Throne of Magical Arcana

"Indeed not." Lucien admitted "frankly".

Hathaway was silent for a while, seeming to organize her words: "I think your comments are too high, and it will make arcanists have aggressive and unrealistic fantasies, although applying the volatility of electrons to the new alchemy model Here, it is true that part of the imposed quantization conditions can be derived naturally, but this evaluation of a hypothesis without any experiments and signs to guide it does not use the serious and practical arcane atmosphere to develop."

Her words were a bit messy, but Lucien still managed to understand. Since she regarded electrons as waves that could solve some of the problems of the current new alchemy, her assumptions about Dieppe were not as conservative and stubborn as imagined. A certain amount of psychological preparation has been made, after all, for her, the perfection of the new alchemy is more important, and it is her future direction.

Moreover, she used "fluctuation" to describe electrons instead of "electrons are waves", obviously attributing the problem to the special properties of certain particles, just like the explanations of light quantum diffraction and interference images by supporters of particle theory— Although these conjectures are full of contradictions and none of them have been taken seriously, it does not prevent Hathaway from referring to similar ideas.

What she really wants to refute is the comment given by Lucien. She thinks it is too high. You must know that any unbelievable and bold assumptions in the past were related to the discovery of certain problems and loopholes, such as Lucien's The light quantum hypothesis is based on the fact that the wave theory cannot explain the photoelectric effect.

But this time Dieppe's hypothesis is purely a product of broad thinking, pushing the wave-particle duality of light to all microscopic particles, but whether light is a particle or not has to be questioned, and there is no indication that it is not How can it be promoted rashly and blindly in the particle world due to its unique properties?

Most importantly, this hypothesis only seems to be able to solve the problems of new alchemy, but it does not explain the photoelectric effect as clearly as the light quantum hypothesis. Even before there is no precise experiment, it is consistent with all current experimental results. Therefore, for Hathaway thinks that Lucien shouldn't think so highly of such a hypothesis. It will cause other arcanists to put forward completely divergent and fanciful hypotheses specifically for theories that have no problems before, so that rigorous exploration, practical research, and careful application The ethos of arcane arts has been completely corrupted.

To put it simply, she felt that Lucien's praise for Dieppe's hypothesis would create a trend of speculative arcane research.

Hathaway's language skills were well understood by all the members of the highest jury present. Oliver worried that Lucien didn't understand the point, and added specifically: "Your evaluation of Dieppe's unfounded thesis will make other Austrians The sorcerers feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, because they can accuse a classical theory of being wrong without any problem discovery, and then start from this fantasy and use mathematical methods to obtain a rigorous deduction process. As for how ridiculous the final result is, they I don't care."

"For example, I can directly accuse you of being a spy of the church without evidence. With this premise, I can rely on your actions, and then use rigorous but selective deduction to prove that you published subversive papers. It is to blow the heads of more magicians, and even let us members of the highest council die directly, so as to achieve the goal of destroying the magic council. Don't you think this is absurd? You still want to encourage such behavior?"

Lucien said seriously: "I got some inspiration from the hypothesis that electrons are waves, and I seem to see the dawn of solving the problem of new alchemy, which is why I gave such a high evaluation. If this hypothesis can solve the problem of new alchemy The question, that in turn, confirms it as well."

"Besides, since photons can have wave properties, why can't electrons? Can't neutrons? Protons can't? In the microscopic field, this is a relatively well-documented hypothesis, not pure fantasy."

In the arcane discussion, Lucien is a person with his own persistence. He cannot admit that his evaluation is too reckless just because of the accusations of the two great arcanists. He admits that Dieppe's thesis is indeed too bold and too unrealistic. The professionalism and authority of his own comments is not fair, and it is not fair to Dieppe's efforts.

Even if I haven't done experiments to prove it, I will still have the same persistence. Those who can make me give this comment must have some merits. stubborn people.

"Since when is light recognized as a particle?" Vicente, a pale middle-aged man in a black cloak, said coldly, the dark red flames in his eyes beating quite violently.

Hathaway looked at the Lord of the Dead and said, "Whether you admit it or not, the photoelectric effect and Brook's scattering experiment are there, clearly showing everything."

"But I think that the scattering experiment and so on may have an explanation of the wave, such as..." Oliver said his own idea, constructing a special wave that can show particle nature.

Douglas frowned and said, "There are no experiments or theories to support your idea."

"This is not a direction." Brook said concisely.

...

All of a sudden, due to the dispute between the wave theory and the particle theory, the entire Supreme Jury meeting room became very noisy. Gradually, as the quarrel deepened, they even experienced emotional fluctuations.

"Let's build your special complex first, Oliver." When Klaus spoke, there seemed to be countless light spots emerging behind him, forming phantoms of different alchemy things, including golems, puppets, and floating cities. There are alchemy fortresses, magic steam trains...

Oliver shook his finger: "No matter how you look at it, this is also a way to explain the photoelectric effect and Brooke's scattering experiment. And, before discussing my question, you'd better re-examine the particle theory, maybe there have never been any particles, they all It is a special embodiment of waves."

Scenes of destruction appeared one after another around him, staining the conference room with an aura of doom.

"If all particles are waves, are the elements composed of these microscopic particles waves? Is the life composed of these elements waves? More precisely, are we waves?" Vicente disagreed with Oliver on this inference, He's the authority on body and soul, and it's hard to believe that flesh is Bo? How could that body with a real sense of touch be a wave?

The black tombstones that rest peacefully and forever seem to grow one after another on the carpet of the meeting room, and a silent death envelopes everything.

Oliver waved his hand, indicating that his words were not rigorous enough, and said again: "To be honest, although I appreciate Yu Dieppe's hypothesis, I also want to give him a high evaluation of opening the corner of the world, but at least for now, I don't yet believe that electrons are waves."

As he spoke, he used magic to directly construct a scene of electron movement in the cloud chamber. The pale mist droplets formed a wonderful electronic trajectory, full of dreams and shocking flavors.

"I don't dare to believe that an electron with such an obvious particle trajectory is a wave. However, since Lucien agrees with Dieppe's hypothesis, does it mean that he also agrees that waves are the essence of light?" At the same time, Oliver set his sights on Lucien.

He was using Lucien's comment to attack his own light quantum theory.

"I said, maybe electrons can show volatility under special circumstances, such as when they are bound around the nucleus." Hathaway stood in Lucien's camp again at this time.

Helen is one of the few legendary magicians who does not emerge from the projection of the cognitive world. She has been quietly listening to the dispute between the proponents of the wave theory and the supporters of the particle theory. After that, I was very confused, why light has both wave and particle properties, is it true that as Evans said, we should look at this issue from a higher level?"

"It can be explained from the theory of fluctuations..." Oliver emphasized his opinion again. A person who can become a great arcanist must persevere.

Seeing that the two sides were about to start a "frank and friendly conversation", Douglas quickly gestured for them to be quiet, and all the visions in the conference room disappeared immediately, and the hellish scene returned to the real world.

"The confrontation between the wave theory and the particle theory has been going on for a long time. There is no need to delay today's time. Since Lucien insists that his comment is not a problem, and it is not the result of the review of the paper, it seems that there is no need to discuss it anymore?" Douglas looked around. Everyone glanced at it.

Oliver nodded lightly: "Let me ask one more question, I believe everyone is equally curious, Lucien, in your mind, is light a wave or a particle?"

"Also, are electrons waves or particles?" Vicente added coldly.

Hathaway, Helen and the others also looked at Lucien, curious about his true arcane position.

And since the visions appeared frequently, Lucien has been quietly watching this situation, which is completely different from any scene. This is a unique scene that can only appear when the Supreme Jury is in a meeting.

At this time, hearing their questions and feeling everyone's gazes, Lucien did not refuse to answer, but looked at the abnormal teacher with a little worry, and asked seriously: "What is a wave? What is a particle?"

kindness? The members present were at least the arcanists of the Nine Rings, and they didn't expect Lucien to ask the most basic concepts, so they were a little stunned for a while.

"Lucien, this is not the time for lectures, although your nickname is Professor." Oliver said consciously and humorously.

There are only two dark red flames in Vicente's eye sockets, and only thin skin covered with bones is left on his face, making it difficult to see his true emotions: "The definitions of waves and particles can be found in basic books on arcane arts. It has been mentioned that everyone's time is precious, if you don't want to answer, then keep silent."

"Wave is a phenomenon. It was originally defined from various fluctuations in nature and used in the research of arcane arts. The specific definition is..." Hathaway did not scruple Vicente, and roughly defined the definitions of waves and particles. Talk about it.

Lucien smiled and said: "It can be clearly seen that the definitions of waves and particles come from us, from our experience summarizing the real world that can be directly observed."

"What's the problem?" Brook crossed his fingers against his chin, as if guessing.

Douglas, Begna the Prophet, and Hathaway seem to have thought of something, and each showed a thoughtful expression. The difference is that Hathaway's expression has hardly changed, and it is difficult to detect if you don't look closely. silent attitude.

Lucien didn't answer directly, but looked at everyone and said, "If you don't think it's a waste of time, I want to tell a story first."

"No problem." Oliver has always been tolerant of stories.

Since he spoke, the other members of the highest judging group will naturally not object to such a trivial matter, and they believe that Lucien is definitely not telling random stories to perfuse everyone, and must have his own intentions. Besides, the previous quarrels and questions were all based on What's the point of telling a story if it's more than arcane, not specifically aimed at Lucien? It's okay to say ten!

"Once upon a time, there was a king who got a dragon that had just died. He was very happy and placed it outside the palace as a symbol of his bravery, so that every nobleman and commoner who passed by could see it." Lucy En said in a gentle voice, "One day, a group of blind people who didn't know about the dragon heard about it. They were curious about what the dragon looked like, so they came together outside the palace and stroked the dragon's corpse."

Hearing that a group of blind people wanted to figure out the appearance of the dragon by "touching", Oliver, Klaus and other relatively cheerful members of the highest jury all smiled, while others guessed the result.

Lucien continued: "With the help of a soldier, a blind man touched the dragon's wings and said happily: 'The dragon is a terrifying big bat!'"

"'No, the dragon is a big lizard!' Another blind man who touched the dragon's scales retorted loudly. Before he lost his eyes, he had caught a lizard and touched its scales."

When hearing the words of the first blind man, most of the members of the highest judging group showed smiling expressions, but after the second blind man's answer appeared, they all became dignified. Douglas, Hathaway and others had guessed and agreed. Those who were mentally prepared nodded slightly.

"I don't want to talk about the answers of the other blind people. I just want to ask, is the dragon a big bat or a big lizard?"

"Neither." Helen probably knew what Lucien meant, but she still answered seriously.

Lucien smiled and said: "So, to me, light, electrons, etc. are neither waves nor particles. The only thing that can be confirmed is that they belong to matter. Of course, I prefer to call them particles."

"Neither waves nor particles?" Oliver frowned slightly, "You want to say that they are actually something else?"

Lucien looked around the conference room: "We cannot directly see electromagnetic waves including visible light, nor can we directly see particles in the microscopic field. Our research on these fields is like blind people, so we can only rely on Observable phenomena cannot be blindly imposed on them by definitions and concepts derived from past experience."

"Taking light as an example, when we don't preload it with the concept of waves or particles, we can describe it in this way. This kind of matter shows obvious wave nature, and also has obvious particle nature. What range of frequency is it? What is the speed in various media? As for what the substance with these properties is called, that is not the point, it can be defined as anything. How to combine it in it is what we need to study further, and the experimental results and real phenomena must prevail.”

"The reason why we are arguing is that we mechanically apply the concepts and definitions of the past to the microscopic field, and apply them to the place closest to the real world. I once said that our experience will deceive us. This is the essence of performance. One, and that deception doesn’t just show up in research, it’s in our interactions with other people.”

Having said that, Lucien once again looked around at the members of the Supreme Jury with different expressions, and said seriously:

"Only by learning to temporarily abandon the original concept and firmly base it on the current phenomenon and experimental results can we 'see' the reality of the world in this microcosm."

After Lucien finished speaking, there was a weird silence in the meeting room, each of them had different thoughts.

"There is no original concept to use to study the microcosm, and the experimental results and phenomena also need to be processed and constructed into a system." Oliver agrees somewhat, but more doubts.

Lucien simply said: "Mathematical tools."

"I don't know what it is, how do I know what mathematical tool to use?" Vicente didn't quite agree.

"Experimental results that can be directly observed can be applied to previous concepts and definitions, but those that have not been directly observed cannot be applied. However, they can be deduced from the experimental results, and guesses and hypotheses can also be put forward, and then confirmed by rigorous experiments." Lucien Expounding his own point of view, this is due to the influence of magic, soul, feedback and other strange things in the real world and the study of quantum theory, which gradually formed and solidified the point of view.

"So guess that electrons are waves? But there is no rigorous experimental confirmation." Vicente continued, and after a long circle, the topic returned to the beginning.

Douglas nodded slightly and said, "I think what Lucien said makes sense. We see something because light is reflected into our eyes. Magnification magic is also based on the same optical principle, but light reacts with electrons. It will cause it to "jump", that is, change its state, so at least so far, it is difficult for us to think of a way to directly observe the microscopic world, we can only rely on the results of various experiments to make assumptions or interpretations from induction Or when interpreting, we cannot substitute too many original concepts, which will constrain our thinking and blind our hearts."

"But no matter what, it is still too unrealistic to directly guess that electrons are waves. At least the current experimental results show no sign of this, and they all show particle nature without exception." Oliver shook his head, and Hathaway and others said Slightly nodded, agreeing with his opinion, at least the particle nature is an obvious experimental result, and it is difficult for people to associate it with volatility from the clear trajectory.

However, they also preliminarily accepted that in arcane research, in the microcosm, the original concepts cannot be blindly substituted.

"Abandoning the original concepts, can we see the reality of the world?" Brook smiled slightly, "But we who have learned arcane arts since childhood and accepted various definitions and concepts may accidentally substitute the original concepts in our research. concept without knowing it, and, maybe sometimes, bringing in the original concept makes things easier."

Douglas looked at his pocket watch and said, "It's getting late, and Lucien has also expressed his views. You can communicate in private."

"Well, I will try to reconstruct the new alchemy model with the concept of electronic waves, and give its wave function to see if it can solve the problem, so as to verify this hypothesis." Brook is very interested in this direction, and seems to have found Reshape the way you perceive the world.

Oliver also nodded and said: "I will also put my ideas into the concept of electronic waves, try to construct its wave function, and hope to gain something."

Hathaway didn't express anything, and when she could be silent, she always remained silent.

The "Master of the Dead" Vicente said to the Master of Storms with a mocking smile: "Old pervert, why have you kept silent? Could it be that because he is my student, you don't want to yell at him in front of us? You are very persistent in the realm of truth."

After he said this, the other members of the Supreme Jury came to their senses, and the Storm Master hadn't spoken! We must know that in the past when such disputes occurred, the conference room must have been dominated by lightning and thunder, heavy rain, roaring and shaking the sky, but today it is so abnormal?

Storm Master Fernando seemed to be suppressing something. After glancing at Vicente, he glared at Lucien: "Take it out, they should be able to withstand such an impact."

"Take what?" Lucien pretended to be stupid.

"What?" Other members of the highest jury were full of doubts.

Fernando roared violently: "When you give a comment, I know you have completed the experiment! Take it out, let us see what is the truth of the world! See what it is to give up the original concept!"

"Do you think we can't even bear such a shock? Especially in the unknown field!"

Done with the experiment? Oliver, Klaus and others looked at Lucien in astonishment, is it really done? Doesn't Lucien's attitude mean... How is this possible?

Even Hathaway, Helen and other legendary magicians with indifferent expressions showed a little shock and surprise, which made them full of life, as if they only had flesh and blood now.

Douglas looked at Lucien solemnly: "If it's finished, then take it out, the people sitting here won't be so narrow-minded and stubborn."

He added in his heart, especially most of them are supporters of the wave theory, while a small number are psychologically prepared because this hypothesis seems to be able to solve some of the problems of the new alchemy.

Lucien looked at them silently, got a unanimous nod, took a deep breath, took out a large single crystal, and arranged a magic circle casually so that the image could be displayed directly.

Brook didn't speak, but raised his hand, directly emitting electron flow.

Time seemed to freeze, and there was an unusual depression and silence. Not long after, the magic circle lit up, showing a classic picture like an X-ray diffraction pattern!

In the eyes of everyone, this pattern is so familiar, so dreamy, yet so shocking, so unbelievable!

"This..." I don't know how many inner self-talks came out unconsciously.

Boom!

Countless bolts of lightning danced wildly, the sound of thunder struck, and a black storm enveloped the sky;

The surrounding black magnetic field is distorted, and the invisible electromagnetic waves are abnormally disordered;

Stars emerged one after another, exuding bright light, distorting the surrounding space, and hanging down the gravitational force;

White, black, gold, silver, a little bit of elements condense into a sea-like tide;

In the peaceful place of eternal sleep, black tombstones are inserted obliquely on it, filled with a strong breath of death;

The black universe is vast and boundless, one planet after another is annihilated, falling into endless waves of destruction;

Snowflakes fell, the temperature of the whole room dropped by a hundred degrees, and there were crystal clear ice everywhere;

Numerous anomalies emerged and stirred in the conference room, forming a terrifying scene where light, shadow and splendor intertwined, destruction and death danced together!

Boom!

Amidst the illusory thunder and the sound of destruction, they all turned their heads to look at Lucien, and saw Lucien standing there with his hands in the pockets of his black double-breasted long coat, half-repeating Brook's words in a very low voice. say:

"Abandon the original concept to see the reality of the world."

The two chapters will be delivered, and I will ask for a recommendation ticket on Monday~
