Chapter 349: Extraordinary Bird (Part 2) [First Update]
In the banquet hall of the Talisman Temple, a group of venerable people were quarreling over the life and death of a bird.
"I think it should be dead. Even if it is not poisoned by poisonous gas, it will die of suffocation or starvation."
"That makes sense!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"I agree, there is no option of suffocating or starving to death. It will either be poisoned to death or not poisoned to death."
"You are a group of distinguished people, can you please be more serious and don't get into trouble with me?"
Zhuo Bufan was speechless. Fortunately, these respected people could figure it out. These respected people couldn't figure it out and started to use their brains.
"I also think I will die. What if the little bird activates the poison gas device on its own?"
A distinguished man said.
"What if it is stunned, or it cannot activate the poison gas device?"
Zhuo Bufan asked rhetorically.
Zu Jiuling on the side asked after hearing this.
"Can't you use your soul to sense his life and death?"
"Teacher, you can't. I should have said before that this box blocks soul detection."
Zhuo Bufan replied.
A group of distinguished people shook their heads.
"I really can't think of this. This bird is in the box, and it either dies or it doesn't."
"Death and survival are superimposed. No one knows whether it is dead or not unless the lid is opened."
Guangzun did say the key issue.
He mentioned that the superposition state of life and death is one of the unique charms of quantum mechanics.
When Zhuo Bufan heard this, he smiled.
"Guangzun is right. Opening the box and observing it is the only way we can determine whether the bird is dead."
"But Guangzun, only by opening the box can we truly determine the life or death of the bird."
"Yet the bird's life and death happened before we even opened the box."
"If we don't open the box, then we don't know if the bird dies."
"In other words, it is our observation that determines whether it is dead or not."
Zhuo Bufan's words made all the distinguished people confused.
A group of people speculated on the meaning of Zhuo Bufan's words, but they all looked confused.
"My lord, are you trying to say that it is not the poisonous gas that kills the birds, but us observers?"
"Because of our observations, its death was established?"
A distinguished person understands it this way.
"It can be understood this way. I would like to ask everyone to go back to the previous photon double-slit interference experiment."
"Everyone has discovered this problem. Under our observation, the photon chooses the straight-line propagation of the particle state. This choice is made before it is emitted from the emission device."
"When we are not observing, it chooses a wave state and produces interference fringes."
"It was our observations that led to this magical phenomenon."
"Is this the same thing as the little bird I said?"
"We are used to the relationship between cause and effect. Because light produces interference fringes, the light produces a wave state. Because the bird is dead, it was poisoned."
"But now, Motoko's world tells us that this cause and effect may have collapsed, and there is no so-called causal relationship."
"On the premise of knowing the result in advance, we can decide which form to take."
"That is, the consequences occur before the choice is made."
"Does it sound ridiculous?"
Zhuo Bufan smiled, but in fact, what he said was an issue that has been controversial in the quantum world.
After all, according to the cause and effect relationship of the timeline, changing the actions in front of the timeline will produce countless results behind the timeline.
It's like going back to the past and making new choices, then the future will change accordingly.
In fact, Zhuo Bufan keeps going back to the past and changing the future through the archive door.
But when they see the phenomenon now, the outcome behind the timeline is a given. After knowing the determined outcome in the future, Quantum made the corresponding choice in advance.
"No, Xiaozhuo, you knocked me out. The bird did have two outcomes, life and death, in the box before we determined whether it was dead or not."
"But on the timeline, the bird did live and die first, and we will determine its life and death later."
"In the final analysis, its life or death determines whether we are sure of its life or death."
Guangzun is wise, at least he can understand every word Zhuo Bufan said.
And after he understood every word of Zhuo Bufan, he also expressed his own opinions.
"But Guangzun, isn't it true that the life or death of the little bird can only be determined by our observation?"
"That is to say, before we open the box and look at it, we can't say whether it is dead or alive. We can only say that it is both dead and alive. It is in a superposition of life and death."
Zhuo Bufan explained vigorously.
At this time, Guangzun was also at a loss.
"The superimposed state of life and death is interesting, really interesting."
"So, is this bird dead or alive?"
Zhuo Bufan shrugged and said with a smile, "Who knows?"
"For example, is that photon a wave or a particle?"
"This bird is in a superposition state of life and death, so why aren't photons a superposition state of waves and particles?"
Zhuo Bufan finally said the most critical sentence in this debate.
Wave-particle duality of light! He officially started research on the quantum world.
After hearing Zhuo Bufan's words, Guang Zun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"So that's it, so that's it! Xiao Zhuo, is this the reason why you said light is both a wave and a particle?"
Zhuo Bufan smiled slightly and did not explain.
For some things, the more he explained, the more responsible he was.
For example, after he just talked endlessly, most of the Zun people in the audience looked at him in confusion.
Only a few Zun people seemed to understand what he said.
"That bird, even if it is dead, is it alive? Just like light is both a particle and a wave?"
"Damn, it's so hard to understand! But why am I so excited in my heart."
"This little Zun is really good at talking! Although I didn't understand much, I felt that he was so powerful. He is worthy of being a genius that is rare in the Talisman Temple for thousands of years!"
"Hey, do you think this little Zun is the reincarnation of that man?"
Some Zun people looked at Zhuo Bufan and said.
"That man? Who is he!"
"Who else could it be? The founder of the Talisman Temple, the first Grand Master!"
"The first Grand Master?"
For a moment, all the venerables looked at Zhuo Bufan.
The first Grand Master, a legendary figure, the man who created the Talisman Temple.
In his old age, he created the Talisman Temple.
He may not be as full of legends and epics as the Four Emperors, but he is indeed the greatest and most mysterious existence in the history of the Talisman Temple.
