When we want to observe the wave nature of electrons, so when we use a double-slit alchemical device to test it, we will find that it has obvious wave characteristics-interference fringes. And when we try to observe the particle nature of electrons, we will see two
When a recorder is added near the gap, the interference fringes disappear, and the pure particle nature is revealed...
Is this the reality of the world? What do electrons do when we want them? Observation changes the world?
I don’t know how many arcanists’ heads are in a mess, even more confusing than when they analyze the arcane meaning of weird magic. This involves their understanding of the entire world and their understanding of themselves! They once thought that only with the help of magic
, the world will have all kinds of bizarre and unconventional phenomena. Who knew that the bottom and foundation of the real world - the microscopic realm, is a place more bizarre than magic and more exaggerated than fantasy!
"Is this the embodiment of the principle of complementarity in wave-particle duality? Wave nature and particle nature cannot appear together. When one is determined, the other will disappear instantly, so it shows the uncertainty principle?" Larry controlled his shock.
, feeling surprised, excited and excited, thinking about the arcane principles demonstrated by Lucien's electronic double-slit interference experiment.
He warned himself that he must not connect the microscopic realm with the macroscopic world at this time, otherwise it would confuse cognition and conflict with various real things in the material world, making him appear at a loss or even contradict himself.
"When the microscopic realm transitions to the macroscopic world, there must be other factors affecting it, which causes the wave function to collapse, the volatility to disappear, and the particle nature to be determined..." Annick, Splinter, Dieppe, Timothy
The arcanists also keep reminding themselves, otherwise their cognition will be shaken by Lucien's electronic double-slit interference experiment!
Only by firmly believing in similar ideas can they accept various experimental results in the current microscopic field.
This is perhaps the most subversive and incredible field in the history of arcane and magic!
Although middle and low-level arcane masters are still beginners in the microscopic realm and have not built their own cognitive world based on this, the various incredible results and inferences in the microscopic realm are in contradiction with the common sense of the macroscopic world, and these common sense are their
The outlook on life, the world, and the foundation of values are all still expressions of confusion or pain, and they feel at a loss as their three outlooks are impacted.
"As expected of the destroyer of three views..." Countless arcanists cursed in fear in their hearts.
After the strong impact caused by the electronic double-slit interference experiment slowly subsided, Larry, Dieppe, Annick, Splinter and other outstanding arcanists in the microscopic field showed slightly excited expressions. This experiment made them more profound.
After understanding the wave-particle duality and the principle of complementarity of electrons, I am full of enthusiasm for exploring the microscopic field!
"I have a question." Suddenly, Oliver, whose expression was slightly distorted, took a step forward, and the dim light around him returned to normal. Just now, he almost realized that the world was shaken and he was hurt.
Lucien nodded slightly: "Just ask."
Larry Dieppe looked over curiously: "Do you have any questions, Sir Oliver?"
Oliver took a breath: "Observation changes the result. What is the specific definition of this observation? This involves the transition from the microscopic realm to the macroscopic world."
"This observation refers to the observation we make of electrons by various means." Lucien replied calmly, his eyelids lowered to cover the emotions in his pupils.
Oliver had calmed down, with a smile on his lips, and said in a poet-like tone: "The core is us? Then I have a thought experiment. I think everyone knows the decay of the atomic nucleus, right?"
Samantha, Rachel, Heidi and others all nodded quietly. Elemental decay is one of the major branches in the microscopic field. The Lord of Storms and the Lord of Elements have just obtained the Evans by studying it.
Arcane Award, and it represents a new energy direction and a powerful destructive legendary magic. No arcanist does not pay attention to this field!
Oliver continued: "Assuming that this atomic nucleus has a 50% chance of decay, then we design such an experimental device..."
He described an ingenious experimental design in which the decay of an atomic nucleus and the release of neutrons would trigger a series of reactions that would eventually break a glass bottle containing a fatal curse.
"If we put a poor cat into this experimental device, normally we can describe it like this, there is a 50% chance that the cat will be killed by the curse." Annick said when Oliver explained the experimental device.
Splinter's face suddenly turned pale, and they seemed to have thought of something terrible.
Dieppe, Larry, Urisian and other outstanding arcane masters in the microscopic realm couldn't help but trembled their hands slightly, and their faces were livid because they had probably guessed what Mr. Oliver wanted to express. He wanted to use the microscopic realm through simple and clever methods.
-The experimental device is connected with the macroscopic world! This is a problem they have been trying to avoid before!
In the curious eyes of most arcanists, Oliver's voice rose slightly: "If we seal this experimental device and do not observe it, then according to Lucien's interpretation, the atomic nuclei belonging to the microscopic realm will show a quantum superposition state, in
Such a magical state in the mixed superposition of decaying and non-decaying will randomly collapse into a definite result until we observe it."
"What I want to ask you is, what about the poor cat? Since it will die if it decays and it will live if it decays, then the quantum superposition state of the atom is equivalent to the state it is in? This means that it is in the experimental device
In a quantum superposition of life and death?”
"is it possible?"
"Or maybe the cat's observation will also cause the wave function to collapse, making the result certain?"
Boom, the faces of Larry, Dieppe and others have turned from livid to pale. The superimposed state of life and death? A cat that is both alive and dead? No magic can produce this state! Sir Oliver used an exquisite and ingenious simple experiment
, amplifying the wonders of the microscopic realm to the macroscopic world!
This makes it impossible for them to ignore this problem anymore, which makes them have to face the huge contradiction between the microscopic realm and the macroscopic world, and have to think about the mystery of the transition. If it were not the Grand Arcanist who proposed this experiment, Splinter would like to say
In short, I will strangle that cat to death, so there will be no contradiction!
They had just agreed with Lucien's interpretation due to the electronic double-slit interference experiment. Their faces were in burning pain, as if they had been slapped hard.
Oliver looked at Lucien, who was silent on the podium: "What condition is this cat in?"
Due to the fact of the state transitions experienced by Immortal Tunnel and Lucien, he does not reject the concept of quantum superposition state. But what he does not understand is at what scale the quantum superposition state can be established. Microscopic particles such as electrons, protons, and atoms can still be used.
Extending to molecules, extending to cells, extending to ordinary organisms, extending to intelligent life? Only by clarifying this boundary can we find the reason why the quantum superposition state disappears, thereby laying an arcane foundation for a safe and god-like path without hidden dangers!
Therefore, he was not satisfied with the rough explanation that Lucien's observation caused the disappearance of the quantum superposition state. Human observation would cause collapse. What about other intelligent life forms? What about ordinary cats without magic? What about inanimate matter? Smaller scales
What about molecules?
As Oliver asked, everyone's eyes focused on Lucien, waiting for his answer.
Lucien still lowered his eyes slightly and said: "Yes, cats are in a quantum superposition state of life and death."
"What?" I don't know how many voices sounded the superposition state of life and death? Cats can be in this state, but humans? Why have we never experienced it?
The other Grand Arcanists listened silently to the conversation between the two, while Oliver said in a low voice: "What about humans? It's not the poor cat that is locked in the experimental device, but humans? He is also in a state of life and death.
Quantum superposition state?”
"No, the wave function has collapsed at this time, and the result is determined, either life or death, there will be no superposition of life and death." Lucien answered quickly as if he had already thought about it.
Oliver took a step forward again: "What's the difference between that man and a cat? Why can the former's observation make the wave function collapse and the quantum superposition state disappear, but the latter's can't?"
Lucien moved the corners of his mouth slightly, but still said it: "Only with the participation of conscious awareness and conscious intelligent observers can the wave function collapse."
This?! All the arcanists were shocked. They never thought that Lucien would give such an explanation. If consciousness and intelligent observers are the cause of the disappearance of the quantum superposition state, many terrible facts will be deduced!
Fernando, who had been patient for a long time, roared, and a terrifying air pressure was generated in the large classroom: "In other words, before the conscious observer appears, the entire world, the entire universe, is in a wave function state and a diffuse probability cloud state without substance.
, and then after a long wait the first observer was born, and then the universe and the world collapsed into what we see now?”
The universe has spread for hundreds of millions of years, just to wait for "your" affectionate look?
This is more than ridiculous! It is simply the dream talk of a madman!
"Why can't it be like this? We can't understand the world before the first observer. What's the meaning of what state it is in?" Lucien did not look at the teacher.
Douglas couldn't help it anymore and said seriously: "That means there is a first observer, the original and supreme observer? Is this what you mean?"
Not only Brooke and Oliver couldn't agree with it, but even Helen and Hathaway, who were relatively more accepting of Lucien's interpretation, shook their heads firmly after he proposed the observer's interpretation.
Lucien suddenly raised his head and looked at all the arcanists: "Have you never thought about why there is extraordinary power? Why is there magic?"
"Starting from consciousness, starting from the observer effect, maybe this is a way!"
The magnetic and restrained voice echoed in the large classroom, hitting the hearts of all arcanists including Douglas, Brooke, and Fernando. Yes, what is the essence of magic? This is a question that the Parliament has been exploring since its establishment! This
This is a problem that will inevitably arise after human beings witness various extraordinary phenomena! Unless human beings stop thinking and spend their lives in confusion like cats and dogs!
The more they understand the reality of the world, the more puzzled the arcanists are about this issue, just like Lucien's Uncertainty Principle, because there seems to be no place for magic in the laws that are close to the reality of the world!
Consciousness, the observer effect, might be the path to explanation?
Annick looked at the teacher on the podium and struggled in his heart. The teacher was so graceful, so majestic, so majestic, and so correct that people couldn't help but believe his words and follow his footsteps.
, he is the most authoritative master in the microscopic field and the macroscopic starry sky!
In my mind, the teacher is so tall and majestic like a mountain. He is a being that he looks up to all his life. He is an idol that he desperately chases but cannot keep up with.
But, but, why does the teacher provide such an explanation for the transition from the microscopic realm to the macroscopic realm, that is, the collapse of the wave function?
Did I think wrongly?
Was past experience and my imagination deceiving me?
Looking sideways, he saw the confused expressions of Heidi, Katrina and other classmates, and saw Splinter's twisted face with clenched teeth.
In the strange silence, Lucien's deep and mellow voice sounded again: "The first observer may not be a transcendent being, maybe he is the same as us."
"As for the supreme observer that the Speaker is worried about, that is, the god who throws the dice, we can ignore it."
"Recall the experiment just now. My observation led to changes in the properties of electrons. If I can complete such an observation, each of you can complete it."
"The god who throws dice does exist, but it is not outside, but in the heart of each of us. Each of us is our own supreme god!"
Douglas, Fernando, Atlante and others looked at Lucien in astonishment, while others were also shocked by Lucien's words, and the scene fell into extreme silence and silence.
Suddenly, someone in the lecture seat stood up, like the Grand Arcanist, Archmage and others who arrived later.
"Annick?" Lucien looked at the man who stood up.
"Teacher..." Annick was vague in his throat for a few times, and finally said weakly but firmly:
"I don't think your explanation is quite right."
After saying that, he did not look away shyly and lowered his head like before, but looked firmly at Lucien.
"Teacher, I also think there is something wrong with your explanation." After struggling, the tall and thin Splinter suddenly stood up, and followed Heidi, Katrina, Leylia, Larry, and Dieppe.
Looking at the astonished eyes of the others, he stubbornly raised his chin slightly and said loudly.
