While they talked, Lucien took over this issue of 'Element'. He glanced at the title, only to discover that the author was Telaviv, a level-four arcanist and fifth-circle sorcerer.
"Perhaps he's a new sorcerer. Only a young man like him can propose the model without any obstacles …" Lucien thought to himself.
It was not that Douglas, Brook, Fernando, Hathaway, and the others did not consider the possibility of the existence of negative energy and antiparticles, and if they did belong to this world, how they should coexist with the original matter in a certain form. However, even if they had such conjectures, they would not rashly propose them. Instead, they would consider carefully and wait for the confirmation of antiparticles.
If they proposed a similar conjecture model, there could only be one reason, which was that the conjecture model could help to discover and confirm antiparticles and negative energy, but obviously, the 'vacuum ocean of negative energy' was not.
In this paper, Telaviv, a strange arcanist, proposed a ubiquitous' ocean of negative energy 'that filled every place based on the nature of microscopic particles.
According to the principle proposed by Fernando, electrons always filled the 'orbit' with the lowest energy level first, and the negative energy was obviously lower than all the energy states that had been discovered so far. It was obvious that electrons would jump in that direction. It was like when a building was being built, it would always start from the foundation and then go to the basement, the first floor and the second floor.
Not only would the energy generated by such a large-scale jump destroy the entire universe, but all the experiments that had been observed so far had strongly refuted it. That was why Dieppe, Larry and the rest of them, who inferred the negative energy state first, regarded it as proof that their conclusion was wrong because of their carelessness.
After Lucien proposed his quantum equation and predicted the existence of antiparticles, many arcanists, assuming that it was true, began to consider why electrons did not 'change' in that direction when there was a negative energy state. Therefore, Telaviv made a bold guess that the reason why electrons did not 'march' to the negative energy state according to their 'natural instincts' was that the negative energy state had been filled by other electrons, and they could not go any further.
Also, based on the arrangement of electrons, he inferred that electrons in the negative energy state could not be observed by the arcanists, at least not right now. Therefore, in his model, every place in the world was densely packed with electrons in the negative energy state, as if they were living in an ocean of negative energy. It was the same even in the vacuum. There was no absolute vacuum!
Therefore, it was an 'ocean of negative energy' that 'drowned' the universe and boasted 'infinite' energy.
However, electrons in the negative energy state could also be stimulated. After they absorbed energy and jumped into normal electrons that could be observed, a hole would be left in the ocean of negative energy. The hole had the opposite charge and the same mass as the electron, namely the positron (also known as the antielectron or the positron).
At this part, Telaviv continued his bold speculation like a sorcerer. He believed that the ubiquitous ocean of negative energy was one of the reasons why supernatural powers such as magic existed. The essence of spiritual power, will, and magic patterns was to communicate with the ocean of energy in a special way, thereby gaining unimaginable power that could change everything. Therefore, it was the source of energy for all kinds of magic and supernatural powers. It also provided a way to explain the conservation of energy in magic.
A long time ago, Hellen, the Witch of Iceland, had quantitatively verified the conservation of energy between spiritual power and magic: the consumed spiritual power equaled the energy contained in magic at the beginning. The reason why certain spells caused more damage than the reduction of spiritual power was because they interacted with the world around during their actual reactions and caused chain changes. The most typical example was' Eternal Blaze '. However, the problem was, where could the consumed spiritual power be replenished?
It was normal to use magic potions to help restore mental strength, and no one doubted the source of the energy. However, the natural increase of mental strength was quite strange. Whether it was the slow recovery during normal times or the fast recovery under meditation, it was difficult to provide a convincing source of energy. It was impossible to restore mental strength out of thin air, right? If there was an increase, there should be a decrease, but no phenomenon in that regard had been observed so far.
Before, the Congress of Magic had two mainstream explanations for the problem. One of them believed that the recovery of spiritual power came from the reaction of the soul itself. To put it in the most common language, the soul was equivalent to a controllable fusion reactor that provided reliable energy for itself. However, the problem with that explanation was still the same. Even a fusion reactor needed raw materials. What did the soul consume to generate energy?
Regarding that, Oliver, the most "romantic" grand arcanist, proposed a model that seemed to fit the phenomenon. It was the soul that consumed "itself", and when "itself" was consumed, it would be the end of one's life. Therefore, the improvement of one's magic power and the strengthening of one's soul could slow down aging and increase one's longevity. Therefore, rituals could prolong one's life because they were replenishing the consumption of the soul.
However, the model had its own shortcomings. Even Oliver couldn't fully agree on it. According to his theory, if magic was used as little as possible, or even no magic at all, the upper limit of one's life would be significantly increased. However, according to his observation, there was no fundamental difference between the lives of the two classes of arcanists who used magic frequently and those who used magic rarely.
Another mainstream explanation for the recovery of spiritual power was that the energy came from the "real world", and "meditation" was a way to connect the soul to the "real world". It could be preliminarily confirmed by the fact that sorcerers could receive feedback from the "real world" while other classes couldn't.
As for where the "real world" was and how the energy was transmitted, that was another problem.
However, it couldn't explain the phenomenon that Knight and magic creatures could also recover their consumption, unless they were also "connected" to the "real world" but couldn't receive feedback from the "real world" for some reason.
Because there had been no progress on the question of what the soul and the "real world" were, the two mainstream explanations were only at the stage of conjecture without the support of theories and formulas.
On the other hand, Tallgeese's "vacuum ocean of negative energy" model, based on the Lucien equation and the verifiable negative energy and anti-particles, described a ubiquitous ocean of energy and explained the recovery of spiritual power in the simplest and clearest way.
"Meditation" was the communication of the soul to the "ocean of negative energy". Because it was everywhere and had almost infinite energy, the soul could naturally absorb its energy to recover spiritual power. The feedback of the "real world", on the other hand, was exactly because of the better theory and the reality of the world, led to corresponding changes in the cognitive world, and the communication with the ocean of negative energy was instantly strengthened.
In the same way, the model of the ocean of negative energy also explained why the transformation spells required enormous energy but little energy for the initial activation. After Lucien proposed the mass-energy formula, the studies on the transformation spells directly led to the suspicion of the law of conservation of energy. However, Hellen designed a splendid experiment and proved that the non-conservation of energy in the general sense did not exist.
The model was so significant that Tallgeese couldn't help but thank the Congress of Magic, Mr. Atom Controller, Lucien equation, and the anti-particle conjecture after he finished the main body of the paper. He also affectionately called his model of the ocean of negative energy "Source of Magic" and "Transcendent Ocean".
"This is a paper of great significance. It marks a brand-new direction for the arcanists to study the nature of magic …" Lucien commented after reading the paper.
Under the illumination of the magic lamp, Heidi's eyes glittered like crystals. "Master, do you approve of the model?"
"Approve? How can I approve a paper that is not supported by experiments and phenomena? It's just that his idea is very novel and gives us another possible path to explain the nature of magic. However, whether or not it's a wrong path still needs to be studied. Everything will be decided by mathematics and experiments. "Lucien said with a smile.
Knowing that the model on Earth had been abandoned, he did not rush to refute it.
On one hand, Lucien had been exploring in the mist himself. The more he studied in the microscopic domain, the more he felt that the fundamental reason for the difference between the two worlds must be here. As for which part it was, it had to be explored in the future. Therefore, he could not blindly believe it just because it was proved wrong on Earth. He had to refute it with his own experiments and deductions.
On the other hand, Lucien also hoped that the model could enlighten the arcanists and make them think more about the nature of magic. For a long time in the past, the studies on the nature of magic had been stagnant and difficult, which made most arcanists lose interest in it. They did not consider why there was magic but focused on the nature of the world, creating new spells and improving existing ones, hoping that they would reach the same destination later. After Lucien proposed the observer effect in the microscopic domain, their idea seemed to be proven correct.
"Master, you're right. It's only a possible model so far, but with it, the nature of magic doesn't seem to need the pure state, the superposition state, and the observer effect anymore." Deep in thought, Layria said in a daze, which made Heidi chuckle. Was she saying that her teacher's conjecture about the observer effect was wrong to his face? Well, Annick and Sprint would certainly be delighted. Their appreciation for the paper was obvious on their faces.
Lucien smiled. "It can only explain the recovery of spiritual power in the nature of magic, but it cannot explain why the ocean of negative energy can be communicated and why all kinds of weird spells can appear. That's probably the range of the observer effect, the pure state, and the superposition state."
Annick and Sprint did not have any other theories to explain the problem. Therefore, even though Lucien could tell that they did not agree with it, they did not argue.
"What other papers are there?" Lucien asked casually and continued reading the journal.
