Chapter 3, it seems that the plugin is malfunctioning
It is truly wonderful that you can realize this. I have some beliefs—after more than forty years, it is you who is qualified to have invented me, is it not? Calm down, think carefully, summarize, and see what you have remembered and what you have forgotten
Hatsune praised Gu Mojie, but it was immediately followed by another exclamation from Gu Mojie
Certainly, this statement is entirely unsuitable for our understanding of the macro world: we have been educated since childhood that the macro world is objectively certain, and observation does not affect the outcome. Scoring 130 out of a total of 150 points on an exam is determined at the moment I submit my paper, and it will not change based on whether I choose to check the score or not
The laws of physics, the laws of mathematics, the fundamental concepts of C language programming, and the vocabulary and grammar of English and Japanese are immutable; even if you were to be reborn from 2012 back to 2002, the laws of physics in 2002 would remain the same in 2012. However, the classic programming examples of C language that emerged in the past decade, political events from various countries, and your personal experiences are all aspects that you can change after your rebirth. Therefore, you cannot retain them; once you touch that part of your memory, it will rapidly fade away, although it is possible that some remnants may remain that are not completely erased.

Gu Mojie felt somewhat impatient, his thirst for knowledge fully aroused, and he asked in a low voice: "Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me quickly"
I do not know; I have never even heard of it
Nonsense, it was briefly mentioned in the physics class last semester, and I must have been curious enough to look at some materials. In the standard double-slit interference experiment, when photons pass through the first set of slits, their behavior exhibits the physical characteristics of particle-like propagation; however, once the second set of narrow slits behind the first set is introduced, the light passing through both sets of slits begins to exhibit the physical characteristics of wave-like propagation.
I have summarized it. What I can still recall in my mind are merely some science and engineering courses I studied in university, as well as knowledge of foreign languages such as English and Japanese, and the classical masterpieces and various literacy materials I have read. However, significant political events, stock market fluctuations, newly created online novels, blockbuster movies, and the results of the World Cup and Olympic Games in the next ten years, even if I confirm that I have seen them, I do not remember any of it now. Even my own life experiences have become quite vague.
Gu Mojie spoke halfway through, suddenly realizing something, and emphasized with a rhetorical question, "Did you just say that the wave-particle duality was observed at the pseudo-grating before passing through the physical grating?"
The artificial intelligence of Hatsune Miku seems to have evolved a somewhat coquettish tone, expressing dissatisfaction with a soft complaint, and continued to elaborate: "They discovered that if there is only one physical slit grating behind the pseudo grating, the helium atom beam will exhibit particle characteristics when passing through the pseudo grating; however, if there are two physical slit gratings behind the pseudo grating, the helium atom beam will exhibit wave characteristics"
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question, as I do not know either. Hatsune Miku helplessly concluded the conversation
A group of scientists conducted a practical implementation of the theoretical hypothesis of the 'delayed choice thought experiment' proposed by quantum physicist John Archibald Wheeler in 1978. They simulated the light beam in the double-slit experiment using a beam of helium atoms, placing a pseudo-grating made of a specific pure laser beam that does not interfere with the motion of the helium atom beam in front of a physical grating. This pseudo-grating can serve the observational effect of a grating but does not obstruct the helium atom beam in the same way as the physical grating.
Are you saying that not only do light waves choose their final state based on the environments they have passed through in the past, but also that the environments they are about to pass through in the future, which they have not yet traversed, will influence the physical state of the present moment? In other words, it is not the past plus the present that determines the future, but rather the past plus the future that determines the present
Gu Mojie felt that he was almost reaching the limits of his mental capacity, and it took him a long time to digest this statement. However, the frustration did not dissipate with the success of understanding; rather, it became even more disheartening.
Yes, that is exactly what it means. It seems you have already grasped a deeper truth of the quantum world
Indeed, that being said, this experiment must have taken place after 2012, which is why you have not heard of it. This experiment is an extension of 'Schrodinger's Cat' and is also one of the ultimate criterion data that every quantum computer is qualified to store in its core solid state. Therefore, I can tell you—let's start with the basics, the wave-particle duality of light, which you should be familiar with, right
BINGO! You are correct—at least at the quantum microscopic level, this is how John Wheeler's 'Delayed Choice Thought Experiment' has ultimately been proven. In the moment when time is infinitely differentiated, each present state is jointly determined by the adjacent past and future moments, rather than simply by the past plus the present determining the future as posited by macroscopic physics. At the microscopic quantum level, there exists an interaction among the three moments of past, present, and future—everything in the universe is an interaction, including gravitational force, electromagnetic interaction, strong interaction, and weak interaction, with no exceptions.

Fortunately, Gu Mojie possesses a certain level of common sense, so this kind of vague discussion poses no obstacles
What is so remarkable about that? Isn't it very much in line with wave-particle duality? A single grating behaves as a particle, while two gratings behave as a wave— and so on! No, that's not right!
Knowing is merely a metaphor—a cat is in a box, along with a piece of a heavy element that may decay and release radiation. According to quantum theory, decay is a random event that may or may not occur, without any discernible pattern. It is only when people open the box to observe whether the cat is dead that the result is determined. Schrödinger further abstracted this model by establishing 'observation' as a factor that 'determines' the outcome, suggesting that if the cat is dead, it is because the act of someone opening the box 'saw' it dead. If no one looks, then the cat's state of life or death remains indeterminate, existing in a quantum superposition—potentially alive and potentially dead.
Do you know about Schrödinger's cat? Hatsune Miku did not directly answer Gu Mojie's initial question, but instead posed a counter-question.
Therefore, it is also because of this natural law that after my rebirth, those objective knowledge that will not change due to my will, and those things that do not shift regardless of the interactions between the past, present, and future, can still remain in my mind. On the other hand, those things that can change have been erased with my rebirth, so the memories related to them will also become vague—because those events could happen, and they could also not happen—is that so
This is truly a wonderful feeling, racing against one's rapidly fading memories with pen and paper. Gu Mojie felt that the note he had written just a few minutes ago was as mysterious as the blood-written clues left by the deceased in "Detective Conan"
This is precisely why it is difficult for you to leverage the foresight of 'historical events' that have yet to occur for personal gain—doesn't it suddenly make you feel that your life is more challenging than those reincarnations you see in time-travel novels
Not bad, very accurate, and the summary is quite logical— but can you tell me why this is the case? Is it to create some difficulty for my rebirth, preventing me from taking advantage of foresight like other time travelers to gain an easy path?
The manifestation of each photon as either a wave or a particle seems to be related to the means of observation—whether one observes behind the first set of slits or behind the second set of slits. At the microscopic quantum level, this also appears to be a corollary to Schrödinger's cat.
"The Legend of the Seeking Qin" is a work written by Hong Kong author Huang Yi in 1991, and now Gao San's Gu Mojie has already read it. Therefore, there is no need for knowledge from later generations; he can probably understand the concept of "time-travel novels," even though time-travel novels in the realm of online literature had not yet emerged in 2002
To illustrate, if a physical grating is likened to a door equipped with a card access system, then the door not only can block individuals from passing through but also can record their passage; whereas a pseudo-grating is akin to an alarm system with infrared beams, lacking a physical door, it does not obstruct individuals from passing through but retains the functionality of recording their passage—so, what do you think scientists observed after adding this pseudo-grating
Macroscopic physics only perceives that the present and the past act upon the future, yet it does not acknowledge that the future also acts upon the present in conjunction with the past. This represents the greatest blind spot. The interaction between two points on the timeline is mutual; however, in the macroscopic world, due to the continuous branching of parallel spacetime, the future's reaction to the present remains unobservable.
The voice of Hatsune Miku has finally transitioned from an initially age-indistinguishable, enchanting frequency to a more seductive tone of a young girl, seemingly filled with anticipation. It is hard to believe that perhaps a cold machine can possess emotions, or has artificial intelligence of the future developed to such an extent
Under the gentle guidance of Hatsune Miku, Gu Mojie pondered for a long time, reviewing the thoughts in his mind thoroughly. He then spoke in a hoarse voice:
Wait! That's not right! Gu Mojie seemed to be reminded, responding in astonishment: "Why have I forgotten the experiences of the last ten years of my life, yet I can remember 'Schrödinger's Cat'? I am quite sure I didn't read this in high school; I only gradually came across it in university out of personal interest... However, I don't remember the title of the book either."
Hatsune Miku seemed to let out a more expectant sigh and said: "You are very clever, and you have summarized it well—therefore, the knowledge that 'whether you know it or not, will not change because of it' can be completely preserved at the moment of your quantum retrocausality. The parts that you might change will suffer from severe erasure effects during quantum retrocausality. This is a fundamental law when quantum data completes the timeline retrocausality—also the only highest principle that must be locally cached in Hatsune Miku No. 1. The parts that you might change will suffer from severe erasure effects during quantum retrocausality. This is a fundamental law when quantum data completes the timeline retrocausality—also the only highest principle that must be locally cached in Hatsune Miku No. 1. This principle, I can answer without connecting to the cloud database.
What is a time-travel novel? I don't seem to remember. It seems I haven't read any—oh, are you referring to something similar to Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" or Huang Yi's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
"Very good, but I can tell you that it is not just that." Hatsune praised Gu Mojie and then began to eloquently share a wealth of knowledge that nearly overturned Gu Mojie's understanding.
The "laser pseudo-diffraction grating penetration test" I mentioned earlier is an improved experiment that further validates this theory, conducted by a group of future scientists—specifically, those after the year 2012
Gu Mojie set down Hatsune Miku, placing her beside the pillow, and attempted to fall asleep again. Before turning off the lamp, he picked up the note he had written just before his memory faded, which read "Beware of SARS..." He looked at it again, but could no longer remember what he had intended to remind himself of.
Do you know about the "Laser Pseudo-Dual Grating Penetration Test"
You have expressed yourself very well; it seems that you possess a great talent for physics, and your ability for analogical thinking through visual imagery is also remarkable
