66: Chapter 66: Holographic Projection and the Ultimate Death Dream

Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something else. She added another question: "Is consciousness an intangible or a tangible existence?"

This question quickly got the netizens thinking.

"Intangible, it must be intangible. Consciousness is an ethereal existence."

"I think it's like data, or even binary code?"

"Could it exist in the form of sound? After all, the sounds of 'Apocalypse' have appeared in countries all over the world, like God speaking, or some kind of voice entering their minds?"

"Or perhaps mind-to-mind communication?"

Their guesses were bizarre and very imaginative.

In a private room at a teahouse on the Third Ring Road in Kyoto, Second Senior Brother Zheng Ming watched the television screen in the room.

"The Tao Te Ching says: 'Elusive and vague, yet within it are forms.'"

"In my opinion, within that zero-point field, consciousness information might turn into some kind of rune." "Or even innate Taoist patterns!"

This time, he did not refute Jiang Zhe. It was because their national studies had also described this possibility.

Beside him, the theology expert Xu Mu shook his head gently, "The comments are right; sound and concept fit better."

"Like an epiphany, people suddenly understand that concept, reaching straight to the essence." "It is a purely spiritual form of existence, not material images or text."

Zhou Ming didn't understand these things and didn't offer any opinion.

...

On the sixth floor of an old building, in the living room. Seeing Xiao Yu lost in thought and completely puzzled, Jiang Zhe smiled slightly and directly revealed the answer:

"Information after death will exist in the zero-point field in the form of light, or in other words, as a holographic projection." "Huh?"

Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes widened, thinking she had misheard. "A projection, or a holographic projection?"

As soon as he spoke, the live stream chat exploded.

"Holy crap, a projection, a holographic projection?" "Wait, my processor can't handle this. Information after death becomes a holographic projection?"

"Damn, does that mean our essence after death just turns into a projection?"

"Damn, I feel goosebumps. I won't stop until I'm shocked two and a half times by Xiaoyu's brother every night."

In an instant, countless netizens had an epiphany or even a sudden realization. Not just them, but even Principal Fu, Professor Wang Shouren, and others covered their mouths, as if the shackles in their minds had shattered, and they instantly had an epiphany.

No wonder elderly people see their relatives coming to pick them up after they pass away. That wasn't a hallucination, but... real?

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of something. "The form of a holographic projection..."

"Brother, you previously mentioned the akashic records: when prophets, Li Chunfeng, and Yuan Tiangang looked at the tui bei tu..." "They saw [fragments of future information] from the zero-point field or the akashic records, and that's how they gave their prophecies."

"Could those 'visions' be like 'watching a movie'?"

Xiao Yu grew more and more excited and shocked as she spoke. "Oh my god, so Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, and even ancient Taoist masters and theological masters would be like ghosts, floating beside us modern people?"

"Then watching our every move, watching the development of the modern world, and then returning to the Tang Dynasty to record what they saw?" "And even being treated as a 'fleeting dream'?"

"And even the elderly, the dying people who see relatives coming to pick them up before they pass away..." "They aren't blurry shadows, but living, 3D holographic 'relatives'!" "Oh my god, unbelievable, it's just too unbelievable!"

Seeing his sister breathless. Seeing Xiao Yu's exaggerated demeanor, Jiang Zhe rubbed his temples with some fatigue, "Calm down, don't get excited."

...

At this moment, in the residential compound of the Kyoto University of History. Professor Chen Runzhi looked at the burning gazes of Old Qian and Old Wang. He said, deep in thought, "Holographic projection, a 3D stereoscopic projection!"

"I get it. If we understand it according to our world, using two-dimensional structures—books, paper, film—to record all the information of a 'person', the data required would be unimaginably massive."

Old Qian quickly and excitedly added: "Exactly!"

"If the zero-point field uses three-dimensional structures: movies, television, projections to record the three-dimensional world." "And holographic technology is essentially an imaging technology that uses the interference of 'waves' to reproduce the three-dimensional world."

"This perfectly answers the question of the authenticity and completeness of the information within the zero-point field." "This is completely an efficient storage method!"

Professor Wang Shouren took a deep breath, feeling the profundity, "Thought and matter are one; waves are matter; matter is waves." "Tonight's answer seems to explain many unsolved mysteries."

...

Inside the teahouse on the Third Ring Road in Kyoto. Zheng Ming had just recovered from his shock. Immediately after, his brows furrowed, and the expression on his face grew increasingly disdainful.

"Are you kidding me?" "He can even say such a sci-fi term as 'holographic projection'?" "The structure of consciousness is so complex—memory, emotion, logic, subconsciousness..." "Covered by his four words 'holographic projection'?" "Simply grandstanding!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ming, who was beside him, refuted him with a negative: "Little Zheng!"

"From the perspective of modern medicine, especially from the angle of neuroscience." "Xiaoyu's brother's statement is not without merit."

He swept his gaze over Xu Mu and Zheng Ming, "The human brain, the left and right hemispheres have different functions." "The left is responsible for language, analysis, and logic; this is what Xiaoyu's brother calls 'two-dimensional processing'." "The right is responsible for image recognition, spatial perception, imagination, and intuition, which is typical 'three-dimensional processing'."

"Through a large number of cases and studies—" "Especially reports and EEG studies of near-death patients." "During clinical death, before the stage where all brain activity ceases." "The right brain will experience the largest 'super discharge' in one's life."

"Super discharge?" Xu Mu looked puzzled.

Zhou Ming nodded and explained: "Yes; it is exactly a super discharge." "It is this final super discharge that allows near-death patients to see tunnels, relatives, fields of flowers; to see grasslands, to see the past, to see the future, to see everything that exists..." "And even review their past life—just like a holographic projection."

"Currently, in small circles of the medical community, some idealistic doctors interpret this as..."

[Before death, the brain uses the left brain to search through all memory schemes and opinions to save the body, until there are no effective schemes left to save the body...] [Finally, it can only output all dopamine and endorphins to the right brain; letting the right brain, which is responsible for images and imagination, go extremely crazy one last time, building a super perfect world for the body's owner, letting the owner live forever in a world where one thought lasts for thousands of years.]

One thought lasting ten thousand years, or even a hundred million years, is possible. Those idealistic doctors attribute this to the [Ultimate Multiple Death Dream]. In that ultimate, unawakable dream, self-consciousness will permanently remain in that world.

But for the materialist Zhou Ming... it was too inconceivable and too lacking in evidence; it was completely not as solid as Xiaoyu's brother's explanation!

Hearing these descriptions, both Zheng Ming and Xu Mu were shocked to the point of goosebumps.

"Ah, this reaches the same conclusion as the brain in a vat." "Isn't this too crazy?"

"Yes, it's very crazy; but Xiaoyu's brother's zero-point field and akashic records serve as a destination for these idealists after this dream ends: the zero-point field!"

Zhou Ming glanced at Jiang Zhe on the screen, his expression gradually turning to admiration. "What's even more incomprehensible is—" "Some patients with right brain trauma and disease, on the contrary, will see images that we doctors call 'hallucinations'." "Hearing sounds that don't exist."

"Previously, I thought it was right-brain disorder caused by brain damage." "Now, listening to Xiaoyu's brother's explanation, I might have a new perspective." "What perspective?" Zheng Ming and Xu Mu's expressions gradually became serious.

"It's because after the patient is injured—the logical inhibition function of the left brain weakens; making it easier for the right brain to receive 'information' from higher dimensions that we cannot perceive." "Which is the projection in the zero-point field."

"Good people go to good projection worlds: Heaven; bad people go to bad projection worlds: Hell." "In my medical career, among those worlds described by patients, no matter how wonderful or inconceivable they are." "All changes follow the same principle; they all have one thing in common!"

Speaking up to this point, Zhou Ming looked solemn as he watched the two people holding their breath. "That is—everyone is glowing, including the patients themselves!" "In essence, the 'us' we speak of, the 'us' that is currently thinking—" "Perhaps, it is really as Xiaoyu's brother said: 'We have always been light, and we are also waves.'"

Zheng Ming opened his mouth, "This..." For the first time, he couldn't bring himself to refute it. Waves, light, light waves... Hiss~~ The great Xu Mu was also stunned, shocked to the point of being unable to speak.
