Perfecting the theory of relativity?

It really was Tasanya!

Wu An gazed at the young pure-blood human before him!

If one were to choose the most influential scientist in later generations, Tasanya would undoubtedly be among them!

Regarding Tasanya, there were many evaluations of him by those who came after!

A giant of science!

A great man of the century!

Everything about him served to highlight the contributions Tasanya had made to the world!

Wu An could never have imagined that one day, he would come face-to-face with this scientific titan!

And what's more, he would have to help Tasanya perfect the theory of relativity!

"How do you know my name?"

Just then, Tasanya spoke up once more!

During the time Wu An had been silent, he had already looked Wu An up and down!

After all, Wu An's attire was simply too eye-catching!

Even Tasanya couldn't help but take an extra look!

This man...

How could he know who I am?

Tasanya was filled with suspicion and uncertainty!

Judging by Wu An's clothing and temperament, he definitely had a significant background!

Could it be...

That he was some noble lord?

Or perhaps a big shot from the royal family?

Tasanya was suddenly startled!

Wu An heard this and smiled indifferently!

"Albert Tasanya, where we come from, who doesn't know that name?"

Wu An remained neither humble nor pushy, his tone overflowing with immense confidence!

Even when facing a scientific giant and great man of the century like Tasanya, Wu An felt not a shred of fear in his heart!

"Am I that famous?"

Tasanya looked completely bewildered!

He was only twenty-six years old, had no achievements to his name, and spent his days holed up at home conducting research!

One could say he was a veteran shut-in!

How could he be so famous, according to Wu An?

"You might not be able to understand!"

"But you can think of it this way: I come from the future!"

"In the future, you are very famous!"

Wu An said calmly!

What!!!

Tasanya looked shocked!

He could never have dreamed in his wildest dreams that the answer Wu An gave would be this!

The future?

The past?

This... this was simply too incredible!

Suddenly, Tasanya's eyes lit up!

For some time now, he had been researching a hypothesis!

If speed reached the speed of light, would time stand still?

If speed exceeded the speed of light, would time flow backward?

Therefore, Wu An's words had a profound impact on him!

"Well, I've come from afar—aren't you going to invite me in to sit for a while?"

Wu An said indifferently!

"Please, this way!"

Hearing this, Tasanya hurriedly led the way for Wu An, bringing him into the room!

At the same time, the look he cast toward Wu An was filled with intense disbelief!

Did Wu An really come from the future?

If it were true!

Then it would prove that the hypothesis he had been researching was not wrong!

The past and the future were not insurmountable!

It was just that the conditions were lacking!

If the conditions were sufficient, it would be entirely possible to travel from the future back to the past!

Soon, the two arrived inside the room!

Tasanya's room was very messy!

Manuscripts were scattered all over the floor!

The manuscripts were covered in dense, cramped writing!

There were also all sorts of formulas and conjectures!

Wu An only had to glance at them casually to feel his scalp tingle!

Complex!

It was truly too complex!

With the help of the system, he could accurately and flawlessly understand the content on the manuscripts!

But the more he understood, the more Wu An felt a headache coming on!

The content on the manuscripts had completely and utterly exceeded the scope of Wu An's knowledge!

It was as if an elementary school student were looking at university-level advanced mathematics!

And trying to understand it, at that?

How could that not give one a headache?

Fortunately, Wu An shifted his gaze away in time!

"I'm sorry, I haven't tidied up, so it's a bit messy..."

Seeing Wu An's expression, Tasanya said, feeling embarrassed!

He thought that Wu An was looking down on him!

"It's fine!"

"It looks like you didn't sleep last night?"

Wu An shook his head and asked!

This was actually very easy to deduce!

Whether it was the exhaustion on Tasanya's face or the manuscripts with ink that hadn't yet dried, it was enough to prove that the other party had stayed up all night!

He hadn't expected that this great man of the century was not only a veteran shut-in!

But also enjoyed "cultivating immortality"!

"You could even tell that!"

Tasanya said helplessly!

"Not only did I not sleep last night, but for the past few months, I haven't slept at night at all!"

"My daily sleep time doesn't exceed three hours!"

Tasanya whispered!

Hearing this, Wu An narrowed his eyes.

He had already guessed why Tasanya was like this!

However, he still asked:

"Can you tell me why?"

After Wu An finished speaking, he watched Tasanya intently!

"It's a hypothesis!"

"I know for a fact that this hypothesis exists, but I just can't prove it!"

"No matter what formulas or theories I use!"

"I get halfway through, and I can't continue the proof!"

"But I can clearly feel that my hypothesis shouldn't have any problems!"

Tasanya's face was twisted in agony!

It was like a thirsty traveler in the desert who knew water and meat lay just ahead, yet found them completely out of reach!

The torment of being unable to grasp it made Tasanya feel as though he would rather die!

"What hypothesis!"

Wu An asked again!

"This hypothesis, I have already made public at the International Newspaper Office!"

"It is no secret!"

"It concerns the relationship between time and speed!"

"When speed reaches a certain threshold, can it influence time?"

Tasanya answered truthfully!

It was exactly as expected!

Wu An's spirit stirred!

Although he did not understand the theory of relativity either!

He was at least familiar with its most famous question regarding time and speed!

Furthermore, the theory of relativity had not yet been proposed at this time!

Tasanya only possessed a rudimentary conjecture!

"Can you tell me about the problems you have encountered?"

Wu An asked!

Regardless of anything else, the system's main quest required Wu An to help Tasanya perfect the theory of relativity!

Even if Wu An himself only had a half-baked understanding of it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet!

"Good! Of course I can!"

Tasanya agreed readily!

In his eyes, Wu An, a man from the future, was very likely capable of helping him in this regard!

"It is the question of the speed of time!"

"The faster the speed, if one reaches the speed of light, will time stop?"

Tasanya threw the question out directly!

Upon hearing this, Wu An was momentarily stunned!

Tasanya was truly Tasanya!

Every question he posed was so critical!

Fortunately, although Wu An could not wrap his own head around it either!

That did not stop him from simply reciting the conclusion...

"It is very simple!"

Wu An's expression was indifferent, appearing profound and unfathomable!

"When speed reaches the speed of light, time does indeed stop!"

"However, this is only relative!"

"The time that stops is only that of the matter reaching the speed of light!"

"As for everything else, from their perspective, time has not stopped!"

Wu An said calmly!

At first, Tasanya was merely listening intently!

But as he listened, he became increasingly shocked!

In the end, his face was filled with profound awe!

Suddenly, he jumped to his feet!

"That's it!"

"That is exactly it!"

"No matter how time is affected, the Earth, and even the universe, will not change!"

"Everything is merely relative!"

Tasanya said, enunciating every word!

"Are you, perhaps, the God of Science?"

"Such a profound theory, one that would require me a lifetime to prove, was spoken by you so casually!"

Following this, Tasanya looked at Wu An with a face full of worship!

It was as if Wu An were his faith!

In particular, Wu An's calm and indifferent expression at this moment filled him with the utmost reverence!

This man was absolutely the God of Science!

Otherwise, how could he be so composed after stating such a magnificent conclusion?
