Chapter 421 - 216: Particle’s Love (10,000-word update!!!)_2

This particle numbered 4396 is just like this.

It and the 4685 Λ hyperon were born at the same midnight, not only close in birth position but their orbits of movement are also extremely similar.

Thus, all along.

It has been considered a companion particle to 4685, hence called 4396.

But as time passed.

Particles close to 4396 suddenly discovered something:

can approach any particle and become a companion to any particle, but it cannot have substantive contact with any particle.

At first.

was thought likely to be a Tao particle, which is a τ neutrino.

But soon, this judgment was rejected:

Because all phenotypic features of 4396 are subon-like, without identical particles, and its quantum states can be counted.

Later.

Another strange phenomenon was discovered:

The movement of 4396 is not transition, but teleportation!

This concept might be better understood with a phenomenon in the macroscopic world:

In the game LoL, there is a character called Evil Little Mage.

His E skill can generate a restricted area, and heroes who touch the boundary of this area will have their actions terminated.

For example, Lucian’s E skill, Akali’s E skill, and Gale Force’s dash-like displacement will all be interrupted and terminated when hitting the edge.

However, Flash can jump out of Little Mage’s E skill, belonging to short-distance instant movement.

4396’s movement is just like that.

Thus.

The particles were confused:

Similar to a hyperon, yet bizarre, what kind of particle is it?

We must know, a point was previously mentioned.

Unlike the macroscopic world.

All particles in the nuclear world are prepared for the possible short-term destruction of the world.

Because of this.

The 4685 Λ hyperon would be concerned about the results of 4396’s examination at such times, rather than shouting that the world is going to be destroyed and we need to run.

For the particles in this world.

Their mission is information transmission.

The more information left before death, the more glorious they are.

However, information transmission seems simple to say, but very difficult to implement.

Because the prerequisite for information to be transmitted is to be able to be ’observed’; otherwise, it’s a futile effort.

As everyone knows.

Electrons do not have a definite orbit, and their spatial position is random.

Therefore, people drew electron clouds to represent the probability of electrons appearing at different positions in a hydrogen atom.

After de Broglie proposed the concept of matter waves, Bonn explained the meanings of matter waves and wave functions through probability:

The wave function represents the probability of an event in a quantum system.

Hence the electron cloud was spread into a deeper field:

As long as the quantum states are the same, the particles do not have a definite orbit.

Due to the Uncertainty Principle, the possible location is a "probability cloud."

Thus, there is no way to track one out of multiple identical quantum states, meaning identical quantum states cannot be "numbered."

Therefore, not all particles can be observed when blasted away, 99.999% of particles actually cannot be captured in one experiment.

As to how they determine their ’ancestors’ have been observed?

This involves the issue of entangled states:

The typical carrier of entanglement is the photon; when a beam of a specific wavelength is shot into a crystal, two entangled photons are produced.

If one of the entangled photons is measured, it will lead to the other photon presenting a corresponding collapse state.

In some sense, this entangled state can be described using Schrödinger’s cat, one of physics’ four mythical beasts.

As is well known.

The so-called four mythical beasts of physics refer to Zeno’s tortoise, the Laplace Beast, Maxwell’s demon, and Schrödinger’s cat.

They correspond to the four major areas of calculus, classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.

Among them, Zeno’s tortoise represents the problem of whether it is infinitely divisible, becoming Zeno’s paradox.

Zeno believed that to walk from point A to point B, one must first walk 1/2 of the journey, then another 1/2 of the remaining journey, and then another 1/2...Continuing this cycle, one can never reach the endpoint.

This problem was transmitted for over 2000 years until physicists Newton and mathematician Leibniz created calculus, leading to this millennium mythical beast reaching its end.

The Laplace Beast represents the problem of creationism and determinism.

This mythical beast was born in 1814 and can easily calculate the past and future of an atom in the universe through Newton’s simple formula.

Supported by Pythagoras’s theory that "All Things are numbers," the scientific community once thought the Laplace Beast unassailable.

However, compared to the millennium Zeno’s tortoise, the Laplace Beast was short-lived:

It was defeated by Kelvin and Heisenberg using quantum mechanics over 100 years after its proposal.

Maxwell’s demon represents the issue of the second type of perpetual motion machine in thermodynamics.

Understand its intention.

This mythical beast’s proposal is related to Maxwell.

His proposal was mainly to break the perpetual motion machine and create a machine with the power of Eternal Life.

Maxwell’s demon can manipulate molecular motion at extremely fast speeds, minimizing energy consumption during processes, thereby achieving energy acquisition without energy loss.

But the birth and development of quantum information theory expelled Maxwell’s demon from the territory of the second law of thermodynamics.

Schrödinger’s cat represents the problem of quantum particle uncertainty contradictory to the macroscopic world.
