Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"The core is actually what I just said, observe, summarize, revise, observe again, summarize and revise again. It is a method of understanding the world, and no matter what the world is like, as long as it is regular, it can If we understand it, we can use this method to understand it.”

"Idealism does not mean that the world is incomprehensible, it just puts spirit before matter. But scientific methodology does not presuppose any world view. In fact, in the teacher's understanding, science does not care whether the world is materialistic. Still idealistic.”

"Is magic idealistic?"

"Maybe. But is there a pattern to it?"

"Apparently there is."

"We can even prove it logically."

"We can make a hypothesis."

"Suppose that magic is completely idealistic and has no rules at all. Our spirit is completely superior to the material world. This world will be arbitrarily changed because of our magic."

"If the hypothesis is true, then magic is an unlimited wish-making machine."

"But this will create a contradiction. There are so many people who can do magic. Whose wish is this wishing machine going to fulfill?"

"Every wizard's wish must be fulfilled, so what if the wishes conflict?"

“On what basis can we judge the rules for winning a conflict?”

"Without this rule, wishes will conflict and some people's wishes cannot be fulfilled. Magic is not an unlimited wish-making machine, it cannot completely override the material world, and it is not completely spiritual."

"And if there is such a rule, its existence proves that magic is not completely without rules."

"There is only one possibility for a completely idealistic, lawless magical world to exist: there is only one spirit in this world, and we and everything we know are the products of that great spirit."

"But this also leads to a corollary that we are all matter. We, Hermione, Tom, and I, Murphy, we individuals, and everything in the universe are extensions of that great spirit, and we are all matter born from it. . Therefore, we again have to follow the rules it delineates for matter."

"You see, no matter what, this world has comprehensible rules. This rule may not be complete, but it must exist."

"If you think magic is idealistic, then its idealism is only reflected at the very origin. In 99.99% of its apparent area, it still has its own rules of operation."

"And through scientific methodology, we can study the rules in this 99.99% area and adopt them for our own use."

After Murphy finished speaking, he looked at the two children, "Do you understand?"

"I seem to understand a little, but there seems to be a lot I still don't understand..." Hermione said.

Murphy smiled and said, "It's enough to understand a little bit. I will teach you slowly. When you get used to using this methodology to observe the world, you will find how simple and clear it is."

"You will find that it is very simple to judge whether something is the truth. It does not require so many mysterious and mysterious concepts. Observing things, summarizing the rules, and revising the rules are such a simple process for us to understand the world."

"Okay, the topic has gone far, let's get back to the wand."

"You just said that you think the wand is like an antenna." Murphy looked at Hermione, "Then what role do you think it should play for wizards?"

"Amplify...magic?" Hermione guessed.

"Great, can you be more specific?"

"Can a wand enhance or amplify the magic power emitted by a wizard?"

"Very good!" Murphy snapped his fingers, "Then how can we verify this? Can you design an experiment?"

The idea is very simple. Even Tom who is not very familiar with antennas can figure it out. "Let the wizard hold the wand or not hold the wand to test the magic power."

"Great!" Murphy looked at Tom, "Miss Granger's association skills and basic common sense are relatively solid, but your reasoning ability is very good."

"And reasoning ability, or deductive ability, is another very important method in research methods, and can even be said to be the most important."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bracket again, "This thing is what you call an experiment."

"You have mastered the essence of the experiment, which is to control the key variables. And in the conjecture we want to verify, the most critical variable is whether to take the wand or not."

"We conducted two sets of experiments. One group held a wand in hand and recited a spell and cast the spell on the target. The other group did not hold a wand and used the same movements and the same spell to cast the spell on the target."

"Then we looked at the results of two sets of experiments."

"Since the only difference between the two sets of experiments is whether or not a magic wand is taken, we can verify whether our conjecture is correct."

"These magic testers are used to accurately detect magic power."

"Now you understand how to study something? Isn't it very simple?"

"Observe...guess...test..." Tom felt his mind suddenly become enlightened.

It turns out that everything in the world can be so simple.

This seems to be a magic weapon that verifies all truths in the world!

When he can use this method to look at things, those confusing rhetoric and self-contradictory things do not seem so difficult to understand. In this world, it is either black or white, yes or no, and you can continue to Revise your own theory to get closer to the truth, but there is only one criterion for judging whether it is true or not, and that is whether it can be verified experimentally.

A kind of joy after hearing the truth filled Tom's heart. It was not until this moment that he truly believed the words in the note.

I met the person who changed my destiny.

He looked at Murphy, "I understand, teacher."

A teacher preaches, learns karma and resolves doubts.

This truth alone is enough for him to benefit from for a lifetime.

"Very good, come here if you understand." Murphy said, "Hermione, hold the wand, and then use your best spells to cast on the target. After this round, Tom goes Taking the wand away, Hermione used the same gesture and spell again to try to release the few spells."

"Tom, come here. I'll teach you how to use this Muggle camera. Later, when I say start, Hermione will be ready to cast the spell. Tom, you have to press this button the moment she finishes reciting the spell."

"do you understand?"

"Understood, Professor." The two young wizards were convinced by Murphy at this moment. They felt as if they were participating in a great project and were very motivated.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

"Lumos!"

"Open the Alaho hole!"

"Clean up!"

"Quick fix!"

Ten minutes later, Murphy nodded, looked at the sweaty girl, and handed over a handkerchief, "It's incredible, Miss Granger, that you can master so many spells as a first-year student. Moreover, you used to do it." Never had magic before. Remarkable."

Then he looked at Tom who was silent next to him, "Tom, go try it? We do research, and the more high-quality data the better."

Tom was encouraged, "Okay."

"Split into pieces!"

"Confinement quickly!"

"The flames are blazing!"

"Expelliarmus!"

…

Hiss...is this kid competing with Hermione? Come up with full firepower.
