Chapter 639 Characteristics of Time

"Before you explain the basic principles of time conversion, you must first understand what time is."

The old wizard with gray beard bent and gently tapped the pocket watch floating in front of him. Invisible spell light flashed, and dials of different sizes rose from the pocket watch, drifting in all directions, hanging around the two young wizards, crowded next to each other, filling every gap in Zheng Qing's vision in a moment.

The time on each dial is different. The crackling sounds of the second hand beating intertwined, and there is a touch of order in the chaos, making people feel like standing on the beach and listening to the rising and falling sea water.

Time is like water, it is indeed a proper description.

This thought flashed through Zheng Qing's heart.

Master BaoYozi's slightly monotonous voice rang again in his ears: "Time is both a concept of a dimension, a widely used measure, and one of the basic rules for the effectiveness of many magic.

The various magic theories that are popular in the wizard world now—whether they are classical mystical theory, information unified theory, or the most widely influenced dimensional theory—have their own paths to explain the concept of "time". Each path is very profound and can guide you to go a long way.

What I tell you today is not a simple one.

In order to allow you to deeply understand the true meaning of time in the shortest time, our class will involve many cross-theory contents. You only need to understand the part taught in the classroom. For deeper parts, I do not recommend that you study more related concepts before you analyze the world to a certain extent.

This is why I don’t agree with the concept of time conversion now.

In theory, with the level of magic knowledge you have, it is not the best time for you to come into contact with this type of advanced magic. But just in case, if you accidentally get lost in a certain period of time and want to stay awake and rational enough, you must have enough understanding of the concept of time, so... cough."

Perhaps realizing that his opening remark was a bit long-winded, he coughed softly, rubbed his fingers with his beard gently, and clicked, and the buzzing needles on the surrounding dial stopped.

The whole world seemed to be in stagnation at this moment.

"Have you felt any changes?" The old man looked at the two young wizards with inquiring eyes.

Zheng Qing frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head honestly: "No... except for the needle stop."

Jiang Yu looked at Zheng Qing in surprise, raised his hand in a regular manner, and retorted: "But I just saw those watch needles that didn't stop?"

Huo Yoko pinched her beard with satisfaction.

"This is the first thing I want to tell you about time." The old man snapped his fingers. As Zheng Qing saw, the thin needles on the dial around him moved at a constant speed again: "Time is an objective existence limited by the observer's cognitive state. This world is moving forward in time, not time.

What does it mean?

Fatalists believe that time has no past, the difference between present and future, and the flow of the long river of time is an illusion, it just stops there, so that everyone can observe its existence. If according to this theory, time and space should be no different, and they are both "fixed" - this view will break the perception of the passage of time for many people.

Interestingly, in one aspect, dimensionalism supports this result of fatalism.

In the eyes of dimensional wizards, time is a concept that is limited by dimensions and ranks. As long as your rank is high enough and the dimensions that can be perceived are rich enough, then time is an optional existence. Whether it exists or does not exist depends on whether you need it. Just like when cooking, do you need to add salt.

If you add or not, the salt is there.

In the eyes of a true wizard, time will not disappear or flow, there is no past or future, they are fixed from beginning to end. Because they are unchanged, they can be finely divided into smaller scales to describe all concepts within their coverage.

This is also the basis for many wizards nowadays that time can measure everything…”

A teacup floated in front of the old man Baoyangzi, interrupting his endless explanation. The old man looked at the desk in confusion, but saw the dean of Jiuyou Academy with a smile on his hands:

"I've talked so much about drinking tea, drinking tea... It's a little too profound for these children. Take a break and let them slow down."

Zheng Qingmu looked up at the expressions of the two old wizards with a face, lowered his head, directed his shorthand quill, and frantically recorded every word that Mr. Bao Yangzi said, intending to ask Dr. Xiao later.

Jiang Yu next to him is not much better than him.

Hu Yangzi frowned, grabbed the teacup, drank it in one sip, smacked his lips, and concluded: "In short, please remember, the first characteristic of time is its objective existence...and the second characteristic..."

The old wizard pinched the teacup in his hand and smashed it hard on the ground.

Bang!

The crisp sound of the teacup was frightened by the two young wizards. Zheng Qing showed a nervous expression on his face, thinking that his stupidity had exhausted the old man's patience.

"Did you see this teacup?"

Bao Yangzi pointed to the fragments on the ground, concise and concise: "Under normal circumstances, the flow of time is like this - the teacup goes from complete to thin - the complete teacup is in the past, the falling teacup is in the present, and the broken teacup is in the future.

Here, we will discuss another important concept, the second law of magic...Who will describe this concept?"

The two young wizards raised their hands almost at the same time.

Zheng Qing secretly felt fortunate that the first time he heard about this concept was when he came to school early during the Spring Festival last year. When completing the mission of the Gini Cabin, Xiao Xiao and Senior Colma discussed several laws of magic with Senior Colma, because later, the magic circle of the advanced wizard of Colma was built on this law, which left a very deep impression on him.

"The second theorem of magic, that is, magic cannot spontaneously transfer from low-dimensional individuals to high-dimensional individuals..." After Zheng Qing obtained permission, he answered without thinking, but just after saying the first sentence, he was interrupted by a rough gesture by the old man.

"Okay, that's all you need to do here."

Bao Yangzi stopped the boy from continuing to recite the letter, and reached out to touch it in front of him, and three lines of clear big words immediately appeared in the void:

——Magic power cannot be spontaneously transferred from low-dimensional individuals to high-dimensional individuals (normal magic power falls from high-dimensional to low-dimensional)

——Time cannot spontaneously turn from the future to the past (Under normal circumstances, time is from the past to the future)

——The world moves from order to disorder
