Qin Lang always felt that he was just an ordinary person.

In other words, ordinary "game players".

The so-called science, the universe, time, space, the origin and end of life, all have nothing to do with you.

He is just a certain living being in the vast river of time who has experienced the so-called "lifetime" in ignorance and confusion. Whether the universe was created by an explosion or what the ultimate meaning of life is has nothing to do with it.

It has nothing to do with yourself.

In his thinking, or in the thinking of most people

This is life, this is "normal".

However, when the vast and majestic information was continuously poured into his mind, and his understanding of the world and the universe was constantly being refreshed in the irresistible "drowsy-awake" state, he finally felt fear for the first time.

He began to wonder what Edith... or "Deep Space" was.

Why does a game contain terrifyingly real scientific theories?

Qin Lang and Ben are unknown.

…

What I want to share with you next is a piece of ancient knowledge that spans 330 billion years.

Data from the "Ross Ring" boundary database where Edith originated.

here,

Let’s briefly discuss the universe and cosmology.

Even a civilized race with a technologically backward level such as humans can discover that there are two important things in the universe we currently live in:

First, the universe was born 13.8 billion years ago.

Second, the universe was born from a singularity explosion.

What is the concept of 13.8 billion years? For any civilization, this may be able to carry the rise and fall of an entire life race once or even several times. But for the vast sea of ​​​​stars, discussing time may not be practical.

significance.

What people have been curious about since ancient times is not how long the history of the universe is, but "what was it like before the history of the universe began?"

Life is as curious about this question as it is about "What is death?" or "What is it like after death?"

Qin Lang once thought about this problem, but soon gave up because his imagination was exhausted.

Now, a certain piece of data called "The 10th Origin of Observability" told him what the actual situation was like.

13.8 billion years ago, the universe was a "singularity."

Described by the concept of physics, this is a "zero-dimensional space". If the radius of the universe approaches zero as an image point, it is like a point on the function image. All the energy (or matter) in the entire universe,

All are contained in this infinitesimal point.

The current concept of time in Qin Lang's mind is based on the explosion of this singularity.

The question is, what was the world before the singularity?

have no idea.

All results given by humans are just conjectures.

But now, Edit tells himself that before the Big Bang, the universe was still the universe.

Moreover, a new universe was formed by the collapse of a universe similar to ours today.

It's like gathering all the materials together, completely scattering them, and reshuffling them.

Edith constructed a very vivid model of the universe and used the "Ross Loop" to explain this "cyclic effect".

First of all, the most basic, Qin Lang is the most familiar with, and at the same time the most incredible.

The universe is a four-dimensional space similar to a "Klein bottle" that cannot be accurately observed by humans.

Hawking once gave an idealized universe model. When we reduce the dimensionality of the universe and observe it, the universe that originally exploded in all directions is flattened into a plane. Then a cyclic universe looks like a U-shaped curved surface.

.

The singularity is right in the middle of the two walls of the U-shape. The collapse of the universe connects the two sides to the singularity. The collapse trajectory is like a tornado.

Maybe this seems obscure, but if we complete this model

It becomes a donut.

A huge donut with a very small circle in the middle.

The universe was created by a big explosion in the center of the donut, and then all celestial bodies, ranging from dust to large galaxies and super-large galaxies, burst out from the center of the donut and spread outward along the surface of the donut.

Then n more than n billion years later.

These celestial bodies ran and ran, and finally arrived at the fattest outer ring of the donut.

They still continued to move forward. But this time, they changed from flying away from the center of the donut to flying towards the center.

The same n-plus billions of years have passed.

These celestial bodies, even light, that originally departed from the center of the donut have returned here again.

They collapsed together again with irresistible momentum.

Keep shrinking.

Keep shrinking.

From a ball of chaos, it shrinks into a half-matter, half-energy sphere.

When the scale of collapse is so large that matter cannot maintain a stable existence form, everything becomes a small ball of energy.

Then zoom out again.

Eventually it became a point.

This point lasts only a moment.

After a moment of gravitational repulsion balance, another explosion occurred.

The so-called "new universe" will be formed again.

…

It may seem incredible, but this is indeed the result observed by Edith.

When the cosmic explosion spreads to a "certain extent", the universe will begin to shrink.

And this so-called "certain degree", or the fattest circle of the donut, is what Edith calls the "Ross Ring".

This is a position that exists in theory, but cannot be observed by humans at all. Because the explosion of the singularity of the universe moves in all directions, instead of just moving on one surface like a donut.

So, what kind of existence is the so-called Edith?

Like humans, it was once a civilized race.

It's just that compared to humans, it has a much longer history, is famous for its technology, and is much more advanced.

The Edit family discovered the "Ross Ring" about 330 billion years ago, that is, xn times before the universe cycle.

At that time, they also called themselves "smart people".

The discovery of the "Rose Ring" has opened a new era for this race to save itself. As long as they can stay on the "Rose Ring", they will no longer go through a cosmic cycle like other celestial bodies, and the civilization process of the race will start from scratch.

start.

This is not only the most primitive desire for survival, but also the desire for racial development.

After countless years of hard work, they developed the original plan.

The abbreviation of the plan is "adit", which means passage, tunnel door, also called Edit.

They used a large amount of energy to create tunnels spanning both ends of the "Rose Ring".

This is not a tunnel in the material sense, but an extremely narrow and powerful energy field that can only maintain a very small scale.

It operates from two relatively symmetrical points in the U-shaped universe. As the universe expands, the distance between the two points continues to shorten.

When this distance reaches the "Rose Ring", the value will become zero, and there will be only one "door" left in the entire tunnel.

Just like Doraemon's "any door", open it and you will find a new world.

This is also the reason why the Zhizu finally changed their name to Edith

They opened the "door" and became immortal beings in the universe.

Of course, this also caused them to pay a corresponding price.

The Edith tribe has no entity.

To use a very "philosophical" phrase, Edit is the universe, and the universe is Edit.

They broke away from their original "material existence" and became the only and only remaining consciousness in the universe.

It is everywhere, yet nowhere.

The feat accomplished by the Edith tribe has made them observers of the rise and fall of the universe over the past 330 billion years.
