I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 539 Everything is changing, except the speed of light!

   At noon, in the Wizarding Council, Harov frowned when he received the report of [Delayed Selection, Photoelectric Double-slit Interference Experiment], and then shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I don't think Jeffrey Mo is joking. They even said in the experimental report that photons and electrons can predict the future, predict in advance whether they will observe, and make a choice when passing through the double slit, deciding whether to use particles or probability waves. form through single or multiple slits..."

  This is a bit too funny.

   It is as outrageous as Lynn's assumption that the speed of light is constant in his theory of relativity.

   "I don't think he meant to be joking..." Vittorio explained in a deep voice with a serious expression on his face. "According to the information I received, nine of the fifteen great wizards who participated in this experiment went crazy on the spot!"

  The smile on Harov's face immediately froze, his eyes fixed on Vittorio, and it took him a while to confirm that the other party didn't mean to tease him.

   Even Aurora and Anthony, who were looking at the theory of relativity, were stunned. Although there are not a few wizards who have gone crazy due to the study of microscopic phenomena recently, nine at a time is too exaggerated.

"Have you reproduced their delayed choice experiment? Is it true that photons and electrons can predict whether the observation will happen in advance, or even reverse the cause and effect?" Harov said in amazement, this is really true. It's too amazing to be true.

"There is no reprint, but when I was treating those great wizards, I checked their memories. If this memory has not been modified in advance, then what is said in the report should be true, and the microscopic particles may be true. It has the ability to predict in advance." Vittorio's frown never loosened.

  Because he saw dozens of improved double-slit interference experiments from those memories, Jeffrey and others almost tried all the methods they could think of for verification, and the results they got were surprisingly consistent.

Allard even thought of a very ingenious method to record the entire experiment process and decide whether to observe it after completion. However, the electrons and photons used for the test can still respond in advance, and the probability wave collapse occurs. It can only be described as horror.

   Vittorio shook his head, and then reported a piece of good news. "I have deleted the relevant memories of these nine people, and now they are receiving mental treatment. There should be no danger to their lives, but they have lost the ability to use light and thunder magic."

   "That's good!" Aurora immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The entire council now only has a hundred or so great wizards. The loss of nine people at once is absolutely unacceptable.

Harov was still thinking about the predictive nature of photons and electrons. He was about to continue discussing this topic with Vittorio when he received a report from his attendants. There was a commotion in front of Speaker Eun's mansion.

   "We'd better go and have a look!" Vittorio suggested. If anyone can answer this question, it's probably only Lynn who proposed the theory of relativity.

  …

   At the same time, a large group of wizards are arguing with each other in front of a luxurious manor. There are discussions about the four formulas and two basic definitions of the theory of relativity, and there are also questions about the delayed choice experiment.

"I've already said that according to experiments, photons and electrons can accurately predict the future, and I even doubt that it can detect it..." At this point, Jeffrey showed a look of horror on his face, with a hint of fear. Said tremblingly. "They can read our thoughts and memories!"

   Arad on the side also said with a crazy face. "Yes, wherever photons and electrons exist, they must communicate with each other. Only in this way can they explain why they can accurately know our observation plan every time."

  The wizards present all had weird faces. Why is this getting more and more outrageous? Isn’t that the quantum ghost?

   "You don't want to say that there really are so-called quantum ghosts, do you? And don't tell me that all microscopic elements are ghosts?" The great wizard named Sturger looked at Jerry and the others and said with a sneer. "I remember that Chairman Lynn explained this issue long ago, microscopic particles have no consciousness at all..."

"I am more reluctant than anyone else to believe that this is the truth, but we have thought of more than 130 methods, and tried all the experiments that can be done within the scope of our ability, and that is the truth!" Arad Cursed extremely violently. "Elemental Ghost, this **** can not only read our memories, but also predict the future!"

   Sanchez also helped out, explaining in detail the progress and results of each experiment they had done.

   Originally just watching a joke, the great wizards who thought this conclusion was extremely ridiculous, their expressions gradually changed from ridicule to solemnity and then to contemplation. In the end, many people had the idea of ​​​​immediately conducting experiments in their hearts.

   If Sanchez and others are not lying, it is amazing!

"Maybe there really are quantum ghosts. Although Speaker Lynn is a magic star, no one is absolutely right. Don't forget that the star-like elemental model proposed by Speaker Lynn before has been proven wrong, even if It sounds very reasonable!" Sanchez said with a sigh.

   Sturger, who had ridiculed Jeffrey before, was silent for a while, and then nodded.

"That's right, the development of magic and the perfection of the theory cannot be achieved overnight, and it must not be fully affirmed because of the authority of the proposer, just like the assumption that the speed of light is constant mentioned by Speaker Lynn in the theory of relativity, I think that is fundamentally wrong. Illogical, and can think of over a thousand ways to refute it!"

  The wizards present also nodded. They gathered here today to ask the magic star this question.

   However, at the moment Sturger's voice fell, another voice sounded from the manor.

   "Oh, really? I don't know what are the methods? I'd like to hear it!"

   Sturger's confident face changed instantly, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the manor.

  The person who came was naturally Lynn, followed by a three-meter-high behemoth. It was Muto who stood in front of the gate just now, blocking everyone out.

  The great wizards present all came here to refute the theory of relativity, but when they actually saw Lynn, they felt a little withdrawn and began to wonder if there was something wrong with their theory.

  In the past, there were not a few people who thought they had found the theoretical flaws and could refute this magic star and become famous.

  After all, everyone knows that Chairman Lynn has no scruples in discussing magic, and even said bluntly on many occasions that anyone is welcome to use rigorous theory and exquisite experimental results to prove his theory is wrong!

   It's just that no one has succeeded so far, but countless people have been beaten in the face.

Even if it is the only star-like element orbital model that has been proven to be wrong, Lynn has found out a more appropriate quantum probability cloud theory by himself—in fact, so far, many wizards firmly believe that the star-like element orbital model is the Truth, because that's just too perfect.

  Although there are many considerations in my heart, after all, I have come, and it is not easy to go back, so Sturger bit the bullet and said. "Speaker Lynn, I have a lot of doubts about your latest book, The Theory of Relativity, which I want to ask you to answer!"

   "Since we are discussing academic issues, let's come in and talk about it!" Lynn didn't mean to embarrass Stig. Before publishing the theory of relativity, he had already expected that it would inevitably cause an uproar in the academic world.

   After all, various phenomena in the microscopic field are indeed somewhat difficult to understand from a macroscopic point of view.

  Steger breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped into the manor together with Jeffrey, Sanchez and others.

  Lin En led everyone to the optics laboratory. Steger looked around the room. There were many unnamed magic instruments, which looked very delicate.

   "If you have any questions, just talk here. It's better to ask one by one. Why don't you start with the principle of relativity!" Lynn said straightforwardly.

  The wizards present looked at each other, and then Sturger spoke first. "I saw that you said in your paper that all inertial reference frames are equal, and no one is more special than the other. So now I am running towards you, which can also be interpreted as you are running towards me, is that right? ?”

  The reference system of the principle of relativity, equal rights, was the first question that puzzled him.

   "No, before I understand this concept, I need to explain what an inertial frame of reference is!" Lynn said shaking his head. "It means that an object remains relatively static or moves at a constant speed along a specific route. It will continue to move at its current speed without being changed by an external force."

   "For example, everyone who is standing still can be used as an inertial reference system inside this planet." At this point, Lynn took out a silver coin and threw it out quickly. "If you use me as the frame of reference, you can say that this silver coin is moving forward at a speed of fifty meters per second!"

   "Does this have any meaning? Whether it is from the perspective of the inertial reference system or not, isn't its speed and direction the same?" A great wizard said in surprise.

   "No, if there is no frame of reference, then we can say that the speed of this silver coin is 30 kilometers per second!" Lynn shrugged and said with a smile.

  Steger and the others were taken aback for a moment, then looked at the silver coin nailed to the wall, frowning and thinking.

  A great wizard who has studied astronomy quickly reacted. "This is the speed of the eternal star around the sun!"

  Because they are inside the eternal star, if the sun is used as the reference system, they are moving around the sun at a speed of 30 kilometers per second.

   "But, this doesn't seem to be right?" Steger said in a deep voice. "That's the eternal star moving, and the speed of this silver coin is still fifty meters per second."

   Lynn asked back. "Suppose you are sitting on a high-speed train and you don't move yourself, but the people outside the station seem to be moving away from them at high speed."

  Steger choked suddenly and was unable to speak for a long time.

  Lin En continued to explain. "Without an inertial frame of reference, it is meaningless to distinguish up, down, left, right, east, west, north and south. For example, inside the Eternal Star, for people in the northern hemisphere, north is up, but for people in the southern hemisphere, south is above!"

   "The reason why we can clearly distinguish the direction now is because the gravitational force is pulling us to fall on the ground. With the center of the earth as the bottom, other directions will naturally be distinguished!"

  In a few words, Lin En explained clearly the necessity of the existence of the inertial frame of reference and why the reference frame has equal rights. All the people present were great wizards, so it was not difficult to understand.

  However, the second problem is derived from it.

   "Speaker Lynn, I already understand what you mean, but please forgive me, your theory of the constant speed of light seems to conflict with the concept of equal rights in the reference system." Steger said again.

   "Assuming we release laser magic inside the eternal star, shouldn't the speed of light be the speed of revolution plus the speed of light in the eyes of the star?"

  Steger’s example is the same as the silver coin that Lynn threw out, and it is precisely with Lynn’s own words as a rebuttal.

  Lin En naturally couldn't be refuted by this little question, and smiled calmly. "How do you think the wave travels? What factors affect its speed?"

  Seeing that Lynn suddenly changed the subject, Sturger couldn't help but frowned, but he still answered. "The transmission of waves naturally depends on the medium, as for the speed of its propagation..."

   "The propagation speed of mechanical waves only depends on the medium and is not affected by other factors!" Lynn explained. "For example, sound is a mechanical wave!"

"It travels at a speed of 340 meters per second under normal temperature and atmospheric pressure. Its speed will not become faster just because you shout while running! An example is when using thunder magic, the sound It will even arrive after the lightning, because it travels much slower than the lightning and is not affected by external forces."

   "So no matter what state you are in, as long as the medium does not change, any orientation and angle in the inertial reference system will be obtained by measuring the mechanical wave with an instrument. It must be a definite and constant value!"

  Jerif felt his eyes light up, and said excitedly. "Light is also a kind of wave, a relatively special electromagnetic wave, which also has certain wave characteristics, so measuring its speed is actually measuring its propagation speed in a certain medium!"

  Lin En nodded with a smile. After understanding this, half of the mystery of the constant speed of light has been understood, although the remaining half is the most difficult to understand!
