In the Royal Capital, Magic Research Institute, Microscopic and Quantum Laboratory.
A dozen great wizards gathered here to conduct a new round of double-slit interference experiments.
Although Linn had conducted a similar experiment at an academic seminar a few months ago, and used indisputable experimental results to prove that quantum has both wave and particle properties.
But this result is really hard to accept. First of all, this so-called probability wave is completely contrary to common sense and almost overturns the foundation of the entire magic!
How could the world be random?
Truth can never roll the dice all the time!
As for the observer effect, it brings quantum theory to a very strange situation. Human consciousness can have a decisive influence on quantum phenomena. In other words, microscopic particles are conscious and can detect their observations.
This theory makes many great wizards who study microscopic theory find it incredible, so much so that many people suspect that the so-called probability waves and the observer effect are concepts fabricated out of thin air by the magic star to explain phenomena.
Just like before the planetary theory came into being, they all firmly believed that the continent under their feet was flat, and that the sun, moon and stars were rotating around the continent.
In fact, this is just taking the appearance as reality, so the quantum theory must be the same!
In order to verify this conjecture and stabilize the foundation of magic that is about to collapse, these fifteen great wizards who have made great achievements in the microscopic field decided to re-improve the double-slit interference experiment.
Among these people are former scholars of the particle sect and founders of the wave sect like Jeffrey.
Many people had a very unpleasant scolding battle a few months ago and almost started a fight on the spot. But now they have put aside their previous differences and joined together to determine the authenticity of quantum theory!
As for the measurement methods, they are also varied and full of imagination and whimsy, but in general they focus on the opposition of waves and particles.
The biggest headache for many great wizards is the problem of detecting the paths of microscopic particles. Fortunately, with the gradual opening of the magic network, this problem has also been solved to a certain extent.
These great wizards have three opportunities to mobilize the computing power of the Magic Network three times a week. Each time is ten minutes, so fifteen people have 450 minutes!
They had to use it sparingly, which is why they chose to get together instead of studying alone.
"The No. 27 double-slit interference experiment has detected that everything is normal!"
Jeffrey, who was responsible for hosting this experiment, quickly adjusted the steps of the experiment. The goal of their experiment this week was very clear, which was to verify whether the observation could have an absolute impact on the transformation of wave-particle properties.
Jeffrey's idea is also very simple. Since the electron happens when it passes through the double slit, why not wait for the electron to pass through the double slit first, and then detect what will happen in the second half?
Because they did not observe the first half, the electron should not know that someone is observing it, and it might show a wave shape and be caught by them!
While explaining his idea, Jeffrey put on the electron accelerator. The ideas and experiments over the past few months took a lot of effort from him. He had done many similar experiments before, but due to the difficulty of observation, Haven't been able to get good results.
And there will definitely be an answer today, and Jeffrey is extremely determined about this - he has been waiting for too long. Last time in the City of Fire Oil, after witnessing two colleagues being swallowed by terrifying energy waves, his fear of quantum phenomena disappeared. It hung over his mind like a nightmare.
Jeffrey knew very well that if this problem was not solved, then he would never dare to step into the formation to be promoted to legend!
"Everyone, let's get started!" Jeffrey took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and then opened the magic network.
The invisible magic field enveloped the whole place, and Arad and others on the side also connected to the magic network and used the function of shared perception.
The electron accelerator was quickly activated, and the accelerated electrons flew toward the middle partition at extremely fast speeds.
Jeffrey was fully focused and tense to the extreme, and the other great wizards did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.
Because the accelerated electrons fly very fast, even with the reaction speed of a great wizard, it is difficult to detect them.
"Particles are particles!"
Almost at the moment the accelerator was started, a great wizard shouted loudly, and a light spot lit up behind the partition.
Then another "element" of electrons was ejected. This time everyone felt it, and the disturbance of the electromagnetic field was extremely obvious!
"This shouldn't be right!" Jeffrey frowned immediately. He waited for more than a minute and fired hundreds of electrons. As a result, these electrons all passed through a single gap in the form of particles. .
This was completely different from what he had imagined.
"Is it too close? How about moving farther away and trying it?" Sanchez said thoughtfully.
In order to better capture how a single particle appears in multiple locations at the same time in the form of a probability wave, interfering with itself to form several striped interference spots, which are used to explore the magic field and are almost attached to the partition. Just capture this moment.
Jeffrey hesitated for a moment, then accepted this guess, and pushed back the perception field by five centimeters. The result was still the same. Then he gritted his teeth and pushed back ten centimeters again, only less than one centimeter away from the perception screen.
In this state, they could only slightly capture the trajectory of the electrons, and could not tell which gap the other party passed through, let alone how the electrons passed through the two gaps.
But even after reaching this level, there are still only two clear light spots reflected on the fluorescent screen at the rear, which shows that the electrons are honestly in the form of particles and have passed through a crack.
"Why...why does it know that we have set up perception magic behind us?" Jeffrey muttered to himself, puzzled.
"Perhaps the scope of the field is too large, and the electronics sensed the fluctuations of magic power, so exploration took place!" Sanchez guessed again. "It is also possible that the particles passed through the gap in the form of probability waves before, but after entering the domain, they collapsed into the particle state again!"
"How is this possible?" Jeffrey said with a frown. "If it is still in the form of a probability wave when it passes through the gap, then interference has already occurred, and there will definitely be light spots that deviate from the area on the fluorescent screen..."
The other great wizards also nodded, so there is only one possibility. The electron has already made a choice the moment it passes through the gap!
Jeffrey was extremely sure but unwilling to believe this guess, so he moved the perception field back one centimeter again.
At the moment when the magic field had just left the surface of the sensing screen, eye-catching bright spots appeared outside the landing points of the two light spots, which meant that the path of electron movement was interfered with again.
This discovery shocked Jeffrey and others, and they felt a chill rising from their backs. The electron actually realized at this moment that its path would not be sensed, and then re-transformed from a determined particle. For probability waves…
"Why...why can it know whether we have set up perception magic behind the gap?" Jeffrey muttered to himself, his face extremely ugly.
"Is it possible that it saw the perception field in front through the gap?"
For them, the magic field that perceives electromagnetic fields may not be visible, but it may be that in the eyes of electrons, it is a huge solid wall, so the moment it is fired by the thermal field electron gun, it can see the front The field of perception immediately changed.
This speculation is undoubtedly somewhat outrageous. It not only means that electrons are conscious and aware of their perceptions, but also have some degree of vision.
"It's impossible. Speaker Lin En has already experimented with this. If you simply build a magic field without choosing observation, the electrons will still pass through two gaps at the same time in the form of probability waves, showing interference fringes at the rear. So it can't be a problem in the field of perception." A great wizard of the particle sect objected.
"Then you mean that the electron predicted in advance that we would observe it? That's why it transformed into a particle state in advance, is that right?" Sanchez yelled rather irritably. This judgment is more accurate than the electron's ability to perceive. Outrageous!
This not only seriously violates common sense, but even violates the theory of cause and effect!
Either electrons can see the future, or this thing can change the past!
"I told you a long time ago that your method won't work, Jeffrey!" Allard said mockingly. In his opinion, such a strange result would appear, which confirmed that there was a serious problem with the experiment designed by Jeffrey!
"You can, come here!" Jeffrey gave up his position and looked at Arad with a sneer. He wanted to know what tricks the other party could do.
"My method is actually very simple..." Arad cleared his throat and took out a box over half a meter high under the gaze of everyone!
"What is this thing?" Sanchez immediately thought of something.
"Do you still remember Professor Linn's quantum cat?" Arad said with a proud smile.
"Are you talking about the conceptual cat between life and death?" Jeffrey's face couldn't help but twitch. Of course, he would not forget that weird thought experiment.
Although Lin En only proposed this concept and did not actually put it into practice, it was still fresh in his memory.
"That's right, this is the device I modified based on the cage where Speaker Lynn kept the quantum cat. I specifically asked Speaker Vittorio to solidify a magic that can monitor the trajectories of electrons inside the device, and its switch It’s completely random!”
Jeffrey suddenly felt his eyes light up, and the dissatisfaction on his face immediately diminished a lot.
Now let alone electrons, even they themselves don't know when the instrument that records the path of electrons will be turned on and off.
Sanchez even proposed that they make the path long enough and twisted enough to further affect the electron's ability to judge.
Arad readily accepted this suggestion and started a new round of experiments with confidence, which is bound to reveal the secret of the trajectory of microscopic particles!
Half an hour later, the experiment was undoubtedly a complete success!
Nine of the fifteen great wizards present went crazy!
Such a big experimental accident naturally alarmed the parliament immediately.
However, along with this delayed selection double-slit interference experiment, what also detonated the wizarding circle was the theory of relativity that Linn had just published.
There are four formulas in it - relative speed formula, relative length formula, relative mass formula, and relative time formula.
And the two most core theories.
The first is the principle of relativity. All inertial reference systems are equal, that is, the form of physical laws is the same in any inertial reference system.
This theory is a bit brain-burning, but it is not incomprehensible. When Lin En explained the planet theory, he mentioned that any movement is relative, but the reference system is different.
This time we just made some extensions. All inertial reference systems are equal, and there is no inertial reference system that is superior to other inertial reference systems.
The second is the law of constant speed of light - the vacuum propagation speed of light in any reference system is always a constant value!
"Absurd! How can the speed of light be constant!" The congressman who was studying optics couldn't help but slap the manuscript on the table.
He originally thought that the magic star's quantum probability wave was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that the other party actually proposed an even more outrageous theory about the constant speed of light.
Just make a simple mental assumption and you will know that if two people release laser beams back to back, and one laser beam is used as the reference frame, then the speed of the other laser must be moving away at twice the speed of light!
This is also consistent with Linn’s own reference system theory.
But according to the law of constant speed of light, from any perspective, the speed of light is still 300,000 kilometers per second, and there will be no change!
And those relative formulas regard the length and mass of an object as changing values. For example, a stick is three centimeters and weighs one kilogram in a static state, but if it moves, the length and mass will also change. changes happened.
The length will decrease as the relative speed increases, the mass will increase as the speed increases, and even time will slow down as the speed increases. All these changes will increase to the maximum threshold when reaching the speed of light. !
"According to this statement, there is nothing that can be determined in the whole world. The quality and length will change, so what else is the eternal truth? What is the significance of the development of magic?" The councilman roared. said.
In the research room, the other great wizards who had received the manuscript on the theory of relativity could not accept such a strange theory, and they all started talking.
"Where is Speaker Lin En now? Is he still in the capital?" "I request an academic conference to be held now!" "It is simply unimaginable that such a thing could be written by that magic star. This quantum relativity theory is completely They are the product of mutual contradictions..."
