On the top floor of the Allyn magic tower, in the studio that had temporarily been arranged into a laboratory, other than Douglas and Lucien, who was working as his assistant this ti, all the mbers of the Highest Council who could co were gathered. Samantha, Louise, and the other personnel of the Sky Television Channel were also waiting attentively and uneasily.
Although they were not clear about the experint that was to be publicly stread, they had guessed a thing or two seeing that the big shots of the Highest Council were both wary and tempted, and that “Brain Eater” Lucien Evans was personally involved in the experint. Was it a decisive and disruptive experint in the microscopic domain? Was it one of the thought experints that the Excellencies proposed earlier?
Faced with the cara, Douglas tried to make himself look less grave. He said kindly and peacefully, “Everyone, I believe that you’ve already known that I beca a demigod.”
In the generic schools and the noble school, Ali, Longman, Jane, and all the other students nodded in excitent, as if they were communicating with the Emperor of Arcana face to face. The unusual phenonon that day was too eye-catching and glorious. Nobody could’ve missed it!
In the Holy City, Viken thought to himself, Is he using the experint as an excuse to officially announce his advancent into the demigod level, in order to increase the morale and confidence of the supporters of the Congress of Magic?
He did not think that any experint was a threat to himself. After all, he did not have a cognitive world anymore, and the heart of faith was completely under his control and would not be shaken. Therefore, he received the signals without worries and drew a wall in his library to display the image.
After learning the way to steal the power of faith and gather godhood from Viken, the Grand Cardinals had a deeper understanding of the “God of Truth” too. They believed that nothing could shake their heart of faith easily. Therefore, they were also watching the stream in various ways, hoping to figure out the Congress of Magic’s purpose as soon as possible so that they could take counterasures.
The red robes, on the other hand, were mostly in a dilemma. They were curious about what the experint was and why it was stread, but they were too scared to watch it directly. They could still see their partners who were swallowed by the holy light and turned into torches or fireworks!
“The celestial bodies’ motion system... Advancing because of the sun... Perhaps you are the real ‘Sun King’...” After hearing Douglas’ announcent, Rudolf II looked at the screen in self-mockery. “I should focus on the path of the ‘God of Truth’.”
His talk to himself seed to be a full stop for his identity as a sorcerer in the past.
On the stream screen, Douglas said with a smile, “It’s indeed important to have beco a demigod, but for , the most delightful thing is that I am now able to explore the realms that I couldn’t with the capabilities of a demigod. For example, I would like to know if there’s another planet that has intelligent lives in this boundless universe. Another example, the two thought experints that Evans, I, and other arcanists devised can be accomplished now.”
Ali was so captivated that he really felt the heart of exploration that was full of passion about the unknown and the faith in arcana that did not change because of one’s strength.
Now that a demigod talked so calmly and casually, he had an even deeper understanding of the charm and the vision of grand arcanists!
As for the other arcanists, knights, and ordinary people who admired the demigod, they also sohow felt that the universe was too vast for any demigod under Douglas’ casual narration.
“Two thought experints?” Viken knocked on the table, speculating which two thought experints they might have been. It was not because he was not smart and keen enough, but because the grand arcanists like Lucien had proposed far too many thought experints.
Douglas pointed at Lucien who was next to him. “The stream experint this ti will be completed by Evans and together so that you will truly see the wonder of the microscopic domain. Honestly speaking, I do not know what the results will be like either. We will face any possible situation together with all of you.”
“The microscopic domain?”
“The microscopic domain!”
The demigods like Viken, Rudolf II, and the Lord of Hell all beca solemn. After Lucien proposed the quantum superposition state and the notions like dispersion and collapse, they realized that it had a lot of similarities to their own existence and dedicated all their attention to the microscopic domain. It was also the reason why they neglected Douglas previously.
They looked at the screen carefully and confird whether or not the experints were affected by other factors through various thods. They vaguely guessed what the thought experints would be.
“Firstly, Evans will demonstrate the double-slit experint with electrons.” Douglas slightly backed off and gave the stage to Lucien.
Lucien took off his top hat and put it on the shelf, as casual as if he were at ho. Such an attitude gradually cald the scared and anxious arcanists.
Then, Lucien began to repeat the double-slit experint with electrons that he did a few years ago.
When the electrons passed through the two slits and ford the classic interferotric fringes on the screen behind, both the ordinary people like Ali, Longman, and Jane, as well as the arcanists like Heidi and Annick, exclaid in amazent. Although they had known the result through personal experints or newspapers, they were still shocked that the electron, which had a mass, montum, and trajectory, could behave as pure waves.
After Lucien installed an alarm next to the slits, confirming exactly which slit the electrons passed through, the interferotric fringes on the screen were gone, and the electrons behaved as pure particles.
“Well...” Even though they had read the record about the double-slit experint from Arcana Voice and newspapers, ordinary people like Ali, Longman, and Jane never had the opportunity to witness the experint in person. The experint was so simple and easy to understand, but the result was too unbelievable. So, they all shook their heads in confusion and disbelief, unconvinced that the interferotric fringes were gone just because they observed which slit the electrons passed through!
Was the electron more marvelous than magic?
Inside the Atom Institution, Heidi, Katrina and the other arcanists watched their teacher conduct the experint solemnly. What was most scary about the experint was not the phenonon but how to explain it!
Annick grabbed a cup nervously, trying to calm him down by drinking water. Sprint, on the other hand, held his hands tightly and stuck them to the experint table before him, not revealing his feelings. They had both guessed which two thought experints would be done next!
What would the result be like?
After interpreting and demonstrating the double-slit experint, Lucien said with a smile, “Next, we are going to transform the experint to minimize the interferences while keeping the chanism the sa.”
Then, Lucien deployed a new experint. Through a demonstration, he proved that it was equal to the double-slit experint just now.
“They’re indeed equal. There’s no problem at all...” Fernando nodded.
The demigods like Viken and Rudolf II did not have a profound understanding of arcana, but as demigods, it was fairly easy for them to decide whether or not the two experints were equal.
“Next, we will conduct the quantum eraser experint, which is a variant of the experint just now. Just now, you must’ve seen that when the two ‘alarms’ next to the slits recorded the electrons as they passed through the slits and sent out alarms, the interferotric fringes were gone, and the particle properties were manifested.
“Now, we will only make the alarms record but not let them send out any alarms, and they will erase the records imdiately after they record the information. What will we see then? Will the interferotric fringes be gone?”
Lucien lucidly explained the chanism of the experint instead of the real experint process.
“Of course, the interferotric fringes will be gone, and the particle properties will be revealed. It’s essentially the sa as the previous experint. The only difference is that we cannot know which slit the electrons used to pass through the alarms now, but can our knowledge affect the experint result at all?” Having studied the basics of arcana for years, Longman had a few guesses about the experint, which seed rather “simple”.
The ordinary students like Ali and Jane and most magic apprentices and arcanists thought the sa. The only difference between this experint and the previous one was whether or not the “experinter” knew the trajectory of the electrons. However, whether or not the experinter knew it shouldn’t affect the objectivity of an actual experint.
Annick did not put down his cup because he had been completely devoted to the experint. Sprint, Heidi, and the others also held their breath and waited for the result, which would either suggest that the world was normal or prove that the world was so unbelievable and illusionary. Which would it be?
Would it be normal or abnormal?
Viken, Maltimus, and the other demigods were even more solemn because it also concerned their understanding of the world. Did Douglas and Lucien really not know the result?
Douglas walked to the experint table. He demonstrated the “erasion” effect with the newly-added experint devices. After everybody saw it clearly, he chuckled. “I’m rather curious about the result myself. Let’s begin now.”
All the people who watched the live stream held their breath and focused their eyes on the screen, waiting for the result of the experint.
Douglas activated the experint. At first, it was the regular procedure, and the interferotric fringes appeared. Then, the quantum eraser experint was begun.
Would the interferotric fringes disappear, and would the particle features be displayed this ti?
The alarms had caused such a result previously!
Ti went by one second after another, but the interferotric fringes on the screen were still so clear, so beautiful, and so classic!
The ordinary people like Ali and Longman and most of the magic apprentices and arcanists could barely close their mouths, and they couldn’t have looked more hilarious. The only difference between the current experint and the previous one was whether or not they knew the trajectory of the electrons, but how could their knowledge affect the result of the experint?
This was too illogical!
There was nothing but quietness in the studio, except for the heavy and hasty breath.
Crack!
The cup in Annick’s hands fell on the ground and broke into pieces, and water splashed everywhere. He kept murmuring to himself, “The observer effect...”
Boom!
Before he knew it, Sprint pushed down the experint table before him.
Pope Viken seed to be both delighted and surprised by the result. He said to himself in a low voice, “The observer effect!”
