The Backlit Dimension

This is a contemporary urban sci-fi novel about the idea that “knowledge is power.”

Physics teacher Zhou Ye is framed by Su Wanqing, a rich student, and his reputation is ruined. Someone pushes him off a bridge. As he teeters on the brink of death, a mysterious entity called the Theoretical Model Materialization System takes him back to three days before the tragedy. From then on, Schrödinger's cat is no longer a thought experiment, but a trump card he can hold in his own hands.

From a stunning comeback at a Jiangcheng school, to the undercurrents swirling at an international forum in Tokyo, and then to a clash of civilizations at UNESCO in Paris, Zhou Ye turns the tables at every step. Armed with the laws of physics and using thought experiments as his game board, he not only clears his name but inadvertently uncovers the truth behind the “think tank” of a higher-dimensional civilization: human civilization is nothing more than an experimental subject under their observation.

When the interrogators become the ones under scrutiny, how can he deliver a satisfactory answer on behalf of all humanity in the face of the vast universe?
