Global Extinction
Shanghai United International School WanYuan, Wang, Steve - 10
The Greater Bay Area is the base of human technology now in the 2020 th exaannum, which equals to the
year range 2019000000000000000000-2019999999999999999999. Now, is the 2019 th year in the 2020 th
exaannum, and though humanity has existed for a very long time, humanity now faces a very serious
problem which has indeed occurred since the very ancient times, when it was 2023.
In 2023, all the knowledge humanity had ever known had been subverted by a subject called quantum
mechanics, which could explain everything. But that knowledge subverted all knowledge they know, so it’s
hard for them to both understand and use quantum mechanics. So, there are two sides, one studied and
learned about quantum mechanics, and the other disagreed. The debate went on for around 15 years, and
was known as the famous “Debate of humanity” . I was one of the quantum-mechanists who joint the final
debate. A night before the final debate, I was grabbing my head because I was left in the lab with an
unfinished formula of the superstring theory that looked like this:
Even though I thought for a long time about what to add after the plus mark, but I just didn’t know. Every
time I calculated the answer of the gauge group and the answer was never ‘none’. What could fit after the
plus mark to let the answer of the gauge group reach ‘none’? I put my work into my bag and headed home.
I really gave up.
The next day, everybody agreed to accept quantum mechanics because the Greater Bay Area and Silicon
Valley got attacked by robots, and quantum mechanics is the only solution to defeat the robots.
Now, in the 2019 th year of the 2020 th exaannum, the Greater Bay Area, which is the base of human
technology, faced a much more serious problem. There are two sides in the Greater Bay Area, one
calculated that the HE theory’s gauge group is none and they faced some problem of what ∂ z means, one
calculates that the HE theory gauge group is E 8 *E 8 and the ∂ z is very important. These two sides in the
Greater Bay Area now nearly have no time to debate at all, because the whole humanity is waiting for the
answer and there is already a whole universe chain being big-crunched and eventually became nothing.
The leader of the Greater Bay Area now faces a very challenging choice; if he chooses the correct side, the
whole humanity evolves and lives on; otherwise, all of humanity dies out. And he only has two months to
make the decision, if he doesn’t choose at all, the all of humanity dies, too.
And Steve Wang, myself, am the leader of the GBA.
One week has passed, and each side doesn’t have eventually any progress on their theory. They just debated
for a week on if ∂ z is important or not. I am very envious, and I gathered a meeting on Saturday and told
them to quicken their theories.
As the next week came, the Greater Bay Area faced another problem: one Greater Bay Area team found a
world of unexplained. They think that we can help them explore and explain further universes. And in no
time, I said I’II help to make the theorem. Now that I have to both care about the superstring theory and
the theorem of explaining further worlds and I only have one month and three weeks to finish both of them
before January 4 th arrives, and now, it is already November 8 th .
Next day came, and I took out my old research, there was the page of the infinite square potential problem,
but the final page went missing, so I have to calculate from the beginning again.
That week I left my work with the incomplete theorem of the infinite square potential problem, which left
just one unknown blanket to fit in.
Then I asked my secretary if there was progress on the theories this week, and my secretary told me that the
side which calculated that the HE theory’s gauge group is none and they faced some problem of what ∂ z
means, has some progress, and my secretary gave me what they calculated for one week, it even didn’t reach
