Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning
Extra Chapter 39: Ban Heng’S Paradox, The Ancients Are More And More Problematic
After the female teacher finished talking about the six corpse bronze plates, most of the students didn't really understand it, or they only understood part of it, but there were still more things they didn't understand.
Therefore, they did not think that the contents recorded on the six corpse bronze plates were very special.
And like Yan Feihong and the few students who really understood what the female teacher said, after thinking about it carefully, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and look in shock.
Seeing that there were no students who had not yet figured it out, the female teacher opened her mouth to explain again:
"I wonder if your science teacher has ever told you what is called 'Banheng's Paradox'?"
All the students below spoke one after another:
"No, the science teacher didn't tell us.
"Teacher, I have seen the 'Ban Heng's' paradox."
"I've also seen 'Banheng's Paradox'."
"I've heard about it, but I haven't looked into it in detail.
It can be said that most of the few students who really understood what was recorded on the six corpse bronze plates were students who had seen or heard of the "Ban Heng's Paradox" before.
The female teacher looked at the students who had either seen it, heard about it, or didn't know what "Banheng's Paradox" was, and waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then briefly explained it to everyone. road:
"We all know that Saint Ben Heng invented the astronomical telescope."
"Although early astronomical telescopes were unable to peer into the more distant stars in the universe, the moon, which is the closest to the earth, can be roughly and clearly observed." 1
"When looking at the moon through an astronomical telescope, Kesheng Benhengshi and others discovered that there is no Chang'é Jade Rabbit or Lunar Palace on the moon."
"You can't even see any animals or plants, there are just craters and mountains that are rugged and desolate."
"It can be said that the great discovery made by the scientific saint Ban Heng on the 17th moon with the help of the astronomical telescope completely gave a fatal blow to the theory of destiny and mythology that had existed since the Qin and Han Dynasties!"
"This point can be said to have played a major role in combating the Confucian theory of destiny that was prevalent at the time, and in breaking down the feudal superstitions at the time!"
"We have told you about this before when we talked about the second contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Ming Dynasty, so we won't go into details here.'
"Let's continue talking about Ke Sheng Ban Hengshi. After observing the moon, he raised a question."
"That is: although there are no animals, plants and creatures on the moon, it does not mean that there are no animals, plants and creatures on other planets."
"No matter how slim the probability of animals, plants and creatures appearing on other planets is, as long as the probability of animals, plants and creatures appearing on other planets is not completely zero."
"Then under the influence of the almost countless huge base of stars in the sky, relatively speaking, there will inevitably be a large number of living planets like the earth under our feet.
"That is: there are a large number of alien civilizations in the universe!"
"At the same time, according to the research of the scientific saint Ban Heng at that time, the history of human beings has existed for at least tens of thousands of years, and the time when the earth appeared was before the birth of human beings.
"Of course, this is an extremely rough research judgment made by Kesheng Banheng who was limited by objective conditions at the time."
"Now we can know based on more advanced archaeological research that according to different studies and definitions, the time of human emergence is different.
“The earliest of these, the earliest humans, date back to 3 million to 5 million years ago.”
"And the earth has existed for more than 4.5 billion years, close to 4.6 billion years ago."
"And other planets in the universe appear earlier or later, and the earliest one may be earlier than the earth."
"Then in such a long time, if there is life on other planets in the universe."
"Theoretically, a sufficiently advanced civilization can expand to a level that is observable by us, but we have found no tangible and reliable evidence of the existence of other intelligent life on Earth or elsewhere in the observable universe."
"That is: we have not detected alien civilization!"
"This is a conjecture paradox proposed by Ban Heng, the sage of science, and it was called 'Ban Heng's paradox' by later scholars.
After listening to the female teacher's explanation, other students who had never heard of "Banheng's Paradox" also understood what Banheng's Paradox is.
Indeed, the universe is so vast, no matter how harsh the conditions for the birth of life on other planets are, as long as the probability of birth of life on other planets is not completely zero.
So given the vast and almost endless number of stars in the universe, it is inevitable that there is no miracle of life like the earth, the only one in this universe.
And the human beings on their earth have only been born for a few million years, and the time that can truly be called the explosion of technological civilization has only been around two or three thousand years.
Nowadays, with only two or three thousand years of scientific and technological civilization, they are already capable of interstellar migration within the solar system, and can even observe stars hundreds of billions of light-years away (the farthest distance in the observable universe is currently 93 billion Light years, the radius is 46.5 billion light years, and the farthest celestial body that can be observed is 13.7 billion light years. The technological civilization of this world is about a thousand years ahead of the current one, so the distance of the most distant celestial body that can be observed is roughly ten times larger.
It only took them two or three thousand years to develop to this level.
If there are other alien civilizations in the universe, then in theory, under the premise that the universe has been born for 13.8 billion years, a sufficiently advanced civilization can expand enough to be observed by us.
However, even today, no other alien civilization has been discovered on Earth.
This is very contradictory, no wonder it is called "Ban Heng's Paradox".
Looking at the students who all understood the meaning of "Ban Heng's Paradox", the female teacher also continued:
"Many scientists have tried to explain Banheng's Paradox, but none of them have ten academic conclusions that are convincing enough for the public.
"So over time, for a long time, the scientific community has been adhering to the saying that 'the earth may be the only miracle of life in the universe.'"
"However, after the corpse's bronze plate was excavated, the 'dark forest theory' proposed by the corpse could explain the 'Ban Heng's Paradox'. "
"Because if we use Zhizi's dark forest theory to explain it, then the reason why we have not discovered other alien civilizations until now is not because other alien civilizations do not exist, but because other alien civilizations are hiding themselves !”
"Other alien civilizations may be more advanced than us, so with our current scientific observation methods, we cannot detect them yet."
"And why hide yourself?"
"To protect ourselves from being attacked, destroyed, and plundered by other alien civilizations!"
"Then how do you feel when you look at this starry sky now?"
The female teacher once again used her personal optical brain to holographically project the previous image of the universe and starry sky.
All the students in the classroom once again looked at the stars in the universe surrounding them. At this moment, they did not feel the same joy or sigh as before. Instead, their hearts were filled with an inexplicable chill.
If Zhizi's "Dark Forest Theory" is correct, doesn't it mean that these seemingly lifeless planets in front of us "are actually hunters disguised in the darkness, hiding themselves?"
As long as other civilizations are discovered, they will plunder and destroy them!
At this moment, all the students felt as if there were countless hunters peeping at them in the starry sky above their heads.
Thinking of this, a group of students also asked anxiously:
"Teacher, have we hidden ourselves now?"
"Are there hidden and disguised alien civilizations on other stars in the solar system?"
"I heard that scientists just launched another detector into the universe. Will this attract the attention of other hidden alien civilizations and discover us?"
All students expressed their own opinions and concerns.
The female teacher also smiled and waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said with a gentle look:
"Don't worry, the scientists have also thought of the problems you are thinking of now, and have taken various preventive measures for them.
"Secondly, it's hard to say about other places in the universe, but there should be no other hidden or disguised alien civilizations in the solar system at present.'
"If there is, we would have discovered it as early as when we were conducting interstellar migration to other stars in the solar system, and a war broke out between the two sides."
"You are not the first to know about Corpse's 'Dark Forest Theory'. Those scientists also know about the 'Dark Forest Theory'."
"Under the premise of knowing the 'Dark Forest Theory', those scientists still choose to launch detectors into the universe. Naturally, they have their thoughts and considerations in it, so you don't have to worry."
"In addition, the most important point is that although Zhizi's 'Dark Forest Theory' can explain the paradox of Kesheng Banheng, it does not mean that Neutron's 'Dark Forest Theory' is completely correct."
"The dark forest theory is based on three premises."
"First, survival is the most fundamental need of human beings, the most fundamental need of the country, and the most fundamental need of racial civilization."
"Second, within a certain time and space, the total amount of resources is limited."
"Third, population, country, and racial civilization will continue to grow and expand.
"These three views show us a basic state of the universe and the contradictions in existence.
"The survival and continuation of civilization requires continuous growth and expansion, otherwise civilization will gradually die out; and there is a contradiction between the resources required for the continuous growth and expansion of civilization and the total amount of resources in the universe remaining unchanged."
"However, if the total amount of resources in the universe does not remain unchanged, but also maintains a state of expansion and increase, then Zhizi's 'Dark Forest Theory' will not be established."
“As for the current exploration and research of the universe by scientists, they are still unable to determine whether the total amount of resources in the universe remains unchanged or continues to expand and increase.
"So students don't have to worry too much about the stars in the universe."
"And if there are really aliens, then I am afraid that the saints of the Ming Dynasty and the scholars of the Pre-Qin Dynasty may be more likely to be the legendary aliens.
"After all, Ban Heng, the saint of science, looked up at the stars in the universe 1,500 years ago and proposed the 'Ban Heng's Paradox'!"
"And the corpse is even more outrageous. Three thousand years ago, he proposed the 'Dark Forest Theory' based on the social conditions at that time. He also looked up at the stars in the universe and raised questions about whether there are people in the stars in the sky!"
"663 even boldly concluded that if there are people in the stars in the sky, that is, if there are alien civilizations, his 'Dark Forest Theory' will also apply!"
“Such an advanced thought and viewpoint would not have been possible in the ‘ignorant’ and ‘backward’ era three thousand years ago.
Even in today's era, that is shocking enough. "
At the end, the female teacher couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, historians and scientists just wanted to find something that could refute the academic theory that "the ancients during the Yin and Shang Dynasties had already discovered and understood the laws of the stars in the solar system."
Conclusion evidence, but unexpectedly, a bronze plate of the body was excavated.
And when digging, the first thing dug out was the sixth bronze plate of the corpse.
After seeing the summary of the "Dark Forest Theory" recorded on the bronze plate of the sixth corpse, researchers in the entire history and science circles at that time became excited and devoted themselves to it.
In the frenzy of exhuming bronze plates of corpses.
One is because there is a character "6" written by Zhong Dingwen on the sixth bronze plate.
So a simple inference can be made, that is, it is hard to say how many pieces are behind a corpse bronze plate like this, but there should be five pieces in front.
And since there are still the first five pieces, those archaeological researchers naturally want to find and find them all.
The second reason is that the sixth corpse bronze plate has already recorded the "Dark Forest Theory", a shocking and advanced ideological point of view.
If the first five bronze plates with corpses existed, what would the first five bronze plates with corpses record?
A group of researchers who are full of curiosity naturally want to know.
After spending a lot of manpower and material resources, a group of archaeological researchers finally collected all six bronze plates of the corpse.
After seeing the contents recorded on the six bronze plates of the corpse, a group of archaeological researchers were also shocked and sighed.
In addition, some bronze vessels from the Pre-Qin period were excavated later.
And on those bronzes, there are also more or less records of some pre-Qin scholars that have not been handed down.
But from today's perspective, it is also a theoretical perspective and discovery that is thousands of years ahead of its time and is enough to shock later generations of scholars.
So originally I just felt that there was something wrong with the ancients of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but now many historians and scientists and even the pre-Qin scholars feel that there is something wrong with them all.
In addition, the saints of the Ming Dynasty also felt that there was a problem.
Well, historians and scientists of the younger generation now feel more and more that their ancestors have a big problem. Maybe the saints of the Ming Dynasty, the pre-Qin scholars, and the ancients of the Yin and Shang Dynasties are the legendary ones.
