“The wise are always in pain, especially those who seek the truth.”

Luo Siyuan said slowly, "He must find answers to all the problems in his theory himself and can't pass the buck to anyone—because he alone walks this path.

Fortunately, enlightened people can multitask and think far faster than ordinary people.

He could also create Stone Spirit puppets to assist him in experiments.

He observed celestial phenomena, speculated on the movement of stars, and predicted solar eclipses and the return times of meteors.

He rushed into the clouds, discovered that there were no Gods of Thunder and Lightning behind the thunderclouds, and proved that ordinary lightning could be avoided with an iron rod or a more complex iron cage.

He excavated fossils, dissected demon and even human corpses, drew diagrams and discovered the phylogenetic relationships of different species.

Using his spiritual sense, he discovered that many kinds of plagues originated from tiny, constantly multiplying microorganisms..."

Luo Siyuan's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "However, the more you know, the more you realize how little you know, and the more frightened you become.

When he accepted me as his disciple, my master, who was already learned in all things, was indeed not in a very stable mental state.

He wanted to prove the last conjecture of his life—that this world is fake."

Du Tinghuai blurted out, "Fake?"

"That's right."

Luo Siyuan said solemnly: "First of all, please clarify a concept. Everything, you, me, air, soil, are all composed of extremely tiny particles.

Similar to the saying 'Take half of a foot-long rod every day, and you'll never run out of it,' but different,

Divide an object until it cannot be divided, and you get a particle.

These particles have different components and are combined in a certain order to form all things in the world and all kinds of wonderful changes.

After proving the particle theory,

Master began to try to argue whether light is a particle or a wave.

At first, he thought light was a particle, which could explain the straight-line propagation and reflection of light, but later the observed diffraction phenomenon and polarization phenomenon,

Made him think that light was a wave.

These two theories have evidence for each other, spiraling upwards,

Every time a theory and mathematical formula was proposed, it would be quickly overturned by another more concise and complete theory, almost driving him crazy.

So, he did an experiment."

Luo Siyuan took out an old iron plate from his sleeve, threw it into the air, and used magic to fix it in place, "He made an iron plate with two very close vertical parallel narrow slits, and used high-strength, thin light created by magic to illuminate the iron plate.

If light is a particle, then the screen behind the iron plate should show two vertical parallel light strips.

If light is a wave, then the screen behind the iron plate should show vertical parallel light strips one after another—the crests of the waves superimpose on each other, the troughs of the waves superimpose on each other, and the amplitudes cancel each other out, thus presenting alternating bright and dark interference fringes.

As a result, alternating bright and dark vertical stripes appeared on the screen.”

While explaining, Luo Siyuan released light from his fingertips, passing through the slits in the iron plate, allowing zebra-striped bright and dark light to be projected onto the ship.

“In other words, judging from this result alone, the possibility of light being a wave is greater.

However, Master was not satisfied. He used magic to design a more precise experimental version—that is, using individual particles instead of light.

The particle itself is a single particle. When it passes through two vertical parallel slits, it either passes through slit A or slit B.

Therefore, two vertical stripes should be projected on the screen.

The result was beyond his expectations.

Interference fringes of alternating light and dark still appeared on the screen—which is completely illogical!”

The people on the ship were completely dumbfounded. They couldn't understand what Luo Siyuan was talking about at all.

But the latter seemed to be casting some kind of spell during the narration process, allowing everyone to understand and comprehend what he wanted to express.

Luo Siyuan said in a deep voice: "Master thought at the time, could it be that the particles collided with each other, causing the particles to exhibit the properties of waves.

So, he only emitted one particle at a time, passing through the double slits, in order to block the possibility of the particles interfering with each other.

However, after several hours, interference fringes still appeared on the screen.

The only explanation is that the particle split into two parts when passing through the double slits, passed through the double slits, interfered with itself, and then merged again, finally becoming a complete particle and hitting the screen.

This brought even greater doubts. How does the particle choose whether to pass through slit A, slit B, or both slits?

So, Master used magic to design an extremely ingenious device that could observe the scene of particles passing through the double slits..."

Luo Siyuan's voice became a little trembling, "As a result... what happened far exceeded his imagination.

After adding the observation equipment, the particles returned to normal particles, and the traces on the screen,

It also became a simple two vertical lines, instead of coherent fringes.

Particles, the particles that make up everything in the world, seem to know that someone is peeking at them! Exhibiting completely different behavior when observed!

Terrified, he removed the device and used his spiritual sense to observe the particles.

The result was still the same!

This also means that the act of human observation can determine the particle itself!

This theory is far more terrifying than admitting that light has both wave and particle properties at the same time!”

“For ordinary people, this doesn’t seem to be anything. After all, most people still believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas, and believe that above all living beings, there is a great will that transcends human understanding.

But for Guang Chenzi, who knew that immortals and Buddhas no longer existed, he could never accept it.

If the observation of a person who has activated his spiritual sense can affect particles,

Then what about animals that have become spirits?

What about plants that have become spirits?

What about the tiny microorganisms that are the source of epidemics?

I have to admire my master's strong nerves. He even proposed a hypothesis corresponding to the evidence, assuming that there is a mischievous immortal Buddha hidden in each particle.

These immortal Buddhas would deliberately make trouble during the experiment and check if anyone was peeking at them.

Of course, immortals and Buddhas are gone, and they wouldn't be interested in rolling dice either.”

Luo Siyuan said slowly: “After a long period of experimentation and prolonged suffering, Master chose to go down the mountain and accepted me as his disciple in the process.

I am the only person in this world who can understand him and keep up with his thinking.

With my assistance, he continued to improve the experiment painfully and happily.

For example, placing the detector (which can be a device or a person who uses spiritual sense) behind the double slits,

Since the particles have already passed through the double slits, the event of 'passing through the double slits' has become history at this time.

So, in this way, can the observation behavior after the double-slit event reverse the cause and effect and affect history itself?”
