Chapter 511 Observer effect, quantum ghost?

  Elemental ghosts...a word that strikes terror into all who are born in the lands of wizards.

  No one can forget the research accident that was almost a disaster for elemental wizards more than ten years ago.

   It is said that at that time, Altok, the master of elements, and the wizards of his school were studying more microscopic fields.

  To this day, Harov has finally come to his senses. What exactly did this friend see before going mad? They must have touched the quantum realm, and they may even have done a similar double-slit interference experiment before!

  【It is avoiding me, it knows that I am observing it... They are ghosts, ghosts of elements! 】

   Harov couldn't help recalling the manuscript left by Altok in his mind, and the content on it made people shudder.

  The rest of the wizards in the large exhibition hall fell into horror and panic.

  Electrons are everywhere, and they are one of the most critical microscopic particles that make up elements!

  If this thing has consciousness, it will be a terrifying existence...

  Seeing that everyone started to discuss the quantum ghost, and the situation on the field was in danger of getting out of control, Lynn couldn't help but increase his voice, and interrupted everyone's words. "I don't agree with the conjecture of the consciousness of microscopic elements... at least there is no valid evidence to prove this!"

   "But... the results of the experiment just now couldn't be more clear. It is our observation that changed the trajectory of electrons..." An old wizard said with a frantic expression.

   "Isn't this exactly your judgment, Speaker Lynn?" Sanchez also added in surprise.

  The wizards in the exhibition hall were also arguing, and some people even said that 'the electrons are afraid of them, so they hide their true form'.

  Lin En was very speechless, so he had to raise his voice a little bit, and said emphatically. "It's just a probability collapse, just like the gold coin just now. For you, its state is also unknown before it is revealed, but can you say it has wisdom?"

   "This is completely different!" The old wizard slapped the table excitedly. "That gold coin, whether we look at it or not, it's there, and its status never changes."

  This is the difference between the two. For microscopic particles, observation can only confirm the current position and trajectory. Once the observation is stopped, the state becomes a chaotic probability cloud again.

   "At least, if we don't look at it, we will never be able to confirm its state at the moment!" Lynn shrugged, and then spoke again. "And about the collapse of the probability cloud, I already have some preliminary ideas."

  Harov and others immediately looked over, and the exhibition hall immediately became quiet.

  Lin En cleared his throat, but he didn't mean to be a joke, and said directly.

"I think observation itself has power! To see an object, we need light, and to hear sound, we must perceive vibration. That is to say, we cannot know something without affecting it at all. information, and this effect may be the result of a change in the state of the electron."

   "You mean that it is not necessarily the observation that causes the electrons to change from a superposition state to a particle state, but other incidental factors?" Harov said in a deep voice. "For example, we observe with the help of magic, so it has an impact on it."

  It's like a fish swimming in the water is firmly bound by a strong fishing net, unable to stretch its body freely, swimming in the lake, and can only struggle feebly in the net.

  This explanation is more acceptable.

"No, that's not right!" Vittorio on the side shook his head. Just now, the four of them and the great wizards in the exhibition hall not only conducted observations, but also conducted some experiments to expand the domain itself. It will not have any influence on the results of the experiment.

  The light spots in the form of interference fringes on the electronic screen are the proof.

  The real change lies in the moment they start to observe, and it is not specific to any one person, anyone can observe, and there seems to be no requirement for strength.

  Whether it is an apprentice, a formal wizard, a great wizard or a legendary wizard, Vittorio even suspects that even an ordinary person can cause electrons to change from a wave-particle superposition state to a stable particle state.

   "Is the power of the observation itself?" Aurora's brain was a little confused, and the weirdness of the quantum field made her a little headache to understand. She could only guess that the power of psionic energy might have affected all of this.

   Lynn is also thinking about this problem.

  The Federation’s research on the quantum field in the previous life has actually been very in-depth, and has produced a lot of scientific research results, but how to explain the observer effect more scientifically is still a maddening problem.

  In order to crack it, the researchers of the Federation racked their brains, trying to restore this phenomenon without observing it.

  If it is a magnetic field, then use a strong magnetic field to interfere; if it is gravity, then create a gravitational field; if it is other microscopic elements, then create a particle flow to try to intercept electrons.

   It turns out that these things can indeed affect the trajectory of the electron, but they can only barely reproduce it if they carefully adjust various data.

  And people only need to take a look at the observation results, even if they directly input the results into their brains without eyes, it can also affect the trajectory of electrons.

  The scientific researchers of the Federation were very puzzled, and many people insisted that they did not want to believe that the observations really caused all this.

  After all, human beings are just carbon-based organisms, and there is nothing special about being able to mass-produce them using cloning technology.

  It's hard to imagine that such a thing can have a decisive impact on the mysterious microscopic field.

   But the situation seems to be a little different now. The soul really exists, and it can be visualized with the help of magic power, and it can even be used as a high-level energy. This has been confirmed without a doubt.

  Lin En quickly broke free from the complicated thoughts, looked at a speaker who was still frowning and meditating and the terrified wizards, and spoke again.

"Electrons exist in any element. If they possess intelligence, they won't be allowed to act arbitrarily. In comparison, it is more like a law, a new law, different from the law of the macroscopic world! "

  Lin En's words slightly eased the wizards' fear of elemental ghosts. As he said, if electrons had wisdom, they would never be able to cast spells so smoothly.

   "In short, we need experiments, more experiments!" Harov said firmly. "Only more rigorous experiments can answer all these questions!"

  Whether it is the wave-particle duality proposed by Lynn or the probability theory needs further experiments to prove it.

  Aurora also proposed some experimental ideas. Because the emission and trajectory of electrons are not regular, they could not 'see' electrons at fixed points when they were observing before.

  Whether it is possible to find a way to observe suddenly at the moment when the electron just passes through the gap, so as to observe how the electron is transmitted in the form of probability waves.

   You can also increase the number of gaps to three or four, and see if the results of the experiment will change.

  Vittorio even proposed with an open mind that an instrument that can detect the trajectory of electrons can be manufactured, and without anyone observing, record the process of the double-slit experiment, and then check it afterwards.

  Listening to the discussion of several people, Lynn's mouth twitched involuntarily.

  Hey guy, this is going to be a more terrifying delay-selection quantum erasure experiment...

Lin En opened his mouth, originally wanting to let them calm down for a while, at least it would not be too late to think about these more profound issues after understanding what is called probability cloud and what is called wave-particle duality, but after thinking about it for a while, Still shut up.

  Because Harov and others are definitely not the only ones who can think of these experimental methods. It is impossible for him to stop every wizard from carrying out experiments in private. If they are allowed to study on their own, they may be able to come up with some sensational theories.

   It's better to conduct research in a fair manner, at least I can help explain some weird microscopic phenomena, so that people won't bring magic into the ditch.

After a while of discussion, Harov and others did not choose to put their ideas into action now, but were going to go back and study how to conduct the next experiment. Even if it was announced that today's academic seminar is here Finish.

  Glenn and the others who walked out of the exhibition hall still felt a little dizzy. Lynn's improved double-slit interference experiment completely defeated their previous understanding of the world.

  In fact, Glenn's situation is not bad, many wizards were still muttering when they left the venue. "Ghosts...elemental ghosts really exist!" "This world is fake!" "Magicism doesn't exist anymore, magicology doesn't exist anymore!"

   "Teacher, do you really think that this world is determined by probability?" Fulla said in awe. "This is so... so weird!"

  Anthony is also a little shaken. According to Lynn, all microscopic particles have similar characteristics, and light is no exception.

   Could it be that electromagnetic waves are actually particles? Or does it really have the characteristics of some kind of particle?

   After a long while, Anthony came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and replied. "As Speaker Lynn said, the laws of the world don't necessarily conform to our cognition..."

   "However, we need to conduct experiments in person to prove it!"

  Anthony did not deny the test results in the exhibition hall just now, but he did not completely give up his wave theory.

A double-slit interference experiment is not enough to overthrow the cornerstone of magic. Maybe as they study more in-depth in the microscopic field, there will be many more novel discoveries that can prove that this world is still in line with cognition. some key factors.

   There are not a few people who think like Anthony. Sanchez, Allard and other great wizards who support the particle theory want to find evidence that can refute the probability wave after leaving the seminar.

  They can never believe that this world is determined by probability, and everything must have laws!

On the other side, at the seminar, Lynn was instructing Jonny and the others to put away the various instruments on the experimental table. He could already imagine what kind of consequences would be caused when the results of this experiment were announced by [Magic Daily] tomorrow. There was an uproar.

  Quantum theory is a subversive challenge to the traditional concept of magic, and it is bound to have a great impact, so he made a disclaimer on purpose.

  In any case, this difficulty and ideological barrier must be overcome after all, otherwise the magic science may stop here, and they will never be able to defeat the high god!

   "Speaker Lynn."

   Behind him, a shout interrupted Lynn's thoughts.

   "Speaker Aurora, do you have any questions for me to answer?" Lynn turned his head and asked with a smile.

   "There are naturally many questions, but what I want to ask is about the Arcane Society." Aurora said bluntly.

  The expression on Lin En's face remained unchanged, but it was not surprising that the other party would ask this.

  After all, he and Harov and others said before that the main body of the [Secret Society] is within the empire.

Now the army of the Magic Kingdom has occupied more than 70% of the empire's territory. Even though he had made some preparations before and recruited many talented wizards to join the [Secret Society] to expand the number of people, there is still a substantial Problem not resolved.

   That is the direction of the [Secret Society], all the 'legendary wizards'!

  In the past, they could use the unknown situation as an excuse, but now that they have defeated Ayla, these people haven't appeared yet, so it's obviously unreasonable.

  In fact, Lynn had already thought of a solution, and it was beyond his expectation that Aurora and the others could endure until now to ask.

"Since it's about the [Secret Society], why not hold a legend meeting directly and ask in person? Although I am also a member of the [Secret Society], I am not like the teachers like Albert and Isaac. I know everything I have learned." Lynn said with a smile.

  Aurora paused for a moment, and then remembered that she possessed the [Ring of the Secret Law] did have the authority to call a legendary meeting, but she had never used it.

   "Well, why not set the meeting time at twelve o'clock tonight." Aurora nodded and said freely.

  It is indeed more to her liking to ask face to face. In addition to the confusion about the [Secret Society], maybe they can discuss all kinds of unreasonable phenomena in the quantum field together.

You must know that it took only a few months for Lynn to be promoted to the legend. No matter how talented this star of magic is, he could not understand the microscopic field so deeply in such a short period of time, so she guessed Lynn's part The research data on microscopic particles must come from the [Secret Society]...

   "By the way, call Harov and Chairman Vittorio." Lynn reminded that it had been delayed for so long, and now is the time to solve it!
