Two days later, Parker and Steven also left. This time, Qin Jingyu was the only one left in the laboratory. She was already sorting out various documents about Boltzmann's brain experiment.

Dolly and Professor Murphy gave each other mutual laboratory access, and she can now enter and exit Professor Dolly's laboratory at will.

She went over with a thick stack of documents, and Carter was well prepared. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems like we both have the same idea."

Qin Jingyu: "It's better to have something than nothing."

Carter: "I've seen all of these. Do you want to see them?"

Qin Jingyu: "You can take a look. Maybe what I have compiled is not perfect."

"Well, let's exchange." Carter said, "I have been sorting out these documents for almost half a year, and the content is quite rich."

She has no objection.

"You weren't in school in August?"

Carter asked suddenly out of the blue.

Qin Jingyu raised his eyes: "Why do you ask?"

"Aren't you going to Country K to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony?"

Carter asked in surprise.

How many people want to participate in the Nobel Prize, which represents the highest honor, but none of them are eligible.

Who could have expected that Qin Jingyu would win the Fields Medal in his first year? Everyone said that he was still some distance away from the Nobel Prize in other aspects, but he was nominated this year.

Carter's words that he didn't admire or envy others were all lies.

"Before I came to Purdue, the team had been managed by Dr. Tang Qing'an, including the application for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, who was in charge. He was the leader of the team, and with him around, I didn't have to show up in person."

The implication is that she will not attend the Nobel Prize ceremony.

"I can't believe it?" Carter said. "You really chose not to go."

"It's not like there won't be opportunities in the future." She said with a curl of her lips.

Carter was stunned, "What?"

Qin Jingyu said jokingly: "Didn't Professor Dolly tell you that if we crack the Boltzmann brain, we will get a ticket to the Nobel Prize."

Carter had three black lines on his forehead. "He only told me that if I want to carry out this project, I must be prepared to never graduate in this lifetime."

In Professor Dolly's eyes, if they touch on this topic, it would be like a moth flying into a flame, courting their own destruction.

Qin Jingyu: "Uh..."

It's not impossible.

For the Boltzmann brain experiment, Carter and Qin Jingyu made full preparation for the literature before starting to work on this topic.

Carter said: "Qin, you know, ever since I came into contact with the Boltzmann brain, I have often doubted what is true and what is false."

Qin Jingyu said calmly: "What is 'truth'? How do you define 'truth'? If you think that truth is what you can see, feel, smell, and taste, then this so-called 'truth' is nothing more than the electronic signals that your brain responds to."

Carter laughed: "I know this quote, it's from The Matrix, right?"

Qin Jingyu pretended to be very regretful and said: "You have exposed it."

She thought for a moment and said, "Illusion and reality have always been a battleground for philosophy and theology, but when physics gets involved, everything seems to be organized."

Carter: “I’m wondering if I should go for a minor in theology and philosophy.”

Qin Jingyu was stunned and looked at the girl in front of him, as if to say, No way, don't do that.

If Qin Jingyu were to minor in theology and philosophy now, he would never be able to graduate.

Carter looked at the frightened look on his face and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, I was just kidding you, you took it seriously."

Qin Jingyu shrugged: "For a second or two, I really took it seriously."

Thinking of something, she looked at Carter's bright smile and said, "You know, you look very beautiful when you smile."

The boy's tone was sincere, and his praise was pure, without any distractions.

Carter was stunned for a moment, and looked away uncomfortably: "Huh, of course I know I'm beautiful, you're not the first person to praise me like this."

Qin Jingyu: "It seems it's too late."

Carter curled his lips quietly.

"But I'm curious, did you agree to do this project with me just because you're interested in it?"

She felt that the word "interest" could not be used as an excuse for Qin Jingyu.

"Of course not, because the hypothetical concept of the Boltzmann brain also gives me some truths that I want to find."

In physics, there is a law of increasing entropy, that is, in a relatively closed system, the entropy value may increase rather than decrease, and the direction of time passage is the direction of increasing entropy.

After Qin Jingyu's understanding over the past few months, she discovered that the law of increasing entropy does not only exist in physics, but exists everywhere in our daily lives.

Just like the birth, aging, illness and death of human beings, this is also a process of increasing entropy. Animals, plants, including microorganisms, all life exists with a high degree of low entropy.

Although human existence is very insignificant compared to the vast universe, the probability of human appearance in the universe is also very low.

If there is something with the lowest entropy in the world, it is most likely the human brain.

Because the universe is so huge and has existed for so long, it is entirely possible that a brain with self-awareness like humans will appear during the long evolution. Scientists and physicists call this brain a Boltzmann brain.

How many Boltzmann brains will appear in the universe? People have no way of knowing, but theoretically, the number is very large. However, Boltzmann brains will not exist indefinitely. They will also die, so most Boltzmann brains will disappear after they are produced, and only a small number of Boltzmann brains will continue to live.

And the probability of the emergence of human self-consciousness is a very small accidental event in the universe, and from a scientific point of view, the conscious body, or "ghost", is in a low-entropy state.

She really wanted to know whether the fact that she, clearly from another world, appeared in this world, apart from the 886 system, and that she possessed all their memories in another body of her own, was also related to this.
