As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 54 The Existence of the Soul

A group of criminals who were about to face the death penalty were dragged to Oak Ridge Laboratory overnight.

Jha and Donna worked with researchers at Oak Ridge to create the device.

The room is full of people, basically all the researchers in Oak Ridge are here.

"Are you saying there really are souls?"

"Who knows? Merlin's theory is very solid, and the relationship between soul, body and memory is well explained. But the authenticity is questionable."

"If there is a soul, then the whole biology will be completely overthrown, and many phenomena that were previously incomprehensible to human beings will be supported by new theoretical systems."

"Even if this experiment can really observe the matter that appears after human death, we can't be sure that this is the soul!"

"In addition, how do we capture souls?"

"The biggest flaw in his thesis is that it is impossible to demonstrate how the observed matter is the soul?"

There are large floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, and the researchers are all chatting on twitter. Zheng Li's paper published on magic.com has been distributed to everyone.

When the FBI found that they could not block this domain name through any technical means, they asked the arrested astronomers to sign a non-disclosure agreement and release it.

Since it cannot be kept secret, there is no need for magic.com's thesis to be completely kept secret. What they have to do now is to keep it partially kept secret. At least this matter cannot be known by the public to cause riots.

American has suffered enough from the epidemic, and they don't want the slightest disturbance in society.

After reading the paper, the researchers have been discussing, some believe it and some people don't believe it, thinking that the existence of the soul is non-existent.

This is a theory compiled by a troublemaker who calls himself Merlin.

It's just that they couldn't explain how Merlin bypassed American's monitoring and sent the probe to Pluto.

"Everyone please keep quiet, our experiment is about to start." Jha shouted.

The outside of the room gradually became quiet. In the room in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, the condemned prisoners were blindfolded and waited for death to come.

"It's cheap for you." The anesthetist in charge of euthanasia thought to himself, because it is a relief for the death row inmates to be euthanized.

The anesthetist injects the anesthetic first and then the potassium chloride.

It took a while for the condemned prisoner to die after being injected with potassium chloride, and the observation device was already turned on when the anesthetist injected the anesthetic.

Under the observation of the combined wavelength laser and ultra-short light pulses, the researchers in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass clearly saw the white misty soul detached from the death row prisoner's body and slowly drifted in the air.

"OMG! Is this the soul?"

"I want to know if all people's souls are white? Or do different people's souls reflect different colors under the observation device?"

"Can we capture souls?"

"If the soul really exists, does the soul also age?"

"Those people whose brain is dead but whose body is still alive, do they belong to soul death?"

"If we can preserve memory and soul in the future, how can we legally define a person as truly dead?" Many of the researchers present here have law degrees in addition to their research fields.

"In the legal sense, soul death or physical death should both be death."

"How to capture the soul? In the future, if we can transfer the soul and memory, wouldn't it make a person live forever?"

"Will the hibernation device have any side effects on the soul?"

"How do we prove that this is the soul?"

The researchers present here are at least all Ph. Ds. After observing the separated souls, the flames of inspiration are burning in everyone's minds.

Jha was also shocked. Although he didn't believe in the existence of souls, he was shocked after observing them: "It's so beautiful!"

But after hesitating for a long time, he said: "We need more experiments to determine the nature of the soul."

Standing beside him, Raymond nodded and said: "We need to use particle observers and neutrino observation detectors to observe which basic particles the soul experiment consists of."

Jha: "I feel like it must be a particle that we have never found, and we need more experiments."

"Merlin proposed in his thesis that some intelligent life forms also have souls in their bodies."

"We need more experiments to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the soul."

The physicists here are thinking about the material composition of the soul, and the biologists are thinking about the relationship between the soul and the body, and how the soul is stored in the human body.

Why can't people observe the existence of the soul when they are alive, but they can observe it after death.

In fact, mages have also researched the method of observing the soul when people are alive, but Zheng Li didn't write it in the paper. He didn't want people to find out that the body in Shicheng had no soul.

"The existence of the soul is a big event, we need a coordinated arrangement and planning."

"The most important thing is to find Merlin, who is he and what is his purpose?" Tom, the head of the Oak Ridge Laboratory, thought.

Among the three articles published by Zheng Li, the last one is about the trinity of body, soul and will, which cannot be falsified.

The second paper proves the existence of the soul is relatively easy, just conduct experiments according to the method of the paper.

The first one is just as easy, but involves making the simplest magic brain, which takes time.

The difference between the simplest magic brain and the standard magic brain is roughly equivalent to the difference between a steam teapot and a steam engine.

It also uses the principle of steam to pry matter, the essence is the same, but the functions played by the two at the application layer are completely different.

Zheng Li also stated in the paper that this magic brain is limited to use on small mammals, such as mice.Use in humans can have unpredictable consequences.

This experiment is actually a verification experiment that Zheng Li did after the end of his first semester at Jiangcheng University.

Basic experiments in the mage's theoretical system.

For Blue Star's theoretical system, this is a completely unfamiliar field.

This experiment is not at Oak Ridge, but at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

During this week, the researchers of the five leaders of Blue Star have completed the experiments on the existence of souls, and all parties have reached an agreement through remote meetings.

Merlin's existence and the contents of magic.com are to be kept secret from the public.

Whether Merlin was an alien or a Blue Star, they couldn't be sure, but the consensus reached by everyone was that at least this was an alien who had obtained theoretical knowledge of aliens that was completely different from the Blue Star scientific system.

Various countries monitor the movements of magic.com in real time, and according to the analysis of top experts in cognitive behavior in each country, Merlin will definitely make moves.

When the state apparatus really wants to control a certain topic from appearing, you will find that countries such as American, England, and France are not bad at all.
