Audiences across the country looked at the scene and scratched their heads.
No one knows what Jiang Zhe just said.
In the expert group, the experts looked at each other, thinking that they had experienced amnesia again.
So the leader, Lao Zhao, urgently asked technicians to investigate the Laplace Demon replay just now.
It was discovered that Jiang Zhe passed the level without saying anything.
Old Zhao scratched his head and asked, "Did Jiang Zhe say anything? Has everyone lost their memory?"
The other experts shook their heads and expressed ignorance.
"No, Jiang Zhe seems to have let the Laplace Demon go without opening his mouth."
"Although I don't know what happened, I always feel that Jiang Zhe is unfathomable!"
"..."
At this time, Jiang Zhe entered a new empty room on the screen.
He explained as he walked:
"I'm afraid no one in the real world understands what I was thinking just now."
"Actually - the Laplace demon just now claims to be omniscient."
"What if a creature that claims to be omniscient really appears in our world."
"Then how do we surprise him? There is only one way -"
"Ask it - "Are you a brain in a vat? '——'How do you make sure you are not in trouble in the tank'? "
"The answer is obvious. The Laplace Demon couldn't tell me the truth, so it was surprised!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience who knew "Trouble in the Vat" was stunned.
But those viewers who didn’t understand sent comments expressing their doubts.
"Fuck, no wonder Jiang Zhe was able to pass the level. It turns out he asked an unanswerable question!"
"It's horrifying, I feel goosebumps. Even the omniscient devil doesn't know if I am the trouble in the vat!"
"Fuck, can anyone explain to me what the fuck is called 'trouble in the vat'?"
"Is such that..."
Troubles in the vat——
One victim was operated on by evil scientists. His brain was cut off from his body and placed in a vat containing a nutrient solution that kept the brain alive.
The victim's brain nerve endings were connected to a computer, which was programmed to send messages to his brain to maintain the illusion that everything was perfectly normal.
For the victim, it seems that people, objects, and the sky still exist, and their own movements and body sensations can be input into the data for simulation.
The victim's brain can also be entered with memories or intercepted memories (the memory of the brain surgery is intercepted, and then the various environments and daily life he may have experienced are entered).
It can even be entered into code and 'feel' itself doing anything -
Reading, eating, drinking, sleeping, working, etc...
Another purpose of this thought experiment is -
[How do you make sure you are real? 】
[Is it 'I think, therefore I am' or 'I am, therefore I think'? 】
[I am thinking, so I exist - idealism]
[Because I exist, I think—Materialism]
Idealism - consciousness (soul) determines matter (body) - the universe must have had an observer at the beginning. Because of the birth of this observer (consciousness), the universe was observed, so the universe was formed. If there was no observer, This universe never existed.
Materialism - matter (body) determines consciousness (soul) - because the body exists first, and then the soul. In this universe, matter exists first, and through the mutual combination of matter, super galaxies, local galaxy clusters, and galaxies are gradually formed. , stars, planets...
Idealism and materialism are actually a matter of precedence.
And the question Jiang Zhe asked Laplace's Demon - [How do you make sure you are a brain in a vat? How do you make sure you are not a brain in a vat? 】
Therefore, this problem surprised Laplace Demon.
After enthusiastic netizens explained it like this, the whole country and even new viewers were shocked!
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"
"Damn it, there is almost no solution to this problem!"
"No wonder, no wonder, the Laplace demon has always claimed that it knows everything, but when faced with this unsolvable problem, it also said it didn't know. Jiang Zhe is so fucking stupid!"
"Yes, no one can give the answer to this question, and no one will be able to give it in the future!"
"..."
While the audience was surprised, the expert panel was also surprised by Jiang Zhe's question.
They realized it later, why didn't they think of it?
An elderly philosopher patted Zhuo excitedly and applauded: "Okay, okay, great! It's indeed Jiang Zhe!"
Another young philosopher looked at the other experts who were confused and explained softly: "Actually, it's like this - Jiang Zhe asked the Laplace Demon, 'How can you be sure that you are not in trouble in the vat?', the meaning behind this question Did--did you really exist?"
"If Laplace's Demon is a brain in a vat, how can it be determined?"
"It can only look outside the tank to see if it is a brain in a tank."
"If Laplace's demon really had a way to get outside the brain in the vat, it would see the real world."
"But the question comes again - it jumps out of the world to observe its own brain, how can it determine that it is not being simulated by the evil scientist at this moment - it jumps out of the world to observe its own brain , how can I be sure that this moment is not being simulated?"
The young expert asked the question emphatically twice, and other experts at the scene were confused.
Looking at the blank expressions of the experts, the young philosopher explained again: "This is an infinite recursion problem - Laplace's demon jumped out of the world, observed it, and found that it was a brain in a vat."
"Well, then it jumped out of the world again, and it observed its own brain again..."
"Well, then it discovered that it was the brain again, and it ended up jumping out of the world again. The amazing thing is that it discovered that it was the brain again..."
"If the recursion continues infinitely, can it really discover that it is a brain in a vat? How can it be sure that all these behaviors and cognitions are not simulated by evil scientists to jump out of the world to observe?"
As soon as these words came out, all the experts in the room were stunned, and even the air became stagnant.
There is no solution to this problem, no solution in the true sense!
Even if Laplace's Demon realizes that he is a brain in a vat, is there a real world outside the world?
Is the world outside the world the real world?
If the recursion continues indefinitely, how can Demon Laplace be sure that his action of jumping out of the world is not simulated by a computer?
If you think about it carefully, you can discover Jiang Zhe's brilliance.
Where can the truth come from in this world?
There is no solution, and eternity cannot give a definite answer, so the Laplace Demon loses!
"Brilliant, brilliant!"
"Sure enough, this question has made me doubt my life!"
"Jiang Zhe is truly a genius, I admire you old man!"
"This guy's thinking and logic skills are too fast and too strong. He is already super awesome!"
...
Beautiful country expert group.
After they saw Jiang Zhe's explanation, all the experts were shocked.
They thought Jiang Zhe had passed the test by luck before, but they didn't expect that he could use unsolvable problems to surprise the Laplace demon in a short period of time.
Looking at the picture, the experts all exclaimed.
"Damn it, this guy is so shrewd and has real stuff!"
"The key is that he has been leading other chosen ones to their death. It's very abominable!"
"I hate him!"
"Having said that, there are other problems that can surprise the devil!"
...
In the beautiful country live broadcast room.
Adam also kept opening the door.
Because he has a goal and follows Jiang Zhe's footsteps, he will find the exit sooner or later.
So what if the number of openings is getting bigger and bigger!
Subconsciously, he completely believed that Jiang Zhe's whereabouts would lead him out.
By chance, Adam also encountered a bustling urban intersection in a parallel world, where he also met the Laplace Demon.
Adam was dumbfounded when he saw the annotation above the head of Laplace's Demon.
"Is this a joke? Let me, an earthling, surprise an omniscient person. Are you kidding me in the rules world?"
Seeing this scene, the audience in the beautiful country became anxious for him.
"I just came back from Xia Guo's live broadcast room. After learning the truth, I was completely shocked."
"I didn't expect Jiang Zhe to ask that. I'm afraid only the 'trouble in the vat' can surprise him, right?"
"Wrong, the expert team gave several possibilities, all inspired by Jiang Zhe's question!"
"What would Adam do?"
within the screen.
After struggling for nearly 20 minutes, Adam suddenly remembered the paradox on earth.
Just do it in a different way and surprise the Laplace Demon, right?
This is nothing more than a debate between humans and advanced life forms!
Well, it’s not difficult!
After being fully prepared, Adam curled his lips and took a step forward: "Excuse me, Mr. Omniscient, where do living things go after they die?"
He was confident that this question would be impossible for the omniscient Laplace Demon to answer!
But...
The next moment, Demon Laplace gave the answer without even thinking!
