Chapter 104: Shattering Their Worldview

Inside the lecture hall of Kyoto University of Science.

The faces of all the experts were filled with utter shock. They had followed the professional materials, reading while listening to Jiang Zhe's speech.

After browsing through it, they were shocked to discover—Jiang Zhe had not only found the origin of consciousness, but he had found exactly what consciousness was!

Perhaps because Jiang Zhe's knowledge was so diverse, many people were left in a daze.

But everyone here was an expert, and they naturally understood what Jiang Zhe was talking about.

The content of Jiang Zhe's words boiled down to the following few sentences:

[What is consciousness? It is a 'Quantum Information Cluster' formed by the combination of quantum information within countless Protein Microtubules in the human brain.]

[Once it is quantum information, then there is a Quantum Superposition State.]

[What is a Quantum Superposition State?]

Naturally, when a person faces a choice and is hesitant, the choice in the human mind will be a Probability Cloud.

If the Probability Cloud had a color, it would certainly be a scientific blue-white!

Until that person makes a choice, that blue-white Probability Cloud will collapse and then turn into a white Deterministic State.

The scene was silent for a long time before a burst of discussion suddenly erupted.

"My god, that's too sharp!"

"He found it, he really found it!"

"Holy crap, I actually followed Hameroff's research data to verify the core content in the paper Jiang Zhe proposed; it's completely identical and correct!"

"Incredible, it's simply too incredible!"

"..."

All the physics and biology experts were full of fanaticism.

They never expected that in their lifetime, someone would truly be able to find where consciousness originates from!

The other experts had slightly slower reaction times. When they slowly finished reading Hameroff's research data and the supplementary materials provided by Jiang Zhe, they were all dumbfounded.

The scene was boiling over once again!

"Holy shit, this is insanely awesome."

"It's really insanely awesome. It's right, it's really right; our consciousness is truly just all the [choices] that have been determined from childhood to adulthood!"

"I'm not a biology or physics major, so I don't understand [Quantum Link Networks], and I don't even understand [Quantum Probability Clouds]. It wasn't until he said it's actually about [Choices] that I suddenly understood... He's simply being too considerate of us non-professional professors!"

"Yeah, but I have a question. Since Jiang Zhe says consciousness is a quantum information Probability Cloud, which seems to be the [Quantum Superposition State] in physics, then does quantum information possess a [Quantum Entanglement State]?"

"Nonsense, of course it does. It's all at the quantum level, so many states exist; there's also the Collapsed State, Superposition State, Eigenstate, Pure State, and Mixed State."

"If it has all of them, then does our quantum information also possess a [Quantum Entanglement] state?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the physicists and even the quantum scholars in the audience fell silent instantly.

It was as if a sharp sword had pierced their hearts.

All the physicists and quantum scholars looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.

Because they were the first to discover a hidden piece of information before anyone else!

The [Quantum Consciousness Information Cluster] Jiang Zhe spoke of—it must possess an entanglement state!!!

What does that mean?

Once human quantum information possesses an entangled state...

Then the consequences change from original science to hair-raising horror!

Quantum Entanglement, as the name suggests, splits a particle with a spin of 0 into two, producing two entangled particles with opposite spin directions: positive spin and negative spin.

These two particles belong to the same system.

No matter how far apart these two particles are, the moment one particle vibrates, the other quantum will also complete an instantaneous vibration.

This is the [Action at a Distance] of Quantum Entanglement, ignoring light and even space.

What shocked the science experts was—

Human consciousness information quanta. Splitting a quantum of certain consciousness information into two.

One is on Earth, and the other is at the edge of a black hole in the Milky Way Galaxy.

When a person dreams on Earth, this consciousness quantum on Earth moves slightly.

Then the other quantum at the black hole in the Milky Way also moves slightly.

Both sides move with zero time delay, and the human consciousness information quantum completes a synchronization.

What is the terrifying part?

The terrifying part is naturally—the moment a person dreams on Earth, they can also receive everything sensed by the quantum at the boundary of the Milky Way's black hole!

If a jet occurs in the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, swallowing dozens of nearby planets and producing a magnificent jet.

Then...

On Earth, that sleeping human could even sense the scene of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way swallowing things!

Or rather, two positive and negative spin quanta within a system might not be able to sense such complex scene information across multiple light-years.

But what if thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of positive and negative spin consciousness quanta within the [Brain] are undergoing [Entanglement] together?

That directly indicates that a person sleeping and dreaming on Earth could sense everything happening near the black hole in the Milky Way Galaxy!!!

Thinking up to this point, the science scholars were no longer calm.

"Holy shit..."

"The more I think about it, the more terrifying it gets!"

"What's what? What are you all talking about?"

Other scholars found it difficult to understand and looked toward the science experts one after another.

At this time, on the podium.

Professor Hua Yunfeng and Old Feng were shocked for a long time.

They were senior physicists. Jiang Zhe had found what consciousness was, and the key was that this 'thing' was information in quantum science.

This directly pointed to a truth:

Consciousness does not belong to the macroscopic world; it only belongs to the microscopic quantum world.

And in the quantum world, the more terrifying things there are!

You must know, the smaller everything is, the higher the dimension!

It even more directly pointed to a truth: [Consciousness] is not under the four-dimensional space where people live at all, but higher!!!

Higher-dimensional worlds contain world abilities that are quite different.

Like instantaneous movement across light-years, like imagination determining the world, like traveling through time and space...

These mysterious and unpredictable abilities can all exist in higher-dimensional worlds.

And consciousness...

Is a product of those high-dimensional worlds!

Professor Hua Yunfeng and Old Feng glanced at each other, their Adam's apples bobbing involuntarily.

They had previously thought these were jokes or things people said randomly.

Who would have thought...

Today, Jiang Zhe really verified and found the origin and nature of consciousness.

This immediately left Professor Hua Yunfeng and Old Feng speechless and at a loss.

Professor Hua Yunfeng froze for a long time before opening his mouth to say, "The world is about to change!"

Old Feng nodded with a dumbfounded look, "Yes, the quantum world has been confirmed, and the world has changed!"

In the back row of the scene, the top graduate student Leng Fei was shocked for a moment before resolutely sending what the experts were discussing into the livestream in the form of bullet comments.

At this time, in the livestream.

The screen was also silent for a moment, and the viewers were no longer calm.

"Fuck, I shouldn't have watched today's livestream."

"And Leng Fei, shut up; I don't want to know what [I] really am at all; I didn't really understand it before, but after you decrypted it like this, I now think [Consciousness] is way too simple!"

"Exactly, exactly, you hateful Leng Fei; if I can't scold Jiang Zhe, can't I still scold you?"

When these bullet comments appeared, the top student Leng Fei couldn't stop his mouth from twitching, "Damn, I was afraid you wouldn't understand and secretly recorded the professors' audio, but instead of being grateful, you're cursing. I'm not playing with you anymore."

"Sorry, Brother Leng, those bullet comments are just nonsense, don't mind them."

"By the way, why is everyone reacting like this? I think it's quite normal. We're just a cluster of quantum information Probability Clouds. This Probability Cloud can collapse at any time and be determined at any time; so what? Why shouldn't we watch? Is it because people are afraid they can't accept the truth?"

"Yes, damn it, once his last few sentences were spoken, I felt a sense of relaxation in my heart; it's as if everything in the world has nothing to do with me; I don't even have the mind to make money anymore."

"That's called being Zen-like, because you've realized it. You know what you are."

"But I still have to go to work tomorrow, make money, pay the mortgage, and raise kids. Why make me Zen-like now? I don't want to be Zen-like, I want to be a beast of burden!"

"Sigh!"

"..."

Because Jiang Zhe's explanation was too easy to understand, a massive number of viewers couldn't accept it for a while.

Their worldviews had more or less fallen into collapse.

And those students studying quantum science were even more expressionless, falling into a state of questioning their lives.

Originally, the charm of quantum science was: unknown, mysterious, fantasy-like yet scientific.

But now, once Jiang Zhe appeared, he made this fantasy-like yet scientific subject no longer mysterious!

"As a quantum science student, I swear I will never watch Jiang Zhe talk about quantum science again."

"+1, this subject seems to have no secrets left in his eyes. I studied this originally for the mystery; now it's neither divine nor mysterious anymore, boo hoo hoo~~~"

"By the way, is it possible this is just his side of the story?"

"It's possible, but the probability isn't high; he didn't even show us the paper, which means he doesn't want more people to know the truth—provided that what he said is true."

"Hmm... he has ulterior motives, but the kind-hearted sort!"

"..."

At this time, in the leadership conference room.

Station Manager Zhao and Old Wang glanced at each other and scratched their heads in confusion.

"Although I don't understand it, it seems very magical."

"Right, is he saying Little Jiang found out what the [us] we talk about really is?"

"Yes, it's those things hidden in the Protein Microtubules... uh... I forgot, I won't think about it anymore."

Aside from most of the leaders, only Wang Lin and Xiao Shiyi showed looks of shock. As university students, they naturally understood these things; but thinking deeply about it brought no benefit, so they simply stopped thinking about it.

Soon, smiles appeared on their faces in unison; the two glanced at each other and then nodded, saying nothing.

There was only admiration and prostration!

"Teacher Jiang is very strong!"

"Yeah, he's stronger than anyone!"

At this moment, Station Manager Zhao looked at the time in the upper left corner of the large screen; it had already reached 9:59 PM.

So he picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and spoke to the backstage director: "It's almost ten o'clock, it's time to end."

"Leader, aren't we adding more time? Old Wang's side reported that the ratings are still very high, and there are even signs of a breakthrough!"

"No more time. Leave the unfinished parts for the Q&A session. There was too much solid information today; he still has to go to work tomorrow."

"I understand, I'll get right on it."
