At Hawking’s home at Cambridge University, his party has begun.

A table of sumptuous food and wine was prepared on site, dozens of balloons adorned everywhere, and Hawking sat in a wheelchair, quietly waiting for a possible “time traveler” to arrive from the future.

His nurse came up and said, “Professor, where is the banner you want?” ”

Hawking was in a wheelchair, using his speech synthesizer, and it took a while to reply: “Hang in the living room, and then you can take a picture of me.” ”

The caregiver, Elaine, who has been working for him for ten years, smiled and hung a “Welcome Time Traveler” banner in the brightly lit living room.

Looking at the words on the banner, Elaine smiled: “Wow, it turns out that our Doctor is going to discuss cosmic affairs with future people, as a Muggle, shouldn’t I be present?” ”

“Of course, so you don’t steal the salad, what you did, people will know in the future.” Hawking tilted his neck and said in his unique electronic synth.

Elaine smiled even more, took out her phone and took a picture of Hawking, and then took a few photos of the party table, balloons, and banners.

Finally, she picked up her plate and ate the fruit salad and said, “Really? Professor, if I steal a piece, will people in the future know? Hmm, there’s less salad dressing. ”

“Future people will of course know, because this is something that has already happened to them. Hawking said.

Elaine ate a few pieces and said, “Don’t you think that time travel doesn’t exist? I remember what protection was called…”

“The timing protection conjecture, so this is a test and a joke. I know about the future, but I can’t go back to the present to tell you. Hawking said.

“Joke? Elaine smiled.

Hawking tilted his neck and smiled, part of his facial muscles could move, but his smile was more like a tooth grin.

“There will be no guests. Elaine, you can eat a little first, but don’t move the ten bottles of Cook champagne, I’ll take it to my collection.” “Hawking finally had a showdown.

Elaine knew that this was the case, as the scientist who least recognized time travel, how could Hawking support such a thing as future people traveling to the past?

He also took out ten bottles of Cook champagne that he treasured, which was literally bleeding.

Sure enough, it’s just a show,

It’s just a pose.

Elaine said: “Professor, just now there was a man wandering outside the courtyard, and then he was chased away by Thomson, as if he was using your doorstep as a meeting place. He won’t be the man of the future, right? Your security guard may have missed you out on a great discovery. ”

Hawking said: “The real future man, he should bring my invitation. And my invitation, which only exists in my brain, will not be published until tomorrow. ”

Elaine clapped her hands and said, “Sure enough, you didn’t plan to have anyone coming… No wonder you pulled out your most precious champagne collection. ”

Hawking said: “Time travel can’t be done, it has too many unexplained paradoxes, so when time travel appears, the law of cause and effect is paradoxical, and time and space collapse.” ”

“I think there is always an invisible force interfering with the timing that doesn’t let that happen! It’s like the Overseer of the Universe conjecture. ”

Elaine said: “So you want to do an experiment before you retire and prove that time travel does not exist…”

Hawking grinned, and said in an electronic voice: “This experiment is not rigorous, although I firmly believe that time travel does not exist, but it must be admitted that even if the time traveler does not come, it may be that my party is not attractive enough, it may be that the future law does not allow time travel, or it may be… Humanity has no future…”

Elaine shrugged, “Humanity has no future… It’s horrible. ”

“Instead, I’m hoping that the Time Traveler will join your party and finish your champagne!” ”

Hawking quipped: “No! Champagnes are my treasure and I won’t let them be drunk. ”

“But Professor, what would you do if the time traveler did come? Will you go crazy? Elaine laughed.

Hawking grinned, thought for a long time, and then said in an electronic voice: “If someone attends this party, I won’t send out invitations!” ”

Elaine was stunned and exclaimed, “Huh? Don’t send invitations? ”

Hawking said: “This is also a paradox similar to the grandmother’s paradox. If there are no future people to party, it is somewhat of a sign that time travel does not exist. If someone from the future is partying, I don’t send invitations, I want to know how he came with my invitation! ”

Elaine was surprised: “Isn’t this a paradox? ”

Hawking said: “Yes, if the paradox is really allowed to occur, it is likely that time and space will collapse and cause and effect will collapse.” According to my temporal protection conjecture, either the time traveler was erased in an instant, or the universe collapsed on its own, or the time machine ceased to exist. ”

“So the experiment I said is not rigorous, I think so, future travelers naturally know the consequences, so even if they have this technology, they dare not come!” ”

Elaine looked at Hawking speechlessly, well… This is thoroughly … I didn’t plan anyone to come.

“To protect your champagne, you fought too…” said Elaine.

Hawking’s eyes were deep: “The invitation paradox and the grandmother paradox are equivalent, this is not that I am making things difficult, but a risk that any time travel must face.” So if you want to participate in this party, you must overcome the problem of paradox. ”

Elaine pondered: “So whether it is the universe in order not to be destroyed, or the time traveler in order not to be erased, this points to one result, that is, no one is involved in this party.” Even if God lets him come, he will erase him in an instant,”

Hawking said: “This is time series protection, so time travel will not exist. ”

“So I took out all my champagne collection and made this bet, I won’t lose. Have you finished taking the photo? You can put the champagne back. ”

Ding dong!

As soon as Elaine picked up the two bottles of champagne on the table, she heard the doorbell and looked over.

At the same time, Hawking’s eyes rolled slightly, staring at the door.

“It’s me, Elaine. “Outside the door came the voice of security guard Thomson.

Elaine breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that there was really time for travelers to come, she walked over to open the door, and saw two people walking in outside the door, one was a security guard, and the other was a casually dressed Chinese man.

The Chinese man gestured to Hawking in the center of the living room with a slight bow, then showed the invitation with one hand and grabbed Elaine’s skirt with the other.

Just as he bowed his head, Thomson said: “Professor, he came with an invitation, saying that he was attending your party, you didn’t tell me what the invitation looked like, can you see if it is this?” ”

Hearing this, Elaine was shocked, her hand shook, and the champagne slipped from her hand.

At the same time, however, the hand arrived and caught the champagne steadily.

“Professor Hawking’s treasure, don’t break it. The Chinese man said in fluent English and returned the champagne to Elaine.

Elaine didn’t dare to take it, saying that no one would come?

She quickly looked at Hawking, only to see Hawking grinning, his eyes dry, and an expression of wanting to stand up!

But the speech synthesizer didn’t say a word, he was using a small amount of his active muscles to control the speech synthesizer, but his mind was too chaotic to organize a sentence for half a day.

“What about Q? Where is the Q I want to send? ”

Hawking organized the language, but could not find the letters he wanted, and in a hurry, he thought that he could send phrases directly.

“yes! yes! yes! ”

Seeing Hawking say this, Thomson knew that he was saying that the invitation was correct.

“Understood, the next person who holds this kind of invitation, I will directly invite him in.” Have a nice party, Professor. Thomson said as he left, glancing at the banner ‘Welcome Time Traveler’ in the living room.

Thomson smiled and thought to himself that Professor Hawking could really play.

He didn’t know what the party was, and Hawking only told him to bring someone in if they had an invitation.

At the moment, he was just a little surprised to see the time traveler party. It’s normal for alien parties to have no aliens, and futuristic parties to have no futurists. It doesn’t matter what the theme of the party is at all, what matters is communication.

The security guard left, and Elaine was still at the door, at a loss.

Hawking’s breathing became more and more rapid, it was difficult to speak steadily, and he could only frantically send the phrase: “Please come in!” Come in! Come in! Come in! ”

The Chinese man walked into the living room and bowed slightly to Hawking: “Hello, Professor Hawking, my name is Hua Hu, just call me ‘Hua’.” ”

The person who came was Huang Ji, and he was the only one in this universe who could come to this party with an invitation.

Hawking was dying, and the more anxious he was, the more he couldn’t organize his words, and he even felt that it was difficult to breathe at the moment.

And Elaine was also stunned there, not knowing to come and help herself.

Elaine, really scared.

She knew from Hawking’s reaction that the invitation was right.

Are you kidding? As mentioned earlier, it is impossible for a future person to come to the party with an invitation, and this person will come?

And as soon as he entered the door, he caught the champagne that he accidentally dropped, and that calmness gave her an extremely terrifying sense of mystery.

Yes, horror.

Elaine didn’t know what Ye Gong Haolong was, but her feelings at the moment were the same as Ye Gong’s.

Jokingly throw a party, invite time travelers, and people really come…

It’s like not believing that ghosts exist, and then doing a ghost trick ritual, and the ghost runs to the front and says: Are you looking for me?

In fact, even for people who believe in the existence of aliens, when aliens descend on the head, their first reaction is terrifying.

The feeling of an instantaneous impact on the worldview is an indescribable fear.

Elaine leaned her back against the door, holding champagne in both hands, her body stiff, her wrists trembling slightly.

She was overwhelmed and even forgot what she was supposed to do.

Huang Ji gave them time to calm down, came to the table, and glanced at the so-called delicacies on the table.

Well, he doesn’t want to eat anything except fruit …

Elaine looked at Huang Ji, who was facing away from her, and suddenly remembered such an important moment, should she take a picture?

She just touched out her phone…

Suddenly Huang Ji said: “Elaine, you control Professor Hawking’s Twitter, it is best to obtain his consent before taking photos and tweeting, otherwise it will lead to very serious consequences.” ”

Standing behind Huang Ji, Elaine, who had already taken out her mobile phone, was so frightened that she threw her mobile phone away instantly.

“Oh my God! What am I doing! “Elaine is really scared, taking pictures and tweeting by herself, will it cause the universe to collapse?

“Yes, yes, yes… Sorry! ”

“I didn’t mean anything else! I didn’t mean to destroy the world! ”

Elaine said incoherently, she remembered what Hawking said about causal paradoxes, the collapse of time and space, and so on, and immediately thought about it.

How did the time traveler know she was going to take a picture? Did you really take pictures and tweet in the future? And then very serious consequences? Killed a lot of people?

In particular, Huang Ji said ‘it will lead to very serious consequences’, and Elaine instantly substituted herself into the kind of idiot who is common in movies and almost destroys the world because of ignorance.

She obviously thought too much, since the future person stood in front of him, then the so-called timing protection was completely untrue.

“Calmly, the universe is strong and will not collapse so easily. Huang Ji put down the Cook champagne and picked up a plate of fruit salad.

At this moment, Elaine knew that she was going to entertain, and quickly came to the dining table.

Huang was at the extreme of the fruit salad he had stolen before.

Elaine struggled with whether to tell the other party that she had stolen the plate of fruit.

As a result, he saw that Huang Ji directly handed the plate to himself.

“This is what you have prepared, of course, you can eat it if you want.” Huang Ji said.

Elaine was stunned, she didn’t say anything yet.

Huang Ji added some salad dressing and said, “It’s almost the same now.” ”

Elaine trembled and took the fruit salad.

Sure enough, do future people know that they will steal fruit salad?

When she secretly ate it before, she did complain that there was less salad dressing.

Elaine silently put the Cook champagne that was supposed to be put away, and shook it instinctively, ready to open the bottle.

“No need, I don’t drink, let Professor Hawking continue to collect.” Huang Ji said.

Elaine’s hand froze and looked at Hawking.

I saw that Hawking was so anxious that his mouth trembled, no, he had difficulty breathing.

Elaine immediately came to Hawking, she knew that Hawking’s health was very bad recently, and even on April 6, she canceled a visit due to illness, and then went to the hospital for hospitalization.

“Professor, how are you? Do you want to go to the hospital? Elaine said instinctively while putting a ventilator on him.

Hawking was speechless, what hospital did he go to!

He would rather die than really just eat fruit after the time traveler comes!

He also blamed himself, completely unprepared for the time traveler to actually arrive, so that he and Elaine were so at a loss.

Elaine’s brain was blank nervously, and he had difficulty breathing, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

At this moment, Huang Ji walked in front of him, ate an orange with one hand, rubbed Hawking’s throat with the other, took a cushion to raise Hawking’s neck slightly, and inserted a needle into his crypt.

In an instant, UU read a book www.uukanshu.com Hawking was much more comfortable, he still couldn’t move, but his breathing was smooth.

He looked at Huang Ji carefully again, and the Chinese man in front of him looked ordinary and casual, but there was an indescribable mystery and confidence.

Hawking had also fantasized about meeting time travelers countless times, but he never imagined that the other party would be Chinese.

But thinking about it, there seems to be an unexpected but reasonable sense of appropriateness.

“Welcome! Hua, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect it to really come…” Hawking finally uttered a sentence.

Huang Ji smiled and said, “I still have an hour and a half to accompany you, you don’t have to be too excited.” ”

“Aren’t you afraid to change history? Hawking didn’t care about Huang Ji’s miraculous relief of his symptoms, he had too many questions to ask.

Huang Ji said: “History cannot be changed, it can only be created. ”
