Jinling, Institute of Space Research, in the laboratory!

Ye Fei sat on a round stool, surrounded by many researchers.

On the first day after returning from Kyoto, Ye Fei gathered the researchers of the institute to discuss academics.

Ye Fei has a habit of discussing academics with others, and the atmosphere must be very relaxed.

Only in a relaxed environment can everyone relax, the brain's thinking can be more open, the thinking can be more active, and the inspiration can be more.

Ye Fei said with a smile: "This time I held an event in Kyoto, many of you should have seen it!" ”

Everyone smiled, and they would naturally watch such an important live broadcast.

Not only them, but many people in the entire academic community have watched it.

Ye Fei said: "Come, who of you tell me what you think after reading it?" ”

Next, some of the researchers presented their thoughts.

Of course, the standard of the activities held by Ye Fei was too high, and all the participants were the world's top scholars, and most of the researchers present could not understand what they said.

Therefore, their ideas are also relatively shallow.

After a long time, Ye Fei said: "Everyone said it very well, let me talk about my gains at this meeting." ”

"I won't talk about some gains in mathematics, I'll talk about physics."

"We've been working on Schrödinger's cats for a long time, and Schrödinger's cat experiments started out as a matter of the principle of quantum superposition at the microscopic scale."

"Later, with the study of the problem, we cleverly linked the existence form of the microscopic matter as a particle or a wave after observation with the macroscopic cat, so as to verify the existence form of the quantum when the observation intervened."

"Some time ago, our research added consciousness to Schrödinger's cat, or consciousness to quantum superposition."

As mentioned earlier, Ye Fei added consciousness to quantum entanglement, so as to develop information that can be transmitted instantaneously.

Quantum entanglement is known as an entangled state, and quantum superposition is known as a superposition state.

An entangled state is a superposition state of a multi-particle system or a multi-degree-of-freedom system that cannot be expressed as a direct product form.

Therefore, the entangled state is the superposition state.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Schrödinger's cat is studying superposition.

"This gave Schrödinger's cat an extra direction to study the macrocosm."

"After discussing with many physicists during this time, I found that Schrödinger's cat should also be studied in the direction of parallel universes."

"As we all know, the concept of parallel universes was not proposed because of the paradox of time travel, it came from quantum mechanics."

"Because there is an uncertainty in quantum mechanics, which is quantum uncertainty."

"Suppose Schrödinger's cat is supposed to live in two worlds, and these two worlds are parallel universes."

"Living cats are in one universe, dead cats are in another."

"So it turns out that the problem with Schrödinger's cat is not whether the emitting atom in the box decays, but that it both decays and does not."

"When the observer looks into the box, the wave function itself collapses, and the whole world splits into two versions of itself."

"The two versions are exactly the same in every other respect, the only difference is that in one of them, the atom decays and the cat dies."

"And in another version, the atom does not decay, and the cat is alive."

When everyone heard Ye Fei's explanation, they all looked at Ye Fei with wide eyes in surprise.

The hypothesis put forward by Ye Fei is both bold and crazy.

Because the hypothesis put forward by Ye Fei is to admit the existence of parallel universes.

Moreover, the two parallel universes are the same.

All along, parallel worlds were just a hypothesis, and no one knew if they existed.

But Ye Fei acknowledges the existence of parallel universes in his hypothesis of Schrödinger's cat.

It's a crazy idea.

If we admit the existence of parallel universes, then it is possible that there is another self in the space-time in which we exist.

If one day someone from another parallel universe comes to their own universe.

Their first thought is not to merge into their own universe, but to destroy their own universe.

This would break out into a war between the two universes.

This is like the law of the dark forest in the three-body problem.

All civilizations in the universe are in the dark forest, and once discovered by other civilizations, they will inevitably be attacked by other civilizations.

The same is true of parallel universes, each parallel universe is a civilization, and once discovered by other civilizations, it will inevitably be attacked by other civilizations.

The more Ye Fei said, the more ideas he had, and many other topics were derived from this topic.

By a third of the time, everyone couldn't keep up with him.

But these people don't care either, this situation, they have encountered it many times, every time they write down what Ye Fei said, and study it slowly after they go back.

If the research is not thorough, when I do research with Ye Fei in the future, I will slowly study it thoroughly.

After the academic discussion, Ye Fei wrote the idea of parallel universes into a paper and hung it on arxiv.

Moreover, it proposes the theory as a multiverse interpretation.

North Beauty, Massachusetts Institute of Technology!

Ernie Thorne is the dean of the School of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Nobel Laureate in Physics who specializes in gravitation and quantum particle science in quantum mechanics.

Thorne went into the office early in the morning and sat down, then turned on his computer to browse Arxiv.

Suddenly, a paper caught his attention.

It was not the name of the paper that attracted him, but the author who wrote the paper that attracted his attention.

"Huh?" Thorne was surprised: "Ye Feike rarely publishes physics papers!" ”

Then, with interest, he said, "I'd like to see what papers he will publish." ”

With that, Thorne clicked on the paper.

Soon, his eyes widened in surprise, and his eyes were filled with deep shock.

After a moment, Thorne muttered to himself, "It's crazy that Ye Fei actually put forward such an assumption." ”

"Although this assumption keeps the Schrödinger wave equation true, the wave function never collapses, simplifying the basic theory."

"But this idea is too bizarre to admit the existence of parallel universes."

"If this assumption is true, then it is impossible to admit the existence of parallel universes."

For people like Ye Fei, words can't be said nonsense.

Saying the wrong thing can have an impact on the world, especially in research.

It's like one day Albert Einstein said that there are aliens many light-years away.

In a few decades, these aliens will be coming.

Then, people all over the world will be in a sense of crisis.

This is because the person who said this is of high status, authority, and cannot be untargeted, and many people around the world believe what he says.

If Ye Fei's views are recognized by people all over the world, then they also recognize the existence of parallel universes.

Professionals will know the truth, but ordinary people don't.

If you let ordinary people know that there is a world like the earth above or under your feet, or beside you, where you are.

There is a touch of you in that world.

At this time, ordinary people will wonder if their selves in the other world will suddenly appear next to them and kill themselves.

As a result, many people live in fear all day long.

It's as if someone knows that there is always another self around them who wants to kill them.

Thorne's eyes flickered wildly: "If Ye Fei's hypothesis is true, then it is also a distinction between a thought experiment proposed by Hans Moravec and Bruno Machar on quantum mechanics in 1980. ”

In 1980, Hans Moravec and Bruno Machar proposed the idea experiment of quantum mechanics, which is the most famous interpretation of quantum mechanics, the Copenhagen interpretation.

Thorne continued to look into the paper: "Hmm...... Ye Fei explained the fundamental Hagen interpretation. ”

"He called the root Hagen interpretation quantum suicide and the many-world interpretation quantum immortality."

Thorne nodded slightly: "That's a very apt title." ”

"Quantum suicide, quantum immortality!"

"Quantum suicide is the fundamental Hagen interpretation, which says that a cat has a 50% chance of surviving or not."

"Quantum immortality is a multiverse interpretation of experiments in which a cat exists in two unrelated worlds, one alive and the other dead."

"Well, if the multi-world interpretation is correct, after any experiment, there will always be a cat in a certain world that will never die."

The more Thorne thought about Ye Fei's interpretation, the crazier it became.

As a researcher of quantum mechanics, it is difficult for him to accept Ye Fei's idea.

Of course, what Ye Fei put forward was just a hypothesis.

The assumption is that the representation is not necessarily true.

This is the same as quantum suicide, with a 50% chance of being true or not.

After a long time, Thorne sighed: "It's crazy, the hypothesis proposed by Ye Fei should be difficult for scientists all over the world to accept!" ”

"After all, parallel universes only exist in theory."

"Moreover, most scientists do not admit the existence of parallel universes, or are unwilling to admit the existence of parallel universes."

Mizuki University, Yang Zhenning's office!

Yang Zhenning looked at Ye Fei's paper hanging on arxiv on the computer.

Yang Zhenning thought secretly: "Multi-universe interpretation? ”

"He is assuming the existence of parallel universes, so that he can explain the quantum interpretation of the various phenomena in the microscopic world."

Quantum theory, also known as quantum theory, is one of the two cornerstones of modern physics, the other being the theory of relativity.

"While this simplifies the basic theory and eliminates the need to consider wave function collapse, there is a major drawback, which is the recognition of the existence of parallel universes."

"In doing so, the multiverse interpretation is untenable unless it is proven that parallel universes exist."

"But if it turns out that parallel universes exist, then the whole world will panic."

"However, from another point of view, the hypothesis proposed by Ye Fei can better study quantum theory."

"It's more convenient than the Copenhagen interpretation, which can lead the way!"

Seeing this, Yang Zhenning shook his head slightly, and said, "Young people still have ideas!" ”

"The older I get, the more I worry, and I don't dare to come up with such a crazy idea."

"And young people can think whatever they want, even if they imagine the earth exploding, they dare to think about it."

"His assumption is very good, but I don't know if the world can accept it."

"Since Ye Fei mentioned the parallel universe, he will definitely study it in the future, so I will send him the literature of the parallel universe!"

"Hopefully, these parallel universe documents will be helpful to him."

After speaking, Yang Zhenning found the parallel universe literature and sent it to Ye Fei's mailbox.

Jinling, Institute of Space Research!

"Huh?" Ye Fei saw that someone in the mailbox sent him an email, and after seeing the email, he said in shock: "It was Mr. Yang who sent me an email, why did he send me an email?" Call me directly if you have something! ”

Saying that, Ye Fei opened the email and said with some surprise: "It's a parallel universe document." ”

"He must have seen my paper hanging on Arxiv, so he sent me the parallel universe literature."

"He must have thought I was going to study parallel universes."

"But I don't have the idea of a parallel universe yet."

"Parallel universes are too difficult, and they are not suitable for me to study right now."

Ye Fei thought that after Schrödinger's cat was studied, he would consider studying other fields of quantum mechanics.

For the time being, he only studied Schrödinger's cat.

The road should be taken step by step, and the meal should be eaten one bite at a time.

You can't study Schrödinger's cat today, Schrödinger's cat hasn't been studied yet, and tomorrow I'm going to study the parallel universe.

This is not feasible.

"Although I won't study it for the time being, I can still take a look."

"Mr. Yang, as the first person in the physics field today, should study very deeply in any field of his research!"

As he spoke, Ye Fei opened the literature and looked at it.

At this moment, many scholars around the world have seen Ye Fei's paper hanging on arxiv, which has caused heated discussions around the world.

Andrea Hope, a senior researcher at the School of Physics at the Beili Academy of Sciences and winner of the Wolf Prize in Physics, was the first to stand up and refute it.

"If Ye Fei's point of view is correct, it is to admit that parallel universes exist."

"The existence of parallel universes does not mean that there are four-dimensional universes?"

"So, what are we?"

"What is our world?"

"Could it be that our world, and us, is a ranch kept in captivity by aliens?"

"And we're alien-raised chickens ready to be slaughtered?"

"Parallel universes can't exist."

"The world we live in is the only world."

"Therefore, Ye Fei's multi-world interpretation is not valid."

Andrea's views are recognized by many scientists.

They can't accept the existence of parallel universes, and the existence of parallel universes will make many people panic.

Israeli physicist and Wolf Prize winner in physics Siphievo Hauss said: "I don't think Ye Fei's view of a many-world interpretation should be interpreted in this way. ”

"He's just trying to better prove Schrödinger's cat, not that he has to admit the existence of parallel universes."

"After all, Ye Fei's multi-universe interpretation can prove Schrödinger's cat more simply than the Copenhagen interpretation."

"And, you don't."

"In the past, we studied quantum mechanics macroscopic and microscopic."

"We can't clearly draw the line between the micro and the macro."

"It wasn't until not long ago that Ye Fei's consciousness allowed us to find a way to distinguish the dividing line between the macro and the micro."

"But this is a misguided path, entangled with self-consciousness, which has long since been far removed from the original intent of Bohr and the Copenhagen School."

"Also, if the evolution direction of Schrödinger's wave equation is strictly followed, a system will not evolve from a superposition state to a pure state, which means that collapse does not conform to the basic principles of quantum theory."

"But in the face of the results of the electron double-slit interference experiment, the collapse must be attached to it in order to give a reasonable explanation."

"Consciousness is added, although it can explain the electron double-slit interference experiment."

"But it is contrary to the original intention of the evolution and principle of the Schrödinger wave equation Bohr and the Copenhagen School."

"But if Ye Fei's multi-universe interpretation can kick consciousness away with one kick, and it can also bypass the collapse, it can better explain the problem of quantum theory."

Many people's eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this speech.

Yes, Ye Fei's interpretation of the multiuniverse not only kicks away consciousness, but also bypasses collapse, which can better explain the problem of quantum theory.

But soon many people were crying and laughing.

The consciousness was proposed by Ye Fei, and not long after it was proposed, his ass was kicked away by Ye Fei's multi-universe interpretation before he was hot.

In the words of Xia Guoren, success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He!

It was Ye Fei who proposed consciousness, and it was Ye Fei who destroyed consciousness.

After the debate between these two physics bigwigs, many people began to face up to the multiverse interpretation.

They found that the multiverse interpretation was much more advantageous than the Copenhagen interpretation.

Soon, someone exclaimed in his heart: "This Ye Fei is too strong, and I don't know how long his brain is, how long has he just entered the physics world!" ”

"First of all, consciousness was proposed, the macroscopic and the microscopic were distinguished, and the instantaneous transmission of information was developed by quantum entanglement."

"Now a multiverse interpretation is being proposed!"

"Although the idea is bold, it kicks out consciousness and bypasses collapse, making quantum theory more convenient and concise to study."

"This Ye Fei is really too godly."
