Dozens of great wizards gathered here to conduct a new round of double-slit interference experiments.
Although Lynn 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 completely violates common sense and almost overturns the foundation of the entire magic science!
How can the world be random?
Truth can never be rolling the dice all the time! As for the observer effect, it brings quantum theory to a very strange state. Human consciousness can actually have a decisive influence on quantum phenomena, or in other words, microscopic particles have consciousness and can perceive their observations.
This theory was incredible to many great wizards who studied microscopic theories, so much so that many people suspected that the so-called probability waves and observer effect were concepts fabricated out of thin air by the magic star in order to explain the phenomenon.
Just like before the theory of planets came into being, they all firmly believed that the continent under their feet was flat and that the sun, moon and stars were revolving around the continent.
In fact, this is just taking the appearance as the reality, so 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 improve the double-slit interference experiment.
Among these people are former scholars of the particle school, as well as founders of the wave school like Jeffrey.
Many people had a very unhappy quarrel a few months ago, and almost came to blows on the spot. Now they have put aside their past grudges and united together to jointly determine the authenticity of quantum theory! As for the determination methods, they are also varied, full of brain holes and strange ideas, but in general, they work on the opposition between waves and particles.
The biggest headache for the great wizards is the problem of detecting the paths of microscopic particles. Fortunately, with the gradual opening of the magic network, this problem has been solved to a certain extent.
These great wizards have three opportunities to mobilize the magic network computing power every week, ten minutes each time, fifteen people have four hundred and fifty minutes! They must use it economically, which is why they choose to gather together instead of studying alone.
"Everything is normal in the 27th double-slit interference experiment!"
Jeffrey, who was in charge of the experiment, quickly adjusted the experimental steps. The goal of their experiment this week was very clear, which was to verify whether observation could have an absolute impact on the transformation of wave-particle properties.
Jeffrey's idea was also very simple. Since the electrons were passing through the double slits, why not wait for the electrons to pass through the double slits first, and then investigate what would happen in the second half? Because they did not observe the first half, the electrons should not know that someone was observing them, and they might show a wave form, and thus be caught!
Jeffrey explained his idea while putting on the electron accelerator. The conception and experiments over the past few months had consumed a lot of his energy. He had done many similar experiments before, but due to the problem of observation being too difficult, he had not been able to obtain good results.
And there will definitely be an answer today, Jeffrey is extremely sure of this - he has been waiting for too long. The last time in the City of Kerosene, he witnessed two colleagues being swallowed up by the terrifying energy wave. The fear of quantum phenomena has shrouded his heart like a nightmare.
Jeffrey knew very well that if he didn't solve this problem, he would never dare to step into the formation to be promoted to a legend!
"Everyone, let's begin!" Jeffrey took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and then opened the magic net.
An invisible magical field enveloped the entire 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 started, and one accelerated electron after another flew towards the middle partition at an extremely fast speed.
Jeffrey was concentrating and his mind was 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, it is difficult to detect them even with the reaction speed of a great wizard.
"Particles, it's particles!"
Almost at the moment the accelerator started, a great wizard shouted loudly, and a light appeared behind the partition.
Then another electron was shot out, and this time everyone felt it. 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 obediently passed through the single gap in the form of particles.
This was completely different from what he had imagined.
"Could it be that the distance is too close? How about trying from a farther distance?" 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, interferes with itself, and forms several striped interference spots for exploring the magic field, it is almost attached to the partition, just to capture this moment.
Jeffrey hesitated for a moment, then agreed with this guess and pushed the perception field back five centimeters. The result was the same. Then he gritted his teeth and pushed it back another ten centimeters, only less than one centimeter away from the perception screen.
In this state, they can only vaguely capture the trajectory of the electron, and cannot determine which slit the electron passes through, let alone see how the electron passes through the two slits.
But even after achieving this level, there are still only two clear spots of light projected on the fluorescent screen at the rear, which shows that the electrons are honestly in the form of particles and passing through a crack.
"Why...why does it know that we will set up perception magic in the rear?" Jeffrey muttered to himself, puzzled.
"Perhaps the domain is too large, and the electrons sensed the fluctuations in magic power, so exploration occurred!" Sanchez speculated 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 back into the particle state!"
"How is this possible?" Jeffrey frowned. "If it was still in the form of a probability wave when it passed through the slit, then interference would have occurred, and there would definitely be light spots on the screen that deviated from the area..."
The other great wizards also nodded, so there was only one possibility, that the electron had made its choice the moment it passed through the gap!
Jeffrey was extremely sure but unwilling to believe this guess, so he moved his perception field back another centimeter.
Just as the magic field just left the surface of the perception screen, a number of eye-catching bright spots appeared outside the two light spots, which meant that the path of electron movement was interfered with again.
"Why...why can it know whether we have set up perception magic behind the gap?" Jeffrey muttered to himself, his face looking extremely ugly.
“Is it possible that it saw the sensory field in front through the gap?”
For them, the magical field of perceiving electromagnetic fields may be invisible, but it is possible that to electrons, it is a huge solid wall. So the moment it is emitted by the thermal field electron gun, it sees the perception field in front of it and then changes occur.
This conjecture is undoubtedly a bit outrageous. It not only means that electrons have consciousness and can perceive their perceptions, but also have a certain degree of vision.
"Impossible. Speaker Lin En has already experimented with this. If one simply constructs a magic field without observing it, the electrons will still pass through the two slits at the same time in the form of probability waves, and will show interference fringes in the back. So it can't be a problem with the perception field." A great wizard of the particle school objected.
"So what you mean is that the electron knew in advance that we would observe it? That's why it turned into a particle in advance, is that right?" Sanchez shouted angrily. This judgment is even more outrageous than the electron's ability to perceive! This is not only a serious violation of common sense, but also a violation of the theory of causality!
Either electrons can see the future, or this thing can change the past!
"I've told you long ago that your method won't work, Jeffrey!" Arad said mockingly. In his opinion, such a strange result confirmed that there was a serious problem with the experiment designed by Jeffrey!
"You can, come on!" Jeffrey gave up his position and looked at Arad with a sneer. He wanted to know what the other party could do.
The latest chapter of this novel was first released on 6@9shu#bar. Please go to 69shu#bar to read it!
"My method is actually very simple..." Arad cleared his throat and took out a box more than half a meter high under the gaze of everyone!
"What is this thing?" Sanchez immediately thought of something.
"Do you still remember Professor Lin's quantum cat?" Arad said with a proud smile.
"Are you talking about the conceptual cat between life and death?" Jeffrey's face twitched involuntarily. He certainly would not forget that weird thought experiment.
Although Lin En only proposed this concept and did not actually put it into practice, it is still fresh in his memory.
"That's right. This is the device I modified based on the cage that Speaker Lin used to hold the quantum cat. I specifically asked Speaker Vittorio to solidify a magic inside the device that can monitor the trajectory of electrons passing through it, and its switching is completely random!"
Jeffrey's eyes suddenly brightened, and the dissatisfaction on his face immediately diminished a lot.
Now, let alone electrons, even they themselves don’t know when the instruments that record the paths of electrons will turn on and off.
Sanchez even suggested that they make the path long enough and twisted enough to further affect the electron's judgment ability.
Arad readily accepted the suggestion and started a new round of experiments with full confidence, determined to crack 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 immediately alarmed the parliament.
However, along with the delayed-choice double-slit interference experiment, what also set off a sensation in the wizarding circle was Lynn's recently published theory of relativity.
There are four formulas in it - relative speed formula, relative length formula, relative mass formula, and relative time formula.
And two most core theories.
The first is the principle of relativity, which states that all inertial reference frames are equal, that is, the form of physical laws is the same in any inertial reference frame.
This theory is a bit confusing, but it is not difficult to understand. Lynn mentioned it when he was explaining planetary theory. Any movement is relative, only the reference system is different.
This time we just made some extensions. Any inertial reference frame is equal, and there is no inertial reference frame that is superior to other inertial reference frames.
The second is the law of the constancy of the speed of light - the speed of light propagating in a vacuum in any reference frame is always a constant value! "Ridiculous! How can the speed of light be constant!" The congressman who was studying optics couldn't help but slam the manuscript on the table.
He thought that the quantum probability wave of the magic star was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that the other party would now propose an even more outrageous theory of the constancy of the speed of light.
Just make a simple mental assumption and you will understand. If two people release laser beams back to back, and take one of the laser beams as the reference system, then the speed of the other laser beam must be moving away at twice the speed of light!
This is also consistent with the reference frame theory proposed by Lynn himself.
But according to the law of the constancy of the speed of light, from any perspective, the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second and there will be no change!
And those relative formulas treat the length and mass of objects as changing values. For example, a stick is three centimeters and weighs one kilogram when it is at rest, but if it moves, its length and mass will also change accordingly.
Length will decrease as relative speed increases, mass will increase as speed increases, and even time will slow down as speed increases. All these changes will reach the maximum threshold when reaching the speed of light! "According to this statement, there is nothing certain in the world. Mass and length will change. What is the eternal truth? What is the meaning of the development of magic science?" the congressman roared.
In the laboratory, the other great wizards who had received the manuscript on the theory of relativity were also unable to accept such a strange theory and began to speak out.
"Where is Speaker Lin now? Is he still in the capital?" "I demand that an academic conference be held now!" "It is simply unimaginable that such a thing could have been written by that magic star. This quantum theory of relativity is a product of complete contradictions..."
