But after all, there are quite a few people who still remember the purpose of coming to surround this magic star!
That is to save the magic foundation that has been reduced to a few pieces under the impact of quantum theory...
Arad knew very well that if they could not defeat Lin today, the wave-particle duality and the elemental probability cloud model would be recognized by the parliament in the future and become the most mainstream magical theory!
The magic tower that was built with order and rules will also collapse!
Thinking of this, Arad turned around and gestured to Boulder beside him.
Now it's his turn!
The great wizard named Boulder nodded, then clapped his hands, and several apprentices carried out a huge, fully enclosed cage.
"This is a gift I prepared for you, Speaker Lynn!" Boulder said, pointing at the cage.
Lin En took a look at it and was somewhat curious about its huge size.
"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 it with a smile.
Inside this cage, he released a delayed lethal toxin, causing a healthy camel to usually faint and die within six to ten hours.
"And now seven hours have passed. It is possible that it is dead or alive. So we can say that it is in a superposition state of both dead and alive, right?" Boulder said proudly.
The wizards present all laughed.
Of course this is impossible!
Even without observing them, they knew that the camel in the cage could only be in one of two states: dead or alive!
It has to be said that Boulder's metaphor of the opposition between life and death 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.
Arad and other great wizards all turned to look at Lin En, extremely curious about how this magic star would answer this sharp question.
The smug expression on Boulder's face gradually faded, and he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. He began to wonder whether the "gift" he had given would offend the new Speaker too much.
Although he had heard that the Magic Star was always open-minded in debates on magic, it was ultimately just a rumor.
Boulder somewhat doubted whether he had been too credulous in the instigation of Jeffrey and others.
Under everyone's attention, Lynn suddenly raised his hand and reached out to Boulder.
Just when the great wizards were wondering whether the Magic Star was angry and embarrassed, they saw him just pat Boulder on the shoulder and then spoke with appreciation.
"Huh? Ah?!" Boulder paused, almost wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Arad and the others were also stunned where they were, totally unable to understand why the Magic Star would praise Boulder for getting the camel beast out of the cage.
This is clearly used to ridicule his wave-particle duality and probability theory.
However, Lin En didn't care about this. He looked 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 explain some of the quantum properties..."
"But the state of this camel beast can only be dead or alive, not a superposition of these two states!" A great wizard couldn't help but interrupt. "Whether it is observed 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 state, right?" Lin En raised his eyebrows, and then without waiting for the other party to continue speaking, he looked at Boulder and spoke again.
"Your idea is good, but this description is not appropriate enough. How about this, why don't we modify the conditions a little bit!"
"Change? How?" 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 enough oxygen inside." Lin En knocked on the large iron box in front of him where the camel was placed.
Boulder's considerations were obviously insufficient. The oxygen in this closed cage was limited, and the poisoned camel beast would have suffocated to death by now! "The second thing is to put a living creature in it! As for what to put..."
"Just treat it as a cat!" Lin En smiled. "Then put a device in the sealed box, and put poisonous gas in it, the kind that will kill anyone who touches it!"
"And the condition for activating the poison gas is that the switch of the device is hit by decay particles!"
"Let's assume that the radioactive elements in the device have a 50% chance of releasing alpha particles every second, and the probability of the particles freely diverging and hitting the switch is also 50%. This is more like a quantum superposition state!" Lynn said as he stretched out his hand, and a black, fully sealed box made of magic power appeared in his palm.
"Now I ask you, is it alive or dead at this moment?"
Lynn's voice echoed throughout the large exhibition hall.
All the wizards present looked at the black box in Lin's hand! Although they all knew that this box was created temporarily and nothing was put in it, Arad and others seemed to see a quantum cat with a strange shape in the box! Every moment the elements may decay, which means that this cat is always on the boundary between life and death! Boulder's mouth twitched. He thought that his caged camel beast was already weird enough, but now compared with this quantum cat, it is nothing!
"I can't be completely sure whether it is dead or alive, but I know there is a one-fourth chance that the cat will be killed, and as time goes by, it will almost certainly die!" A wizard retorted anxiously.
"Yes, it's possible, just possible!" Lin En laughed. "I can also tell you that the electrons that are continuously emitted have a high probability of falling into the area I drew after a hundred observations, and this probability will increase over time!"
“This is my probability cloud theory!”
The state of the cat inside the box is unknown, and it cannot affect the outside world.
To an outside observer, the cat is always in a state of probable death. Only when the box is opened, the result is fixed! (End of this chapter)
