Die on Mars - Chapter 209

c209 Day 325 (5) First there was Newton and then there was Heaven

Tang Yue’s hand stopped in front of the screen, dumbfounded.

He knew that some novice poker players were indecisive and indecisive, and liked to hold the big cards in their hands for a long time, thus delaying the opportunity to fight and ultimately losing the game.

“Four 5s? How is this possible? You have four 5s in your hand?”

“Yes, I have.”

“You held a bomb…in your hands for so long?”

“uh-huh.”

This girl Maidong doesn’t often play poker. She plays cards hesitantly and unorganized. Tang Yue can easily see this. In his opinion, Maidong, a newbie, does not pose a threat, so in the whole game, Tang Yue Yue Du was staring at Old Mao, and even ignored that there was no 5 in the whole game – three people played a deck of cards, and Maidong was able to catch four 5s of different colors.

This is like three people meeting to discuss swordsmanship at the top of Huashan Mountain. Tang Yue is Hong Qigong, Lao Mao is Ouyang Feng, Maidong is just little Guo Xiang, and Gang Leader Hong has mastered the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Subduing. Naturally, he will not treat the young Xiao In the girl’s eyes, his only opponent is the old poisoner who is also famous in the world.

Unexpectedly, the beggars from the West Poison and the North were fighting inextricably. The little girl smiled slightly and took out an American-made MK3 grenade from her pocket.

Tang Yue remembered that a long time ago, Mai Dong had only five cards left in his hand. At that time, the latter was already sure of victory. The reason why she didn’t drop the bomb was just to see Tang Yue’s joke and give him hope of winning. , let him jump like a grasshopper, and then strangle the grasshopper to death at the last moment.

Lao Mao has seen this a long time ago and knows that there is no hope of winning, so he might as well go with the flow.

Only Tang Yue is a smug idiot.

“You plotted against me.” Tang Yue was helpless and angry, and could only admit defeat, “You conspired to plot against me.”

“How can I plot against you? You and I are on the same front, we are both farmers, okay? Miss Maidong has a bomb in her hand, and I can’t hit it. This is force majeure.” The old cat shook his head, “Unless I also You can catch a pair of bombs, but the probability is too low.”

“I didn’t plot against you. Tang Yue, you will lose the game simply because…”

“Dish.” Old Cat interjected.

“No, no, no, I can be more euphemistic. I should say…” Maidong considered the words, “Vegetables.”

“You are Vegetables. If you have the ability, girl, come down and I will let you know what Vegetables’ anger is.”

“If you are able, come up. I’m waiting for you.”

“Come down if you can!”

“Come up if you can.”

“Come down!”

“Come up.”

“Come down!”

“Come up.”

“Come down if you can!”

“A little bit.”

“you!”

“Mai Dong’s poker skills are lower than mine. You can only win because you are so lucky. Do you know how small the probability of catching a bomb is when three people play a deck of cards?” Tang Yue sighed, “Why am I not like this? Good luck?”

“You have woolen luck.” The old cat curled his lips, “You only have athlete’s foot.”

“I’m telling you, I still have a temper.”

“Yes, yes, you still have a temper. Not only do you have a temper, you also have a third part of your vitality. You have such a great temper.” The old cat grunted, “You are so awesome, why don’t you go to heaven and stand side by side with Miss Maidong? ?”

The two of them played cards all night long. The lights were on in Kunlun Station until late at night, and the quiet stars climbed up the sky. The United Space Station entered the no-signal zone several times during the game, and the game was interrupted. They had to wait until the contact signal returned to normal. Then they continued to play, chatting while playing cards, all of which were irrelevant topics.

For example, “Can the Earth and the Moon be tied together with a rope strong enough?”

“Can enough water put out the sun?”

“How much information can be stored in a hard drive before the hard drive collapses into a black hole?”

Most of these questions can be answered by the old cat, but there are some questions that even the old cat cannot answer – such as the weird question raised by Tang Yue, “Can the cat and butter perpetual motion machine keep running until the end of the world?”

Everyone was sitting around and chatting leisurely, like hunters on the Arctic ice sheet huddled in an igloo, lighting a small whale oil lamp, rubbing their feet, and keeping warm by the faint firelight, even though it was dark outside. The storm was raging, but the heat didn’t leave the house.

Lao Mao tapped the screen and played a 10 of spades, “If you want the hard disk to collapse into a black hole, of course you can do it. As long as the information entropy stored in this hard disk is higher than the information entropy contained in a black hole of the same size, then this A hard disk will collapse into a black hole, for example, if a number as big as G (64) is stuffed into the hard disk.”

“G (64)?” Tang Yue followed up by playing a jack of diamonds, “What is that?”

“Graham’s number.” The old cat replied, “a mathematical monster, one of the largest computable numbers in the world. All quantity concepts that can be found in the physical world are so small that they are negligible in front of it.”

“How big is it? Can it be expressed in scientific notation?” Maidong asked, “How many powers of ten?”

“cannot.”

“Can your brain tolerate it?” Tang Yue asked.

“Obviously it’s impossible. You can’t intuitively feel the size of this number, but as long as I try to calculate it, it will be like this…” The old cat sat up straight, and his eyes suddenly became dull.

Next, Tang Yue saw smoke starting to come out from the top of the old cat’s head.

“Human beings cannot create a storage device that can fully accommodate and calculate the Graham number because there are not enough material particles in the universe.” The old cat shook his head and returned to normal.

“Not enough?” Tang Yue didn’t understand what this meant.

“The total number of all elementary particles in the entire observable universe, as well as all their permutations and combinations, is smaller than the number of T4 phages on a Staphylococcus aureus on Graham’s toes.” Old Mao said, “Also That is to say, even if you made the entire universe into a computer, it would not be able to count from 1 to G (64).”

Tang Yue shook his head and played a 2, “It’s completely unimaginable.”

“All the permutations and combinations of all the basic particles in the universe?” Maidong exclaimed, “This number is already too large to be imagined.”

“Don’t look for the maximum in the physical world, Miss Maidong. Any number that you think is incredibly large, once it is expressed using an exponent, is only a few centimeters long on the scratch paper. In our universe, , the largest number that really exists may be the Poincaré return time of the universe itself – that is, the time when all the basic particles in the entire universe have gone through a reincarnation and returned to the original point.” Old Cat said, “And this number is still not The T4 phage on a Staphylococcus aureus on Graham’s toes was as big as that.”

“First there was Newton, then there was Heaven. The Gregorian number is infinite.” The old cat continued, and played a little king by the way, “But there are still numbers larger than it in mathematics.”

“Blow it up! Tang Yue, where is your Italian cannon? Blow it up!”

“This is the only one I have on hand.” Tang Yue said, “If it explodes, it will be gone.”

“If you don’t blow it up, it will run away. Mr. Cat doesn’t have many cards in his hand.” Maidong urged from the other end of the channel, “Blow it up! Blow it up! Li Yunlong, you should shoot it. Don’t let me look down on you.”

“Okay, okay, just blow it up, I’ll blow up your king! Yamamoto Ikneko!” Tang Yue smashed out the only bomb in his hand, “Four 7s!”

“Four nines.”

(Author Jun’s gossip: Today, May 20, referred to as 520, is a very important day——

Today is National Student Nutrition Day. I hope everyone will eat well, pay attention to a balanced diet, and not be picky eaters.

Today is also World Metrology Day. I hope everyone will not forget the significant contribution made by the International Metric Convention Organization to ensure the unification of international measurement standards and promote international trade. )
