Chapter 1134: God's Dice
"This tin box is equipped with a set of elaborate mechanisms, a sealed gas canister, a hammer, a small mechanism, and a Geiger counter."
The rest could still be understood, but Relo didn't know what the "Geiger counter" was, but he didn't rush to ask, because Alayy's next explanation came soon:
"The Geiger counter is a high-precision physical device that I created by absorbing some information at different latitudes, which can detect the decay of heavy metal atoms and react in real time."
"By the way, some of the high-tech of the Cult of the Evil God use these unique heterolatitude technology equipment, and the Geiger counter is just one, and we won't mention more here for the time being."
Lei Luo still didn't speak, his arms were unconsciously hugged to his chest, and he listened quietly to Alayya's story, Naruto was quite bored, but worried about the cat's psychology, or let him be patient, and temporarily stand next to Lei Luo to listen.
"Suppose the uranium atom you just put in suddenly decays, then the Geiger counter will detect this event and activate the mechanism to use a hammer to smash the gas canister......"
"Then, naturally, the cat will be poisoned by poison gas."
Lei Luo frowned slightly, and when he found that Alaya said this, he fell into a pause, and couldn't help but ask inexplicably, "And then?" What does this mean? What are you trying to express? ”
In Relo's view, a cat is stuffed into an iron box with a lethal mechanism, and the condition for determining whether the deadly mechanism is activated depends on whether the uranium atom it releases decays......
Decay, also known as "metamorphosis", refers to the process by which a radioactive element emits a particle and transforms into another element, such as radium emitting α particles and then turning into radon, and the same is true for uranium atoms, from which the fission reaction originates.
Of course, just the decay of a uranium atom with too low an energy level will not cause any explosion, that is, the unlucky cat has no possibility of being killed by a nuclear explosion.
But what does this mean?
Facing Lei Luo's puzzled gaze, Alaya smiled, patted the iron box with his hand, and asked without answering:
"Lei Luo, although you can manipulate atoms and electrons to carry out various microscopic interferences, such as releasing radiation, creating plasma, and detonating nuclear weapons, have you really had a good understanding of these little things?"
"Like, their nature?"
Their ...... Essence?
Atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, hadrons...... All kinds of pictures perceived by high-level dust escapes came to mind, but the more Lei Luo thought about it, the more strange it became, aren't microscopic particles just microscopic particles?
Their essence...... Could it be something else?
"The images you perceive don't mean that they are actually what they are." What Alaya said, Lei Luo became more and more incomprehensible, and it was not until the next sentence came that he suddenly understood:
"Your perception, whether it's chakra, psychics, electromagnetic waves, or whatever...... Perception itself, which means observation, means that your behavior affects the laws of motion of microscopic particles. ”
"Before you observe microscopic particles, their state, position, momentum, and velocity are actually uncertain, and this uncertainty itself belongs to a part of the laws of the objective world."
"It's your perceptions, your observations, that make them determined."
At first glance, ordinary people may only think that this is nonsense, just like a pen, an apple, if you observe it, it will be like that, if you don't observe it, its state is randomly changed.
To take a less appropriate example, a fountain pen can be broken, brand new, old, an apple can be whole, it can be bitten, or it can be rotten.
The notion that the state in which they are determined is not determined by themselves, but by the "observing" behavior of the observer, is a very defying and extremely anti-intellectual concept.
If it weren't for Lei Luo's knowledge of high-energy physics, he might have praised Alayah as an "old idealist", but it was precisely because of the existence of that knowledge that he suddenly woke up:
Isn't that what it is...... Is quantum mechanics a theoretical cornerstone?
"Let's take the uranium atoms in this box......"
Alaya looked at the thoughtful Lei Luo, patted the iron box again, and said with a smile: "If we don't observe it all the time, then the state of the uranium atom is uncertain." ”
"In this state, the probability of its natural decay is about 50%, in short, the uranium atom may have been decaying, or it may not have been decaying, and we don't know what the specific situation is, because we have no observations."
"After all, the observation itself will affect its decay."
"That is to say, the Geiger counter is triggered, the poison bottle is broken, and the probability of the cat being poisoned is also 50%, this state of the cat is amazing, it seems to be dead, and it also seems to be alive, none of us can tell."
Lei Luo subconsciously fell into deep thought, and Naruto shouted from the side, "Isn't it? We can hear with our ears, even if we don't have to see with our eyes! If the poison bottle is broken, it will definitely make a sound, right? ”
Alaya glanced at Naruto in surprise, but then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he beckoned to him, "Come, you put your ear on it, come and listen." ”
Naruto looked unconvinced, and he didn't know if he was dissatisfied with Alayya's smile of control, or if he felt a sense of pity for the cat that was neither alive nor dead, anyway......
Without hesitation, he leaned his ear against the box.
Immediately after, his face changed.
Aware of this scene out of the corner of his eye, Lei Luo recovered from his contemplative state, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and nervously asked Naruto, "How?" What do you hear? ”
Xu was a little shocked in his heart, Naruto subconsciously opened his mouth wide, first looked up at the smiling and silent Alay, then turned his head to look at Lei Luo, and stumbled and said:
"I, I, I...... I heard ......"
"Continuous ...... The sound of glass breaking? ”
Broken glass? That is, a gas leak and the cat died?
Thinking of this, Lei Luo's eyes froze, but just as he was about to say something, a sudden movement in the box made him look suffocated, and his face instantly became trance-like.
The movement...... It seems like...... Is it a barrage of motley cat meows?
"Meow Meow ......"
"Now I'm going to give you a concept." The curvature of the corners of Alayya's mouth became larger and larger, and he violently lifted the lid, revealing the scene inside in front of Lei Luo and the others, and laughed loudly at the same time:
"The state of the cat is in a weird, high-speed quantum superposition state, and this is not only the embodiment of my ability, but also the power you have to master next."
Lei Luo looked at it and saw that the box was blurry, the movement of various objects, and the flickering of various colored light points one after another, as if they had all turned into a mass of afterimages, which he couldn't see clearly with his dynamic vision.
I can't barely make out until I turn on five times the speed......
The hammer kept lifting and smashing down, the poison gas cylinder broke and healed, healed and shattered, the poison gas either drifted away or disappeared, the white cat ran for a while and froze for a while, everything seemed to be repeating some kind of "process".
Is this what it is called...... Superposition? Uncertain?
The power of the quantum realm...... I see!
