Inside Cambridge University's lecture hall.

As Li Qiwei stepped down from the podium, Hubble's speech officially came to an end.

Yet the impact of what had been presented in that speech was only just beginning.

Everyone could already imagine the sheer shock this conference would bring to the academic world!

Eddington presided:

"Next, please welcome—"

The conference continued.

With Hubble's brilliant presentation setting the bar, the later speakers shared only ordinary-level achievements.

Yet the discussions among the crowd grew even more heated.

For many present, both Dark Matter and Dark Energy lay beyond the scope of their research.

Rather than reaching for the stars, it was better to keep their feet on the ground.

The four-day Second International Astronomical Union Conference came to a successful close.

Surrounded by the crowd, Li Qiwei took another group photo with the giants of astronomy.

Standing at the center, he seemed to lead the children of the stars in exploring the mysteries of the universe.

Before parting, Li Qiwei spoke again with Hubble, Eddington, Hale, and the others, sharing his vision for astronomy's future.

"The radio telescope in Borneo, and even the space telescopes to come, are only short-term goals."

"At present, theoretical astronomy has already far outpaced actual observation."

"So I believe theoretical work can slow down a little and focus first on laying a solid material foundation."

"Whether Dark Matter or Dark Energy, they are still a little too far off for astronomy as it stands."

"That is also why I spoke less about Dark Energy at the end. For now, it carries little practical significance."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

For astronomy, observing the starry sky was equivalent to conducting experiments.

And now, every theory proposed by Professor Bruce had gone beyond the bounds of experimentation.

The Big Bang Theory, the multiverse,
