Although Linn threw out light quanta, wavelength formulas and probability cloud models one after another, all the wizards present were caught up in thinking about these theories.
But after all, many people still remember their purpose of coming to surround this magic star!
That is to save the few pieces of magic foundation left under the impact of quantum theory...
Arad knew very well that if they could not defend Linn today, in the future the wave-particle duality and the elemental probability cloud model would be recognized by the parliament and become the most mainstream magic theory!
The magic tower built of order and regularity in the past will also collapse!
Thinking of this, Arad turned his head and motioned to Boulder beside him.
Now it's time for him to take the field!
The great wizard named Bould nodded, then clapped his hands, and several apprentices lifted out a huge, fully enclosed cage.
"This is the gift I prepared for you, Speaker Lynn!" Boulder said, pointing to the cage.
Lin En glanced at it. Such a large size also made him somewhat curious.
"There is a camel beast inside. Of course, according to your quantum theory, it is probably a camel beast that is both dead and alive!" Boulder introduced with a smile.
Inside this cage, he releases a delayed-lethal toxin, and a robust camel usually faints and dies within six to ten hours.
"And now it has been seven hours. It may be dead or alive. So we can say that it is now in a superposition state of both dead and alive, right?" Boulder said proudly.
The wizards present laughed.
This is of course impossible!
Even without observing them, they knew that the camel beast in the cage must be in only one state, either dead or alive!
It must be said that Boulder's metaphor of the opposition between life and death to describe waves and particles is very appropriate, because logically they cannot coexist.
A living thing cannot be both alive and dead, and an object cannot be both a particle and a wave.
Allard and other great wizards turned to look at Linn, extremely curious as to how the magic star would answer this pointed question.
The proud expression on Boulder's face gradually faded away, and he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. He began to think about whether this 'big gift' he had sent would offend the new speaker too much.
Although he had heard that the magic star was always open-minded in his debates on magic, it was just a rumor in the end.
Boulder somewhat doubted whether he was too credulous in the instigation of Jeffrey and others.
Under everyone's attention, Linn suddenly raised his hand and reached out to Boulder.
Just when a group of great wizards were wondering if the magic star was angry, they saw that he just patted Boulder on the shoulder, and then spoke appreciatively.
"Your understanding of quantum science is very good, Master Boulder!"
"Huh? Huh?!" Boulder paused, almost thinking that he had heard wrongly.
Arad and others were also stunned on the spot, completely unable to understand why the magic star would praise Boulder for bringing out the caged camel beast.
This is clearly meant to ridicule his wave-particle duality and probability theory.
However, Linn didn't care about this. He glanced at the confused Boulder and explained with a smile. "A camel beast that is in a closed state and may die at any time can indeed interpret some quantum properties..."
"But the status of this camel beast can only be dead or alive, not their superposition!" A great wizard couldn't help but interrupt. "Whether you observe it or not, it is impossible for it to be dead and alive at the same time!"
"But without observation, we really can't confirm its true status, right?" Linn raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Boulder before the other party could continue to speak, and spoke again.
"Your idea is good, but this description is not appropriate enough. Well, let's slightly modify the conditions!"
"Change? How to change it?" Boulder looked confused.
"First of all, this cage is not closed enough. We can add magic to isolate perception and detection, and ensure that there is sufficient oxygen inside." Linn knocked on the large iron box in front of him that contained the camel beast.
Boulder's consideration was obviously insufficient. There was limited oxygen in this closed cage, and the poisoned camel beast would probably have suffocated to death!
"The second thing is to put a living thing inside! Think about it, as for what to put..."
"Just think of it as a cat!" A smile appeared on Linn's lips. "Then put a device in the closed box and put poisonous gas in it, the kind that will kill you if you touch it!"
"The condition for activating the poison gas is that the switch of the device is hit by decay particles!"
"We assume that the radioactive elements in the device have a 50% probability of releasing alpha particles every second, and the probability of the particles diverging freely and hitting the switch is also 50%. This is more like a quantum superposition state! "Lin said as he stretched out his hand, a black, fully sealed box made of magic appeared in his palm.
"Now I ask you, is it alive or dead at this moment?"
Linn's voice continued to echo in the large exhibition hall.
All the wizards present looked at the black box in Linn's hand!
Although they all knew that the box was temporarily created and nothing was put in it, Arad and others seemed to see a strange quantum cat in the box!
Elements may decay at every moment, which means that this cat is always on the line between survival and death!
The corner of Boulder's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He thought that the camel beast in his cage was weird enough, but now it pales in comparison to this quantum cat!
"I'm not completely sure whether it's dead or alive, but I know there's a 1/4 chance that the cat will be killed, and as time goes by, it will almost certainly die!" a wizard said eagerly. He retorted.
"Yes, it's possible, it's just possible!" Linn laughed. "I can also tell you that the continuously emitted electrons, after a hundred observations, have a high probability of falling within the area I drew, and as time goes by, this probability will become larger and larger! "
"This is my probability cloud theory!"
The state of the cat inside the box is unknown, and it cannot affect the outside world.
To outside observers, the cat has always been in a state of probability of death. Only the moment the box is opened, the outcome is fixed!
