570 Weather Change (1/2)
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The three consecutive thunders made Fernando and Hellen, who was on the thirty-third floor of the Allyn magic tower, slow down their work to open the Land of Truth. They turned around and looked out of the window, observing the lightning that were illuminating this corner of the world.
”Whose cognitive world is shaking?” Hellen's skin was as fair as ice in the first place, and it was even paler and bloodless right now. Frowning, she commented on the weather change outside, finding it hard to believe.
It was not because the gravity theory was proved wrong, but because the problems regarding the source and nature of gravity raised the confusion of the founder of the field, who even had the idea that a supreme being was behind everything. That was why people questioned the necessity and correctness of the current arcana studies.
The blow on the arcanists depended on their attitude towards Douglas' authority. To be more exact, the legendary sorcerers were obviously less dependent on Douglas than the ordinary people were. Brook, for example, was an expert who disrupted her teacher's particle theory.
That was why Hellen was confused. Of all the legendary sorcerers, she was the one who respected Mr. President's authority most, but she was not vacillating yet. Which dummy had completely lost his confidence without confirming the actual situation first?
If that was what happened, she would wonder how the guy advanced into legendary at all!
Uncontrollably anger and confusion filled Fernando's face. ”Judging from the scale and the feeling of illusion, it's truly the cognitive world's influence on the real world, but it is not necessarily vacillation…”
”In any case, let's activate the defense of Allyn in case of destructive damages and in case the enemy sneaks in during the mess.” After the initial shock, Hellen gradually calmed down.

In the headquarters of the Will of Elements…
Raventi was speaking to the Astrologer who lived in the Tower. Suddenly, the electromagnetic signals became messy and chaotic. Thunder was rumbling obviously.
”Annonis, what's going on?” Asked Raventi solemnly.
Annonis replied uncertainly, ”The weather two thousand meters within Allyn has suddenly changed. A thunderstorm has come…”
”Is it possible…” Raventi did not finish. Gravely, he looked at where Allyn was at and could vaguely see the silver lightning which looked like long snakes in the sky.
”I don't think so…” Annonis understood what Raventi mean and replied slowly, his voice going down.
”I hope it's not like what I thought.”
While watching the electric snakes soaring in the sky, Raventi informed Hathaway.
......
Inside the Sky Radio Station, the half-panicked arcanists were shocked by the thunder, their eyes filled by the lightning. They were obviously stunned.
”Why is there suddenly a storm?” An arcanist asked in a low voice, feeling that the dark, depressing thunderstorm was exactly what was happening in his mind.
The torrential rain poured on their heart and raised unreasonable panic. Somebody comforted themselves, trying to be calm. ”This is the Month of Passion. Isn't it normal that a storm happens anytime?”
Boom!
The thunder burst out again, scaring the arcanists. Somebody blurted out, ”No, this is not normal. There were no temperature and pressure changes before it!”
If it were not a normal weather change, what caused it?
The arcanists on the spot suddenly saw the lock of Allyn rising, filling all the areas with vague mist.
Together with the huge storm out there, it added to everybody's ominous feeling.
”Don't overthink. If there is anything, the Highest Council will take care of everything. We don't need to be anxious.” Samantha tried to make herself sound calm.
If what happened just now was real, she believed that she would have to reevaluate the Church. It seemed that they were not so violent and reckless that they could only get things done with strength and assassination.
BOOM!
The rumbling thunder entered into Blake's ears. Looking at the apocalyptic view outside, he said bitterly with a self-mocking smile, ”Has the weather sensed the desperation of the arcanists in Allyn, too?”
......
Inside his office in the Atom Institution…
Lucien wrote beautiful worlds with the quill in his hand:
”This paper is based on two basic premises, the first of which is equivalence principle…”
”…Through the experiments and proofs above, we can see that all the objects in a gravitational field has the same acceleration, which can be summarized as the equivalence of inertial mass and gravitational mass…”
With the manuscripts he copied and the ideas he accumulated in the past, when Lucien reached a certain paragraph, the paper that was full of words and formulas would fly to him, and he could include them in his article perfectly after the slightest modification.
In such a way, Lucien was extremely fast in writing and connecting his ideas. It didn't take long before he described the equivalence principle and the general theory of relativity. Then, he began the relativistic explanation and the geometric description of gravity.
At this moment, the analysis tools that were completed together with Levski, Milina and other Tower arcanists, including Evans Geometry and tensor, were put into use, making the content esoteric and full of profound mysteries.
In order for the regular arcanists to understand, and to dispel the confusion caused by Mr. President's speech, Lucien added a metaphorical description:
”It can be seen from the geometric model above that space is like an elastic net and the objects in it are like balls that have fallen into the elastic net. Their mass will result to the collapse of the net and the warp of time and space around. Such warping will make other balls of smaller masses on the elastic net to roll towards the ball of greater masses. This is exactly the nature of gravity - warped space-time!”
”Therefore, it is evident that the time and space we are in is not the flat time and space as intuitively described by the Tower Geometry, but a warped space-time founded on the Evans Geometry with a curvature that is greater than zero!”
