I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1207 Debating Scriptures
The lab was bustling with activity again.

Since the cube awoke, the research institute has never rested. The laboratory lights are always on, and the sound of busy footsteps echoes in the corridor.

But these "seekers" in white coats inside the research institute didn't complain at all. On the contrary, they were unusually excited, their eyes, with dark circles under their eyes, were full of fighting spirit, like tireless machines...

"The gravitational waves of the cube have disappeared, and it can no longer be seen on the gravity grid. The place where it was was a complete void."

"Hollow? How can this be? Let me see..."

A group of researchers gathered around the screen, looking at the gravity net image presented by the simulation software, and all showed strange expressions.

Amidst the dense network of gravitational lines, a clean, cube-shaped cavity appeared. When the gravitational lines passed through this cavity, they disappeared and reappeared at the other end, as if they had been "hidden."

Logically speaking, gravitational lines should not be severed. Force is transmissible, and there is no such thing as a "broken force". However, the forces on both sides of the cavity are indeed broken, but they are connected in some incomprehensible way. Pulling on one side will cause a reaction on the other side.

"I feel like... the force is being transmitted, from one side of the cube to the other, without touching the cube itself, it just passes right over it, and all the force that passes through the cube will be affected by this transmission."

"That seems to be true, otherwise gravitational voids wouldn't exist..."

"What about the drag the cube encounters during flight? Has it been monitored?"

"Yes, it is directly connected to the other side. Group B just told me that their particle observatory observed a quantum jump without energy change."

"Quantum leaps without energy changes?"

"Yes, when the gas particles at the front of the moving cube collide with the surface of the cube, they jump directly to the other side without changing their energy level or integrity."

"What kind of leap is this? This isn't a leap at all, it's teleportation! The cube transports the objects it touches directly to the other side in parallel, so its movement is without any resistance, and the force passes right through it and acts directly on the other side!"

"But wouldn't teleportation interrupt the connection? Why would force also be transmitted? The particles at the front and back ends have created a spatial barrier, so how can force still be transmitted?"

"Have you forgotten? Space can also be teleported to the other side! The teleportation of the cube is not object-oriented! What we observe is only the statement; those things we don't observe are also teleported at the same time, space particles, time particles... everything we can understand and everything we can't understand will be teleported to the other side."

"From this perspective, a cube is equivalent to 'not existing'? The top connects to the bottom, the front connects to the back, the left connects to the right, and there are six faces. Although each opposite face is one meter apart, they are all 'in contact' with each other. In essence, a cube is just a 'point mass' without volume or mass?"

"Yes! That's it, the essence of a cube is 'emptiness'!"

"Then what are the cavities we observe in the gravitational field? Since we can observe them, we can 'see' them, so how can they be empty? And we can also see with our naked eyes, so is that metallic cube fake? Does it not exist? Although it is all a disguise, these disguises also have their significance, don't they?"

"But when we determine the essence of a thing, we should analyze it from its most basic existence, not from the observed phenomena. All observations are limited. The 'air' we see with our naked eyes is not really empty, and the 'darkness' we can see is just the absence of light. The limitations of observation means that we can only look at things from a single perspective. The only thing that can truly define the essence of a thing is its existence itself."

"Existence is existence, it is not emptiness!"

"If it doesn't exist, it simply doesn't exist; it's empty!"

"The cube does not exist for us."

Several researchers in front of the screen were passionately debating, each expressing their own views. Their scientific concepts clashed fiercely at that moment, and then sparked brilliant ideas after intertwining... "You say the cube doesn't exist, then what have we been doing all these years? It must have 'appeared' there and had an 'impact' on reality, right? Even if it's all a disguise, it truly exists in our timeline. We are now debating about 'it' and conducting research on 'it.' 'It' is in the laboratory, floating there."

"..."

After some debate, the researchers finally calmed down.

“I think our understanding may be somewhat flawed. Physical ‘emptiness’ does not mean all ‘emptiness’, and the disguise created by the cube is not empty.”

"Do you mean there are other levels besides physics?"

"No, the 'emptiness' I define is simply 'emptiness' in its essential nature, while the 'emptiness' you define is 'emptiness' based on its actual impact. Our standards of judgment are different, and we're not talking about the same thing. We don't need to argue about this. Our goal is simply to understand the current state of the cube. If we continue to argue further, it will rise to a philosophical level..."

The debate finally ended, and the researchers, looking at the empty gravity grid on the screen, couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really special..."

"The Abyss has indeed brought many things that we cannot understand. If only the Abyss had not been closed."

"If you say that outside, you'll get beaten to death."

"Just kidding... I was just wondering, can the world we see really be explained by absolute theories? Can we define emptiness and non-emptiness?"

As the researcher was muttering to himself, a colleague next to him suddenly nudged him with his elbow.

"what happened?"

He turned his head and noticed a figure standing in his peripheral vision.

"Director Wang, you're here, haha." The researcher scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly to the person behind him.

Even though we were just having a normal debate, seeing the leader made me feel guilty for "being caught slacking off."

Director Wang didn't say anything, but simply patted the researcher on the shoulder and asked about their observation results.

The researchers immediately resumed their work, reporting the test results in detail and providing their own analysis.

"Ah."

After listening to the researcher's report, Director Wang nodded slightly, turned and walked towards another group, leaving behind a strange remark before he left:
"Form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this."

……

"What is the leader saying?"

"I don't understand. It's probably something from an old era that I can't figure out."
