Chapter 1040

the room was quiet for a moment, and then there was a buzz.

"Have you seen too many video machines?"

"The pseudoscience of changing memory is also here to talk about?"

"Where does this guy come from?"

"I don't know. I have a child with me. What is this place?"

……

The blue haired old man at the front desk glanced at the assistant sitting at the door. The young blue haired woman immediately got up and said, "be quiet! Be quiet

She seemed to have a special strength, and the young people who were still talking about it suddenly calmed down.

The blue haired old man coughed, looked at the "young man", and still said slowly, "your question is very good. Before I answer this question, I will tell you about a kind of thought experiment I mentioned in a paper when I was young."

With that, he looked for a moment from the screen on one side, turned out an article and projected it on the back.

As I said just now, when the memory from external stimulation increases and forms, self-consciousness will gradually appear, and then self-determination will continue. This is the mainstream concept in biological life science, but few people will realize that there is a problem that can not be solved -

self Does my consciousness exist in the first place, only gradually revealed under the formation of memories from external stimuli, or does it not exist in the original, but is caused by the memory of these external stimuli?

It's a ghostly question, and many famous biologists, like me, have been confused and even turned to the Lord of the great temple

The voice and image of the blue haired old man's words and sounds have a special magic power. In the spacious room, echoing back and forth, more than 100 young people followed the voice to think quietly.

"It doesn't seem difficult to prove such a problem. Just put a person, such as any one of you, back into the mother's child, and then after birth, be adopted by another pair of parents, and start a different life in a different environment."

The blue haired old man pauses for a moment, takes a look at the young man, and says, "at this time, just like the question raised by this young man, are you still you?"

On the seat under the stage, there were voices of discussion again. It was said that no, the experience was totally different from the memory. How could it be the same person? Some people say that they are the same person, but grew up in two different environments. Are they two people?

In this way, if they did not enter the University of St. Prussian a few years ago, they would have entered another university, or even no longer study at all. In these years, with different environments and memories, could they become another person?

Moreover, if the conditions of two families are not much different, the person will be the same no matter which family he is in, his physical appearance and even his voice will be the same, and he is the same person at all.

However, some opponents immediately said that it was because of the concept of time. A few years ago, their self-consciousness had been repeatedly determined and formed. After that, no matter how they changed their environment or what kind of experience they chose, they still formed themselves.

On the contrary, the people of the concept are not willing to be outdone and ask, how long was the formation time? Three years old? Or ten? There are obvious differences between the blue haired and the black haired. If there is no definite quantifiable number, it will not be convincing.

The blue haired woman at the door had to say in a loud voice again, "be quiet!"

The blue haired old man seems to be very satisfied that his students can have different arguments, whether it is right or wrong, there is a dispute that represents some kind of vitality.

When the room was quiet, he said with a smile:

"what is science? In short, the same phenomenon can be repeated under certain conditions, and then summed up to form a law. After that, you can publish it, and others can make experiments that can observe the phenomenon according to your law.

therefore, if one of you really saw the ghost in the horror film in the innermost interval of the toilet, then No Be afraid, on the contrary, you should be excited, because I want to congratulate you, your experience will be the greatest discovery of our time

There was a burst of laughter. The blue haired old man adjusted the atmosphere of heated debate with jokes, and then continued slowly and interestingly:

"I have heard all the ideas just now. Some people think that the same body is one person, while others think that the memory of completely different experiences is two people, and the reason why we have two different opinions, In fact, it was a failed thought experiment.

No one can really cram anyone back into his stomach. No matter how high the technology is, it can't reverse the time. Moreover, even if he starts a new life, he can't compare with the previous one, because the original one has disappeared in time and space. "

"Therefore, it is a failed ideological experiment. The premise it assumes is wrong and unscientific, and it will not get the correct result."

"A good thought experiment should not only have the correct premise, but also abandon the numerous twigs and twigs, and directly attack the essence and core of the problem, instead of being full of speculation and complexity. Therefore, I later designed another thought experiment."Speaking of this, as like as two peas of a blue figure, the old blue haired man has regained seriousness, pointing to a paragraph with a large number of pictures behind his back. "

" in this experiment, I designed two existing rooms, all the same things, ranging from color to size, without any difference, thus forming a completely identical external environment.

Then, in each "room," two new born people with identical physical characteristics, twins, cell replicators No matter what it is, we only assume that these two people are identical in biological morphology, even if there is no more than one cell and many one cell.

It can be foreseen that more advanced technologies than ours can achieve this.

then, as like as two peas in these two rooms, we give the two people exactly the same life, same environment, same process, all the external information is exactly the same, even the time arrangement is the same.

Now, I'm going to ask again, do these two people who have the same body and have exactly the same world and experience memory, will they have the same consciousness? "

Without waiting for the following people to talk about it, the blue haired old man quickly asked, "if so, how does it exist in two separate bodies? If not, how do you explain that two people who have the same physical and memory experiences are different? "

When the blue haired old man finished speaking, the audience was very quiet. Instead of arguing with each other as before, he seemed to fall into some kind of thinking.

After a while, after giving them some time to think about it, the blue haired old man continued: "like you, it has troubled me for a long time, because in any case, the result is contradictory and can not be self consistent, and finally prompted me to realize the problem hidden in our mainstream biological life concept.

Unfortunately, with our scientific and technological capabilities, it is impossible to realize this ideological experiment. But I believe that there may be life in the universe that is one thousand years, ten thousand years, or even more years ahead of us. They have the ability to make this experiment, and even go further, not only for individual experiments, but also for large-scale experiments, so as to obtain a large number of experimental data.

Why do you say that? Because I believe that this is one of the ultimate purposes of all life.

For example, it extends to a small branch - immortality.

In our ancient history, countless monarchs have tried to find such power, but they can only rely on the temple, but its branches can solve this problem.

If the self-consciousness is born from the memory stimulated by the outside world, then we can transfer all the memory to the spare life body before death, obtain new life and live forever.

If the self-consciousness is born at the moment of life, and it exists originally, then we may still have to go the old way to practice the ancient legends, of course, by scientific methods. After all, we already know the zero dimensional space of memory mapping, and there may be more secrets to discover there.

So I believe that those who are able to do this thought experiment should have acquired the means of immortality, and they can even transform their consciousness into different organisms. "

The blue haired old man pauses for a moment, then looks at the "teenager" frowning as if he is thinking. "Therefore, I can only answer you the question you just asked. If self-consciousness originally exists, then even if you modify your memory, as long as you touch enough levels as in the legend, you must be yourself. Otherwise, you may lose yourself If self-awareness is born of memories and experiences that are stimulated by the outside world, it is very likely that you will become another person.

I can't give you a definite answer, but I can tell you one thing. Don't worry. No one can change your memory.

According to existing research, a slight change in the brain can produce an unpredictable chain reaction, and a normal person will be destroyed into an idiot.

I know that movie and TV story you said is not in line with our biology, but there is one thing that it is not wrong. If you want to make such memory changes, you really need the Supreme God to do it. "

……

After leaving the spacious room, it was very late. As soon as the cold wind blew, "the boy" realized that he had forgotten his business. Fortunately, the surroundings were very calm, and there was no chaos of lusters.

He didn't know why he asked this question and why he was interested in it. He just felt vaguely that he had to make it clear, otherwise he would rather not remember where his home was!

Because they didn't find him, they just had to prepare to go back the same way.

It's still waiting to start tomorrow!

At this time, one of the people who followed him out of the spacious room received a call and said in surprise, "near St. prudence? Lecher attacked a car? OK, I'll leave right away

"Young man" was suddenly surprised, and Mao Xiu was also shocked. Although it may not be the four wheeled vehicle that ran the master's house, he felt that he still wanted to go and have a look because he had seen a line of soldiers when he came.
