Chapter 4 Chapter Three: Four-Dimensional Worms

Him: "Hello." Me: "Hello." He has a calmness and eloquence that are rare among his peers, and he has a somewhat casual demeanor.But the message in the eyes is a desire, a desire to communicate. If the patients I contacted were ranked according to the degree of pain they brought me, then this one would definitely be among the top five.He is a 17-year-old boy. After as many as 7 failed contacts, I had to spend about two weeks on the go - busy running to the library, visiting physicists and biologists, listening to physics lectures that I would fall asleep at, and I took the time to read basic books on quantum physics.I have to do this, otherwise I can't communicate with him - because I can't understand.

After painful cramming and hard-earned reading, I sat down in front of him again.Since he is underage, every time we meet him, his father or mother sits not far behind him, and at the same time promises not to do anything that interferes with our conversation—including making noise. Behind me sat a foreign aid I had brought in: a young professor of quantum physics. Under the casual gaze of the boy, I pressed the switch of the recording pen. He: "Why didn't you bring Professor Chen?" Me: "Professor Chen went to the hospital for a physical examination, so I can't come."

Professor Chen is a physicist - I once moved in as a rescuer, but the effect was not as good as I thought. He: "Oh, have you read the books I mentioned?" Me: "I don't have as much time as you, and I don't read much, but I still read some carefully." He: "Oh...so, do you understand the four-dimensional creature I'm talking about?" I tried to search my brain for the physical terms I had seen: "Hmm... I don't fully understand, the fourth dimension refers to time, right?" He: "Yes." You can see that he is a little bit more interested.

Me: "We are three-dimensional creatures living in length, width, and height, and at the same time experience the time axis in..." He interrupted me impatiently: "Three-dimensional is length, width and height? Three-dimensional is length, temperature, quantity! Not length, width and height! Length includes length, width and height!!!!" He's right, I'm trying to get my memory and emotions back to normal, and I get a little nervous. He: "Why don't you go back and read the book again?" He was not polite at all and planned to send me away. Me: "Actually, you know, I don't have such a good memory, and I just came into contact with these, but I did watch it. I admit that I fell asleep while listening to some lectures, but I still listened to as much as possible, There are notes." I took out my physics notebook and put it in front of him.

At this time, frankness is the most effective way, and his mood eased a lot. He: "Well, I know you really want to understand what I said, so I won't make it difficult for you anymore, and try to tell you in a way you can understand." Me: "Thank you." He: "In fact, we are all four-dimensional creatures. In addition to space, we also exist on the timeline, but we must obey the laws of time flow... Do you understand this?" Me: "I understand..." The quantum physics professor behind me reminded me in a low voice: "It's causality." He: "Yes, it's causality. You have to press the switch before the recording will start. If no one presses it, the recording will not start. So, we are not absolute four-dimensional creatures, we can only advance along the flow of time , cannot be reversed. And it is not."

Me: "Does it refer to the 'absolute four-dimensional creature' you mentioned?" He: "Well, it is a creature that really exists in four dimensions. For it, four dimensions are just like we live in three-dimensional space. That is to say, part of its body is not three-dimensional structural, but immaterial." Me: "I don't understand this." He smiled: "Imagine, if time is divided into segments, then humans can only see a part of it in each time segment, not all of it. Can you understand?" I was dumbfounded. Professor of Quantum Physics: "Are you talking about the absolute biology assumed by the biological community?"

He: "Well... it shouldn't be completely. Absolute creatures can survive regardless of any environmental conditions and survive beyond the boundaries of the environment, but the boundaries of four-dimensional creatures are larger than that, and they don't need to consider cause and effect." Quantum physics professor: "Has quantum mechanical properties?" He: "That's right." Me: "What is quantum mechanics?" I fell asleep at the beginning of the few introductory classes in this part. Professor of Quantum Physics: "It is too difficult to explain this problem. It is very irresponsible to put it simply: it is two groups of particle units that are not related to each other. They may interact with each other even though they are thousands of miles away... I guess you still haven't heard Understand……"

I vaguely remember talking to a quantum physicist who mentioned it, but now my mind is extremely confused.I have a bad feeling: this conversation might fail. He took over the conversation: "The simplest way to put it is: you are here, without any equipment or assistance, manipulate a paintbrush at home to draw, and draw exactly as you wish. Or just like uploading files on a computer, put a The three-dimensional object is sent to someone far away." Me: "How did you do that?" Professor of Quantum Physics: "I don't know, this is the characteristic of quantum mechanics, and it is also a problem that the world's top quantum physics studios are studying... How do you know?" The following words were spoken to the boy.

He: "The four-dimensional creature told me, and I read it in a book." Me: "Where is the four-dimensional creature you mentioned?" He: "As I said before, part of it is composed of non-material, which can only be felt." Me: "You mean, it found you and told you this and told you what books to read?" He: "I found the books to read by myself, because I couldn't understand how it made me feel, so I looked for those books to read." I have seen the bibliographies he mentioned, some of which are even academic journals in English.A high school student holds a professional dictionary and reads bit by bit all day long, in order to understand the professional papers published in professional magazines.

Me: "But how can you prove that your feelings are correct, or how can you prove that someone feels you?" He looked at me coldly: "It doesn't have to be very far, just go back more than a hundred years, you told a top physicist at that time that you could hold an object that was not as big or thick as a book, and you could follow me." Talk to people far away, and it depends on satellites orbiting the earth and a card the size of a fingernail in your phone; you can sit in front of a small screen and talk to strangers thousands of miles away, and you don’t need a Any hook-up; you watch a ball game on the other side of the world and all you need to do is press the TV remote. What would he think? He'd think you must be crazy, and an idiot, because that was beyond the scope of any discipline at the time, listed in Unreasonable ranks, right?"

Me: "But you're talking about feelings." He: "That's just a word. Before the discovery of quantum, no one knew what quantum should be called. Most of them were called energy or something. Your thinking is still the usual material world, which is three-dimensional! What I want to tell you is four-dimensional, you have to use I don’t think we can communicate using a three-dimensional framework.” He said again that I should get out. Professor of Quantum Physics: "Can you tell me what else the 4D creature told you?" "It's an absolute four-dimensional creature." He corrected impatiently. Professor of Quantum Physics: "Yeah, how does it feel to you?" Him: "What it thinks of me." Me: "How is it?" He turned to me seriously: "It should be us, what we think of us. We are not what we are now to it, because its vision is beyond time, so we are all squirming worms to it thing." I couldn't help but turn around and exchange a glance with the quantum physics professor. He: "As you can imagine, we are a long bug monster, extending from the bed to the street, to the school, to the company, to the shopping mall, and to many places. Because of our The action is different in each time period, so across time, we are all worms. From a certain time period to a certain time period end." The professor of quantum physics and I listened to him in a daze. He: "Absolutely four-dimensional creatures can see us die first, and then see us born. There is no cause and effect. In fact, I understood this very early: time does not pass, it is us who pass." After he finished speaking word by word, no matter how we asked him, he stopped answering. That conversation still ended in failure. Soon after, the teenager accepted a quantum physics exam specially arranged for him, and the result was very bad. I don't know why, but I was a little disappointed. If he is really a genius, then he can only be a genius in a hundred years or even more distant future.Not of our time—I mean time period? I still want to know what the so-called "absolute four-dimensional creature" would look like.is it scaryis it scaryI may never know, even if it were true. When I write this, I think of a sentence that Goethe said: Truth belongs to mankind, and error belongs to the times.
