Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 145: Heresy (Part 1)
Subtitle of this chapter: Let’s reset our SAN value!
"Mr. Weizmann, I'm very sorry for what happened just now. Please wipe your face." Our Master Yuan handed over a towel with a smile.
Chaim Weizmann, who already had some psychological trauma, shrank back in fear. After a long while, he took the towel tremblingly and stammered his thanks.
"You're welcome." Yuan Yan suddenly showed her six snow-white teeth and said amiably: "Mr. Weizmann, do you believe it now? If you still don't believe it, I can..."
In fact, he only had one "Proficiency in Languages" card left, but Weizmann didn't know that.
The poor little white mouse shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no! Mr. Yuan, I believe it, I completely believe it!"
Master Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction: "Mr. Weizmann, you are indeed a scientist like me. The courage to accept facts, even if the facts violate your own judgment, is the most valuable quality of scientists. I admire you very much!"
Upon hearing this, Weizmann couldn't help but feel a little moved and said, "I... can only say thank you..."
Yuan Yan immediately said politely: "Mr. Weizmann, you're welcome."
"Mr. Yuan, I have a question." The great magician who had been smoking his pipe for a long time suddenly asked.
The Grey Knight turned to him and said, "Ask me, Mr. Einstein. I will tell you if I can."
Einstein nodded and said, "Okay. What I want to ask is why you don't make this 'magic' known to the world?"
"IT IS A GOOD QUESTION!"
“Snap!”
Our Master Yuan lit his cigar as usual and finally started to really fool people.
He blew out his first puff of smoke and asked his first question: "Mr. Einstein, have you read my book Radiation?"
Einstein was stunned for a moment, but he still answered: "I've read it and I really like it. I think it's a work that's ahead of its time, although I don't think the market prospects will be very good, after all, it's too ahead of its time."
Yuan Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be a critic who understands the literary market so well. So here comes the question, if, I mean if you find that your theory of relativity can enable people to create weapons that destroy human civilization like the one in Fallout, will you still publish it?"
"This..." Einstein pondered for a long time before saying with difficulty: "I don't think I will publish it."
"Mr. Einstein, you are a good person." Master Yuan gave him a good person card, "But we are not bad people either, so we made the same choice as you and decided to hide this fact from the world."
Weizmann couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Yuan, is your magic powerful enough to destroy all of human civilization?"
"No, it's not that powerful." Yuan Yanshu said calmly, "But our magic will indeed destroy human civilization. Well... to be more precise, it will strangle our current technological civilization in the cradle."
"You don't understand?" He glanced at the two people's puzzled faces, sighed and said: "Well, let's start from the beginning..."
Our Master Yuan folded his right hand across his chest, with his left hand behind him, and bowed, saying, "First of all, please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am the acting director of the North American branch of the SCP Foundation."
"Oh, the SCP Foundation is... Please don't show such an expression. I also know that the "Exotic Object Containment Procedure" is indeed a very strange and confusing name, but this is not decided by me."
"Actually, the history of our SCP Foundation can be traced back to the Age of Barbarism. According to you Jews, that was the time when Adam and Eve were just expelled from the Garden of Eden..."
He once again talked about the "alternative history" in which "foreign beings" such as "gods" and "devils" coexisted with humans in ancient times, and did not leave out the "Old Ones" who were the masterminds behind all this.
The magic these two witnessed was the "gift" bestowed by the "Old Ones" on both "aliens" and humans.
The SCP Foundation is a mysterious organization hidden behind the scenes of history that has protected human civilization for tens of thousands of years.
After saying this, Yuan Yan suddenly picked up the glass and took a sip of whiskey, giving the two scientists some time to think.
Later generations of radicals swore that most of the great scientists in history were believers. For example, Newton joined a seminary and spent a lot of time studying "theology" in his life.
In fact, whether by the standards of the seventeenth century or the twenty-first century, he is clearly a heretic.
Newton, an unrepentant heretic, almost failed to enter Cambridge University for graduate studies because of his faith. You should know that at that time, graduate students at Trinity College, Cambridge University had to be officially appointed priests of the Anglican Church.
He adopted a delaying tactic and did not become a priest until he graduated. However, he was later appointed as a professor of mathematics at Trinity College, so this elder brother wrote a letter directly to the king, and Charles II immediately made an exception for him. So Newton never compromised with the Anglican Church until his death.
The "theology" Newton studied was basically alchemy, which was a blasphemous practice. He also found faults in the Bible. According to his research, the end of the world will not come until at least 2050, which also refuted the faces of many charlatans who claimed that the end of the world was coming.
His protracted debate with Leibniz, in addition to arguing about who invented calculus, was also a debate between Newton's "mechanical cosmology" and Leibniz's "animism."
Speaking of Einstein, there is a sentence of his that is often quoted by radicals, that is, "Science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind." This is used to promote him as the Lamb of God.
He may have said this, but he was more blunt when he spoke privately about religion in a German letter to the Jewish philosopher Eric Gutkin on January 3, 1954: "The term 'God' is to me just a term and a product of human weakness, while the Bible is a collection of excellent but primitive legends, which are quite childish."
He died in 1955, so this is what he really thought about religion in his later years.
Fortunately for Gay, the letter was not put up for auction in London until 2008, allowing the world to know Einstein's true views on religion.
In fact, extremely smart guys like Newton and Einstein would naturally not want to offend the general public for insignificant religious beliefs. After all, the religious forces were too powerful in the era they lived in.
Therefore, they can achieve this and live up to their heretical identity of "atheists".
Then the "Old Ones Theory" that our Master Yuan came up with is actually prepared for the smartest group of "heretics" in this world !
