Paintings of Terror

Ke Xun said his thoughts to Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen, and even though he closed his eyes, he could feel that these two men were suddenly silent for a while.

"You know," Zhu Haowen finally spoke first, with a strange tone in his tone. "In order to satirize the orthodoxy's'uncertainty theory', Schrödinger proposed the'Schrödinger's cat' theory. At that time, the orthodoxy was indeed blocked. Not light, because they really can't explain the superposition of life and death of cats.

"This problem has become a problem that countless physicists want to solve. Until a physicist named Everett appeared, he put forward the hypothesis of multiverse, which is what we usually call parallel worlds.

"Still using the electron double slit experiment as an example, when a single electron is emitted, how does it pass through the two slits at the same time? Multicosmology believes that when the electron passes through the double slit, two superimposed worlds appear. In one of these worlds, electrons pass through the slit on the left, and in the other world, electrons pass through the slit on the right.

"In this way, the wave function does not need to be collapsed, to randomly choose whether to pass through the left or the right, because there are multiple universes. In the world where people in universe A are, electrons pass through the slit on the left, while in universe B, people observe The arriving electrons pass through the slit on the right.

"Then, this theory can be used to explain Schrödinger’s cats. According to Everett, the two cats that live and die in the box exist in the real world, but they are in two Parallel and different worlds, so they show a superposition state.

"Using this to explain the suicide behavior of the program, it is very easy to understand. The program regards himself as Schrödinger’s cat. When he was alive, he lost his son, so he put himself in a superposition state. A parallel universe came into being. The dead him was in this universe, while the living he went to another universe to find his son who lived in another universe."

"Wait," Ke Xun said, "The program died in the way of Schrodinger's cat, but his son didn't. He jumped directly from the stairs. How does it stack up?"

"The reason is the same," Zhu Haowen said. "Change Schrödinger's cat into an adult, replace the hammer with a gun, and commit suicide with a gun. Since the bullet is composed of a bunch of particles with wave function properties, there will always be A very, very small possibility, all particles collapsed to a certain possibility-that is, they all bypassed the person's head, allowing the person to survive safely and without damage.

"——Although the possibility of this situation is very slim, due to the existence of the multi-universe theory, every universe exhibits one of the superposition states, so in the billions of parallel universes, there will always be such a universe to show It is a state where all the particles that make up the bullet have bypassed the human head.

"The same is true for other suicide methods. Whether it is jumping off a building, cutting the veins, taking poison, getting an electric shock, or hanging himself, there will always be some parallel universes who are still alive. There will always be a universe where the suicide will never die. .

"This situation is called'quantum immortality.'

"What the program wants to find is his son who lives in the quantum eternal universe."

Ke Xun was stunned for a moment, and said, "So, if you can find the program or his son to find the signature, does this mean...we also have to commit suicide?"

Zhu Haowen was also stunned when he heard the words, he hadn't even begun to think about this, but Ke Xun's mind had already been transferred here.

"No, we don't have to commit suicide," Mu Yiran, who had been listening to the two talking silently, said at this time. "Even if parallel universes exist in the real world, the program has already died and is alive in the universe where we live. He is already in another universe. And even if we learn from him to split a parallel universe by death, we who are alive will go to another universe just like him. In the universe where we are now, we die Now, looking for signatures will be meaningless."

"Yes," Ke Xun patted his forehead. "I was shocked by everything I learned today. I can't help but regard the real world as the world in the painting. So, do you think,' The malice of painting has become more and more serious. In the painting "The Scarlet Beast", it tempts us to regard the world in the painting as the real world. In this painting, it actually tempts us to regard the real world as a painting. In the middle world, let us begin to question and despair of the real world. If the Scarlet Beast only makes us want to stay in the painting, by the time this painting comes, we have already lost our belief in living!"

"You made me shudder." Wei Dong's voice came from the side.

"As you said," Shao Ling's voice followed, "The brilliance of this painting is that the things it uses to'induce' us are all scientific theories and hypotheses that actually exist in the real world. It's like, a person deceives you by using all the truthful truth, then ask whether this kind of scam is a scam or the truth?"

"Brother Shao, don't say anything. If you ask, how do I think this is the truth?" Luo Ge said in shock.

"Let you figure out the clues, have you figured it out and blended them along?" Ke Xun asked.

"I was thinking about it, I was attracted by these things you said." Wei Dongdao, "Since the big brother means that we can't die, but the program father and son are not in the same universe as us, how can this be done? Find the signature?"

"Actually, I have some thoughts on the issue of consciousness that Ke Xun just said." Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun. He closed his eyes and couldn't see. For some reason, it was distressing, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand. Holding his hand, he immediately received his enthusiastic response as always, but his hand was clenched tightly by his fingers crossed.

"Since the formula believes that consciousness determines matter," Mu Yiran continued, "Then his body has died as a matter, and his consciousness? Does it still exist in this world, but we cannot see him? Since consciousness determines matter , Can we get the signature by finding his consciousness?"

"It feels more difficult than finding his body," Luo Wei said, "At least the body is tangible and qualitative. How to find something invisible, colorless and quality like consciousness? Is it possible to achieve it? It's in the air. Floating randomly? Where is the floating? When the wind blows, it blows two miles away?"

"Speaking of the relationship between consciousness and matter," Shao Ling said, "Materialism believes that matter determines or derives consciousness, while idealism believes that consciousness determines or derives matter. Both of these statements are called monism in philosophy. '. However, there is also a'dualism', that is, matter and consciousness have no deterministic or derivative relationship, and the two exist side by side.

"Even in the physics world, there are some fans of this argument," Zhu Haowen continued Shao Ling's words. "Some people think that the human body and consciousness belong to different dimensions. The body is a three-dimensional creature that exists in four-dimensional space, and consciousness exists in Multi-dimensional space, in a sense, they both exist side by side, which makes sense."

"What is the four-dimensional space?" Wu You's voice came.

It sounds like her mood is quite calm now.

"The four dimensions in physics, in simple terms, refer to length, quantity, temperature, and time." Zhu Haowen said, "The physical body exists in the four-dimensional space and is limited by time. It can only advance and develop according to the timeline, but cannot be Jump freely between the past, present and future.

"However, consciousness is not limited by time. It can go to a certain period in the past in an instant, or it can switch back and forth between cause and effect.

"To use the simplest analogy, we want to go from point A to point B, the body can only move from A to B over time, but our consciousness can imagine in a moment that we have reached point B, even You can instantly imagine all the appearance of point B, but the body cannot restrain the consciousness from flying to point B.

"So it is not unfounded to say that the two exist side by side."

"In other words, since all the foundational assumptions in this painting can be true, then we can use this law to make it true, and then leave the consciousness of the program in this universe," Ke Xun said. "As long as you find his consciousness, you can find the signature!"

"Isn't the problem here now," Wei Dong said, "The key is that this consciousness is invisible and intangible. How to find it?"

Ke Xun stretched out a finger: "My dear, don't we have a law book and an item box? What if consciousness can also be used as an item?"

When the voice fell, Ke Xun heard the shock of several people.

"This idea is very imaginative," Qin Ci said, "I think we can try."

"I'm here." Zhu Haowen was speaking, and he quickly opened the book of rules on his interface.

"The dualism of matter and consciousness."

[Resources are being used, please try again later. 】

"What do you mean?" Wei Dong asked hurriedly.

Mu Yiran thought for a moment: "Perhaps because the dice controlled by Kexun has not stopped, it is equivalent to a document being opened and used on the computer. If you click to open the document again, it will be displayed locked or write-protected. Or only read-only operations are allowed. It is impossible for an open document to appear on the first page for editing and at the same time to modify on the fourth page."

"But can we not use these functions at the same time when we are in different levels?" Luo Wei asked.

"At that time, the'document' became a network shared document. We can modify it at the same time on different networks." Mu Yiran said, "The most intuitive example is the Q news document function of our chat software. Now we are They are in the same room, which is equivalent to sharing a computer and the document resources in it."

"So this means that I have to stop this dice, release the resources it takes up, and then other people can use it?" Ke Xun said, "No wonder the process of rolling the dice takes turns, and you can't roll it together."

"But if Ke Xun stops the dice, it means that he has already rolled the points and started another round of entry procedures. The second person will only have a 60-second interval. We have to be in this 60-second time. Use the rules and props to find the consciousness of the program. If not, the second person will continue to roll the dice," Zhu Haowen said, "and if we all roll the dice and still fail to find the consciousness of the program, we must You have to enter the level again and go through the level again to be able to come back here again and continue the awareness of the rules and props searching program."

"No need!" Deng Lin said suddenly, "Didn't the person surnamed Mu just say that after entering the level, we can all use the rules and props at the same time. Then we will try to find the program together in the level. Is it all right?"

"Then if one group of people finds the consciousness of the program and gets a signature as a result, what about the others?" Wei Dong asked him.

Deng Lin opened his mouth, but was still speechless in the end.
