"Don't dictate what the reality of the world should be?"
As Lucian threw his words, Douglas, Fernando, Brooke and others were silent for a short time, indeed, they thought that the reality of the world should not be dice, but it did not mean that it was really not, it was just their own opinion, inferred from various natural phenomena.
After more than ten seconds, Douglas sighed: "I will use experiments to prove that the reality of the world is not a dice, in fact, have you ever thought that the so-called probability cloud does not exist at all, and the wave function only represents a group of electrons that conform to this probability, not a single electron, their own trajectories are not ubiquitous, but have a fixed line, which is closely related to this probability distribution, but we cannot observe and confirm it for the time being, so they are in a chaotic state after passing through a single crystal, until the overall probability appears."
Whether he wants to admit Lucian's probabilistic interpretation and uncertain principle, he reflected on himself, and should not replace the true nature of the world with what he thinks is true, and then refute it from this perspective, but should prove the error from the contradictions of Lucian's theory itself and the results of rigorous experiments, which is a good arcane attitude.
Therefore, he put forward his own opinion based on his impressions after roughly reading the paper.
Lucian also converged the "atomic universe" and replied very seriously: "Your Excellency, regardless of the contradiction between your conjecture and many derivations, as long as we complete the electronic double-slit interference experiment, we can verify whether it is right or wrong."
"If an electron has its own trajectory like a real particle before observation, then it can only pass through one gap at a time and cannot be separated, and whether the interference stripe can appear and the appearance of the final pattern are all related to the distance between the two gaps, so if the electron double-slit interference experiment can really be established, then how does the electron know the distance between the gap it passes through and another gap, so it strictly requires itself to land in a certain area, not another area?"
For the "wave" that can extend in space, it is equivalent to opening the entrance and exit at the same time, naturally knowing that blue is the correct path, and the particle with a fixed trajectory is a "person".
For legendary magicians such as Douglas and Brooke, the double-slit interference experiment was the core area of the previous wave-particle war, and they were not unfamiliar at all, and they had no difficulty understanding Lucian's words, so they nodded one after another, as long as they completed this experiment of electrons, it could fully explain whether electrons were really everywhere before observation, like strange ghosts.
Lucian continued: "In fact, there are many interesting proofs in this experiment, if there is really a double-slit interference fringe, then the moment the electron passes through one of the gaps, we close the other gap, do you say it will still follow the interference path to the sensor screen, or do you immediately 'know' the closure of the other gap, so it changes its state and goes with the diffraction path?"
For Douglas, Fernando, and Hathaway, who are more inclined to particle theory, such thinking experiments push the strangeness of electrons to an even more shocking place, if the electron changes its state, it either means that it is a real wave, without particles, so it passes through two gaps at the same time, or you can only believe Lucian's description, it is a probabilistic wave, permeating space, everywhere, or another more incredible possibility, electrons are intelligent beings, have their own consciousness and abilities, so they can " Sensing and knowing" on the other side, so as to adjust yourself.
Although the latter may be very in line with the situation of the magical world, it contradicts the existence of human beings themselves, and the basis of matter has its own consciousness.
Seeing His Excellency the Speaker and the teacher thinking silently, Lucian nodded slightly and said: "I know that the gap required for electronic double-slit interference is very narrow and small, which cannot be achieved under the current magic experimental conditions, but I also know that many legendary magic applications have come before the theory.
At this time, Oliver looked at Lucian seriously, no longer dandy's polite appearance: "Even if electrons can complete double-slit interference, it does not mean that your probabilistic wave is correct, but it further proves my idea that electrons are real waves, which only show particle nature in the form of wave packets in special states."
Lucian smiled and said: "Oliver, your idea contradicts the results of many current experiments, those chaotic points of light are the best evidence, and your interpretation even in your paper on solving the atomic structure model, there are certain problems, I believe someone has pointed out, the particle nature of electrons cannot be doubted, and the experimental results such as mass, charge, momentum and so on are undoubtedly confirmed."
"Having a problem doesn't mean you can't improve, at least it's more reliable than your probability interpretation, it's like a madman talking in his sleep." Oliver expressed his deep hatred for the probability interpretation, "I will find a way to prove it fallacious!"
After saying that, he turned and left, he needed a quiet environment to think about the loopholes in Lucian's three papers, which could hit the fatal loophole in one blow.
Seeing Oliver leave, Douglas looked at Lucian seriously: "I will try electronic double-slit interference experiments, and I will also design more thinking experiments to demonstrate."
The so-called thinking experiment is an experiment that exists in the imagination, excluding the influence of any environment and other factors, excluding the limitations of experimental conditions, and simply theoretically exploring whether the experiment can be completed under perfect conditions, so as to prove errors or possibilities, which is a common method used by arcanists.
Brooke also nodded slightly: "Everything speaks according to the results of the experiment."
"I believe that many of the current experimental results are in line with your probabilistic interpretation, but I also believe in your explanation, your quantum mechanics is incomplete and ignores many things." Douglas said kindly but firmly, and then left with Brooke and Vicente, leaving only Fernando, Hathaway and a dazed Helen in place.
Fernando's red eyes were still staring at Lucian, and Lucian also looked at him without fear, and after a long time, he waved his hand: "I need to be quiet, I need to think about how to verify that your probability interpretation is wrong."
This is a subversion of the entire arcane and magic system, even if you are as enlightened as him and love your students like him, you have to stand on the side of the truth in your heart, this is the glorious belief accumulated by the Magic Empire to the Magic Council over the years!
Lucian nodded slightly, sighed, and left Fernando's study with Hathaway and Helen.
Hathaway regained her composure and thought for a while: "Probability cloud-like electrons are more difficult to accept than waves, but if all the results point strictly to it, then no matter how difficult it is to accept, we have to accept it.
She also expressed her opposition, but not as fierce and determined as the Great Arcanists such as Douglas of the Astrologer, Brooke and Oliver of the Electromagnetic System.
This is not that she has a better attitude towards arcane, nor that she is more open-minded, but that the areas she specializes in are elements, atoms, microscopic beings, particles, and new alchemy!
Helen came back to her senses from her daze and looked at Lucian in a daze: "In the report you submitted, the situation of the Immortal Corridor is very similar to the expression of the probability cloud, did you get inspiration from here? How can the quantum state of microscopic particles appear in the macroscopic world? This is the secret of immortality? The real secret is not in the Immortal Chamber, but in the Immortal Corridor?"
She was worthy of being half of Douglas's student, and asking why it came from instinct, and without participating in the argument, she was able to rationally remember the Immortal Corridor Report submitted by Lucian.
"It is true that this inspires me, but it is more based on the results of a large number of experiments. As for why the Immortal Corridor causes microscopic strangeities to appear in the macroscopic level, that is a question that needs to be studied, and it may really contain the secret of immortality." When Lucian proposed the probability interpretation, he guessed that others would associate it with this, so he generously "admitted".
With the endorsement of the "Immortal Corridor", Helen showed a thoughtful expression, and Hathaway quietly rubbed her chin.
"I will design experiments to demonstrate the correctness of probabilistic interpretation and the principle of uncertainty." Helen said truthfully, the "Immortal Corridor" is like this, it does not mean that electrons are necessarily like this, maybe it symbolizes other aspects?
However, her tone was also more neutral than that of Brooke, Oliver, Vicente and others.
…………
Since the principle of probability and uncertainty has not yet been strongly proven, Lucian naturally did not need to create an atmosphere of discussion for the arcanists to slowly accept it as before, and directly synthesized the three papers "Quantum Mechanics and New Alchemy Fundamentals" to the Arcane Review Committee.
The papers were undoubtedly forwarded to the commissioners of the elemental field, and Larry, as a new commissioner, saw them in his own home.
"Your Excellency Evans' paper?" Such papers would certainly not be reviewed by students and journal arcanists, and Larry himself looked through them with anticipation.
Looking at it, his expression on his round face with a beard completely froze, just like the most terrifying and amazing monster in front of him, it was about to break free from its shackles and devour the entire arcane system!
"How can this be...... This explanation is ridiculous......" Larry muttered to himself, but he quickly recalled the results of his experiments and frowned a little, "Maybe, this explanation is not impossible, there must be other factors from the micro realm to the macro world that make the probability disappear, at least the world we live in is real, objective, and material."
He really grew up in the wave brought by the new alchemy in the past few years, so he has a heartfelt identification with the new alchemy and the strangeness of microscopic particles, and the influence of past experience and theory is much less on him.
There is a bit of a delay, I'm a little late, I'm sorry PS: Thank you Ms. Fydia for being the leader~ PS2: A friend gave a good opinion before, and it feels better to use "rules" than "forced", so I modified the last sentence of the previous chapter.
