Did the world end today?

Chapter 251 Always One Step Ahead

This time, no one questioned Lin Xu's decision.

The detection team, which escaped the blast thanks to his evacuation order, quickly approached after the aftershocks of the explosion dissipated, and the information they collected was rapidly transmitted back to the CEPC laboratory.

This information is more detailed and more "significant" than the information Wang Yifan obtained in Geneva.

Even using the simplest instruments, the gravitational constant in this area still fluctuated by 0.3% two minutes after the explosion.

This is a crucial clue.

This proves that the "explosion" of quantum spacetime foam is likely strongly correlated with "gravitational changes"!
Changes in gravity?

Lin Xu thought of the judgments made by the people there during the Starship Age.

Deimos was torn apart by a "wormhole," which is strongly correlated with the quantum spacetime bubble effect.

Is such a massive explosion also a kind of "wormhole effect"?
Lin Xu's brain was working at lightning speed.

In that instant, he felt that all the cutting-edge physics theories he had previously encountered were converging in some incredible way.

Wormholes, quantum spacetime foam, gravity, holographic duality, boundaries.
He remained silent in the meeting room, while the others busily tried to analyze the data they had gathered.

Just then, a muffled voice hidden in the chaotic conversation reached Lin Xu's ears.

"The explosion center appears to have Hawking radiation signatures."

Hawking radiation.

Lin Xu suddenly raised his head.

"I know how this explosion happened."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Dozens of eyes were fixed on him, and he explained in rapid succession:

"First of all, we don't know the principle behind the emergence of quantum spacetime bubbles yet. We only know that the annihilation of information entropy leads to the emergence of random quantum spacetime bubbles."

"This principle will be the key to our solution to the end times, but we are unlikely to make progress on it for the time being."

"Therefore, let's put that aside for now and just look at how the explosion happened."

"And the answer is..."

"What we have created is not a single quantum spacetime bubble."

After these words were spoken, someone instinctively wanted to speak, but was immediately stopped by the people around them.

Lin Xu continued:

"Quantum foam itself is not a 'wormhole'. It can only be called a wormhole when these bubbles form a 'channel' in a stable form."

"The collective collapse or merging of these micro-wormholes releases enormous energy, manifesting as a violent reorganization of spatial structures—the observed 'explosion'."

"And its energy source is related to the unitarity principle on the boundary in holographic duality theory."

“The apparent violation of the second law of thermodynamics, such as this explosion, is actually the transfer of energy to another dimension outside the holographic boundary through the connection between the inner and outer spacetime via wormholes. This is in line with the spacetime reconstruction described by the Hawking-Page phase transition.”

"In other words, quantum spacetime foam is indeed a high-dimensional channel."

"However, it is not stable."

When Lin Xu finally stated this conclusion, not only the other researchers in the conference room, but even he himself seemed to have gained some new "insights".

Why are "limiters" and "dimensional ascenders" based on the same technology?
The reason is simple: they all need to rely on a "stable" high-dimensional channel.

Why does this technology require a large particle collider as a prerequisite?

Because through the annihilation of information entropy formed during the collision of high-dimensional particles, humans can create high-dimensional channels!

This is indeed a crucial technology.

Now, Lin Xu is about to address the most crucial "directional issue" in this technology.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke:
"Therefore, if we want to create a stable quantum spacetime bubble cluster, what we need to do is solve the principle of bubble collapse."

"There are several possible reasons for the collapse of the bubble."

"First, quantum decoherence."

"Second, the energy is unstable."

"Third, driven by entropy increase."

"If we can solve these three problems, we may be able to solve the problem of channel instability."

“You should start with quantum decoherence, because this world is actually a world where the decoherence effect is weakened.”

"This is already very evident from the fact that entangled quantum mechanics fails to handle the randomness of collapse!" "You must verify this in this direction, eliminating all other interference, and verify it precisely in this direction!"

Daigo empowerment!

Although Lin Xu's words at this moment are only "speculations," it is clear that his speculations are entirely credible to the physicists present.

This is not wishful thinking.

This is the most reliable "logical deduction" made by a truly top-notch physicist based on limited information.

The way everyone looked at Lin Xu changed.

Perhaps it was from this moment that they truly realized that a butterfly will always be a butterfly.

No matter how fast humanity develops in this world, butterflies will always be one step ahead.

Butterflies are not useless; they are not simply "takers."
A seed had been planted in everyone's hearts, but Lin Xu slumped back in his chair, feeling utterly exhausted.

He knew that the world, as a "petty dish," had begun to get on the right track.

I planted the seeds when I entered in 2025, and this time, I'm fertilizing them.

Next time, I can add even more fertilizer.

"There are still 12 minutes left."

"Give me Jin Xiaochuan's research materials."

"Didn't he say the foundation was already laid? Maybe next time, I can bring you back a whole building."

His orders were carried out without fail.

Just half a minute later, the prepared materials were delivered to him.

Lin Xu focused intently on memorizing the material. He still found the purely mathematical theories quite difficult, but at least it was no longer the kind of rote memorization he had during the "era of confusion."

In less than five minutes, Lin Xu had already skimmed through the document.

At this moment, Ayana, who had already been delayed for almost an hour, was finally brought to Lin Xu.

She remained silent, her eyes not cold, but rather an empty indifference.

Lin Xu stood opposite her, looking directly into her eyes.

"Aishwarya?"

He called out, but Ayana did not respond.

"what's your name?"

Lin Xu continued to ask:

"Are you Aishwarya, Ayana, or someone else?"

no answer.

At this point, Lin Xu finally understood why Jiang Xingye said Ayana was "uncooperative".

Her behavior goes far beyond simply being uncooperative.
She clearly knew why these people wanted to see her, and she was expressing her noncooperation and resistance in her own way.

Are you waiting for Zhou Yue?

Lin Xu asked again.

However, Ayana on the other side still did not react.

Lin Xu frowned as he looked Ayana up and down.
-
Then, his gaze locked onto Ayana's fingers.

The next second, Lin Xu's expression changed, and he grabbed the other person's hand.

In the main world, he had held Aishwarya's hand before.

However, there are slight differences between the two.

These are very nimble hands.

Especially the fingers, which seem exceptionally flexible.

A bold idea suddenly popped into Lin Xu's mind.

He opened his mouth and said:
"You are not Ayana."

"You are Zhang Liming!!"
