Chapter 539: Everything is changing, but the speed of light remains the same!

At noon, the Wizarding Council, who received the report of [Delayed Selection, Photoelectric Double-slit Interference Experiment], couldn't help frowning, and then shook his head with a smile.

"I don't think Geoffrey is joking, they actually said in the experiment report that photons and electrons can predict the future, predict in advance whether they will make observations or not, and make a choice when passing through the double slit to decide whether to ...... through a single or multiple slits in the form of particles or probability waves."

It's a little too funny.

It is just as outrageous as Lynn's assumption of the invariance of the speed of light in his theory of relativity.

"I don't think he meant to be joking...... Vittorio explained in a deep voice, his expression very solemn. According to the information I received, nine of the fifteen great wizards who participated in this experiment went crazy on the spot! ”

The smile on Harrov's face immediately froze, and his eyes were fixed on Vittorio for a moment to make sure that the other party did not mean to tease him.

Even Aurora and Anthony, who were looking through the theory of relativity, were stunned, although there are not a few wizards who have gone crazy because of the study of microscopic phenomena recently, but nine at a time is too exaggerated.

"Have you replicated their delayed selection experiments? Could it be true that photons and electrons can predict in advance whether an observation will occur, or even reverse cause and effect? Harrov said in disbelief, it was too amazing to be true.

"There is no replica, but when I was treating those great wizards, I probed their memories, if this memory has not been modified in advance, then what the report says should be true, and the microscopic particles do have some ability to predict in advance." Vittorio's frown never let go.

Because from those memories he had seen dozens of improved versions of double-slit interference experiments, Jeffrey and the others had done almost all the methods they could think of for verification, and the results were surprisingly consistent.

Arad even came up with a very ingenious way to record the entire process of the experiment and decide whether to observe it or not after it was completed, but the electrons and photons used for the test were still able to react in advance, and the probability wave collapsed, which can only be described as terrifying.

Vittorio shook his head, and then reported the good news. "I've amnesticized the nine of them, and I'm now undergoing psychiatric treatment, so I shouldn't be in danger of my life, but I've lost the ability to use light and lightning magic."

"That's good!" Aurora breathed a sigh of relief, the entire council was now only a hundred or so great wizards, and the loss of nine people at a time was definitely unacceptable.

Harrov was still thinking about the prophetic nature of photons and electrons, and was about to continue discussing this topic with Vittorio when he received a report from the squire, and now the great wizards who were still in the royal capital gathered in front of Speaker Lynn's mansion and quarreled.

"We'd better go check it out!" Vittorio suggested that if anyone could answer this question, it would be Lynn, who proposed the theory of relativity.

……

At the same time, a large group of wizards are arguing with each other in front of a lavish manor, discussing the four formulas and two basic definitions of the theory of relativity, as well as questioning the delayed choice experiment.

"As I have already said, according to the fact that experimental photons and electrons can accurately predict the future, it can perceive, and I even doubt ......" Jeffrey said with a look of horror on his face and a little trembling. They are able to read our thoughts and memories! ”

Arad on the side also said with a crazy face. "Yes, photons and electrons exist everywhere, and they must communicate with each other, which explains why they know exactly what we are doing every time."

The wizards present had strange faces, how could this be more and more outrageous, isn't that a quantum ghost?

"You don't want to say that there really is a quantum ghost, do you? And are all microscopic elements ghosts? The great wizard named Steg looked at Jeff and the others, and said with a sneer. I remember that Speaker Lynn had already explained this question, and the microscopic particles were not conscious at all......"

"I don't want to believe this more than anyone else, but we've thought of more than 130 methods, and we've tried all the experiments that we can do within our ability, and that's the truth!" Arad yelled angrily. "The elemental ghost is a bitch who can not only read our memories, but also predict the future!"

Sanchez also spoke out in detail, detailing the progress and results of each experiment they had ever done.

Originally, the great wizards who were just watching jokes and felt that this conclusion was extremely ridiculous gradually changed their expressions from ridicule to solemnity and then to contemplation, and finally many people had the idea of conducting an experiment immediately.

If Sanchez and the others weren't lying, it would be amazing!

"Maybe there really is a quantum ghost, although Speaker Lynn is a magic star, no one is absolutely right, you don't forget, Speaker Lynn's previous star-like elemental model has been proven wrong, even if it sounds very reasonable!" Sanchez said with a sigh.

Steger, who had laughed at Jeffrey before, was silent for a moment, and then nodded as well.

"That's right, the development of magic and the perfection of theories cannot be achieved overnight, and it must not be fully affirmed because of the authority of the proposer, just like the assumption that the speed of light does not change mentioned by Speaker Lynn in the theory of relativity, I think it is not logical at all, and I can even think of more than a thousand ways to refute it!"

The wizards present also nodded, they had gathered here today to ask the magic star about it.

However, just as Steger's words fell, another voice rang out from the manor.

"Oh, is it? Don't know what methods are? I'd love to hear about it! ”

Steg's confident face changed instantly, and he immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the manor.

The person who came was naturally Lynn, and beside him was a giant beast more than three meters tall, and it was Muto standing in front of the gate just now that blocked everyone out.

The great wizards present were all here to refute the theory of relativity, but when they actually saw Lynn, they were a little reluctant and began to wonder if there was something wrong with their theory.

In the past, there were not a few people who thought that they had found a theoretical error and could refute this magic star and make a name for themselves.

After all, everyone knows that Speaker Lynn has no scruples about discussing magic, and has even bluntly stated on many occasions that anyone is welcome to prove his theory wrong with rigorous theories and ingenious experimental results!

It's just that no one has succeeded so far, but countless people have been slapped in the face.

Even the only star-like elemental orbital model that turned out to be wrong was Lynn's own discovery of a more appropriate quantum probability cloud theory – in fact, there are still many wizards who firmly believe that the star-like elemental orbital model is the truth, because it is so perfect.

Although there are a lot of considerations in his heart, but after all, he has come here, and it is not good to go back, so Steg said stubbornly. "Speaker Lynn, I have a lot of doubts about your latest book on the theory of relativity published today, and I would like you to answer them!"

"Since it's an academic discussion, let's come in and talk about it!" Lynn didn't mean to embarrass Steg, and he had expected this to cause an uproar in the academic world before he published his theory of relativity.

After all, the phenomena in the micro field are indeed somewhat incomprehensible from a macro point of view.

Steg breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the manor with Jeffrey, Sanchez and others.

Lynn led the group to the optical lab, and Steg looked around the room, where there were many magic instruments that could not be named, and they looked very exquisite.

"If you have any questions, let's talk about them here, it's better to ask them one by one, it's better to start with the principle of relativity!" Lynn said directly.

The wizards present glanced at each other, and then it was Steg who spoke first. "I see you say in your paper that all inertial frames of reference are equal, and no one is more special than the other. So now I'm running towards you, and it can also be explained that you're running towards me, right? ”

The frame of reference of the principle of relativity, equality, was the first question that puzzled him.

"No, before I understand this concept, I need to explain what an inertial frame of reference is!" Lynn shook her head and said. It means a state in which an object remains relatively stationary or moves at equal velocity along a particular route. Without being altered by an external force, it will continue to move at its existing speed. “

"For example, those of you who are standing still now can be used as an inertial frame of reference within this planet." With that, Lynn pulled out a silver coin and threw it out quickly. "If you use me as a frame of reference, you can say that this silver coin is moving forward at a speed of fifty meters per second!"

"Does that make any sense? Regardless of whether it is viewed from the perspective of an inertial frame of reference, its velocity and direction are not all the same? A great wizard said in surprise.

"No, if there is no reference frame, then we can say that the speed of this silver coin is thirty kilometers per second!" Lynn shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile.

Steg and the others were stunned for a moment, then looked at the silver coin nailed to the wall, and frowned and thought.

A great wizard who had studied astronomy was quick to react. "This is the speed at which the Eternal Star orbits the Sun!"

Because they are in the interior of the Eternal Star, if they use the Sun as a frame of reference, they are moving around the Sun at a speed of 30 kilometers per second.

"But, that doesn't seem right, does it?" Steg said with a deep groan. "That's the Eternal Star in motion, and the speed of this silver coin is still fifty meters per second."

Lynn asked rhetorically. "Let's say you're sitting on a high-speed train and you're not moving, but people outside the station still look away from them at high speed."

Steg choked up and couldn't talk for a long time.

Lynn continued to explain. "It doesn't make sense to distinguish between up and down, left and right, east and west, north and south, without an inertial frame of reference, for example, inside the Eternal Star, the north is up for those in the northern hemisphere, and the south is above for those in the southern hemisphere!"

"The reason why we can clearly distinguish the direction now is because the gravitational force is pulling us to the ground, and with the center of the earth as below, the other directions will naturally be distinguished!"

In the middle of three sentences, Lynn made it clear the necessity of the existence of the inertial frame of reference and why the frame of reference is equal, and the people present were all great wizards, so it was naturally not difficult to understand.

But then comes the second problem.

"Speaker Lynn, I already understand what you mean, but with all due respect, your theory of the invariance of the speed of light seems to be somewhat in conflict with the concept of affirmative action in the frame of reference." Steg spoke again.

"Suppose we unleash laser magic inside the Eternal Star, shouldn't the speed of light appear to the star to be the speed of revolution plus the speed of light?"

The example given by Steg and the silver coin that Lynn threw out are the same truth, and it is Lynn's own words as a rebuttal.

Lynn naturally couldn't be refuted by this little question, and smiled calmly. "In your opinion, how are waves transmitted? What are the factors that affect its speed? ”

Seeing that Lynn suddenly changed the subject, Steg couldn't help frowning, but still replied. "The transmission of a wave naturally depends on the medium, and the speed at which it propagates ......"

"The propagation speed of mechanical waves depends only on the medium and is not affected by other factors!" Lynn explained. "Sound is, for example, a mechanical wave!"

"It travels at a speed of 340 meters per second at normal temperature and atmospheric pressure, and it doesn't get faster just because you run and shout! An example of this is that when using thunder magic, the sound does not arrive until even after lightning, as it travels much slower than lightning and is not affected by external forces. ”

"Therefore, no matter what state you are in, as long as the medium does not change, the mechanical wave obtained by measuring the mechanical wave with an instrument in any direction and angle in the inertial reference frame must be a definite and unchanging value!"

Jeff's eyes lit up and he said excitedly. "Light is also a kind of wave, a special electromagnetic wave, which also has the characteristics of a certain wave, so measuring its speed is actually measuring its propagation rate in a certain medium!"

Lynn smiled and nodded, understanding this, the mystery of the constant speed of light was already half understood, although the remaining half was the most difficult to understand!
