"If science is the water droplets on the lotus leaf, then the unknown is the bottomless lake below the lotus leaf."
Albert Einstein once said: When science comes to an end, it is found that God has been waiting there for thousands of years.
Why did he say that?
Fermi's paradox, parallel universes, quantum entanglement, dark matter, cosmic rays...
Since the development of theoretical science, these scientific problems of all mankind have left us unlimited room for reverie.
Is it true that with the progress of scientific and technological civilization, these unsolved mysteries of mankind and the problems encountered by the scientific community really cannot be solved, and can only hope for theology?
What exactly did Einstein say before his death?
The main text begins
One is quantum mechanics, jointly proposed by several physicists, to study very small particles;
The other is Einstein's theory of relativity, which studies objects that exceed the average size.
As one of the greatest scientists in human history, Einstein had a very high IQ and single-handedly created the theory of relativity.
But this great man was slow-behaved, withdrawn, and had a different IQ than others when he was a child, and did not go to school until he was 10 years old.
Born into a Jewish family in Germany, he was ridiculed and bullied at school for personality reasons, and was even called a "stupid guy".
In such a harsh environment, the lonely Albert Einstein entered middle school and began to travel in mathematical books in search of spiritual sustenance. During this period, his closest companions were Newton, Descartes, and Archimedes.
When he was 16 years old, he asked his uncle, who tutored him in mathematics, a question: "If I run forward at the same speed as light, can I see the vibrations of electromagnetic waves in space?" ”
His uncle was suddenly overwhelmed by this problem.
The germ of relativity took root in Einstein's mind from this time.
Einstein then proposed special relativity in 1905 and general relativity in 1915.
According to general relativity, he made many hypotheses and predictions, many of which have been confirmed by modern physicists.
Including the world-shocking black hole confirmed in 2019, as well as the previously demonstrated deflection of light in gravity, gravitational redshift, gravitational time delay effect, etc.

The first prophecy is wormhole theory.
Albert Einstein once said that the universe is vast, and even if the universe observed by humans has reached 13.7 billion light years, it is still only the tip of the iceberg of the universe.
The universe is so big, how can we reach the depths of the universe in a finite life?
In 1930, Einstein proposed the wormhole theory, which he believed that the universe was not a flat space, and it was full of various gaps, commonly known as wormholes.
Through wormholes, humans can reach the other side from one side of the universe in a very short period of time.

The second prophecy is that if the bees disappear, humans will only live for four years.
Why?
Because of the 1330 crops currently known on Earth, as many as 1000 rely on bees for pollination.
Therefore, if the bees disappear, it will directly cause these crops to be unable to continue to grow.
With the advancement of science and technology, humans have also caused a certain degree of damage to the environment, due to the flood use of pesticides and pesticides, the species and number of bees have dropped sharply by as much as 30% in recent years.
It is hard to imagine that if the bees do disappear one day, what will be the future of humanity?
The third prophecy is World War IV.
Einstein once answered a question about the world war and said: I don't know how the Third World War will fight, but I am sure that the weapons of the Fourth World War will be sticks and stones.
Why is that?
Albert Einstein believed that with the continuous progress of modern science and technology, a variety of advanced weapons emerged in an endless stream, and the development of nuclear weapons changed modern warfare. In the event of a global war, the whole world will produce a large area of nuclear radiation, and human civilization will be destroyed.
Without technology, humanity will return to ancient times, relying on sticks and stones to fight.
One legend has been passed down that Einstein burned manuscripts and notes before his death.
There is widespread speculation about why Einstein did this, focusing on two ideas:
First, in his later years, Einstein discovered the ultimate secret of the universe and developed a weapon that was more powerful than nuclear weapons. He had been remorseful about the invention of nuclear weapons, and now he has a bigger invention, and for the fate of mankind, he would rather burn it than pass it on to the world.
Second, Einstein devoted himself to the study of relativity in his early years and the unified field theory in his later years. His aim was to unify the 4 fundamental forces of action in nature into a physical framework, but no progress was made until his death. So Einstein, in order to avoid his research reaching a dead end and prevent his future reputation from being affected, burned the manuscript.
However, these are only speculations of later generations, and have no practical basis.
According to the data, as early as 1950, Einstein made a will, donating all his property, manuscripts, and notes to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
After Einstein's death, his daughter Margot complied with her father's wishes and donated manuscripts, notes, and letters to hebrew universities.
Einstein left a letter to his daughter before his death, and it was not made public until 20 years after his death.
No one could understand my theory of relativity, and now I want to uncover what has been passed on to mankind and will be even more prejudiced and misunderstood with the human world. I demand that these letters be kept as long as possible, until society progresses to the point where it is understandable what I have said below. There is a source of energy, which is endless and has no scientifically plausible explanation. It is a life force that dominates everything else, overriding all phenomena that move through the universe, and has not even been defined. This life force is called "love." As scientists struggle to find an undefined unified theory of the universe, they forget most of the invisible forces that are full of power. Love is light that can enlighten those who give and receive it. Love is gravity because love can make people attracted to each other. Love is energy because it produces the best things in human beings and eliminates deep levels of selfishness. Love can cover up and reveal, because love makes us alive, and because of love, we will eventually die. Love is God. This fills our lives with meaning, a variable that we have ignored for too long, perhaps our fear of love, because it is an energy that humans cannot yet control at will. In order for love to be more clearly manifested, I have used this equation instead. If it were not for E = mc^2, we would receive the energy to heal the world, which can be obtained by multiplying love by the square of the speed of light. We come to the conclusion that love is the most powerful force because it has no limits. After humanity has been unable to use and control the energy that opposes us in all the rest of the universe, we desperately need another energy to nourish. If we want species to survive, if we find the meaning of life, if we want to save the world and every living being, the only answer is love. I deeply regret that I have not been able to express my heart in this life, and for this I have been whipped by you all my life. Maybe it's too late to say sorry now, but I need to tell you: "I love you and thank you for letting me find the final answer!" ”
As a giant in the scientific and physical circles and a genius among geniuses, Einstein has achieved countless scientific research achievements in his life, leading the latecomers to move forward in the field of science. His theories are like beacons in the vast sea, guiding the direction of human progress. It not only unlocks the shackles of human thought, but also promotes the progress of the physics, the scientific community and even the whole world!
Einstein once thought that the end of science was theology, so he spent the rest of his life trying to find answers.
In the end, his legacy to us, in addition to the great scientific research results, but also pointed out that human beings want to continue to develop, must find the only answer - "love".
Science is a general term for a human way of exploring the unknown, and it has been constantly evolving and evolving. Looking back at the history of human scientific exploration, every time a bottleneck is encountered, it is the result of the perseverance and hard work of all human scientists in the case of unknown road ahead.
It is these scientists who, time and again, break through doubts and unknowns, leading humanity to a higher level of civilization.
