Three-Body 三体 Episode 2

Wang Miao and Ding Yi met alone. Seeing the wedding ring on his hand, Ding Yi lamented that he bought the house because he wanted to marry Yang Dong, and thought that Yang Dong would really come into the family, but she was like It is as far away from you as the stars in the sky. Wang Miao said that Chang Weisi had approached him in the afternoon, hoping that he could join the Science Frontiers Organization. Ding Yi was very happy when Wang Miao said she didn't agree, and scolded them for being a bunch of arrogant idiots. They have done some investigations, and they should know that there are two people who have nothing to do with scientific boundaries, and Yang Dong is one of them.

Why did Yang Dong make such a choice? Ding Yi picked up a book on the table and gave Wang Miao the answer, because physics no longer exists. Wang Miao did not believe that if physics did not exist, Ding Yi would let go of the book in his hand and fly in the sky instead of falling to the ground. Ding Yi staggered and asked Wang Miao to help him remove the books on the pool table. He and Yang Dong liked billiards very much because it reminded them of particle collisions in accelerators. Ding Yi asked Wang Miao to keep moving the pool table, but Wang Miao didn't understand what he was doing. After five times, Ding Yi announced the end of the experiment. Wang Miao understood Ding Yi's meaning, but didn't understand what he wanted to express. Ding Yi asked him to imagine another result, and Wang Miao quickly thought about it in horror. Did such a result really happen in Yang Dong's laboratory? Ding Yi replied in the affirmative that it happened, and it is normal for the experiment to have abnormal data, but he said this time it was different. After the death of Yang Dong's mentor, Professor Man Fei, the police and Yang Dong confirmed the two faxes she sent, but she found that before her results came out, Professor Man Fei had obtained the exact same data as Yang Dong. At that time, Yang Dong was emotionally agitated, and he couldn't believe everything in front of him.

Wang Miao also thinks it is absolutely impossible, and Ding Yi also cannot believe such a result, but if it is true, it means that physics does not exist, which will be a huge disaster for cutting-edge scientific results. Sagittarius and farmer are the sayings on the border of science. To put it bluntly, those unprovable theories only give people a little hope, but this kind of hope will also drag people into the abyss, just like Yang Dong. Ding Yi always thought that he could catch her, but now he realized that he might be wrong.

Ding Yi's words echoed in Wang Miao's mind all the time. Even on the way home, she seemed to be entangled by two billiard balls, and they escaped gravity. Wang Miao went to meet Shen Yufei. This yard is the private residence of one of their members, and it is used for scientific boundary discussions. Shen Yufei welcomes Wang Miao very much. They were discussing the shooter and rancher hypothesis. Suppose there is a sharpshooter who punches a hole every ten centimeters on a target. Imagine that a two-dimensional intelligent creature lives on this target. Scientists among them discover a great law after observing their own universe. There must be a hole in the unit of ten centimeters, and they regard this sharpshooter's whim behavior as the iron law in their own universe. The other is the farmer's hypothesis. There is a group of turkeys on a farm, and the farmer comes to feed them at eleven o'clock every morning. The scientists among them have observed the laws of their own universe after a year of observation. Every day at eleven o'clock at noon Food arrives. But today is Thanksgiving, the food didn't come, they became the food on the table.

We may be the two-dimensional scientists on the target, or we may be the turkey scientists on the farm. The truth that two-dimensional creatures come into contact with is not the truth at all, and their science has boundaries. One scientist was so emotional that he didn't accept that he was a turkey scientist, even if he did. Wang Miao said that this kind of statement will kill people.

After leaving here, Wang Miao saw Shi Qiang, and his expression was not very good. Wang Miao realized that all of this was Shi Qiang's trick. It was Shi Qiang who planned to observe Yang Dong by himself, and Yang Dong's funeral was two days later. Shi Qiang believes that Wang Miao will definitely appear at Yang Dong's funeral. He is a very special person. Shi Qiang also issued a military order in front of Chang Weisi, and he would definitely solve the case from Wang Miao, but he had to solve the suspension for himself.

At Yang Dong's funeral, Wang Miao met her mother, Ye Wenjie, and gave Ye Wenjie a photo of Yang Dong that she accidentally took during the experiment as a souvenir. But when the photo was taken out, Wang Miao found a string of numbers that did not belong to it, and quickly took it back. Shi Qiang was not far away and saw him chatting with Ye Wenjie for a long time. When Wang Miao returned home, he carefully observed the string of numbers, and hurriedly asked the person who developed the photos, but there was also this string of codes on his negatives, and the codes could even change colors according to the background. Wang Miao carefully studied the numbers on the photos, trying to find patterns. Wang Miao confirmed that this was a countdown, and the last photo stayed at 1194 hours. Wang Miao picked up the camera again to take pictures to demonstrate, but now he still has 1,187 hours, forty-nine days. After forty-nine days, what will happen again?
