Chapter 847: Cause and Effect

Meng Qian was chatting with He Yating about quantum technology when he suddenly received a message, causing Meng Qian's expression to change suddenly and he walked out of the office.

After he went out, he went straight to the most mysterious laboratory in the company for others, the space-time shuttle laboratory.

"What's going on?" Meng Qian asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Mr. Meng, we have found a direction, which is related to quantum technology."

"So I can't get around the stalk of quantum technology." Meng Qian laughed at himself, and then he knew that the Pure Land Laboratory had successfully taken pictures of quantum entanglement.

When he heard that he had taken a picture of quantum entanglement, Meng Qian was subconsciously a little bit disappointed, because humans took pictures of quantum entanglement in July 2019, and Meng Qian was not dead at that time, so he knew about it.

But after taking a closer look, he found that it was different. The people in the laboratory wanted to show Meng Qian a batch of pictures.

After asking, I found out that the space-time shuttle laboratory conducted a follow-up experiment based on the experiment of the Pure Land Laboratory.

"After the photos of quantum entanglement were taken by the Pure Land Laboratory, we quickly carried out further targeted experiments.

Their experiment focuses on observation, and we want to try logic on the basis of observation, so we have this experiment.

We prepared three sets of identical equipment, and then carried out photon emission with simple mathematical logic, completely random photon emission, and a large number of simultaneous photon emission experiments at one time.

In the series of photos we ended up with, we found these. "

Meng Qian leaned in front of the computer and observed carefully, "Three completely different experiments actually have something in common."

"This experiment itself starts from the microcosm. We have been discussing a question before, what is the action logic of the microcosm? We have more and more grasp of the logic of the macrocosm, but our understanding of the microcosm has always been in short supply.

We have been trying to find the logic of the microcosm, but with little success. After capturing quantum entanglement this time, we realized that quantum entanglement itself is actually a logic of the microcosm, so we tried to give photons a logic to see if it would produce What an interesting experimental result, I didn't expect it to be discovered by us. "

"So what conclusions did you draw from this experiment?"

"Accurately speaking, it is a conjecture, because the space-time travel we are studying, combined with all our previous research content, we are more willing to guess one thing this time, cause and effect.

What exactly is time? We have made too many assumptions. As Newton said, time is a basic structure of the universe, or as Kant said, time is just a concept of consciousness, or many people guess the fourth dimension , energy, a particular kind of wave, and so on.

However, this experiment gave us a new idea for the first time. Perhaps, time is not the same as the time in our impression.

How was the earliest concept of time proposed? In fact, it is a summary of the rules.

To give the most intuitive example, it takes 30 minutes to refill the hourglass. When we observe the process of refilling the hourglass, it takes 30 minutes.

So do all the behaviors shown by the hourglass have anything to do with time? Actually it doesn't matter, it's gravity that makes the sand leak down, it has nothing to do with time, it's not because of time that the sand leaks down.

On the contrary, time is created because the sand has gone through and all leaked to the bottom.

This is what we think now, what drives everything forward must not be time, so what it is may be cause and effect.

For example, it took us an hour to clean the room because we wanted to clean the room, which created the effect that the room was cleaned. From cause to effect, cause and effect created an hour.

And the most important point at this time is the inevitability and randomness of cause and effect.

If cause and effect are completely random, like our desire to clean the house today is completely random, then this conjecture becomes meaningless.

But if cause and effect are not random, everything becomes meaningful.

Just like our experiments, we have found an inevitable basic common point in the microcosm, and we temporarily call it the causal algorithm.

In our current conjecture, the development of the world is disordered, that is, full of randomness, but there is a basic rule for the advancement of the world, that is, certainty. If this certainty is a causal algorithm, it will be interesting .

This means that this is a world based on certainty and constantly random, and this certainty is determined by a causal algorithm. How did this causal algorithm come about? We don't know now, we can't see it or touch it, but one of our guesses is that it may be related to life.

Therefore, according to this conjecture, the advancement of the three-dimensional world we live in is not one-way. Many people think that the three-dimensional world is one-way, because many people think that time is one-way.

But now we think that time is a causal catalyst, and the advancement of the three-dimensional world is not necessarily one-way, and may even be a very complicated trend chart, which is beyond the imagination of human beings.

Then if we can change cause and effect, it is possible to go back in time.

In fact, we have the opportunity to change causality. In the in-depth study of quantum gravity, we saw that if we put a very heavy object in a quantum superposition state, we can design strange scenarios in which causality is wrong. "

"But we need very heavy objects. Is your next step going to create a planet? Or just create a black hole?"

"But at least, this line of thinking offers us a possibility.

Mr. Meng, space-time travel, especially forward travel, is a research project that is anti-human and anti-classical physics. "

Meng Qian calmed down his anxious heart, "It's because I didn't control my emotions well, sorry."

Meng Qian stared at the screen for a while, "Then follow this train of thought and try."

For Meng Qian, this is indeed a hope, and hope is a good thing.

Meng Qian is obviously more concerned about this conjecture than those researchers.

Hope again and again, disappointment again and again, Meng Qian has experienced too many times in this laboratory, after all, this research direction is really too difficult to be human, in a sense, Meng Qian is looking for a spiritual sustenance for himself.

But whenever a glimmer of hope appears, Meng Qian can still feel that he really wants to realize this matter.

However, relying on the conjectures in front of me, I am afraid there is still a long way to go.

With complicated emotions, Meng Qian didn't want to go back to the office, so he decided to walk around the company.

Subconsciously, Meng Qian came to the floor where the first batch of veteran employees of the company were located.

Just as he was about to see what Wei Pengtian and the others were doing, Meng Qian heard a fierce argument when he turned a corner.

"The rest of the group has no objections, but you have the most troubles. Who do you think you are?"

"It's not a question of who I am! It's a problem with the process, and everyone knows about it. I don't believe you don't know it?

It's just that when everyone comes, they don't ask questions when they see any problems. Everyone thinks that since the leader stipulates this way, I will just do it and it's over.

Everyone thinks why I want to be that early bird, but this is wrong! "

"If you think there is a problem, you can resign instead of arguing with me like this."

"I said this not to resign, but to hope that our department can do better. Is there any problem? Just because I told the truth, I have to leave, right? Is this your attitude?"

Meng Qian watched two people quarreling not far away, and other people's discussions came from around him.

"This buddy will definitely be fired. It's really a talent to insult the leader like this."

"Regardless of whether there is a problem with the process, this person can only say that his emotional intelligence is too low in dealing with the problem. In the workplace, emotional intelligence is more important than ability. With his emotional intelligence, he can't get along anywhere."

"Yeah, no EQ means no future these days, buddy, Mr. Meng!"

Finally, someone turned their head and saw Meng Qian. Everyone who was focusing on the quarrel between the two looked at Meng Qian at the same time and fell silent.

However, at this moment, Meng Qian had a dull expression.

"Why are you here?" Meng Qian looked at the man not far away in astonishment, "He Jingtong"
