"Did you get any valuable information from his mentor in Beijing?" The doctor asked. George shrugged regretfully when he heard this question, "They found a group of unprofessional people, and before they could ask for any key information, the old man had a heart attack, and those people ran away first for fear of their lives." Now we have cut ties with them so as not to affect our other projects in China. ”

The sound of hurried high-heeled leather boots tapping on ancient marble tiles could be heard from far and near. "I'm sorry to keep you two waiting." A soft, slightly rich female voice. "Ah, dear Elizabeth, why have you arrived, we have been waiting for you for a long time." George stood up and hugged his cousin. The doctor also stood up and shook hands with the head of the Hecate Group's aerospace research center.

Elizabeth Hecate, Ph.D. in mathematics and computer science, is one of the best in the new generation of this wealthy family. She has a pair of gray-green eyes that are characteristic of her family, blond curly hair, and a long figure, and she takes off her black cashmere coat, revealing a loose beige sweater and decent trousers. The three of them briefly greeted each other for a while, and then cut to the chase.

George asks Elizabeth if there has been any recent progress in deciphering the key, and that he and Dr. Emmons' plan to read the memories and subconscious of Lee Kwang-han's deep cerebral cortex has failed. Elizabeth didn't seem surprised, she had already thought that this biological method was undesirable. But it's not going well on her side either. She turned on her laptop and demonstrated to George and Dr. Emmons how the Warrior worked.

Elizabeth explains: "Because the probe, which has been in space for more than 40 years, represents the most advanced technology in the 70s, its equipment is gradually aging, and it is flying farther and farther, to the edge of the solar system. After reawakening, various cosmic signals and pictures transmitted to Earth were intermittent. This year is the peak year of solar flare activity, and many high-energy rays in the universe have severely interfered with the signal. During the day, the quantum signal is basically swallowed up by sunlight and cannot be received, so it can only be better at night. And because the information transmission time in space is too long, the key we deciphered is seriously lagging. ”

George asked anxiously, "Judging from the results of the decipherment of all the previous intercepted key messages, how far are we from the core secret?"

"In addition to the most critical prediction of the signal about the major floods this year, it is estimated that there are half of the secrets that we do not have in hand. But the part that we're most interested in should not go wrong is who is the only person on Earth who can receive this quantum information in a coherent and complete instant. Based on the deciphered textual content, accurate latitude and longitude measurements, and taking into account factors such as the rotation of the earth, the revolution, and the time difference between the true sun, I must have been Lee Kwang Han. In the past few years, I have deciphered the information intercepted and transmitted back by the 'Warrior' before its hibernation, which is mainly based on various astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry and other knowledge, which is more advanced than our current civilization, and has a much higher degree of scientific and technological development, so it can be said that it is an earth-like world. But the strange thing is that some of the geographical names of this kind of earth are the same as ours, such as the Kunlun Mountains in China. The names for the stars of the Milky Way are similar, such as Sirius. However, after the 5-year hibernation in the middle, there is no coherence, and it is more difficult to decipher the quantum signals behind. Elizabeth looked helplessly at George and Dr. Emmons.

15 Parallel Universes

A hint of displeasure crossed George's face, and he half-jokingly said, "I hope you can be at least half right." According to your deciphered prophecy, I have sold a lot of low-lying mature mines at a low price, and I have bought a lot of new mines and farmland in the plateau area with a lot of money!"

The doctor's eyes lit up and he said, "Is it possible that this is the parallel universe in quantum theory?" Quantum particles of the same amount can be in two different places at the same time, two related quanta, entangled with each other, influencing each other, no matter how far apart they can be sensed, and the communication and interaction between them is faster than the speed of light. Quantum particles are the most basic unit of this world, that is, the particles that make up the universe in which humans live are likely to exist in space outside the universe at the same time, forming another universe. Since the aerial probe can intercept the quantum signals emitted by this Earth-like body, it means that there must be a parallel world of the Earth. It's just that we didn't know it before. ”

George and Elizabeth's eyes widened as they listened intently to the doctor's explanation. Anyone who grew up studying classical physics will be confused about trying to understand quantum physics with the habitual thinking of classical physics.

The doctor continued, "While a quantum can appear in different positions at the same time, it does not have the same state. In other words, the trajectory of the parallel universe is not consistent with the trajectory of the universe in which we live. What has happened in this space-time combination is likely to appear in another space-time later, which is why we have a sense of déjà vu. It can be said that we in the parallel universe and us on the earth live in different times, different places, and live different lives, just like two parallel lines do not intersect each other. ”

"Then why did that person in the parallel universe send a quantum signal to Lee Kwang-han on Earth, and why didn't that 'I' send me any message? Why can't I sense anything? Elizabeth asked. George said he had the same problem.

"That's because most people are in a noisy world, and they don't feel it obviously. Lee Kwang-han himself doesn't seem to be able to sense it. But according to quantum theory, there is an induction between two entangled quanta. If you perturbate quantum A, quantum B will react accordingly. This reaction is instantaneous, beyond the four-dimensional space-time, and there is no need to wait for a long time. Academically, it is called quantum state teleportation, which transmits not the particle itself but the information carried by the quantum state, and it does not require any carrier. That's why we sometimes have inexplicable feelings, fears, good or bad premonitions, dreams like worldly dreams, familiar people or places, and so on. With quantum theory, these are easy to explain. ”

Elizabeth said impatiently, "Doctor, you still haven't fully answered my question. George lit another cigar, the smoke of the cigar flickering, and George squinted as he waited for the doctor's next words.

"If I'm not mistaken, the other 'Li Guanghan' in this parallel universe should be the only person on that kind of earth who has mastered quantum signal transmission technology." In addition to being able to telepathically send his knowledge, memories, and subconscious to another self in a parallel universe, he also sends quantum signals to the universe. It's just that this signal requires a highly sensitive receiver to receive and transmit back to Earth, and it will also lag. The signals we intercept now are incomplete, and there will be errors in decipherment, and the best information carrier is actually Lee Kwang-han himself. The doctor affirmed.
