Chapter 197: 290 chapters, the moon girl whispered
290 chapters, the moon girl whispered...
29o chapters, the moon girl whispered...
Liu Guozong
The city boy, silly and foolish, somehow came up with a few lines of bad poetry, the sour smell stinging the nose, making people uncomfortable.
The moon girl said: "Your question is too simple, too naive. You Earthlings don't even know where the earth you live on comes from, yet you ask where the universe comes from."
"How would I know where the universe comes from? How old is the universe? How old is the earth?" The city boy countered the moon girl.
"Our universe is already 2oo billion years old, and the earth where you humans live is already 4.6 billion years old."
The moon girl said.
"Your words have confused me. What do you mean by 'our universe'? Could there also be 'their universe'?"
The city boy asked the moon girl, puzzled.
"Yes, you asked well. Besides our universe, there are universes beyond the universe. The universe has no edge. What I told you about our universe refers to the galaxies visible to the eye."
In the vast expanse of space, there are many galaxies invisible to the eye, heavens beyond heavens. We, whom you Earthlings call aliens, have observed space for 1.5 billion years, confirming that beyond the universe there is still another universe.
The city boy became more confused the more he listened.
The moon girl looked at the bewildered city boy and further explained: "Our universe refers to the solar system; your earth, including our moon, are merely two minor planets in the solar system."
The solar system includes all the planets and meteors that orbit the sun. And the solar system is merely a small part of the Milky Way galaxy.
You Earthlings, on clear nights, see the river formed by countless stars in the sky—that is the 'Milky Way'. Traveling from one side of the Milky Way to the other at the speed of light would take 1o million years.
And in space there are countless 'Milky Ways'. You say where does this universe come from? Where should we go? You earthly scholars babble nonsense like 'Universe, universe, are you a limited hollow sphere? Or are you an infinite solid?' Isn't that too simple and naive?
