Chapter 28: Truth


After a short round of applause, Douglas smiled: "Lucian, in the past month, many arcanists here, including me, have confirmed the existence of cathode rays, and there are no problems with your experiment just now, so we can preliminarily conclude that this is a particle smaller than an atom, and as the discoverer, you have the right to name it." ” Although the paper on cathode rays was only published in this issue of the arcane, those present were either the members of the Supreme Council or the high-level arcanists, and there were enough channels to know that a new ray had been discovered after Lucien submitted the paper and passed the review, and was able to experiment with its surname before other arcanists and try to apply it to their own magical improvements.

And with so many Grand Arcanists and High-level Arcanists watching, as long as there is any cheating and falsification in Lucian's experiment, it will be discovered, so the results of the experiment are real and credible.

"It's negatively charged, and the charge is very small, so it's called electrons."

Lucien did not change the name.

"Yes, the name of the electron is very good, it will be our first step into the microcosm, and it will be an important progress for us to get closer to reality."

Douglas said to the advanced arcanists in a speech, trying to minimize the psychological effects of the collapse of the atomistic foundation and turn it into a brilliant victory for the arcane, "However, we must not be proud of this, we must calm down and think about some questions, why there is a flow of electrons in gas discharges, what is the unique surname of the electron, what is the precise mass and charge, whether it has anything to do with the atom, and what is the internal structure of the atom, and whether the electrons can be separated. ” Sure enough, it was a Douglas-style speech, Lucien's head was swollen when he heard it, and he finally understood why his teacher Fernando gave him the nickname "100,000 Whys", which was really appropriate, and he was ashamed that Lucian had already known from Fernando that during the miracle experiment, they were "watching" in the half-dimensional space upstairs and heard his "100,000 whys" answer.

With a slight turn of his head, Lucian's gaze collided with Fernando's, and he pursed his mouth to show that it was good to get used to it.

At this time, Oliver interjected with a smile: "Your Excellency, Speaker, let's give the time to Evans, he is the protagonist today." ” When Douglas heard this, he laughed and said, "I'm too excited, so let the young man talk about it." ” "Evans, aren't you going to share with us your experience of arcane, why you can not be bound by the current arcane theory, not worry about the collapse of the cognitive world, and always put forward the idea of subverting the surname.

Florence is a staunch atomist, and I still have to spend time slowly changing her point of view, so I'm very curious about how you think, no, it's not forced, everyone has their own secrets, and I also have things that I don't want to share with others.

Oliver smiled gently, neither condescending nor conservative.

All the Arcanists, including Roland, expressed great interest in Oliver's question, and Fernando became serious to hear what his students were thinking, but Hathaway continued to maintain her usual cold and quiet attitude.

Lucien stood in front of the mirrored passageway, smiling at the Grand Arcanists, Legendary Magicians, and High-level Arcanists, calmly and without a little timidity, and said: "In this regard, I have a personal philosophical point of view, which I hope can bring some inspiration to Your Excellency and gentlemen. ” "It seems to me that truths must be distinguished, and I divide them into absolute truth and relative truth."

"Absolute truth is the essence and law of the objective existence of the world, which does not change due to the proposal of any new theory, that is, the truth we seek."

"But limited by our level of knowledge, magical strength, way of thinking, degree of exploration, physical soul and other conditions, we can only approach the absolute truth, and obtain the relative truth under certain conditions, that is, the relative truth is an approximation of the absolute truth within a certain range, which can solve the problems we encounter under that condition, and once it exceeds this range, the relative truth will become wrong."

The smiling Oliver smile slowly disappeared, his expression was serious and focused, Fernando's red eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect Lucian's thoughts to be so special, Douglas's tall body leaned back slightly, subconsciously looking for a comfortable sitting position, and seemed to be caught in thought, Hathaway held his chin with his right hand, and rubbed silently, just like Natasha's habitual movements.

The other arcanists, including Lavendi, Roland, and others, did not expect Lucien to have such a mature mind, and it was not at all like what he thought before, relying on the vigor, sharpness, and outstanding talent of young people to rampage in the arcane realm.

"So many of the theories that we have overturned and subverted are not meaningless, they are relative truths under certain conditions, but with the development of arcane arts, the scope of our exploration has exceeded the conditions for their establishment, and it will appear that they are wrong, absurd, and subverted."

"For example, in the theory of atomism, in ordinary alchemy reactions and potion brewing, as far as what we have observed so far, the atom is indeed the most basic substance, and it is the relative truth under this condition."

"For example, in the days of the ancient Magic Empire, why their theories seem wrong to us today, but they were still able to harness their spirits, perform magic, and even become legendary magicians because they are also relative truths under certain conditions."

"As we explore, we get closer and closer to the reality of the world, the scope of truth needs to be applied more and more broadly, and the relative truth obtained is more and more close to the absolute truth, but the world is vast, and we are so small in comparison, it is conceivable that for a long, long time, we will not be able to obtain the absolute truth, but can only grasp the relative truth that is more and more close to it, and it will become wrong at any time because the conditions have expanded and the scope has become broader."

Therefore, we should always hold the view that everything in our hands is only relative truth for the time being, and contains a part of the absolute truth but is not complete, even if we believe in it, use it, and build the cognitive world on this basis, it should be limited to certain conditions.

In this way, it will be better to face the subversion of the surname view. ” Taking the opportunity of this speech, Lucien is also sorting out and consolidating his philosophical concepts, laying the foundation for all kinds of strange things that he may face in the future, and trying to subtly influence the views of magicians.

However, Lucien also understands that it is very difficult to change once the three views are established, and the same is true of the cognitive world of magicians, which cannot be changed by a philosophical speech.

If a person can surrender his subconscious mind and completely control his body and mind, in earthly parlance, he will belong to the category of "holy" and "Buddha".

So, there will definitely be magicians who will get headshots or never be able to improve in the future because of the collapse of the cognitive world, there will definitely be magicians who will argue, argue, hate, and assassinate each other because of theoretical conflicts, and there will definitely be magicians who know philosophical views but cannot be used to guide their arcane and magical studies, and Lucien only hopes that this situation will be minimized.

After the presentation, there was a brief silence in the small conference room.

After a while, Douglas was the first to applaud: "Very good philosophical speculation, explaining the development of arcane theory from the Magic Empire to the Council, and the various stages of the Council, although we have grasped some of the truth, but we should not blindly believe in it, but should ask a few more whys."

Lucian, you're more mature than I thought, not just in terms of age, but here. ” He pointed to his head, "I'm completely relieved that you've become a member of the audit committee." ” It can be seen that he is very fond of philosophy.

The expression of absolute truth and relative truth has made many high-level arcanists think, but they also have a certain degree of doubt about it, many of the theories and laws of the current arcane system are obviously valid wherever they are placed, they are all laws that explore the world, summarize from phenomena, and deduce other phenomena through laws and have been confirmed.

After a short discussion, the high-level arcanists left one after another, and they had to seize the time to explain to their students and friends the contradiction between the periodic law and the atomic theory, and gradually spread it so that the majority of magicians could slowly change their positions.

"Lucian, well, when your paper is officially published, I will gather high-level officials to discuss the issue of the Holm Crown Award."

Morris said to Lucien almost word by word, his expression was extremely complicated, and under the relief was a thick "hatred".

"I have no opinion."

Lucien couldn't bear to irritate him any more.

Morris nodded heavily, and when he saw that Lavendi had already walked out of the small conference room, he "smiled" and said: "Actually, the miracle experiment has enough possibilities to help you get the Immortal Throne Award, it seems that there is no need to take another ring, anyway, there are electrons, hehe, I'm kidding, you don't have to take it to heart." ” He spotted the Storm Lord approaching and quickly turned to leave.

A few days later, inside Chloe's magic tower.

A gas servant was holding a letter to hand it to its master, but it only found a message left by his master: "I followed the teacher to conduct an experiment, and if there is a letter, I will record the key words and put them separately." ” So, the gas servant opened the envelope, read the beginning, and summarized the key words: "Chloe, you can hardly believe it, my teacher Roland discovered the contradiction between the periodic law of the elements and the atomic theory, and predicted that there are particles smaller than atoms, and this is very contradictory to your insistence, atoms are probably not the basis of matter In fact, matter is just an illusion of people, and energy is the essence of everything."

High-level meeting of Heidler City, Pale Hand Headquarters.

"Recently, in Alinge, the Elemental Will Headquarters, and in some other places, many high-level arcanists have been secretly spreading problematic claims about the atomic theory, and pointing out a lot of loopholes."

Rogerio tapped lightly on the table, "This thing is very weird. ” Pesol sneered, "What's weird that it's clear that there are experimental results that are not good for atomism, so the council is slowly changing the arcanist's point of view, just like we used to do. ” If you see a lot of things, it will be easy to guess.

"Quite possibly.

It's a pity that I don't know what the experiment is, otherwise I would have been able to secretly give the elemental will a hard blow.

An old man dressed in the robes of the Ancient Magic Empire said grimly.

Felipe, who was sitting quietly in a corner, raised his head, glanced at him coldly, and said sarcastically: "Mr.

Sosa, do you think that you can hide from the council at this time, and you won't let the council anger you as if they were all idiots?"

Under the strong suppression of the parliamentary faction, at least in Alinge, the struggle within the Magical Council is still at a relatively reasonable level.

"If their experiments are known, it's their own fault."

Sosa snorted coldly.

Since it was not clear what the experiment was, the meeting ended early after the task of exploration was assigned.

After returning to his magic tower, Felipe bluntly instructed the servants: "Bring Lucien Evans' latest papers." ” When the paper was found, Felipe re-read it, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn he became: "It's all about the negative charge of the particle flow of cathode rays" Holm Glorious Cathedral.

A secret piece of information was sent to the ashram where the cardinals were staying.
