Chapter 641 The Basic Principles of Time Transformation
——Time exists objectively.
——Time has asymmetry in the magic dimension.
The tip of the quill in Zheng Qing's hand was pointed at these two conclusions. He felt that there was an idea in his mind that could be improved a little bit, but it seemed to be stopped by a thin and tough membrane and could not emerge.
After all, he has only been in touch with the wizard world for more than a year. Although he has outstanding performance, his foundation is not very solid. The common sense familiar to many young wizards from aristocratic families is somewhat unfamiliar to him, so it is difficult to learn from other things and inspire inspiration.
Since he cannot integrate it, he can only find a "stone from another mountain".
Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.
The best stone that Zheng Qing thought of was Su Shijun's two-dimensional evolution experiment - projecting the phenomena of the high-dimensional world into the low-dimensional world, and then referring to the accumulated experience of the low-dimensional world to help understand the changes in the high-dimensional world - this experimental idea can actually be applied in many places.
Just like now.
While the pen tip was wandering around those two conclusions, a very appropriate "reference" appeared in Zheng Qing's mind - a movie. To be precise, it was a movie played on a computer using a player.
For people in the real world, movies are undoubtedly a two-dimensional world.
In this two-dimensional world, time exists objectively, and its existence is manifested as the progress bar on the player. In the movie's time and space range, everything is certain - from the beginning to the end of the movie, every frame of the picture, every dialogue, and every scene are certain - for the movie, time and space are very real existence, but the extension of different dimensions in different directions, and the essence is no different.
From this perspective, the two-dimensional world is indeed easier to understand the true meaning of the so-called "objective existence of time" than the high-dimensional world.
As for the asymmetry of time in the magic dimension, its performance is relatively obscure, but it is not difficult to find - for example, the passage of time in a movie has the characteristics of natural 'one-way movement'; the left and right sides of the player progress bar are naturally asymmetric; the past (under natural conditions) of a new movie is observable, and the future is unobservable; and so on.
Also, the 'time flow rate' experienced by each character in the movie is different. All time will develop around the 'most important' role, and the unimportant role sometimes even has less than one frame of the picture.
With this "stone", Zheng Qing rethinked the concept of "time conversion", and the situation became very clear. He just needed to drag the slider on the progress bar and drag the slider from the right to any time node he wanted to go to, and the time was reset.
Compared to movies, the mouse that drags the progress bar slider outside the screen is the power from the 'higher dimension'.
There is no mouse arrow in the real world lingering above the long river of time and space.
Therefore, if you want to perform a ‘time conversion’, the only power you can borrow is the power from the future, which is higher than the past.
"...Albert creatively solved the plasticity of time in "New Determination of Time" and understood by the perception of low-level wizards, the plasticity of time is reflected in the fact that it can be bent."
Master Baoyangzi stretched out his teaching stick and drew a thin long line in the void: "You can assume that this long line is the timeline that has been transformed... This line bent and then bent under the action of external forces... When its bending reaches a certain level, you will find that it forms a closed loop... Because time has the characteristic of 'one-way movement', after the closed loop appears, this line will continue to move forward in the initial direction..."
Zheng Qing stared at the straight line in the void that had been tied in the middle of the journey, a little stunning.
If you guess correctly, that "knot" is the reset timeline, which is independent of the normal timeline, but is attached to the timeline.
The point in Master Baoyangzi's hand pointed at the intersection of the "time knot" and the "time line", and slightly emphasized the tone: "This point is the "paradox point" mentioned by Master Bahzaville - in the traveling time reset, if a traveler returns to the past and kills his grandparents before his father is born, then the "paradox point" will take effect and disconnect the connection between the "chain" and the "time line".
This will cause the ‘time knot’ to escape from the timeline and float alone outside the timeline. In more common terms, this ‘time knot’ and the ‘people in the knot’ are exiled to be out of time and space and fall into the turbulence of time and space.
Of course, the ‘Grandparent Paradox’ is the simplest and easiest paradox among all ‘paradox points’. The reason for mentioning this concept is to warn you not to try to make any changes after entering the reset timeline. Because any change may cause the ‘time knot’ to be separated from the ‘time line’…and then lead to you to be completely lost in the turbulence of time and space.
The horror of being lost in the turbulence of time and space does not need to be explained more. You only need to know that even if the legendary wizard does not stare at you at the moment when the "paradox point" takes effect, it will be difficult to find your traces in a noisy signal."
Zheng Qing subconsciously looked up and looked at Lao Yao who was sitting behind the desk.
The reason why I chose to take such a highly dangerous course in Lao Yao’s office today is because Lao Yao is a real legendary wizard.
At this moment, ignoring the young wizard's slightly grateful gaze, the dean of Jiuyou Academy beautifully vomited a smoke ring, and a comfortable expression appeared on his face.
"These are the basic concepts. Let's make some simple inferences based on these concepts."
Bao Yangzi put away the teaching stick, looked at the two young wizards in front of him with a burning look, and his voice suddenly became vast and distant: "Bending time requires powerful magic, where does the magic come from?
From the asymmetry of the ‘time dimension’.
Under normal circumstances, magic power flows from high dimensions to low dimensions. However, the direction of the timeline is retrograde from low dimensions to high dimensions. This means that we only need to use magic to pry this significant asymmetry in the "time dimension" to bend the timeline with the powerful magic power from the future high dimensions.
The greater the curvature, the stronger the magic power required.
Powerful magic will make time accelerate very much.
Therefore, when a "time knot" is formed, an extremely powerful magic power surges around it. This magic power is both a barrier and a restraint.
This barrier can protect the time limit.
This magic power can accelerate the time flow rate within the time junction.
It is actually an illusion that you think you go back to the past and come to the present at ‘normal’ time. In fact, you have experienced everything about ‘reset’ at a very fast time flow rate.
In reality, when you go back to the past and slowly come to the present along the timeline, the original "present" only passed for a moment, or a shorter time.
Maybe one second ago, you disappeared in front of your companion, the next second, you appeared behind him, and in this second, you had experienced several days, months, or even years more than your companion.
On the premise that the time flow speed is accelerated, as long as you do not make any changes to the already closed timeline, you will not harm the "paradox point" and can safely avoid the Bakhzavel space-time storm.
In short, use magic to leverage the asymmetry in the ‘time dimension’ and thus bend the time line; because of a single direction, time will change with the curvature and return to the past from the future - this is the basic principle of time conversion."
