"Intelligent life living in fish tanks has observed this phenomenon and summarized it as a universal axiom: 'Every morning at 7:00, food will appear in the fish tank at a regular time,'" Shang Yinhe said. "However, one day, this The man was on a business trip, and the intelligent life in the fish tank was greatly surprised. They shouted: 'Oh my God, the axioms of the universe have failed!'"

"You mean," Mu Shiming tasted it thoughtfully, "do you think that Jiuqu just changed the rhythm of his video release in an ordinary way, and in fact, probably nothing happened?"

"Who knows," Shang Yinhe could only treat the complaints as complaints instead of his true words, "Let's wait patiently. Maybe after a while, Jiuqu's video will appear?"

Chapter 221 Fish Tank

I don’t know why, when Shang Yinhe was telling this little story about the fish tank, he couldn’t help but think of the strange eyes in the [Eye of the Distant] copy, and how he fell asleep in the appraisal room after [World Storm] ended. The vast and vast universe that I saw when I was in the middle of the night.

His intuition seemed to be hinting at something to him, but when Shang Yinhe concentrated on thinking, he seemed to be unable to think of anything.

He couldn't help but frown slightly and review the fish tank story he just told.

Although this little fish tank story is a small complaint about people's habit of releasing Jiuqu videos, in essence, it can actually be said to be an alternative mockery of scientific induction.

Scientific induction is the source of many modern scientific theories.

People put common natural phenomena together and summed up the so-called truth. Whether Newton deduced the three laws of force from experiments, or Kepler summarized the three laws of planetary motion from Tycho's observation data, or more scientific discoveries, they all originated from the inductive method. Especially in the early days of science, almost everything originated from induction.

The spirit of induction, the spirit of observing phenomena and summarizing laws, is also the foundation of the spirit of modern science.

However, as the fish tank joke just said, the "natural phenomenon" on which induction is based is probably just an illusion.

We regard many things as truth and summarize them as "scientific laws", and many truth laws are the foundation of modern science. The most famous example is the constant speed of light.

But maybe, these so-called truths and the so-called foundation of modern science are just handfuls of food casually spilled by people feeding in fish tanks?

The story of the fish tank can be further evolved: in order to make better use of the food in the fish tank, the intelligent life in the fish tank made many adaptations to the fact that food will appear at 7:00.

In terms of life adaptation, they will become clear-headed and energetic at 7:00 every day, making it easier to grab food; in terms of technological adaptation, they have invented a device that can efficiently absorb food at 7:00.

However, what if the person feeding the fish tank suddenly changes the feeding time from 7:00 to 9:00? Then, all those biological adaptations and equipment are equivalent to being useless.

Furthermore, David Hume once proposed skepticism and pointed out the leakage between cause and effect; Bertrand Russell once put forward the hypothesis about the inductor's fire chicken and told a story about a man who fed fire chicken on a regular basis. Story; "The Three-Body Problem" mentions the shooter hypothesis, which regards the random behavior of a three-dimensional sharpshooter as an iron law in the two-dimensional universe. These are all deductions from the fish tank story.

Fish tank, distant eye, universe, dream...

Countless thoughts were intertwined together, and accompanied by the uneasy prompts from his intuition, Shang Yinhe couldn't help but have a headache. He couldn't help but whispered the words: "Fish tank..."

"It doesn't matter if it's a fish tank or not," Mu Shiming's words interrupted Shang Yinhe's thoughts, "In short, Jiuqu delayed the release of his video, which really worries us. There are many people in our affairs bureau every day Discussing this."

"Jiuqu is so powerful, do we still need to worry about him?" Shang Yinhe said with difficulty, pulling back his thoughts that had flown endless kilometers away.

He reluctantly gave up his intuitive ideas about the "fish tank".

Anyway, after redeeming the [Intuition Plus Qiáng] skill, his intuition would often remind him of something.

But every time, his intuition only called the police but did not provide a solution; every time, Shang Yinhe's head hurt, and he could not think of the content of the prompt.

After thinking about it a few times, Shang Yinhe gave up exploring what his intuition warned him about.

——Anyway, I can’t even think of it.

——Or maybe he actually doesn’t want to think about it:

——If his vague guess is indeed correct,

——If there are indeed some laws in the entire universe that are similar to "the owner of the fish tank puts food in once at 7 o'clock every day\

,"——If some of the foundations of the scientific laws of human society are wrong,

——So, what should we do about the future of mankind...

"Whether Jiuqu is powerful and whether we need to worry about Jiuqu are two different things." Mu Shiming was a potential admirer of Jiuqu. He immediately refuted Shang Yinhe's words, "Are we just because of Jiuqu?" Qu looks so powerful that you can ignore all the efforts behind him and all the backlash he may bear.

, and all the difficulties and obstacles? "
