Chapter 153 Afterimage
Chapter 153 Afterimage
Maria, a student who had been closely watching the scene, finally couldn't bear the eerie sight.
She couldn't help but turn to Leonard beside her and ask him a question:
"Professor, is that... a quantum dying and disappearing?"
"No, son," Leonard explained, staring at the screen without turning his head.
"What disappears is not the quantum itself, but merely its projection in this dimension."
The enormous energy only remained there briefly before dissipating through pathways unobservable to us.
It didn't actually become zero... it just appeared to be infinitely close to zero on the instrument.
To Su Hao, Leonard and Maria's conversation seemed as distant and blurry as if separated by a thick curtain of water.
Just a moment ago, his vision seemed to have been violently impacted by a massive earthquake, and the whole world began to shake wildly and violently!
Whenever the quanta inside the resonator undergo that elusive collapse, a pattern that looks extremely familiar flashes across his retina like lightning.
The dot matrix collapsed, disappeared, and then reappeared in another location.
Just as that fluctuation was about to converge to zero and completely disappear—
thump.
Su Hao's heart skipped a beat!
That pattern is none other than...
It was during these past few months, through countless sleepless nights, that he painstakingly traced the Riemann Zeta function matrix in his mind...
Across the endless abyss of imaginary numbers, that lingering figure stares longingly at the other!
Although at this moment they are extremely cunningly disguised in the nauseatingly complex imaginary number field, wearing layer upon layer of physics.
But how terrifying was Su Hao's mind? He saw through the essence at a glance.
If he examines it thoroughly, peeling back the layers, he will surely be able to follow the clues and seize its true nature.
At this moment, Su Hao was absolutely certain of this.
That higher-dimensional being, once like a ghost, forever existing between "chance" and "necessity"...
Finally, in this cold physics laboratory, for the first time in front of this boy, it helplessly revealed its true colors.
"Huff... puff..."
Su Hao's breathing became heavy, like a bellows, and warm white vapor sprayed onto his protective mask.
His heart began to pound uncontrollably, and his blood surged and roared in his veins like boiling magma.
In that split second, the wildly swirling waveform on the monitor screen suddenly underwent another bizarre distortion.
In a very brief moment, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, the waveform perfectly overlapped with the matrix afterimage imprinted in Su Hao's mind, without even a tiny gap!
"Buzz—"
It was as if an extremely domineering and powerful electric current instantly struck down from the top of Su Hao's head, directly penetrating his limbs and bones, bringing a tingling numbness that made one's soul tremble.
The feeling was like countless violent charges were seeping into his body through his skin pores without any obstruction, completely igniting every cell in his body!
The chaotic gasps produced by the microwave frequency sweep shared the exact same life cycle as the mathematical afterimages that he couldn't explain even after thousands of frantic calculations in his mind!
At this moment, in Su Hao's eyes, physics and mathematics achieved a miraculous unity!
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely by some supreme power.
A second felt like an eternity.
In Su Hao's mind, the boundary between reality and illusion, consciousness and unconsciousness, began to melt away like ice and snow, eventually becoming completely blurred.
All the noise of the surrounding machines, the exclamations of the crowd, and the discussions all receded like a tide in that instant.
An absolute, deathly silence, like that of the deep sea, enveloped the surroundings, as if the entire universe had been completely emptied out at that moment...
He was left all alone, standing in a white robe as white as snow in another higher-dimensional space, looking down at the nascent form of truth.
Snapped.
There were no warning signs whatsoever.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Su Hao seemed to be driven by some divine will...
He took a step forward uncontrollably, and instinctively reached out and grabbed the black pen used for recording data next to the control panel!
He must write it down!
We have to be quick!
His intuition was screaming an alarm:
If we don't record it now, immediately, right away, it seems that all of this will vanish into the dust of the universe in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace!
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? You can't touch these things here, damn it!"
The researcher who was standing by and supervising was terrified when he saw this, and immediately rushed forward to try to stop it.
It's important to understand that damaging even one of these parameters could result in immeasurable losses.
However, Su Hao's actions at this moment were clearly much faster than those of the poor researcher.
"Whoosh—"
The black ink flowed from the pen tip with an extremely domineering and wild momentum...
It glides smoothly across the huge, cold, radiation-proof glass next to the main control panel, leaving a highly dynamic starting line.
"Su Hao?"
Leonard was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously called out his name.
But after just one glance at the first three characters that appeared on the glass, Leonard's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.
He immediately realized that Su Hao in front of him had entered that selfless state that countless geniuses dream of but can never reach in their entire lives!
Nothing around him could disturb him in the slightest!
"The change in phase..."
"The collapse before the critical zero point..."
"The collapse of quantum mechanics..."
With his back to everyone, Su Hao wrote with great flourish.
His voice wasn't loud, and it even trembled slightly from excessive excitement.
Then, he began muttering to himself as if possessed, as if he were having a cross-dimensional dialogue with some being in a higher dimension:
"Wrong, all wrong... It wasn't disappearing at all..."
Snapped.
The pen tip pressed heavily on the glass, spreading a thick blot of ink.
"It's rotating!"
Swish swish swish swish—!!
The sound of the pen tip scraping against the glass was like a torrential downpour.
In the blink of an eye, the once pristine and transparent entire glass wall of the laboratory...
It was completely covered by dense, celestial-like numbers and extremely distorted geometric shapes, leaving not a single gap!
The entire audience was completely stunned!
