The content of this chapter still mainly focuses on the content of Vers’ speech.
——————————————————————
It's a bit reluctant for everyone to answer this question, so I'll just announce the answer.
When we observe electrons, as I mentioned in my previous question, after confirming that the particles have passed through the double slits and placing a camera on the back panel, the particles we see at this time appear in the form of particles.
, and once we take away the camera, the particles exist in the form of waves.
This is the so-called wave-particle duality.
If it were explained in a more understandable way.
Just like when we roll a basketball along a straight line, if we don't look at the basketball, the basketball will become a line from starting point A to point B.
But when we turn around and observe the basketball with the naked eye, we will find that the basketball has not turned into a line, it is still the original spherical shape.
Of course, this metaphor is not rigorous enough, and is just to forcefully explain the "wave-particle duality".
As for the real simulation experiment, we must mention "Schrödinger's cat".
Everyone must have heard of this experiment, right?
It seems that no matter whether you understand physics or not, as long as you can say "Schrödinger's cat", you will immediately appear to be very capable.
…
So is this description correct?
From my personal point of view, this is indeed the case.
Schrödinger's cat is a fairly complete and rigorous experiment that can describe the inner essence of "wave-particle duality".
So what is the specific content of this experiment?
…
First, we assume that there is a box that is completely closed to the outside world, and a cat and a radioactive substance are placed in the box.
There is a 50% chance that this radioactive material will decay and kill the cat in the box, but there is also a 50% chance that the radioactive material will remain intact and be fine with the cat.
But let’s go ahead and mention that this is a box that is completely closed to the outside world, and there is no camera or other equipment in the box that can observe the state of cats and radioactive materials.
At this time, whether the cat is alive or dead is completely unknown.
It can also be assumed that the cat at this time exists in a chaotic state of both life and death.
But everyone knows that this state does not exist. It should be said that the cat is either dead or alive at this time.
But no matter what kind of guess it is, without definite observation as a premise, we cannot say whether the cat in the box is dead or alive.
In other words, our observations will ultimately determine the cat's "fate."
In other words, it is our observation that ultimately determines whether the cat is alive or dead, turning the chaotic state into an orderly and acceptable reality.
…
Mr. Hao is right. At this time, physics issues have begun to gradually extend to the scope of philosophy.
So is there a connection between physics and philosophy, or between physics and all disciplines?
hehe……
I'm just making a conjecture.
…
What exactly is a factor...
I seem to have figured it out.
It may be the observer who is dormant around us and has insight into everything in the universe, or in other words, they are the power of the observer.
Because of their existence, order is maintained, but once they disappear, everything will return to a state of chaos.
The original person who proposed this conjecture was not me, but Mr. Yang Di.
He mentioned in an unpublished paper that he hypothesized wave-particle duality
What about us who respect ourselves as Homo sapiens and gradually move closer to the god of wisdom?
…
I still remember that Mr. Yang Di made such a metaphor for Schrödinger's cat in this unpublished paper.
He said that when you are alone at home, you may play crazy, don't care about your hairstyle, sing loudly, don't care about being tone deaf, it doesn't matter whether you wear clothes or not, and the noise you make will be loud and even weird...
...To sum up, all your behaviors have become unpredictable. Don't say that others don't know that you have such a side, and you yourself don't know what's wrong with you and what you will do next!
But if a guest comes to your home at this time, you will immediately settle down, start to dress up, your voice will become quiet and cute, and your behavior will become steady and appropriate!
Why is this happening? Is it because we also have wave-particle duality?
As long as someone observes us, we will become orderly. If no one observes us, we will become chaotic?
And if this is true, then...
Who is observing this universe?
…
When I first read this conjecture, I had not yet come into contact with such a deep-level problem. But now, when factors are discovered by us and have an impact on our world, I feel more and more terrible about this conjecture!
Mr. Yang Di is a great man. As the eternal spiritual leader of the Reflector School, he is respectable.
The reflections he left us are also worthy of our in-depth thinking.
…
At this point, I enter the final part about my understanding of factors.
That is the "observer" conjecture.
While we explore the mysteries contained in "quantum entanglement", "wave-particle duality" and "Schrödinger's cat", we should gradually become aware of the existence of such an "observer"!
And it's not that far away.
Just like Mr. Yang Di's metaphor.
Guests are perhaps the most common “observers” we encounter!
They don't need special identities or powers to restore us to a "normal" state of order.
If you zoom in a little more and take a look.
The once arrogant "golden birdcage" that almost wiped out mankind can also serve as an observer.
Because it controls the data information of all mankind, every move of all of us is under its observation, and it only needs appropriate intervention to keep everything stable according to its "order" for many years.
Let me talk about something more specific and impressive.
That is the "Central Curtain".
The power of the Central Veil is still beyond our reach. As the guardian of rekindling human civilization, perhaps the Central Veil has gradually become degenerate and even shaped like shackles, but it has to be said that the Central Veil has taught us
a lot of things.
I believe everyone here understands this deeply.
…
As one of the leaders of the warp engine research and development project, I have never been satisfied with my work and results, and even felt that my efforts were in vain.
Especially after listening to what Mr. Hao and Professor Tang said.
I feel even more that the current direction of progress in the warp engine is wrong. Maybe we should stop, go back and start from scratch.
…
But before that, I think I need to put down what I am doing and, as Professor Tang said, go find more "paper".
And I think "factor" is the best paper.
in addition……
Regarding the meaning of life mentioned by the old man, Uncle Li gave a reminder.
I feel that these things should not be considered by everyone here today, because if we are all retreating, then who should push forward the overall human civilization?
If scientists are all afraid of death, then why don't we simply drop all research and return to the time when the Zansbol Empire ruled?
During the empire's two thousand years of rule, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, singing and dancing everywhere. Such days were certainly very beautiful, especially for individuals who existed in the society as a whole.
Everyone just needs to fall in love, listen to music, watch TV shows, and enjoy delicious food. Why bother looking for the future again and again?
Although I have never experienced such a life, I have also longed for it.
But let’s talk about the word meaning.
Positive exploration is not meaningful?
Does the progress of human civilization count as meaningful?
Without the sacrifices of those scientists who dared to try, would we have the rich entertainment programs we have today?
Or...
On the other hand, let’s look at the six thousand years since we arrived on Gaia.
We have been comfortable for too long, should we hit the road again?
Is it the most meaningful to not think about it, not to struggle, and just to settle for the status quo?
Same as old man?
If I said that in the future it would be possible for you to wear special equipment and travel along the long river of time, go back to the past within the prescribed order, and see your family again, would you still be willing to watch the sunrise and sunset on the dome all day long? How about the beginning and end of another day?
Uncle Li.
As you said, the problems that technological progress can solve may gradually become less than the problems it creates.
So can you work hard to solve these problems instead of asking science to stop moving forward?
…
Perhaps factors are the ultimate answer to Schrödinger's cat.
The existence of observers will also determine whether we humans are qualified to move to the next level!
…
"Do not approach this good night meekly..."
This is the life motto given to me by Sister Manny.
So, no matter what I said has changed your minds, please remember that today and in the future, we are destined to change!
No one can stop this!

"Brother... what exactly is Schrödinger's cat? Why can't I figure it out?" Su Mi asked Bai Ze.
Bai Ze sat with her on Zhuo Yuan Temple. A peach blossom tree beside him swayed in the breeze, and its petals swayed leisurely. When it fell on Zhuo Yuan Temple, it was like falling into water, with ripples.
Bai Ze picked up the petals in front of him, turned to look at the peach blossom tree beside him and said, "When you don't look at this flower, this flower and your heart are silent together. When you look at this, the color of this flower suddenly becomes brighter. You will know This flower is not outside your heart."
Sumi also turned her head and looked at the peach blossom tree, looking at the peach blossoms under the clear sky. She listened in a daze, as if she understood, but also as if she didn't understand at all.
But she always felt that the artistic conception conveyed by this sentence had perfectly explained the problems that she had difficulty understanding before.
When you don’t look at this flower... your heart becomes silent...
Come and see this flower...and you will know that the flower is not outside your heart...
After thinking about it for a while, Sumi suddenly had an epiphany and couldn't help but praise: "Brother, you are so awesome!"
Bai Ze smiled: "This is what Wang Yangming said, not what I realized."
