Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

,!

"American?"

Hearing his future self's words, Clark's heart moved, and he suddenly thought that the timing of resetting time seemed to be particular.

The reset time is after the alchemy item "Klein's Bottle" takes effect.

"That's right," he seemed to have seen Clark's thoughts in the future. "The 'Klein's Bottle' that can cause a closed loop in space, coupled with our overuse of time turners, has led to what we are today. The circular dilemma encountered.”

His future self began to explain to Clark.

"Since you have used a time turner, you should have experienced the feeling of transcending from the long river of time, drawing a curve, and then returning to the past."

Clark nodded, and his future self continued.

"So every time we use the time turner to go back to the past, we set off a wave of time."

In the future, he stretched out his hand and used the sensory control of his psychic powers. An illusory image of the river of time appeared in front of Clark.

In the long river of time, waves are rolling and lapping backwards, and in the middle of each wave, there is a little person.

"This is nothing, after all, the waves will always die out."

The higher the surging waves go, the less power they contain, and the little person trapped in them will naturally fall into the long river of time.

"However, we exceeded the usage requirements of the time turner, and it was reused for an extended period of time."

Along with his words, at one place in the long river of time, the waves began to surge repeatedly, one wave after another, one wave higher than the other.

"Coupled with the 'Klein's Bottle' that the Americans gave to the werewolves, the entire dragon farm forms a closed space independent of the real world."

A huge Klein bottle fell from the sky and contained a long period of time in it.

"Countless small waves accumulate and gather in the closed space like this. The power they contain cannot be dissipated, and ultimately affects the surrounding water flow of time, forming a time vortex."

The river water cut off by the Klein bottle surges, and the waves gather together, eventually forming a vortex in the bottle, spinning constantly, without beginning or end, in a continuous cycle.

"So, because time and space are closed, a closed loop is formed here?" Clark looked at the various illusions in his future self's hands and asked tentatively, "This is what we have been doing in time. The reason for the cycle?”

In the future, he maintains the illusion in his hands,

Nodding, "Yes, our current state is equivalent to being sucked into this time vortex and being stuck in it..."

"Then what will happen if this continues? The vortex can't keep spinning, right?" Clark couldn't help but ask.

"This is exactly why when we got this time turner, Professor McGonagall told us not to use it for more than five hours continuously." He sighed in the future.

"Because long before this, the British Ministry of Magic, which used time turners wantonly, had already discovered this potential problem.

I remember that Professor Saul Croaker, who specializes in this area, once wrote in a book that the maximum time to look back without causing serious damage to travelers and time itself is about five hours.

Once they try to backtrack for more than a few hours, those wizards will suffer catastrophic damage.

For many years, British wizards could not figure out why people who traveled long distances through time failed to survive their journeys.

The most recent time-traveling accident occurred in 1899. A witch named Héloïse Mintab was unfortunately trapped in 1402 for five days. Since then, all similar experiments have failed. terminated.

All we know is that by the time she returned to the present day, her body had aged for five centuries, causing irreparable damage to her, and she died at St. Mungo's shortly after the Ministry found her. Got sick in the hospital. "

"I know this," Clark glanced at his future self with dissatisfaction, "We are one person, and I know all this knowledge."

"Knowledge is meaningful only in communication." He from the future smiled, "Doesn't this allow you to organize your thoughts better?"

Clark rolled his eyes when he heard this, but when he thought that the other party was him, he stopped complaining.

"If you look at it this way, even if time in this independent world keeps looping, time is still passing for everyone in it, right?

Does this mean our lives will be wasted in this time vortex? When the cycle ends, we will all suddenly age and die like that Ms. Mintab. "

His analysis caused the illusion in his future self to regenerate and change, and the Klein's bottle in the long river of time was split into two.

The vortex in a bottle gradually shrinks during the rotation, and finally gathers into a point and disappears completely.

The vortex in the other bottle was unable to maintain its own volume as it continued to expand, and eventually collapsed, forming a turbulent flow that gradually subsided.

“When this situation develops, there are two outcomes, either the time vortex shrinks into one point.

All the people in the vortex were wiped away, we were erased from the real world by time, no one knew that we had ever existed, it was as if nothing had happened.

Another situation is when the time vortex collapses, and we are caught up in the turbulence of time and thrown back into the real world.

In this process, we have either gone back in time or experienced the passage of time. Of course, there is also a one-in-a-million chance that we will be released in the right world to protect us from harm. . "

Anyway, this kind of thing may be a disaster for us personally, but for the vast river of time, it is just a little insignificant wave. "

The two Clarks had solemn expressions on their faces at the same time. There was a one-in-a-million chance, which was almost equivalent to nothing.

After a moment of silence, Clark looked at his future self and suddenly asked: "Do you think those American wizards had expected this?"

His future self shook his head.

“I don’t know about this, but judging from this situation, they are the biggest suspects.

First of all, it's not that hard for American wizards with representation in the British wizarding community to know that we have time-turners in our hands.

Secondly, you have seen the alchemy mecha used by the Doom wizard before. Obviously, the alchemy props such as Klein bottles are in the same style as theirs.

In the end, no matter what the outcome is, American Wizards is the party that benefits the most. "

The two people almost thought at the same time that if there is anyone in the wizarding world who has the deepest research on time magic, then apart from the British wizarding community who have time converters, it must be the American wizarding community who has profound research on the theory of relativity.

Obviously, after knowing that Clark and the others had the time turner, the other party deliberately let the werewolves come here with the "Klein's Bottle".

Those werewolves were just a catalyst that prompted them to use the time turner in this closed space. All of this was a trap designed by others.

"Then what should we do?" The two Clarks asked almost in unison.

The two looked at each other, with a wry smile on their faces. In the end, it was Clark from the future who spoke first, "One person is short-sighted, and we are just one person. We can't discuss anything here. It's better to find more people to discuss." Down."

They all looked out the window, where Hermione had just defeated the werewolf and was standing with Clark.

"But isn't time corrective? If we appear in front of Hermione like this and save her, won't there be any accidents like the previous times?" Clark from the past asked his own question.

"You also said that that was before. Now this small world has been temporarily independent of the long river of time. The so-called fate and fate are naturally chaotic and cannot be maintained."

However, at this time, it has transitioned to Hermione being attacked by a "werewolf" and will soon face a time reset.

So after the two Clarks left the room, they waited patiently for the poor signal to appear again, and then directly approached Hermione who was still in the room to prevent her from coming forward to face the werewolf.

This time, nothing unexpected happened, but it took a while just to explain what happened to Hermione.

"So, except for the two of you, we will all be in a constant cycle of resets during this period of time?!"

Hermione looked at the two identical Clarks in front of her with almost suspicion on her face.

"No, correct me, not the two of us, but all 'I', 'I' will not be reset by time." Future Clark corrected her.

"This is unscientific! If this continues, there will be countless you in this world. This is simply nothing." Hermione shouted.

The two Clarks said quietly, "This is indeed not science, this is magic."

Hermione was speechless, and then Clark from the future said again, "Time is running out, let's discuss how to break this time loop safely."

He and his past self looked at Hermione together. They had communicated a lot before, and now it was up to Hermione to see if she had any good ideas.

This smart little mage did not disappoint them and provided them with some ideas from another direction.

"I belong to the Magu family, so I don't have much research on time magic.

But from what you said, those Americans not only combined science and magic to a certain extent, but also invented alchemy tools like the 'Klein bottle' just now.

This shows that for 'time', in addition to magic, science can also be used as a reference, right? "

The two Clarks looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise, which greatly enhanced Hermione's confidence.

"Have you ever heard of the concept of entropy?"

Future Clark nodded, "Entropy has several meanings, but from what you mean, it should be a concept that describes the degree of chaos in a system, right?"

"Yeah." Hermione carefully recalled the contents of the books she had read during the holidays.

“Among the sub-concepts of entropy, there is an item called ‘heat death’, which means that in a closed system, entropy will increase with the passage of time, from order to disorder.

When the entropy in a closed system increases to the extreme, and there is no more entropy to increase, the entire world will fall into 'heat death' and reach the so-called thermal equilibrium, which is equivalent to the destruction of the world. "

Hermione looked at them.

"The situation we are facing today is very similar to this, isn't it? The closed time and space are facing destruction, and what you have to do now is to find a way to solve the 'heat death'."

After listening to the past, Clark said weakly, "I am a wizard. Shouldn't this be a research topic for Nobel Prize winners?"

He took a breath in the future, "To be precise, this has gone beyond the scope of the Nobel Prize, because this is always a hypothetical subject, and no one can design the experimental conditions of a 'closed universe'."

Having said this, he looked at his past self.

"The universe is too big, and the time it takes for heat death to occur is too long. Only a creator god can study this.

Therefore, this physics topic has spread to the fields of philosophy, theology, and even mysticism. Everyone hopes to solve this problem that may lead to the destruction of the universe from other angles. "

"Hey, what a coincidence, although we are not the Creator Gods, we happen to have the conditions to win the Nobel Prize." Clark from the past said with a smile, "Of course, the premise is, how should we solve this damn entropy increase now? question."

"How about opening this 'closed system'," Hermione put forward her own suggestion, "let us connect to the river of time outside."

"Um?"

“The ‘heat death hypothesis’ has a fatal flaw, which is that it requires an absolutely ‘closed system’.

Just like the small world we live in now, various coincidences should make the entire small world "closed", so no matter how hard we try, we will eventually usher in "heat death" and the final destruction. "

Hermione said triumphantly.

"But if you can open this 'closed small world' and introduce new entropy flow from the outside, you can reduce the total entropy of the system. In a sense, you have completed the entropy inversion. Then isn't it Did it solve our dilemma?”

The two Clarks were lost in thought, and finally he from the future spoke:

"The word 'open' is not used accurately, because if the 'closed small world' is only opened from the outside, then the total entropy is not necessarily introduced into a new entropy flow, but may also be leaked, which requires two systems. to determine the entropy difference between them.

So it should be "creation". We need to create something out of nothing in this "closed small world", open up a new timeline, form a new order, or maintain the development of this small world, thereby completing reverse entropy. "
