"I wonder if the god of fate affects the luck of humans or beasts, by influencing chaos, or by influencing the randomness at the bottom of the universe."

After the start command was issued to the quantum random number generator of each black box, Lu Ming looked at the rows of black boxes outside the window and said slowly.

He knew that at this moment, with the arrival of the launch command, the quantum random number generator must have generated a random number that was directly related to the randomness of the underlying universe. At this moment, there must be a part of the poison gas device in the black box that was triggered, releasing the poison gas and killing the piglets in it, and there must be some black boxes that have not changed at all, and the piglets in it are alive and well.

Or, to use the language of quantum physics, it is: the pigs in the black box at this moment are in a superposition of life and death, they are dead and alive. However, it is only after the black box is opened that their superimposed state collapses and changes into a definite "living state", or "dead state".

In this way, the randomness at the bottom of the universe is amplified by this device, affecting the living beings that exist in the real world.

More than 100 years ago, a great scientist named Schrödinger proposed a thought experiment known as "Schrödinger's cat". Its basic principle is basically the same as the experiment carried out by Lu Ming at this moment. The difference is that the pig in the black box has been replaced by a cat.

Schrödinger's purpose in proposing this thought experiment was only to satirize the so-called superposition states of quantum physics. After all, a microscopic particle can be in a superposition state, how can a macroscopic life form like a cat be in a superposition state?

But the end result basically proves that superposition and randomness really exist.

Like Bell's inequality, Schrödinger's cat is widely known for not only failing to falsify quantum physics, but actually confirming it.

In essence, the Schrödinger cat, or the Schrödinger pig at the moment, is just a thought experiment. No one is bored enough to reproduce them in the real world. But at this moment, Lu Ming really reproduced them in the real world.

Facing Lu Ming's words, He Wei still had some doubts in her heart.

"With this quantum random number generator, can we determine how the god of fate influences these little pigs, uh, luck?"

"Of course."

Lu Ming nodded: "The probability of each black box's quantum random number generator generating 0 or 1 is strictly 50%. Spawn 0 and the piglet will die. Spawn 1, the piglet will not die. At this moment, 530 piglets participating in this experiment did not participate in the sacrifice, and their luck is normal. There were 430 heads involved in the sacrifice, and they were less lucky.

So, you say, which piglet dies more after the end of the trial? Is it normal luck or bad luck? ”

"Bad luck, of course...... Uh......"

He Wei fell into hesitation.

She sensed that the situation seemed to be somewhat contradictory at the moment.

According to common sense, since the probability of life and death is 50%, then, of course, the less lucky pigs die more.

But at this moment, under strict restrictions, there can only be one factor that can cause the death of piglets, that is, whether the poison gas is released. Whether the gas is released or not depends on the numbers generated by the quantum random number generator.

From this, it can be concluded that if the less fortunate pigs die more, then it naturally means that the quantum random number generator generates more zeros.

However, the laws of physics dictate that the probability should be 50%, and the number of 0s and 1s should be equal – at least not by much.

】

A 50% probability certainly does not mean that the quantum random number generator generates as many zeros as there are as many as ones. It is just a statistical concept, that is, in the face of a sufficient number of samples, the statistical results tend to be closer to 50%.

A small deviation does not mean that the probability is not 50%. But what if the deviation is large enough?

Of course, that means that the probability is not 50%.

However, if the probability is not 50%, it means that the randomness at the bottom of the universe has been affected and changed, which also means that the god of fate has the ability to change the laws at the bottom of the universe, and the high probability means that it is using this method to reduce the luck of the piglet.

But what if the mortality rate of piglets who participated in the sacrifice was similar to that of piglets who did not participate in the sacrifice, both of which were 50%?

This obviously means that no matter how bad the pig's luck is, it will not affect the underlying laws of the universe. The underlying laws of the universe are still stable, and their so-called bad luck is only based on the chaotic nature of the universe.

The chaotic nature of the universe, or the human world, is based on classical physics, that is, there are ways to influence and predict theoretically.

Between the two, there is a very different difference.

Hearing Lu Ming's explanation, He Wei seemed to understand. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is it important to determine whether the way the god of fate affects piggy's luck is based on chaos or randomness?" ”

"It's important."

Lu Ming nodded and replied without hesitation: "This is the basis for us to understand the origin of this incident and formulate a follow-up plan." ”

"Okay."

He Wei could only nod.

Time ticked by. According to the volume of the black box, the lethality of carbon dioxide to the piglets, etc., it will take about a few minutes, and the damn piglets should have died. And the piglets, who are still alive, will not die again in a short time.

Lu Ming looked at the time, then got up directly and walked out the door. He Wei immediately followed behind Lu Ming.

When he came to the test site, looking at the rows and rows of black boxes, Lu Ming walked straight to the black box numbered 1.

The label on the black box indicates that the piglet in the black box is one of the piglets that did not participate in the sacrifice.

Lu Ming took a deep breath and pressed the button on the black box. After a slight click, a gap appeared between the black door and the box. Lu Ming grabbed the handle and pulled the door open.

Suddenly, Lu Ming seemed to see a living pig and a dead pig overlapping in front of him. The moment he opened the door of the box, the figures of the live pig and the dead pig overlapped instantly.

The pig, dead and alive, became a dead pig.

Lu Ming shook his head lightly, throwing this momentary illusion out of his mind.

A staff member next to him immediately came over and took out the newborn piglet. The veterinarian who followed followed came forward to perform a brief examination, and reported that "Subject 01 is deceased. Type 01, the cause of death is carbon dioxide poisoning. ”

Type 01, which means that the pig has not been sacrificed.

The recorder who followed quickly recorded the data and sent it to the statistical software.

Lu Ming came to the No. 2 black box again, and also went through the above process and opened the door.

"Subject 02 is deceased. Type 01, the cause of death is carbon dioxide poisoning. ”

It also died.

After that, there is the number three black box.

"Subject 03 is deceased, Type 02, cause of death is carbon dioxide poisoning."

Type 02 means that this little pig participated in the sacrifice and sacrificed "fate" to the god of fate.

"Number 04 Subject Survival, Type 02."

"Subject 05 Survival, Type 01."

……

After a busy time, all 960 black boxes were opened. The survival and death of a total of 960 piglets in it have also been counted.

Next, there is a comparison between the two types, that is, the pigs who have participated in the sacrifice and are theoretically unlucky, and the pigs who have not participated in the sacrifice and are theoretically lucky.

Through this comparison, whether the abnormal luck given to the pig by the god of fate can affect the randomness at the bottom of the universe, we can draw a clear conclusion.

"Of the 530 Type 01 piglets, 259 died and 271 survived. The mortality rate was 48.87%:51.13%. ”

There is no doubt that there is a degree of deviation between these two results and the 50% probability. But that doesn't mean something went wrong along the way. The simple reason is that the sample size in this trial is too small. The smaller the sample size, the greater the error.

If only one piglet is involved in the trial, and the piglet dies, is the mortality rate 100%? If it's alive, is the survival rate 100%?

This is obviously not possible. Probabilities can't be counted like this.

Overall, although there is a deviation, the deviation is small and within the normal range. This basically proves that the luck of the piglets who did not participate in the sacrifice is at a normal level.

Looking at this line of numbers, He Wei felt a very peculiar feeling in her heart.

She has always thought that the so-called underlying laws of the universe, the so-called quantum mechanics and the like, are very lofty things that are very far away from herself. This kind of thing cannot be related to oneself in life or work.

But now, the impact of the underlying laws of the universe on the macrocosm is truly reflected in front of her.

This report was followed by a second one, experimental data on the piglets that had participated in the sacrifice.

"Of the 430 Type 02 piglets, 169 died and 261 survived. The mortality rate was 39.30%:60.70%. ”

Suddenly, Lu Ming thought that he had seen it wrong. He closed his eyes and opened them, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and looked again, but he still saw that the data was exactly the same as before.

After the sacrifice, according to common sense, the mortality rate of this batch of piglets, which should be less lucky, is only 39.3%, and the survival rate is as high as 60.7%.

This is clearly out of the realm of statistical error! It's not that the sample size is too small! With a probability of 50%, no matter how much it deviates, it can't be so big, right?

How is this possible? How could this be?! How is it possible that the survival rate of the unlucky piglets is higher, and the survival rate of the piglets with normal luck is low?

Before the experiment was carried out, Lu Ming had already prepared for the results of the experiment to prove that the God of Fate had the ability to affect the randomness at the bottom of the universe.

Regardless of whether the way the god of fate affects luck is based on chaos or randomness, Lu Ming can accept it in his heart.

Anyway, this thing is already so weird, no stranger, isn't it?

But what he couldn't imagine anyway was that the god of fate could really affect the randomness at the bottom of the universe, but this randomness led to the luck of the unlucky piglets?

How can this be explained? How do you tell me how to explain it?

When she first saw these data, He Wei was also shocked for a moment. But after a moment, she said in a rather firm tone: "It's the statisticians who have reversed the numbers, right?" ”

Maybe...... The mortality rate is 60.7% and the survival rate is 39.3%?

Lu Ming was stunned, and then relieved.

It could only be that way. Only then is it reasonable.

Yes, it must be that the two data are reversed, and the statistician must have made a low-level mistake...... Otherwise, the result is a bit too inexplicable.

Lu Ming was rarely a little angry.

"Where did Qingliang transfer people from this time? It's too, too unprofessional! You, call me the person in charge of statistics! ”

The person who was stopped by Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lu Ming, who was full of anger, with a little fear, agreed, and trotted all the way away.

Moments later, a young man with glasses and a slightly dull black shirt hurried over.

"Sergeant Lu, are you looking for me?"

Lu Ming directly unfolded the report showing the experimental data of the Type 02 piglet in front of him: "How did you do it?" Can the data be reversed? Check it out for me now! ”

The young man's eyes widened, he looked at the data on the document, and scratched his head with some confusion: "Sergeant Lu, this data ...... That's right, I've checked it, and I've checked it several times. ”

"That's right? How can it be?! You take me there. ”

Lu Ming and He Wei came to the data statistics room, personally began to source the source of these data, and traced them to the batch of piglets that were temporarily placed.

When looking at a pig with an obvious 01 or 02 mark written on its head, and counting the number himself, Lu Ming found that this data ...... There's really nothing wrong with that.

At this moment, He Wei also hesitated.

"Could it be...... Confused Type 01 and Type 02? ”

The person in charge of the test who accompanied him called out to Qu: "Sergeant He, you can't wronged me." From the birth of these piglets to the marking, to the release of the cage, to the laboratory over there, to the transport out to the black box, everything is recorded in a video record, you can see it for yourself. ”

The "laboratory over there" in the mouth of the person in charge of the experiment refers to the sanctuary where the sarcophagus is located.

Due to secrecy, they didn't know what was there, and what experiments the piglets had been transported there for.

There were special informants who were in charge of the sacrifices.

"Make a copy of the surveillance video."

Lu Ming gave the order, and a notebook was taken. turned on the monitoring, and Lu Ming and He Wei looked at it carefully and carefully.

It took several hours for Lu Ming to carefully check every step of the experiment for this batch of piglets, and found that the staff did not confuse these two different piglets.

There is no mistake on the part of the staff, there is no error in the statistics, then ...... The data on this final experiment report can only be correct.
