Chapter 20 Schr?dinger's Box

Even God can't kill me. If others say this, it will only attract ridicule. But when Hua Siyuan said it, both Wu Jie and Yin Shuang took it for granted.

Who is he? He is Hua Siyuan, the founder of the Four Gods of Fighting. He is recognized as the strongest god in all the worlds. He is the great god who defeated more than ten god-lords alone. He is the one who dares to say "Invincibility is the most lonely."

He is a powerful man whose arrogance is unquestioned by no one in the world.

If there is anyone in this world who is qualified to say such things, it must be him!

There was a bit of silence in the small room for a while. Wu Jie and Yin Shuang were both taken by Hua Siyuan's aura and didn't know what to say.

After a while, Yin Shuang asked with a smile: "So, Lao Hua, what do you mean when you say that you have become the cat in Schrödinger's box?"

Hua Siyuan was stunned: "You don't know this allusion?"

"No impression."

"This is a famous story in the history of the development of quantum mechanics theory. Almost every teacher will tell this in college physics classes."

Yin Shuang was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "I was just a senior in high school when I traveled through time. I was studying high school physics to prepare for the college entrance examination. I had never been exposed to college physics or anything like that!"

Hua Siyuan was stunned. He had never thought that such a situation would happen. Then he hurriedly turned to look at Wu Jie.

Wu Jie knew what he meant and said with a smile: "I had already graduated from college when I traveled through time. I had been working in the society for several years. I think I started my own business."

"Then you must understand this allusion, right?"

Wu Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "I am a liberal arts student."

Hua Siyuan looked a little irritated: "What does liberal arts students mean?"

"That is to say... To be honest, I have never heard of Schrödinger, nor have I heard of the cat in Schrödinger's box... Wait a moment, I remembered... I seem to have seen some online somewhere, it seems like something

A cat that’s alive and dead at the same time?”

Hua Siyuan sighed: "You don't have to think about it anymore, I will explain it to you."

He seemed a little uninterested, but he still explained to Wu Jie and Yin Shuang the famous hypothesis in the theory of quantum mechanics: Schrödinger's cat in as concise and clear language as possible.

This hypothesis was devised by physicist Schrödinger to satirize the theory of "superposition states" in quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics believes that microscopic particles exist in a superposition state. As long as they are not observed, a microscopic particle may exist in several different states.

It is called a superposition state. Only when it is observed, this superposition state will be destroyed and one of them will be chosen to express itself.

Schrödinger objected to this idea, so he made a hypothesis - put a cat into an opaque box, and then connected the box to an experimental setup containing a radioactive nucleus and a container of toxic gas. Imagine

This radioactive nucleus has a 50% chance of decaying within an hour. If it decays, it will emit a particle

, and the emitted particle will trigger the experimental device, open the container containing the poisonous gas, and thereby kill the cat. According to quantum mechanics, when no observation is made, the nucleus is in a superposition of decayed and undecayed states, but

, if the box is opened after an hour, the experimenter can only see two situations: "decayed nuclei and dead cats" or "undecayed nuclei and living cats".

Through this hypothesis, Schrödinger linked the "decay-not-decayed superposition state" of microscopic uranium atoms with the "dead-alive superposition state" of cats, turning the microscopic uncertainty of quantum mechanics into macroscopic uncertainty.

Microscopic chaos turns into macroscopic absurdity - the cat is either dead or alive, it must be one of the two, it is impossible to be both dead and alive at the same time!

Wu Jie was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Although I don't understand quantum mechanics, I am certain that a cat cannot be in a superposition of living and inactive states. Although we can only know exactly what the cat is when the lid is opened.

Whether it is dead or alive, but that is a question of the atom and has nothing to do with the cat! Even if I haven't opened the lid yet, the cat is either dead or alive. How can it be neither dead nor alive, dead and alive at the same time?

"That's right, so Schrödinger made up this paradox in 1935, not to prove the establishment of quantum mechanics, but to magnify microscopic problems to the macroscopic level and prove the microscopic truth of quantum mechanics through the obvious absurdity on the macroscopic level.

'Superposition' theory

Absurd. Although we have later proven through experiments that in the microscopic state, basic particles do exist in a 'superposition state', and there is indeed a 'dead and alive' fight, but in terms of macro... Anyway, when I was on the earth, no one

Able to carry out macroscopic experiments,

As for being in this world... Anyway, I have never done any experiments. In fact, I have been very careful to avoid such crazy assumptions, just to leave a way out for myself at critical moments." Hua Siyuan said with a smile, "I just borrowed it.

This is just an allusion - now that you have understood this allusion, the next step is easy to explain. I have long designed a sealed container that can isolate the prying eyes of heaven. As long as my body suffers a fatal punishment from heaven, I will

Close the container and shut yourself in when it could be fatal."

Seeing the doubts on Wu Jie and Yin Shuang's faces, he smiled and said: "Tiandao's way of thinking is actually very simple, completely unified. When I turn myself into the cat in Schrödinger's box, it can choose to open the box, but when I open the box

The box means breaking the state of 'both dead and alive', so I may become alive."

Yin Shuang frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Even if you are still alive, wouldn't it be enough to have one more stab?"

"Tiandao doesn't have such complicated thinking. I have become a state of being both dead and alive. So as long as I don't open the box, I am not sure whether I will live or die, right?"

Wu Jie and Yin Shuang looked at me and I looked at you, they both felt a little dizzy.

The method proposed by Hua Siyuan was really beyond their understanding. In front of this great god, the two Yang Shen immortals deeply felt their own insignificance.

"Death and life exist at the same time. Heaven accepts two concepts at the same time. With its single-minded way of thinking, it will never choose to resurrect me - if the box is opened, my 'both dead and alive' status will be changed.

, maybe he is dead, but it is equally possible that he is alive. In other words, opening the box means that it may make me 'come alive', right?"

Wu Jie felt that there were a group of birds above his head, spinning in circles around his head, shouting "Fool! Fool!"

"Honestly, I don't understand what you are talking about." Yin Shuang replied frankly, "This method is too high-end and I can't understand it."

Hua Siyuan turned to look at Wu Jie.

Wu Jie shook his head hurriedly, shaking his head like a rattle.

Hua Siyuan let out a long sigh, looking very lonely.

"Why can't everyone understand what I'm saying? It's just a simple description of the superposition state! This is basic common sense!"

"Sorry, your level of basic common sense is too high... Lao Hua, you can't ask everyone to be an expert like you." Wu Jie sighed, "I want to ask, what were you doing before you traveled through time?"

"I am a graduate student at Tsinghua University and work in a nuclear reactor laboratory."

Wu Jie and Yin Shuang were both speechless.

The identities of these two groups of time-travelers before they time-traveled were completely different. Yin Shuang was an ordinary high school girl who could be seen everywhere, a little unconventional at best; Wu Jie was also a small businessman who could be seen everywhere, although in many people's mouth she was

"Mr. Wu", in fact, all his assets are only a fraction of those of the big bosses; but Hua Siyuan is really a high-end person, and a scientist who can work in a nuclear reactor laboratory is simply a person to look up to!

So they naturally gave up trying to understand Hua Siyuan's theory, and instead just asked some practical questions.

Hua Siyuan was quite dissatisfied with this. He muttered more than once, "You two are still my fellow villagers! You don't understand the problem as deeply as my younger brother..."

"Please don't ask us for Taishang Taozu's request!" Wu Jieyi emphasized sternly, "Taishang Taozu is recognized as the number one genius in all time. It's normal for him to be able to follow your thinking, but we can't.

"

"Old Hua, you'd better stop beating around the bush!" Yin Shuang finally couldn't help it anymore and sighed, "We finally returned from the Great Wilderness Realm to the Kyushu Realm. We suffered a lot along the way, but we didn't come here just to listen to your magic sound.

Damn it! The theory you mentioned, if I continue to listen to it, I feel like my inner demons are about to come out!"

Hua Siyuan sighed and reluctantly gave up on popular science.

"I want you to come here mainly for a test - if you remember this, it means that my body has not activated the 'Schrödinger's Box'. Then after you ascend, my body will naturally be able to take care of you, and

No need to bother." His God

The situation gradually became serious, "But if you can't remember this, it means that Schrödinger's box has been closed, and anyone below the realm of Yang Shen will be hindered from my thinking and research. In this case, I must ask

You guys told me something."

"...In other words, what you have prepared is actually for us to come to visit you after we become Yang Shen True Immortals - that is, it is prepared for now, right?" Wu Jie asked.

Hua Siyuan nodded and took the pillow away from the bed. There was a small box underneath.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that there would be two people traveling through time, so I only prepared one copy." He smiled apologetically, "This box contains my token and a talisman. With this

The token can be contacted with the Fighting God Organization and sent to the Jade Palace. The Jade Palace is my most powerful magic weapon, and its weapon spirit, the Jade Emperor, is mine.

Second Disciple. If nothing unexpected happens, my eldest disciple Xinghe Shenjun should also live in the Jade Palace. Come to the Jade Palace with this token, they will teach you with all their strength, and you can also get the true inheritance of Tianwen; then if you can achieve immortality

Lord Tian, ​​you can use that talisman to open a secret treasure house, which contains the most important treasure I left behind."

"What kind of treasure is it?" Wu Jie asked with a smile.

Hua Siyuan was silent for a moment and said: "If there are no accidents, it should be the 'Schrödinger's box' inside."

Wu Jie and Yin Shuang were stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you. They were both shocked and speechless.

Hua Siyuan picked up the box and handed it to them: "You decide for yourself, who will accept it?"

Wu Jie frowned, looked at Yin Shuang, and met her eyes.

"This is a great opportunity. Even if it's you, I won't give in!" Yin Shuang said with a smile, "If I can get the true biography of the great god, I can wash away the humiliation of being surpassed by you. Maybe it will be me in the future.

Saved you!"

Wu Jie began to think deeply, and after a while, he smiled.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

In the end, it was Yin Shuang who was stunned. Her eyes widened and she looked at Wu Jie in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know, I will give you this opportunity." Wu Jie said calmly.

"But... this is actually more suitable for you!" Yin Shuang couldn't help shouting, "What you practice is the four skills of the God of War!"

"So what?" Wu Jie smiled, "I have already obtained the Secret Code of Heavenly Questions. For me, this is enough."

Yin Shuang turned to look at Hua Siyuan: "Lao Hua, among the things you left behind, is there anything deeper about Tianwen...?"

"Of course there is." Hua Siyuan said, "Tianwen is my understanding of the world. Starting from it, I elaborated on the subtlety of making something out of nothing, which can create all things, even beyond the limits of heaven. Those detailed and exquisite questions

Things cannot be fully described in just a book or a spiritual thought. In the Jade Palace, the records describing Tianwen can at least be piled up into a mountain."

"Did you hear that!" Yin Shuang shouted, "What we have learned about Tianwen now is just scratching the surface!"

"That's right." Wu Jie said with a smile, "But I have already felt that Tianwen's path is actually not very suitable for me."

"What are you talking about! That's the path of the Great God Lord! Just follow it honestly!" Yin Shuang almost poked him with her finger. "If you follow this path, you can become the Great God Lord even if you can't.

God of Creation! God of the Galaxy and God of the Jade Emperor are both famous and powerful men in all the heavens and realms!"

"I only follow the path that suits me." Wu Jie shook his head with a smile and turned to look at Hua Siyuan, "Old Hua, can I ask a question?"

"Ask."

"What is the path to immortality that you have chosen?"

Hua Siyuan was silent for a moment and replied: "Creation, I am taking the path of creation...Creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin, so if you are willing to take the path of destruction, my path can also be used as a good reference."

Wu Jie nodded: "I know there is a peerless strong man - well, probably on the same level as you - he takes the path of control, controlling everything in the world. If I am willing to take this path, he will have a

The complete orthodoxy was left to me."

Hua Siyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, his body trembled slightly, he wanted to say something, but stopped.

But looking at his eyes, Wu Jie knew that he had guessed who he was talking about.

"I don't choose the path of control; I don't want to choose the path of creation or destruction." Wu Jie said with a smile, "The path I chose is the path of harmony."

Hua Siyuan suddenly understood, patted his shoulder and sighed: "I wish you good luck!"

Wu Jie looked at Yin Shuang with a smile: "Do you understand now? My path determines that I cannot take Lao Hua's path. Although his path is indeed very good, if I were to choose, I would definitely choose it in the end.

It would be a waste of the most important thing!”

"Don't I waste it?" Yin Shuang asked.

"You were born in the blood system of Taoism, and later turned to sword cultivation and changed paths. It is not a problem for you." Wu explained, "And the path you took to achieve immortality also belongs to the direction of destruction. This way you can use it in the future.

Lao Hua’s experience has deduced the path to destruction, and his achievements may not be as good as his!”

Yin Shuang didn't say anything and looked at him intently.

Wu Jie felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, I'll explain, I'll tell the truth! In fact, I'm quite jealous of the orthodoxy left by Lao Hua. Even if it ends up wasting the most.

Important things, but the first ones themselves have incomparable value. If the competitor is not you, I will not give in!"

"In front of the Dao, there should be no thought of making concessions!" Yin Shuang said seriously, "Only by being sincere to the Dao can we achieve the Dao!"

"That's what you think." Wu Jie smiled easily, "For me, there are always some people and some things in the world that are more important than the great road."

Yin Shuang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply and took the box from Hua Siyuan.

"Wu Lang, I owe you everything in this life, and I really don't know how to pay it back..." Her voice was choked and her body was shaking slightly.

Wu Jie hugged her gently, smiled in her ear and said, "What do husband and wife owe each other? You think too much!"

While the two were so affectionate, Hua Siyuan couldn't help shouting: "Hey! You two bitches, you are deliberately trying to blind me, right? Are you bullying me so that I can't find a girlfriend for the rest of my life?"

"

Wu Jie and Yin Shuang finally came to their senses and hurriedly let go of their hands, both blushing for a moment.

In order to cover up his embarrassment, Wu Jie randomly picked a topic: "Lao Hua, what do you mean when you say you haven't found a girlfriend in your two lives? You were a scientist in your previous life, so it's not surprising that you couldn't find a girlfriend, but in this life you are

Great God! The woman who is willing to fall in love with you, even if she does not have 100,000 yuan, she will only have 80,000 yuan. How can she not have a girlfriend? "

Hua Siyuan was stunned immediately and his face slowly turned red.

"Can I not say it?" he asked.

Wu Jie smiled and shook his head.

Hua Siyuan sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Many, many years ago, when I was a rookie, no one liked me. When I became a big shot, there were many, many people who liked me, but I didn't

I like someone else."

Wu Jie couldn't help but laugh: "This seems to be in line with a famous saying."

"What famous quote?"

"There are two types of people who don't have girlfriends: one is looked down upon by no one, and the other is looked down upon by no one."

Hua Siyuan was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.

Just as Wu Jie said, although he has a way to escape the punishment of heaven, he cannot change his own immediate difficulties. It does not matter whether the cat inside the box is dead or alive. What is important is whether the people outside the box are living well or not.

Hua Siyuan, who was able to create that box, even though he was invincible in all the worlds, was still a lonely and lonely person after all.

"Wu Jie," after Wu Jie and Yin Shuang left, his sigh sounded in the cabin, "I really, really envy you..." (To be continued
