Chapter 107: Transcendental Teleportation of Consciousness

As the explanation concluded, the audience fell into deep thought.

Jiang Zhe's explanation echoed in their minds—consciousness is an aggregate of quantum information.

While a person is alive, this aggregate of quantum information exhibits the effects of a [Quantum Superposition State].

When a living person faces a choice between A and B, the Superposition State becomes chaotic; once the choice is made, the Superposition State collapses into either A or B.

This was actually quite easy to understand!

But once a person is near death, or completely dead—

The Quantum Superposition State ceases to exist.

The consequence of this non-existence is that when the near-dead or the deceased encounter choices, countless options and outcomes are presented before them.

As the name implies: near-death patients and the deceased can freely switch between different life choices.

Thinking carefully, even the audience members furrowed their brows, sensing a hint of horror.

“Why does it feel a bit terrifying after hearing that?”

“Yeah, if the physical body is what limits consciousness to a world of single choices, then being near death or dead breaks those physical constraints, allowing us to go to any choice at will.”

“Exactly. After I die, I could go to the world of choice A, or choice B, or choice C.”

“Describing it like that... isn't it a bit too much like being a god?”

“And wouldn't information after death... just disappear?”

“...”

A brief moment of reflection led the audience to discover a terrifying possibility.

Living means being confined to a single worldview.

Death, surprisingly, allows one to exist within a multiverse worldview.

No matter how you look at it, death seems to have the advantage, making many people feel uneasy, yet also filled with a strange longing...

Inside the lecture hall.

The science experts here didn't seem too surprised.

Before Jiang Zhe's explanation, they already had some understanding of this, some even knowing it like the back of their hands.

Just then.

The high school student's trembling voice came through the phone; clearly, he too was startled by the answer Jiang Zhe provided.

“Teacher, does that mean living people are stuck in one worldview, while those near death or dead can exist in multiple?”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe smiled slightly and nodded in explanation.

“Yes, according to my theoretical description, that is the case.”

“The second core point of my theory is that quantum information is not completely destroyed at the moment of near-death. Part of this information still exists in the universe, which explains the phenomenon of near-death experiences.”

“Quantum Consciousness Information, like the quantum information of all things, can also be destroyed—”

“Quantum Consciousness Information is destroyed during the process of observation. This is because quantum measurement leads to the collapse of the quantum state, thereby destroying the original quantum information or even the Quantum Consciousness Information.”

“This point can completely decrypt the out-of-body experiences of [near-death patients].”

As the answer was given, the high school student and many audience members fell into contemplation.

In this way, Quantum Consciousness Information is not eternal and immortal; once it is observed by something, it will be destroyed.

They let their imaginations run wild—

Suppose a near-death patient's quantum consciousness briefly leaves the body, with one part remaining in the brain and another part staying in the universe.

If that part of the quantum information in the universe were observed by an alien scientist passing by with high-precision instruments...

Then perhaps, even if that near-death patient were lucky enough to wake up, they would be completely insane.

While people were immersed in these thoughts, Jiang Zhe spoke up again.

“Based on your curiosity, young student, I'll give you an answer to something else you might find interesting.”

At these words, the student's eyes lit up. “What? Really? What answer?”

Jiang Zhe smiled. “It's a sub-question derived from your first question, which is [Quantum Consciousness Entanglement State].”

“Earlier, I addressed the [Quantum Consciousness Superposition State] from your first question; now it's time for the [Consciousness Entanglement State].”

“You're familiar with the entanglement state, right?”

The student thought for a moment. “I am. In an isolated system, a quantum split in two is divided into spin-up and spin-down—if we're talking about our brains, the brain can also be seen as a large [isolated system].”

“Exactly, you have a good grasp of it; you must be a top student. Since you understand, I won't explain too much.”

Facing the camera, he slowly explained: “The Quantum Consciousness Entanglement State applies to three life scenarios: dreaming, near-death, and death.”

In traditional understanding, dreaming is a manifestation of activity in the cerebral cortex, but no one expected it could be decrypted using quantum mechanics.

Hearing this, all the viewers widened their eyes and sat up straight.

Jiang Zhe explained without hesitation:

“1: Dreaming.”

“When a person falls into a dream, most dreams are not in an entanglement state.”

“For example, you might dream of giant fish swimming through a city, giant whales swimming in the sky, or giant whales swimming in the starry sky; or you living at the bottom of the sea, and other such bizarre dreams.”

“These are nothing special; they are just a collage of your past memories.”

Most viewers had more or less experienced similar dreams.

On the internet, there was even a professional term for this: [Dreamcore].

Those are: bizarre, wonderful, inexplicable, and exaggerated dreams!

“But!”

As Jiang Zhe shifted his tone, his expression suddenly became serious.

“Everyone here must have had these dreams!”

“For instance: you dream of the starry sky, and you are traveling through the brilliant stars of the universe.”

“Or, you travel through a black hole in your dream. Most people think black holes are dark, but when you enter one, it's actually a vast expanse of white light, because the photons inside the black hole are moving chaotically.”

“Some individuals might even dream of galaxies they've never seen before, and those galaxies are mostly bright; to the human eye, those galaxies appear dark.”

As these words fell, a massive wave of agreement flooded the bullet chat.

“Yes, yes, yes! I've dreamed of traveling through the stars. The starry sky isn't black; it has brilliant colors, mainly white, orange, red, and blue.”

“Wait, why is that? Isn't the universe dark to the naked eye? Why is it bright in dreams?”

“I don't even need the host to explain, I'll tell you. It's because in the energy-state universe, everything is bright. Anyone who's been to middle school knows this. The white is mostly planets reflecting starlight, like the moon; then there's orange, which is the color of most stars, though some are blue-white; and then red, which are old stars.”

“Does this... could it be that we really went to outer space in our dreams?”

“I... I'm not sure!”

Dreaming is something everyone does.

But the things that happen in dreams are not something everyone can understand.

On the big screen.

Jiang Zhe smiled and analyzed: “Why do these dreams of traveling through the stars happen?”

He held up a finger and asked with a serious face:

“Is there a possibility?”

“That it wasn't a dream?”

Hearing this, all the viewers widened their eyes and subconsciously held their breath.

They could sense that the truth seemed to be extraordinary!

Jiang Zhe revealed a mysterious smile and gave the answer directly.

“That wasn't you dreaming!”

“Rather, while you were asleep, one part of your consciousness remained in your brain, while another part of your Quantum Consciousness Information was roaming the starry universe!”

“When you woke up, that part of the quantum consciousness lingering in the stars was instantly pulled back.”

“Most people think it was just a vivid dream.”

“Little do they know...”

“The vastness and brilliance of the universe.”

His expression became solemn again as he pointed a finger at the camera.

“You have already witnessed it!”

Then Jiang Zhe's expression changed abruptly, turning back into a smile.

“This is the [Action at a Distance] of [Quantum Consciousness Information Entanglement]—the instantaneous transmission that ignores light-year distances.”
