Back Then, We Used Quantum Entanglement Communication
"Before that, we used Quantum Entanglement -based Hyperdistance Communication."
???
What?
While everyone was still confused, the Rhomboid Crystal continued, "In fact, after a billion years of effort, some of our scientists have even come to believe that Cosmic Civilization are just a fantasy, a level that seems feasible but can never be broken through, because we have never seen Cosmic Civilization, until one day, our Quantum Hyperdistance Communication suddenly failed."
"Huh? You mean Quantum Hyperdistance Communication? What do you mean by Hyperdistance Communication failure?" Liu Miyan asked blankly, thinking he had misheard.
Unexpectedly, the Rhomboid Crystal replied, "It's exactly what you mean: quantum super-communication, a method of communication that utilizes Quantum Entanglement to achieve real-time, long-distance communication. I originally communicated with the other 'Drift Bottle' using Quantum Hyperdistance Communication, but it failed. Because of this, communication between me and my civilization, and between me and the other 'messages in Drift Bottle,' was severed and hasn't been restored. Therefore, I don't know what has happened to our civilization, where it is, whether it successfully reached its destination, or whether it has mastered a new method of Hyperdistance Communication. Aside from knowing that my civilization understands what the failure of Quantum Hyperdistance Communication means, I know nothing about anything else concerning my civilization afterward. However, I am quite certain that the Quantum Hyperdistance Communication function in my program is not malfunctioning; it is the universe that has changed."
In my information records, that was right after the 'Drift Bottle Project' was completed, at the very beginning of the Great Voyage. At the start of my civilization's voyage, I used the most primitive Electromagnetic Wave to store this message in our information storage device, and then resolutely led countless civilizations on the Great Voyage Road.
Previously, we used Quantum Hyperdistance Communication!
Previously, the spooky effect of Quantum Entanglement could be used for Hyperdistance Communication!
Unannounced voices echoed in everyone's minds, and they knew they had overheard a tremendous secret.
Those who knew the significance of this news were truly shocked, utterly shocked.
According to the Rhomboid Crystal, previous civilizations used Quantum Hyperdistance Communication, but it suddenly failed and has not been restored to this day.
What does this mean? It means that the physical laws of the universe have changed. The physical rules of the universe cannot change on their own without a reason, so there is only one answer: the physical rules of the universe have been modified by some entity.
Hyperdistance Communication based on quantum ghosting has failed; it has gone from being able to transmit valid information to being unable to transmit valid information.
Yes, this is something that humans have known for a long time. Quantum Entanglement really exists. Its spooky entanglement effect can transmit information over long distances, but it cannot transmit effective information.
This is because quantum mechanics is in a superposition state. When two quantum Quantum Collapse, it is impossible to determine whether the collapse was caused by the other quantum mechanic measuring first, or by one quantum mechanic measuring first.
To give a simple example, if we place a quantum entangled with each other in the Solar System and on Proxima Centauri, then when the quantum in the Solar System collapses from its entangled state, an observer in the Solar System wouldn't know whether it was due to the Quantum Collapse on Proxima Centauri or their own measurement. This is because, whether the quantum in the Solar System or the quantum on Proxima Centauri, their transition from a quantum superposition state to collapse is random when viewed individually. In other words, it's impossible to determine the cause from a single perspective; the situation must be considered in conjunction with that of the other quantum.
In terms of the other party's situation, it is necessary for the other party to tell you, that is, to transmit the relevant information to you at the speed of light.
But in this way, the effective information transmitted based on Quantum Entanglement cannot exceed the speed of light.
This is a conclusion that has been experimentally verified by humans: the spooky action at a distance of Quantum Entanglement does exist, but it cannot be used for effective information transmission.
But now the Rhomboid Crystal tells everyone present that Quantum Entanglement was once capable of transmitting effective information over long distances, serving as the principle for real-time communication over long distances, and is one of the fundamental physical laws of the universe.
The physical laws governing the universe cannot change at any time; otherwise, the universe wouldn't operate with such precision. This means that the unknown entity that negates Quantum Hyperdistance Communication at the level of physical laws, after altering this physical rule, can still ensure that other rules remain unaffected and operate flawlessly.
The laws governing the universe have remained unchanged; the only change is Quantum Hyperdistance Communication.
Humans cannot imagine the difficulty of altering the physical laws of the universe, but they know that such an operation is far better than recklessly changing those laws. Physicists have said that the universe is a precise instrument; if even a single constant changes by a tiny amount, then all of humanity, and even the entire universe, would cease to exist.
However, there is now an unknown entity that has changed the fundamental rules upon which Quantum Hyperdistance Communication depends. The entire universe, and even the civilizations that use Quantum Entanglement Hyperdistance Communication, have only experienced communication failures, rather than a complete disruption that alters the entire physical law system.
What incredible power this is!
Well, perhaps the laws of physics are not as fragile as humans imagine, so fragile that a single mishap could cause the entire universe to collapse. But the ability to directly modify fundamental physical laws and render the entire scientific and technological system built upon a certain physical law ineffective is probably only seen in novels.
But now the Rhomboid Crystal clearly tells humanity that such a thing exists in the universe, and that this technology was used Thirty Billion Years Ago to completely disable the real-time communication capabilities of quantum gap communication in the Milky Way Galaxy from the level of fundamental laws.
"After your civilization left the Milky Way Galaxy, was the Quantum Hyperdistance Communication system restored?" Yue Yuan asked while all the scientists were still deeply shocked.
The Rhomboid Crystal did not hide anything, saying, "I don't know. Maybe it's just the Milky Way Galaxy, maybe the entire Local Superinformation Group, maybe the entire Galaxy Great Wall, maybe the entire universe. Who knows! But one thing is certain: my civilization never discovered that existence before it passed on its last message to me."
Yue Yuan remained silent.
Even the Precursor had no idea what kind of existence it was.
This kind of attack, which alters the laws of physics, even at its lowest scale, covers the entire Milky Way Galaxy —what an incredibly powerful force that is!
But where did such beings go? Yue Yuan noticed that whether it was the top civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, the Awakeners, or the Precursor, they were all only Level Six Civilization, which is the category of Interstellar Civilization. So where did all the Cosmic Civilization go? What caused the rule changes Thirty Billion Years Ago? Was it a war between Cosmic Civilization?
If so, how extensive would this change in rules be? Does it mean that civilizations embarking on the Great Voyage might reach star systems where Quantum Hyperdistance Communication is still operational? If there have truly been wars in the universe that altered the laws of physics, are there other Starry Sky where the laws of physics have been modified? Could this be what the Awakeners meant by the perils of space travel?
Thinking of this, Yue Yuan couldn't help but ask again, "Does this mean that there are similar Starry Sky or phenomena in the Milky Way Galaxy?"
