Paintings of Terror

This question of Ke Xun suddenly made everyone confused. Using scientific theories to explain a supernatural event seemed a bit wrong. However, this question cannot be pondered because it is extremely scary to think carefully.

If supernatural powers really exist in this world, does all scientific research still have meaning? Is it true that, as those scientists once worried, if everything in the universe is really random events, or unpredictable events, or events beyond the scope of natural laws, science becomes completely useless knowledge?

Those who thought of this couldn’t help but shiver. Deng Lin gritted his teeth and said, “No, even though I can’t explain everything I see before my eyes, I still believe in science. Unexplainable phenomena don’t mean just Beyond the scope of nature, it is probably just because our knowledge is still too little, our existing knowledge is really small compared to the entire universe, so it will be considered as something beyond our knowledge. Supernatural phenomena, but I think all phenomena are natural phenomena!"

Zhu Haowen nodded and said: "Your view is similar to Einstein's view in a certain sense. The fundamental problem of the two schools of physics just mentioned is here.

"The orthodox school, that is, the school that supports randomness, believes that the physical quantities in the microcosm are inherently random and cannot be accurately predicted. All measured results are only probabilistic results. The orthodoxists believe that we are The quantum state of the particles cannot be accurately predicted, how can we predict the macroscopic material world?

"For example, there are many things in the world that cannot be accurately predicted, such as the result of lottery lottery, such as the size and speed of wind, tomorrow's weather, and the next roll of the dice.

"But Einstein believed that these things are not really random, but because our knowledge is now limited, we don't have correspondingly more knowledge to predict these things.

"For example, lottery lottery, as long as we know the force of each point of the lottery ball and the flow velocity distribution of the surrounding air, we can predict the result of the lottery ball. For another example, if we can master the movement of each air molecule, You can accurately determine the future weather.①

"The reason why these phenomena seem to be random now is because we do not have the knowledge to master them and there is not enough data to support them. Therefore, in Einstein's eyes, there is no real randomness in the world, so-called randomness. It’s just a manifestation of people’s lack of knowledge leading to insufficient cognition."

"So you mean," Shao Ling looked at Zhu Haowen, "All of what we have experienced is not necessarily a supernatural force, but another scientific phenomenon that exists in this world, but humans do not yet Master it, and discover the knowledge related to it?"

"I don't think so," Zhu Haowen said lightly, "The mechanical determinism represented by Einstein was derived from fatalism by some people. Fatalists believe that since Einstein said that all phenomena in the universe are like machines , There are certain laws and trajectories. The last moment determines the next moment. Doesn’t it mean that the fate of all of us has long been doomed, and everything is proceeding in accordance with the pre-set procedures , And our life and death have long been doomed, so now no matter how hard we try, the **** thing will still die? And I am not a fatalist, I do not believe in fate."

"In fact, Einstein did not completely deny the randomness of quantum phenomena," Mu Yiran said. "He just believed that the random phenomena in the microscopic world could not represent the essence of the entire universe. He should try to establish new theories to explain these randomness."

"Brothers," Luo Ge raised his hand, "I still don't understand why we talked about quantum, phenomena and mechanics from rolling dice? You remind me of the fear of being dominated by physics teachers in high school."

"I think the program mentions'God does not roll the dice' this sentence is not meaningless madness, he must have intentions." Zhu Haowen said, "After all, in the history of physics, Einstein Soon after saying this famous sentence, the famous "Schrodinger's cat" theory was born. You must know that Schrödinger’s cat was raised by Schrödinger, who was a member of the classic school with Einstein. The painting is named after this, and I think there is an inevitable connection between the two."

"I don't understand the significance of this experiment," Deng Lin frowned. "Cats are both alive and dead. This situation is impossible in the real world."

Speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Qi Muhuan and Dong Yao. At this moment, the two of them were still fainting on the ground, their faces lost their mouths, and they looked extraordinarily weird. When he said "both dead and alive" At that time, the half-dead state of these two people made people feel even more creepy.

Deng Lin couldn't help but shudder, then quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Ci, who seemed to have the best temper among the old members.

Qin Ci looked at Zhu Haowen: "Let Haowen explain this question. My science was not very good when I was in school."

"This is the meaning," Zhu Haowen continued Deng Lin's question just now, "Light has wave-particle duality, you always know this."

"So what?" Deng Lin asked.

"Light has always been regarded as the smallest matter. It is an electromagnetic wave and has particle characteristics." Zhu Haowen said, "The'Matter Wave Hypothesis' believes that wave-particle duality is not only a photon, all microscopic particles, Both have wave-particle duality.

"And all matter in the macroscopic world, including humans, is composed of a large number of microscopic particles, so when calculated this way, it is equivalent to the wave-particle duality between humans and cats.

"Then the problem is here. The orthodoxists believe that quantum phenomena are random and uncertain. Without measuring it, it is impossible to determine its position, mass, and speed. At this time, all possible states of it are entangled. , Can also be understood as'superposition state'.

"Schrödinger of the classical school therefore proposed the cat experiment. Since the cat is also composed of a large number of microscopic particles, it also has wave-particle duality and the so-called randomness and uncertainty of the orthodox school.

"Keep the cat in a box containing poisonous gas. Before opening the box, it is equivalent to not measuring it. According to orthodoxy, the state of the cat is now'entangled', that is The so-called superposition state of life and death can only be determined by opening the box, that is to say, by measuring it.

"However, as you said, in the real world, even if a cat is kept in a box, it cannot be a superposition of life and death. This state cannot exist. Schrödinger uses this example to mock the orthodox so-called The uncertainty of the quantum phenomenon."

"Then what does this cat have to do with dice?" the shawl-haired girl asked.

"Maybe you can find the signature if you find the relationship between them." Zhu Haowen said.

"Does it represent the randomness of destiny to use dice to determine the way to test us?" Ke Xun asked.

"So I think that the program is on the side of the orthodox school." It was Mu Yiran who took the conversation. "Ke Xun and I learned from our neighbors, relatives and friends in the program that we had a strong interest in physics when we were in school. This interest also affects the style and ideology of his paintings. The reason why he is believed to be on the side of the orthodox is because he uses the randomness of the dice to determine the way to test us, and the name of the painting is named " "Schrodinger's Cat", I am afraid it also has another profound meaning. I think it is closely related to finding his son, as far as I know..."

When Mu Yiran just said this, he was suddenly interrupted by a warning sound. Everyone hurriedly looked at the big screen on the wall, and saw a line of huge bold letters flashing: [please roll the dice, countdown 60 seconds 】

Everyone was startled, Wei Dong grabbed his hair: "This is starting again? How long did we rest? Is the time for each round of dice throwing also random?"

Ke Xun suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly went to check Dong Yao and Qi Muhuan, only to find that these two people had lost their breath for some time and became two corpses.

Ke Xun took out his mobile phone from his pocket to check the time and saw that the number was displayed at nine o'clock in the morning.

"The time is wrong," Ke Xun said. "The time inside is passing faster than outside. I feel that we only spent two or three hours analyzing the clues just now, and the time on the phone obviously follows the time in the picture. Yes, an afternoon and a whole night have passed in the painting."

"It's too late to think about the reason. There are only 10 seconds left." Shao Ling said, "We must--"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Fei had already passed two steps and reached out and clicked on the dice icon.

The dice spun quickly and stopped slowly after a long while. What was displayed in front of everyone was a 4 o'clock.

Everyone increased their vigilance and stared at the big screen in front of them, seeing the dice icon disappear and new writing appeared:

[Dad, are all theorems and laws necessarily correct? 】

[At least, in the scientific system built by human cognition, the cognition defined as theorems is correct. 】

[In other words, if one day human beings make a new discovery, and this new discovery overturns the previous theorem, then the previous theorem is wrong? 】

[Yes, it’s not just a theorem, but there are also many situations. For example, when my father was young, people always thought that there were nine planets in the solar system. However, in 2006, Pluto, one of the nine planets, was removed from it and redefined as "Dwarf planet". The reason is that astronomers in country M have always misestimated the mass of Pluto. Its mass is lower than that of the moon. In its orbit, some celestial bodies are larger than it. It is obviously not among the nine planets. Appropriate. This is a typical example of using new knowledge to overthrow old knowledge. 】

[So, Dad, I personally think that what the school should teach us is how to question and discover what is known and unknown in this world, instead of teaching us unconditionally believe in things similar to the definition of "M country astronomers". They are likely to be overthrown like the nine planets one day.

Since it is not certain that everything that happens in this world will always and completely operate in accordance with theorems and rules, rote memorization cannot be questioned, and use it as an exam to determine the pros and cons of students and their future life. What is there? The meaning?

I think the purpose of learning should not be to use an exam to determine our life direction and define our wisdom level, but to let us learn how to deal with things, so that we can be sober, objective, speculative, thorough and full of imagination. The way to think about life and create life. 】

After the dialogue between this program and his son disappeared, new text was replaced:
