"Atomism has an implicit assumption that 'matter can be continuously subdivided, but the smallest particles of matter cannot be subdivided'. We cannot say this hypothesis right or wrong, because it is a hypothesis, not a truth, and cannot be verified. We can only choose, believe or not. "

The magicians nodded gently. Everyone knows this truth.

"Well, if we consider it from the perspective of pure logic, I think the assumption of atomism is contradictory."

"If matter can be continuously redistributed, the smallest particles of matter can still be redistributed. If the smallest substance cannot be divided, it will no longer be substance! "

The magicians present were stunned and vaguely perceived something.

"Since matter is separable, why should we say that the smallest particles of matter are not separable? Why not divide it again? Is it because the power of separation is not big enough? This means that as long as we have enough power, we can still decompose all matter. "

"So, I broke down this hypothesis and built a new hypothesis under this hypothesis. That is, matter can be divided again and again. Once it is divided into the smallest particles of matter, it can not be called "the smallest matter", but "the smallest existence."

"Why is it called 'minimum existence'?"

"First, because I am not sure what the 'minimum existence' is, but we can be sure that this thing, it exists. Even if we can't perceive it or even understand it, it exists. Otherwise, our world will no longer exist. "

"Second, we are not only unable to determine what the 'minimum existence' is, but also unable to determine whether it is material, immaterial or some strange state of matter. To sum up, we can only temporarily name it the minimum existence. Do you understand that? "

The crowd nodded and shook their heads.

"Let's talk about energy next. Energy is actually a quantitative measure of a substance or a state. It is a perception, not an existence. For example, every high-level mage can find that fire and lightning in our eyes are actually composed of matter. It is not energy, but an abstract feeling. What we call cold and heat has nothing to do with energy in essence, just matter or the interaction between matter. "

"Let me give you the simplest example. I am a real person. Master larens is also a real person. When we are together, some people will say that one plus one equals two. It is two people. But in fact, does the world exist 1? Does 2 exist? non-existent. 1 is just a symbol. This symbol represents an abstract existence. It is valuable and useful. The mathematics it constitutes is great. However, like energy, numbers are used to measure matter or the role of matter, and they do not exist. "

"In addition to matter, there is a certain function between matter, which we can call force, or field, or even another matter, or something else. In fact, all this, like matter, is also separable, because we can't determine what it is. We can only call it the minimum effect. "

"If the expression of the principle I suppose is correct, then a vague ultimate principle of magic appears, that is, the relationship between minimum existence and minimum action. Once we determine what is the minimum existence, once we determine what is the minimum effect, then everything of magic will be solved! "

"However, we should remember that we cannot determine what form the minimum existence and minimum action are, particles? Is it a string? Is it force? What is it? Is it the uncertain state of matter? Can't be sure. Even, the minimum existence and the minimum action are probably one and the same thing. Or, the whole world is actually constructed by the same minimum existence. "

The Council hall was silent.

"Is master Zeno there?"

"Yes." A master with a full forehead stood up.

"This is the famous liar Zeno." Su Ye smiled.

The whole audience burst into laughter, and Zeno showed a kind smile.

"Master Zeno, please sit down. Master Zeno once put forward a famous Achilles turtle chasing paradox. Achilles is a famous runner in Greece, but Zeno believes that he can't even catch up with a turtle. He said that Achilles and the tortoise were 100 meters apart. Achilles and the tortoise ran forward at the same time. When Achilles reached 100 meters, the tortoise had already run 1 meter forward. Next, Achilles could only chase another meter. But at this time, the tortoise ran a little further. Therefore, Achilles can only catch up with the distance before the two, and will never catch up with the tortoise. "

"But we all know that even if the turtles all over the world run together, Achilles can catch up. However, why do we always find it difficult to refute Zeno, an old liar? Even he didn't know how to refute himself. "

The magicians laughed again.

"I also thought about this problem for a long time, and finally found that the fundamental reason is that we are looking at Achilles chasing turtles from a continuous and macro perspective, while master Zeno is looking at Achilles chasing turtles from a discontinuous and micro perspective."

"First of all, we can be sure that when we calculate from a macro point of view, any mathematician can calculate that Achilles can catch up with the tortoise. But what will the world look like if we look at it from the micro perspective of discontinuity? This requires atomic theory. "

"We should not only disassemble the space between Achilles and tortoise into infinitesimal, but also disassemble Achilles and tortoise into infinitesimal. Finally, the problem becomes that a group of minimum beings chase after another group of minimum beings."

"This raises another problem. The smallest existence of the system that affects Achilles chasing turtles is a huge number, which is far more than the number of stars and creatures on the infinite plane."

"What's more terrible is that from the most microscopic perspective, every smallest existence is independent and discontinuous. As a result, each of us can only observe one minimum existence at the same time, and we can't observe other minimum existence. Once we start observing the next minimum existence, we can't even determine the state of the previous minimum existence. "

"In other words, in the micro world of natural state, everything can not be determined until the outside world exerts influence."

"We can imagine the smallest existence that makes up Achilles as countless villains. What are those villains doing? I believe that you should be able to imagine that picture, in which countless little people are running around! "

"You may run to the front, you may run to the rear, you may run to the left and right, or even to the sky. No one can be sure which villain can catch up with the tortoise. "

"Then why, in the end, in the macro world, all of us think Achilles will catch up with the tortoise?"

"I can't come to a conclusion. What I can say is, first, the whole is greater than the sum of parts."

"Second, we should never judge a problem from only one angle and a set of rules."

"Third, in the micro world, everything is chaotic, and more and more chaotic, but in the macro world, our wisdom can clarify everything, and then build a progressive order."

"Finally, the micro world tells us that everything is possible, while the macro world tells us that we can decide the possibility we like best."

"This is the theory of principle and the micro world that I broke through the old logical foundation and hypothesis by combining the first principle, logic, atomism and axiomatization."

"Like Democritus, Zeno and other masters, I may not be able to build a road to the end of magic for you, but we lit magic lighthouses in the far distance. These magic lighthouses may all go out, but one day, someone will go to the ruins of the lighthouse and put down a small white flower. "

"Philosophy has principles, magic has principles, and everyone's life also has principles."

"May each of us find the ultimate principle of magic and life."

Su Ye finished and left the conference hall.

Xinguang continent.

The earth trembled gently, rabbits and mice jumped out of the nest, magpies flew away from the branches, and flocks of bison and wild horses fled in a hurry.

Everyone everywhere hurried out of the house and stood in the open place looking around.

The white clouds in the sky roll and are torn into strips by invisible forces, just like white cloth strips.

Slowly, the white sky clouds changed rapidly, just like a cloud river surging radially in all directions.

Just above Xinguang continent, at the convergence point of all cloud rivers, a huge white vortex rotates slowly.

In the white whirlpool, thunder flashes and sky fire burns, as if connecting another powerful world.

All those who look at the cloud vortex have stinging eyes and heavy shoulders. They are slowly pressed on their heads by invisible forces and are difficult to look directly at.

Dong... Dong

The drums sounded and spread thousands of miles.

Woo... Woo

The sound of the horn frightens all directions.

Everyone's remaining light saw that a long white cloud appeared below the cloud vortex.

Then, one after another emerged, laying from top to bottom.

A spectacular sky cloud ladder falls from top to bottom in the center of Xinguang continent, Stonehenge valley.

Shining, bright, holy and majestic.

The light white breath visible to the naked eye diffused one after another, like a cloud wind, sweeping the whole Xinguang continent.

Where they passed, all sentient beings trembled and all spirits fell to the ground.

Birds don't fly, animals don't jump, insects don't sing, fish don't swim.

A hundred flowers roll up, thousands of trees hang their branches, and weeds crawl.

"Climb the God ladder..." some old people muttered to themselves.

Suddenly, thousands of black fog came from all directions.

The tip of the strip-shaped black fog, the angry head cursed loudly, the ferocious beast head roared madly, the strange devil cursed in a low voice, and the peaceful god head smiled

The endless magic fog is like a prairie fire, which instantly burns all over the sky, isolates the sky clouds and breaks the cloud ladder.

The dark magic fog enveloped the whole new light continent.

"It's over..."

The cloud God trembled.

The old mountain god and the giant tree god looked at each other and were extremely frightened. Even if the evil black witch God sealed the God, there were only tens of thousands of magic fog.

But now the magic fog covers the sky and the earth, more than hundreds of millions“ Wang! " Little corky roared up into the sky..
