Chapter 254: Witches and Probability

"Failed ......"

A minute later, looking at the colorful tetrahedron in her hand, Wanda silently lowered her head, depressed.

Not far away, staring at the data in the light screen, the corners of Cyber's mouth couldn't help but curl.

Wanda's ability is really as he expected, with the ability to change the probability of events!

Entering the cage and rubbing the little witch's long hair, Cyber had a smile on his face and praised, "Congratulations, you're a ...... Well done. ”

"Didn't I fail?"

With wide eyes and some puzzled looking at the man in front of her, Wanda wondered.

"No, you've made it."

Taking the tetrahedron from the other party's hand, Saibo patiently explained: "Although it has not completely turned red, nearly four-fifths of the four faces of the tetrahedral device have been filled with red, and the remaining one-fifth has been divided equally by the remaining six colors.

However, because these nanoprobes of the same color are not connected together, they are scattered everywhere irregularly, resulting in a colorful appearance to the naked eye. ”

Wanda is still a little unconfident: "Really? ”

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can go to the statistical software over there."

Pointing to the location he was just now, Cyber couldn't suppress the excitement on his face: "According to the laws of statistics, when the sample size is large enough, these seven colors should divide the seven million probes evenly, and the number of probes of each color is about one million."

But the reality is that the number of red probes is close to six million, and the number of other probes of each color is only about 200,000. ”

"What does this mean?"

Wanda still couldn't understand why the man in front of her was so excited.

Holding the little witch's shoulders and meeting the other party's gaze, Cyber was very solemn: "This means that you can change the probability of one thing happening." ”

In his previous life, when he watched the "Infinity Legend" series, he was very interested in this little witch who could tear Thanos apart, and deliberately went to a certain encyclopedia to check her ability.

I found that the other party's scarlet energy was actually a thing called 'chaos magic', and as a mutant, I had the ability to modify the probability.

However, in order to hide his identity as a traverser, he couldn't reveal that he knew this, so he could only deliberately guide and slowly reveal the little witch's ability according to the process of making up the answers.

In addition, a certain degree of encyclopedia, everyone can edit it, and Marvel's screenwriters often eat books, and 90% of the information on it may be true, but the key 10% often kills people.

Adhering to the attitude of seeking truth from facts, rigorous and serious scientific spirit.

Until experiments confirm that the other party's abilities are these two, Cyber does not dare to jump to conclusions.

After all, this is not the 616 universe in the comics, but a hybrid world with the MCU as the main body, and he is not sure if the little witch still has these two abilities.

Fortunately, everything went as he wanted.

In this way, his plan can be carried out smoothly.

"Modify probability?"

Repeating his ability, a little unable to stand the other party's gaze as if looking at a rare treasure, Wanda lowered her head and said, "This is important to you?" Or is this ability very powerful? ”

Instead of answering this question directly, Cyber asks a seemingly unrelated question: "Do you know what the nature of our universe is?" ”

"I don't know."

Faced with such a mysterious question, Wanda shook her head decisively.

"It's discontinuous, quantum."

"Watts? Quantum? ”

She often hears the term in popular science shows and science fiction movies, but she doesn't know what it means by 'quantum'.

Knowing that the other party would not understand such an explanation, Cyber took the little witch out of the cage and came to the control center not far away, pointing to the surrounding items and explaining: "The world we humans live in is called the 'macrocosm world' by scientists, and this water cup looks like a whole on the surface, but in fact it is composed of countless tiny particles. ”

"Well, atoms and molecules, I know."

Nodding, Wanda agreed.

"That's right, but the atom can continue to be 'divided', and it is composed of smaller electrons, various quarks, etc., which are the most basic particles in this universe."

Calling up the icon of the basic particles, Cyber's expression gradually became serious: "At this microscopic scale, the laws of motion of these elementary particles are very different from the laws of motion of our macroscopic world, and the quantum effect is very obvious.

And the reason our world looks the way it is because everything we observe is the result of the statistical averaging of these elementary particles. ”

"What does this have to do with probability?"

Wanda was puzzled.

Thunderbolt said a lot, which made her more and more confused.

Having Alita project a 3D image of a hydrogen atom, Cyber points to the dotted clouds around the core and explains: "The hydrogen atom is made up of an electron and a nucleus, and the circle around it is its 'electron cloud' image.

This 'electron cloud' does not refer to a cloud of electrons, but rather a probabilistic image.

Before you observe this electron by any means, it can be anywhere in the universe, and the denser the point of light, the more likely it is to appear in that position after you observe it.

To put it technically, the more likely it is that after you make an observation of it, the more likely it is that its wave function will collapse from a superposition state 'randomly' to a specific eigenstate. ”

"The wave function is ......"

"You don't care what the wave function is, or what the superposition or eigenstates are, I'll teach you that later."

Without giving the little witch a chance to ask, Saibo continued, "In short, it is impossible to predict where the electron will appear in the next second until you have observed it, because it may appear anywhere, irregularly.

But you can calculate the probability of it appearing in each position, and the probability of appearing in each position is large or small, not necessarily the same, depending on external factors.

Of course, the reality is much more complicated. ”

"But ......"

Speaking of this, Cyber deliberately accentuated his tone: "Your ability can modify the probability.

This means that you can make particles appear wherever you want the next second, because you can increase the probability of appearing at that location to 99.99......%. ”

"I still don't quite understand what this is for."

Rubbing her head, which was a little swollen, Wanda felt her doubts growing more and more.

"As I said earlier, most of the things in the macrocosm are made up of elementary particles, and everything that is observed is the result of the statistical averaging of these elementary particles."

Emphasizing the facts he had just explained, Cyber said bitterly: "Although it is not very useful to change the probability of a particle appearing in various positions, what if it is a million? What about tens of billions? What about the exailments? ……

If you can successfully change the probability that all the elementary particles that make up this computer will appear in various locations in the next second, you can instantly send it outside the solar system, or even outside the galaxy. ”
