Chapter 35: The Unchanging Prophecy (2)

Using the weight of easy-to-weight water to calculate the tiny passage of time that is difficult to observe, this genius-like idea amazes Crodisi. But he sees Kaim setting up a wall of earth under the slope and running back in a hurry. He digs up a rock from the ground with his bare hands, rubs it constantly, and gradually turns it into a circle.

"The seventh set of data starts recording!"

In Ella's order, the previous scene was staged again. The poked rock rolled down the smooth slope, and rushed forward after destroying the earth wall, and broke through another house. The huge noise shocked Crodis and woke him up:

"Stop it! Do you know how many houses you have broken? Your experiment is too exaggerated!"

Ella didn't care: "What's the matter! Master, you have spent your whole life studying the astral body. If this experiment can make things clear and build a village again, how much time can it take!"

"I can't see what your experiment has to do with the astral body." Crodis stared at Ella, "You said that the astral body is moving, so you have to study the movement first. But the astral body in the sky is a perfect immortal thing. Will its movement rules be the same as those ordinary things on the earth?"

Ella still didn't care. Since she was a child, she had never cared about anything when she started experimenting: "If you can't even figure out the laws of movement on the ground, what should you use to study the laws of movement in the sky!"

"To explore the sky, do you have to understand the earth first..."

Although these words are simple, the philosophy contained in them has caused Crodis to fall into deep thought.

——Until another house was knocked down by the stones that Kaim put down. Crodis was shocked again and woke up.

"The seventh set of data records is completed!" Ella made a successful gesture, "Now start the eighth set!"

"Wait for me, how many sets do you want to perform this experiment?"

"There are more data and it is easier to study the rules." Ella shrugged, "Perhaps there are sixteen groups first?"

Group 16, if each group of stones can destroy two houses, then thirty-two houses will become victims of the experiment. But the reason Ella used is so legitimate. Crodisius did not know whether to stop it or not, so he could only blink his eyes and watch one stone after another rolling down the slope and destroy the village he had worked hard to build. He has infinite life, but this does not mean that he does not need property. The village on the top of the mountain is his property, and now half of it has been destroyed by huge rocks. Even the King of Ten Thousand Kings in the Tianfang Empire dare not do such a thing. Ella is even more awesome than the King of Ten Thousand Kings.

Finally, the sixteen groups of experiments were completed. Kaim began to run back and forth according to Ella's instructions to measure the distance between each earth wall and the slope top, as well as the weight of each group of stones. Ella himself began to measure the weight of water in the sixteen water cups and recorded the data.

Seeing that Ella stopped destroying the village, Crodis breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. He was also curious about what conclusion Ella could come to, so he watched silently. As for the village, at least half of it is left, and the rest is destroyed and built again.

Unexpectedly, Ella suddenly jumped up as if she remembered something: "Oh no!"

"What's wrong?" Crodis asked.

"Sixteen sets of data, each set of stone weight is different, and each set of soil walls is also different from the slope top. It is difficult to find any rules for the data measured in this way!"

Before Crodisius realized the seriousness of the matter, he asked lightly: "What should I do?"

"Now we have sixteen stones and sixteen distances. We need to add several sets of experiments, so that each stone can run these sixteen distances! We still need two hundred and forty sets of experiments!"

Crodis's body shook and almost fell off the cliff. Sixteen groups of experiments had already destroyed half of the village, and two hundred and forty groups of experiments, the entire village would turn into piles of rocks!

He finally understood what would Dust run down the village and hide.

Watching one stone after another rolling down from the top of the mountain, Crodis felt that his body and mind were sublimated - if it was destroyed, it would be fine to build it again. Well, anyway, it would be just to spend a little more time. What Crodis lacked the least is time.

Before we knew it, it was daytime, and Ella's experiment was finally completed. A total of 256 sets of data were divided into sixteen groups according to the stones. Each group was marked with the distance between the earth wall and the top of the slope, as well as the weight of the water received in the container.

Ella stared at the data for a long time.

"Master," Ella asked, "what do you think?"

"I see that the distance increases faster than the water." Crodish replied, "It means that the stone is getting faster and faster as it rolls down."

“What would you think if I increased the slope a little?”

“The stone will roll faster.”

“What if the slope increases to vertical?”

"That's the fastest situation, just like something falling directly from the air to the ground - wait a moment, the speed is getting faster and faster?"

Crodis realized something was wrong. This natural conclusion had some conflict with Aristotle's inference.

"Sure enough, you realized it too." Ella stared at this set of data. "In Aristotle's theory, the heavy object should be at a constant speed when it falls. This is already the third loophole in Aristotle's movement theory I discovered."

"The third? What are the other two?"

Ella ignored Crodis's problem, but drew two horizontal and vertical lines on the paper. She used the weight of water as the horizontal coordinate and the distance as the vertical coordinate, and pointed a set of sixteen data onto the paper.

"What is this?" Crodisi has never seen such a way of representing data.

"The axis, my invention. Using it to process data can make it easier to discover the connection between this set of data. What we have to do now is connect these points."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Connect?" Crodisius gestured a twisting line on the paper with his hand. Ella shook his head, "I always have a little error when measuring. If I am too accurate, I can't see the rules. I have to be a little rough."

As she said that, she drew a curve casually and did not pass through each point accurately, but passed through the middle of these points with a rough trend.

"So that's it." Ella looked at the drawn line and nodded. "The distance from the stone rolling down is proportional to the square of time. With twice the time, the stone can pass four times the distance."

"Wait a minute..." Crodis could no longer keep up with Ella's thoughts, "How did you see this?"

"I know when I see this line. This is mathematical experience. If you don't believe me, please check it?"

Crodis checked the data measured by Ella according to the rules mentioned by Ella. As he said, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. If this messy set of data was asked to find the rules, it would probably take several months, but Ella only glanced.

"But... there is another problem. According to this rule, wouldn't it mean that the speed of the stone is increasing every moment when it falls?"

"Is there any problem?"

"If speed is related to time, doesn't it mean that before the stone reaches a certain speed, it needs to go through an infinite intermediate speed, and cannot reach that speed in an instant? Isn't this absurd? How can an ordinary thing produce infinite changes in a limited time?"

Ella silently drew a square with one side length and made its diagonal: "Do you know what the distance of this diagonal is? It is a finite length, but there are infinite numbers of digits after the decimal point. You can't understand the infinite in finite, but for me, it is already the same thing as common sense."

Crodisius finally found that he could not participate in Ella's research. The gap between them was far beyond his expectations.
