Classroom of "Introduction to Tomato Thought" at Universe Third University

"Today's class, we will discuss the additions and deletions of "Introduction to Tomato Thought" . The textbook "Tomato" should be kept in mind by every student. If you don't memorize it thoroughly, how can you admit us through the college entrance examination? What about the highest academy that is the third strongest in the universe?”

(a smirk from the audience)

"Thank you for your support. Back to the topic, today I will discuss the abridged paragraph of Chapter 3 "Punctuality is the Basic Principle of Modern Thought". "Whoever controls the past controls the future; whoever controls the present controls the past." It was proposed by the Educational Ape Working Group and passed by the 50th Core Ape Conference, but it was deleted in the new fifth edition due to the completion of the tasks in the education for all stage, which did not meet the needs of political work.”

"Finally, please keep in mind that thoughts are fluid, and the "latest" thoughts are the correct thoughts that conform to the current trend. Please read the new edition of "Introduction to Tomato Thoughts" every year and revise your old-fashioned thinking. No problem, come here today."

"The Philosophy of Thought and Philosophy of the New Universe" professor waved his hand and turned off the projector behind him. He glanced at the notification bar and thought about why Chen Jian had not been contacted yet. According to this time, he should have reached the newest star. He is about to get his tenure next month. He looked up at the classmates who had packed up their stationery and left, and was secretly glad that he had spent another boring day.

"How long will it continue like this?" What the singer did not say in the class was that in fact, the old edition of "Introduction to Tomato Thought" can be found, and every edition can be found! They are properly stored in the interstellar file system. When the latest star was still called Earth (of course, no one knows about this now), a group of programmers built this file system, and then successfully built the system in each On the planet colony, all files can be accessed synchronously without unauthorized modification.

"The early design of the rotation star was actually to synchronize the interstellar file system, so that everyone can communicate. How did it become like this?" The singer sighed inwardly. All the new versions are just bluffing, and all the correct ideas are just collective amnesia. How many people now know that today's class paragraph is actually from the pre-modern novel "1984"? Really can not laugh or cry.

Chen Jian was the outstanding graduate student who discovered this "Tomato 1984 Paradox" by himself, and he even dug up the overwritten original document from the Interstellar Archive System. Fortunately, he contacted the singer at the first time, otherwise Chen Jian would be in trouble. During this period of time, singers saw countless scholars being reported and punished by time reversal. The light ones forgot the brilliant academic discoveries, and the heavy ones even forgot their own mothers.

In the past few years, the singer has absorbed Chen Kai into the school of "New Universe Thought and Philosophy", guiding the most rooted philosophical trend of thought on the table, and secretly starting from the most basic theory of self-rotation clock. Someone has to be proficient in self-rotating clocks! This is a forbidden subject. Any clock-tower planet strictly prohibits the transmission of knowledge of the rotation clock; any civilization that still flows at the same speed cannot develop such technology beyond the times. Since the Rotary Clock technology was hijacked, technology has stopped growing since then, and the sun never sets.

Since then, time has become noble and low, and the hijacker can accelerate and decelerate at will. The hijacker has a knife and a dissent, and the outcome is either eternal stillness or accelerated demise, eventually approaching entropy. And the center of the hijacker is located in the newest star.

"That group of boring apes." The singer cursed inwardly.

But there are too few young scholars who are willing to take the risk, so few are almost single-line biography, which is why singers are eager to see Chen Jian. In the past, the singer even had to betray his old friend Matt, one of the makers of the Rotary Clock, in exchange for the opportunity to stay at the newest star to coach. This was the last resort that had to be done, all for the universe that Matt built.

So he has to stay in the newest star, someone has to stay! Stay in this creepy place of black hole worship.

And the Institute of Philosophy and Thought of the Third University of the Universe is the best place to hibernate, such as the bullfly to the ox, and the dead fish to the man-eating shark, the most dangerous place is the most fertile place.

Back in the research room and turned on the terminal, the singer laboriously entered the private key, a string of meaningless random sentences. On the old-time screen with green characters on a black background, the oracle still showed stable operation, and the singer slumped back to his seat with a sigh of relief.

That's why singers spend most of their lives staying in the latest stars. He said one thing and did another, he got a bitter revenge for his relatives, and he got the job he hated the most for his life. It was for this reason that the oracle must be guarded.

Since the collective failure of the self-rotating clock (of course, this history has not been written in the latest star textbook), many civilizations have jumped into the Matt universe by their own efforts, where time flows at the same speed again, there is no power to steal time, and there is no erasure of diversity. Existential mercantilism, the connection between people is more difficult but sincere.

But the Matt universe still has to be connected to other universes. If there is no connection, how will Matt Universe navigator Xiaoxin be like Guanyin Bodhisattva to save people from the world? Someone has to make sure that the oracle is feeding the truth so that Matt Universe knows what's going on with other civilizations.

"Actually, I'm Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, right?" Thinking of this, the singer smiled. He wanted to hang on to the crown several times to go to the Matter universe where he sang idyllic poetry. He was fed up with the near-infinite length of life and black holes. On the edge of the horizon, an almost endless spiritual time house.

"Latest" is equivalent to eternal calamity, and the singer envy Xia Zongyubing.

The singer had given Felipe an old Galileo telescope, an antique farther back than pre-modern. At that time, people thought that there was only the newest star (Earth) in the whole universe, the stars were twinkling outside, and it took five minutes for the grace of the sun to arrive.

Like the "Philosophy of New Cosmos Thought", after the appearance of the self-rotating clock, the entire discipline of cosmology has already shifted its paradigm. Scholars popularly use the coherence technology of the rotation clock to obtain the information of distant stars. The giant red star seen from the newest star may be dust that has been dead for 50 million years through the lens of the rotation clock. It is rare for Xiao Fei to see dead stars through the traditional ancient method. As a senior, the singer wishes him to continue to maintain romance in this short life.

Since the appearance of the self-rotating clock, the time zone has been forced to be unified, and the self-rotating clock has been revolving, implicated in all civilizations in the universe. Civilization is like a bamboo cicada stuck on a cotton thread, circling around the stick, piercing the air and crying loudly.

Huge empires need a consistent language, and the most difficult language to regulate in the universe is time. Whoever can take the basic unit of time for his own use can unify the universe. The so-called multiverse is long gone.

"Why does time have to be unified?" What used to be a hot philosophical question is now a sensitive one. There is a saying that this is an antique. Before the invention of interstellar travel, on the sphere of the latest star (Earth), human beings must work synchronously across time zones in order to meet the growth efficiency of Internet technology. Technology is greedy, and so is the universe.

History is the history of the victors.

Those who master time have time to write history.

The self-rotating clock reverses the limitation of physical space, exchanging time for space. In the last event of the death of the earth, a group of escapees jumped to a world hundreds of units away from the earth. The light from there was too late to announce the death of the earth. Looking at the earth hundreds of light years away with an ultra-high magnification telescope, it is still the ancestors who lived hundreds of years ago.

"Those who escaped did not know that the Earth had been renamed a supernova. Behind it was a large black hole, blocking half of the sky." The singer sighed.

"The black hole is the most democratic place in the entire galaxy!" The sweet voice of "New Progress News" continued to rotate.

The singer hates black holes the most, but he still needs black holes to provide stable power. Both self-rotating clocks and oracles need black holes. Because the gravity of the black hole stretches time infinitely, people re-weave time, speed up and slow down, and re-synchronize the spatial differences between each other on the astrolabe. In the past, developers were optimistic and generally believed that they would deliver the new consensus to all corners of the universe. The universe can finally sing together.

However, time was suddenly stolen one day. The words did not conform to the central dogma, and the time did not belong to you. It was like a bamboo cicada with a broken thread, which no longer revolved around the wooden stick in this life, but gradually became silent from the wailing, and finally collapsed to the ground.

Next to the screen of the terminal is a half-torn photo, which is a group photo of a group of young people wearing unicorn T-shirts. . In order to leave this photo, he tore up the left half of Matt and the other sinners a long time ago and burned it. It was a small resistance.

The great ape needs people to worship black holes and convince people that black holes are the center of power in the universe. "To believe in a black hole is to believe in the clock tower, and to believe in the clock tower is to believe in the rotating clock. The rotating clock brings convenience and civilization, and brings friends from far and wide. Therefore, we are more advanced, and we must cherish it." "New Progress News" continued to broadcast .

"This sentence is clearly said by Matt." The singer sighed again. The same slogan, spit out from the news anchor is really disgusting. The singer glanced at the photo again and used memory to recall the missing half.

Due to the infinity caused by the horizon of the black hole, the lives of citizens living in the latest stars are almost infinite, and citizens are not very suspicious of the "New Progress News" statement. They appreciate the immortality brought by the black hole, and at the same time transfer their gratitude to the spokesperson of the black hole, that is, the Great Ape Society that controls the clock tower.

The singer knows that everything is not like this. This nonsense makes the universe lose the opportunity to grow independently, so in the past, he and his accomplices transformed the rotation clock into an oracle, so that civilizations that were separated from the rotation clock but lost their voices can maintain contact and bury multiple civilizations. Tinder, let it ferment slowly with constant speed.

Therefore, he must stay in Xinxing, he must continue to teach the "Philosophy of Thought in the New Universe", and he must ensure the correctness of the oracle machine, so Chen Jian is very important.

"Is Chen Kai coming?" The singer couldn't help but turned on the TT machine, and found that Xiaoxin sent a message back through the oracle receiver.

"It's over." The singer put on his coat and rushed out of the door, leaving behind the terminal interface that he forgot to log out of, flickering.

 Postscript As a science fiction fan, this is my first time participating in storytelling, and my first time writing a fictional novel. I try to tell the backstory of Matt, the rotating clock, the black hole and the newest star in the tone of an academic professor (and also an underground rebel?).

I also try to incorporate some basic blockchain concepts into the story, such as:
1. The Interstellar File System (IPFS) is the article storage system currently used by Matters, and it is also a service built on the blockchain Filecoin concept.
2. Oracle is a very important function in blockchain services. Its job is to import information from outside the blockchain world into the blockchain, such as today's temperature, stock market prices, voting results, etc. How to trust the input information of the oracle machine is a very important and difficult problem.
3. Bored Ape is a well-known NFT avatar product in the blockchain world recently. Its background story is that the apes in the future world will have no mines to mine, so they are too bored and have to play games by themselves.
4. Manipulate time: In the blockchain world, the time stamp is the block height (Block Height) instead of the epoch. There have been major attacks on the blockchain in history. Due to heavy losses, the validator decided to reverse the time , to reset the transaction record to zero, which is called a hard fork (Hard Folk). This story reminds me of the story of the self-rotating clock manipulating time, and it is quite inspiring for me.

Thanks to Jieping for putting forward the metaphor of the rotation clock and the attention algorithm. Compared with Facebook, which is already full of advertisements, I really like the friendly and warm interaction of everyone at Matters, especially this time Matters universe Solitaire exploration, every article is surprise me.

Finally, I named the professor Singer because in my favorite science fiction novel, The Three-Body Problem, the Singer is an interesting and charming character (the Star Bouncer), and this setting pays homage to him.

Thanks for reading, let's continue to see how the story plays out. (hands the stick
