Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Old and the New (Congratulations to Ms. Fydia of the Eighteenth League)

"Don't dictate what the truth of the world should be?"

With Lucian's words, Douglas, Fernando, Brooke and others were silent for a moment, indeed, they think that the truth of the world should not be dice, but it does not mean that it is really not, it is just their own opinion, the belief that is inferred from various natural phenomena.

After more than ten seconds, Douglas sighed: " I will use experiments to prove that the truth of the world is not a dice, in fact, have you ever thought that the so-called probability cloud does not exist at all, the wave function represents only the group of electrons that conform to this probability, not a single electron, their own trajectories are not ubiquitous, but have a fixed line, which is closely related to this probability distribution, but we cannot observe and confirm it for the time being, so they appear chaotic after passing through a single crystal, until the overall probability appears. ”

Whether he was willing to admit Lucian's interpretation of probability and uncertainty or not, he reflected on himself, and instead of replacing the true nature of the world with what he thought was true, and then refute it from this perspective, he should prove the error from the contradictions of Lucian's theory itself and the results of rigorous experiments, which is a good arcane attitude.

So, he put forward his opinion based on the impressions he had after a cursory reading of the paper.

The disappearance of the "True Secret Realm" led to the disappearance of other visions, and Lucian's atomic universe also converged, and replied very seriously: "Your Excellency, Speaker, not to mention the contradiction between your conjecture and many derivations, as long as we complete the electron double-slit interference experiment, we can verify whether it is correct or wrong." ”

"If the electron had its own trajectory like a real particle before it was observed. Then it can only pass through one gap at a time, and it can't be separated, and whether the interference fringes can appear and the appearance of the last pattern are all related to the distance between the two gaps, so if the electron double-slit interference experiment can really be established, then how can the electron know the distance between the gap it passes through and the other gap, so it strictly requires itself to fall in a certain area, not another area?"

It's like a labyrinth, with seven different colored passages at the entrance, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and the exit is only blue, the right path, for the "waves" that can extend in space. It is equivalent to opening the entrance and exit at the same time. Naturally, it is known that the blue of the road is the correct path, and the particle with a fixed trajectory, that is, a "person", cannot know the state of the exit at the same time after opening the entrance. How can you strictly follow the right path every time. And not another channel?

For legendary magicians like Douglas and Brooke. The double-slit interference experiment was at the heart of the previous Wave-Particle War, and it was no stranger to understanding Lucian's words. They all nodded, as long as this experiment of electrons is completed, it can fully show whether electrons are really everywhere before observation, like strange ghosts.

Lucien continued: "Actually, there are many interesting verifications in this experiment, if there is really a double-slit interference fringe, then we close the other gap at the moment when the electron passes through one of the gaps, do you say that it will still follow the path of interference to the sensing screen, or will it immediately 'know the way' of closing the other gap, so change its own state and go to the path of diffraction?"

For Douglas and Fernando's Hathaway, who are more inclined to particle theory, such a thought experiment pushes the strangeness of the electron to a more shocking place, if the electron changes its state, it either means that it is a real wave, without particles, so it passes through two gaps at the same time, or we can only believe Lucian's description, it is a probability wave, pervasive in space, everywhere, or another more bizarre possibility, electrons are intelligent life, have their own consciousness and ability, and therefore can " Sensing and knowing the condition of the gap on the other side, so as to adjust yourself.

Although the latter may be very much in line with the situation of the magical world, it contradicts the existence of human beings themselves, and the basis of matter has its own consciousness, so isn't it true that everyone has countless consciousnesses that do not belong to themselves?

Seeing that His Excellency the Speaker and the teacher were thinking silently, Lucien bowed his head slightly and said: "I know that the gap required for electronic double-slit interference is very narrow and small, which cannot be achieved by the current magic experimental conditions, but I also know that many legendary magic applications have come to the front, and I believe that Your Excellency the Speaker After a few years of improvement, you will complete similar magic arrays, alchemy devices or legendary magic, and when the time comes, everything will be very clear." ”

At this time, Oliver looked at Lucian solemnly, no longer with the polite appearance of a playboy: "Even if the electron can complete the double-slit interference, it does not mean that you are a probability wave, but it further proves my idea that the electron is a real wave, but it only exhibits particle properties in the form of wave packets in a special state." ”

Lucian smiled: "Oliver, this idea of yours contradicts the results of many current experiments, those chaotic points of light are the best evidence, and your interpretation even in your paper on solving the model of atomic structure, there are certain problems, this point, I believe that someone has pointed out, the particle nature of electrons cannot be doubted, and the experimental results such as mass, charge, and momentum are confirmed beyond doubt." ”

"Just because you're faulty doesn't mean you can't improve, at least it's more reliable than your probabilistic interpretation, which is like a madman talking in a dream. Oliver expressed his disgust at the interpretation of probability, "I'll find a way to prove its fallacy!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, he needed a quiet environment to think about the loopholes in Lucian's three papers, the loopholes that could kill them in one blow.

Seeing Oliver leaving, Douglas looked at Lucian seriously: "I will try the electron double-slit interference experiment, and I will also design more thought experiments to demonstrate." ”

The so-called thought experiment is an experiment that exists in the imagination, which excludes the influence of any environment and other factors, excludes the limitations of the experimental conditions, and simply theoretically explores whether the experiment can be completed under perfect conditions, so as to prove the error or possibility, which is a common method used by arcanists.

Brooke also nodded slightly: "Everything speaks for itself in terms of the results of the experiment." ”

"I believe that the results of a large number of current experiments are in line with your probabilistic interpretation, but I also believe in your interpretation. Your quantum mechanics are incomplete and ignore a lot of things. Douglas said kindly but firmly, and then left with Brooke and Vicente, leaving only Fernando, Heather, and Helen in a daze.

Fernando's red eyes were still staring at Lucian, and Lucian also looked at him without fear, and after a long time, he waved his hand: "I need to be quiet, I need to think about how to verify your probability misinterpretation." ”

It's a subversion of the entire arcane and magical system, even if you're as enlightened as he is, and love your students like him. I also had to stand on the side of the truth in my heart. This is a glorious belief that has been inherited from the Magic Empire to the Magic Council for many years.

Lucien nodded slightly, sighed, and left Fernand's study with Hathaway and Helen.

Hathaway probably regained her composure and thought for a moment, "The probability cloud of electrons is more unacceptable than waves. But if all the results point strictly to it. No matter how hard it is, I have to accept it. The world is not subject to our will, but at least so far, it has not been able to convince us strongly. ”

She also voiced her opposition. But it is not as intense and determined as the great arcanists such as Douglas in the astral system, Brooke in the electromagnetic system, and Oliver.

It's not that she has a better arcane attitude, it's not that she's more open-minded, it's just that her field of expertise is the elements, the atoms, the microcosm, the particles, the new alchemy!

Helen came back from her daze and looked at Lucien in a daze: "In the report you submitted, the condition of the Immortal Dao is very similar to the statement of the probability cloud, and you got the inspiration from here? But how can the quantum state of microscopic particles appear in the macroscopic realm? This is the secret of immortality? The real secret is not in the Immortal Secret Room, but in the Immortal Dao?"

She was half a student of Douglas, and she was instinctive when she asked what was going on, and she could rationally remember Lucian's immortal report without participating in the argument.

"It really inspired me, but it was more based on the results of a lot of experiments. As for what immortal Dao will make the microscopic wonder appear in the macrocosm, that is a question to be studied by us, and perhaps it really contains the secret of immortality. When Lucien came up with the probabilistic interpretation, he guessed that others would associate it with it, so he generously "admitted" it.

With the endorsement of "Immortal Yongdao", Helen showed thoughtfulness, and Hathaway quietly rubbed her chin.

"I'll design experiments to prove the truth or error of your probabilistic interpretation and uncertainty principle. Helen said truthfully, "Immortal Yongdao" is like this, does not mean that electrons must be like this, maybe it is something else?

However, her tone is also more neutral than Oliver, Brooke, and Vicente.

............

Since the probabilistic interpretation and uncertainty principles had not yet been conclusively proven, Lucien naturally did not need to create an atmosphere of discussion for the Arcanists to accept, as before, and directly submitted the three papers synthesized "Quantum Mechanics and New Alchemical Foundations" to the Arcane Review Committee.

The papers were undoubtedly forwarded to the Elemental Realm Commissioner, and Larry, as the new commissioner, had seen them in his own home.

"Lord Evans' paper?" Papers like this would certainly not be reviewed by students and journal arcanists, and Larry looked at it expectantly.

Looking at it, the expression on his round face with a beard completely froze, as if the most terrifying and amazing monster in front of him was about to break free and devour the entire arcane system.

"How can this be...... This explanation is ridiculous......" Larry muttered to himself, but he quickly recalled the large number of results of his experiments, and frowned a little, "Perhaps, this explanation is not impossible, there must be other factors from the micro realm to the macro world that make the probability disappear, at least the world world we are in is real, objective, and material." ”

He really grew up in the wave brought by the new alchemy in the past few years, so he has a heartfelt identification with the new alchemy and the strangeness of microscopic particles, and the influence of past experience and theory is much less on him, and he is not so exclusive to this absurd theoretical explanation, especially since it is consistent with a large number of experimental results and can solve many problems. (To be continued......)

PS: It's a little delayed, it's late, I'm sorry

PS: Thank you Ms. Fydia for being the leader of the alliance~

PS2: I had a friend's suggestion before, and I felt that I was better at using "regulations" than "mandatory", so I revised the last sentence of the previous chapter.
