Chapter 355: Quantum Entanglement
He kept panting like an ox, and it took a long time before he finally calmed down.
I saw that he was calming down, so I cautiously asked, "Then let's continue to talk about the topic just now!?" โ
Hu Yanzhi's eyes glared at me a little unkindly, and finally he said with some dissatisfaction: "Okay, for the sake of you being Mina's chosen person, I'll give you another chance." โ
He snorted lightly before continuing: "We have just finished talking about Schrรถdinger's cat, which has been rotten in literature, and we can enter the explanation of quantum entanglement. First of all, the knowledge of quantum mechanics is very complex, and in order to make it easier for you to understand, I chose to use macroscopic examples instead. For example, there is a closed warehouse with a basketball hoop in the warehouse, and I want to know exactly where the basketball hoop is placed. There are four possible options for where the basketball hoop is placed, we call them 'A', 'W''S', 'D' four points, when I opened the warehouse to look, I found that the basketball hoop was placed in the 'D' position. So the question is, where is the basketball hoop before I go into the warehouse to check it out? โ
"Isn't that easy? Since you found it at point D, it means that the basketball hoop is placed at point D? Do you still need to ask? I feel like this question is a bit too much......" Zhang Qiang muttered unimpressed.
Hu Yanzhi glanced at Zhang Qiang, and suddenly let out a string of strange laughter that was similar to Lai Guiqiong, and after talking for a long time, he said: "You are really a simple person!" Hahaha, it doesn't matter, from a macro perspective, your statement is fine. As this young man just said, in the macrocosm, we see the basketball hoop at point D, then the warehouse must also be placed at point D before I open it, which is the reality of matter. But now we're talking about thinking about the problem from the point of view of quantum mechanics, so the answer is not fixed. Because they believe that before we open the warehouse, the basketball hoop can be at any point, or there may be no point at any point, and only the moment we open the warehouse, its actual state is determined, or in other words, only the moment we open the warehouse, the basketball hoop is immediately collapsed to point D. This is one of the most central secrets of quantum mechanics. That is, it can exist anywhere or not at all before it is observed or measured. Next, if you imagine the example I just mentioned in a microscopic particle observation, you can understand it. โ
Listening to the nonsense, everyone was a little fascinated, and seemed to be attracted by this novel speech.
Hu Yanzhi looked at the expressions of each of us with great satisfaction, and then continued: "Now we imagine in our minds that there is such a particle, and suppose its spin is 0. At a certain moment, it split like this, splitting into two. One to the left, one to the right, flying in opposite directions, just like the state of the machine that bakes popcorn is turned on. There are two possibilities for these two particles to spin out, one in two and one in two negative ones. The moment two particles fly out, their spin may be one-half or one-minus. As in the example I just gave, there is a state of non-life and non-death at the same time. None of us knew their state until we observed it, but ......"
"But what??" Du Deming couldn't help but ask.
"But once we observe the moment one of these particles, for example, if we observe that the spin of one particle is negative one-half, then the spin of the other particle must be one-half, and vice versa. Do you understand? That is, as long as we observe the result of one of the particles, then at that moment, the result of the other particle must be absolute. We call the state of these two particles before they are observed 'entangled states'. This is also in line with the law of conservation of mass. We call this phenomenon quantum entanglement or quantum entanglement. โ
"Oh, when you say that, I understand. That is, as long as the spin of one of the two particles is observed, the other particle must be in the opposite state. Zhang Qiang suddenly opened up under the explanation of nonsense, and he was surprised with a thoughtful expression: "The phenomenon you mentioned, I thought of an example in reality!" โ
"Oh? Let's talk about it. Hu Yanzhi squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Qiang with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with his answer.
"Twins!! It's that kind of inexplicable telepathy! For example, the two twins, for various reasons, have been raised in different places since they were children, but no matter how far apart they are, there is always an inexplicable connection in their hearts. For example, if something happens to one of them, the other will definitely feel it, and some will even feel heartache. In the past, others called this feeling an omen. In this way, this theory can explain the phenomenon of twins! Zhang Qiang said, with a smug expression on his face, he looked at me: "How is it, we can still understand, right?" โ
I looked at Zhang Qiang with a helpless smile.
When Hu Yanzhi heard this, he also laughed, as if he hadn't been so happy for a long time.
"That's right. Like he said. Many seemingly mysterious phenomena in reality can actually be explained by this theory. That's why there is a classic saying - God doesn't roll dice. Of course, I am not a student of quantum mechanics, and what I can explain to you is only scratching the surface, so that you can better understand what I am saying from a philosophical level. โ
"Wait, we understand what you've said, but what exactly do you want to tell us?" Du Deming interrupted his tirade.
"You...... Still don't understand? Hu Yanzhi listened to Du Deming's words, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He seemed to be like a devout believer, his eyes were solemn and serious, staring at Du Deming's face with nonsense, and said word by word: "The human body is composed of particles, and since each particle has another particle entangled with it, then that is to say, even if the human body has really ended its physiological functions, then he still exists in another form, in another space, or in a parallel universe." That is to say......"
"That is?" I swallowed, as if aware of what he was trying to say, and as if my mouth was being pulled by something, I slowly spoke: "Souls actually exist. โ
