I am immortal with scientific thinking

"This is absolutely impossible!!!"

At this moment, the teams of scientists behind the three major countries, those white-haired old men who embodied the crystallization of human wisdom, subconsciously denied the facts obtained by this ancient oriental country.

It's no wonder they were so shocked, because for human civilization, there is no such thing as a jump in the fine structure constant.

Because the word "constant" after the fine structure constant means that this number is a constant value and it will not change. If it really changes... it will not be observable.

In other words, the moment the fine structure constant jumps, the entire human civilization will be destroyed without even knowing it, without even observing the jump.

Because the fine structure constant itself is a combination of the three basic constants in nature: the speed of light c, Planck's constant h, and electron charge e.

If the fine structure constant becomes larger, the binding between electrons and atomic nuclei will become tighter, the energy level interval of atoms will increase, the chemical properties of elements will change significantly, and the chemistry that modern civilization relies on, and even life itself, will undergo unpredictable changes.

If the fine structure constant becomes smaller, it means that electrons and nuclei are not bound so tightly, making atoms and molecules less stable. As long as the fine structure constant is greater or less than a few percentage points, carbon will never form in stars, making carbon-based life impossible.

Therefore, friends who often create the universe should know very well that if you want to create a new universe, you must first adjust the fine structure constant, so that the entire universe will not be filled with supernova explosions, or a chemical desert universe will be generated, with only two or three elementary particle kittens, not enough to form even a hydrogen atom.

Even a tiny change among them is enough to cause irreversible impact on the entire universe, not to mention the insignificant civilization on a small planet in a mere star system. They had already disappeared along with most of the civilization in the universe the moment the fine structure constant jumped. How could they possibly observe this change?

This in itself is an invalid paradox!
"I know the facts are hard to believe, but that's the conclusion."

Ambassador Zhang looked solemn and said in a deep voice,

"As early as a year ago, our country's top scientific laboratory had already discovered this situation. The denominator of the fine structure constant in nature, 137.035999084... is about to drop to 136!"

"The speed of light c, Planck's constant h, and the electron charge e are constantly changing. As time goes by, the fine structure constant is slowly but surely approaching zero for reasons we cannot understand!"

"It can be said that the edifice of our human physics, electromagnetic interaction, quantum theory and relativity, has completely collapsed at some point in time!"

"But here's the problem. Our human civilization would have been completely destroyed the moment the fine structure constant changed. Not only human civilization, but also this planet, this star system, and even the vast universe of tens of billions of light years would have disappeared in an instant that we could not even detect."

"But the world today... doesn't have any anomalies! The order of the microscopic world has begun to collapse with changes that are difficult for us to detect, but nothing has changed in the macroscopic world. This is beyond our current understanding of human science. We have no idea why the macroscopic world can still remain unchanged."

"But what is certain is that this illusion will not last long. When this constant returns to zero, I'm afraid this universe and our human civilization will be completely destroyed!"

When these words were spoken, the ambassadors of the three countries could not help but frown.

Although in their view, science itself is a tool, a tool used to maintain their rule. As for those mysterious theories in science, only God can know whether they are true or false, so they never care about them.

But it is also undeniable that it is this so-called science that gave birth to today's nuclear bombs, weapons that can destroy the world. So it is not impossible that their theoretical basis can destroy the world.

But if we really look at the reactions of the scientists in the think tank behind them, humans have absolutely no way to deal with the current situation.

After all, in the words of those old scientists, if even the fine structure constant has changed, it means that the electron's charge, the speed of light, and Planck's constant will also undergo corresponding changes.

The impact is not just on simple numbers, but on our entire universe.

The laws of gravity and the fundamental constants of physics will be reconstructed, and everything you see will either collapse or be completely dead.

If that’s the case, what can they do after they know this situation?
"Since this constant has changed, what should we do?" Inov's head was buzzing. He was good at killing people, but he really couldn't do this. "Just tell me, how many nuclear bombs and divisions are needed to solve this problem?"

Ambassador Zhang glanced at the general who was born in Northern Russia, and was unusually silent for a moment before he slowly said:
"At least with all the means we have now, it is impossible to prevent this from happening."

"Is there no way?" Aaron from Western Europe asked at this moment, "If it is true as you said, if the fine structure constant really changes, how advanced will our technology be to prevent this?"

Ambassador Zhang was silent for a moment, obviously listening. After all, he also had a top team behind him that was supported by the whole country.

Then he gave an answer:
"This is not only related to the level of technology, we also need energy to change the rules. According to the Kardashev civilization hierarchy theory, we must at least reach level 3 civilization to touch the threshold of modifying the rules of physics."

The Kardashev Civilization Scale is a method used to measure the level of technological advancement of a civilization.

In his theory, the first-level civilization, also called the mother star civilization, is the master of planetary energy and can dominate the total energy of the planet and its surrounding satellites. Its milestones are controlled nuclear fusion and space solar energy.

A Level 2 civilization is able to collect energy from an entire star system, perhaps by building a huge structure similar to a "Dyson sphere" to wrap around a star, thereby maximizing the star's energy output.

A level three civilization can utilize the energy of the Milky Way system for its own benefit. Its control and utilization of energy has reached an extremely high level, and it can freely mobilize and use energy on a galactic scale.

In other words, humans must control the universe within hundreds of thousands of light years, and technology must be able to develop to the point where the rules of the universe can be artificially modified, before there is any possibility of influencing the change of the fine structure constant?
"What a joke! If that's the case, why are we still fighting?" Daisyka sneered, "Since it can't be changed, we should just bear it."

"The universe destroys the universe, we fight our own battles, and as for everything in the future, can't we just leave it to God to decide?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the other two changed.

Since I can't fight it, I might as well just pray for a miracle.

In ancient times, when the world was flooded, didn’t their ancestors also pray for the legendary Ark to save their lives? So what’s wrong with praying again now?

Even if not, the future is a matter of the future. At least for now, who is willing to give up their immediate interests?

Ambassador Zhang was a very capable person. Just by looking at the expressions of these people, he knew what they were thinking and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Sure enough, perhaps the bigwigs in the scientific community are right. The root cause of human destruction is not the outside world, but ourselves. When disaster strikes, some people always think that a hero will jump out to save the world, and then they are responsible for stealing the results afterwards.

As for uniting everything, working together as one, and cooperating at all costs to deal with the disaster, I'm sorry, that's a plot in the movies, it hardly exists in reality.

"But fortunately, this disaster has not yet reached the point where there is no hope at all. At least variables can occur, and this is also an opportunity for our human civilization to cooperate and survive..."

"Everyone, now is not the time to be discouraged. Things are not hopeless."

At this moment, Ambassador Zhang knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention back.

"Are you kidding me? Can a Blue Star civilization like us, which is not even a first-level civilization, solve the change in the fine structure constant?"

Aaron from Western Europe questioned.

"Indeed, if we rely on our own strength, we cannot solve this kind of problem involving changes in the universe, but there is still a chance."

Ambassador Zhang spoke with a firm and unquestionable tone at this moment.

"Although the edifice of physics that we have built over the past few hundred years has collapsed when the fine structure constant jumps, the macroscopic world does not change at all."

"But from a logical and scientific point of view, we are not without a chance."

"The scientists behind you should all know that the birth of the universe was the explosion of a singularity, but the density, temperature, pressure, space-time curvature, entropy and other properties of the singularity are very different even in the so-called infinite values."

"These physical quantities determine the differences in universes. Different physical quantities may lead to the birth of different universes, such as high-dimensional universes, two-dimensional universes, uniform matter universes, thick soup universes, mini universes, 1+1≠2 universes, and even universes that do not meet the conditions for explosion and cannot be born. Such universes are more likely to be born from a probabilistic point of view."

"As Planck's constant continues to change, the basic units that make up the world may overlap with these universes, thus opening up channels between different parallel universes and achieving the unity of endless universes."

"Many of these universes are not suitable for human survival, but when the fine structure constant jumps, the macroscopic world of our human civilization has not collapsed, so we assume that the universe with extremely harsh living conditions will not affect us either."

"Assuming that the environment has no impact, what about the civilizations living on the Blue Planet from different universes? Will the environment have no impact on them either?"

"Then can we also cooperate with them, learn their technology through communication, grow, and finally stop it in time before the universe returns to zero?"

"I'm afraid it's not learning, but invasion!" South American Daisy said coldly at this moment, "Even if they are on the same planet, different civilizations in different universes are simply different species. How can they communicate? The greater possibility is destruction!"

"That's right." Xiou Yalun also said, "And even if we learn the technology of different civilizations, so what? Civilizations at level three and above may have the ability to solve the fine structure constant jump. They will not connect with us, and we will not be able to learn technology from them."

"And the problems that the universe of a low-level civilization cannot solve... this is a vicious circle in itself!"

"Yes, but have you ever thought about... the nature of the universe?" Ambassador Zhang said calmly, "Since there are high-dimensional universes, two-dimensional universes, thick soup universes, mini universes... is it possible that there is something that is impossible in legends - an idealistic universe?!"

"At least in terms of probability, this is not zero, and as long as there is this possibility, among the unknown number of formed universes that can be formed by the fine structure constant, such a universe will definitely appear."

"Even if it doesn't work, our Blue Star civilization, with countless overlapping universes and countless species and civilizations intersecting, how can you be sure that we can create a miracle and ultimately escape the fate of destruction that will bring the universe back to zero?!"

"You should know that even if the probability is close to zero, the event may still occur under certain circumstances. This means that we humans can move from level one to level three civilization, or between idealism and materialism, and rebuild our theoretical science in the collapsed microscopic world in order to survive... All of this is not impossible!"

"No matter which one it is, we human civilization will have to deal with it together. At least a global nuclear war cannot break out. Only in this way can we be in the best condition to welcome the invasion of Blue Star civilizations from countless universes and different parallel universes!"

Stop the nuclear war?

But how should these benefits be distributed now? At least the consortiums behind them will not consider civilization, future, or race, but only care about the immediate interests.

Most people think about what to eat tomorrow, and a small number of people think about immediate benefits. As for those wise men and sages who see the future of human society in a hundred or a thousand years, can they persuade these powerful people who are blinded by benefits?

"By the way, the leader behind us also made a guess."

At this moment, Ambassador Zhang seemed to have guessed the thoughts of the think tanks and people behind them. He looked at the three envoys from the major countries and said meaningfully,
"If this really happens, then the longevity technology that has trapped us humans for hundreds of years may... be able to break through. We may even be able to touch the legendary-"

"eternal life."

As soon as these words were spoken, the think tank team behind the three ambassadors' headsets immediately stopped their endless quarrels, leaving only the sound of rapid breathing.

The countdown to the official declaration of global nuclear war...

Completely over.

Seven days later.

The Federation of Human Civilization was officially established.

Thus, a new era of the Federation of Human Civilization began.

June 12, the seventh year of the Federal New Era.

The creator of this world wakes up from his long sleep. (End of this chapter)
