Chapter 273 Stubbornness
Chapter 273 Stubbornness
For the next whole week, Kang Chi ate and slept in the laboratory, frantically attacking every entanglement theory that might have a flaw.
Seeing that Kang Chi, who was a little obsessed, was becoming increasingly unkempt, Chen Hai couldn’t help but find Yan Hui and asked Kang Chi what research he was doing recently.
”It seems to be about quantum entanglement… This thing is too brain-burning, I don’t understand it either.”
”Well, how about you help me persuade him to combine work and rest appropriately, and don’t ruin his body…”
”Why don’t you persuade him?”
”I tried, but he didn’t listen at all.”
”Then my words are even more useless. Don’t forget that he is the boss.”
”…”
Chen Hai couldn’t help but feel helpless.
Kang Chi is his responsibility. If there is any problem with his physical or mental state, the leader will definitely take action against him…
However, fortunately, a visitor suddenly came to Pangu Base.
When Chen Hai learned that Ren Zhou was coming to visit Kang Chi, he immediately felt that he had found a savior and quickly explained Kang Chi’s condition to him.
In fact, Ren Zhou came this time because he heard about this matter from Chief Shen. He thought that Kang Chi might have accidentally got into a dead end, so he came to see the situation and exchanged ideas about the drone carrier that Chief Shen had mentioned to him last time.
So he nodded directly and said, “I’ll try my best.”
After the two rang the doorbell, they waited at the door of Kang Chi’s laboratory for a full ten minutes before the door opened.
Chief Shen had already informed Kang Chi by phone about Ren Zhou’s disapproval of the drone carrier, so when he knew it was Ren Zhou through the surveillance, he was somewhat surprised.
“Mr. Ren, how come you have time to come here?”
”I just happened to have a day off today, so I came to visit and relax.”
”Is that so? How about I take you to Dongyang?”
”That’s no need to bother you. I’ve been to Dongyang a few times before…”
After watching the two of them go in, Chen Hai was very tactful and didn’t come in. The door was quickly closed.
While Ren Zhou and Kang Chi were chatting, they were also looking at the laboratory. However, after just seeing the huge base outside, it seemed that nothing was so shocking now…
”What are you studying recently?”
”Quantum communication or something like that.”
Quantum communication?
Hearing that it was not electromagnetic waves, Ren Zhou was a little surprised. It was obvious that Kang Chi and he had the same idea. This was a good thing, but also a bad thing.
To engage in quantum communication, isn’t it just a dead end?
Ren Zhou simply glanced at the manuscript on Kang Chi’s desk and said, “Is it convenient to take a look?”
”Just take a look, it’s all waste paper anyway.”
Ren Zhou nodded, and then he took a close look at the densely written draft, then picked up a piece and read it carefully.
[Considering that |B> satisfies (σI+Iσ)|B>=0, that is, the spin singlet with zero total angular momentum, then (σI)|B>=-Iσ|B>, so…]
Ren Zhou immediately raised his head and looked at Kang Chi: “Are you… studying Bell’s inequality?”
”Well, it’s a key point for quantum mechanics.”
”But hasn’t it been proven to be invalid?”
”I know, the Nobel Prize in Physics two years ago was given to Asper and others.”
Although Kang Chi seemed calm on the surface, he was actually a little entangled in his heart.
Because once the Bell inequality proved by these three experts is not true, it means that the largest window in the application field of quantum entanglement theory has been closed. And he hopes to find a crack in this dense window…
But for now, he still has no progress.
Whether from the perspective of mathematics or physics, Kang Chi can’t find any flaws in this theory.
Of course, the inability to find flaws may also be due to Kang Chi’s lack of attainments…
However, Kang Chi was not frustrated by this. Although he didn’t know what level of theoretical attainments he had, at least it was very easy to understand these materials.
And it’s normal that he can’t find the flaws that the world’s top scholars can’t find.
Perhaps, these are indeed the truth, and this road has been blocked from the beginning.
Or, there is something wrong with their experimental data.
But if there is a problem with the experimental data, it will usually be quickly exposed by others’ repeated verification experiments. If it isExperiments that cannot be repeated will only be shelved and cannot be defined as truth.
Ren Zhou nodded, put down the draft in his hand, picked up another stack and started reading. After about half an hour, he stopped with a headache.
”So you are on Einstein’s side and want to prove that Bell’s inequality is true?”
Although he is not a researcher in this field and he cannot understand most of what Kang Chi wrote, this does not prevent him from roughly guessing Kang Chi’s research direction through those parts that he can understand a little bit.
“I haven’t considered the question of standing over there.” Kang Chi explained, “The main reason is that if we can’t find the hidden variable, we can’t use quantum entanglement to communicate.”
”But they have proved that hidden variables don’t exist. What you are doing is challenging the truth. What we researchers fear most is getting stuck in a dead end. This is a complete waste of your life…”
Kang Chi shook his head: “But how do you know that this must be the truth?”
”The truth in the past was that the sky is round and the earth is square, but what happened later? The classical mechanics in the past was the truth, but in After entering the microscopic world, it doesn’t work either, so we have to rely on quantum mechanics, right?”
”In fact, from this perspective, I personally may indeed lean towards Einstein’s side, not because the EPR paradox they proposed just meets my needs, but because his perspective and scientific view of the world are more in line with my philosophy. I believe that God can throw dice, but I also believe that no matter how complicated the results are, there must be rules. The end of science is metaphysics, but the end of metaphysics may not be science!”
Kang Chi’s words immediately left Ren Zhou speechless.
In fact, many people say that Einstein was stubborn in his later years, mainly because of the debate between him and Bohr and others.
It is because quantum entanglement violates the basic beliefs of old Einstein.
Bohr and others believe that the current quantum mechanics is complete, and two entangled quantums complete ghostly interactions, and there is no reason in the middle.
But Lao Ai believes that quantum mechanics is only a temporary step towards a future definite theory, and that theory does not have the randomness he hates, and can provide a more logical and orderly explanation for how the universe works.
He believes that the corresponding changes between entangled quantum must have an undiscovered hidden variable, and this hidden variable must satisfy local realism.
The two sides have argued many times about whether the dice are thrown by God, but no one can convince the other.
In fact, if you want to talk about stubbornness, both of them are stubborn, including Kang Chi now.
Even from the perspective that scientists usually don’t say anything to the end, Bohr, who insists that quantum mechanics is a complete theory, is the unreasonable person, but his theory has indeed been refuted by no one.
So later, there was the Bell inequality proposed by Bell.
Bell was originally just a scholar in the field of equipment engineering for particle colliders, and his research on quantum mechanics was purely an amateur interest. As a result, the proposal of this inequality made him famous overnight and became a key figure in quantum mechanics.
If it can be proved that Bell’s inequality is true, then Einstein is right, and there is indeed a hidden variable that can constrain and affect the direction of quantum spin.
If it is not true, then Bohr is right, and quantum entanglement is so “unreasonable”.
Later, Aspe and other three research and development teams, through a large number of experiments and demonstrations, finally proved that Bell’s inequality is not true,
Even won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
At that time, the coffin lid of Lao Ai was probably about to be unable to hold down…
