Chapter 1214: Creation
There was dead silence in the office.
“I only found out yesterday.” After turning off the TV, Professor Witten looked at Professor Wilczek, who was dumbfounded, and said, “It seems that this is not the first time he has made such remarks… A few hours ago, I heard my assistant joking that he’s an evangelist, preaching in our laboratories all day long.”
Wilczek twirled his index finger and asked, “When did this begin?”
“A week ago, after the experiment.”
“I can’t believe that experiment resonated with him to this degree.” Wilczek took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose as he said, “How should we comfort him?”
“This is a problem for you to think about. Don’t try to shift the responsibility to me.” Witten then said, “The list of researchers on the collision experiment project team was signed and approved by you. Now that something is going wrong, aren’t you going to clean up your mess?”
“Was it really approved by me…?”
Seeing how Witten was not letting go, Professor Wilczek sighed and said, “Fine, I seem to remember that did happen.”
After spending half a minute thinking about how to solve this problem, he finally made up a decision in his mind. He raised his head and said, “There is no doubt that he has gone crazy.”
“My suggestion is for Professor Miro to take a break, and during that time… we must find a way to stop him from making such irresponsible remarks on behalf of the ILHCRC.
“This is a temple of science, not a church. If he really believes in those ideas… it would be better for him to continue his research in a temple.”
Witten nodded.
“I think so too.”
However, a trace of worry appeared in Witten’s eyes.
“I hope this will not cause him more trouble. I hope he can recover as soon as possible.”
Wilczek said, “Actually, I am curious about how he derived his theory of God through mass expansion.”
When Wilczek noticed Witten was staring at him, he laughed and said, “Of course, I’m just curious… I wouldn’t actually ask him.”

Lu Zhou had predicted that this experiment would shock the physics world. However, he didn’t expect the situation to develop in a completely different direction.
A new religion seemed to be created?
These people believed in “God creation theory”, that everything was arranged with intent. They believed that a certain higher living creature, civilization, or even consciousness created this universe.
They named this creature, civilization, or consciousness as the spirit of the universe.
The spirit of the universe was in-line with the God creation theory.
In fact, the God creation theory was not anything new in physics. One of the discoverers of string theory, Michio Kaku, was its loyal supporter.
Professor Kaku had also proposed parallel universe theory, time travel theory, and so on.
These things were not without scrutiny, but they could neither be proven nor falsified.
It was like if a physicist had guessed that there was an egg before the Big Bang. Although the first reaction of most people was that how could that be possible, there was nothing they could do to prove that it was false.
Man was a creature of time, and all thoughts were a product of time.
Time began at the start of the Big Bang.
So, logically speaking, it was impossible to prove or falsify any speculation before the universe was born.
It would be fine for this new religion that believed in the spirit of the universe to gain attraction.
After all, the meaning of science was only to study the mysteries of the world, not to deprive others of their beliefs.
However, the problem was that this doctrine seemed to gain the belief of some ILHCRC researchers…
The situation seemed to be out of control.
Lu Zhou stood at the entrance of an apartment building. After hesitating for a while, he took out his phone from his pocket.
“Xiao Ai.”
A chat box appeared on his screen.
Xiao Ai: [Here, Master! ♪(^∇^*)]
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and asked, “Can you find information on the term ‘spirit of the universe’ in your database?”
Xiao Ai: [Spirit of the universe? What is that? ( ̄△̄;)]
Lu Zhou: “Nothing, I’m just curious.”
So far, although he was able to determine where Xiao Ai came from, he still couldn’t figure out where Xiao Ai’s memory came from.
Logically speaking, before it was sent to him by the Void Civilization, everything about the Calan civilization should have been deleted from its database.
However, according to Xiao Ai, it was able to preserve some memories.
Does artificial intelligence programs forget stuff?
Lu Zhou didn’t know.
He really wanted to know the secrets behind Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai: [Although Xiao Ai doesn’t know, Xiao Ai can help Master search all the databases on the World Wide Web for relevant answers. (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧]
Lu Zhou: “No, thanks, it’s no longer necessary.”
A tall and thin man opened the door of the apartment building and walked out.
When he saw Lu Zhou, he had a surprised look on his face.
He spoke.
“Lu Zhou?”
Lu Zhou looked at him.
“You’re one of the few Americans that can recognize me.”
“Well, I have studied physics for so many years…” Professor Miro said, “Dear Professor Lu, what brings you here? I’m afraid I won’t be able to provide wisdom to you.”
Lu Zhou felt a hint of jealousy and even hostility from his tone.
This made Lu Zhou feel slightly uncomfortable.
He didn’t quite understand what he did to offend this guy.
However, Lu Zhou ignored this young physicist’s hostility.
He asked, “Do you want to grab a coffee with me?”
After staring at Lu Zhou for a while, Professor Miro shrugged and said, “Of course, I’m sure no one would reject your invitation.”
“I know a good place.” Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng and said, “Grab the car, same place.”
Wang Peng looked at Professor Miro. He then nodded.
“Okay.”
He turned around and walked to the car.
