“By the way, when intermediate and advanced civilizations from the Milky Way left for other parts of the universe, some ventured into the vast cosmos, while others explored the multiverse. How does the Milky Way receive updates about them? Did some of these civilizations feel homesick and return to share their stories with you?”
Buweiro was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Homesick? Visiting? Hahaha, your question is quite humorous. No, once they leave, these civilizations never come back. The universe isn’t like a long road trip where you drop by to visit old friends or family.
The universe is so vast that flying in any random direction leads to an infinite journey. There’s simply no time to return. Even civilizations that reach the mythical, immortal God-Level status cannot fully explore the entire grand universe or multiverse.
The reason the Milky Way receives information about those who left is through quantum entanglement communication. You’ve probably heard of quantum entanglement, right? It was only some time ago that you humans discovered its wonderful uses and even made fun of the deceased genius scientists. This is actually disrespectful to your ancestors, because the achievements of each period are subject to the limitations of the time.
As for your scientists’ current understanding of invisible particles, humanity hasn’t yet developed the ability to transmit information via quantum entanglement. You will need to reach a Primary Civilization, fully master the speed of light, and understand cosmic space to unlock the broader applications of quantum entanglement.
During this meeting, I can give you a brief glimpse into the technology of quantum entanglement communication. By fusing neutrinos with quantum particles, you can transmit information across any distance. The exact method of fusion, however, will require the effort of your scientists.
In fact, the uses of quantum entanglement are far more than these. Since quantum particles belong to the microscopic, intangible realm, they permeate everything. Even if you travel to different dimensional planes or alternate realities, quantum entanglement can still enable communication—for instance, inside black holes or cosmic cracks.
Intermediate Civilizations use quantum entanglement coding sensing technology to detect dangerous spaces. Since quantum particles are intangible and lack physical form, even the immense gravitational pull of a black hole cannot destroy them. Civilizations outside these hazardous areas can observe the entangled particles to gain insights into the conditions within.
Of course, quantum entanglement will be difficult to sense if it encounters a special multiverse, and only with the help of instruments can induction communication be reestablished. Some incomprehensible multiverses can only be seen with help of instruments. If you rashly enter, you will be separated from your world forever.”
It has been confirmed that extraterrestrial civilizations transmit information using a combination of quantum entanglement and neutrinos. I made a mental note of this but hesitated to ask detailed questions about the inner workings of the multiverse. After all, it would likely involve complex theoretical knowledge that I might not fully understand. Instead, I decided to stick to simpler questions.
“Wow! Quantum entanglement is so incredible! By the way, what’s the deal with the Great Attractor in the universe? I saw a video on my phone saying that our Milky Way, along with a vast area of nearby galaxies, dust, and various materials, is being pulled toward this Great Attractor. It’s terrifying how immense its gravitational pull must be!
Our scientists think the Great Attractor might be a supermassive black hole, but instruments haven’t detected matter being disintegrated as they’d expect from a black hole. Some also suggest it could be a spatial tunnel to the multiverse. I’m really curious—what’s the truth?”
“Alright, I can explain it to you in simple terms. The Great Attractor is like a crack, with a vortex-shaped super black hole at its center. I told you before that cracks or holes will appear anywhere and in any space. The universe is no exception, but the holes are big and small, and most of them are naturally formed.
You know how vortexes are formed in rivers. When there are holes in the riverbed, the water flows down in a vortex shape, sucking in all the small objects around it and sweeping them all into another place, which is an underground river.
The Great Attractor discovered by humanity is somewhat analogous to such river whirlpools or vortexes. There are many cracks and voids of varying sizes in the universe. Due to the principles of cosmic gravity, these voids are usually calm, and even spacecraft passing through them are unaffected.
In most cases, cosmic cracks have no suction force, but sometimes, if they encounter a flowing or moving supermassive black hole, the combination of the two will become a Great Attractor similar to a supermassive black hole. Once a Great Attractor is formed, its gravity will pull all the surrounding matter, and its range and power will be more vast than you can imagine.
However, when one of these rifts coincides with a moving or active supermassive black hole, the two can merge to form something akin to the Great Attractor—an entity that surpasses a black hole in scale. Once a Great Attractor forms, its gravitational pull is immense, dragging in all surrounding matter. Its scope and power are far more vast than anything you could imagine.”
Seeing my expression change, Buweiro reassured me:
“However, the chances of a Great Attractor forming are extremely small. First, because of the immense gravitational forces in the universe, the likelihood of cracks appearing in space is very slim. Even if a cosmic rift does occur, the gravitational forces in space will cause it to naturally repair itself within a relatively short time—hundreds or thousands of years by human standards, or tens of thousands for larger cracks. While this seems long to human, it is negligible for the universe.
The second reason is that the universe is more vast than you think. It is difficult for a moving super black hole to encounter a cosmic crack. Many celestial bodies in the universe will age and disappear before they meet. For a super-large spiral black hole to form a Great Attractor, it needs a powerful black hole celestial body to merge with the cosmic crack by chance. I don’t need to explain it in detail. You can think of the probability of this happening, right?
As for your other question about why your astronomers and scientists, even with advanced instruments, haven’t observed celestial bodies being absorbed around the Great Attractor—the answer is simpler. First, the gravitational pull of the Great Attractor is millions or even billions of times stronger than that of an ordinary black hole. At the same time, the emitted radiation intensifies geometrically. Before any matter can approach the Great Attractor, it’s already broken down into elementary particles by the radiation.
Second, the celestial bodies are so far from the Great Attractor that they reach the end of their lifespans and decay into debris or atoms long before they can approach it.
Lastly, regarding the question of what happens inside the spatial tunnel of the Great Attractor—the answer varies. Anything is possible within the entrance of a Great Attractor, whether it’s a multiverse, higher-dimensional space, or some other dimensional plane.
Ancient civilizations in the Milky Way had already explored and understood the Great Attractor in ancient times. You could think of it as another world or universe. Its space, time, dimensions, frequencies, and gravity are entirely different from our universe, each with its own unique characteristics.”
“Ah, so the Great Attractor is like a massive, mutated whirlpool in a river. I thought it was the bloody mouth of the universe. It seems that our exploration of the universe is really insignificant at this stage.”
I decided to shift to another topic: “By the way, this reminds me of something else I once read on my phone. It said that scientists using radio telescopes discovered material older than the universe itself, such as ancient Stars. How is that possible? Some people even claim this disproves the Big Bang theory.”
“That’s quite normal,” Buweiro replied. “As I mentioned earlier, the birth of the universe can occur in various ways. Some are naturally formed from the nurturing of basic primordial particles in space. Others arise when density and temperature reach a critical point, causing an explosion or combustion, which, after cooling, evolves into a universe. Still others are related to black holes or gravitational clusters.
Regardless of how a universe is formed, some ancient matter within the internal space of a local universe may remain intact, neither destroyed nor obliterated. After the local universe was formed, the remaining matter formed stars in the new universe, which may be older than the universe.
In some cases, Great Attractors can eject ancient matter into newly formed multiverses, much like what your scientists speculate about white holes. Early-stage civilizations in these new universes may discover this ancient matter but initially fail to understand it. Over time, as they observe and study it, they uncover the simple truth behind its existence.
It seems the Alliance has misled you significantly, encouraging you to view things through overly complex lenses. Sometimes, simplifying your perspective can reveal that the truth is much closer than it appears.
Some ancient matter may emerge from different dimensions or through cosmic cracks for various reasons. While the probability is small, it does happen. Additionally, some ancient matter may have been brought in by extraterrestrial civilizations from other realms.”
Buweiro’s explanation once again left me dumbfounded. I wondered if the mysteries of the universe were very simple, or if he was just trying to describe it to me as simply as possible?
