    This is a book that truly reveals the core secrets of the universe, the truth of history, and the truth of life! There are so many claims about truth in the world today, including those from various religions and sects claiming to be gods and Buddhas, extraterrestrials, beings from the Earth's core, or higher-dimensional civilizations, as well as claims of having the third eye, dreams, and sudden enlightenment. Everyone claims to know the truth of the universe; truth is practically commonplace. Who is right? Ultimately, we must rely on science to verify it. Among hidden civilizations, no "universal truth" can provide scientific experiments. Do those "branch truths," "early childhood truths," and "confusing truths" have the ability and level to conduct experiments? They mostly indulge in self-indulgence within the limited scope of truth, focusing on trivial details. Do they dare to challenge them with scientific experiments? Without experiments, what are you talking about? Well said! I'll memorize your last sentence, and I'll say it three times: Do they dare to challenge them with scientific experiments? Without experiments, what are you talking about? Do they dare to challenge them with scientific experiments? Without experiments, what are you talking about? Do they dare to challenge them with scientific experiments? Without experiments, what are you talking about? The Chinese philosophy of celestial secrets and the study of the universe is about understanding the true nature of all things in the cosmos. Therefore, we dare to pursue this truth, using scientific methods to help scientists understand the true face of the universe. This scientific understanding will then exert a powerful influence on our minds and promote the transformation of civilization. We have proposed seven scientific experiments: "Horizontal Double-Dial Experiment," "Wind Tunnel Light Speed ​​Experiment," "Presence Experiment," "Water Wave Ball Experiment," "Electron Double-Slit Wave Enhancement Experiment," "Space Hemisphere Experiment," and "Space Feather Experiment." Detailed explanations have been written and will be sent to you shortly. Since some readers may not be interested in physics, we won't elaborate here.
