Chapter 32 - The Secret of Humanity

According to various speculations, Oliver still think, or one of the "Laplace demon" view is the most reliable.

From the perspective of traditional physics, scientists believe that as long as they know the basic state of each particle in the universe, they can see into the future.

The 19th century physicist Laplace believed that we can consider the present state of the universe as the fruit of its past and the cause of its future.

If a wise man could know the forces of all natural motions and the positions of all naturally constituted objects at a given moment, and if he could also analyze these data, then the motions of the universe, from the largest objects to the smallest particles, would be contained in a simple formula.

For this wise man, nothing is ambiguous, and the future appears to him only as the past, and this is foresight. This wise man was called the "Laplace Demon".

But this view is challenged by quantum mechanics, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, human beings can not even know the position and speed of an electron at the same time, let alone the entire universe? Thus, the Laplace demon does not exist.

However, even quantum mechanics is not necessarily completely correct, opponents argue that what probability waves, creation of something from nothing, function collapse and so on, simply can not be explained by causality, simply no logic ...

Anyway, the public has a point and the public has a point. Some people believe that Calvin's brain has a special computing ability that can project future possibilities based on the known information received, like what divination ah, astrology and so on, are similar products.

This statement seems to make the most sense, but it is only a little bit of sense ...

"So, has Calvin predicted the success rate of Noah's plan?" Oliver asked.

"He said that fate is unfathomable, that every tiny variable causes a butterfly effect, and that he could only see the odds, not the certainty."

Yuriko imitated Calvin's tone in a serious manner, "People don't need to worry, we human beings, under the leadership of the Son of God, will definitely find a way out!"

Hearing these words, Oliver very much wanted to roll his eyes, but held back. In fact, this kind of ambiguous prophecy does not have much meaning, said and did not say the same, but also put the responsibility on themselves. Anyway, Oliver also did not report great expectations, most of Calvin's prophecies are this way.

He prefers that humans find their way to life with their own hands and brains, not with nebulous prophecies. Could a prophecy change the future? Obviously not, the road is underfoot, how can we move forward without walking?

He suddenly felt a little funny, this kind of Calvin's characteristic tone of voice in the mouth of Yuriko, seems very strange. The point was, she could still say it so coldly and seriously that it sounded a bit comical.

After spending so much time together, it was obvious to Oliver that she was a peculiar species with a high IQ and low EQ, not bad for a scientist, but she might starve to death if she went out to mix socially.

Perhaps this is a phenomenon unique to female PhDs? No, much more serious than female PhD ... If you discuss science with her, there is no problem, basically can communicate normally. If you discuss other things, such as life ah, interpersonal aspects, you may hear some unbelievable conclusions.

"So do you think that Calvin can really predict the future?" Oliver weighed his tone and asked.

"What cannot be explained by science does not mean that its does not exist, because the current level of science can reveal too little truth."

Yuriko seemed to be still interested and spoke, "Humans know less about their own brains than even the macrocosm. I once read a report that human superpowers, including prophecy, telepathy, levitation, bioluminescence, bioelectricity, detection, fire control, human nature, mind surgeons, etc., some have been disproven, some can be explained by natural science, but more are still inconclusive."

"I remain skeptical of these as yet inconclusive things, not affirming or denying them. People have studied these paranormal phenomena and eventually set into a discipline called parapsychology. Many countries had studied this parapsychology, and some well-known universities have courses on it."

"For example, your country's two bombs and one star professor Qian has written books about it."

"According to the research, this kind of people with supernatural abilities, usually, the brain is different from ordinary humans. This kind of human with brain dissimilarity is more properly described as a subtle evolution, a manifestation of human adaptation to nature."

"My father believes that such a person, who usually has religious beliefs and a very authenticated will, might have a greater success rate of receiving a perfectin transformation." Her father is Dr. Roman, who has been studying perfectin for four or five years, and can be considered an authority on the subject.

This is the first time Oliver heard of this statement, head down and ponder.

He has been on missions for so many years, he has seen some special people, like what power generation, the power of the infinite, can levitate. But in the end, these special people are not as exaggerated as on the film, power generation is not as good as an electric eel, can levitate also stick to two or three seconds ... Could this type of people, can withstand the perfect vegetation transformation?

Oliver will believe it.

For the perfect vegetation, he certainly has some idea, according to the existing examples, it can transform humans into more powerful superhumans. Compared to superhumans, ordinary humans are too weak, both in terms of intelligence and physical qualities are a long way off.

The most critical thing is that superhumans have the ability to adapt to the environment that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

This ability to adapt is all-round, for example, Oliver these days in reading, incessant brain, it is obvious that he feels his head is getting smarter and smarter, amazing progress.

Of course, ordinary people also have the more you use your brain, but not as he so progress exaggerated.

Another example is that when he used to train physically, he easily surpassed the Guinness record, physical potential seems to be endless, more and more exaggerated, until later reached a relatively high value, the speed of progress slowly down.

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of potential, superhuman is far greater than human.

If you really want to make an interstellar-level voyage, Oliver would like to transform everyone into superhumans. The universe is cold and cruel, and all galaxies are unlikely to be as amiable and gracious as the solar system. What if humans encounter a planet with ten times Earth's gravity when they need to replenish their resources?

Ten times the Earth's gravity, with the weak human body has no way to withstand, and there is no sufficient technical means to mining, what to do, can only wait for death? So only rely on superhumans, in order to better adapt to the cosmic environment.

Besides, the human life span of less than 100 years is too short, maybe a voyage, a large part of the old people, only to evolve into superhumans, life expectancy increased tenfold, only barely qualified to roam the galaxy.

Oliver put this thought in the bottom of his heart, he is not the kind of narrow-minded people, only himself a superhuman, and then in the ordinary people to reign supreme. In fact, this is not much sense, superhuman strength, but a bulldozer, the brain is smart, but also counted supercomputer.

Only if all humans evolve into superhumans, the entire race will have a breakthrough in an essential sense.

"In that case, Calvin is the one with special abilities? Could it be that he has a greater success rate of receiving the Perfectin transformation?" Oliver thought in his mind. Accepting the perfectin transformation, unsuccessful or dead, but there is no example of success, the best result is to become a vegetable ... risk is too big ah.

"Is there any more of this special person in our base?" Oliver asked.

"Uh ... maybe, there is it." Yuriko silent for a while, suddenly blushed, swallowed and sputtered.

This girl with low emotional intelligence showed a very unnatural, Oliver or the first time to see her this kind of expression. Although he was a little curious, but he still had the sense not to ask further, anyway, the perfect vegetarian thing now there is no time to figure out, still have to be put on the future.

"Knock, knock" at this time, suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

The one who pushed the door in was Wade, who said hurriedly, "Captain, I want to outlaw the Lunar Society!"
