I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 418 - 283: The Next Realm

Chapter 418: Chapter 283: The Next Realm

Translator: 549690339

The bottleneck of theoretical scientific breakthroughs is somewhat like a layer of window screen.

This layer is highly concealed and possesses two properties: tenacity and fragility.

Breaking through the bottleneck essentially means tearing this window screen. With the right approach and direction, this layer of screen can be as fragile as paper.

But if you go the wrong way, it becomes a barbed fishing net for capturing whales, both robust and sharp, capable of cutting one severely and causing instant death.

Once you tear the screen, you can see the vast world inside.

If you can’t break it, you would be lingering outside the door of truth for years, unaware of how close you ever came to it.

However, humans are ultimately a social group. Once the number of people with prior knowledge reaches a certain extent, small-probability events will become inevitable.

Even without Harrison Clark, in the coming decades, there will still be people who will gradually reach the window, extend their nails- – -embodying the spark of wisdom, and gently pierce the screen. Then, they will bend down to have a look inside, move to the side in ecstasy and exert all their lifelong strength to start prying open the heavy iron door leading to a new world.

Harrison Clark did all these things today and intends to do more in the future.

As for those illustrious successors, you guys can go and tackle more challenging peaks.

“Is…is it really true?”

Dr. Ethan Evans tentatively asked.

Harrison Clark counter-questioned: “What else could it be?”

He was just like Planck in his time, formulating all this pure theoretical stuff in his mind using just a sheet of drafting paper and a notebook. Nobody could refute him.

Do you oppose quantum physics?

Go ahead; then you go and create some fundamental particles that don’t shake in 1905.

If you succeed, I’ll kneel down to you.

The same goes for string theory.

By the 21st century, some formulas recorded in Planck’s notebooks from the late 19th century still could neither be falsified nor confirmed.

No one knew how far Planck’s thoughts had flown.

As humanity was just taking the first step from the starting point, the thoughts of a small group of people had already shot halfway to the finish line.

The greatest feature of pure theoretical research is that it leads the practical proof by many years due to numerous external conditions required.

The phenomenon that runs throughout human advancement is that thought goes first and the body follows one step at a time.

Of course, thoughts often stray, for example, ancient theories like a flat Earth, the Earth being the center of the universe, the theory of the chosen ones, the theory of God’s creation, etc. The impacts of these mistaken beliefs are long- lasting.

But in certain eras of confusion and chaos, these wrong ideas could still guide the way forward.

However, as they continue to advance, civilizations would discover the nature of their errors, then they will slowly change direction through pain and step onto another road which might be correct or perhaps just a bit closer to the truth.

Harrison Clark took the lead in walking on the path he knew to be correct, leaving behind correct thinking, igniting the torch of civilization, and then turning his head back to tell people behind him to quickly follow suit.

Looking at these globally renowned academics in the room, whose jaws dropped with speechless astonishment, Harrison Clark standing with hands clasped behind his back emitted an air of transcendence with a very amiable and friendly grin on his face.

Although it was expected, the “truth” coming directly from his mouth was still too astonishing.

And he was not even being modest about it.

Emotion made some people subconsciously want to refute it, implying that this was impossible, but reason told them that it was probably true.

All signs are indicating that Harrison Clark did not lie.

In the first half of the 20th century, there was a great explosion of theoretical science.

The intellectual explosions from people like Tesla, Planck, Einstein, Fermi, Dirac, and Chen-Ning Yang quickly raised the upper limit of human technology to the quantum level, then after a near-hundred-year half-stagnation, it seems that humanity has finally welcomed another torchbearer for theoretical science.

It was a cause for tearful sighs but also facing an undeniable fact.

He is a citizen of the UK.

This made them feel a bit uncomfortable. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

They were so unused to it, yet they were helpless.

No one had a clue that Harrison Clark was cursing himself in his heart.

He wasn’ t so conceited as to equate himself rightfully with the other torchbearers.

When people like Planck wrote notes, they used their own talents and wisdom.

As a bona fide cross-era academic lazybones, Harrison Clark “borrowed” the glories of countless successors and imposed them on himself.

He wished to be an honest person and live life more uprightly, but he could not The reality didn’ t allow him.

His time needed him to act the way he did.

He could not delegate this task to anyone else, so no matter what his true intentions were, he had to go ahead bravely.

Let s be a thief then, as long as his conscience was clear.

The one who steals a hook is punished, while one who steals a nation becomes a prince.

Harrison Clark didn’t know how his act of stealing back human civilization’s universal-era knowledge from time and space would be classified.

After everyone had almost recovered from their shock, Raulsen was the first to apologize.

Rubbing his dark circles, he said, “Mr. Clark, I want to explain something about yesterday. You left too quickly; we hadn’t been able to clarify everything.”

With a grin on his face, Harrison Clark replied, “So, it’s my fault now?”

A flustered Ethan waved his hands, “No, no, not at all. We just didn’t talk fast enough. But we have already processed Dr. Rainer’s resignation as swiftly as possible and made a public announcement on the official website of the academic institution and the Summit Research Institute. We’ve also completed the file handover with the Summit Research Institute.”

Shaking his head, Harrison Clark said, “Straight to resignation? That’s not appropriate. How much is the compensation for buying out the contract? You can’t owe him a penny.”
