Survival Paradox [Infinite]

"Because there are still high school students here..." Gao Qiusuo glanced at Li Xiaofei. The girl was wearing a bright red Lolita dress with white hair on her head. Now his eyes seem to be a bit kind, "Then let me briefly popularize the concept——"

Three: "What concept?"

Gao Qiusuo: "Quantum Theory."

Three: "What the hell?"

Gao Qiusuo: "Well, maybe it's not high school students who need popular science concepts—"

"Everyone, let me make one point first - what I said next, there are a lot of 'anti-common sense' content, you may find it absurd, it is because your brain is rejecting this knowledge according to the logic system you have established, I I hope you now imagine yourself as a blank sheet of paper, without knowing anything." Gao Qiusuo said, "Then we started——"

"First, I want to talk about two concepts - 'wave' and 'particle'."

"'Wave'—you imagine...sound waves. I'm speaking now, and each of you can hear it, and it's sound waves."

"'Particles' can be understood as a solid, such as me, I am a particle, standing in this room, in front of you, it is impossible for me to stand behind you at the same time..."

Li Xiaofei shuddered and looked back.

"Cough." Gao Qiusuo added, "Normally not."

He went on to say: "In the real macroscopic world, everything has only one characteristic, either a wave or a particle, without confusion."

After confirming that everyone basically understood, Gao Qiusuo continued: "There are three important experiments in quantum theory."

"They are - electron double-slit interference experiment, quantum erasure experiment, and time-delayed quantum erasure experiment."

"These three experiments conclusively demonstrate the breaking of 'causality'."

"Wait, wait—" Sanjo interrupted, "The 'Law of Karma' is broken? You're jumping too fast!"

Shuoshu said, "Speak briefly."

Gao Qiusuo sighed, and said, "Then I'll try to simplify the concept, to put it simply—"

"The first experiment, the electron double-slit interference experiment: We shoot electrons in front of a baffle with two slits, and each electron passes through one of the slits and ends up in a position, which shows its particle nature .but if the shot is repeated many times, we will find that the final landing point of the electron shows the 'wave' property. And once we block a gap, there is no 'wave' property, it will only fall on a point... ok I know you don't understand very well, so let me put it simply, this is equivalent to - when you look at this electron, it is an electron and a 'particle', but when you don't look at it, it is a 'wave' '."

Santiao was still confused: "What..."

Gao Qiusuo glanced at him and was about to roll his eyes when Li Xiaofei whispered, "I don't quite understand either..."

Gao Qiusuo rolled his eyes halfway, changed the topic, and continued to explain: "That is to say——assuming that I am an 'electronic', you look at me now, and I am still me. You close your eyes, open them again, and see Me, I'm still me. But, while your eyes are closed, I'm a 'wave'."

Three: "How is this possible—you are you!"

"As I said, you must abandon your understanding of the material world. Of course I am me, because I belong to the macrocosm, but the microcosm is different. I was just making an analogy." Gao Qiusuo pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "This is the famous 'Schrödinger's cat' experiment. In fact, not only do you think it is impossible, but the scientists who discovered this phenomenon couldn't believe it. Schrödinger proposed the concept of 'Schrödinger's cat' not to prove anything, but to It satirizes the absurdity of quantum theory-the cat is in the box, you know it is a cat before you go in, and it is also a cat after you come out, but after the box is closed, it is a 'wave' that exists at the same time of life and death."

Sanjo exclaimed: "This is ridiculous!"

"Yes, this is absurd, but as the experiment progresses, we have to overthrow the framework of classical mechanics to re-understand the world." Gao Qiusuo said, "This is the reason why many scientists convert to God."

"Continue." Shuo Shu said, "This is just the first experiment."

"The second experiment, the quantum erasure experiment: the concept of this experiment is more complicated, I would like to put it in the most streamlined way - we introduce a new concept 'quantum entanglement', I will not explain it in detail, in short, the entangled Quantum is a pair of completely opposite particles. Once A is determined, B can be determined at the same time... Let’s put it this way, A and B have two colors of black and white at the same time, but as long as you observe one or two of them, their " Chaos' will collapse into 'particles' of one black and one white. If you observe that A is black, then B must be white, right?"

"Okay, now we launch A and B separately."

"A enters an 'observation box'."

"B enters the 'double slit device' in Experiment [-], but we add a red and green dyeing bucket after the two slits. This color also acts on A, because AB is completely opposite-if B is black, through The red channel will eventually be black and red, and the corresponding A will be white and green; if black B passes through the green slit, it will be black and green, and the corresponding A will be white and red."

"We can know the state of B and which slit B passed through by observing A. Can you understand this?"

"Okay, now we open the 'observation box' and observe A."

"At the same time, we learned about B."

"An astonishing result happened—" Gao Qiusuo pressed his hands on the table, "We only need to open the 'observation box', and the 'wave' of B will disappear, and it will pass through two slits and fall straight into two piles. If not Open, without observing A, B still exhibits the property of 'wave'."

"Note—the 'observation box' has no physical connection with the 'double slit device', we can even put the 'observation box' on the other side of the universe, its only job is to observe which slit B passes through— "

"this means--"

Li Xiaofei seemed to have figured it out, took a deep breath, and covered her mouth.

Sitting next to her, Santiao was startled by her, with white sweat on his back: "What does it mean?"

"Meaning - B knows whether we observed A."

"Just the act of 'observing' can affect the properties of B."

No one spoke this time, and everyone looked at him blankly.

Instead, he was a little uncertain: "...Did I make it clear?"

Shuo Shu, who had already heard it once, but was still shocked when he heard it again, said, "Go ahead."

"Okay, on this basis, we come to the third experiment—the time-delayed quantum erasure experiment."

"It will require more concepts, and I will talk about the simplest version here: we still launch A and B, B still passes through the 'double slit device' with a dye bucket, and A enters the 'observation box'."

"The difference is that before A enters the observation box, we will add a silver light lens, which has a 50% chance to reflect A, and a 50% chance to let A pass through. This kind of lens can be superimposed infinitely without affecting the experiment result."

Li Xiaofei raised her hand, and Gao Qiusuo asked her to ask: "I don't quite understand...why do you need to superimpose? Where did the reflected A go?"

"The superposition is just to make the experiment look more accurate - for example, with only one lens, the probability of A entering the 'observation box' will be [-]/[-]. If an additional lens is added, the probability of A entering the 'observation box' will be [-] times One, if you add another one, it will be one eighth, do you understand that?"

San Tiao was already sitting very close to Li Xiaofei, and completely lost the aggressive arrogance at the beginning, so he raised his hand: "What's the use of this?"

Gao Qiusuo: "That is to say, the results of one quarter or one eighth are completely random and independent of human will. Can this be understood?"

Li Xiaofei didn't get an answer to the question just now, so she asked again: "Where did the reflected A go?"

Gao Qiusuo: "Anywhere - just fly away."

Li Xiaofei half understood: "Oh... well, then?"

"Then, we will find that if A can be observed—that is, A passes through several lenses and enters the 'observation box' completely randomly—then B will collapse into a 'particle'."

"Conversely, if A flies away without entering the 'observation box', B will be a 'wave'."

Santiao has given up thinking: "So, what is the conclusion?"

"Whether we observe A is not our decision, but a complete probability. However, B can predict this result." Gao Qiusuo said, "Oh, I forgot to say that B got the result before A got the result. "

"That is to say—before we decide whether to observe, B has already predicted whether we will observe—as if B predicts the future, and then decides whether to collapse when he passes through the 'double slit'."

Sanjo opened his mouth wide: "But...how is this possible? Why is it like this?"

Gao Qiusuo: "At present in this world, no one knows 'why'."

Sanjo turned to the others: "Do you all think this is okay?"

"It's not a question of whether there is a problem or not." Xu Wei said, "This is the 'phenomenon' observed by human beings, and it is the 'reality' that happened."

Li Xiaofei: "So... this is the shattering of the 'Law of Karma'?"

Sanjo stood up, his hands trembling a little: "Then...then why are we still struggling? Isn't the result preordained?"

"Santiao, calm down." Shuo Shu said, "Sit down."

"Do you want to hear my opinion?" After everyone quieted down, Gao Qiusuo said, "This is what I have always believed in - the explanation can be determined, but I don't deny the way I have established to understand the world. Yari Stott was the most outstanding scientist of his time, but it was also a huge cloud in the history of science in the following 2000 years. After Copernicus, Galileo, until the emergence of classical mechanics represented by Newton, he replaced him. Today, quantum theory appears .”

"The ancients also believed that the phenomenon of 'thunder and lightning' was the anger of God, and today some people say that 'quantum theory' is the ironclad proof of the existence of 'God' - but this is obviously a paradox: if God really exists, then He will be 'omniscient', which means He can 'observe' everything, then the world will only have 'particles' and not 'waves'."

"So I still firmly believe that there is no 'god', only the unknown."

"There must be a ... 'truth' that we can eternally pursue."
