I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 171 - 158: Matter Tells Space-Time How to Curve, Space-Time Tells Matter How to Move (Please Subscribe)

Lynn’s words instantly ignited the entire room; even Rafael, who was responsible for maintaining order at the seminar, felt a bit unsettled.

If Lynn’s previous remarks were seen as digging at the foundation of the magic community, now it seemed like he was trying to kick down the entire edifice of magic!

"Lord Lynn, this is no time for jokes!" Rafael looked at Lynn with a very serious expression, and said solemnly, "Didn’t your previously proposed laws of free fall and the doctrine of celestial orbits prove the influence of gravity?"

Rafael truly did not understand why the other party would suddenly blurt out such radical views, wasn’t this metaphorically slapping his own face?

Others, sharing Rafael’s confusion, were numerous, and some even thought that Lynn must be mad, or that he was deliberately spouting bizarre theories to capture their attention.

Amidst the chorus of doubt, Lynn spoke again, "In my view, what we call gravity, is essentially just a phenomenon of the curvature of space-time!"

The prevailing theory in Wizard Land was that gravity affected and twisted space, but Lynn reversed the causality; he argued that it was the change in space that caused the phenomenon of gravity!

Immediately, someone stood up to challenge him, "If it’s not the work of gravity, then what kind of force is causing space to deform?"

"Of course, it’s mass!" Lynn stated decisively, "The reason we feel the effects of gravity or gravitational pull, is precisely because of the massive mass of the planet beneath our feet, which warps space-time, forcing us to fall toward the center..."

Harrov and a few wizards specializing in Force Field Magic wore a thoughtful expression.

Meanwhile, the certified wizards felt their brains were not quite up to the task; every sentence Lynn said continuously challenged the limits of their imagination and thinking ability!

Gravity doesn’t actually exist, or rather, it’s just a phenomenon, with space itself pulling them in a certain direction.

This invisible and intangible change in space was hard to understand for many wizards, especially since they couldn’t visualize how space could be twisted in such a way.

Lynn did not offer an elaborate explanation, but shifted to the side, and behind him on a high platform was a round piece of cloth made from the skin of a feathered serpent, extremely elastic.

It lay simply on a metal frame, stretched taut.

Everyone in the room curiously turned their attention, as Lynn picked up a ten-kilogram sphere and placed it in the center of the round cloth.

The next moment, the previously flat cloth sagged instantly, with the sphere at the center forming a curved surface, its curvature decreasing as it extended outward.

"This is exactly what we call gravitational pull!"

Lynn took out a one-kilogram sphere from his pocket, casually placing it at one edge of the curved surface before letting go.

Every eye in the seminar was glued to the scene, with wizards in the back standing up, some even using distance-viewing magic, all to see more clearly.

Without Lynn exerting any extra force, the ball automatically rolled toward the center along the curve of the surface.

"So that’s it, gravity... this is gravity!" exclaimed a high wizard, barely able to contain his excitement, picturing a three-dimensional cloth collapsing inwards from all directions, drawing objects toward the center.

Lynn, without waiting for the crowd to recover, picked up another sphere, gave it a push at a different angle, imparting an initial velocity, and the sphere changed its motion, no longer falling straight down but instead revolving continuously around the large central sphere along the curved surface.

"Celestial orbits, these are the celestial orbits!" another one shouted excitedly.

All the wizards’ eyes were focused on the one-meter diameter white cloth; they faintly felt they were not just staring at a few spheres, but at the grand panorama of the cosmos!

Lynn very intuitively used a piece of elastic leather to show the warping and collapsing of three-dimensional space in the form of a two-dimensional curved surface!

However, the warping of time could not be presented in such an intuitive way.

Fortunately, it was enough; the simple experiment was merely to help these wizards better understand the phenomenon that the curvature of space created gravitational attraction.

Lynn looked at the seminar attendees, some excited, some in a daze, some thrilled, some fervent, and once again summed up his statement.

"Therefore, I believe that gravity is a geometric effect caused by the curvature of space-time, matter tells space-time how to curve, while space-time tells matter how to move!"

Matter tells space-time how to curve, space-time tells matter how to move... Wizards with even a slight understanding of Force Field Magic repeatedly pondered these words.

Exquisite, truly exquisite!

This is the essence of Space-Time Magic!

"Lord Lynn, based solely on your presentation today, you are more than deserving of a nomination for the Corona Medal!" sighed a high wizard who was in charge of maintaining order at the venue, looking at Lynn’s somewhat youthful face.

At the last seminar, the legendary wizard Harro had announced that Lynn should be awarded the Corona Medal, and he was somewhat resentful. The opponent indeed presented a star map that went against the mainstream theory, but it wasn’t to the extent of awarding the Corona Medal; a Silver Moon Medal would suffice!

But now it seemed that although Lynn was only a certified wizard, his understanding of gravity and space was far beyond his own.

Everything said today could serve as a foundation for the study of Space Magic; some fanatics even recorded Lynn’s description of matter and space-time verbatim, even if they didn’t understand, it would always be useful when discussing and boasting with others in the future.

"I have another question... why doesn’t our planet beneath our feet plunge into the Sun under the influence of gravity, just like that small ball?" asked Rafael, puzzled.

The second sphere that Lynn dropped, although continuously revolving along the curved surface during its fall, diminished in amplitude and would eventually be pulled to the side of the large sphere.

"That’s because, in a vacuum, there’s no air resistance; the stars’ speed does not reduce, creating a balance with gravity, and of course, they don’t crash into the Sun," Lynn explained.

Rafael thought for a moment, then realized that the previous sphere was gradually approaching the center because its speed was slowly decreasing, drawing on an ever-shrinking orbit, until it finally fell into the center of the curved surface.

So that was it!

With an epiphany, Rafael’s many previous confusions about celestial orbits were instantly resolved.
