Act 494. Baltic Conference (middle)

Augustine's questions made Reiner laugh.

It’s not because he wanted to mock the other party or something, but because Reiner was a little emotional that no matter which world he was in, the same problem would actually arise.

Seeing Reiner's strange expression, Augustine was a little gloomy and continued to ask.

"Planets like the moon are composed of rocks, and rocks are composed of elemental compounds. These elements are essentially microscopic particles. If the quantum effect really exists, then these microscopic particles should also be in a probability distribution state. In other words, if a certain situation occurs and everyone has not observed the moon, the microscopic particles that make up the moon will turn back into the probability cloud. The next time I look at it, the moon may fall apart. Can I understand this way?"

Augustine's theory made several mages present fall into deep thought. Although Reiner said that since some theories only hold at macroscopic low speeds, it is natural that there are certain theories only hold at microscopic high speeds, and quantum theory is obviously only observed in the microscopic field.

But Augustine's statement made people notice one thing, that is, macroscopic objects are composed of microscopic particles, so why does the microscopic effect not affect the macroscopic world? If there is really a dividing line between microscopic and macroscopic, what exactly is this?

In fact, after thinking, many people also found that the dividing line between the macro and the micro is not clear, and people cannot distinguish whether something belongs to the macro or the micro. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish the criteria mentioned by Reiner.

"For systems composed of single microscopic particles, quantum effects exist, but for macroscopic systems like the moon, quantum effects do not exist, at least in our current observations."

Leonard paused and continued.

"I believe you have noticed that my description of the probability cloud is a wave function. It is precisely because the particles show considerable fluctuations that lead to the emergence of various strange phenomena. Therefore, if we really want to find a simple way to distinguish them, I think it should be the problem we are studying and the Ian Grey wave size of the corresponding object. Simply put, it is the category of whether the object shows obvious fluctuations."

Seeing that some mages had not yet reacted, Reiner explained.

"For example, we want to study the operation process of a planet. The size of the Ian Grey wave corresponding to this planet is extremely small, so it will naturally not show volatility. But if we study an electron passing through double slits, then the size of the Ian Grey wave corresponding to the double slits is close to the electron and the electron displays volatility, so the quantum effect needs to be taken into account."

He stood up and simply outlined some calculation formulas in the air.

"If you use mathematical explanation of Your Excellency Augustine's question, we assume that the probability of a particle appearing here is x, following its wave function probability distribution, then for a macroscopic object, it contains almost infinite particles, and the probability of this macroscopic object appearing here is the product of positive infinite and x. Of course, this is not an actual quantum process. What I want to explain is that even if the moon exists in the sky, its probability is infinitely close to 1. Therefore, the quantum effect of a macroscopic object can be regarded as non-existent."

After hearing Reiner's explanation, Augustine reluctantly accepted it. He closed his eyes and signaled Reiner to continue.

"Please wait a moment, Reiner."

At this time, Lord Pragues suddenly spoke, making everyone's nerves tense again.

"I have another question. If we design a magic array that contains a quantum system, such as an atom that may decay, this system will show two possibilities. One is atom decay, releasing a particle, and the other is non-decay, not releasing particles."

Lord Pragues said, and with his fingers moved, a box made of light appeared on the table in front of him.

"If the quantum system releases particles, then the particle will trigger a poisonous gas device, making the box full of poisonous gas. In the box, there is a kitten. If the poisonous gas spreads, it will die."

In the box made of light, a mimic kitten appeared, licking his claws lively, innocent and innocent.

"The problem is that the quantum system may release a particle to kill the kitten, or it may not. The kitten is safe and sound. If we make an observation, the wave function of the quantum system composed of atoms that may decay will collapse due to the observation behavior. The kitten will either die or live, but the question is, what if we don't make an observation?"

The words of the Lord Pragues did not cause any trouble at first, but soon, the Lord Alberton was suddenly shocked, his face became solemn, and he said immediately.

"If observation is not made, then whether the atom decays is only a probability representation, and the life and death of a cat is a probability. According to the assumption of quantum theory, the cat should be in the superposition of life and death at this moment. Once the observation is made, the wave function of the quantum system will collapse immediately, and the life and death of a cat is determined the moment the box is opened!"

"How is this possible!!"

Regens immediately stood up because it was completely contrary to logical thinking, like throwing a coin. Although it was also a probability event, people knew that the landing coins could only be one of the front or the reverse, which was decided when they landed.

But at this moment, the cat of Your Excellency Pragues showed people such a situation. As long as the box is closed, the cat will be in a quantum superposition state and in a superposition state of life and death. But once the box is opened, the cat's life and death will be instantly determined as the wave function collapses!

The assumption of Your Excellency Pragues is extremely cunning, because Reiner said that the quantum effect only exists in the microscopic range, and the life and death of a cat is obviously a macroscopic event. Your Excellency Pragues's cat combines the microscopic quantum system with the life and death of a macroscopic cat. It can be said that it is an advanced version of whether the moon exists due to observations that Augustine just mentioned.

In this assumption, Mr. Braggs skillfully transmitted the quantum effects of the microscopic system to the macroscopic system, causing quantum effects to appear in the macroscopic system.

If you accept quantum theory, you must accept this half-life cat. If you do not accept the cat's life and death superposition, it will be equivalent to not admitting quantum theory.

At the same time, the macro quantum effect shown by this cat is also a huge question of Reiner's many explanations.

After understanding the thought experiments of Lord Pragues, everyone subconsciously looked at Lenner.
