I Created Scientific Magic

Approximately one minute, or maybe ten minutes, an hour, within the Destiny Light Cone, there is no such thing as time. This is the crevice of time and space, the beginning and the end of everything.

Rewinding more than a thousand years is not an easy task, even if it's just a land of ten thousand acres, it has already reached the limit Lynn can bear.

Fortunately, the timeline quickly progresses to October 3, 2549, in the Federal Calendar.

The day he died!

The surrounding scene instantly freezes, the walking crowd, the rotating machines, the water molecules leaping in the air are all still, like a special painting, until Lynn claps his hands, and the frozen time starts flowing again.

The next moment, the door of the hall is pushed open, and hundreds of researchers in dust-proof suits enter the laboratory together. Lynn clearly sees his past self among them.

Lynn follows them into the laboratory. The internal space is large, and the center is divided into a large vacuum experimental area to prevent stray molecules from interfering with the results of the experiment.

The so-called black box experiment is not actually conducted in a black box. The 'black box' is a metaphor, as quantum-level reactions cannot be observed with the naked eye.

The entire experiment is conducted under the control of AI intelligence, and only artificial intelligence can achieve such precise control and data monitoring.

The ultimate goal of the experiment is to find the true factors causing the quantum collapse!

Although the theory that human observation leads to quantum probability collapse was proposed hundreds of years ago, with a lot of experimental evidence, many federal researchers still try to overturn this or seek the real reason for quantum probability collapse.

For instance, a Federal Academy member studying quantum mechanics believes that the trigger for quantum probability collapse cannot possibly be observation itself, but rather interference from energy above a certain frequency.

After all, all acts of observation inevitably affect quantum.

Furthermore, the larger the mass of a substance, the less obvious its wave properties, which is also strong evidence.

Previously, they simply did not have sufficiently suitable and precise instruments to confirm this.

So since the new century, with breakthroughs in quantum observational technology, similar experiments have increased, but a key issue has troubled the scientific community for decades.

That is how to distinguish between observation and interference. Some researchers think that the energy level of observation equipment should be minimized. As long as this interference is small enough, they can observe the state of microparticles without collapsing quantum probabilities.

Other quantum researchers scoff at the interference theory and focus on the observer.

If human observation can affect quantum collapse, what about mammals, insects, or even single-celled organisms?

Where is the boundary of observation?

But regardless of the faction, they all need to do one thing, and that is to make the output process as complex as possible, hence the black box.

This special instrument only operates when the quantum probability is at a standstill. Once the quantum probability becomes chaotic again, the instrument will automatically stop.

In the entire experimental process, everything is conducted by independent AI, not connected to external networks, and all data generated during the experiment will be completely deleted.

The reason for such rigor is because similar experiments were conducted twenty years ago, sealing all experimental data to open it ten or twenty years later, in an attempt to bypass quantum collapse.

The result is that if they choose to record data for storage, whether or not they choose to view it now, the quantum probability remains in a collapsed state, occasionally showing chaotic probability, only for AI to inform them that there is a problem with the instrument and no data was recorded.

So to avoid affecting the output results of the experiment, subsequent experiments simply deleted the data.

This approach, while cumbersome, is indeed effective. After more than a year of tedious experiments, they have confirmed that some large mammals, after 'viewing' the experimental data output by the intelligent brain, can cause quantum collapse, allowing quantum detection instruments to continue operating, whereas all insects tested did not.

None of the organisms participating in the experiment can understand the significance of this experimental data, so observation is certainly unrelated to the comprehension of this data's meaning. Shal suspected that the boundary of observation might be whether the organism possesses basic cognitive abilities.

"Biological Experiment 137 is ready!" Shal instructed.

Under the control of independent AI, all preparations were completed within fifteen minutes. This time, the test subject was a koala, also trapped in a black box, with all experimental data presented as images in front of it, and all data deleted after the experiment.

As for Shal and the others, they only need to see if the instrument operates during this process to know whether the quantum probability inside the black box has collapsed.

This is the same principle as the double-slit interference experiment. As long as the process is not observed, merely knowing the output results will keep quantum probability from collapsing.

After confirming everything was ready, Shal solemnly pressed the button to activate the quantum instrument, and to everyone's anxious gaze, the instrument operated very smoothly,

Shal's expression was quite unexpected because, according to previous expectations, creatures like the koala, with such small brains, were unlikely to pass the experiment.

Shal pondered for a while and then had the AI swap the experimental organism in the black box with a chameleon to test it!

The result once again exceeded his expectations, and the instrument operation did not stop.

Shal's face changed instantly. Previously, they had tested reptiles like turtles and tortoises, and without exception, they all failed the test. Why could the chameleon?

Could lizards be smarter than turtles?

Shal, utterly perplexed, continued the experiment, and his expression became increasingly astonished.

The tuatara passed, the rattlesnake passed, the mantis passed...

Even the spider successfully passed the experiment!

"How is this possible?" Shal stared intently at the continuously running quantum detection instrument, deeply suspecting it might be broken, and immediately shut down the Biological Black Box for AI to conduct a self-test.

The intelligent system's prompt quickly sounded.

[No anomalies detected, all programs running normally.]

"Normal? Are you sure?" Shal's brow furrowed deeply.

"Doc... Doctor!" An assistant suddenly spoke, voice trembling, pointing to a certain place.

Shal instinctively looked up and then felt a chill rising from his feet to his heart.

The quantum detection instrument was still continuously operating, showing no signs of stopping.

But he clearly remembered just shutting down the Biological Black Box, which means there should be no observer inside the black box at this moment, yet the quantum probability remains in a collapsed state...
