Chapter 358 – Additional Livestream, World’s Essence (3)

“Now that I’ve said all that, I’m sure quite a few people among the audience should already know under what circumstances the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics can be perfectly integrated.”

Putting up a finger, Chen Yu nodded and said, “That’s right. There is only one answer, and that is a two-dimensional world.

“Only when the world is two-dimensional in nature can the theory of relativity and quantum theory be perfectly integrated. For example, how weak gravity maintains the rotation of spiral galaxies, why microscopic particles have the ‘action at a distance’ effect, quantum tunneling, etc. All of these things can have a reasonable explanation in a two-dimensional system. In other words, the three-dimensional space-time in general relativity comes from the two-dimensional surface of quantum mechanics.

“From this, we managed to infer an absurd answer.

“That is, the universe in our eyes, the galaxy we live in, the ground we step on, the muscles, bones, and cells in our bodies…all three-dimensional objects are merely illusions. The essence of all these things is two-dimensional!

“The world itself is a two-dimensional plane!”

[Nani?]

[I’m stunned.]

[So, we’re all actually 2D people?]

[It turns out that the saying that the origin of all things is 2D is actually true!]

[No wonder why I like 2D waifus. It wasn’t without reason.]

[I can’t accept this. Even if it makes sense logically, I can only regard this as an absurd idea. Unless the UP gives us convincing mathematical formulas and experimental evidence, I won’t be convinced.]

[I just came into the universe. So, this is the world of 2D? I like it already.]

Chen Yu remained calm as he looked at the barrage of bullet comments displayed on his screen. After waiting for two minutes to go by, he continued his explanation, “I don’t even need to guess to know that many among the audience are denying my words. However, no matter. The scientific community has always been a stage for reasoning, making inferences, and displaying evidence.

“Next, I will try my best to come up with a series of convincing objective facts and experimental results. I hope that everyone can concentrate and witness this new world that subverts modern human cognition.”

After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at a black-and-white image in the journal. “I’ll start talking from the source. This picture shows a photo of a black hole. By now, I’m sure everyone should know a lot about black holes.

“A black hole, to put it simply, is a very dense celestial body. Any matter, including light, that moves within a certain distance of the black hole would no longer be able to break away from its gravitational pull and will fall to the central singularity at the speed of light or faster. Meanwhile, we call this specific distance the event horizon of a black hole.

“It is important that you remember this ‘event horizon.’”

Flipping to the journal’s fourth page, Chen Yu continued, “Since any matter that moves within a black hole’s event horizon cannot escape being devoured by the black hole, here comes the problem. Where does the devoured information and energy of the engulfed matter go?

“The classical black hole theory that’s based on the theory of relativity tells us that the information of these matter has disappeared.

“Yet, quantum theory tells us that the basic quantum information of any matter cannot disappear.

“Therefore, these two theories form another contradiction when dealing with black holes, and this contradiction has caused many scientists to study it in the past century.”

After saying so, Chen Yu turned to the seventh page and pointed to an old man’s photo. “As a result, in 1972, an elderly man named Jacob Bekenstein inadvertently derived the black hole entropy equation. According to the equation, it is proven that the total amount of quantum information (entropy) that any finite space can hold is directly proportional to the surface area of this finite space. This is the famous Bekensteni bound.

“Afterward, a frightening discovery was made. Shouldn’t the unit used to measure the total amount of information in a finite space be volume? Why is it measured using surface area instead? For example, how much water a cup holds depends on its volume, not its surface area! This is common sense.

“Initially, Bekenstein thought that there was a mistake with the entropy equation. However, after conducting numerous calculations, he found that the equation can only be established when the unit of measurement used is surface area. The length, width, and height that are implicitly mapped in the so-called three-dimensional world don’t exist on the level of quantum information at all.

“In this way, in 1972, humans had inadvertently discovered the fact that the world might be a two-dimensional plane…”

[Crap…]

[Please cover the screen with ‘scary.’]

[I just looked into it on Baidu. It seems that this really is the case…]

[Why is it surface area?! Could the world really be two-dimensional?]

[The more we know, the more the world seems unreasonable to us.]

[I still don’t understand anything.]

[Without this formula, even if humans have absurd imaginations, they would never think that the world is 2D.]

[Just a formula isn’t enough to explain everything, right? Is there any other evidence?]

“Initially, the scientific community wasn’t convinced when faced with such a ridiculous result. After all, just one formula cannot prove anything.” Chen Yu continued flipping through the journal and found a photo of Stephen Hawking. “However, very quickly, Hawking published his famous Hawking radiation theory, which also confirms the validity of the Bekenstein bound.

“Due to this reason, in the physics world that ordinary people don’t know much about, many scientists have tacitly begun a research. Externally, politics and the media claim that these scientists are studying black holes. Internally, the bigwigs of the various nations know that these scientists are exposing an appalling truth, which is the two-dimensional nature of the world!

After saying so, Chen Yu paused slightly and organized the words in his mind. He then turned to the journal’s 80th page and continued, “In 1999, Gerard ‘t Hooft, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics, took the lead over the other scientist and produced outstanding results.

“Through using complete mathematical formulas, he proved that all material information that fell into the black hole was imprinted on the Hawking radiation. And before the radiation evaporates, this information is retained in a black hole’s event horizon in the form of a two-dimensional plane.

“In 2004, Hawking re-published the law of conservation of information. While this might not seem much to the outside world, it had created a tsunami-level sensation in the scientific community because it proves that the information and energy of matter swallowed by black holes cannot just disappear out of thin air.

“Hence…”

Straightening his back, Chen Yu looked at the camera and said, “Combining the law of conservation of information in 2004 and Gerard’s research in 1999, we have come to an absurd conclusion that we have no choice but to believe.

“That is, all matter swallowed and shredded by the powerful gravitational force of a black hole is turned into quantum information, which then becomes a two-dimensional plane that remains in the black hole’s event horizon.

“Therefore, if we look at a black hole’s event horizon from the outside, the absorbed matter would appear as two-dimensional in our eyes and remain on the black hole’s surface. However, if one were to stand inside the black hole, they would see that the absorbed matter is still in a three-dimensional state, and they are still falling toward the central singularity at the speed of light.

“One is two-dimensional, while the other is three-dimensional. The world can be completely different just because we observe it from different positions. However, between the two of them, the information that is transformed into a two-dimensional plane is the main body. The three-dimensional matter inside the black hole is nothing but an illusion! It is a three-dimensional illusion compiled based on two-dimensional information.

“Through this point, we can conclude that all three-dimensional space and matter must have corresponding two-dimensional information. Now, everyone, please open your minds, draw inferences from one another, and try to figure out where this two-dimensional information is located?”

Spreading his arms, Chen Yu pointed upward and said, “Yes. The answer is very simple—outside the universe.

“The edge of the universe has the same properties as the edge of a black hole. Its surface stores all the atomic information of every star, planet, individual, and element found in the tens of billions of galaxies.

“Meanwhile, this information is then used to construct a complex and contradictory three-dimensional world.

“In conclusion, the universe’s essence is two-dimensional.”

When Chen Yu finished speaking, the audience who understood his words were horrified, while those who didn’t understand him wore confused looks on their faces.

“Next, I will show evidence that the various countries are trying to block. No need to worry, though, as I am not afraid of getting banned.”
