Chapter 110 Schr?dingers Period (2/2)
”How is that possible?” Wen's eyes widened, and her face was filled with disbelief as she shook her head. ”This is completely different from what my teacher taught me in high school. The teacher said there was nothing faster than light.”
”This...” Hao Ning scratched his head. He couldn't say that Wen's teacher was wrong, so he could only ask old lady Ren to help.
”Young people are incredible,” Miss Ren saw that Hao Ning was troubled, she laughed and nodded her head, ”Although there are some things wrong, in general, you are right. Wen, don't make things difficult for Hao Ning anymore, what he said is the truth, it's just that that speed is not the speed you know. However — ”Miss Ren turned her head back to Hao Ning, ”I still have to correct something, it's not that the speed of quantum entanglement is ten thousand times faster than light's, but the speed of quantum entanglement that can be detected right now is at least ten thousand times faster than light's.”
Hearing Miss Ren's words, Liu Shuai and Wen were even more surprised, but they did not ask.
”You can travel the world without riding or driving. The universe will soon come to an end, and everything will decay after the autumn.” Miss Ren suddenly recited a poem and sighed, ”This is a poem about immortals from an ancient novel. It said the ancient immortals could arrive anywhere in an instant. It's like the principle of quantum entanglement. Of course, all the extraordinary things of quantum mechanics only exist in the microcosm. Our macrocosm is not that magical. ”
”The universe will soon come to an end…” When Liu Shuai heard this, his heart stopped, and he couldn't help but feel sad. This was a poem about the son of the cloud, Zhang Quan, whom he quarreled with two days ago, the father he didn't accept till now.
”Ah, old woman, you're good at everything,” Mr. Chen shook his head and said with disapproval, ”But the idea of confounding reality and legend. Modern science is modern science, how can it be related to myths and legends? ”
”Many legends are significant to learn from,” Miss Ren said, shaking her head. ”You can also be considered an open-minded person, but why can't you admit the meaning of this idea? In the course of quantum scientific research, I have many suspects that quantum mechanics has something to do with the creation of human consciousness — many of the tremendous scientific conclusions came from bold hypotheses and rigorous tests. ”
”Come on, again?” when she mentioned Mr. Chen's specialty, he was spirited. He smiled and waved his hand, ”Modern medicine has proven that the synapses create human consciousness in the human brain …”
”Synapses, synapses, you just can't let it go —” Miss Ren interrupted Mr. Chen impatiently. ”How can such a simple physical study explain the difference in human consciousness?”
”That's because —” Mr. Chen opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he was interrupted by Miss Ren. ”Old Chen, I will ask you a simple question. You said that the bioelectricity phenomena created consciousness among the synapses in the human brain. Does it mean that if you could know the compositions and current states of every molecules and atom of the human brain, and the laws of bioelectricity transmission, you will know what this person is thinking right now and figure out what he will do in the future?”
”This... Of course —” Mr. Chen was stunned by the question.
”This question seems to be a paradox?” Wen thought about it carefully and then said with a frown, ”It seems that if we truly know about the complete composition of a person's brain and the operation of brain, through highly precise calculations, just like a formula, we should be able to know what that person is thinking right now, and what he will do in the future. However, how is that possible? I don't even know what I will think or do in the future, how could others know that?”
”That's right...” When Liu Shuai saw that Wen was thinking about this question, so he followed and said, ”How can it be possible that a person is not the one who knows his or her consciousness best but others? If someone knows what I'm going to do when I don't know it myself, doesn't that mean that the future of my life is already set? ”
After saying that, Liu Shuai and Wen looked at each other, shuddered and shook their heads, ”Absolutely not!”
”This, um...” It was clear that Mr. Chen was also thinking about it. Although he was studying the nerves, he was more practical in solving specific problems. As for the ultimate issues that involved physical aspects, they were not his main lines of thinking.
”Stop saying ‘this',” Old Madam Ren was a little angry, ”You can't justify your idea, but still forbid me to make assumptions. Sigh, as an old professor, you are really living in the past. You are just locking your mind!”
”I lock my mind?” Mr. Chen was already bothered by this question, so when he heard this, he became angry, ”All right, all right, I locked my mind while you are open-mind. You better focus on your revolution and cross the river by feeling the rocks! Be careful, or you might....”
”Dare you say that!” When Old Lady Ren heard the Old Man Chen's words, she hurriedly pointed at his nose and said, ”Dare you to say anything about that again?”
”...” Mr. Chen seemed to know that he had said something wrong, so he shut his mouth and did not speak. However, he was so angry that he could not speak.
”Shit, they're arguing again...” Hao Ning felt helpless in his heart, but he really did not know how to persuade them. One reason was that he was not familiar with the two elders; the other reason was that they were both very accomplished in their fields. If he recklessly began to persuade them, due to his ”speech” just now, the two elders would ask him to judge. In that case, what could he do? At this time, Hao Ning roughly understood why Miss Ren was teaching at the university in Pingjing while Mr. Chen was in Chang An. They both had terrible tempers and had their own opinions in the study. If they could be able to stay together for more than a day without arguing, it would be a ”miracle” in human psychology. It was unknown how the two of them had managed to be together for so many years.
”Grandpa, grandma!”
Wen was about to comfort the two elders, but unexpectedly, a man's voice came from behind. She turned her head back to look, then smiled politely and called out: ”Cousin.”
