666 The Correct Attitude towards Arcana (1/2)
Annick looked at his teacher nervously, but also in great determination. Shy as he was, opposing his teacher was basically like jumping down to the ground from the edge of Allyn without any magic protection. However, his own understanding of microscopic domain was urging him to step out and speak out his own opinion!
Would Mr. Evans be angry at him? Or disappointed?
However, when Annick looked into Mr. Evans's eyes, to his great surprise, there was no look of anger or disappointment at all. It was a very calm, peaceful face.
\”What's the problem that you think?\” Under the arcanists' gaze, Lucien asked in a calm tone.
Annick took a deep breath and said, \”Observation indeed can change results, but we can't say that it's conscious. Observation should be objective, and any life forms or even lifeless things could do. It still requires further exploration and research for us to know when a quantum superposition state is formed.\”
He only had some rough thoughts. He could not make it any clearer.
\”I think so as well.\” Sprint said aloud, who was a bit surprised that Annick had successfully expressed himself under such huge pressure.
Douglas agreed, \”Although there is no mathematical model to support it yet, this sounds more objective. Lucien, your theory is too subjective.\”
Fernando did not say anything, but the look on his face showed that he was on Annick's side. Although it did not mean that he believed Annick was right, it still appeared that Lucien's theory was too ridiculous.
The rest of the grand arcanists also showed the same attitude.
\”I see. But in this case, how can we explain magic? How can we explain divine power and the power of faith? Annick, your words did not leave a space for supernatural power.\” Lucien's tone remained gentle.
Annick's mouth slightly opened as he tried to explain, but he did not know how.
\”Lucien, don't connect two irrelevant things to each other. The fact that there is no space for magic in the microscopic domain doesn't mean that there is also no space in other domains.\” Fernando cut in.
Lucien smiled, \”My theory is still a guess, a guess that can contain the rationality of all the supernatural powers. Neither of us have a solid argument so far, so let's take our time to explore further and do more experiments. I hope that we can find the truth of the world.\”
The arcanists were a bit surprised. For the first time, Mr. Evans did not throw out a series of rigorous experiment designs and theories to claim his victory as he always did. However, they also felt relieved.
After all, this should be the result that one would expect.
At this time, Lucien smiled and looked at the grand arcanists and his students. He switched the topic, \”So far I have some ideas on the three experiments which I haven't been able to carry out. I hope that with our joint effort, we can achieve them, which will provide great support to our explanation of the microscopic domain.\”
\”We all know that different temperatures come from the thermal motion of molecules to different extents. Therefore, in the first experiment, if we can restrain microscopic particles from moving around, we will be able to be even one step closer to the absolute zero. Under this circumstance, also, microscopic particles might be in the same quantum state, so we can test many of our thoughts…\”
He roughly described how to make \”traps\” to catch microscopic particles using strong magnetic fields or laser, and he \”speculated\” how to observe the quantum superposition state using appropriate research steps within an extremely short moment, although they were all theoretical guesses like fantasies.
Every arcanist present was familiar with the idea of strong magnetic fields, and Lucien had put forward the explanation of lasers after learning Vengeful Gaze. Rubies and many magic crystals and gems could amplify a sorcerer's ray spells and produce very high temperature. But of course, there was a limit on distance.
Therefore, it wasn't difficult for the audience to understand the concept that the first experiment was based on. Hellen was listening with special attention, as this idea seemed to be reasonable for explaining many of the questions that she had when studying her legendary ice and snow spells. However, as for how the traps should be set up, even if Lucien had had some ideas, he was not going to share them with his audience, as he would save it for himself.
But still, for grand arcanists, direction was always more important than any specific steps!
Oliver did not look too happy, but there was also excitement on his face. If they could see the real superposition state, they would become certain that the secret of the demigods indeed existed in the microscopic domain. However, there were so many great obstacles that had to be overcome first for setting up the experiment, which could not be done within a short period of time.
\”But this is not going to explain how this state transits from microscopic domain to the macro, as this experiment only proves that the superposition does exist…\” said Annick.
Both Annick and Sprint believed that the experiment mentioned by their teacher was of great significance, but they also believed that there was more coming.
