There was a cool breeze blowing on the deck late at night. The surface of the sea was quiet and gentle, and the moonlight was like silver satin. The stars in the sky were like diamonds falling on the dark blue sky, sparkling and translucent.
They were not in the mood to enjoy such a beautiful night.
Huo Shaoheng turned to look. "Ms. Song, what quantum mechanics are Big Xiong and Little Ze talking about? They even said it's more similar to Nianzhi and Professor He's situation? "
Song Jinning walked to his side and held the railing of the ship with both hands. She thought for a moment and said, "Are they talking about the phenomenon of the super-strong magnetic field I discovered causing the scenery to overlap?"
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Chen Lie scratched his head. "I think so? They're saying, could it be … Professor He and Nianzhi … were also overlapped … "
Was that why there were two people who looked exactly the same?
Song Jinning's lips twitched. "They can really imagine."
She paused and shifted her gaze to the sea. She began to explain, "I might not have made it clear before."
"First of all, quantum mechanics is more about the phenomena of the microscopic world. The phenomena of the macroscopic world can't be directly copied from this theory."
Seeing that Huo Shaoheng and Chen Lie were silent, Song Jinning knew that they didn't understand either.
Fortunately, she had already heard from Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong about the little girl in the submarine in the cabin just now. She also knew that this little girl might be the real Gu Nianzhi, and that she looked exactly the same as the Gu Nianzhi they were once familiar with. Even their DNA might be the same. Although the little girl's DNA hadn't been tested yet.
Song Jinning thought about Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze's bold words and smiled. She continued, "In the microscopic world described by quantum mechanics, particles can indeed appear in different places at the same time. But we're talking about particles here, not people or things in the macroscopic world. "
"I told them just now that the photos taken by Little Ze were blurry, but the overlapping phenomenon of clear boundaries is indeed similar to this theory."
"But there's another explanation for this phenomenon in the macroscopic world. It can't simply be explained as the same scene appearing in different places at the same time."
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a moment. "Then what's your explanation?"
Song Jinning made a gesture. "If we have to use the macroscopic world to apply the theory of quantum mechanics, then it's Schrodinger's cat."
"When the cat is in the box, it can be alive and dead at the same time. As the saying goes, 'dead and alive'."
"But when you opened the box and found the cat, there was only one state left."
"At this time, whether it's alive or dead, there's only one state. It's either alive or dead. There won't be a situation where it's both alive and dead at the same time."
"Do you understand? So if you insist on using He Zhichu and Nianzhi's situation, I don't think it's appropriate. "
"What's not suitable?" Huo Shaoheng understood a little, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
"Because in the theory of 'Schrödinger's cat,' there is only one cat from beginning to end. Whether it is dead or alive, or both, it only appears in one cat. There has never been two cats."
"And the situation you're facing now is that there are two He Zhichu and possibly two Gu Nianzhi."
"In one group, He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi have already grown up, but in the other group, they all died when they were young. You even found their corpses. How can they be the same as Schrodinger's cat?"
"What are you guys thinking?" Song Jinning sighed. "I don't believe they're clones either, so the problem is still with their DNA."
Huo Shaoheng frowned. "But Chen Lie has already tested their DNA and confirmed that Nianzhi, who grew up with us, is indeed Gu Xiangwen's daughter."
"If the little girl in this small submarine is also Gu Xiangwen's daughter and has the same DNA as Nianzhi, then it's the same situation as He Zhichu and the 16-year-old boy."
"Then why do you say the problem is still with the DNA?"
Huo Shaoheng was extremely puzzled.
Song Jinning raised an eyebrow. "Are the two of them really the same DNA?"
Her sharp gaze turned to Chen Lie. "There are six billion base pairs in the human chromosome. Have you really compared all the base pairs? Including the order in which they are arranged? "
"How is that possible!" Chen Lie smiled bitterly. "It's impossible to compare six billion base pairs according to the order in which they are arranged!"
"So you didn't compare all the base pairs, so you can't say that their DNA is exactly the same." Song Jinning was a standard scientist. She was very particular about rigorous reasoning and logic.
When ordinary people said "exactly the same", it was actually a general category.
However, in Song Jinning's opinion, if the two people really had the same DNA, then they would need to compare every base pair to reach this conclusion.
Without a set of base pairs to compare, they couldn't say that the two of them were exactly the same, even if they looked exactly the same.
Chen Lie couldn't believe his ears. "You mean, we have to compare all their DNA base pairs? Six billion base pairs?! "
Song Jinning nodded and said implicitly, "I know this is a lot of work, but before we find a suitable theory to guide the appraisal, we can only use the exhaustive method."
Huo Shaoheng frowned and looked at Chen Lie. "You didn't use the exhaustive method to compare before?"
"Hehe …" Chen Lie laughed dryly. "Major General Huo, everyone has six billion base pairs in their DNA. Six billion, plus the order of the sequence. Do you know what that means? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at him quietly. "This is your job scope. You're asking me?"
Chen Lie blushed at his words. After a while, he said embarrassedly, "Major General Huo, using DNA to test the relationship of immediate family and comparing the sequence of all the DNA base pairs of two people are two different things."
"Speak human language." Huo Shaoheng raised his voice. "Don't talk to me about biomedical terms."
Chen Lie pushed his glasses up with his hand and said thoughtfully, "Using DNA to test the relationship of immediate family actually only needs to test three kinds of unique microsatellites.
DNA can do it. "
"The usual practice is to determine the three kinds of microsatellites contained in the father and mother.
DNA。”
"As long as you can find these kinds of microsatellites in children, DNA can be confirmed.
We can be sure that they are biological children. "
"If you can't find any of these, then you're 100% sure that they're not immediate family."
Huo Shaoheng listened for a long time and digested it. He said, "You mean, there are two situations when DNA is used to test the relationship of immediate family."
"One is that there is an immediate family relationship, and the other is that there is no immediate family relationship."
"Using this method, we can very accurately rule out the situation where the two of them don't have an immediate family relationship, that is, they aren't biological father and son or mother and son."
"But to determine their immediate family relationship, we can't be 100% sure?"
"Yes. That's what I mean. " Chen Lie nodded at Huo Shaoheng. "When I compared the DNA of Professor He and the 16-year-old boy's skeleton, I did the same thing. I compared these microsatellites and found that they were exactly the same.
The DNA was exactly the same. Even the usual mutation nodes were exactly the same. But … "
"But what?" Huo Shaoheng's gaze sharpened.
Song Jinning understood and explained to Huo Shaoheng, "I understand what Chen Lie means. But from the current situation, only a few groups of microsatellites and DNA can be compared.
They can't meet our test requirements at all. "
Simply put, to do an immediate family identification, they only needed to test three random microsatellites.
The DNA series would do.
However, to prove that the DNA of the two people was exactly the same, they had to compare all six billion base pairs of them.
When the two numbers of three billion and six billion were compared, anyone with a discerning eye would know the workload and difficulty of the latter. Compared to the former, it was of course a geometric increase.
She turned to look at Chen Lie. "So you should still compare the six billion base pairs of the two of them according to the order they were arranged one by one to figure out what the situation is."
Because in terms of DNA itself, the difference between people wasn't that big.
Then, to really do all the DNA comparisons, they would need to compare the six billion base pairs according to the original order.
Huo Shaoheng had originally believed in Chen Lie's test for He Zhichu's situation. Now that he heard Song Jinning say that there seemed to be other situations, he immediately looked at Chen Lie. "You haven't done a comparison of the six billion base pairs before?"
