Overview
The universe has always been an unsolvable mystery in human minds. In ancient times, people looked at the stars and thought about what was in the sky? In modern times, people look at the moon from afar and think, is there life on the moon? In modern times, people look at the universe from afar. What is the essence of the universe?
curiosity is driving the progress of human civilization. Today, a scientist boldly proposed: the universe may be a huge neural network. Is the universe a neural network? Does the universe have life?
Origin of the universe
From ancient myths to modern science, people have many statements about the origin of the universe.
China believes that the universe was created by a group of immortals such as Jade Emperor . In myths and legends, they also imitate the feudal system in reality, and also arrange a political system for the kingdom in heaven. It is somewhat funny now, but this is also the limitation of the times.
Western countries also has their own mythological origins. They believe that God created the universe, God was founded in seven days, worked in the first seven days, rested on the seventh day, and thus derived the week system.
Ancient science is also constantly improving. Although people do not have advanced instruments, they still observe the movement of celestial bodies. Various civilizations around the world have their own calendars. History also commonly found records about meteorite , comet , etc. shows that people's research on the universe has long been started.
With the advent of modern times, people have updated their instruments and started to observe the universe with telescopes. We began to understand the moon hanging above our heads every night, explore the universe outward, and then discovered that the center of the universe is not the earth, and welcoming the heliocentric theory.
modern times have arrived, and people have a more full understanding of the eight planets of the solar system, , , and have begun to launch rockets, explore the moon, , Mars, , etc. We seem to be getting closer and closer to uncovering the mysteries of the origin of the universe.
By the 21st century, the most representative or accepted view of the origin of the universe is: the origin theory of the Big Bang.
As early as the 20s, some astronomers discovered that many systems outside the Milky Way are far away from the earth and away from the Milky Way. After further observation, scientists discovered that redshift phenomenon is occurring in these galaxies. Why do these galaxies gradually move away from the earth?
1929, American astronomer Hubble pointed out that the distance between the extragalactic galaxy and the galaxy galaxy and the distance between the galaxy and the earth is proportional to the distance between . The galaxy's galaxy is also moving away from the earth with the extragalactic galaxy. Why is this happening?
Scientists have speculated after research that the entire universe is expanding, so the distance between the galaxy galaxy and the earth is also increasing, and it is a positive correlation.
In the 1940s, after 20 years of research, Gamov, an American astrophysicist, officially proposed the origin theory of the Big Bang . Initially, the universe was a point. After the pressure reached its limit, the universe exploded and expanded outward, forming many celestial bodies, which are still expanding today.
However, at the beginning, the universe was very hot due to the huge internal pressure. After the explosion, the pressure was released and gradually cooled down as time passed.
Is the universe a huge neural network?
When scientists observed the Milky Way, they found that the various galaxies in the Milky Way were very similar to hairs, intertwined with each other; further observed multiple galaxies and found that they all had this feature, even a bit like a net.
After continuous observation and research, the universe that humans can observe is getting larger and larger. Finally, American physics professor Vitali Van Chulin published "This World as a Neural Network", proposing for the first time: The matter in the universe does not exist separately or in fragmented, and there are certain connections between planets, between stars, between planets, between planets, between planets, etc., and this connection is regular.
Van Qiulin further proposed that the universe is alive, it is part of a living body, and the universe is a huge neural network, and each galaxy is closely connected, which can efficiently layout the entire universe. Therefore, the various celestial bodies in the universe operate in such a regular manner, and each part plays its own role and is integrated.
If the universe is a neural network, it will subvert the previous theory of inanimate universe and provide a new perspective to understand the universe.
The universe is a neural network. According to our experience, neural networks do not exist alone. Does it mean that the so-called vast universe is just a small neural network of a behemoth? So there is a huge body outside the universe?
Are we just a small part of a living body, and the universe is like a cell network in our body? If this statement is confirmed, it will inevitably subvert human cognition and even completely shatter human self-confidence and arrogance.
Many speculations about the nature of the universe
What is the universe? Human beings have never stopped exploring. Since entering modern times, many wonderful ideas have been born. With the advent of the first microcomputer in the 1990s, computers became a core feature and representative of modern technology. Some scientists believe that the universe is actually an computer program . Why do
think so? is because the universe is too regular. . Each celestial body has similar orbits, gravity, time, space, black holes, etc. Everything is so perfect. Even Newton cannot find where the first external force comes from, and what makes the universe move, it will inevitably make people guess that the universe is designed well. The biggest feature of
computer program is orderliness. All its operations and steps are step by step, but the complex program hides the process.
If the universe is really a computer program, many unsolved mysteries will be solved: the orbits of celestial bodies in the universe are designed in advance, and the parameters are fixed, so they are so orderly; black hole is the universe garbage can, which can throw away discarded files in the program into it to ensure the normal operation of the program.
sounds very reasonable, but if the orbits of celestial bodies are all set, how can small planets hit the earth? These accidents have become an important basis for the scientific community to question the theory of cosmic computer programs.
Conclusion
The seemingly strange theory at the beginning may be confirmed in the future. Regardless of whether the universe is a neural network or not, this provides people with a new perspective of thinking, and perhaps one day it will become the key to uncover the mystery of the universe.
