The projection of the Atomic Universe was vast and profound. Elements were splitting, particles were gathering, and destruction and creation were superimposed. Even under the influence of the Thunder Hell, it was not twisted or collapsed. Together with the projection, it created a bizarre view in the narrow library.
Fernando was briefly stunned. "You are approaching level three of legendary … The feedback of the real world from the probabilistic interpretation of the wave function?"
In his head, he still remembered Lucien's solemn face when he looked at him and said that determinism must die.
"Yes." Lucien nodded his head and took out another two papers. "Together with the probabilistic interpretation of the wave function, they constitute the foundation of quantum mechanics and the fundamental law in the microscopic domain."
"'Enlightening Explanation of the Uncertainty Principle', 'Complementary Principle of Waves and Particles' …" Veins bulged on Fernando's forehead when he read 'uncertainty'. It reminded him of 'probability', the probability that he had to be sent to hell!
"… A set of unreciprocal quantities cannot be determined at the same time. Knowing one of them precisely will lead to the uncertainty of the other. For example, when you completely understand the speed and mass of an electron, you will find that it has lost its trace and position …"
The first paper was about the matrix mechanics that Fernando was familiar with. However, this time, apart from the mathematical description, Lucien also provided the specific arcana significance, responding to the arcanists who had been criticizing the real meaning of matrix mechanics.
However, Fernando would rather not have such an arcana significance!
Because it would deny the efforts to explore the world again. In the end, no matter how hard we try, we cannot know the specific information of electrons accurately? The precise grasp of one property inevitably leads to the uncertainty of the other property?
The microscopic particles that were uncertain and probabilistic were the cornerstones that constituted the matter of the entire world. Therefore, the matter was uncertain and probabilistic too? And we, who were made of matter, were uncertain and probabilistic too?
That was the most absurd and hilarious theory!
Thinking for a moment, Fernando said in a low voice, "Is it caused by observation? Because the microscopic particles are too small and too easy to be disturbed, all our methods of observation will cause changes to them. Therefore, it is impossible for us to grasp the other quantity when we determine one of the arcana quantities? "
If it was such an explanation, it would be easier for him to accept it. It meant that he could complete the measurement of the two quantities in a roundabout way. It was still a world that could be observed, studied, and concluded, instead of the ubiquitous probabilistic world that Lucien described!
Lucien thought for a moment and sighed. "This is a mathematical deduction based on the premise and assumptions. That is to say, nothing else is involved. Therefore, I would like to explain that the uncertainty principle is the intrinsic property of microscopic particles and has nothing to do with the means of observation. As for why it shows such a property, it remains to be studied, just like why it has the wave-particle duality."
Fernando's face had long turned red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. The wind was even stronger, blowing the books to the ground. The storm fell in the lightning and thunder. The dark and depressing atmosphere completely blocked the bright light.
He finally managed to control himself and looked at Lucien's last paper. The beginning of the paper made him feel better, because it was a theory that Lucien had expressed a long time ago. The blind men touching the dragon! Without a real understanding of microscopic particles, they could only be described based on the results of rigorous experiments, even though the results were contradictory. Because the contradictions were determined by the state that they were in right now, they were unified on a higher level.
However, Lucien later described the uncertainty principle as the fundamental law caused by the wave-particle duality with the same concept. When the particle property was more obvious, the wave property would naturally disappear, and vice versa. Therefore, there would be similar relationships such as the amount of motion and the position.
The three papers established a logical and self-consistent theoretical explanation, revealing the profound law of matrix mechanics and the microscopic domain. However, such a law was definitely not what Fernando wanted!
Boom!
Thunder that was countless times more violent than just now burst out. Fernando stared at Lucien, with electric arcs jumping in his pupils. The terrible picture of chaos even appeared in his left eye.
Bolts of lightning struck the study, destroying the bookshelves one after another.
"If the initial state cannot strictly determine the subsequent development of things, and if the microscopic domain is full of uncertainties, our world should be even more chaotic and disordered than the abyss. It is impossible for us to survive and think at all!"
The wind was blowing, and the storm was pouring. However, such power could not compare to the vastness of the universe. It seemed insignificant after entering it.
Lucien seemed to be standing at the center of the boundless' Atomic Universe '. He said in a low voice, "The generalized determinism ran into difficulties with the N-body problem a long time ago, and the microscopic domain is a place where the original concepts have to be abandoned. The uncertainties of the microscopic domain do not mean the uncertainties of the macroscopic world."
The N-body problem was a concept of celestial mechanics. The simplified version was the three-body problem, which was a celestial body system made of three planets. Because they affected each other and were very complicated, the actual trajectories could not be strictly solved. The only way was to discuss the global problems or the local solutions at certain moments through qualitative approaches. It was highly contradictory to determinism, but it was generally believed that the situation was caused by the underdevelopment of mathematics.
"Then why is there such a huge difference between the microscopic domain and the macroscopic domain?" Fernando's roar was even more terrifying than thunder.
Lucien was surrounded by countless elemental planets. "That's what we need to study."
"You are bold enough to propose such a theory when you don't understand anything and everything needs to be studied?" Fernando was even more infuriated. The weather around had already changed. The rising sun was covered by dark clouds, and bolts of lightning flashed across the sky. Hellen, who was in charge of the Allyn magic tower, also noticed it and informed Douglas and the other grand arcanists to come. She was worried that she could not control the situation on her own.
Lucien stepped forward in the profound and vast projection of the universe. "It is based on the results of abundant experiments so far. It fits the other theories and phenomena in the microscopic domain best!"
"Its mistake shouldn't be refuted with old theories, but confirmed with concrete experiments!"
As he spoke, Lucien pushed his monocle.
"Master, calm down first. Design experiments to overthrow it and refute me."
Fernando knew that it was just an explanation that Lucien proposed. Only the uncertainty principle was strictly inferred, but its arcana significance was still to be discussed. Therefore, after taking a deep breath, he managed to hold back his feelings and said loudly, "I will not accept your theory.
"I will not and will not accept your theory. I cannot agree that our world is built on a die!"
The lightning flashed, and the thunder was gone. The storm stopped, but the wind was still blowing, as if it were indicating Fernando's mental state. Such a scene made Lucien feel even more depressed than the previous doomsday. "Has my master, who has always supported and protected me, taken the other side on this' path '?"
At this moment, Hellen walked in and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Douglas, Brook, Hathaway, Oliver, Vicente, and the other grand arcanists arrived in dozens of seconds. If Fernando and Lucien had a fight or their heads were blown up, the whole of Allyn would've been destroyed.
Fernando sniffed and pointed at the paper on the desk. "Copy it for yourselves. Remember, this is just Lucien's dream talk. Don't take it seriously!"
Even Douglas was subconsciously scared when he saw the paper on the desk. After hearing Fernando's explanation and seeing that he was standing there perfectly fine, they each copied a copy and browsed through it.
After a long time, the library was plunged into darkness again. Planets were collapsing, and the universe of destruction enshrouded everything. Oliver said coldly, "Absurd! This is complete nonsense! This is completely different from our reality. It only exists in dreams! "
The magnetic field twisted the environment, and the electric currents danced crazily like silver snakes. Brook also said solemnly, "We cannot observe the uncertainty of matter in reality. It is safe to say that if we do, it means that our own existence is absurd and contradictory!"
Boom!
The noises of collapse and destruction were even more terrifying than thunder!
In the library, more bizarre and complicated scenes popped up:
Translucent, delicate snowflakes drifted down, bringing unimaginable coldness. Hellen's intermittent murmurs were mixed in. "Experiment results … determinism … prophecies are probabilities too … matter is probabilities too … the world is probabilities too?" As cold as she was, she could barely control her feelings and facial expressions at this moment.
The elemental light spots were like colorful flowers blooming and converging into a torrent. Hathaway's expression was indifferent. She looked at the paper with unfocused eyes, as if she was looking at her own laboratory and the experiment data in it. "Probability … Then all the laws are wrong …" She murmured.
In the quiet and desolate wilderness where tombstones were everywhere, the needle-like redness on Vicente's face was bouncing violently. "If the wave function of electrons is a probabilistic wave, which is the superposition of all possible positions, something terrible will happen, resulting in the loss of objectivity and rationality of matter. We have never observed such a terrible thing in the real world. At the very least, we exist in this place."
The mountains were hazy, and the water was glittering. The beautiful scenery that was no different from the real world was highlighted, pacifying the weird scenes other than the magnetic field and electric currents.
Against the backdrop of countless brilliant stars, Douglas was unusually stern. "We believe in arcana instead of gods because it encourages us to observe and consider things with causality. We are convinced that there must be a unified fundamental law behind all the natural phenomena, which affects different things through corresponding transformations. The foundation of everything is the rationality and understandability of the world."
"Even if all the observed phenomena so far are probabilities, I believe that there must be a certain reason that leads to such probabilities, not their fundamental nature!"
"Lucien, the truth of the world is not a die!"
Starlight fell, and the dark illusion of gravity brought heavy oppression, causing the space to vaguely shrink.
"Yes, the truth of the world is not a die!" Oliver almost lost his cool. He almost turned into 'Roaring Fernando'.
Brook nodded in agreement. "The truth of the world is not a die!"
"Did you hear me? The truth of the world is not a die! "Fernando roared again.
As he spoke, destructive storms, collapsing planets, twisted magnetic fields, lightning snakes, and twisted space burst out one after another.
BOOM!
"… The truth of the world is not a die!"
Amidst the rumbling, these words were like the light of judgment that struck down.
The 'Atomic Universe' reappeared. In the boundless darkness, the eternal suns generated by fusion drove away the oppression and darkness.
Standing in the middle of the illusionary universe, Lucien shook his head. "Mr. President, Mr. Brook, Oliver …"
After a brief pause, he replied in a more determined voice,
"Don't dictate what the truth of the world should be!"
