Chapter 1168:
The Fifth Dinsion
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Chicxulub impact brought an end to one of Earth’s great eras before the planet entered its Ice Age, which lasted until the Cenozoic era arrived.
“The Wilkes event happened right in the Cenozoic era, in fact, the Eocene Cenozoic, about 58 to 36 million years ago.”
“But as you can see, this teorite is supposed to be bigger, so much bigger than the Chicxulub teorite, which created an era when life was off limits. This teorite, therefore, should have started an era when life was nearly extinct a longer period of ti, and possibly even destroyed all life on earth!”
“However, it didn’t happen. The teorite impact was limited to the region now known as Antarctica, and the effect was comparatively very mild. It just destroyed the region’s ecological environnt at the ti. Why is this so? ”
Li Du looked at Steve doubtfully, shrugged and said, “You tell , I did not research this and can’t possibly guess.”
Steve licked his lips and suddenly changed the topic. “The water divers in China and the United States are quite impressive. Our divers often have a good performance at the Olympics. Have you ever seen water diving before?”
Li Du nodded. “Certainly, but what does this have to do with that?”
Steve made a gesture with his hand. “There is a very important part of the diving score, and that is the water splash caused by diving into the water. If the diver wants to get a good score, they have to learn how to minimize the water splash.”
Sophie seed to understand. She said, “If you actively minimize the water splash, the human body will only disturb a small amount of water, and can even keep the surface almost calm. If you don’t do that, you’re going to drop like a dead weight and make a big splash.”
“You’re trying to say that when this huge teorite ca down to earth, it did this consciously. Or soone helped minimize its impact...”
Steve snapped his fingers. “Yeah, that’s it!”
Then he looked at Li Du with an envious look. “You lucky bastard, I don’t know why you are so fortunate. You can pick up treasure in warehouse auctions or find yourself an amazing girlfriend. Sophie is incredible!”
Li Du cuddled Sophie proudly and said, “That’s because I am a good person. God always blesses good people.”
“Yes, God has blessed mankind,” Steve nodded “This teorite impact has a geological and archaeological na: God crushed water!”
“I would rather believe aliens helped the earth than God,” said Li Du.
Steve looked straight at him and said, “What if it was neither of those? What if humans worked to reduce the teorite impact?”
Li Du was puzzled. “Humans? How does that make sense? How could there be any human on earth at that ti? The impact took place in the tertiary era and humans only appeared in the quaternary, after tens of millions of years.”
Steve nodded. “Yes, you’re right. But what if people from the future went back in ti and reduced the impact?”
Li Du laughed out loud and said, “Haha, how could that be? I would rather believe that aliens did this.”
Steve said helplessly, “See, I told you. I didn’t want to tell you my theory, not because I wanted to keep it a secret, but because I knew you would not believe .”
Li Du stopped laughing imdiately, and after a long pause, he said, “It is not that I don’t believe you, Steve. It’s just that it’s easier to believe in aliens taking action in this case. If those were aliens, we wouldn’t need to ask ourselves which ca first, the egg or the chicken.”
Hearing that, Steve perked up and asked, “Which ca first? What’s wrong with that?”
Li Du began to explain. “Which ca first, an egg or a chicken?”
“Of course the egg ca before the chicken. Chickens are birds, and birds are thought to have evolved from dinosaurs... dinosaur eggs, you know?” Steve responded quickly.
Li Du blinked, waiting for him to say more.
After a mont, Steve laughed and said, “I see what you an. Humans appeared tens of millions of years after the teorite hit. No matter how they transmigrate, in every circle, the collision still happens before human existence, and there would be always lack of a human who did this, right?”
Li Du nodded. “Yes, it is an endless cycle.”
Steve posed another question, “So, do you know about the fifth dinsion?”
The geographical questions ended and physics were brought out.
Li Du was dazed. He interrupted Steve and asked, “Wait, what is your qualification?”
“Ph.D. from Harvard, why?”
Li Du was satisfied. No wonder he couldn’t understand what Steve was saying. He had a Master’s degree, which made him a highly educated person, but this couldn’t compare to a Ph.D. from Harvard.
Anyway, according to Steve, the zero dinsion is a point, no size, no space, and the first dinsion is a line between two points, no space for a length.
In the second dinsion, two lines that cross to form a plane with an area and no solid space. The third dinsion is a surface and a penetrating line, forming a three-
dinsional space.
The fourth dinsion is the human dinsion, three-dinsional space plus tiline;
The fifth dinsion is the fourth dinsion of the case to open a tiline. This tiline can test the four-dinsional space of the tiline, that is to say, in the fifth dinsion, the fourth dinsion of space and ti can arbitrarily shuttle...
Li Du listened to Steve’s explanation, understanding only in part. In the end, he sumd up, “You look for the teorite to find that so-called fifth dinsion?”
“A point of entry into the fifth dinsion,” Steve corrected. “And I am not the only one looking for it, but many others want to find it too. Your countryman, the one nad Tang, has this goal as well.”
Li Du rubbed his scalp hard. He quietly asked Brother Wolf, “Are we hallucinating? Why do I feel like this is a science fiction movie?”
Brother Wolf slapped himself hard and said, “Boss, this hurt. I’m sure you’re not hallucinating.”
Li Du could neither laugh nor cry. This guy was too honest.
No wonder Steve said he would not believe it. He really could not.
When Elson had finished making dinner, he ca over, clapped his hands and said.
“Okay, kids. Let’s end the discussion for now. We will begin our dinner now. Mr. Li and Miss Martin, prepare to enjoy your first dinner in the coldest region of the world.”
This was a bit exaggerated. It was not very cold in the Antarctic at that mont. The weather was actually warr than in Li Du’s hotown. In this season, the temperature in Li Du’s hotown could get below freezing and drops of water could turn into ice.
