This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 821 - 753: Wave-Particle Duality of Light

What is wave-particle duality of light?

It refers to the fact that all particles or quanta can be partly described in particle terms and partly in wave terms.

In the past life, this meant that the classic concepts of "particle" and "wave" lost the ability to fully describe the physical behavior within the quantum realm!

This is a disruptive achievement!

In classical mechanics, research objects are always explicitly divided into "pure" particles and "pure" waves. The former constitutes what we often call "matter," and a typical example of the latter is light waves. Wave-particle duality solved the dilemma of these "pure" particles and "pure" waves.

It provides a theoretical framework that allows any matter to sometimes exhibit particle properties and sometimes wave properties.

Quantum mechanics suggests that all particles in nature, such as photons, electrons, or atoms, can be described by a differential equation, such as the Schrödinger equation.

The solution to this equation is the wave function, which describes the state of the particle. The wave function has superposition, and they can interfere with each other like waves.

At the same time, the wave function is also interpreted as the probability amplitude describing the particle's appearance at a particular location.

Thus, particle nature and wave nature are unified under the same explanation.

Lin Ke has a feeling that as long as he proves and explains wave-particle duality, he can surely advance to Stellar Magnitude.

The accumulation of magic power is not a big problem for him now; lottery, trade, and taxes are sufficient to purchase various treasures that increase magic power.

Refill the magic power, and then use the research on wave-particle duality to directly break through to Stellar Magnitude.

Moreover, Lin Ke doesn't plan to stay at Stellar Magnitude for long, intending to use other research to break through to Legendary!

Only when reaching Legendary can one truly have the power to protect oneself!

Just as Lin Ke was about to sit down, a roar suddenly sounded from behind.

"Andrew's Leg! Lava! Why did you come so late!"

An old man with a flowing white beard roared angrily from the distant laboratory instruments, his head even transforming into a light elemental body.

"Thomas!" Lin Ke helplessly stood up, "You're clearly comprehending the rules of light refraction; why does your voice contain thunder force? Maybe you should consider switching to being a storm sword master!"

The old man referred to as Thomas stood in front of Lin Ke, his speech filled with punctuation marks imbued with the Power of Light, spraying onto Lin Ke's face: "Look! Look! Look at my experiment! Light is clearly a particle! Light is a particle, how can it be a wave!"

"Since light travels in straight lines and reflects when encountering obstacles, this is indistinguishable from classical mechanics! Light is a particle! My theory is not wrong!"

While spraying saliva, Thomas pointed at his research recorded on paper.

Although this Thomas looks like an old human man, a closer look reveals that this old man is actually a dwarf.

A dwarf living in the dark underground actually comprehended the rules of light refraction and became legendary!

However, although he is the ruler of the dwarves, he directly left the Dwarf Realm of the Extreme West Countries after establishing the Great Wilderness University, and ran here to join Lin Ke's research team.

Very willful.

But it also proves this dwarf's dedication to research.

Previously, he was continuously researching light, and later, the research in Great Wilderness City gradually shifted to micro-physics, extending to the question of whether light is a wave or a particle.

Lin Ke naturally gave full support.

But others also extended to this issue...

"Lin Ke! Light is an electromagnetic wave! Look, when light passes through two slits, it produces very obvious interference patterns; I saw it with my own eyes!"

"If light were a particle, according to logic, passing through two slits should certainly form two light beams. Light is obviously a wave!"

Ove, with beard and hair all bristling, came facing Thomas and confronted him.

Both are Legendary Powerhouses, and both have flowing white beards, glaring at each other, holding their research results in hand.

Lin Ke felt a bit helpless, speaking: "You both know very well that light possesses wave-particle duality..."

"Impossible!"

"Light is a wave!"

The two legendary figures simultaneously turned to spray Lin Ke.

Lin Ke shook his head helplessly, then shrugged: "Just right, I am ready..."

Lately, he has been accumulating magic power, and now, magic power is almost fully accumulated.

So, it's time to reveal this secret!

Seeing Lin Ke's expression, Thomas felt settled, but Ove couldn't help but have a jolt in his heart.

"Lin Ke, does light truly possess duality?" Ove's eyebrows twitched wildly, "Not mechanical embedding?"

Lin Ke steadily affirmed with a nod: "Yes, light possesses wave-particle duality... Additionally, I have some new research that I will be publishing... Well, publish in 'Science'."

'Science' is something that practically every Naseng person has heard of. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A kind of thing similar to a newspaper, comics!

The most crucial point is, the target audience for this thing is mostly professionals!

Because what is published in 'Science' generally are breakthroughs in theoretical and applied sciences, Naseng's latest research, cutting-edge theories, etc.

The cognition of professionals is very important.

Whether a [Scholar] or [Knight], if their cognition changes, they will lightly stagnate, become dispirited, and if worse, their soul will break, and their True Spirit will dissipate.

When a [Knight] doubts their original intention, like Garoce's will of "fearlessness," once they doubt or deny their "fearlessness," they may directly vanish.

When a [Scholar] doubts or denies their research, it's similar.

A while ago, Lin Ke held a conference and directly on the cognitive level, broke down a legendary's soul, causing that legendary to die on the spot and turn into rain of light.

Therefore, cognition is very important.

And what is Lin Ke doing?

On 'Science' magazine, making people maintain skepticism, keeping everything open-ended rather than everything being "certain," "absolute," "inevitable."

In this way, many people naturally won't stubbornly hold onto outdated ideas and perish.

Over the years, as Lin Ke's attitude toward truth spread, only then did Lin Ke dare gradually put forward some research.

Like wave-particle duality of light.

Lin Ke has already discussed it with Thomas and Ove in advance, but they stubbornly insist on believing that light merely possesses wave properties or is solely a particle.

If Lin Ke were to conduct experiments, the two would likely experience cognitive breakdown.

However, due to the foundation of many years of academic research, under Lin Ke's influence as the principal, these two relics can't completely believe their own research.

This is also why, when they see Lin Ke so resolutely affirming wave-particle duality of light, there isn't much change appearing in Soul Space.

In the past, it was inevitable for Soul Space to break apart.

"Then, Professor Thomas, Teacher, follow me... Meanwhile, Magnalos, gather the people!"
