Chapter 340 The End of Technology is Theology



Soon, Ron found the Goddess of the Magic Network using his extra memories.

In this strange world, Ron also remembered his promise to the Goddess of the Magic Network. Oh well, he might as well remember it; he'd probably forget it in reality anyway. He'd ignore it; the maid's matter was more important.

Arrive at the base of the giant rock where the Goddess of the Net sits.

Upon arriving, Ron led Vivian to pay homage to the Goddess of the Magic Network.

The ceremony is over.

Ron secretly observed the Goddess of the Magic Network.

It seems that God has no intention of paying attention to Ron.

Ron didn't care; not all gods are as unconventional as the God of Water.

Under the mortal form of the goddess of magic, in front of the god, Ron further educated his maid.

I refuse to believe it. In the face of the mortal incarnation of the God of Laws... surely this won't turn out as prophesied!

After the two finished their greetings, Ron observed the maid's expression.

Sure enough, Vivian's calm expression was gone.

Even one's own maid might not know something.

Haha! e(*′???`)3? Great, the plan works.

Meanwhile, Ron continued, "Once upon a time, a great man once said: On the scale of the stars, beyond an immeasurably vast distance, time loses its meaning..."

At spatial scales of countless light-years, the relative time between two celestial bodies becomes difficult to quantify.

To some extent, it can be concluded that there is no time in the starry sky. Of course, this is a technical argument and is somewhat controversial; Ron also explained the differences between the elemental world and the world without magic.

Everything is for reference only and should not be copied verbatim. Avoid making mistakes similar to those made with empiricism.

Ron then went on to discuss the connections between them.

"Under certain circumstances, time becomes meaningless in the face of the scale of the stars. So, at such a great distance, everything on this side seems to be predetermined. Thus, prophecy, astrology, destiny, and so on have a technical basis."

For example, time slows down, even to the point of almost stopping, near a black hole.

The starry sky is so magical. And then there's the saying that blind fortune tellers are more accurate. Ron believes it's because true blind fortune telling, though unable to see the eyes of things, can see a certain degree of the future…

"However, just like the duality of light and the cat of the eagle, the future also has a superposition state. The future is uncertain; once observed, the future has already changed..."

"..."

This is the theoretical basis for related fates, etc. Ron also talked about the general development of the world without magic.

"The progress of human cognition is a process of constantly breaking conventions. From the geocentric model to the heliocentric model, two objects of different masses could fall to the ground at the same time. Then came mechanics, which seemed to explain everything in the world, but then came relativity..."

Vivian's training is primarily related to the time system of the elemental world.

Ron emphasized the relativity of spacetime:

"Gravity itself doesn't exist. The essence of gravity is the difference in the curvature of spacetime, and the principle of time dilation. After the constancy of the speed of light was verified, if a luminous device is on a spaceship and a luminous body is on a star, the light from the spaceship and the light from the star appear at the same time, but time dilation occurs..."

"To put it simply, the distance light travels includes the rotation of celestial bodies. Distance equals speed multiplied by time. Since the speed of light remains constant, but the distance traveled changes, then time also changes..."

"There are also some simple relative theories, such as the inside of the car being stationary and the outside being in motion."

"When facing the starry sky, supermassive celestial bodies can cause spacetime to warp, resulting in spacetime curvature and the essence of gravity. In reality, rocks do not cause enough spacetime curvature, so they do not have obvious gravity, but the gravity of celestial bodies is explained."

"What is spacetime curvature? If light passes by a supermassive celestial body on its journey, what happens to the light? The answer is: the light takes a detour."

"The light that takes a detour, even if the speed of light remains constant, changes the path and the time, which is another example of the time dilation principle."

"After spacetime curvature appears, mass tilts to one side, as naturally as water flowing downhill. Utilizing this principle, a hypothesis for future technology has emerged: could a warp-spacecraft reach the speed of light...?"

"Using the understanding of spacetime curvature, the reason why time slows down or even stops near a black hole is because the spacetime curvature there is extremely large."

"..."

After explaining the theory of relativity, Ron gave Vivian a mathematical derivation of relativity on the spot.

It's essentially vector summation, and vectors have units of time...

Ron had only learned about mathematical reasoning out of interest in his previous life, and had forgotten most of it.

Fortunately, in the elemental world, Ron's soul was nurtured and even underwent a qualitative change. With such powerful soul computing power, Ron was still able to deduce the formula process.

After a while.

After finishing her discussion of relativity, Vivian looked completely bewildered. Well, she had achieved her goal.

But that's not all there is to the class.

"Vivian, did you know that in one dimension, the highest award in technology was given to quantum entanglement? What does that mean?"

Well, it was just a teacher's question, Ron didn't expect Vivian to answer it, and continued:

"At a distance of countless light-years, two related quantum energies can transmit information across an almost infinite distance. Thus, the speed of light remains constant, time dilates... These theories are insufficient to explain this phenomenon."

"Just like the breakthrough from geocentrism to heliocentrism, is the speed of light truly constant? Or can relativity answer everything? Classical mechanics was refuted by relativity, and after relativity came quantum entanglement..."

"To put it another way, from now on, the ability to understand each other intuitively has a certain degree of technical basis. To elaborate further, a person with a terminal illness can ultimately overcome the disease because of their unwavering belief. The pathology may be difficult to explain, but what about quantum entanglement... With belief and perseverance, anything is possible."

"Another hypothesis is that the world is a complete entity, like two sides of a CD. One quantum is on one side, and the other is on the other side. If one moves, it means that the other also moves!"

"If people only see one side of a CD, like frogs in a well, how can they know the wonders of the truth in the world!"

"The confirmation of quantum entanglement seems to suggest that the ultimate goal of technology is theology!"

"In this world, there is always a force that has shrouded space in illusion, and also time in illusion..."

"Are all these things in the world contradictory? No, they aren't. It's all about the philosophy of contradiction analysis. If you grasp the truth, know your destiny but don't accept it, then anything is possible!"

"..."

At this point, Ron had finally finished speaking.

Vivian was brought here in case of divine detection. With the Goddess of the Magic Net by his side, Ron didn't need to worry about the other gods.

A long silence followed.

Finally, finally, Vivian's expression showed a hint of defeat.

With a slight sigh, the maid relinquished one of her obsessions, in exchange for a possibility in her destiny.

After a long while, Vivian finally leaned on Ron's shoulder, smiling but also dejected, and said, "Young Master, you won, the fourth timeout..."

Upon hearing this, Ron gently stroked his maid's head to comfort her, while also letting out a soft sigh, "Yay! At least Vivian isn't planning on doing anything foolish."

However, Ron thought of something else.

Fourth time!

So there really is a third timeline!

Ron suddenly said gently, "Vivian, you really don't need to explain anything now. There's no need to talk about the future too much. I know everything. We can discuss it together again when we don't have to pay too high a price, okay?"

“Yes, young master, I’ll listen to you,” Vivian said like a kitten. To Ron, she was once again the obedient maid she used to be.

That's good. Vivian won't insist on explaining everything like before. Ron did ask her to explain in the underground ruins, but Vivian was weak and pleading then, and Ron softened his heart...

Back then, the disobedient maid...

Listen, listen, it's good that you know how to listen. Maybe you can really find loopholes in the laws of the mystical side in the future!

Just wait, there's no rush!

Ron then said to Vivian, "Just tell me some trivial things, and answer one question: Can you predict the future?"

“No!” Vivian said.

Ron was relieved to receive an affirmative answer; he had been truly afraid that there were beings in the world whose existence could be predicted even by the gods.

In fact, from Vivian's perspective, the timeline here, until she entered a certain range of the Goddess of the Magic Network, was all blurry and unknowable.

Trying to recall all this blurry memory only brings endless, piercing pain to the soul, just as mortals cannot see the true form of a deity.

The idealistic divine body and the illusory realm seem to have some technical basis. Of course, Ron doesn't understand much about theology, and there are still too many unknowns in the world.

Now that the issue of Vivian's foolish actions has been resolved, Ron and Vivian should leave.

He and Vivian bowed once again to the mortal form of the Goddess of the Magic Network.

I wanted to leave, but suddenly a sharp pain shot through my soul.

The goddess of magic, with her divine eyes that had been fixed on the illusory realm, looked over—a divine gaze…
