Vol 9 Chapter 134: Notorious
The sound of Viken's laughter was undisguised. The two cardinals outside the study looked at each other, wondering why the live broadcast of the Magic Council made the Pope ’s smile so exaggerated. After Douglas became a godlike, his head suddenly broke down. Now, the surrender of the church was announced publicly in the live broadcast?
Other than such things, they really did not expect that the live broadcast of the Magic Council could make the Pope happy under the crown, not angry.
Of course, they also know that this is absolutely impossible.
After a few laughs, Viken returned to calm and converged, after all, this was an experiment done by Douglas, and he couldn't be 100% convinced, what if he deliberately deceived himself? Still wait for yourself to repeat a few times and confirm the truth before considering the next plan.
The design of this experiment is not complicated. The difficulty lies in the subtle control and production. This is not too complicated for Pope Viken, who is also a god-like, has a deep alchemy foundation, and has long paid attention to and learned arcane art. , The biggest difference between him and the Great Arcanist is not in the ability to operate, but in the way of thinking cultivated by the arcane system, so he cannot design such an experiment and can only rely on the research progress of Douglas, Lucien, and others .
…………
On the square, as Douglas repeated the experiment, a "This Impossible" sounded one after another. Ordinary people who have listened to the "Sound of Mystery" and watched "Sky TV" for a long time have been more or less popularized the most obvious arcane Common sense and logical foundations, how can this "results in turn determine the process" not to surprise them, and this is completely contrary to their experience and their instincts of being intelligent creatures!
But with the experimental results confirmed time and time again. They gradually calmed their fears. After all, magic is also beyond their imagination, and they are equally incredible, so now the "law of cause and effect" is destroyed without completely subverting their three views. Anyway, their three views are already under magic anyway. Ruined.
"Magic is amazing!" Said an elderly gentleman excitedly. "It can prolong life, slow down aging, and reverse the past!"
One of them happened to be passing by, so the magician who watched the live broadcast in this square glanced at him with a grievance. Can these three be side by side?
The magician's head was swollen. Eyes congested. I only feel that my understanding of the world, my life, and my values have all been subverted. The world becomes unreal. Life becomes illusory. The value has become illusory, anyway, the current decision will change the past!
Previously, magicians had such ideas. The past is unchanged, the future is uncertain, and now, even the past will change?
His ears were buzzing, and there seemed to be a thunderous thunder, and he turned his head left and right to make sure he was not in a dream.
Another old man wearing a soft hat said with excitement, "Yeah, magic is so amazing. I heard that advanced magicians can extend their lives for hundreds of thousands of years, and still maintain youthful vitality!"
Their attention to this aspect seems to be stronger than the almost nightmare experimental results of "changing the past now."
Many bards and playwrights around were calm and frightened, and their expressions were excited and distorted. In this way, the results of the "magic" experiment gave them inspiration and they couldn't wait to weave a wonderful and shocking story. For those killed by the "strong observer", all traces of his past will be erased and replaced by other characters or things. Therefore, no one remembers him, and no one knows that there was such a character in the world ...
The more they wanted to get more excited, some simply squatted down and took out the "simple fountain pen" or "pen" that they carried with them, recording their own inspiration.
It is foreseeable that in the future, the weirdness and speciality of the microcosm will feed a batch of playwrights and bards.
Compared with their "simple and happy", the students in the general school and the noble school are much more painful. The experiments personally performed by His Excellency Speaker and Evans overthrew their most basic common sense and violated their most basic logic. They are holding their heads and have a headache. On the one hand, they are the normal world, the knowledge they usually learn, and on the other hand, the incredible world shown by the experiment just now. Both are like angels and devil, fighting fiercely in their heads.
At this moment, they realized what it means to be painful and what is called the Three Views Subversion. For the first time in their lives, they regret why they have learned so much arcane knowledge!
Why, why should I come to see the experiments that His Excellency participated in?
Is this your own death?
Ali thought dementedly: "Are I now real? Is every thought changing my past self?"
"No, no, there must be another explanation. There is no, there is no mathematical basis to describe ..." Langman tried to calm himself, but could not stop muttering in his mouth.
Compared to their "pain and perplexity", magic apprentices and arcanists are deadly quiet, and even the sound of breathing is gone, which makes bystanders worry that they will burst their heads with a bang.
In the live room, Douglas repeated the experiment and got the same result, but instead of stopping, he continued mechanically, without any expression on his face.
It wasn't until Lucien coughed a few times that he sighed and suspended the experiment. He said to all "audiences" solemnly: "I think the most basic point of view of the Arcanist is to respect the experiment, the phenomenon, and everything They are subject to mathematics. "
His statement was equivalent to announcing something. Samantha, Louise, and other Arcanists who participated in the live broadcast suddenly seemed unable to support their bodies. They sat softly on the ground, just like their past knowledge and common sense. Harmony can no longer support their worldview, outlook on life and values.
Arlingne, Lentne, where the live broadcast can be seen, the Arcanists have made this performance more or less, especially a magician who is good at astrology, crying silently, As if mourning the determinism that passed away and the "law of cause and effect" that may be destroyed.
Over the past few years, determinism has gradually reached the brink of bankruptcy, but they still refuse to admit it. It was not until this powerful and subversive shock that it is now officially formalized and extremely fragile.
Unspeakable sadness, wandering, confusion and despair enveloped the city of the sky and the various magic council branches.
Douglas looked around the live broadcast room and saw a few legendary magicians such as Brook and Fernando thinking seriously about the problem. The other Arcanists showed fragile expressions, so they thought: "The most important thing we have now is To figure out why this is happening, we must know that microscopic particles are matter that can diffuse everywhere. Maybe we can explain from other directions instead of forcing ourselves to believe that the present can change the past. "
His words reinjected the vitality of an impacted Arcanist, allowing them to gradually recover.
At the end of the broadcast, watching Samantha and the Arcanist leaving with sadness, Douglas sighed slightly: "Anyway, they should face up to the issue of determinism. In the era of great development of Arcane, in addition to glory and glory, In addition to words such as joy, excitement, and excitement, negative words such as sadness, pain, and despair must be accompanied. This is an era full of smiles and tears. "
"But after today, if there is no breakthrough in the theory, the strength of most of the Arcanist in the Council will stagnate for at least ten years, and the subversion of basic concepts will directly cause the instability of the cognitive world." Came over.
Fernando stared at the experimental device with his eyes still deadly: "Stagnation now is better than stagnation in the future, and even life will stagnate at that time. At present we have a godlike person, four legendary peaks, which can shelter them through remodeling Three things. "
The staggering footsteps sounded, and students from Lucien, Annick, Sprint, and Heidi came to the live broadcast room. After watching the experiment, they couldn't control themselves and couldn't wait to ask the teacher.
After seeing this scene, Douglas smiled bitterly: "These two thought experiments were brought up by Evans, so after this live broadcast, I think most of the Arcanists, magic apprentices and ordinary people with basic arcane knowledge , When you mention it, you feel scared. "
"I'm notorious ..." Lucian Mo laughed helplessly, clutching his chin.
"Teacher, does this really violate the law of causality? I don't think so ..." The introverted and shy Annick had a very stubborn attitude when facing arcane problems, so after saying hello to your Excellency, he didn't stop talking nonsense, asking He became a teacher and expressed his opinion.
Hearing his question Douglas, Hathaway, Oliver and others also turned their eyes to Lucien's face, and they also wanted to know Lucien's opinion on this experiment.
Lucian seems to have long expected that Annick would ask this question, and replied without thinking: "It is also possible that His Excellency the Speaker just said that electrons permeate the space and come from all paths. Only when we choose what we need to see As a result, it collapsed to one or two paths. This is not a change in the past, but before that, the electrons have not collapsed, and there is no problem that determines the path. "
Before we choose ... Annick opened his eyes: "The observer effect?"
Although there is no contradiction in causality in this interpretation, it also highlights the observer effect!
Lucian twitched his lips, watching Annick smiled, and didn't answer again.
Fernando and others shook their heads and were still unacceptable to the observer effect, so they left and went home to think hard, trying to find an explanation that neither emphasized the observer effect nor violated the law of time and causality. (To be continued ...)
ps: The last two or three weeks, can you give some recommended tickets?
