Chapter 54 The Observer Effect

Chu Fei looked at the few questions on the screen and fell into thought.

It seems that there are only a few simple questions, and there are only a few simple keywords, but the knowledge involved behind them is not trivial.

Based on his own knowledge, Chu Fei could only answer a very small part, and felt very reluctant.

Cao Liwen obviously didn't expect Chu Fei to answer, but just gave Chu Fei a time to think, and then explained:

"We start with the most basic genetic mutations.

Under normal circumstances, gene mutations are random, and then due to the natural environment, living conditions, etc., unqualified mutants will be eliminated, and beneficial genes will eventually be left behind.

Life is constantly mutated, eliminated, and accumulated in this way, and finally a better life body is formed.

This is the relationship between genetic mutation and evolution in general.

To this end, the original evolutionary thought proposed a theory called: survival of the fittest.

But we now know that this statement is actually very problematic.

Because it can't explain one of the most critical questions: why are human beings the way they are now?
If it is really the survival of the fittest, then why are our retinas reversed?
Why is the temple position so weak?

Why does the recurrent laryngeal nerve bypass the heart?

Why don't we have wings, ultrasound, infrared vision?
and many more.

There are too many unreasonable things in the human body, and every unreasonable thing is a provocation to the theory of evolution.

Is evolution wrong?

You try to answer.Say whatever you want. "

Chu Fei thought for a while and said, "I don't think the theory of evolution is wrong. On the whole, life did evolve and is still evolving.

But on specific issues, the theory of evolution is not perfect.

Just like the quantum theory at the beginning, the general direction is fine, but there are still many small problems that need to be continuously supplemented and improved by future generations.It is not even ruled out that some details are wrong.

But it cannot be said that quantum theory is wrong. "

"That's right!" Cao Liwen nodded, "The reason for the above-mentioned loopholes in the theory of evolution lies in the so-called 'survivor bias'.

Many of our studies start from the survivors, in fact, we can only start from the survivors.

For those who have failed and have been eliminated, even research is impossible.

However, after a lot of scientific research, the problem was discovered.

This brings us to the observer effect and quantum collapse.

The observation of human beings will change the wave-particle duality, which has been mentioned in the class.Need a separate explanation? "

Chu Fei shook his head.

The wave-particle duality, a simple experiment, has caused the collapse of classical physics.

The experiment is very simple, but the effect is not simple, and the nature involved is even more extraordinary.In fact, this phenomenon is the so-called quantum collapse.

Now, Cao Liwen told Chu Fei that the quantum collapse caused by our active participation in observation is the observer effect.

The very simple observer effect constitutes the key point in the process of life evolution - why is life like this!
Because in the evolution of life, we will observe ourselves!
Chu Fei became confused when he heard this, "How do you observe yourself?"

Cao Liwen was very patient, "Before practicing, did you have such an experience.

Do you think someone is beautiful, think someone is handsome, and fantasize that you will be such a person when you grow up? "

Chu Fei suddenly and stunned: "That's it? So simple?"

"That's it! It's that simple!" Cao Liwen nodded, "Observation leads to the change of wave-particle duality, isn't it just a glance, what else do you do?"

As he spoke, Cao Liwen sighed with emotion, "Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest. Who would have thought that it is only this thing that affects life without 'random mutation'.

But the fundamental issues behind this phenomenon are extremely complex.

The first involves a mathematical problem: probability.

There are many genes in the human body, and there are many possible mutations. If you want to mutate just as you expect, even if there is an observation effect, it only increases the probability, not absolute.

The evolution of life requires transmission and observation from generation to generation.

It is also the existence of the observer effect that determines the different ideologies and cultural forms of different civilizations. "

Chu Fei listened thoughtfully, but he became more and more confused—there were too many problems, the computing power of the brain was not enough, and the energy supply was insufficient; to put it simply: the brain was short of strings and oxygen.

Fortunately, Cao Liwen changed the subject, "The above is just a direction for you to think about, and there is no need to think about it for now.

We focus on the practice of big data, especially the semi-awakened and the previous stage.

Now we have made it clear that the observer effect will lead to the directed evolution of life.

However, in the evolution process of life in nature, because there is little self-awareness and no active awareness of the observer effect, etc., natural evolution still needs the link of "survival of the fittest" to be eliminated.

The entire evolution of life needs to last for ten thousand years, 10 years, millions of years, etc.

But humans can actively facilitate this process.

The essence of ancient practices such as visualization and meditation is to actively strengthen the observer effect.

This kind of meditation was attributed to metaphysics in the past.

It was not until science developed, especially after the rise of big data practice, that these phenomena were fundamentally interpreted. "

Another core issue.

Chu Fei's eyes were brighter than ever.

"So the so-called visualization, meditation, etc., turned out to be this?"

Chu Fei's words were more like talking to himself, and Cao Liwen didn't answer, but continued, "I have explained most of the key words I listed earlier, and there is only one left:
will!

What do you think about this?
Or just say it casually. "

Chu Fei withdrew his thoughts and thought seriously.

Unfortunately, thinking about loneliness.

Never thought about it before.

But Chu Fei still tried to say, "The so-called will is tenacity, not reaching the goal..."

"No, no, no!" Cao Liwen waved his hands, "The discussion we are having today is technical, not ideological.

You have to try to analyze it from technical, scientific and other aspects.

As I just said, the essence of meditation is the observer effect.

The observer effect can be traced back to a simple physical phenomenon - wave-particle duality.

This is called a technical discussion. You need to find a specific scientific basis for something, followed by a realistic basis. If it is not possible, you must also have a self-consistent theoretical basis.

The foundation of big data practice is science.

We don't talk about metaphysics! "

Chu Fei was completely dumbfounded.

Oh shit, can anyone tell me what the scientific basis, realistic basis, or theoretical basis of the thing 'will' is?

Forget it, I don’t know, I didn’t expect it, just lay flat and wait for Teacher Cao to feed!

Chu Fei revealed Baba's small eyes.

[Science fiction really needs to be slowed down, some things really can't beat the brain, they have to blow the brain.This chapter has been revised and rewritten for two days, and the manuscript is gone.

There will be one or two chapters to build a complete practice theory.However, it is difficult to write, so please forgive me for the imperfections. 】
