The Heavenly Realm?
This name was all too familiar to Leon Chen.
Hearing it from Sienna Tang's lips made Leon's expression turn peculiar.
Sienna glanced at Leon with a suggestive smile, but everyone else seemed to filter out this detail, focusing intently on what she was saying.
"I'm currently researching a mysterious spatial engineering project, the Trinity Theory of the Heavenly Realm," Sienna explained.
"Is it really possible that such a world exists?" The auditorium was filled with a sense of bewilderment.
The Queen's baton struck the podium with a sharp sound, and she spoke with pride, "I won't reiterate the example of using a needle to pick up ant food. In the scientific community, it's generally accepted that life forms in any one-dimensional space can only perceive their own dimension, and the higher-dimensional space beyond their perception remains the limit of their understanding."
Everyone nodded, indicating they understood this concept.
"Just as ants living in a two-dimensional world wouldn't know where their food went if we, from a three-dimensional space, took it away, because they can't perceive height. They'd never realize the food was just a few centimeters above them. This can be related to mysterious disappearances and appearances in human society, such as a pilot seeing ancient Egypt constructing pyramids before disappearing, or another pilot seeing golden lands and then vanishing. Who knows if these disappearances are due to higher-dimensional beings taking them or them accidentally entering the Heavenly Realm?"
"If objects around us fall into a four-dimensional space and merge with what we perceive as 'past' and 'future' time, they'd seem to vanish from our present time point. If we search all over with our current knowledge in every direction and can't find them, we'd consider it a mysterious disappearance."
The audience was partly understanding, partly confused.
"There are so many mysteries in this world, like the unsolved construction of the Egyptian pyramids, which is a perfect spatial structure. Perhaps they were built by beings from the Heavenly Realm, who then left for some reason," Sienna said, taking a sip of water. She noticed Leon's expression of finding a kindred spirit.
Looking at the students below, they were deep in thought, likely dismissing it as far-fetched imagination.
Sienna didn't mind being laughed at. Based on her research, she had preliminary evidence for her "Heavenly Realm Theory," but she needed further verification.
"Leon, what do you think?" Sienna asked with a smile.
When it came to the Heavenly Realm, no one had more authority than Leon. After all, he had mysteriously received a good-person card from the Heavenly Realm, making him reevaluate his understanding of the world.
However, Leon couldn't just say, "I believe in the theory because the Heavenly Realm even called me." Saying that would get him thrown into a mental institution.
So, Leon asked, "Have you found a way to enter the fourth dimension, Professor?"
Sienna sighed with a smile, "If we had, the world order would have changed by now."
"So, this is just Professor's imagination?" The other students laughed naturally, thinking it was too fantastical, perhaps even heavenly.
"But it's supported by medical theory," Sienna pointed out.
"Really?"
Sienna thought for a moment and explained, "The principle is quite complex. Physiological psychology research shows that the left brain is responsible for rational and logical analysis, and language functions. Most of our lives, we use our left brain, which fixes our thinking patterns. The right brain, responsible for unconscious processes like imagination and inspiration, remains silent throughout our lives. We're creatures dominated by our left brain. We're so used to this that we don't find it unusual, just as ants are used to their own scent."
To illustrate the impact of the right brain on thinking, Sienna cited two famous physicists—Einstein and Newton.
Einstein attributed many of his significant scientific discoveries to his imagination games. One summer, he dozed off on a hill and dreamt he was riding a beam of light to the far ends of the universe. When he "illogically" returned to the sun's surface, he realized the universe was curved and that his previous "logical" knowledge was incomplete. He turned this vision into language, numbers, formulas, and words, resulting in the theory of relativity.
Newton discovered universal gravitation by using his right brain for deep contemplation, drawing inspiration from watching an apple fall from a tree. The visual of the apple falling became logically explained as the famous "universal gravitation."
"Discovering the unseen"—this is the right brain's ability and potentially the key to human breakthrough into higher-dimensional cognition.
After Sienna finished, the auditorium was in shock.
Her "Trinity Theory of the Heavenly Realm" was indeed too bizarre.
Sienna didn't expect anyone to accept it. Just as Barbara McClintock's "transposition phenomenon" was misunderstood and ridiculed for decades when she proposed it in 1950, only gaining recognition and a Nobel Prize thirty-three years later.
Of course, Sienna didn't compare herself to McClintock, but...
"But you don't need to take it seriously..." Sienna said with a teasing smile, "My mystical studies are all about imagining mysterious things. I'm here not to instill the so-called trinity... What matters is whether you can develop independent creativity, unconventional execution, and wild imagination."
Hearing this, the atmosphere relaxed, and everyone took it as a joke. After all, how could humans be as insignificant as ants?
"Now, let's look at some findings from my recent archaeological trip."
Sienna then turned on the projector, showing photos from her recent archaeological investigation. The students, feeling they had been teased, now watched with great interest.
Sienna sat on Leon's desk, crossing her long legs.
Leon looked at her thoughtfully, while Sienna casually revealed a large swath of her white chest, breathing seductively.
Leon recalled the scene of Sienna wiping herself in the bathroom, making him shiver and awkwardly lean back.
Sienna waved her baton in front of Leon's face.
"Want to receive some... special care from the professor?" she asked, lowering her voice and biting her words sensually.
Leon felt his blood boiling but gritted his teeth, saying with frustration, "You mean your thoughtful guidance, right, Professor..."
Sienna's smile was as innocent as a child's.
