Meet the principal

It took a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: (Dianping Chinese), the fastest updates! No ads!? Sure enough, this half-dead cat appeared.

Reiner was a little emotional, but did not flinch.

On Earth, this thought experiment proposed by Schrödinger has been a sword of judgment over quantum mechanics for a long time, representing an irreconcilable contradiction between logical common sense and mathematical hypotheses.

Because objective laws and facts are not subject to human will, that is, regardless of human observation or not, the life and death of a cat is an established fact and will not change due to observation. However, Schrödinger’s cat shows that in the quantum world Here, the cat's life and death are determined by human observation. While observing this behavior, the cat's life and death are also determined. This is a huge contradiction.

Even derived from this, in order to explain Schrödinger's cat, some scholars have proposed the parallel world theory, that is, the cat is not a superposition of life and death, but two worlds are derived from this. The cat in one world is dead, and the cat in the other world is dead. The cat inside is alive.

However, such an assumption violates the razor principle, that is, many unnecessary assumptions are added to explain a phenomenon. Therefore, it only exists as a possibility and has not been accepted by the public.

And Schrödinger himself also inexplicably got the nickname of a cat abuser amidst all the jealous jokes in later generations.

Reiner had expected that a mage would ask similar questions, but he didn't expect that even in this world, the person who was put into the box was neither a rabbit nor a puppy, but the unlucky cat. No matter in the world, this poor cat can't escape the fate of becoming the focus of debate among scholars.

Turning our attention back to the problem, Mr. Braggs' hypothesis has a very tricky point. According to Reiner's previous explanation, the reason why macroscopic objects do not show quantum effects is because the wavelength of their Ingle waves is relative to their own. The size of the object is too small to cause fluctuations, so Mr. Braggs used an independent quantum system as a switch to affect the state of macroscopic objects through the uncertainty of the quantum system itself, thus extending the microscopic quantum effect to the macroscopic world.

Reiner was first extremely surprised. You must know that before this, none of the mages present had any knowledge about quantum theory. They did not even consider the related issues in depth until they saw Reiner's paper. Only then did they have a qualitative understanding of this theory.

Mr. Braggs, in such a short period of time, has completely digested the theoretical connotation proposed by Reiner, found possible problems and contradictions in it, and proposed a quite mature thought experiment.

Reiner has always believed that legendary mages are knowledgeable. This profoundness is not limited to magic, but lies in understanding. This is the ability to absorb and understand new knowledge, and to summarize. It can be said that even if these legendary mages are allowed to travel through time, In a world without magic, they can quickly learn the knowledge of that world, adapt quickly and make some achievements.

However, Mr. Braggs' hypothesis, this half-dead cat has one biggest flaw.

Reiner thought that he had naturally considered the question about this cat and had his own answer, so he answered.

"Your Excellency Braggs, Excellencies, I have my own explanation for this issue."

He looked directly into Lord Braggs' eyes without any doubt or hesitation.

"For an atom that may decay, this is a microscopic quantum system. Whether it decays or not can be expressed by a wave function, while the life and death of a cat is a macroscopic system. The state of the macroscopic system does not apply to quantum theory. The key contradiction of this hypothesis is that changes in the microscopic system cause changes in the macroscopic system, thus extending the microscopic quantum system to the macroscopic quantum system, and this is why we derive such an incredible conclusion."

Lord Alberton's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table,

A small voice echoed in the quiet conference room. He looked at Reiner and was thinking at the same time in his mind.

"My point of view is that this is actually a microscopic quantum system, not a quantum system that combines macro and micro. From beginning to end, it is the micro particles that produce quantum effects, not that cat, that The life or death of a cat is not determined by the macroscopic system it is in, but by the atoms that may decay. Therefore, in essence, the wave function of a cat’s life and death is the wave function of whether the atom decays.”

Reiner explained that with a wave of his hand, the projection of the imprisoned kitten floating on the table suddenly changed. The kitten disappeared and was replaced by a shining atom.

"We can change the conditions of this experiment, take out the innocent kitten, and put in an atom. The properties of this atom will change due to the particles released by the decay of other atoms. In this system, this problem It’s very intuitive.”

The same structure, except that the original cats were replaced by atoms, the whole system seemed to be quite consistent with Reiner's original hypothesis. It was through this replacement that the mages were suddenly awakened.

The problem with this thought experiment is that it uses the method of transmitting experimental results to demonstrate. If it is established, then it can actually be extended to the entire universe. However, such an argument method is obviously impossible to establish in the experiment.

To explain simply, whether an atom decays is the cause, and the cat's life or death is the result. Decay itself follows quantum theory, and then a result is obtained. This result determines the cat's life and death, and wave function collapse actually exists in the composition of decaying atoms. The microscopic system has nothing to do with the cat in the macroscopic system.

If such an experiment really happens in reality, then it is indeed impossible to determine the cat’s life or death before opening the box. We can even use a wave function to describe the cat’s life and death. However, the cat’s life and death will not change due to observation. This is in line with the objective The principle that laws are not subject to human will.

"I still have a question. According to the quantum hypothesis, even if it is an objectively real object, its existence is determined by probability. It is just because its scale is too large and is not affected by collapse. In addition, Iain Gray is uncertain. Due to the principle of sex, our measurement of particles can only be described by probability, but I think the world should not be so random and disordered."

Lord Calvados said that she focused on the laws of the entire world. The field of astrology she studied did not allow the existence of such thoughts that determine matter with probability.

"Reiner, this world doesn't play dice."

Hearing what the other party said, Reiner smiled slightly and then answered.

"Your Excellency Calvados, please don't tell the world what to do."
