Chapter 643: Chapter 539: Everything is changing, only the speed of light is constant!
At noon, the Wizard Council received the report on the “Delayed Choice Quantum Double-Slit Experint,” which made Harrov furrow his brows before shaking his head with a laugh.
“I think Jeffrey must be joking,” he said, “They actually claim in the experintal report that photons and electrons can predict the future, knowing in advance whether they will be observed, and when passing through the slits they make the choice to behave as either particles or probability waves, deciding whether to pass through a single slit or multiple slits…”
This was too much of a joke.
It was just as ridiculous as Lynn’s assumption of the constancy of the speed of light in the theory of relativity.
“I’m afraid he’s not joking…” Vittorio said with a grave expression as he spoke, “According to the information I have received, nine out of the fifteen great wizards involved in the experint went mad on the spot!”
The smile imdiately froze on Harrov’s face as he stared at Vittorio, taking a while to confirm that the man was not mocking him.
Even Aurora and Anthony, who had been examining the theory of relativity nearby, were shocked; although it was not uncommon for wizards to go mad lately due to their research into microscopic phenona, nine at one ti was excessively exaggerated.
“Have you replicated their delayed choice experint?” Harrov said, still full of doubts and amazent, “Could it really be like it says, that photons and electrons can foresee whether an observation is going to occur, or even reverse causality?”
“Not replicated, but when I treated those wizards, I explored their mories. If these mories haven’t been modified in advance, then what the report says should be true, micro-particles might indeed possess so precognitive abilities,” Vittorio said, his brow deeply furrowed the entire ti.
Because in those mories he saw dozens of modified versions of the double-slit interference experint; Jeffrey and others had tried almost every conceivable thod for validation, and the results were consistently astonishing.
Alade even ca up with a particularly clever thod of recording the entire experintal process and deciding afterward whether to observe or not, but the electrons and photons used for testing could still respond in advance and collapse into probability waves, which was nothing short of horrific.
Vittorio shook his head, then reported good news. “I’ve already erased the related mories from those nine, and now they are receiving ntal treatnt; there should be no life-threatening issues, they’ve just lost the capability to use light and thunder-based magic.”
“That’s a relief!” Aurora sighed in relief, the current council was after all made up of just over a hundred great wizards, and a loss of nine in one go was absolutely unacceptable.
Harrov was still pondering over the precognitive nature of photons and electrons when he was interrupted by a report from an attendant—wizards still in the royal city were gathered in front of Speaker Lynn’s mansion, arguing vociferously.
“We better go take a look!” Vittorio suggested, as if anyone could answer this question, it would probably only be Lynn, who proposed the theory of relativity.
…
anwhile, a large group of wizards was fiercely debating in front of a luxurious estate, discussing the four equations and two basic definitions of relativity as well as the credibility of the delayed choice experint.
“I’ve said it again and again, according to the experint, photons and electrons can accurately predict the future; they can sense it—I even suspect…” Jeffrey said, a look of fear on his face and with a trembling voice, “that they can read our thoughts and mories!”
Alade also said with a manic expression, “Indeed, photons and electrons exist everywhere; they must communicate with each other. Only this can explain how they always know our observation plans precisely.”
The wizards present had strange expressions—how could the claims be getting more and more preposterous? Was this not just a quantum ghost?
“Are you actually suggesting the existence of so-called quantum ghosts? And are you saying all microscopic elents are ghosts?” said Steg, a great wizard, to Jeffrey and others with a sneer. “I recall Speaker Lynn has already explained this matter; microscopic particles have no consciousness…”
“No one is more reluctant to believe this is true than I am, but we conceived more than a hundred thirty thods, all the experints that our abilities allowed, we tried them one by one, and that is the truth!” Alade cursed furiously. “The Elental Ghost, that bitch, can not only read our mories but also foretell the future!”
Sanchez also spoke up, recounting in detail the progress and results of every experint they conducted.
The great wizards, originally there just for laughs, thinking the conclusion was utterly ridiculous, gradually changed from ridicule to solemnity and then to contemplation. Eventually, many of them entertained the idea of performing the experint themselves to verify.
If Sanchez and the others were not lying, it would be too astonishing!
“Perhaps quantum ghosts do exist,” Sanchez said with a sigh. “Although Speaker Lynn is the Star of Magic, no one can be absolutely correct. You must not forget that Speaker Lynn’s earlier proposed star-pattern elent model was proven wrong, even though it sounded very reasonable!”
