Meet the principal

Act 496. Baltic explanation

A genius can remember the address of this website in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? Reiner's words made the older woman raise her eyebrows. She wanted to refute, but Lord Calvados thought about it carefully. I think, although Reiner's words are a bit direct, it is indeed the truth.

No one has the power to direct how the world operates. So far, people have only summarized the discovered laws into laws, but cannot create or even change the laws.

Although Mr. Calvados refuses to admit that the foundation of the world is probabilistic and uncertain, perhaps the essence of the world is exactly like this.

As a legendary mage, Lord Calvados naturally knows that the fundamental reason why mages can continue to move forward is doubt. Mages doubt everything they see, dare to question, and are good at using known means to verify their own beliefs. Ideas, this is the source of progress for mages.

If a mage gives up exploring and begins to firmly believe in everything he has seen and his current achievements, then he is not far from his demise.

Therefore, after Reiner's response, no mage stood up to have a meaningless argument with Reiner. They were all thinking, thinking about what they had just seen and heard, thinking about what seemed unbelievable but somewhat bizarre. The theory of truth.

The experimental phenomenon currently before the Master is the double-slit interference of electrons. All current theories cannot explain why a single electron will form a diffraction distribution after passing through the double slits and falling on the receiving screen. However, Reiner's theory If it explains this phenomenon relatively perfectly, then from the perspective of correctness, quantum theory can be accepted.

Even from the perspective of quantum theory, the entire world is based on probability, but according to Reiner's explanation, quantum effects will only occur in microscopic situations, so they will not have much impact on macroscopic theory.

However, after accepting quantum theory, the mages seem to have a new understanding of objective reality and the nature of the world.

This world is the product of probability and does not exist for sure. In other words, at the moment when the world was formed, if there was even a slight error, the whole world might be different. And the mages tried their best to explore The rules summarized are nothing more than accidental products of probability.

“To accept quantum theory, we must also accept the destruction of causal determinism.”

Lord Alberton reminded.

"In the past, we thought that the trajectories of particles could be traced. In the theory of relativity, the concept of world lines was proposed, which is the trajectory of all the particles that make up an object according to time. Using this trajectory and the properties of the particles themselves, we can Extrapolate what might happen in the future.”

He glanced at Reiner, because world lines and the theory of relativity were also theories proposed by Reiner.

From the perspective of time and space of the theory of relativity, events can be predicted. In fact, mages have always been pursuing this kind of predictability. As long as the initial conditions are the same, even if it is repeated thousands of times, the result will be the same. Such a rule , called truth by the mages.

But in the microscopic world, the position and momentum of particles are both uncertain values. The movement of particles after being disturbed is a probability function. Even if the initial conditions are exactly the same, even if there are slight differences in the progress of the event, the result will be Huge difference, the whole incident is like a chaotic cloud. No one knows whether what is brewing in it is a rainbow that shines on the world, or a lightning that destroys all things.

If quantum theory is established, then at least at the level of microscopic particles, the theory of causal determination that the mages have always adhered to will be challenged, and the world will go from being explorable and masterable to returning to the unknowable category.

What's more, this is not simply a matter of shrouding the world in a layer of fog, but a complete message to people that the nature of this world is unknowable.

If it weren't for the glorious scene shown in the memories from the last era, I am afraid that when the vast majority of high-level mages heard the news,

Everyone will feel bleak about the future and feel exhausted mentally and physically.

"But now, we have encountered the uncertainty principle, which is like chaos. We can no longer accurately infer the development of events based on existing laws, nor can we completely separate the cause and effect of events. Some trivial disturbances can cause This may lead to a completely different development of events.”

Lord Alberton continued.

"Who knows whether a butterfly flapping its wings in the Baltic demiplane will cause a storm in the main plane?"

Although his example is exaggerated, it is exactly the picture presented by quantum theory.

Everyone was silent.

They are scholars at the forefront of academic research, and their exploration of the world exceeds that of ordinary people. It is for this reason that they are amazed by quantum theory.

Things that we never dared to think about in the past are hidden deep in the microscopic world. If the time expansion and length shortening shown by the theory of relativity are also unimaginable, then quantum theory has refreshed people's world view.

"Anyone who is not surprised when they see quantum theory shows that they don't understand the theory at all."

Mr. Braggs said slowly.

His words were agreed by everyone present. Quantum theory is indeed a theory that subverts cognition. More importantly, this is not just conjecture, but is supported by experiments.

However, Reiner did not speak.

Throughout the entire process of deriving quantum mechanics, until now, Reiner has not received feedback from the world, but in his perception, the sea of ​​magic is not motionless, but is gradually surging, ready to go.

This means that there is nothing wrong with Reiner's derivation process, but the electron double-slit interference experiment alone is not enough to prove quantum mechanics.

Reiner needs more experiments to refine.

But for the current needs of the mages, which is to understand the situation inside the big hole, Reiner's quantum theory is obviously enough.

"Now that everyone has basically accepted this theory, let me explain the nature of the tidal phenomenon in which the magic concentration in the large void in the Baltic demiplane suddenly rises and then falls quickly."

He said, pulling everyone's thoughts from the magnificent and strange quantum world back to this deep and unpredictable big hole.

"I think that the concentration of magic power in the big hole is extremely high, but these magic powers are not physical entities, but turned into quanta and superimposed wave functions. When detected from the outside through conventional means, the wave function It did not collapse, causing the detector to show that the concentration was normal. However, when the detector actually entered it and made observations, it would disturb the entire large cavity and cause it to collapse into an abnormal concentration situation. However, since the macroscopic quantum effect is not significant, this The disturbance lasts only a moment."
