Act 495. Baltic Conference (Part 2)

Sure enough, it still appeared, this half-lifeless cat.

Reiner sighed a little, but did not retreat.

On Earth, this thought experiment proposed by Schrödinger has become a sword of judgment for a long time, which represents an irreconcilable contradiction between common sense of logic and mathematical hypothesis.

Because objective laws and facts are not transferred by human will, that is, regardless of whether human observation or not, the life and death of a cat is a certain fact and will not change due to observation. However, Schrödinger's cat shows that in the quantum world, the life and death of a cat is determined by human observation. While observing this behavior, the life and death of a cat is also determined, which is a huge contradiction.

Even derived from this, in order to explain Schrödinger's cat, some scholars have proposed the theory of parallel worlds, that is, cats are not superimposed by life and death, but have derived two worlds, one of which is dead, and the other is alive.

However, such assumptions violate the razor principle, which means that many unnecessary assumptions are added to explain a phenomenon. Therefore, they exist only as a possibility and are not accepted by the public.

Schrödinger himself inexplicably got the nickname of a cat abuser in various hilarious jokes in later generations.

Reiner originally expected that a mage would raise similar questions, but he didn't expect that even in this world, the one who was put in the box was not a rabbit or a puppy, or an unlucky cat, it seemed that no matter which world it was in, this poor cat could not escape the fate that became the focus of debate among scholars.

Turning your sight back to the problem, Your Excellency Braggs assumes that there is a very tricky point. According to Reiner's previous explanation, the reason why macroscopic objects do not show quantum effects is because the wavelength of their Ian Grey wave is too small relative to their own size and cannot cause fluctuations. Then Your Excellency Braggs uses an independent quantum system as a switch to affect the state of macroscopic objects through the uncertainty of the quantum system itself, thus expanding the microscopic quantum effect to the macroscopic world.

First of all, Reiner was extremely surprised. You should know that before this, all the mages here had not been exposed to any knowledge about quantum theory, and they had not even considered the relevant issues in depth. It was not until they saw Reiner's paper that they had a qualitative understanding of this theory.

And Mr. Pragues had completely digested the theoretical connotation proposed by Reiner in such a short time, and found the possible problems and contradictions, and proposed a fairly mature thought experiment.

Reiner has always believed that legendary wizards are knowledgeable, and this kind of wizard is not limited to magic, but more about understanding. This is the ability to absorb and understand new knowledge and summarize new knowledge. It can be said that even if these legendary wizards travel to a world without magic, they can quickly learn the knowledge of that world, quickly adapt and achieve something.

However, the hypothesis of Lord Pragues, this half-life cat has one of the biggest flaws.

Reiner thought that he had naturally considered the question about this cat and had his own answer, so he answered.

"His Excellency Pragues, everyone, I have my own explanation for this issue."

He looked straight into the eyes of His Excellency Pragues without any doubt or hesitation.

"For an atom that may decay, this is a microscopic quantum system. Whether it decays can be expressed by a wave function, while the life and death of a cat is a macroscopic system. The state of the macroscopic system does not apply to quantum theory. The key contradiction to this assumption is that the changes in the microscopic system cause changes in the macroscopic system, thus extending the microscopic quantum system to the macroscopic quantum system, which leads to such an incredible conclusion."

The fingers of the Excellency Alberton hit the table rhythmically, and the subtle sound echoed in the quiet conference room. He looked at Reiner, thinking at the same time.

"My point of view is that this is actually a microscopic quantum system, not a quantum system that combines macroscopic and microscopic. From beginning to end, the quantum effect is microscopic particles, not the cat. The life and death of the cat is not determined by the macroscopic system where it is located, but by the atoms that may decay. Therefore, in essence, the wave function of the cat's life and death is the wave function of whether the atom decays."

Reiner explained that with a wave of his hand, the projection of the imprisoned kitten floating on the table suddenly changed. The kitten disappeared, and replaced by a flashing atom.

"We can change the conditions of this experiment, take out the innocent kitten, and put it in an atom. This atom will change its properties due to the decay of other atoms. In this system, this problem is very intuitive."

The same architecture only replaces the original cat with an atom, and the entire system looks quite harmonious with Reiner's initial assumption. It is precisely through this replacement that the mages suddenly wake up.

The problem with this thought experiment is that it uses the method of passing on experimental results to argue. If it is true, it can actually be expanded to the entire universe. Such an argumentation method is obviously impossible to be true in experiments.

To put it simply, whether the atom decays is the cause, and the life and death of a cat is the result. Whether the decay is itself based on quantum theory, and then a result is obtained. This result determines the life and death of a cat. The collapse of the wave function actually exists in a microscopic system composed of decayed atoms and has nothing to do with the cat in the macroscopic system.

If such an experiment really happens in reality, then before opening the box, it is true that the cat's life and death cannot be determined. A wave function can even be used to describe the cat's life and death, but the cat's life and death will not change due to observation, which conforms to the principle that objective laws do not transfer by human will.

"I still have a problem. According to the quantum assumption, even if an objective real object exists or not, it is determined by probability. However, simply because its scale is too large and not affected by collapse, coupled with the Ian Grey uncertainty principle, our measurement of particles can only be described by probability, but I think this world should not be so random and disorderly."

His Excellency Calvados said that her eyes were placed on the laws of the whole world, and the astrological field she studied did not allow such a probability to determine the existence of matter ideas.

"Renner, this world doesn't roll dice."

Hearing the other party's words, Reiner smiled slightly and then replied.

"His Excellency Calvados, please do not command the world how to do it."
