What is a timeline
This is what 24-year-old Shen Hui said to Shen Yue before.
“There is only one timeline. If you look at it from a distance, it is a straight line, but if you look closely, you will find that this line is uneven, thick and thin.
The thick areas are the covered time, which means that someone used backtracking on this timeline and generated new time to cover the original timeline, causing this timeline to become thicker.
The more times you cover, the thicker the timeline will become.
Theoretically, if the timeline can be observed visually, then the thickness of the timeline can be used to determine whether a certain period of time in this world has been backtracked multiple times.
But in fact, the timeline can only be recognized but not observed in the three-dimensional space where humans live today.
This also means that once the timeline is restarted, no one else can perceive it except the person who restarts the timeline and overwrites it. "
"Xiao Yue, do you feel like you only have this one life?"
"But in fact, this is already your 26th timeline. Isn't it interesting?"
Shen Yue had never been interested in Shen Hui's research before. After all, Shen Hui was much smarter than her. She couldn't even understand what Shen Hui studied every day, so she had never asked Shen Hui about his research.
But this time, Shen Yue asked Shen Hui a question, "If the timeline cannot be observed, then how do you know that this is the 26th timeline?"
Shen Yue knew that Shen Hui would answer any question she asked, so she seldom asked Shen Hui questions. She was afraid that she would know things that she shouldn't know, and then she would lose the last warmth she got from Shen Hui.
But now, she wanted to know one question in particular, so she asked, "If this is the 26th timeline, then in the previous timelines were we also like this?"
"No." Shen Hui replied, "This is the first time I meet you. In the previous 25 timelines, I have never escaped before the age of 25, nor have I returned to the Shen family."
Shen Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this answer. She hoped that her meeting with Shen Hui would be a shared memory for the two of them, rather than one party constantly suffering from the pain of memories while the other was completely ignorant.
To have beautiful memories all by yourself is too cruel for the person who remembers them.
"Sister, does this seem like our destiny?"
"Well, a little bit."
"It's like you covered time 25 times just for this one encounter between us. Hmm... a little corny..."
"This does look like the theory of destiny, but the person who covered the timeline 25 times was not me, but another person." When Shen Hui mentioned another person, his expression was complicated. Shen Yue had never seen such an expression on Shen Hui's face.
She became even more curious.
"Sister, you just said that the timeline cannot be observed. If you are not the one who covers the timeline, how do you know that this is the 26th timeline?"
After Shen Yue asked this question, Shen Hui told her the theory about time travel.
