Chapter 3275: Rejuvenation (1/2)

Regarding the birth of parallel universes, scientists have of course thrown out many hypotheses and conjectures. Among them, the most widely spread is the ”observer hypothesis”, which is believed to be the observation behavior of the observer, which leads to the collapse of the quantum state, which in turn leads to The birth of parallel universes.

The simplest example is to go back to the thought experiment of ”Schrödinger’s Cat”. According to the ”observer hypothesis”, before the box is opened, the universe is currently in a quantum state with two probabilities superimposed. Once the box is opened, ”the observer” ”Seeing the result in the box, in an instant, the universe split into two. The two universes are almost identical, except that in one of them, the cat is alive, and in the other, the cat is dead. .

This theory of ”a cat's life and death can create a whole new universe” is really difficult to accept, but if it is replaced by a more important historical choice, it seems to be easier to understand-human civilization has walked in countless times. At the crossroads of history, if the original apes did not look up at the stars, if the tribe that learned to use flames to barbecue food was destroyed by a flash flood, if Qin Shihuang died in the assassin’s assassination during the process of unifying the six kingdoms, if Newton died of a terrible and widespread infectious disease before the famous apple fell. If Germany rather than the United States developed nuclear weapons first...'If, suppose, if', the current human civilization in the universe is just I chose one of the countless fork roads, but the other countless fork roads can still lead to countless colorful and completely different universes.

Even, to put it to the extreme, some ”theoretical explorers” of parallel universes believe that any choice made by everyone every minute and every second will cause a stormy wave of quantum series, leading to the ”split of the entire universe.” ”, a new parallel universe was born.

In other words, even if an ordinary person crosses the left foot or the right foot first when going out in the morning, it may trigger a series of chain reactions, leading to the birth of a new parallel universe.

Such an argument that is close to idealism puts mankind in the center of the infinite universe, and it is naturally difficult for people to accept it from common sense.

However, looking at the problem from another angle, ”the universe exists because of me” seems to be an irrefutable truth.

The simple truth is that when people mention the concept of ”universe”, they often think of vast space, shining stars, brilliant sun and soft moon, and perhaps various magnetic fields, ripples, and strong and weak effects. Force, and black holes and neutron stars and nebulae and all the dust of the universe.

However, the reason why people think that the universe is a ”bright sea of ​​stars” is precisely because human beings have ”eyes”, can observe light, receive radiation, and are proficient in various calculations and can use the most basic mathematical formulas. An ”observer” who infers the orbit of a planet thousands of miles away.

If there are no human beings, but another kind of intelligent life without light-sensitive organs, or even completely unable to detect light waves and thermal radiation, to act as observers, their universe is definitely not a ”bright sea of ​​stars”, but another kind of human beings completely unable to. Understand, perhaps something more confusing and more gorgeous.

If you think about it further, will the universe be richer, brighter, splendid, and brilliant billions of times than human observations, there are also various ripples and force fields, and all kinds of celestial bodies, but humans lack observation and calculations. Their ”organs”, so they have been immersed in the colorful sea of ​​abundance, but are they ignorant and ignorant?

It's like living in the deepest part of the underground caves for a lifetime. They have never seen a bright primitive tribe. They certainly don't know or don't need to know the meaning of colors. To them, the world is completely another form.

Finally, what if there are no humans?

There are neither human beings nor any intelligent creatures to act as ”observers.” Does the universe still exist, even if it exists, so that it has never been observed, and it is possible that the universe will be in a quantum superposition state forever. What's the point?

Therefore, in a ”meaningful universe”, the ”observer” must be the center of the universe. What the observer's eyes and other sensory organs look like is what the universe looks like; what the observer wants it to look like, it is What might become like? Observers are full of hope, the universe will be infinitely bright; observers fall into despair, and the universe will eternally sink.

... and this kind of information, like a scourge or a vast ocean, flooded into Li Yao's spirit.

”How to do?”

Li Yao's face sank like water, as if he was facing an enemy, ”I don't really understand what Hong Chao is talking about. It looks embarrassing. What should I do?”

As soon as this idea emerged in the depths of the soul, he felt the information flooding into his mind became clear and concise.

The specific theory and the mysterious and complicated conjectures, hypotheses, theorems and formulas are not important-anyway, Li Yao can't understand it. In short, Li Yao only needs to understand that the ”observer hypothesis” is partially valid under certain conditions. , Parallel universes really exist, and the way they were born is also related to ”whether Schrödinger's cat is alive or dead”.

This of course does not mean that if such a cat exists, its life and death will really create a new parallel universe.

Not to mention that an ordinary person with sleepy eyes in the morning, yawning and going to work, will create a new parallel universe with which foot to go out first.

No, it’s not that simple. The key lies in the conservation of mass and energy and the conservation of heat. The creation of a new parallel universe requires a lot of energy. Simple, low-level observation behaviors such as ”the life and death of a cat” and ”stride the left and right feet first”, It is not enough to stimulate enough powerful energy to ”promote” the birth of a new parallel universe.

Only when a sufficient number of observers excite the most powerful energy contained in their bodies and perform certain high-level observational behaviors can there be a certain probability that a new parallel universe will be born.

In the series of universes Hong Chao is in, the observers are all human beings.

The highest level of energy contained in the human body even has a certain chance to break through the ”law of conservation of mass and energy” or even the ultimate force that breaks through the dimensionality and barriers of the universe, which are emotion, will and imagination.
