Chapter 622: Chapter 396: The Old Thousand-Layer Cake_2
This person even utilized Harrison Clark’s Infinite Genes Information Theory, considering it further evidence in the field of quantum programming.
And like a TED talk, he even conducted several psychological experiments on the spot.
The experiment was a complete success, and he accurately predicted the train of thought of most audience members.
He ultimately concluded that, at the current pace of development in computer theory, by the time humans have a sufficiently advanced quantum information network and reach a certain stage of programming concepts in a thousand years, they would break through the essence of thought and evolution through quantum calculations and begin to communicate with higher civilizations, or enter the struggle depicted in the movie The Matrix.
Harrison Clark remained silent with a smile.
The theory sounded impeccable, but it was actually useless.
In the eight timelines he experienced, apart from material and energy-based sciences, the fastest human progress was in artificial intelligence.
It took seven timelines to go from the scattered and ordinary central brain to the First Generation of Star.
Then this time, the Second Generation of Star evolved, with countless times more computing power.
But he still hasn’t seen the day when human brains can be decoded using programming.
If it were possible, he would like that too—quantum immortality, how cool does that sound?
Who doesn’t want to live forever?
If someone could break through human boundaries first, it would definitely be him.
Well, it might also be the exceptionally evolved mother of his child.
The second speaker was a renowned physicist, a Nobel Prize winner from a decade ago.
After he went on stage, he started from his own field of expertise, focusing on analyzing some rare physical phenomena that ordinary people could not know about.
His theory was completely different from the AI expert’s.
He also believed that aliens existed in the universe and that they had visited Earth in ancient times.
However, human growth was not disrupted nor aided by aliens.
He listed many pieces of evidence.
Harrison Clark found it interesting because some of the evidence provided by the physicist was considered “rumors” that had been repeatedly debunked by ordinary people.
Clark had not expected those rumors to be true.
The physicist believed that aliens were “observers” lurking in the universe, responsible for maintaining cosmic order and protecting nascent civilizations.
As he heard this, Harrison Clark almost laughed out loud.
I really believed in your evil.
If the Compound-Eyed Observer were a kind observer, he could laugh even in his sleep.
But he didn’t end up laughing.
Although the physicist’s conclusion was a bit off, the process of reasoning and calculation was very convincing.
He accurately calculated that alien civilizations had visited Earth in 1019 and around 2019.
Although the physicist seemed unsure when presenting his conclusion, Mr. Clark was extremely surprised.
According to Clark’s calculations, the Compound-Eyed Observer indeed visited Earth sometime between the 11th and 20th centuries.
Assuming the patrol route of the Spherical Battleship is a two-way line.
The straight-line distance between Earth and the Galactic Center is about 27,000 light-years.
The radius of the Milky Way Galaxy is around 80,000 light-years, with the distribution density of stars decreasing the farther out you go.
Earth is relatively close to the Galactic Center.
Based on the information gathered from the colony, it took the Spherical Battleship and Prism Ship Fleet 500 years to reach Earth from the Galactic Center.
It takes the Spherical Battleship two thousand years to complete one patrol round.
If it is a two-way line, it passes a certain point twice with a thousand-year interval.
So if the Compound-Eyed Observer’s patrol route is a folding line, Earth should be at the midpoint of the patrol route.
And the Compound-Eyed Observer only patrols high-density areas within 50,000 light-years of the Galactic Center.
As for the low-density areas beyond 50,000 light-years from the Galactic Center, the Compound-Eyed Observer may have only deployed small, intelligent units similar to the Dragonfly Fighter.
The Spherical Battleship should have passed the Solar System twice around the years 1000 and 2000, which is in line with the physicist’s “pop science” calculation results.
In addition, the Solar System Barrier arrived in the Solar System in the 2500s.
Here is a paradox.
In 2000, the level of human technology was definitely much higher than in 1977 when Voyager was launched.
But at that time, the Compound-Eyed Observer did not decide to exterminate humanity, which seems unreasonable on the surface.
Assuming that the Compound-Eyed Observer’s patrol route is a circular loop, Earth should be at some point in the loop.
There are two possibilities: the Spherical Battleship previously passed Earth twice around 1000 AD and 1000 BC (when the Solar System was in the latter half of the loop) and around the year 2000 and the first year AD (when the Solar System was in the front half of the loop).
Clark initially thought that both the folding line patrol and circular patrol were possible, but now he believes that the folding line is more likely.
In 2019, when the Compound-Eyed Observer passed by Earth, it may not have decided to take extreme measures, probably doing some “insignificant things” and planning to come back in a thousand years to check the situation.
Unfortunately, at that time, Clark had not yet become a Galactic Human, and the connection between his brain and “cosmic wisdom” was not strong, otherwise, he would have likely discovered some clues last year and given himself the most accurate conclusion.
Why did the Compound-Eyed Observer change its mind in 2500?
Of course, it was because the order to destroy Earth’s civilization did not come from within the Compound-Eyed Observer, but from a higher civilization that created the Electronic Black Hole and Solar System Barrier.
Although there are still many questionable aspects of the time points estimated by Clark, it is worth further consideration.
