Soon, a look of sudden realization appeared on Professor Zhuang's face.

"Hahahaha!"

The two women beside him felt somewhat unable to understand.

The elder sister Zhou Qing asked: "Teacher, swapping concepts, why is it brilliant? After listening, I just feel it's a bit magical and incredible."

The younger sister Zhou Qingqing raised her hand: "+1!"

Professor Zhuang looked at the two and explained:

"He first quoted the 'tao te ching' from philosophy: The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced all things."

"This [Tao], placed in our human cognition, can be understood as [Heavenly Tao]. What is [Heavenly Tao]? Naturally, it is the [First Intelligent Consciousness]!"

"Only with the [First Intelligent Consciousness] is there One, with One there is Two, with Two there is Three; with Three there is all things, and with all things, there is us."

Hearing this, the two women were stunned for a moment, and then their faces revealed a wondrous smile.

Professor Zhuang continued to explain:

"Moreover, this Mr. Jiang did not deny the physics model of the [Big Bang Theory], but rather, based on the Big Bang model of the macro universe—"

"He deleted the concept of [Macro], or secretly replaced it with [Micro]."

"And this [Micro] is not even abrupt!"

"It is not abrupt because—the macro universe, in front of greater intelligent life, the macro in our eyes is indeed the micro in their eyes!"

Looking at the two women, Professor Zhuang pointed at Jiang Zhe on the screen with a smile, "So I say, he swapped it well; he swapped it brilliantly; he swapped it perfectly."

"Ultimately, what theory does micro apply to?"

The two women didn't even think, giving the answer: "Quantum Mechanics."

"Correct, it is Quantum Mechanics."

Professor Zhuang held his breath, calmed his mood, and spoke again: "The final answer appears: outside the universe, there is something observing us at every moment; note, it is outside the universe, not the [Heavenly Tao] within the universe!!!"

"So his hypothetical answer: First Consciousness."

"In front of greater intelligent life, we are at the level of the micro universe..."

"Therefore, applying Quantum Mechanics, his approach is correct!"

Once these words were spoken, Zhou Qing and Zhou Qingqing couldn't help but swallow, their eyes trembling.

This was like a proof by contradiction, yet not like one. What kind of proof by contradiction turns an impossible answer into a possible one?

Once you delve into the conception, you can cleverly discover—Jiang Zhe's control of details is enough to make even more professional people sigh in admiration.

As expected of Jiang Zhe, he easily accomplished what other hosts could not!

What the hesitant and confused experts in the Kyoto University of Science lecture hall were wondering about earlier was exactly what Professor Zhuang said: there has never been a macro, there is only micro, even if the micro is huge, it is still micro.

Just then. Inside the big screen, Jiang Zhe held his headset and heard the doubts of the audience. So he began to explain.

"I have discovered quite a few doubts from experts and the audience through the barrage."

"Actually, the point you are all confused about is naturally: there is no such thing as macro at all, there is only micro. No matter how large the micro is; it is still micro; it is just a different perspective."

"Do you remember the [Opposition] I emphasized earlier?"

"Macro and micro are just the [Opposition] of concepts that we humans give to very large and very small things; it does not have a 100% correct definition."

As the words fell, all the experts and audience members who had been confused gasped in belated realization. The expressions of confusion on people's faces finally turned into astonishment.

"Holy crap..."

"In a few words, I understood everything; as expected of you!"

"This feeling of absorbing knowledge, I feel like I can immediately do 100 sets of exam papers, and get full marks."

"Awesome, my brain has grown."

"+1"

"Alright, the first step is finished; please remember this step, it is crucial."

"If you want to decipher Zhuang Zhou Dreams of a Butterfly, then you cannot do without this step."

"Next, let us continue!"
