Volume 5: Eternity Chapter 3 Information Dissipation
Ning Yu'an tidied her hair a little. The hair dryer couldn't be used now, so she used a towel to wipe it bit by bit. The feeling of her hair sticking together was very uncomfortable.
She changed from a duck sitting position with one foot on top of the other thigh, which was more stable and felt more refreshing.
"You just said... you don't know if you are from Earth now. What's going on?"
Although Ai Bishui said this lightly, it was impossible for the listener not to ask a question, even though they were not very familiar with each other yet.
"Nothing happened. I was definitely a human when I was born, but now I am not sure..."
"What does this mean... I'll go get you a glass of water and you can talk slowly?"
Ning Yu'an wanted to sit up from the bed, but she saw that the other party seemed a little hesitant about whether to continue explaining.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk, but you probably haven't eaten or drunk anything for quite a while now... I'll get you something to drink first."
"It seems so, but people don't seem to need to eat anything when they die..."
Ning Yu'an smiled faintly, and her brain was working rapidly when she went to the living room to pour water.
How could this person be more confusing than Fang Cheng? And it seemed that she was absent-minded when she spoke, just like Fang Cheng, as if there was something else in her mind, and she was even more confused than him.
How to say it, it feels like a female version of Fang Cheng Pro Max. Although she only said a few words, she felt a very strong sense of déjà vu.
Since she said that they were college classmates, that meant they were in the same department, or both studied physics. That wouldn't be surprising... Ning Yu'an already had a strong stereotype of people who studied physics.
When she was carrying the water back, she passed by the bathroom door, and at that moment Fang Cheng shouted from inside.
"I'm done, can I go out now?"
"How come you wash so fast? This is not enough time to wash your hair."
"Isn't that the speed at which boys shower? I've already showered twice. Can I put on my clothes and go out now?"
"No! You have to bathe for at least half an hour and you are not allowed to come out within half an hour!"
"What else do I have to wash..."
When boys take a shower, they just put soap all over their body and then rinse it off. It doesn't really take too much time.
"Isn't there a large tub of water I left over? Can't you take a bath? A bubble bath is so comfortable."
Ning Yu'an felt Fang Cheng take a deep breath when he heard what she said, and she didn't know what had happened.
"But... that's what you soaked in..."
"What do you mean? Do you think the water I used to wash me is dirty or something? I rinsed myself outside before I went to soak my body in it. There's no dust in it. Feel free to soak in it. It will help you relax."
"Ah... It's not because it's dirty, it's... There's another reason..."
Ning Yu'an ignored him and went straight back to the bedroom.
When she went back, she saw another girl also tying her hair. When the cup of water was handed to her, she stretched out one hand to take it, and the curves of her whole body were still faintly visible under the cover of the big shirt.
“Do you know antiparticles?”
"Ah, what? I didn't hear that."
"In our universe, elementary particles are divided into positive particles and antiparticles. In our physical system, the masses and lifetimes of positive and antiparticles are exactly the same, but their quantum numbers are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign."
"Oh, I seem to have some impression of this. Fang Cheng mentioned something like antimatter to me... He said that it would explode after colliding with positive matter."
"It's not a collision, it's annihilation... The annihilation process will release energy, and the magnitude won't be particularly high by then. But that's not important. What I want to say is that I am now transformed from antimatter."
Ning Yu'an's brain crashed.
"Strictly speaking, all the leptons, quarks, and propagators that make up my body had the opposite electrical properties and various quantum numbers a few minutes ago, but after the conjugate transformation, they became who I am now."
"Although I don't really understand, but what does this have to do with aliens?"
"The problem is that I still have all my memories of being an antimatter man... Theoretically, due to entanglement, everything about antimatter should be the same as the matter it is entangled with, but my memories are different from before I died."
Ai Bishui paused when she got here, as if she was thinking about something.
"But I clearly feel that there are two different versions of memories in my brain. If the current me is a so-called antimatter person, my thoughts as an antimatter person should be continuous. Why do I have the memories of a positive matter person?"
"Maybe it's because you have two sets of brain structures..."
Ning Yu'an spoke to himself while picking his fingers.
“What do two sets of structures mean?”
"I think that when the brain stores memories, it doesn't write them directly somewhere like a hard drive, but stores them in a network by changing its own structure."
Ning Yu'an glanced at the other person, and her eyes seemed to be asking her to continue speaking.
"For example, the essence of learning something new is actually to establish a new neuronal circuit in the brain, and this circuit changes the overall energy, allowing us to associate new things with the memory when we recall it..."
"I see."
Ning Yu'an felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden interruption. After all, she was still thinking about what to say next, and this made her feel very unfulfilled.
"There should be a new supersymmetric structure, or a more 'advanced' antimatter with quantum numbers that do not exist in matter on Earth, which can still exist on Earth even if they maintain the symmetric state."
When it came to this, Ning Yu'an could no longer keep up.
"So this set of memory structures that are attached to the neural network and the network structure of positive matter are parallel. When recalling or associating, the memories that appear are also two parallel lines... That's why I have this strange ..."
"What image?"
"Some memories of me being observed by others. In other words, they are not people, but some existences that I cannot describe... cannot explain clearly. Not only do they exist outside my senses, but they can also directly enter my mind through my senses... I still don't know which one is real..."
As she spoke she curled up her legs and buried her face between her thighs.
"I can now be sure of one thing, that is, I am not the real culprit of all this."
"Ah? What's the culprit?"
"nothing."
