Throne of Magical Arcana

"Thunder Hell", Fernando's Magic Tower.

As long as he is still in Allinge and has nothing to disturb him, Lucien maintains the habit of communicating with his teacher about arcane arts and magic once a week, but when he entered the teacher's study today, he unexpectedly saw the Old-school gentleman brooke in white hair set.

Don't they always "like" to communicate with teachers face to face, and prefer to use letters? Lucien thought to himself.

Without waiting for Lucien to say hello, Brook helped his gold-rimmed eyes and said with a smile: "In the past few days, your thesis on the root of magic has caused quite a stir in Allinge, and I have also gained a lot of inspiration from it. Congratulations, the first formal model of the nature of magic."

Fernando next to him muttered: "The 'observer effect' is not a good thing, it will make the world unreal..."

Lucien smiled. His insistence on the reality of the world made it difficult for the teacher to have a good impression of the "Observer Effect", especially since there is no strong evidence for this explanation, and there is no rigorous derivation. The teacher's whimsical thriller "prophecy".

"Thank you. To be honest, I have just started to explore this aspect myself. This paper still has a lot of room for discussion, and the same is true for the 'Negative Energy State Vacuum Ocean'." Lucien said very sincerely. He believed that the teacher He could see it as well as Mr. Brooke, and then he deliberately changed the subject, "Teacher, Mr. Brooke, what are you discussing?"

If you can not face the teacher's yelling, of course it is best not to face it.

"I was very inspired by your ideas on the quantization of electromagnetic fields when you were studying the problem of spontaneous emission. In addition, Annick and Sprint's similar treatment of electronic problems has shown remarkable value, so I would like to learn from you Starting from the idea of ​​'secondary quantization', we thoroughly introduce the quantum theory into the classical electromagnetic field theory, and construct a quantum field theory, so as to deeply discuss electrons and photons, and study the essence of electromagnetic force."

When it comes to the nature of electromagnetic force, Brooke's slightly thin, half-aged face seems to light up with a layer of brilliance, which is because his cognitive world has unconsciously interfered with the real world.

When discussing research in the microcosmic field, he cautiously used photons instead of electromagnetic waves. Obviously, he has accepted the wave-particle duality of light to a large extent. It is not completely repelled, but has a strong desire for research.

Fernando, whose hair always seems to be a little messy, said angrily: "Then he pulled me to study together to solve the problems inside, completely ignoring my research on the reasons for the out-of-control fission reactor and the preliminary theory of weak interactions..."

The "weak interaction force" was named by Fernando referring to the nuclear force proposed by Lucien and Hathaway - "strong interaction force".

He looked unwilling, but his bright red eyes were bright and energetic, which made Lucien chuckle to himself. Teacher, if you don't want to, no one can and no one dares to force you to study the problems related to quantum field theory, but It looks like you're totally having fun, with enthusiasm and drive to build such a system.

Of course, Lucien understands very well that starting from "secondary quantization", the establishment of quantum field theory will definitely go through a long and tortuous process, because at present, there are unavoidable major problems in calculations-caused by divergence. The infinite amount of , which needs to slowly explore new mathematical methods to solve, and this is only one of the more significant difficulties.

"After this period of research, we have preliminarily established a quantum field theory in a general sense, but it has so many flaws that we are going to publish it in advance so that more arcanists can discuss it." Brooke was delighted The thoughtful answer was completely expected by Lucien, "I just met you, and we happened to discuss some issues together."

He extended the invitation without hesitation.

Fernando, who never concealed his emotions, had a slightly broken expression, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn infinity!"

Lucien did not refuse, and he was always willing to participate in similar arcane discussions, which helped him truly and thoroughly transform the knowledge in the soul library into the knowledge he had mastered.

After taking their draft, Lucien quickly browsed through it, and pondered: "Isn't it a relativistic quantum field theory?"

"This is a plan for the future. Now let's solve the general problems first. If you are interested, we can discuss it frequently." Brook did not hide it, and the discussion in his mouth was obviously a discussion with authorship.

It seems that the teacher did not invite His Excellency the Speaker to join this discussion, perhaps because he was worried about the relationship between Mr. Brooke and him? Lucien judged based on this, but what Mr. Brook said was right, research should be done step by step.

"Douglas is busy preparing for his ultra-long-distance space jump, and he has a lot of research, so he has no time to be distracted by more fields. Otherwise, he is happy to do similar work. As for now, for him, discovering planets may be more important than Life is more important..." Fernando said in a loud and authentic voice as if he knew what Lucien was thinking, without hesitation that Brook was beside him.

Lucien himself had researched the contents of the draft, so he quickly joined the exchange between Fernando and Brooke, and put forward some ideas that caught their eyes.

Fernando and Brook were not surprised by this, and they were the first to say that Lucien, who first proposed the quantization of electromagnetic fields, had not done research on this aspect.

In such an atmosphere of discussion, time passed quickly. Brook stood up with satisfaction and picked up his cane: "Although the most important issue is still standing in front of us like the religion of truth, we have finally made progress, Fernando , At the end of the month, I will submit this paper to let more Arcanists see it, and hope that they can come up with more novel but useful ideas."

After the communication just now, he understands that Lucien also has no idea of ​​how to solve the most important problems. Of course, he has already made preparations that he will not be able to solve this level of difficulty in one, two, seven or eight years. Similar Situations, he's been through a lot.

"It is estimated that there will not be more than a hundred arcanists in the parliament who can understand and are interested in studying quantum field theory..." Fernando has always been known for his vicious mouth and good at picking things. "They may prefer negative energy state vacuum sea and The source of magic created by the weird properties of microscopic particles fulfilled all their fantasies."

"Negative energy state vacuum sea, this is indeed a bit beyond reality, because it is difficult for us to imagine that we are living in a negative energy state particle sea and can not feel its existence at all, but it is not impossible, hehe, vacuum may It's really not empty." He sent it out of feeling, "Lucien, what do you think of the negative energy state vacuum sea? It solves the energy and matter problems of your magical conception."

"Actually, I have reservations about it." Lucien replied cautiously.

Brooke was obviously very interested: "Do you have other ideas? It won't be the 'real world' that cannot be studied temporarily, right?"

"I started from the uncertainty principle, Mr. Brook, do you still remember the huge energy fluctuations in a very short period of time described in my paper?" Lucien didn't hold back like he did to the students, but was frank The direction of my own exploration can't be hidden from the teacher.

"Vacuum fluctuation?" Sure enough, Fernando asked directly.

Brook paused for a moment and recalled: "Because time and energy are a pair of quantities that conform to the uncertainty principle, the more certain the time is, the more uncertain the energy is... In an extremely short time range, because of the uncertainty principle, Even if it is a vacuum, there will be a huge surge of energy suddenly, and then suddenly disappear, from an average point of view, it conforms to the law of energy conservation and is difficult to be sensed..."

This is even more unrealistic than the vacuum ocean in a negative energy state. The space around me has been constantly fluctuating with energy waves, but I have no sense of it and have not been affected!

"It can be described as a sea of ​​undulating energy." Lucien made his description close to the sea of ​​negative energy vacuum for easy understanding.

Fernando did not reject the uncertainty principle. What he objected to was Lucien's description of the inherent properties of its material. He believed that there were other reasons for the uncertainty principle. Therefore, he did not roar about the "constantly rising and falling energy sea", but Seriously: "This can also explain the source of energy, and it has something to do with the field theory we study. I think if we continue to study, we can come up with a new model that includes antiparticles."

"In our previous research, the electric field strength and magnetic field strength have become a pair of quantities that conform to the uncertainty principle, that is to say, they cannot be zero at the same time, so there are also constant electromagnetic fluctuations around us?" Brook thought of the past period. time study.

Lucien nodded: "In theory, it is."

Brooke said solemnly and slightly excitedly: "Then maybe we can design an experiment to observe this kind of electromagnetic fluctuation. If this is the case, the vacuum is really wonderful!"

After he left excitedly, Fernando said to Lucien: "During the discussion just now, I think you still have something to say?"

Is this also seen? Lucien smiled: "It's mainly about the definition of matter. Since we have regarded electromagnetic fields as matter a long time ago, why don't we go further? Maybe the field is a basic form of matter..."

"I'll think about it again." Fernando pinched his forehead.

Lucien saw that he was a little tired, so he offered to leave. At this time, Fernando said sternly: "The observer effect is not a good theory, you'd better not get too obsessed."

Then, he was silent for a while: "...But your conjectures about the 'unsteadiness' of the basic level of matter, the conjectures about the source of energy and matter, and the conjectures about the undulating sea of ​​vacuum energy all have certain research value."

Lucien suddenly laughed, teacher, if you want to praise me, just say it.

"Weak observers... Negative energy vacuum sea..." In the holy city of Lance, Pope Benedict III sighed in a low voice while looking at the sunset outside the window.

Sorry for the lateness.
