Chapter 254 The Witch and Probability

"Failed……"

A minute later, looking at the colorful regular tetrahedron in his hand, Wanda silently lowered her head, dejected.

Not far away, while staring at the data on the light screen, the corners of Saibo's mouth couldn't stop curling up.

Wanda's ability is really as he expected, with the ability to change the probability of events!

After entering the cage, he stroked the little witch's long hair. With a smile on his face, Saibo praised: "Congratulations, you are a girl...you did a good job."

"Didn't I fail?"

With her eyes wide open, she looked at the man in front of her with some puzzlement, Wanda asked doubtfully.

"No, you have succeeded."

Taking the tetrahedron from the other party, Saibo patiently explained: "Although it has not completely turned red, nearly four-fifths of the four sides of the tetrahedron device have been filled with red, and the remaining one-fifth It is equally divided by the remaining six colors.

However, because these nano-probes of the same color are not connected together, they are scattered everywhere randomly, which makes them look colorful to the naked eye. "

Wanda was still not confident: "Really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can check it on the statistical software over there."

Pointing to where he was just now, Saibo couldn't suppress the excitement on his face: "According to the law of statistics, when the number of samples is large enough, these seven colors should divide the seven million probes equally, and each The number of probes of each color should be around one million.

But the actual situation is that the number of red probes is close to 6 million, and the number of probes of each other color is only about 200,000. "

"What does this mean?"

Wanda still couldn't understand why the man in front of her was so excited.

Pressing the little witch's shoulders and meeting her gaze, Saibo said solemnly, "This means that you can change the probability of an event happening."

When watching the "Infinity Legend" series in his previous life, he was very interested in this little witch who could tear Thanos apart, so he went to an encyclopedia to check her abilities.

It was discovered that the scarlet energy of the other party was actually something called 'chaos magic', and as a mutant, he had the mutant ability of 'modifying the probability'.

However, in order to conceal his identity as a time traveler,

He couldn't reveal that he knew this, so he could only deliberately guide and follow the answer process to slowly reveal the little witch's ability.

In addition, a certain encyclopedia can be edited by anyone, and Marvel’s screenwriters often eat books. 90% of the information on it may be true, but the crucial 10% is often life-threatening.

Adhere to the attitude of seeking truth from facts, rigorous and serious scientific spirit.

Cyber ​​didn't dare to jump to conclusions until there was no experiment to prove that the opponent's abilities were these two.

After all? This isn't the 616 universe in the comics? It's a hybrid world with the MCU as the mainstay, and he's not sure if the little witch still has both abilities.

Fortunately? Everything is as he wishes.

In this way, his plan can proceed smoothly.

"Modification probability?"

After repeating her own abilities, she couldn't stand the other party's gaze as if looking at a rare treasure, so Wanda lowered her head. Qi Yi said, "Is this important to you? Or is this ability very powerful?"

Instead of directly answering the question, Cyber ​​asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Do you know what the essential properties of our universe are?"

"do not know."

Faced with such a mysterious question? Wanda shook her head decisively.

"Is it discontinuous? Quantum."

"Watt? Quantum?"

She often hears this word in some popular science programs and sci-fi movies, but she doesn't know what the so-called "quantum" means.

Knowing that the other party would not be able to understand such an explanation, Saibo took the little witch out of the cage and came to the control center not far away? Pointing to the surrounding objects, he explained: "The world we humans live in is called the "macroscopic world" by scientists. '? This water glass looks like a whole on the surface, but in fact it is composed of countless fine particles."

"Well, atoms and molecules, I know."

Nodding, Wanda agreed.

"That's right? But the atom can continue to be 'divided'. It is composed of smaller electrons, various quarks, etc.? These are the most basic particles in this universe."

Calling out the basic particle icon, Cyber's expression gradually became serious: "At this microscopic scale? The laws of motion of these basic particles are very different from those of our macroscopic world, and the quantum effect is very obvious.

And the reason why our world looks like this is because everything we observe is the result of the statistical average of these elementary particles. "

"What does that have to do with probability?"

Wanda was puzzled.

Pili said a lot? It made her more and more confused.

Let Alita project a 3D image of a hydrogen atom? Saibo pointed to the point cloud around the core and explained: "The hydrogen atom is composed of an electron and an atomic nucleus, and the surrounding circle is its 'electron cloud' image.

This 'electron cloud' does not refer to a cloud composed of electrons, but a probabilistic image.

Before you use any means to observe this electron, it can be in any position in the universe. The denser the light spot, the greater the possibility of it appearing in that position after you observe it.

In more professional terms, after you observe it once, the probability that its wave function collapses from a superposition state to a specific eigenstate is greater. "

"The wave function is..."

"You don't need to worry about what the wave function is, or what the superposition state or eigenstate is. I will teach you about these later."

Without giving the little witch a chance to ask questions, Saibo continued: "In short, before you observe the electron, it is impossible to predict where it will appear in the next second, because it may appear anywhere, no matter what. Irregular.

But you can calculate the probability of it appearing in each position, and the probability of appearing in each position is different, not necessarily the same, depending on external factors.

Of course, the reality is much more complicated. "

"but……"

Speaking of this, Cyber ​​deliberately emphasized his tone: "Your ability can modify the probability.

This means that if you want, you can make the particle appear in any position you want in the next second, because you can increase the probability of appearing in this position to 99.99... %. "

"I still don't quite understand how it works."

Rubbing her swollen head, Wanda felt more and more doubts.

"As I said just now, most things in the macrocosm are composed of elementary particles, and everything observed is the result of the statistical average of these elementary particles."

Emphasizing the facts he explained just now, Saibo earnestly said: "Although it is not very useful to change the probability of a particle appearing in each position, what if there are millions of them? Tens of billions? Tens of billions? ...

The equivalent change leads to a qualitative change. If you can successfully change the probability that all the elementary particles that make up this computer will appear in various positions in the next second, you can send it outside the solar system or even the galaxy in an instant. "
