Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Mansion.

Magic Research Institute, first floor.

meeting room.

Laura Krueger is giving a report to Murphy.

"Currently, the institute has produced three valuable papers, and another paper, "The Essence of Magic," is under peer review. It is considered to be the second major conjecture after "The Path of Transformation."

"The other two articles are "Research on the Genetic Probability of Magical Qualities" and "Aerodynamics of the Levitation Spell"."

"The authors of the first three papers have all received point rewards. Among them, Andrew, the author of the deformation pathway, has received the most points, about 30 points. If subsequent citations and paper ideas are verified, there will be a share reward."

"Andrew chose to save his points, but Mitra Gallia, the author of "Levitation Spell," used 15 of her points to buy a bottle of love potion."

"In addition, after the formation of the Transfiguration Research Group, it now has 17 members. It has established an Animagus research group, a Disguise Magus preliminary research group, a werewolf and vampire research group, a Boggart preliminary research group, There are 10 groups in total including the Polyjuice Potion Research Group, and the Transformation Potion Research Group such as Gizzard Grass and Beauty Potion."

"Currently, most of the teams are in the preliminary research stage and are collecting relevant information. Only the werewolf and vampire teams have obtained the vampire true blood you provided and are ready to carry out several experiments."

"After the transformation research team was formed, several researchers proposed to form their own research groups, including the Mind Magic Research Group, Elemental Magic Research Group, Space Magic Research Group, Non-Human Intelligent Creatures Research Group, Death Special Research Group, etc. "

"I have approved several of them, but there is no relevant research output yet. Currently, these task groups do not have designated leaders. I plan to follow the method of the deformation research group and wait until there are guiding research directions for each topic. Designate the person who proposed it as the person in charge. What do you think?"

Murphy nodded, "Okay, let's do it this way."

"By the way, call the author of "The Essence of Magic" and ask him to tell me his conjecture."

Laura hesitated, “That paper has not passed peer review yet.”

"It's okay, just listen to the idea."

After a while, a young man with long hair and a pair of slippers came to Murphy.

"Are you the author of The Nature of Magic?"

Murphy looked at the guy dressed as a hippie in front of him, and he was not surprised. Hippie culture swept the world in the last decade, and even Gang Leader Qiao was one of its supporters. It still has huge influence, and many Western young people like to use it. Dress yourself up in various weird ways to show off your personality.

Murphy doesn’t care about other people’s value orientations and cultural attributes, “Just tell me what you think.”

"Okay, boss. My name is Haldane Haber. I am a basic physics researcher. My main focus is condensed matter physics. My conjecture about the nature of magic is also related to my research direction."

"Speaking."

"Okay, let me tell you my conclusion first. I believe that magic is actually a special authority to control the material world. The essence of magic is the directional collapse of the wave function."

"First of all, since magic is an objective and universal existence, it cannot be completely independent of non-magical physics."

"The year before last, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to the inventor of the scanning tunneling microscope. With the help of various similar observation tools, the reach of modern physics has extended to the nanometer scale."

"If magic is something completely different from what is known in modern physics, it either exists on smaller scales below ten minus 9 meters, and its impact on the physical world is limited to this scale, or it is A form of dark matter and dark energy that has difficulty interacting with ordinary matter."

"And based on the current nature of magic, both of these possibilities are unlikely."

"Magic can show macroscopic physical effects. There can only be one reason why this effect has not been observed by Muggle scientists: magic does not subvert the physical facts we know, it just builds on ordinary physical facts. on, adding some powers.”

"When this magical power is given to a person, he can control ordinary physical facts and show the appearance of magic."

“Quantum physics believes that matter does not exist, only particles and fields exist, and even particles may not exist. There are only energy and fields in the world, and things that make energy and fields look like particles and matter—— Probability cloud, or wave function.”

"The collapse of the wave function depends on the rules within this system. For example, the probability of an electron appearing somewhere depends on its quantum number, etc."

"In the ordinary physical world without magic, everything is within this system, so everyone has the same authority."

"In this world, if you want to make something change, you can only transmit this influence through the field and achieve the goal indirectly."

"But magic may be able to directly affect the collapse of the wave function."

"It can bypass these indirect effects and directly specify a certain phenomenon to occur. Therefore, magic can have no intermediate process, and can even transcend logic."

Murphy frowned, "If magic is really what you say, something beyond logic, how can we study it?"

"Of course it can be studied," Haldane said. "Different wizards have different levels of magic power, wizards have different affinity for various magics, and wizards have different difficulties in learning to use certain magics. What exactly causes this difference? Is there any? Is there any way to enhance the wizard's magic power, expand the wizard's compatibility, and make the magic stronger and easier to use? These are the questions we need to study."

Murphy nodded, "Do you have any thoughts on the issues you mentioned?"

"Of course. Based on my conjecture about the nature of magic, I conducted special research on spells, a form of magic, and put forward several hypotheses," Haldane said. "I also preliminarily verified it through some experiments with Teacher Alex. These hypotheses.”

"First of all, based on the conjecture about the nature of magic, I derived the first hypothesis."

“The Probability Paying Hypothesis.”

"I believe that there is a price to pay for the interference of magic power in physical phenomena. The greater the difference between the interference result and the result without interference, the greater the price that needs to be paid. And the measurement unit of this difference is the wave function. That is probability.”

"For example, the probability of an electron appearing at a certain point outside the nucleus is 1%, but magic makes it appear at that point, then the difference between the interference result and the non-interference result is 99%."

“The less likely something is to happen, the greater the price the magic has to pay to achieve it.”

In other words, the natural operation of physical phenomena is inertial. If you want to make it transcend the natural state, you must apply "magic".

This is somewhat similar to Newton's first law.

"Second, the hypothesis of necessary conditions for spells."
