The sky was getting dark. Larry had been studying Lucien's paper wholeheartedly. After the resistance in his heart was gone, he realized that the paper brought him great enlightenment.
"… Now, what I want to say is that there may be a problem with determinism here. Some processes are probabilistic and irreversible …" Larry rubbed his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "If there were no strict laws governing the real world, how chaotic and disorderly would the real world be? But in fact, it's not like that. Sometimes, many things are in a state of complete chaos, and it's difficult to predict."
"Damn it. Let's not think about it for now and not extend the fantastic theory in the microscopic domain to the macroscopic world for now. Even if it works in the microscopic domain, I believe that other factors collapse the wave function during the extension and confirm the result." Larry cursed in a low voice and decided to comment on the paper only in the microscopic domain, or he felt that his head would explode and his worldview would collapse!
It was because it seemed to contradict reality. He couldn't be a ubiquitous probabilistic wave, could he? Could he appear in the laboratory, the headquarters of the Will of Elements and the Allyn magic tower at the same time?
There was no telling how long it had been. Larry took out all his experiment records and papers in the microscopic domain and analyzed them carefully from the perspective of probabilistic interpretation, uncertainty principle and complementarity principle, reconstructing the content about the new alchemy and quantum mechanics. The result was within his expectation, but he found it hard to accept. It was the most logical and self-consistent theoretical explanation that fit the experiment data so far. It could resolve some of the problems that hadn't been resolved before!
Without him knowing it, the sun had risen. Larry picked up his quill and wrote after considering for a moment, "… At least in the microscopic domain, none of the magic experiments so far can prove that Mr. Evans' probabilistic interpretation is wrong. Also, it has resolved the problem of Mr. Oliver's interpretation of the wave function very well …"
"… The complementarity principle also unifies the particle nature and the wave nature of electrons from a philosophical perspective, allowing us to 'see' the wonders of the microscopic domain more authentically … As for whether the uncertainty principle is an intrinsic property of particles or a phenomenon caused by observation, it remains to be proved through the magic experiments that we design."
He did not think too much about what made the probabilistic and uncertainties in the microscopic domain unable to affect the macroscopic world, because it might introduce conditions that had never been considered before and conditions that had never been discovered before!
"Perhaps those factors or conditions are the essence of the soul? The essence of magic? The fundamental reason why magic patterns can create magic effects … "After writing the comment, Larry fell into an endless train of thought.
Unknowingly, the new generation of senior-rank arcanists who grew up in the tide of the new alchemy began to stand on the opposite side of the sorcerers of the old era, including many grand arcanists. The torrent of changes made them have no time to think too much. They could only move forward according to their arcana instincts.
In the same way, Dieppe, who won the first Evans Prize in Arcana, had a similar reaction when he saw Lucien's three-in-one book, 'Basics of Quantum Mechanics and the New Alchemy'.
He had thought that he was a real arcanist who was good at creative ideas and a representative of open-mindedness after he came up with the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles. However, after reading the paper, he felt that his imagination could not keep up with the pace anymore. The probabilistic explanation of the wave function, the unacceptable ubiquitous cloud of probabilities, and the two arcana quantities that could not be determined at the same time were all beyond his imagination and understanding!
"This is a subversive challenge to determinism, at least in the microscopic domain!" Dieppe was both shocked and repulsed. He felt that he was a warrior who was challenging the old order, just like the epic heroes who had buried the Magic Empire!
The roars of the charge echoed the tragic collapse of the old era and the voices of hope for the establishment of a new era!
Such an imagination made his blood boil. He was both scared and eager, just like when he proposed the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles.
"Will it lead to the reconstruction of the entire arcana system? Will it open a new chapter for the Congress? " He murmured to himself and continued reading like a madman, trying to understand the content of Lucien's paper from every angle and every line of thought.
Without any resistance or repulsion, he discovered that Mr. Evans' paper explained many of the current experimental phenomena very well. It truly laid a theoretical foundation for matrix mechanics and wave mechanics, the two new alchemy systems, even though they were so absurd and self-contradictory from a macroscopic perspective!
"If we don't consider how the microscopic world transforms to the macroscopic world, Mr. Evans' paper that contains three theories is definitely the best and most suitable 'relative truth' in the microscopic domain right now. Even though I find it absurd, I have to admit that abundant experiment data indicate the logic. I suggest that all the arcanists study the new alchemy according to its explanation when they cannot prove it, but do not be in a hurry to construct their own cognitive world with it …"
"I believe that the falsification of the three fundamental theories will lead to the vigorous development of the microscopic domain. No matter what the final result is, no matter whether it is right or wrong, the process itself is a process of harvest and development …"
Writing the evaluation result, Dieppe felt the torrent of the era for the first time. It made him almost want to jump into it and leave his mark on the era. Only in such a way would the path of arcana not be in vain!
… …
Inside the tower, Neeshka and Samantha, who had come to consult the Prophet for days, were lost for words as they read the paper in their hands. Bergner, on the other hand, walked to the tower and looked at the buildings that were as insignificant as ants. He then looked at the brilliant stars in the sky and sighed. "It's finally here …"
As he predicted, the subversive strike on the theoretical foundation of the school of astrology was coming! After destroying the old theories one after another, Lucien Evans finally set his eyes on one of the most fundamental things in the current arcana and magic system — determinism!
Also, he indirectly denied the value and significance of exploration, because no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible to determine the position and momentum of electrons at the same time!
Neeshka was woken up by the Prophet's sigh. He said solemnly, "It's absurd and hilarious. Also, it's just an explanation that has no theoretical basis and is completely contradictory to the macroscopic world! I believe that there are fundamental laws in this world that strictly govern everything. That's the goal and motivation for our arcana explorations. "
"I have a stubborn belief in determinism, too, but I can't let my belief be reflected in my own arcana attitude. Maybe Lucien will come up with an experiment to prove it one day. So, what we need to do now is to design a magic experiment to verify it. Until then, blind belief is not advisable."
The Prophet corrected Neeshka's attitude. "Of course, I also believe that even if Lucien can prove the probabilistic explanation, probabilistic cloud, quantum superposition and the uncertainty principle with experiments, he must've neglected the reasons why they are like that and didn't consider other factors. Otherwise, our world wouldn't be what it is right now."
Samantha nodded her head slightly, her eyes losing focus. "I can't imagine a probabilistic world where even our own existence is uncertain …"
She had been firmly on Lucien's side regarding the wave-particle duality of light, and now, she was firmly on the opposite side, not because of anything else but her own arcana worldview and her belief in arcana and magic!
After Neeshka and Samantha left, Bergner looked at the vast cosmos again.
He seemed to be hallucinating that the glorious and splendid old era was collapsing at an unstoppable speed, and on its ruins, a new era that was even more splendid and magnificent was being born.
"Am I not sure?"
He asked himself in a low voice.
… …
Inside the Mind Garden …
When he first read Lucien's paper, Atlant, the Eye of Curse, found it unacceptable like everybody else. In his eyes, the world was obviously reasonable, understandable and predictable.
However, his face gradually changed in his resistance, because Lucien's detailed description of the probabilistic cloud and the quantum superposition state was somehow familiar to him!
Suddenly, the way to become a demigod that Benedict III gave him flashed in his head!
"Isn't … Isn't this the form of existence after the transformation? Lucien Evans got the inspiration from the Pathway of Immortality? "The light in his eyes was dim and gloomy, indicating his shock.
"Is this Lucien Evans's achievement after studying the way to become a demigod and the secrets of immortality? Is he laying a theoretical foundation for the path to become a demigod? "
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. Atlant began to read the paper with a different attitude, and his rejection gradually disappeared. He discovered that accepting the theory could not only solve the problems in the microscopic domain but also illuminate the path for him to become a demigod. So, it was a real state of existence!
… …
Inside the pope's library in the Holy City …
The paper "Basics of Quantum Mechanics and the New Alchemy" was already on Benedict III's desk.
"Denying determinism? Denying Thanos's demon?" He sniffed at first, but he was completely caught in silence after he read on, as if he were completely attracted by the paper.
Everything in the study suddenly began to shake like water ripples, as if they had spread out and were everywhere!
Suddenly, the feeling was gone, and everything was back to normal. Shocked, Benedict III asked, "Quantum superposition state?"
He grabbed a file from the void. The handwriting on the file was rather new. It was titled "Thoughts on the Nature of the Power of Faith and How to Control and Absorb it".
Inside the Realm of Gates, while Benedict III was too shocked to control himself, "Monster" Viken also appeared and asked in both surprise and amusement, "Quantum superposition state?"
