Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sea of Negative Energy (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
As he spoke, Lucien took the issue of "The Elements", glanced at the title part, and found that the author was a strange Tel Aviv, a fourth-level arcanist and five-ring magician.
"Perhaps a new magician, and only such a young man can come up with this model without any constraints...... Lucien thought to himself.
This is not to say that Glass, Brooke, Fernando, Hathaway and others do not consider the possibility of the existence of negative energy states and antiparticles and if they do belong to this world, then in what form they should coexist with the original matter, but even if they have conjectures in this regard, they will not rashly put forward them, but think carefully and wait for the confirmation of the antiparticles.
If they come up with a similar conjecture model, there is only one reason, and that is that the conjecture model helps to discover and confirm antiparticles and negative energy states, which obviously "vacuum the ocean" of negative energy states are not.
In this treatise, Tel Aviv, an unfamiliar arcanist, proposes a "sea of negative states" that is ubiquitous and fills everywhere, starting from the basic properties of microscopic particles.
According to the principle proposed by Fernando, the electron always fills the "orbital" with the lowest energy level first, and the negative energy state is obviously lower than all the energy states discovered so far, and the electron will obviously jump in this direction, not to mention that the energy generated by this large-scale jump will destroy the entire universe, and all the experimental phenomena observed so far have strongly refuted this, so Dieppe, Larry and others, who were the first to deduce the negative energy state, will take it as proof that they are not thoughtful and the results are wrong.
Lucien proposed his own quantum equation to predict the existence of antiparticles. Many arcanists have the mentality of assuming it to be true for the time being, thinking about why the electrons did not "change" in this direction when there is a negative energy state, so Tel Aviv has a bold guess that the reason why the electrons do not "advance" to the negative energy state according to "instinct" is because the negative energy state has been filled with other electrons, and they cannot go further.
And, based on this form of electron arrangement, he deduced that electrons in negative states could not be observed by the Arcanists, at least not for now. So. In his model, everywhere in the world is full of electrons in negative energy states, densely packed, as if we are living in a "sea of negative energy states". Even if it's a vacuum. The same is true. There is no vacuum in the absolute sense, so this is a "sea of negative energy" that "submerges" the universe. It has an "endless" energy.
But the negative energy electron can also be excited, and when it absorbs energy and transitions into a normal electron that can be observed, there is a hole left in the "negative energy sea", which has the opposite charge and the same mass as the electron, that is, the positron, the antielectron, and the positive electron.
At this point, Tel Aviv continues to make bold guesses with the temperament of a magician, beyond the content of the "Dirac Sea" on the earth, he believes that this ubiquitous "sea of negative energy" is one of the reasons for the existence of magic and extraordinary power, and the essence of spiritual power, will, and magic patterns is to communicate this "sea of energy" in a special way, so as to obtain an unimaginable The amount of power that changes everything, so there are various sources of energy for magic and transcendent power, and this also provides some ideas for explaining the conservation of energy in magic.
Although a long time ago, the "Ice Witch" Helen quantitatively verified the conservation of mental power and magic energy: the amount of mental power consumed is equal to the energy originally contained in the magic, the reason why the destructive effect of some magic is far greater than the reduction of spiritual power is because they interact with the surrounding world in the actual reaction, causing chain changes, the most typical is the "Eternal Blazing Sun", but the question is, where does the consumed spiritual power come from?
The use of magic potions and other things to help restore mental power is a normal category, no one questions the source of energy, but the natural growth of mental power is quite strange, whether it is a slow recovery, or a rapid recovery under meditation, it is difficult to give a convincing source of energy, it is impossible to restore mental power out of thin air, right?
Prior to this, there were two mainstream explanations for this problem, one is that the recovery of spiritual power comes from the soul's own reaction, in the most popular terms, the soul is equivalent to a magnetically confined controllable fusion reactor, providing itself with reliable energy, but the problem that this explanation needs to face is still the same, even if the fusion reactor also needs raw materials, what does the soul rely on to consume to produce energy?
In this regard, the most "romantic" grand arcanist Oliver proposed a model that seems to be in line with the phenomenon, the soul consumes "itself", when the "self" is consumed, that is, the end of life, so the magic strength increases, the soul is enhanced, can delay aging, improve lifespan, so the use of various rituals can prolong life, because they are replenishing the consumption of soul essence.
However, this model has its own flaws, and even Oliver himself cannot fully agree with it, according to his theory, if there is as little magic as possible, or even no magic, then the upper limit of life will be greatly increased, but in actual observation, there is no essential life gap between the two types of arcanists who use less magic and those who use magic frequently.
Another mainstream explanation for the recovery of mental power is that the energy comes from the "real world", and "meditation" is a way to connect the soul with the "real world", which can be preliminarily confirmed from the fact that magicians can get feedback from the "real world" and other professions cannot.
As for where the "real world" is and how the energy is transmitted, that is another question.
However, this does not explain the phenomenon that knights, magical creatures, etc., can also restore their own consumption, unless they are also "connected" to the "Real World Realm" but are unable to get feedback from the "Real World Realm" for some reason.
Because there has been no progress on the question of what exactly the soul and the "real world" are, these two mainstream explanations remain only at the stage of conjecture, without the support of theories and formulas.
On the other hand, Tel Aviv's "Vacuum Sea of Negative Energy States" model, based on the Lucian equation and the antiparticles that can be found as the derivation, describes a ubiquitous sea of energy, and explains the problem of mental recovery in the simplest and clearest way.
"Meditation" is the soul communication "negative energy state sea", because it is ubiquitous, the energy is almost infinite, the soul can naturally absorb its energy to restore spiritual power, and the "real world" feedback is because the theory is more rigid and the world is real, resulting in corresponding changes in the cognitive world, and the communication with the "negative energy state" is instantly strengthened.
Similarly, this "negative energy sea" model also explains the reason why a small number of metamorphosis magics require a lot of energy, but very little energy is required for initial excitation, especially after Lucien proposed the mass-energy formula, the study of this part of the metamorphosis magic directly led to some people questioning the law of conservation of energy, but Helen designed a wonderful experiment to prove that energy is not conserved in the general sense.
The significance of this model is so great that after completing the main body of the thesis, Tel Aviv was uncontrollably grateful to the Council of Magic, to His Excellency "Atomic Mastery", to Lucian's equations, to the antiparticle conjecture, and to affectionately call his "negative energy sea" model "the source of magic" and "the transcendent sea".
"This is a significant paper, marking a new direction for the Arcanists' study of the nature of magic......" Lucien said pertinently.
Under the light of the magic crystal lamp, Heidi's eyes sparkled like a small crystal and said, "Teacher, do you approve of this model?"
It's just that his idea is very novel, and it gives us another path that may explain the nature of magic, but it is not a wrong path, it is still to be studied, everything is based on mathematics and experiments. Lucien said with a smile, not rashly refuting the model on the earth knowing that the model had been abandoned.
On the one hand, Lucien himself is also exploring in the fog, and the more he studies in the microscopic field, the more he feels that the root cause of the difference between the two worlds must be here, and the specific part is to be explored in the future, so he cannot blindly believe because the earth proves wrong, and must refute it with experiments and deductions completed by himself.
On the other hand, Lucien also hopes that this model will inspire the arcanists to think more about the nature of magic - for a long time in the past, the study of the nature of magic has been in a state of stagnation and difficulty, so that most of the arcanists have no interest in this aspect, and do not think about what magic will be, but take care of the nature of the world to study the nature of the world, create new magic and improve existing magic, hoping that in the future, they will be able to "go to the same end" This line of thinking seems to have been proven correct after Lucien proposed the observer effect in the microscopic realm.
"The teacher is right, this is only a possible model at the moment, but with it, it seems that the problem of the nature of magic does not need quantum purity, superposition, and observer effects. Reilia was lost in thought, and said a little dumbfounded, causing Heidi to chuckle, is this to say to her face that the teacher's "observer effect" conjecture is wrong?Well, Annick and Sprint must be very happy, their fancy for this paper is simply shown in their faces.
Lucien smiled: "This can only explain the source of energy in the essence of magic, but it can't be explained by what can communicate with the sea of negative energy, and why what can appear a variety of strange spells, and this may be the scope of the observer effect and quantum pure states and superposition states." ”
Annick and Sprint have no other theories to explain this issue, so even if Lucien can see that they disagree, there is no argument.
"What other papers?" Lucien asked casually, continuing to flip through the journal. (To be continued......)
PS: This chapter writes about several major schools of magic in the Magic Council's understanding of magic, so it was written a little slower, but it was still sent before midnight, asking for recommendation votes~
