Chapter 866

The Buddha saw that Hao Zhi had not spoken for a long time and knew that he was struggling to understand his words. He simply remained silent for a while, slightly closing his eyes as if he were asleep.

After a long time, Hao Zhicai said in a trance: "Can I understand that all the coincidence you mentioned is the result that our knowledge system comes from the same root? Let's say, the five elders have discovered part of the truth of the universe, and then passed on their knowledge to you. Your civilization has been developed in accordance with the theory of the five elders from the beginning, so in your world, two progress Only by ruling everything, can we have a much more advanced scientific and technological civilization than us.

When the five elders returned to the earth for the last time, they also conveyed this knowledge to the people on earth through religion. Our audience made more use of it as a way of thinking rather than developing the theoretical basis of science and technology. Therefore, we took a detour. We didn't return to thinking about the relationship between religion and science until binary appeared.

But no matter what order, you, the blood moon, and our earth are all the products of the same knowledge and cognitive system. The speed first cosmic exploration path we have been pursuing and the attempt to break the laws of physics also come from this common knowledge foundation. "

"Well, what you think is good!" the Buddha said to Hao Zhi approvingly, "the five elders have always hidden the knowledge of cosmology in your religion. Through our study and analysis of earth culture over the past 500 years, many of them have been ignored or even forgotten by you.

For example, there are 108 rosary beads in Buddhist unarmed hands... It represents the distance between the sun and the earth, which is 108 times the diameter of the sun; the distance between the earth and the moon is 108 times the diameter of the moon; the diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the earth!

This is not just confined to the West. There are also 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha in the East since ancient times. The sum of them is also 108. The five elders seem to be suggesting something to you in various religious ways. "

"What do you suggest?" Hao Zhi asked strangely.

The Buddha smiled: "we can't understand what it represents. Perhaps the five elders left these 108 rosary beads as Buddha, just to remind you that this wonderful coincidence between earth, moon and sun has other meanings!"

Hao Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "you mean it's not natural, but someone's deliberately doing it?"

"This is a problem that science cannot explain. Once science encounters a similar problem, it is like the method we often use in the face of unknown problems. Setting a constant value of X into the equation is usually the best way to find the answer.

In our thinking equation, the X substituted is that we assume in advance that there is a 'God' who can look around the universe and control everything. On the premise that we default to this, all problems can be solved. This is the power of faith. "

"Hum, I can't imagine that as a Buddha, you also believe that there is a higher God than you!" Hao Zhi smiled sarcastically.

"Of course, according to the theory of God and Buddha, Buddha is the appearance and God is the interior. In other words, I am just a spokesman of the knowledge system of the five elders, not God itself. Above the five elders, there are more mysterious and complex cosmic truths they are pursuing, which they can't penetrate and explore. They just tell us part of what they know.

Therefore, the five elders left a method that may be a way to insight into the truth of the universe, that is, the heavenly awakener, that is, you standing in front of me. You are the key to all problems and the key to opening the dark curtain of the universe! "

"Therefore, the religions on your planet and on our earth are actually the things left by the five elders after refining their scientific and technological knowledge. There has never been any religion in itself. Whether we believe in science or religion, in fact, we ultimately believe in the knowledge system left by the five elders! Am I right?"

"What is science? According to our current definition of science, science is a complete set of causality. We conduct scientific experiments, establish models and deduce the essence of the development of things. In fact, we pursue the reason based on the results we see.

Science is a set of causal methods that can falsify. Where does a phenomenon come from, what is the truth, and what causes produce the corresponding results, that's all.

But do you know who was the first proponent of causality? Socrates, according to you, he is the embodiment of one of the five elders after returning to earth.

But the wonder is that causality is the foundation of Buddhism. Do you know why the Buddha stepped on the lotus instead of the rose? "

"Because roses have thorns, and the Buddha doesn't wear shoes!" Hao Zhi laughed.

"Wrong..." the Buddha, who was sitting on the mechanical thousand leaf lotus platform, smiled, "That's because in Buddhist theory, all other plants in the world either have flowers but no fruits, or have fruits but no flowers, or have consequences before flowers, or have fruits before flowers. Lotus alone is a unique existence. It has formed lotus pods and seeds when it blooms, which represents the coexistence of flowers and fruits, that is, causal symbiosis.

Therefore, science studies cause and effect, and Buddhism itself is also a complete system about cause and effect. What is the difference between them? "

"That's reasonable..." Hao Zhiruo thought thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked, "but... What if the five elders guessed the truth of the universe wrong?

What if the universe itself has no cause and effect and no laws to follow? What if even the irresistible physical laws we think are just an accidental coincidence? What if everything in the world should be chaotic?

What if we go to the dark side of the universe and open it to spy on the "outside" and find that there is nothing at all, or more problems and more clutter?

What shall we do then? "

"Well... This is an unanswered question. I'm afraid we can't know what will happen in the future until we go through the dark curtain of Philosophy

But at present, if the five elders are wrong, it is even more impossible for us to find the real road. For the real mystery of the universe, we are just a group of crawling worms, a trivial bacterium and a spark in the universe, which can not be changed even if we recognize it.

Therefore, there are only two roads left for us. First, according to the track of scientific knowledge left by the five elders, we should constantly improve the aerospace ability of civilization, break through the limit above the limit, approach or even exceed the speed of light, and then reach the foot of the dark curtain.

The second is to make use of the ability of heavenly beings to break through the dark curtain of the universe and reach the state of top civilization in the shortest time. "

"What are you going to do?" Hao Zhi still pays more attention to his whereabouts.

The Buddha pondered for a moment, and then suddenly announced: "hold a three-star challenge arena!"

Samsung challenge arena? What the hell?
