I would like to dedicate this book to...
To whom? Who's rare!
Dedicate it to the gray wolf. The gray wolf was finally bombarded by the cannon, the gray wolf was finally kicked into the abyss, and the gray wolf was finally... But no matter what, the loser gray wolf always has a "final declaration" echoing across the valley, poignant and heroic, which makes my heart flutter every time:
I will be back!
Nemo returned many times. Nobody, the protagonist of the movie "The Man Without a Name", the last physical natural person in the world. When Nemo was 9 years old, he stood at a fork in the road in his life because of the divorce of his parents. Little Nemo wanted to choose to go with his mother, and he also wanted to choose to go with his father, and he also thought about going away alone with resentment. The train has started, and Nemo is forced to make decisions and grow up along the path of life he has chosen until he is old. Because the cosmic time is timed back, he can always come back from the dead in the end, and start again and again, so he has the opportunity to make different life choices and interpret different life stories. He said:
I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of not living enough!
Mr. Nemo, who is about to die in 2092, told reporters: "Every experience is true, and every road is the right path." ...... You're too young to understand. "According to the relevant calculations of quantum transitions, the time it takes for a grain of sand to automatically cross space is 60 trillion years, and we are indeed too young in comparison.
Then it will be dedicated to Truman. Truman, the protagonist of the movie "Truman's World", Truman, has been living and growing up in the small town of Taoyuan Island since he was born. Taoyuan Island is actually a huge TV drama studio, Truman is an orphan, his family, friends, colleagues and even the whole island residents, all of whom are actors. Everything that happened to him was a plot that the producer Christopher designed specifically for him. More than 5,000 hidden cameras on the island show his life 24 hours a day to the audience of the world, Truman's entire life, turned out to be a super soap opera that broadcast day and night and lasted for 30 years. The only one who did not know was Truman himself.
Tnuman, real people also. Only Truman and the "Creator" Christopher are real on Taoyuan Island. Truman, who finally knew the truth, broke through the layers of obstruction set by the crew, found and smashed the studio wall disguised as blue sky and white clouds, and resolutely left this fictional world. Christopher tried to retain the star he had created: "Listen to my advice, the outside world is as false as the world I gave you, the same lies, the same fraud. But in my world you have nothing to fear, I know yourself better than you do. Truman's response was:
If I never see you again, I wish you a good morning, a good afternoon, and a good night!
Truman's story tells us that illusion can be a very big chess game. Truman's doubts have finally been solved, but who will prove to us that there is no bigger chess game? Even like "Inception" and "Hacker in Other Dimensions", layers of dreams, layers of virtual worlds, endless, none of them are real. You need to be careful to verify for yourself, you must be more rigorous than pinching your thighs to verify the dream, do you have the freedom to go to the edge of the city at any time to investigate? Is there the freedom to operate a double-slit experiment to explore the truth of the quantum? Of course, even if you never encounter inexplicable obstruction, there is still no guarantee. Since you can't explain why the observable universe is so huge, why your life experiences and workplace situations are so absurd, then you have no reason to doubt that the virtual reality you are in can't be very big and ridiculous.
And dedicated to the late Joe. Joe, brother of physics 'The Last Superhero' John Archibald Wheeler, participated in the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb during World War II, while Joe fought the Allied front in Italy. In 1944, Wheeler received a postcard from Joe with only two words:
Hurry up!
Joe knew what his brother was doing, and Wheeler understood the meaning of those two words, 500,000-1 million lives would be lost every month of war. On July 16 of the following year, the United States detonated the first atomic bomb in human history, and at this time, Joe, who was far away in Florence, "had died in a scattered soldier pit on the hillside" The sad story of the brothers, not science fantasy" there is not much time to find answers! The late arrival of the atomic bomb left Joe with hatred, and the quantum mystery introduced a spooky worldview to humanity. In 1999, Wheeler wrote: "Behind the glorious image of quantum theory is shame. Why shame? Because we still don't understand what produces quanta. Is quantum a sign of a self-created universe?"
I was as anxious as the Wheeler brothers. I have a relative and two friends who once suffered from a terminal illness within a year, and then added one person almost every year. I was inexplicably horrified. Because, the death thing, for me, has always been just a social news that happened on my mobile phone, but now it has gradually become a shocking personal experience. During this time I was deluding into the so-called darkest philosophical question: Why is there everything and not nothing? And then there's the darkest physical question: Is everything real? What exactly is time and space? Back in the beginning, when we visited the universe, and even the existence of the universe itself, there was no invitation and no reason, so why did there be such a clear and involuntary ending mechanism? It's not scientific!
Quantum theory gives humans the opportunity to hint at the passage of space and immortality in time. We don't care about the technical application of quantum theory, let alone to get one more professional credit. The expectations of me, the Wheeler brothers, and all of us are actually the life encounters of gray wolves, Nemos, Truman and the like, their many choices or return to reality. But don't you immediately ask where those multiverses are?" How far is it from the city center? "(Woody Allen) Wasn't it enough that Columbus accidentally discovered that the New World wasn't India but the Americas! As for how Mr. Nemo manipulates the re-choice of life path, how do we achieve time travel and immortality, are other universes playing out our past and future lives? Or is our planet a bigger paradise, where is the back door of the studio? ...... Cough, I have to quote the Nobel prize winner in non-physics Bob Dylan to answer:
The answer, my friend, the answer is blowing in the wind!
The above content is selected from "Contradiction Superposition"
📖
"Paradox Superposition: A Super worldview of quantum theory"
Quantum theory and its worldview that everyone can read.
Looking at quantum theory from a philosophical and worldview perspective is the biggest feature of this book.
★ "Little White" level of reading difficulty
There are no complex derivations and formulas, the simplest mathematical formula has only one number, and the simplest physical formula has only three letters, which can be called "little white" level reading difficulty. Humorous and vivid language and wild thinking gradually lead the reader into profound mathematical principles and wonderful physical thoughts.
★ A philosophical and worldview perspective
Quantum theory is an iceberg with quantum physics on top and quantum philosophy below. Quantum theory from the perspective of philosophy and worldview, such as the contingency of world existence, the illusion of material reality, and the complexity of the structure of space-time, are the biggest features of this book.
★ Illustrated and textual presentation
Elaborate schematic diagrams, vivid and interesting cartoons, and pictures and texts present theoretical knowledge and experimental content, so that you can quickly understand quantum theory.
