[Episode 1]

After nearly 6 months of hard work,

the selection of torchbearers for the Beijing Olympic Games is now finished.

From all over the country, [Summer 2007]

a total of 11,534 torchbearer candidates have been elected.

Preparations for the Olympic Games are underway.

Beijing Olympic International Forum started in Renmin University on 24th.

This is one of the events of the 5th Beijing 2008 Olympic Culture Festival.

Over 30 Olympic executives, experts and scholars from home and abroad

will discuss during the two-day forum

the Olympic games and humanistic concepts...

Physics doesn't exist.

The investigation scope has been designated. [Police]

Field staff should keep order, keep the scene intact, and evacuate the onlookers.

No trauma on the body. [Police]

The forensic team, trace analysts, and photographers have arrived at the scene.

Others are conducting preliminary investigations and collecting evidence.

Captain Zhang, the victim's identity has been confirmed.

She was a physicist, seemed to be quite famous.

Cause of death?

No sign of homicide.

We found sleeping pills at the scene.

According to the forensic expert, it was suicide by an overdose of sleeping pills.

[Evidence Bag]

Command center, we've arrived at the scene.

Based on preliminary information, the victim was Yang Dong, who died on the bed in her bedroom.

No trauma is found on the body.

What's going on?

The scene is being taken over by the military. Please cooperate.

The military?

Why is he here? [Increase energy]

Hasn't he been suspended?

This is a military order.

Thanks, Comrade.

Please handle the transition quickly.

Thanks for cooperating. Thanks for cooperating.

At this time of crisis, he's still playing Snake.

Captain Shi always says that handling a case is like playing Snake. [Energy exhausted]

We should be both persistent and patient.

Shen, have you finished investigating the scene?

Captain Shi, preliminary investigation indicates suicide.

Here's the evidence.

Captain Shi,

the Commander-in-Chief said, tomorrow's meeting is still be on.

Physics doesn't exist, again?

We have to invite several scientists in person.

I'll bring them over.

Invite them.

Everyone, today is June 5th.

Welcome to Interact with Science.

Another regrettable incident has occurred in scientific circles.

Yang, a famous physicist, committed suicide at home on June 3rd at night.

It is known that several scientists committed suicide in the past two years.

It's a disaster for scientific circles.

So, we've invited Pan Han, a famous biologist, to share his views on this matter.

- Hello, Mr. Pan. - Hello.

You correctly predicted the ecological disaster caused by genetically modified crops.

Now, what do you think of the recent suicides among scientists recently?

I've always believed that the over-development of science and technology is a disease in human society.

The explosive development of technology is like the rapid spread of cancer cells.

In the end, it'll cause the death of the host.

You mean...

- Who can survive the earth's destruction? - Coming.

As a scientist, I've only realized it earlier than others.

So in your opinion, what should we do to avoid...

You are...

Are you Wang Miao?

Excuse me, you can't smoke here.

Captain Shi.

Sorry, Professor Wang.

We're with the Public Security Bureau.

This is Captain Shi Qiang.

Fine.

The hallway, we can talk in the hallway.

Sorry, you can't smoke there either.

[Please keep the hallway clean and do not smoke]

What can I do for you?

Professor Wang, we want to know if you've

had any recent contact with members of the Frontiers of Science.

Have you?

The Frontiers of Science is a very influential international academic organization, full of famous scholars.

And it's legal.

Why can't I have contact with it?

Look at the way you talk.

Did I say anything about it not being legal?

Did I say anything about you not being allowed to contact them?

Did I?

Please respect my privacy.

I don't need to answer your questions.

Your privacy, seriously?

You're a famous academic.

Don't you have a responsibility towards the public welfare?

As an average citizen, I also have the right to not answer your questions.

- Please leave. - Wait!

Did I permit you to close the door?

Give him the address and phone number.

You can come by in the afternoon.

What are you really after?

- What are we really after? I... - Professor Wang.

- Just now... - Please don't misunderstand.

There's an important meeting this afternoon, to which several scholars and specialists are invited.

The general sent us to invite you.

I'm busy this afternoon.

I know. You have an interview with two science magazines. And your lab has a meeting at 3 o'clock.

Don't worry. We have rescheduled those for you.

The general already spoke with the head of the Nanotechnology Research Center.

This is my ID.

Okay. I'll be there on time.

[Prosperity and Good Fortune]

How could a scientist be so rude?

Captain Shi, let's go.

What's wrong with Shi Qiang?

The general specifically requested him.

I guess he must have some special skills.

How can a man like that be part of the Battle Command Center?

[A millennium of blessings]

Battle Command Center?

Please wait here for a moment. Someone will come get you.

Okay, thanks.

Strengthen the monitoring of the six field observatories of Purple Mountain Observatory,

including Delhi Radio Astronomical Observatory of Qinghai Province,

Xuyi Celestial Mechanics Observatory of Jiangsu Province,

Ganyu Solar Observatory of Jiangsu Province,

Honghe Observatory of Heilongjiang Province,

Qingdao Observatory of Shandong Province,

Yao'an Observatory of Yunnan Province.

The meeting will start in ten minutes.

All departments, please get ready.

- Professor Wang. - and attend the meeting on time.

I'm sorry. I was really rude this morning.

My leader criticized me and had me come get you in order to apologize to you.

What do you think of the place? Strange, right?

Everyone thinks it's strange when they first come here.

Why is such a secret organization set up in this place?

It was supposed to be an art museum.

But it was requisitioned before it could open.

Come on, let me give you a tour. Come.

I hear that you're researching some kind of new material?

Yes. Nanomaterial.

I heard that a strand of that stuff could be used to lift up a truck.

If criminals steal some and make it into a knife, can't they slice a truck in half with one stroke?

First, there's no need to even make it into a knife.

That kind of material can be made into a line as thin as one-hundredth of a hair.

If you string it across a road, a passing car would be sliced into two halves like cheese.

Second, what can't be used for criminal purposes?

Even a dull knife for descaling a fish can.

You're right. Even a fish can be made into a weapon.

I handled a murder case once. You know what the murder weapon was?

A frozen tilapia taken out from the freezer.

The spines along its back were like razors.

You're Captain Shi Qiang, right?

Yes. That's me.

Did you ask me to the meeting just to talk about this?

No, no, no. Nothing to do with all that.

I was chatting with you and showing you around. Look.

This museum is enlightening.

It tells us that all human beings will eventually die.

After they die, they'll become big skeletons like this.

I don't agree with you. We'll be cremated after we die.

Also, this is a fossil.

Right.

Do you think there will be sarira after scientists are cremated? (TN: sarira's are a buddhist relic left behind after someone dies)

Come on. Let's walk and chat.

Comrades, let me introduce our guests before the meeting.

This is a marine colonel of Country M in the North American Combat Zone, Mr. Stanton.

This is an army colonel of Country T, Mr. Mike.

Meanwhile, they are liaisons of the North American Combat Zone and the European Combat Zone.

These two comrades...

All these guys want is to get information out of us, but they never tell us anything.

As for Oceania,

- Asia... - I've been here for a while, and I still don't know anything, just like you.

...and the United Nations,

I won't introduce their representatives one by one.

Comrades, let's get started.

Yes.

Today, Comrades.

- We call each other comrades here. - I will brief all comrades

- Comrades. - at the meeting.

Of all the combat zones around the globe, this one has become the focal point. [Asian Defense Council]

Recently, the enemy has intensified the pattern of attacks.

Their targets remain elite scientists.

Professor David, a pioneer in the detection of cosmic neutrino of Gadayork University,

committed suicide a month ago.

Hart, the astrophysicist of Country A, committed suicide 13 days ago.

Country T is the disaster zone of scientists' suicides.

Professor August in the field of precision spectroscopy,

Professor Bauer who engaged in nuclear structure study, and another three scientists died one after another.

Recently, the number of scientists that committed suicide around the globe has increased sharply.

In front of you is a list of scientists that committed suicide.

Take a look.

Professor Wang,

as you look through these names, does anything strike you?

They are all famous scholars working at the forefront of...

[Yang Dong]

[Yang Dong]

You know her?

You don't know her, but want to know her?

All the physicists on this list have committed suicide in the last two months.

When did this happen?

Professor Wang means the last name.

Yang Dong, right? Yang Dong was the last to commit suicide.

Two nights ago, she overdosed on sleeping pills.

She died very peacefully. No pain.

Why did they do this?

The only thing we can be sure of, is that the same reason drove all of them to suicide.

Most scientists questioned in their suicide notes that physics didn't exist.

The document contains their suicide notes.

Everyone can examine them after the meeting.

Yang Dong's isn't included.

Dr. Ding, would you please show Yang Dong's note to Professor Wang?

Hers is the shortest and the most representative.

Thanks.

He was Yang Dong's boyfriend.

- I know. - You know?

He's a famous physicist who discovered the macroatom while studying ball lightning.

All the evidence points to a single conclusion:

physics has never existed, and will never exist.

I know what I'm doing is irresponsible.

But I have no choice.

Physics doesn't exist.

Today we're discussing an organization called the Frontiers of Science.

According to our investigation,

most of the scientists who committed suicide had some connection with the organization.

Dr. Ding, since you're a theoretical physicist, can you give us more background on it?

I have no direct connection with the Frontiers of Science, but it is famous in academia.

Its core goal is a response to the following: since the second half of the twentieth century,

physics has gradually lost the concision and simplicity of its classical theories.

Modern theoretical models have become more and more complex, vague, and uncertain.

So they want to use the methods of science to discover the limits of science,

to try to find out if there's a limit to how deeply and precisely science can know nature,

a boundary beyond which science cannot go.

But with the development of modern physics, humans seem to have touched such a line.

Dr. Ding, could you make it clearer?

I've already made it clear enough.

Dr. Ding,

sorry for your loss.

♫ Unity means power ♫

♫ The power is iron, the power is steel ♫

♫ But it is harder and stronger ♫

♫ Firing at Fascism, we fight ♫

♫ We'll wipe out all the systems not democratic ♫

Let me introduce myself, Chang Weisi.

According to our investigation,

most of the scholars who committed suicide had some connection with the Frontiers of Science,

and some were even members.

Of course, they haven't committed any crime.

We heard that they contacted you recently, right?

Yes.

They invited me to their gatherings.

Could you tell us more details?

Yeah.

Including the names of your contacts,

the times and locations of meetings,

the content of your conversations,

and if you exchanged letters or e-mails.

Shi, behave yourself.

This isn't an interrogation.

Professor Wang, go ahead.

The one who invited me was Shen Yufei, a foreign physicist.

She currently works for a foreign-invested company, researching nanotech.

We met at a technical conference. [Shen Yufei]

At the conference, she introduced a few other physicists to me,

some Chinese, some foreign.

And then?

Then nothing.

We don't have many common topics.

Why?

My work is in applied research, but they were discussing fundamental physics.

I don't know much about theoretical matters.

So, basically, I was listening to their discussions and arguments.

But all of them were deep thinkers with novel points of view.

Though I was only listening, I felt that I was opening my mind.

They didn't ask you to join them?

They did.

But my time and energy were limited, so I declined.

Tell the truth.

What I said is the truth.

I don't need to hide anything from you.

If physics doesn't exist, what will happen to your nanotech?

I said my work was in applied research.

Even if physics doesn't exist, I can still carry on nano experiments.

Professor Wang, it's like this. The main reason we invited you over today is to ask you to join the organization.

We'd like to learn more about the internal workings of the organization through you.

You mean you want me to be a mole?

A mole!

What's so funny?

You're right.

We just want to know some internal information.

I'm sorry, General.

I cannot do this.

Professor Wang. Investigating this organization is complicated.

For us, it's like walking across thin ice.

Without your support, we cannot make any progress.

I am very busy at work.

I just don't have the time.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you for coming here today.

I'm sorry for wasting your precious time.

It's better this way!

I disagree with the plan anyway!

So many bookworms have already killed themselves.

If we send him, he'd be a meat dumpling thrown to the dogs.

The way you speak is not appropriate for a good police officer.

I'm not a good cop anyway.

We don't know why these scholars killed themselves.

You shouldn't speak of them so contemptuously.

Their minds have made so many contributions to humanity.

They're irreplaceable.

What do you mean?

You're saying they're better than me?

At least I wouldn't kill myself just because someone told me some bullshit.

Professor Wang, I have no confidence in you.

Not at all, really.

You think I would kill myself too?

I have to be concerned about your safety.

There's no need.

I would be much safer than you in such situations.

A person's ability to discern the truth is directly proportional to his knowledge.

I'm not sure about that.

A man as vulnerable as you...

- Shi! - Let him speak.

Maybe some people will never understand what kind of person a scientist is.

Anyway, I must warn you not to go to the Frontiers of Science.

You mustn't go to the Frontiers of Science again.

The dead can't be brought back to life.

I don't want to see anyone die again.

I want him to remain alive for a while.

Shi, get out.

Of course I'll stay alive.

But I never want to see you again.

Anyhow, I want to see you again.

That's just his personality.

He's actually a very experienced criminal police and anti-terrorism expert.

Over 20 years ago, he was a soldier in my company.

Given the current situation, we really need him.

Professor Wang, you can ask me any questions you have.

General Chang, what did everything you talked about have to do with the military?

War has everything to do with the army.

War?

Where is this war?

There aren't any hot spots in the world right now.

This is probably the most peaceful period in history.

Soon, you and everyone will know everything.

Do you mean that we are teetering on the brink of war?

Professor Wang, I have a personal question for you.

Have you ever had anything big happen to you before?

I mean something that changed your life completely,

like if you woke up from being asleep, and found the world had become a totally different place.

No.

Then your life has been fortunate.

The world is big and full of unpredictable factors,

yet you have never faced a crisis.

But that's true of most lives, isn't it?

Then most people have lived fortunately.

But many generations have lived in this plain manner.

All fortunate.

Wait, General Chang, I have to confess that I'm not feeling very sharp today.

- Are you suggesting that... - Yes.

All of humankind has been fortunate.

From the Stone Age until now, no real crisis has ever occurred.

We've been very lucky.

But if it's all luck, then it has to come to an end one day.

I'm telling you now, it's ended.

Prepare for the worst.

- Then... - The car is waiting.

Goodbye, Professor Wang.

The number of scientists that committed suicide around the globe has increased sharply.

Anyway, I must warn you not to go to the Frontiers of Science.

You mustn't go to the Frontiers of Science again.

The dead can't be brought back to life.

Her death is related to her scientific findings.

All the evidence points to a single conclusion:

physics has never existed, and will never exist.

I know what I'm doing is irresponsible.

But I have no choice.

Welcome to Sinotron II High-energy Particle Accelerator Base. [10 months ago]

Mr. Wang,

are you shooting the accelerator? [Liangxiang Accelerator Base]

Have you checked everything? [45 minutes before the collision experiment]

Rest assured. The nano-components our lab provided for the accelerator is perfect.

The accelerator will finally be put in use today.

Having cost more than 20 billion yuan, it's the third one in the world and the first in Asia.

- I never thought that such a young scientist would be in charge of its first operation. - Dr. Yang Dong,

the results have come out already.

Here is the test report.

The Superstring Theory's collider test data.

Do you think this set of data is normal?

The three sets don't correlate.

But, Dr. Qian Xuesen said, the abnormal is normal.

But I'm curious.

Where did the data come from?

Liangxiang Accelerator Experiment Base.

You know, my student, Yang Dong, just started the experiment. [Liangxiang Accelerator Base]

It isn't finished. There are no test results. [15 minutes before the collision experiment[

There's nothing in the data. Impossible.

So where did you get the data from?

Liangxiang Accelerator Experiment Base.

These are experiment data Yang Dong will receive today.

Accelerate protons. Phase I.

Separate the magnetic poles to enable loading function.

Infuse particle beam.

Countdown.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Particle velocity is 99% of the light velocity.

[Liangxiang Accelerator Base - Large Particle Collider]

Are the measurements correct?

Yeah.

No accuracy.

Miss fit of data.

Please fax me the results.

No test results. Not accurate. And yet, you got them before.

Who are you?

How did you get these results?

Look at it.

It tries hard,

climbing over bricks, over the steel,

the glass.

Through the glass, it sees you and me.

It thinks it couldn't get in because it hasn't found the crack on the glass yet.

It believes a crack must exist.

I can give it the crack.

But it... got no choice.

Buddha bless my lord

to get out of misery.

It doesn't exist.

Not all these nonsense.

[Ten months later]

Organize these later.

Pay attention to this.

All this stuff should be sealed.

Ding Yi is a good choice.

First of all, he's a scientist working in fundamental physics.

And also, he was Yang Dong's fiancé.

If he joins the Frontiers of Science, it'll be advantageous to us.

I don't think so.

Why?

The members of the Frontiers of Science are mostly fundamental physicists.

Why would they contact Wang Miao?

Do you know Wang Miao?

♫ Everything is different though ♫

Understood.

A nanotech scientist.

Do you think there is a chance?

I've contacted him before.

His research is far from mass production.

He published a paper recently,

which mentioned nano flying blades.

If it really goes into mass production, it's possible.

Read your e-mail.

♫ Where you are ♫

♫ Where you are ♫

Why would they contact Wang Miao? [Wang Miao]

So, he must be special.

♫ When I woke up in the morning ♫

♫ Everything is different though ♫

♫ The world is still out there ♫

♫ But nobody else is here ♫

♫ When I woke up in the morning ♫

♫ I couldn't find you anymore ♫
