In a word, she always felt that her character was terrible.

gloomy, autistic, timid, cowardly, and vain......

No matter how you look at it, it's hopeless.

Completely, hopelessly......

_

At the Tokiwadai Advanced Physics Laboratory, experiments continued.

This is an experiment using the largest particle accelerator in Gakuen City, called Hula_Hoop. Originally, this was in the original plan, and the experiment should have ended a month ago. But for some reason, I was forced to start again two months ago.

This has nothing to do with the particle accelerator itself, but rather with the fact that the physics laboratory on the Tokiwadai side was forced to call up the computer, resulting in the obsolete of experimental data that required continuous accumulation of observations.

Her task this time is to compare the experimental results with the theory and try to calculate the difference. Of course, it's not for her to do this alone, that's impossible. In fact, she mainly helps her mentor.

To be honest, the process is not only difficult, but also very tedious. Even adults may not have this patience.

However, she persevered.

You know, she has only been a student assistant for two months.

In fact, even the time she became a disciple of the director of the Tokiwadai Advanced Physics Laboratory was only two months.

It was a decision made after the accident at Tokiwadai's famous gymnasium.

This was a surprise, and even Tokiwadai's teachers were amazed at her amazing perseverance.

Talent is important to be a successful scholar, but perseverance is even more important. Because the so-called talent can only be unknown and natural. Only perseverance is something that can be determined.

The great perseverance that can endure everything is a talent that is more rare than talent.

Of course, just as things in the world are often not pure, there are other reasons why she was able to persevere.

Because it was she who caused the accident.

As the party who caused the accident, she was not punished in any way. On the contrary, it was her friend who contributed the most to the rescue process of this accident, and was given an additional punishment after the accident.

What about herself? It seems that there are also great benefits.

Although the current work is boring, it is actually a very high reward. Being able to work in the Tokiwadai Advanced Physics Laboratory is definitely not that simple.

At least none of Tokiwadai's factions have done this. Except for her.

In today's world of experimental physics, it is extremely difficult to succeed unless you come from a famous school or have worked in a world-renowned laboratory. Therefore, it can even be said that it provides a great boost for my future. (Uploader's note: Unfortunately, this is also true in reality.) ）

Even she knows very well that a large part of the reason for this is out of self-protection. Of course, there are certain expectations involved.

In order to respond to this expectation, she has been very attentive in this matter.

Her math skills are quite good, which is also due to the fact that her abilities require considerable mathematical knowledge at the application level. But even so, the job is not easy.

Seriously, the extent to which she was able to do so was far beyond everyone's surprise – even her teacher. It's just that she always seems to be accustomed to using an object that should not be used as a reference as a yardstick to measure herself.

"Hoshikawa, how are you doing over there?"

"That, I'm sorry. It's not easy, please give me some more time. ”

"It's okay, it's already done well. Don't push yourself too hard. ”

"I can probably barely ...... it"

"What do you mean? …… By the way, I forgot, your language skills are still recovering. ”

"Do you want to let Dome help?"

"Umihara? …… Her words were fine, but it was a very unpleasant feeling to owe Kurkov that bastard for something of this magnitude. ”

"I'm sorry, if I had her level......"

"No kidding, one of those people is scary enough. Kurkov's luck was good. ”

"I'm sorry ......"

"Don't keep apologizing, there's nothing wrong with that. Haiwon is special and there is no comparison. If you have to do it to the same extent as she can do it well, then I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can do it. Rest assured, this is not how we play. In short, it's good to take your time and don't rush. ”

"Teacher, am I not of any use?"

"No, you misunderstand the concept of a student assistant. Tokiwadai's model is 'teachers light the fire, students come on', so you don't have any problems doing it. Although you are both excellent, after all, you are limited by age. Being like Haiyuan is different, and that's not something that ordinary people can learn. ”

"However, Sensei, you also invited Dome before, right?"

"You know? This is not surprising, it is not normal not to want to invite her. But she refused. After all, the relationship between Kurkov and the Haiyuan family is there, not to mention that Haiyuan was also taught by him, so it is estimated that she doesn't want to be someone else's assistant. Ah, of course you're doing pretty well, at your level. ”

Yes, it's like it's misplaced. How it should be and how it shouldn't be is completely different.

Although I only noticed it after the accident, if I really think about it, it may have been like this from the beginning.

But if you don't find it, you don't think it exists......

No, maybe when it wasn't discovered, it really didn't exist.

I closed my eyes slightly, as if I realized myself again.

Above her level, what she has......

_

It was almost two hours before she finished her work and returned to her bedroom.

The roommate seems to be on an appointment with her brother today, so she is not in the dorm.

She pulled open the drawer of her desk and pulled out a small box.

A small, auto-refill-like box.

She knew that what was contained in it was unusual. She remembered the words of the woman who gave the box to her that day.

"In this world, there are things that are visible and things that are invisible. There are even things that change when you see them. It's up to you whether you want to know or not. A word of advice, if you're determined, it's best to try again after you've confirmed that you're in good health. ”

The core of this is still the accident.

It was almost incredible, and she had no memory of the accident.

In that May, her memory was missing for a few days. She didn't know why, she didn't even have room to look.

It's not memory loss, it's that there is no memory at all.

While she was still in the hospital, a woman told her that the key to finding the key was in this small box.

According to the woman, the box contained something very dangerous.

"If you don't want to die, you can only have one chance to explore. In addition, although it is for your self-defense, you should never use it unless you are about to die. Remember. ”

Today, the school's quantum detector was shut down for maintenance. Therefore, it can be said that it is the only chance.

Open the box and pour some of the white powder out slightly on the back of your hand. Like a drug addict, she stuck out her tongue and added to the back of her hand.

As she sat on the bed, she straightened her back like a catapult.

It was as if she had melted, and her form became uncertain.

_

When she regained consciousness, she found herself standing in the middle of a city.

It is said to be urban, but it is actually something that is difficult to describe.

It's just like a real city, with streets, buildings, and even passers-by. From this point of view, it is no different from an ordinary city.

But, in itself, it's all very different things.

Like a mirage, these compositions are not much different from ordinary cities, and they seem very thin.

Could it be that this is what the woman called "invisible"?

She stood in the middle of a city that lacked a sense of reality, and from time to time there was a noise around her, like an old-fashioned television set with a poor signal reception.

Like a distortion caused by the difference in air density above the flames, the whole city swayed.

Here's what the city is all about. That is, including the inhabitants of it.

Yes, even the inhabitants of this city are so weird.

For example, when she tries to ask a passer-by about the situation, the passerby instantly turns into a guide. In fact, no matter what she wants to do, the other person will become the corresponding person. But in any case, I will not get an answer other than myself.

It's like that for the whole city.

Could it be that this is what the woman said, the invisible? This phenomenon of unclear significance......

No, that's not right.

She is very good at physics, but she has already guessed what it is. Although there is too much unbelievability in this.

Once, the great Albert Einstein asked the Copenhagen School this question:

"When we don't look at the moon, doesn't the moon exist?"

Yes, it's exactly the same.

Why did passers-by change because of her intervention? That's because she's in the city, an observer. Until she intervenes, all possibilities exist. It was only when she observed that a certain possibility was determined.

Objectivity outside of being observed is really meaningless.

This sounds like gibberish, but amazingly, it is indeed an orthodox corollary of quantum mechanics.

This is the composition of the city.

Constructed by the uncertain quantum place unconsciously released by all the superpowers in the school city.,Uncertain things.。

Like Schrödinger's cat, this is the essence of this real but illusory city.

Amphibians between presence and absence, certainty and indeterminity. This is the truth of the city.

Like a mirage, there is neither anything nor nothing, nor anything more or less than nothing.

Historically, there has been a conceptual thing that has been described in this way. Even the great mathematician Euler was puzzled by its significance. This concept has its mathematical origins and is brought about by the square of negative numbers.

That's what is known as an imaginary number. Historically, its meaning was unclear until it was defined by a dotted line on the number line.

The same is true of this mirage-like city.

In terms of location,It coincides with the school city.,But it can't be touched.。 It is only because of its own ability that it is interfered with by itself.

Only in the urban legends of the school city have a place.,The imaginary school district,It's because of her ability that it's in front of her eyes.。

At this time, she was experiencing the wonderful but true stories of George Gamow's Mr. Tompkins.

Walking in this city full of uncertainties, what you see is constantly changing because of your observations. It's hard to believe that this is objective. In reality, however, it is.

Even the people who were changed by what she observed were real. Although they were just superpositions of wave functions before they were observed, this is not to say that they were unreal. It was only until she observed that their past and past were determined. Although theoretically, they have all been living here for a long time.

This contradiction is everywhere.

In such a city, even the existence of such a concept as time is a topic that is not clear to say.

How treacherous, but what a real city.

It's so ambiguous whether it's even changing.

What does this invisible world mean?

What is hidden in this invisible world?

Confused in unanswerable thoughts, she walked quietly in this uncertain city.

In the distance, there seemed to be a singing voice wafting over.

The familiar singing voice sang softly like a whisper.

"Look, look. The cat in the box doesn't know whether it's alive or dead. ”

"Look, look. The cat died in the box. ”

======================================================

Uploader's words:

Although in the novel, I have written quite a few genius characters. In the setting, a large number of such characters have been set. But here, I still want to say one thing - never believe in talent, let alone the stupid saying that genius is made by talent. Because, nothing like this has ever happened.

It is true that talent is a condition for the creation of genius. However, if you look closely at history, you will find that almost all successful geniuses have the amazing perseverance to achieve this achievement.

I can give some examples here.

Albert Einstein was, of course, a true genius, without a doubt. He spent more than a decade in the creation of the general theory of relativity, including years of pondering in the dreaded (allow me to use the word) differential geometry. It is important to note that his mathematician friend who directed him at the time even warned him that the field was too complex and difficult for physicists to set foot in. In fact, until now, solving Einstein's field equations has been a daunting task. Without amazing perseverance, it's hard to imagine that this is a job that can be done on your own.

Planck, who discovered the concept of quantum, wasted three whole years in vain before finding the formula for black-body radiation. You can see from his manuscripts during this period of time what a painful and painful process it was.

Even Newton himself was included in the list. Apple's story is almost certainly made up by him. In fact, it was not until 1684, when his On Motion, was published that he obtained a complete and correct formula for gravitation. From 1665 to 1684, it took 20 years.

In fact, if you look at history carefully, you will understand that there has never been a case of success based on talent.

Of course, talent, perseverance, and luck are the three main elements of success, that's for sure. However, I think perseverance is the most important thing. Without talent or luck, it is true that you can't achieve much success. But without perseverance, you will never succeed.

So my advice here is: to discuss whether you have talent, first make sure that you have perseverance. If you don't have this amazing perseverance, stop there.
