I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 368 Be Your Own Observer

Jenny's memoir continues.

That was the first meeting after the 'Militia' (predecessor of Overwatch) was reorganized into 'The Overwatch'.

There are many old heroes who quit, for example, Sally's old splash (Laury's mother, a generation of Silk Soul, Sally's grandmother) and a generation of Night Owl.

There are also many new heroes added, for example, the dirty and weird Rorschach, for example, the second-generation night owl, for example, the little splasher Laurie who seduces other people's husbands.

The Metropolitan Captain (the spiritual leader of the militia and watchmen, similar to Captain America in the Avengers) believes that after the end of World War II (the militia was originally formed mainly to fight against the riots in the United States), in the current social environment of the United States, there is no criminal gang worth watching The whole team works together.

He wrote everyone's names or code names on a note, put them in the box and drew lots to form a team, in groups of two and two, to take care of each other.

Joan and Sihun drew together.

At that moment, I was furious, and I didn't care about being rude, so I dragged him out of the venue before the meeting ended.

However, I was in tears at the time, obviously in a bad state. Although the heroes were surprised and puzzled, they didn't blame me.

On the street outside the house, I asked Joan if it was you who did it.

He just needs to answer yes, or no.

He did say 'no', but added without hesitation: In this quantum reality, I would have been paired with her tonight.

Hahaha.
It is said that he is God. It seems that God is also confused after encountering love.

He regarded me as an illiterate silk soul who hadn't even finished middle school.

He forgot that I was his colleague.

I fully understand the subtext in his words: there are dozens or even hundreds of results of the lottery, and each result represents a future reality before the note is finally drawn, and he chose the one that best suits his heart.

My guess was exactly right.

After the divorce, I asked about that night again, and he confessed that he would have teamed up with Rorschach.

Speaking of this, Harley couldn't help sighing with emotion: "If Dr. Manhattan is ungrateful, obeys the arrangement of 'True God', and becomes teammates with Rorschach. occur."

Later, Rorschach teamed up with the second-generation night owl Daniel, and they had a 20-year friendship and a very good relationship.

Little Joseph's pupils shrank, "What tragedy? Alien octopus invasion?"

Harry shook his head, "Rorschach's death."

"Who killed Rorschach?" Little Joseph asked.

"You do not know?"

"I thought you didn't know. The true origin of the alien octopus is known only to a handful of senators with close ties to the military.

If Laurie told you, she would have violated the non-disclosure agreement signed at the White House. Little Joseph frowned.

Ha Li said lightly: "She told me, but she didn't breach the contract, because I am General Wuhuan!

I have to make sure Zod isn't with the giant octopus.

As long as the secrets I inquire about are related to aliens, even the President can't hide the slightest bit. "

"Admiral Five Rings." The corners of Joseph's mouth twitched slightly.

"You go on, what does Red Manhattan's three marriages have to do with Jenny's dictation?" he said.

"Didn't you find something wrong with Dr. Manhattan through Jenny's words?" Harry asked.

"This...really not." Little Joseph shrugged, awkwardly but honestly said: "Dr. Manhattan just made a mistake that every man will make.

The types of women men like may vary, but they all love 18-year-olds.

What's more, it's the second generation of Silk Soul!

In the years since she debuted, which man in the United States has not had sexual fantasies about her?
Well, maybe he should wait a few more years, 15 years old is too young to cause criticism. "

"You are right, as long as a man has the ability and opportunity, he will not be able to pass the hurdle of 15-year-old Laurie, but is Dr. Manhattan an ordinary person?"

Little Joseph was stunned, and said: "Tearman seems to be in love, the gossip news on the headlines of the puppy. At least, he once had a girlfriend."

"Superman is really different from Doctor Manhattan." Harry shook his head, "Let's put it this way, why do you think Doctor Manhattan was born?"

Joseph Jr. didn't know, but he had seen "Red Manhattan," which had a detailed explanation of the birth of Soviet Manhattan.

"He became his own observer?"

"Strictly speaking, Jonathan Osterman became Dr. Manhattan's quantum observer." Halle corrected.

There are two sources of inspiration for her setting of Red Manhattan, one is Mr. Rogers' "Dr. Manhattan File", and the other is "Ball Lightning" by Liu Xinci.

However, the core idea of ​​"Ball Lightning" - the macro atom (PS), she didn't feel much, mainly because the ending of the heroine Lin Yun was very interesting - she turned into a quantum state in the macro atomic nuclear fusion.

Isn't Dr. Manhattan transformed into a quantum state in a similar way?
He can observe the past and the future on the timeline, just because the past and the future also have his quantum distribution.

It can be understood that a person exists in the past=1, exists in the present=2, exists in the future=3, exists in the xx galaxy=4, exists on the earth=5, exists outside the universe=6
Six possibilities, equivalent to six sides of a dice.

After the dice is shaken, and before the dice stops rolling—before any conscious being observes it—any one of six numbers may appear under the lid.

This is the quantum state, a superposition of uncertain states.

This is also Dr. Manhattan.

The "number" of ordinary people is definite, exists in a certain place, at a certain time point, and has a unique state of existence.

Lin Yun, the heroine of "Ball Lightning", except for the supreme power, experience and state of existence are very similar to Dr. Manhattan.

She also exists everywhere in the universe.

The state of existence is in an indeterminate superposition state.

But her existence is very scientific.

For example, when you can't see her (no observer, don't lift the bowl cover above the dice), she may be by your side (she can be any of the six numbers, 5 = on the earth, by your side ).

When you go to perceive her (with the observer, to uncover the bowl on the dice), it's almost impossible for her to be around you.

1=equal to the past, there are countless pasts; 2=this moment, there is only one point in time; 3=the future, there are countless futures; 4=anywhere in the universe, there are countless places; 5=the earth, yours Around, there is only one physical location; 6=Beyond the universe, there are countless possible locations.

Therefore, the probability of her being seen is 1*1/4*∞=0, not one in six.

Four times plus one infinity is zero.

No one can perceive Lin Yun, but everyone can see Dr. Manhattan.

How did he do it?
Moreover, not all Gotham people, Metropolitan people, Chinese people, Neon people, aliens, ancient people, and future people have seen Dr. Manhattan.

You can only see him at a certain time and in a certain place.

Dr. Manhattan eats beef noodles with Laurie at the 'Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant' from 05:30 to 05 o'clock, so you can only meet him at the Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant from 30:[-] to [-] o'clock.

Before 05:30, you went to the noodle shop, and you couldn’t see him; from 05:30 to [-] o’clock, you went to the Shaxian snack on the next street, and you couldn’t see him either.

Like ordinary people, his state collapsed from countless possible quantum states into one, the only one.

This meant that someone must be watching him! ! !
When the quantum superposition state is observed, the state will collapse into one—only when the dice clock is opened, the dice will collapse from six possibilities to a definite value.

But why did Lin Yun abide by the rules of quantum physics scientifically, but Dr. Manhattan violated the rules openly?

Is it 'unscientific magic' at work?

"Even gods, monsters and aliens have come out, it's not scientific to be very scientific." Little Joseph said.

Harry shook his head and smiled, "It seems that you don't quite agree with the views in my book."

Little Joseph’s eyes flickered slightly, on the surface he was acquiescing, but in his heart he was feeling: It’s true that you don’t agree, but many readers don’t agree with your point of view. After you won the Hugo Award for “Three-Body Man Crisis”, you are well-known at home and abroad Afterwards, "Red Manhattan" was still known as "a dog-blood love story in a sci-fi cloak".

In recent years, some people even compare it with bad books like "Twilight", because "Red Manhattan" has a scalp-numbing "three men and three women's hexagonal love" at the peak of the love plot.

but now.
In the eyes he looked at Harley now, a subtle admiration flashed: No matter how bloody the polyamorous love in "Red Manhattan", it turns out that she guessed everything right!
He wanted to hear her explain why in more depth, which is why he came to her.

The action against Blue Manhattan is about to start. She is him. In their hearts, the strongest Manhattan research expert on earth, although she is only a novel writer and has never even met him.

Halle sighed, "The Dr. Manhattan we saw wasn't the real Dr. Manhattan at all.

Jonathan Osterman and Doctor Manhattan are two people.

Just like what Dr. Manhattan did himself - after he returned from the Benzheng field laboratory, he drew a hydrogen atom symbol on his forehead and changed his name to "Dr. Manhattan", completely abandoning his previous identity, even his old father did not recognize him .

He attended the funeral of scientist Jonathan Osterman in a new capacity.

Until his death, Jonathan Osterman's father didn't know that Dr. Manhattan, the "God on Earth" who caused a sensation in the world, was his son. "

"What's the point of such a separation of identities?" Joseph wondered.

"When we saw the giant blue with our naked eyes, we thought he was Dr. Manhattan, but in fact, he was Jonathan Osterman.

The reason he collapsed from multiple to unique is because someone was watching him.

The Observer is the real Dr. Manhattan"

Lin Yun may exist at any time and any place. She is difficult to be observed by ordinary people without superpowers, but the Almighty God can definitely observe her and make her collapse into one state, appearing at some point in the past, present, and future. at an exact cosmic location
Then, God used great power to send Lin Yun to the earth, to the present, and to the place Lin Yun wanted to go.

Replace God with Dr. Manhattan - he does have god-like powers, and replace Lin Yun with Jonathan Osterman.
In this way, there appeared an "unscientific supernatural event" in which Dr. Manhattan was in a quantum state, but his state was determined to be like an ordinary person.

"...This is my scientific explanation of Dr. Manhattan's state of existence. Well, no magic, pure science." Harry said.

"Why did Dr. Manhattan help Jonathan and send him to the place he wanted?" Joseph wondered.

"Because Dr. Manhattan is Jonathan, helping him is helping yourself. What Jonathan thinks in his heart is also what he thinks, which is very reasonable." Harry said.

Joseph said blankly: "But you just said that they are not alone."

"Well, do you have any coins?" Harry asked.

"Uh, yes." Joseph was completely fascinated.

"Give me one." She spread her hands and asked.

Joseph pulled out a one dollar and handed it over.

"This side is the head, it's Dr. Manhattan," Harry turned the other side, "this side is the words, it's Jonathan Osterman."
