Chapter 594
Chapter 592 is infinite
The cocker spaniel brought by Meng was trained well. After entering the store, there was no screaming, quietly squatting on the floor, pumping his nose, flashing his eyes and looking at the kitchen of the snack bar. Fry and fry the aroma.
Zhang Zi An drank two orange juices and stared at the letters on the napkin.
Since he talked about science fiction, he remembered a novel he had read before, and he said, “Mr. Meng, I don’t know if you have read a short fantasy novel, is it called “The Book of Sand”?”
“The Book of Sand?”
This time it was the turn of Meng, who was bending over to comb the hair of the cocker spaniel. The cocker spaniel’s hair is too long, and it is naturally easy to curl. If it is not in a word, it will be agglomerated and it needs to be combed frequently, otherwise it will look very embarrassing. In addition to learning, the other task of the graduate students he brings is to comb the dog, often self-deprecating to play cotton…
After Meng’s slight memories, it was determined that the name was strange and he should have never seen it.
“As I said, I rarely read science fiction. I usually read books related to mathematics. After all, I have to live to learn old in this year. If I don’t pay attention, I will be eliminated by the times.” He laughed. “Is this “Book of Sand” very interesting?”
“No, although it is called “The Book of Sand”, it is not a ‘book’, it is a short story fantasy novel with only 2000 characters. The author is Argentine writer Borges, which is one of his masterpieces. Zhang Zi An explained that this is a science fiction novel he has seen very early, because it is short and incisive and shocking.
“Oh?” Meng Li has some interest. “In mathematics, it is often concise and beautiful. Is this novel only 2000, but it can become a representative of a writer? It must be a very ideological and artistic story. What is it talking about?”
Zhang Zi An briefed him on this fantasy novel.
At the beginning of the Book of Sand, the ordinary hero lived in an ordinary house. One day, a stranger carrying a small box visited. Strangers are selling the Bible, but the protagonist has several Bibles and is not interested in it. The stranger then took out another book, the book is not the Bible, and the cover reads “The Holy Book.”
After the protagonist opened the holy book, he found that the page numbers of the holy books are very strange, not in order, but in random order. The most important thing is that the pages of this holy book are endless, no matter how they turn over. At the beginning, it doesn’t turn to the end. There will always be new pages that are produced out of thin air, and there are illustrations like a dictionary.
The stranger said that the book he bought from a village, the seller called it “the book of sand”, because it is like sand without beginning and end.
This book is obviously very weird, but strangers are willing to sell to the protagonist at a relatively low price. In fact, he has long wanted to get rid of it.
After the protagonist got the book, it also became its captive, because it is so cherished that it is inseparable from it, and almost no longer goes out; because it has a very strong interest in it and studies it day and night, night can not be embarrassed, occasionally I fell asleep and dreamed of it.
Like strangers, the protagonist was shocked to continue this way and he was finished, so he decided to get rid of this nightmare.
Having said that, Zhang Zi An Xue Meng sold the Guan and asked: “Mr. Meng, can you guess how the protagonist got rid of this book?”
Meng Li has been completely attracted by this bizarre story, stopped the action of combing the hair for the cocker spaniel, and tried to guess: “Is it sold to someone else like a stranger?”
Zhang Zi An smiled. “He used a smarter way – Hiroki Yuki. He didn’t pay attention, he secretly put the book on a certain shelf of the National Library with 900,000 books, and When you put it, try not to remember which bookshelf it is, and then you don’t even go to the street where the library is located.”
Meng slammed the table with a sigh of praise. “It is a good way! If you do this, the “Book of Sand” will be difficult to see, unless it is a bad luck that happens to take one of the 900,000 chances. It started!”
Zhang Zi An smiles – the hapless is sitting in front of you, and you are invited to drink a glass of orange juice.
He remembered that when he first came to the pet shop, he once made a move to catch the sand. At that time, he guessed that this meant to represent the sand of the Ganges. Is it actually wrong?
“The story is over here?” Meng Yiyi still asked.
Zhang Zi An nodded, “It’s over, leaving a fascinating ending. Teacher Meng, is this “Book of Sand” very similar to the “Super Webster’s Dictionary”?
Meng Li said: “It is very similar, but the “Super Webster Dictionary” is more rigorous and has a beginning.”
Zhang Zi An also admits this. After all, the “Super Webster’s Dictionary” is a scientific hypothesis, and “The Book of Sand” is a fantasy of a writer, but it coincides in some respects.
“Whether it is the “Super Webster’s Dictionary” or “The Book of Sand”, if they exist, they should all be very precious. Can it be regarded as the most powerful book on earth? If there are other civilizations in the universe, will it be imagined? More powerful book?” he asked.
He remembers that Xinghai said that the nameless book is the most powerful book on earth, but it is not the most powerful book in the universe.
Meng Li smiled: “Great? Of course. But these two books are limited. The limitation is that they are written in English and are limited by 26 English letters. Some things may be 26 English. The letters cannot be expressed. If a civilization in the universe has a more complete language system, the “Super Webster Dictionary” they dream of must be even more powerful.”
Zhang Zi An nodded, thus confirming the words of Xinghai.
“Mr. Meng, what would you do if you got this “Book of Sand” or “Super Webster’s Dictionary”?” he asked again.
Meng Li was drinking orange juice, and suddenly stopped moving.
“Get it? No matter which of the two books, it should not exist in reality, how can it be obtained?” He asked the science student’s rigid face.
“If, if you got it?” Zhang Zi An stressed.
“Well, this…” Meng thought about it. “If you get the “Book of Sand”, I should also look at it. As for whether it will be as infatuated as the protagonist of the story… I am not sure, very Maybe it will, after all, the thirst for knowledge is something that many people have; but if you get the “Super Webster Dictionary”… This is hard to say, the words inside may be arranged in disorder, then I see I don’t understand, I might turn in the country.”
He said half-jokingly.
“This is another question for me.” Zhang Zi An ignored his jokes, but grabbed his words and asked further questions: “If the words in the Super Webster Dictionary are out of order, how do you Does the assertion contain all the knowledge and splendid articles?”
Meng Li Shen Shen said: “This is only theoretical, but this hypothesis is only hypothetical, and does not take into account the difficulty of reading …”
Zhang Zi An added: “Mr. Meng, have you heard this sentence – I have a life, and I know nowhere?”
“Know, although I am a mathematics, I still know it when I am famous.” Meng Li smiled. “The meaning of this sentence is that life is limited, but knowledge is unlimited. But this sentence is Are we talking about the “Super Web Dictionary” and “The Book of Sand”?”
“Yes, and it has a lot to do with it.” Zhang Zi An said affirmatively, “Mr. Meng, do you know what the second half of this sentence is?”
“This…” Meng was asked.
The first half of this sentence is too famous, but it tends to ignore its second sentence. Many famous sayings are like this. People take it out of context according to their own needs and forcibly distorted their original meaning. For example, “parents are not far away” are often used to educate filial sons. However, there are still the following sentences in the original text of Confucius’s old man. There must be a tour.”
“The second half is – with the end of the world, there is no end, you have!” Zhang Zi An asked himself.
Meng carefully chewed the second half of the sentence, and then compared it with the first half of the sentence, not surely said: “I am not very good at the ancient text, this latter half is to say – to limit the pursuit of infinity, Is it going to fail?”
“Yes.”
“The words of the ancestors still have their philosophies until today.” Meng Li exclaimed.
“I think so too.” Zhang Zi An admits. This is actually his introspection, and he has understood something.
That unnamed book, whether it is the “Super Webster’s Dictionary” or “The Book of Sand”, or the book of fantasy belonging to other civilizations of the universe, is infinite, and people are limited, with unlimited infinite, It is bound to fail, so no single human being can read the anonymous book. When he opened the nameless book and tried to understand it, he made the mistake of “limited by limit”.
The protagonist of “The Book of Sand” has made the same mistake because of his extreme desire for knowledge. He did not understand that knowledge is infinite, and his time is limited.
It is: my life is boundless, and knowing no end; to the end of the world with no end, hey!
unless……
Meng Li also thought of this. “Limited people can’t read unlimited books, unless people are also infinite. There are countless people who go to see the “Super Webster Dictionary” at the same time, infinitely seeking unlimited, everyone extracts them at the same time. Meaningful words, splicing them into terms and articles…”
“But how can there be an infinite number of people? It still doesn’t make sense.” He shook his head and sighed.
No, it actually makes sense, Zhang Zi An said quietly.
He knows why Xinghai can understand the nameless book, because Xinghai has experienced countless cycles of life and death, with “infinite” attributes.
In the world of mind, Long has experienced the cycle of life and death with Xinghai, and it has also touched the “infinite” side, so it can see the ambiguous handwriting.
π can understand, it must be because it also has “infinite” attributes.
Only by asking for infinity with infinity can you understand the nameless book.
