Hearing Zhan Qiulang's question, all the officials were stunned.
As expected of the number one astrologer of the Southern Summer, he asked such a profound question right from the start.
Even the astrologers of the empire might not be able to answer such a profound philosophical question.
How could Lin Yun, a mere youth, answer such a question?
Everyone thought that Lin Yun would not be able to answer such a question. But who knew that Lin Yun would not even think about it, and directly answered, "Everything in the void, ever since they were born, they have been moving with each other. There is no such thing as a center."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, everyone burst into laughter.
"No center? What kind of twisted logic is that? That's too much! "
"Everything has its own center. How can everything in the void not have a center? I think he just doesn't know where the center is, that's why he purposely said such ridiculous things! "
Everyone burst into laughter, but Zhan Qiulang's face was filled with shock.
Because what Lin Yun said just now was exactly the same as what was recorded in the book in his hand!
Everyone who was mocking Lin Yun, after seeing Zhan Qiulang's expression, immediately shut their mouths and became quiet.
The originally noisy palace hall also fell into a dead silence at this moment.
Everyone looked at Zhan Qiulang in shock. They were very confused as to why Zhan Qiulang would show such an expression.
After a long while, Zhan Qiulang took a deep breath and asked Lin Yun seriously, "You said that everything in the void has no center, what's the basis for that?"
Lin Yun said to Zhan Qiulang while operating the forging furnace, "The Divine Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Sky Martial Continent all move around the sun in a cycle, with the sun as the center."
"The sun and countless stars move around the center of the galaxy together, forming a vast and boundless galaxy."
"Beyond the vast Milky Way, there are thousands of similar Milky Ways. They revolve around each other, move around each other, and form a larger galaxy. "
"There is more than one galaxy, there are also tens of thousands of them. They are all constantly moving … In short, everything in the void is moving with each other, and there is no such thing as a center. "
After listening to Lin Yun's words, all the civil and military officials present were deeply shocked.
Their understanding of the void and all things was limited to the galaxy that could be glimpsed in the night sky. He had never imagined what lay beyond the Milky Way.
But now, Lin Yun told them that there were tens of thousands of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, and they formed an even larger system of galaxies.
Apart from the unimaginably huge Galaxy Cluster, there were tens of thousands of Galaxy Clusters.
This completely subverted their understanding of all things in the void!
"Is everything in the void really that big?" Nangong Yan looked at Lin Yun with a fiery gaze and murmured.
As the princess of the Southern Summer King Country, Nangong Yan not only had outstanding talent and a devastatingly beautiful appearance, but she was also extremely knowledgeable and passionate about exploring the mysteries of the world.
Ever since she climbed the observatory for the first time at the age of six, Nangong Yan had been completely immersed in the splendid void.
Her obsession with the void could even be described as fanatical.
Her biggest dream in this life was to uncover the mysteries of the sky, explore the boundaries of the void, and search for the origin of all things.
She firmly believed that the Milky Way that humans could observe was definitely not everything in the void. There had to be other things outside of the known Milky Way.
It was just that human observation technology was limited, and their exploration of the void was still in its initial stages, so no one could confirm this.
In the entire Southern Summer King Country, Nangong Yan was the only one who firmly believed in this view, so she felt very lonely.
But Lin Yun's appearance completely rescued her from her loneliness, making her feel as if she had found a confidant.
Just now, Lin Yun had said that there were tens of thousands of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, and this aroused her curiosity and made her feel extremely excited. It was as if a timely rain had poured on parched land, nourishing her who had been thirsty for many years.
"You said that there are tens of thousands of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, but why can't we observe them?" Zhan Qiulang asked doubtfully to Lin Yun.
The existing astronomy books only recorded that all things in the void had no center, but they didn't explain what was outside the Milky Way.
It was really hard to believe that Lin Yun could explain things that weren't recorded in the books so clearly.
Lin Yun looked at Zhan Qiulang with disdain, as if looking at a frog at the bottom of a well, and said, "The other galaxies beyond the Milky Way are very far away from us.
"Even the nearest galaxy to us would take millions of years to reach at the speed of light. And the farthest galaxy from us would take tens of billions of years to reach!
"After traveling such a long distance, the light they emit would become very weak, so weak that it would be completely covered by the light of our Milky Way. It is precisely because of this that we can't observe those galaxies. "
After listening to Lin Yun's words, Zhan Qiulang and the other astrologers fell into deep shock.
How fast was the speed of light?
Ordinary people might not have the concept, but they, who were in the field of astronomy, were extremely clear on this concept.
In just half a second, light could circle the entire Sky Martial Continent.
In just ten seconds, light could travel from the Sky Martial Continent to the God Realm or the Demon Realm.
With such a fast speed, it would take millions of years to reach the nearest galaxy. It was simply unimaginable, how vast were all things in the void!
Although it sounded unimaginable, but they had to admit that what Lin Yun said was very logical and philosophical.
Whether Lin Yun's words were correct or not, Lin Yun's answer to Zhan Qiulang's question about the center of all things in the void had been answered correctly by Lin Yun, so there was no need to continue debating.
"You answered the first question correctly." Zhan Qiulang nodded his head in approval, then flipped the pages of the book.
After flipping to the last few pages, Zhan Qiulang suddenly stopped and asked Lin Yun, "May I ask little brother Lin Yun, what exactly is the reason that causes the celestial bodies to have regular periodic movements?"
Hearing Zhan Qiulang's question, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Even some of the scholars, frowned and pondered, obviously stumped by this question.
They had never even thought about such a profound philosophical question before, not to mention giving a correct answer.
As an astrologer, Zhan Qiulang had also been troubled by this question for many years. At this time, he happened to find this question in an astronomy book, and used this question to test Lin Yun.
He believed that even he could not understand this question, the inexperienced youth in front of him would definitely not be able to understand it.
After Zhan Qiulang asked this question, Nangong Yan looked at Lin Yun with anticipation and eagerness, revealing a look of thirst for knowledge.
