Chapter 88: Interpretation (Part 2)

When we want to observe the wave property of the electron, so when we experiment with a double-slit alchemy device, we will find that it has obvious wave characteristics - interference fringes, and when we try to observe the particle nature of the electron, so we add a recorder near each of the two gaps, the interference fringes disappear and the pure particle nature is revealed......

This is the reality of the world? What we want, what the electrons manifest? Observation changes the world?

I don't know how many arcanists in the Dao have their heads in a mess, which is more confused than when analyzing the arcane meaning of strange magic, which involves their understanding of the entire world and their own understanding! They used to think that only with the help of magic can all kinds of unbelievable and unreasonable phenomena appear in the world of the world, who knows that the bottom and foundation of the real world world - the micro realm, is a place that is more strange than magic and more exaggerated than fantasy!

"Is this the embodiment of the principle of complementarity in wave-particle duality? Wave and particle properties cannot appear together, one is certain at the same time, and the other disappears instantly, thus exhibiting the principle of indeterminacy?" Larry controlled his shock, surprise, excitement, and excitement, and thought about the arcane principle of Lucian's electron double-slit interference experiment.

He warned himself that at this time, he must not connect the microscopic realm with the macrocosmic realm, otherwise he will confuse cognition and contradict all kinds of real things in the material realm, so that he will be at a loss or even contradict himself.

"When the microscopic realm transitions to the macroscopic realm, there must be other factors that make the wave function collapse. Let the volatility disappear and the particle nature ...... determined" Arcanists such as Annick, Sprint, Dieppe, and Timothy also kept reminding themselves that otherwise they would be shaken by Lucian's electron double-slit interference experiment!

Only by believing in similar ideas can they accept the results of the current experiments in the microscopic field.

This is perhaps the most subversive and incredible realm in the history of arcane and magic!

Although the middle and low-level arcanists are still beginners in the microscopic realm, and they have not used this to construct their own cognitive world, the various unbelievable results and inferences in the microscopic realm are contradictory to the common sense of the macroscopic realm, and these common senses are the basis of their outlook on life, worldly realm, and values, so they still have blank or painful expressions, and they have tasted the helplessness of the impact of the three views.

"It's worthy of the Three-View Destroyer...... "I don't know how many Arcanists cursed in fear in their hearts.

After the strong impact of the electron double-slit interference experiment slowly subsided, the outstanding arcanists in the microscopic field, such as Larry, Dieppe, Annick, and Splinter, showed a slightly excited expression. This experiment gave them a deeper understanding of the wave-particle duality and complementarity principle of electrons. Passionate about exploring the micro field!

"I have a question. Suddenly, Oliver, whose expression was slightly distorted, stepped forward, and the dim light around him returned to normal, and he almost knew that the world was shaken just now. Hurt yourself.

Lucien bowed slightly: "Just ask." ”

Larry and Dieppe looked over curiously: "What other questions does Lord Oliver have?"

Oliver took a slight breath: "Observe the change results." What is the specific definition of this observation? This involves the transition from the microscopic realm to the macroscopic realm. ”

"This observation refers to the observation that we make about electrons by various means. Lucien replied calmly. The curtains of the eyes drooped, covering the emotions in the pupils.

Oliver had calmed down, a smile on his lips. In a poetic tone, he said, "The core is us?" Then I have a thought experiment, I think everyone knows about the decay of the atomic nucleus, right?"

Samantha, Rachel, Heidi and the others all nodded quietly, elemental decay is one of the several major branches of the microscopic realm, His Excellency the Storm Lord and His Excellency the Elemental Dominator have just won the Evans Arcane Award for their research on it, and it represents a new energy direction, representing a powerful lethal legendary magic, there is no arcanist who does not pay attention to this field!

Oliver continued: "Assuming that this nucleus has a 50 percent chance of decaying, then we would design such an experimental setup......

He described an ingenious experimental design in which the decay of an atomic nucleus would trigger a cascade of reactions that would eventually break a glass vial containing a deadly curse.

"If we put a poor cat in this experimental setup, we can describe it as a fifty percent chance that the cat will be killed by a curse. When Oliver explained the experimental device, Annick and Sprint's faces suddenly turned pale, and they seemed to have something terrible in mind.

Dieppe, Larry, Yurisian, and other outstanding arcanists in the microscopic realm couldn't help but tremble their hands slightly, their faces turned pale, because they had probably guessed what Lord Oliver was trying to say, he wanted to connect the microscopic realm with the macroscopic realm through a simple and ingenious experimental device!

In the curious eyes of most of the arcanists, Oliver's voice rose slightly: "If we seal this experimental device and do not observe it, then according to Lucian's interpretation, the nucleus belonging to the microscopic realm will exhibit a quantum superposition state, in a mixed superposition of decay and non-decay, and such a magical state will not randomly collapse into a definite result until we observe it." ”

"What I want to ask you is, what about the poor cat? Since decay happens it will die, and if it doesn't decay it will live, then the quantum superposition of the atom is equivalent to the state it is in? This means that it is in the quantum superposition of life and death in the experimental device?"

"Is this possible?"

"Or will the cat's observation also cause the wave function to collapse, so that the result is determined?"

Boom, the faces of Larry, Dieppe, and the others have turned from iron blue to pale, and the superposition of life and death? A cat that is alive and dead? No magic can produce this state! Lord Oliver has magnified the wonders of the microscopic realm to the macrocosmic realm with a delicate and ingenious simple experiment!

This makes it impossible for them to ignore this problem anymore, which makes them have to face the huge contradiction between the micro realm and the macro world, and have to think about the mystery of transition. If it weren't for the Grand Arcanist who came up with this experiment, Sprint would have wanted to say, I'm going to strangle that cat, so there would be no contradiction!

They had just agreed with Lucian's interpretation due to the electronic double-slit interference experiment, and their faces were in hot pain, as if they had been slapped hard.

Oliver looked at Lucien, who was silent on the podium, "What is the state of this cat?"

Due to the fact of the state transition experienced by Immortal Yongdao and Lucian, he is not exclusive to the concept of quantum superposition, but what he does not understand is at what scale quantum superposition can be established, and microscopic particles such as electrons, protons, and atoms can still be extended to molecules. Extend to the cell. Extending to ordinary creatures, to intelligent life, only by figuring out this boundary can we find the reason for the disappearance of quantum superposition, thus laying the arcane foundation for a safe and unhidden god-like path!

So. He was not satisfied with the rough interpretation of Lucian's observation that caused the disappearance of quantum superposition states. Human observation causes collapse. What about other intelligent beings, ordinary cats without magic, inanimate matter, molecules on a smaller scale?

As Oliver asked, all eyes were on Lucian, waiting for his answer.

Lucien still lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Yes." Cats are in a quantum superposition of life and death. ”

"What?" I don't know how many voices sounded, the superposition of life and death? Can cats be in this state, but what about humans? Why have we never felt it?

The other Grand Arcanists listened in silence as the two men spoke, while Oliver said in a low voice, "What about the human? It's not the poor cat that's locked up in the experimental device, it's the human, and he's in a quantum superposition of life and death?"

"No, at this time the wave function collapses, and the result is determined, either life or death, there will be no superposition of life and death. Lucien replied as quickly as if he had already thought about it.

Oliver stepped forward again: "What's the difference between that man and a cat?

Lucien moved the corners of his mouth slightly, but still spoke: "Consciousness, the participation of consciousness, the conscious intelligent observer can make the wave function collapse." ”

All the Arcanists were shocked, not expecting Lucien to explain it this way, and if consciousness and intelligent observers were responsible for the disappearance of the quantum superposition, there would be a lot of terrible facts!

Fernando, who had endured it for a long time, roared, and a terrifying air pressure was generated in the large classroom: "That is to say, before the appearance of the conscious observer, the entire world realm, the entire universe, was in a state of wave function, in a state of diffuse probability cloud without substance, and then after a long wait, the first observer was born, and then the universe and the world realm collapsed, taking on what we see now?"

The universe has been pervasive for hundreds of millions of years, just to wait for "you" affectionate glance?

This is more than ridiculous! It's a madman's dream!

"What can't be like this, what is the point of what state it is in before the first observer?" Lucien did not make eye contact with the teacher.

Douglas couldn't help it, and said solemnly: "Does that mean that there is a first observer, the first supreme observer?

Not only Brooke and Oliver could not agree, but even Helen and Hathaway, who were relatively more accepting of Lucien's interpretation, shook their heads firmly after he proposed an observer's explanation.

Lucien suddenly raised his head and looked at all the arcanists: "Haven't you ever thought about what is supernatural power for Lu, and what is magic for Lu?"

"Starting from consciousness, starting from the observer effect, maybe it's a path!"

The magnetic, restrained voice echoed in the large classroom, striking the hearts of all the arcanists, including Douglas, Brooke, and Fernando, yes, what is the nature of magic, this is the question that the Council has been exploring since its inception! This is the question that will inevitably arise after humans have witnessed all kinds of transcendent phenomena! Unless humans stop thinking and spend their lives in the same muddled as cats and dogs!

The more they know about the reality of the world, the more the arcanists wonder about it, just like Lucian's uncertainty principle, because there seems to be no place for magic in the laws that are close to the truth of the world!

Consciousness, the observer effect, maybe it's really the path of explanation?

Annick looked at the teacher on the podium, his heart was extremely struggling, the teacher was so personable, so majestic, so majestic, the correctness all the time made people can't help but believe his words, follow his footsteps, he is the most authoritative master in the micro field and the macro starry sky!

In his own mind, the teacher is so tall, towering like a mountain, an existence that he has looked up to all his life, and an idol that he can't keep up with if he desperately catches up.

However, why would the teacher propose such an explanation for the transition from the microscopic to the macroscopic realm, that is, the collapse of the wave function?

Did I think wrong?

Is it past experience and my imagination that have deceived me?

Looking sideways, he saw the blank expressions of Heidi, Katrina and the others, and saw the twisted face of Sprint's clenched teeth.

In the strange silence, Lucian's deep and mellow voice sounded again: "The first observer may not be a transcendent being, but may be the same as us. ”

"As for the supreme observer whom His Excellency fears, that is, the gods who throw the dice, we can ignore it. ”

"Thinking back to the experiment just now, my observations led to a change in the properties of electronics, and I can complete such observations, and each of you can do them. ”

"The god who throws the dice does exist, but he is not outside, but in the hearts of each of us, each of us is our own supreme god!"

Douglas, Fernando, Atlante, and the others looked at Lucian in shock, while the others were also shocked by Lucian's words, and the scene fell into extreme silence and silence for a while.

Suddenly, someone in the lecture seat stood up directly, just like the Grand Arcanist, Archmage, and the others who arrived later.

"Annick?" Lucien looked at the man who had risen.

"Teacher......" Annick slurred a few times in his throat, and finally said weakly but firmly:

"I don't think your explanation is quite correct. ”

After saying that, he did not shyly look away and buried his head as he had done in the past, but looked at Lucien firmly.

"Teacher, I also think there is a problem with your explanation. After struggling, the tall and thin Sprint also stood up suddenly, and stubbornly raised his chin slightly and said loudly under the stunned eyes of Heidi, Katrina, Reilia, Larry, Dieppe, and others.

His hands clenched into fists. (To be continued......)
