370. Qualia, 3

(Rose)

Bleue was exploring the surrounding areas. The girl as well, on her own also. And she was without weapon. I wondered for a moment if she was really just human. There could be more to her than meets the eye?

M - She is human. But she is prodigiously intelligent as well. Nothing will happen to her.

I understand a little better their language now, but not all of it.

And even Ana speaks better than I.

She, he and the computer are teaching me intensely.

I'm back to private tutoring as in my younger years.

For language and science. Chemistry, Physics and the European language.

R - When did English disappeared?

M - It didn't, but its steep decline in use was probably around the 23rd century. Depending on where you go, it happened sooner or later than that.

Finding that your widespread mother tongue became a dead language like Latin is really an odd feeling. It's hard to express.

Meanwhile, I'm learning this new language.

It still uses the Latin alphabet when written thank goodness.

I was right about one thing. What I call daiûa, in the sense of new species, he calls dünyanın çiçekleri. Which roughly translates as...

R - Flowers of the world?

M - Kwiatziemia, tak.

Tak means yes. This language is confusing because some nouns can have two pronunciations and writing.

My brain hurts a lot like a sore muscle. But I'm learning to hear the sounds and to speak.

And it's unexpectedly pleasing to enlarge your mind with the potentials of another language to use.

It's expanding your world in a few ways.

So do the knowledge in physics and chemistry, but it's far more abstract.

Mushio teaches me the fundamentals gently. I got quickly and easily too confused in the baryonic webs, so we stepped back to atoms.

Atomos. Misleading name nowadays, but starting at the real elementary level is too hard.

Using the computer, he was able to show me wavelengths and probability fields. Pictures help greatly.

That under two different languages, or models as he calls them, the electron can act as a diffuse probability, or as a concentrated impact of energy.

Then, magnetism, and other elemental strengths building atoms and holding them together.

Orbitals like planets, with quantum levels of stability. Somehow it still is intuitive to me that some distances are more stable than others. It speaks to me as with different level of electric energy or temperature will shift the stable levels.

Temperature being oscillating speed and width, a vibration, that's less easy to grasp right away for me.

Temperature is like sound, or light, in a way. I thought heat would have been another elementary particle. It turns out it's probably not. Or in this model, it's turns to photons as well.

R - Maybe physical oscillations of particles collide with a Kelvin field, thus creating a temperature? As a form of friction?

Mushio finds my thought amusing, but acknowledges it.

It's a good sign he says to ask such questions.

Weirder even would later be the collision results of particles with the field of T.I. He seems to think it can warp time itself. And if you can warp time, you're warping entropy as well. It still sounds abstract to me.

I would be inclined to believe that time can be twisted because of T.I, since I came from a different time. But quantum physics and the wish of a plant demon are two different things, and time doesn't seem willing to bend that easily.

My pflanzenteufel would be another kind of dünyanın çiçekleri to him. I think I'll keep just calling Blume as Blume to keep it simple. It's getting confusing now that I add the vocabulary of a second language to the situation.

As it was logically bound to happen, I begin to learn of entropy and enthalpy. It really can be hard to understand, even if it were taught in your own language.

But these concepts are very pragmatic and they make a lot of sense.

I have a strong affinity, not to say liking, with the many concepts related to chaos, so I rapidly come to like entropy.

Enthalpy relates to temperatures and energy amounts if I understood correctly, so it also makes sense.

It's good, but it's tiresome.

Another day, we discussed of the galactic expansion, or something like that. Many other things I couldn't understand were scattered there. He tried his best to help me understand here too.

It took me more days to get a better idea of how planets could be formed from the primordial sea of chaos. A sea of chaos, and elementary particles.

Gravity is easier to understand once you really accept that you stand on a giant ball of mass. It's also one of the few fields I had some education for as a child.

Anyway, understanding that everything falls toward it and not just downward is the key. Masses attract each other.

Mushio believes T.I does to.

That it condensates into droplets, small invisible planets, with higher energy potential. And there, primitive life forms can sprout and blossom as if they were seeds.

T.I could become structured like D.N.A, and a life form becoming stable.

I learnt what deoxyribonucleic acid was as well. I heard that concept a few times with Blume also.

There's so many concepts that are so hard to imagine, but sound so intuitive after you've learnt of them. Like the evolution of species, one of the other few domains of science I was familiar with beforehand.

And the most amazing discovery of all came abruptly to me one day.

It was a realisation, a sudden spark.

That evolution, genetics, chemistry and nuclear physics, it was all linked together!

It was probably so trivial to Mushio it wasn't worth pointing out, but it was a revolution inside my head. And the electric shock of the discovery made it go blank for a while.

All these domains of science are actually holding and impacting each other. They are deeply bound to each other.

Evolution is impacted by D.N.A modifications, along with R.N.A I would later learn, and metabolic changes, which all come from chemical changes, which result from physical impacts and interactions at atomic levels.

That's amazing! Reality is awesome, and sciences being able to open doorways into these domains is incredible.

It's a miracle to see so much of reality uncovered to our understanding.

Microbiology is especially interesting, since it drives all biology. Unfortunately my current teacher knows far less about biology since he was a nuclear physicist.

He's aware we have flora of microbes inside of us and on our skin, but he knows very little about them.

Radioactivity is also an intriguing domain of energy definitely. One he is currently studying again, reviewing it, to better understand it from a modern perspective that includes the effects of T.I over the world.

He uses his past knowledge to decipher what that new nuance really is. And it appears to work.

Everyone in the world who was able to connect to the invisible computer network tried to understand what had happened to the world.

After the end occurred, these survivors exchanged ideas quite fast, and information were shared faster, before the expected decay of the network would render communications impossible.

They understood faster than I would ever have that they had to go back to the roots of reality to understand what was happening.

It wasn't about the world, nor weapons, nor the individuals, not even demons nor chemistry.

Back to the atomos of particle physics, where reality's true nature is set.

Down there to the Planck scale, someone eventually found the difference between the old world and the new one, as a small variation in numbers. It was the mark of something later named T.I.

Nothing but a slight difference in the fundamental beginning and scale of reality, with drastic consequences in the far end.

That's chaos.

And that's evolution.

And it's incredibly fulfilling to learn about these things far beyond my imagination.
