There is a way of profit, so Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom finally reluctantly accepted Henry's polygamy.

The marriage is settled, but there is no expectation that it will give the British royal family a huge betrothal gift.

The prevailing view in the West is that marriage is a matter of two people, why do you want to give a bride a gift to the woman, and the other party is not something to buy or sell. If the man gives a dowry gift, then the woman marrying a daughter is like selling it. In traditional North American families, the wedding expenses of marrying a daughter are all borne by the girl’s father, and the man just pays for it courteously. Henry naturally wanted to "go to the village and do what the customs do", so he didn't even talk about the bride price with the British royal family. However, Henry took the initiative to hold the wedding, and he wanted to take care of everything and hand it over to him. After all, he was not only married to Princess Ulysses.

...

At the end of June.

One of the greatest modern physicists, Stephen William Hawking, was going to give a lecture at Cambridge University. Henry heard the words and took Princess Ulysses to participate.

As we all know, Hawking suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lugaray's disease) at the age of 21, paralyzed all over, unable to speak. The only place he can move is a pair of eyes and 3 fingers. There is no doubt that Hawking is a ill-fated super genius! He is a "national treasure" talent in the UK, recognized as the "smartest brain" in the world, and has the same IQ as Einstein!

Henry has read "A Brief History of Time" written by Hawking, and has also understood the theories he put forward! His main research fields are cosmology and black holes, and he proved the singularity theorem of general relativity and the black hole area theorem, proposed the black hole evaporation theory and the boundaryless Hawking universe model, and unified the two basic theories of physics in the 20th century— —The theory of relativity created by Einstein and the quantum mechanics created by Planck have taken an important step, and he is considered to be one of the greatest scientists after Newton and Einstein!

Henry has a keen interest in the universe! Therefore, for scientists like Hawking, Henry might as well meet him if he has time!

In addition to being a scientist, Hawking has another identity-"Prophecy Emperor"! From the "Earth Destruction Theory" to "Aliens are not easy to mess with", from "The brain can exist independently of the human body" to "Artificial intelligence will eventually surpass humans", this "prophecy emperor" always shocks the world.

However, these things are very appetizing to Henry.

In "The Destruction of the Earth", Hawking believes that wars, depletion of resources, overpopulation, etc. are all threats that are expanding, and even Hawking gave a clear time-the destruction of the earth within 1,000 years. Therefore, he believes that mankind cannot "put all the eggs in one basket" and cannot bet on a planet. The only chance for human society to escape from future disasters is not in the earth, but in space! And this coincides with Henry's idea!

"Prophecy Emperor" Hawking even categorically affirmed the existence of aliens. Just imagine that the universe is so big that one earth can give birth to intelligent life, but can't other planets give birth to intelligent life? The universe has a very large base of celestial bodies. On this base, it is impossible that there is no alien life! Hawking warned humans that if you "unexpectedly" encounter aliens in space, it is best to "not talk to aliens", otherwise the consequences may be quite serious, because... "Aliens are not easy to provoke ".

A scientist named Fulgaon used a large amount of data about the mass, brightness and location of stars in the Milky Way to develop a set of computer programs to simulate the operation of various planetary systems. Although it is impossible to determine the exact number of planets in the Milky Way, the data on planets outside the solar system that have been discovered so far provide an important basis for Fukuoka's research. After that, he used the program to simulate the conditions required for a planetary system to nurture life and civilization. Through simulation, it is found that the number of possible life civilizations in the Milky Way will be very large, about 30,000 to 40,000.

In these civilizations, most of them are simple bacterial life states, about 2,000 are in higher life states, and among them, less than a few hundred extraterrestrial life have wisdom!

However, so far, mankind has not discovered the existence of any life civilization outside of the earth. But who would dare to deny that there is no alien civilization? Henry is also convinced that there must be other life civilizations in the universe, and mankind will find them one day!

In the midsummer of London, the weather is extremely hot.

Cambridge University is located in the town of Cambridge, England. There is a small river called Jian River in the local area. This meandering small river has willows and weeping silks and lush grass on both sides. There are many exquisitely designed and beautiful bridges on the river, among which is the mathematical bridge. , Grey Bridge and Bridge of Sighs are the most famous. The classic buildings wandering along the banks of the Jian River are all admired. Tall and exquisite school buildings, solemn churches and red brick houses covered with green vines stand among the green trees and red flowers in the city. The verdant colors are lush and ancient.

Henry and Princess Ulysses rowed on a small wooden boat, pounded for excursions, drifting on the Jian River to enjoy the view of Cambridge University along the river, and admire the world-famous atmosphere of the back gardens of Cambridge colleges. The beautiful scenery is like weaving and the scenery is infinite.

After disembarking, the two walked arm in arm in Cambridge University. Few people knew about Henry's new look, and Princess Ulysses wore black sunglasses and a white bow sun hat, so no one recognized them. At this moment, many students and physics scholars have rushed to Cambridge University to listen to Hawking's speech.

Ten minutes later, Henry and Princess Ulysses arrived at the School of Physical Sciences at Cambridge University.

In a very large classroom, Hawking was as thin as a wood, his head tilted, and he looked a little bit like "barking his teeth." He was sitting in a special wheelchair with a computer in front of him, and he could not speak. Due to the torment of the illness, he lost his language function and could only give a speech to everyone through a computer voice synthesizer.

At this moment, the speech begins...

"The journey of time is theoretically feasible," Hawking said on the podium at this time. "I believe that humans can open the door to the past and a shortcut to the future! I think there are at least three feasible in theory. Time travel way!"

"The first way is a wormhole! For physicists, the time tunnel may be a wormhole. Wormholes are all around us, but they are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye. All things in the universe will have small holes or cracks. This basic law The same applies to time. Time also has tiny cracks and voids. The voids smaller than molecules and atoms are called'quantum foam', and wormholes exist in the'quantum foam'."

"The second way is a black hole! Time is like a river, with different flow rates in different sections, and this is the key to achieving the journey to the future. According to Einstein's theory, time will change in some places. Pass more slowly, and in other places it will pass faster. When the spacecraft accelerates in space, for the spacecraft’s astronauts, the passage of time will slow down. A black hole is a natural time machine. , It can reduce the passage of time. If humans perform a 5-year mission in a super-large black hole, when they return to Earth, they will find that 10 years have passed..."

"The third way is to fly at the speed of light! If a spacecraft can be built at a speed close to the speed of light, then the spacecraft will inevitably slow down the time in the cabin because it cannot violate the law of the fastest speed of light. Astronauts fly in this way. One week, 100 years have passed on the earth, thus realizing the journey to the future."

Hawking's words were inexplicably exciting, and the audience applauded.

At this time, the synthesized voice of Hawking’s computer rang again: "However, you must not use the time machine to go back in time, because this will violate basic causality! For example, if you go back to the past, then your It may not be possible for your parents or even yourself to exist, because two you are not allowed to exist in one time and space!"

Henry heard this ~lightnovelpub.net~ and his body was shocked. Don’t you just travel back to the past through time and space? Doesn't this prove the feasibility of time travel? Moreover, my parents and myself no longer exist in the previous life... It seems that I fell into a pit in my previous life... and it was the wormhole!

However, there will not be a second chance of such a small chance. As for the three methods mentioned by Hawking, it now appears that they are illusory and impossible to be realistic at all.

In fact, when Henry met Hawking this time, he planned to recruit him into SpaceX. Hawking's scientific theory does not actually give much guidance to SpaceX. But Hawking's fame is what Henry values ​​most. There is a great **** in the scientific world who sits in the company, and it is sure to attract more scientists to join SpaceX.

Another point, Henry wants to study Hawking's brain... It is said that he can form various mental patterns and mental equations in his brain, and then use these mental elements to think about physical problems. The mental arithmetic ability can be said to be against the sky. The physicist Werner Israel said that Hawking's thinking process is like Mozart's writing of a very distinctive symphony only by imagination.

Of course, to study Hawking's brain, it must be justified. Henry remembered that in his previous life in 2005, Hawking's condition worsened. He could only use the movement of the cheek muscles to control his communication equipment, and he could only output one word per minute. As a result, Hawking and neuroscientists have developed a new system that allows the computer to translate his brainwave patterns into words and sentences.

Henry and Gene Umbrella’s research on brainwaves is beyond imagination. It is entirely possible to study his brain in the name of helping Hawking develop a brainwave translation system to see what is the difference between the "smartest brain"?

A hint of curiosity flashed in Henry's eyes. Is Hawking's brain better than mine?
