In the process of calming down everyone's emotions, Mu Yiran and Ke Xun once again looked at the "Schrödinger's Cat" hanging on the wall.

This painting is still the same as it was before the painting, with only some grain-like dots on the black background, and Qi Muhuan, Dong Yao and Deng Lin who remained in the painting could not be seen on it.

"The waves and particles in the painting are different from before the painting," Mu Yiran said, pointing to the upper right corner of the painting, "I had a glimpse of this place before entering the painting. There are three particles distributed in a triangle, but now , here becomes a disordered distribution."

Ke Xun was stunned: "So could it be that the three people are represented in the form of particles in the picture, and there are actually three of them in the painting in front of me, but they are not in human form."

Mu Yiran nodded slightly: "It should be like this."

Wei Dong's voice suddenly interjected from the side: "Student Ke, I'll press Uncle Newton's coffin board for you. Now you can explain why you can really go to heaven when you step on your left foot with your right foot."

Ke Xun turned his head and winked at him and smiled: "I told you that not being able to review questions is fatal, you know, do you remember the requirements displayed on the big screen in the initial room - all scientific phenomena, theories, formulas, etc. Wait, there are hypotheses with theoretical basis, logical and self-consistent inferences, paradoxes, conventional views, and well-informed phenomena—attention, 'paradox', 'conventional views', 'knowledgeable' High phenomenon', what does this mean? As long as the degree of recognition is high, it can be true in the painting."

"Damn it, I get it!" Wei Dong had an epiphany, "Isn't stepping on the left foot on the right foot a common move in those kung fu movies, there are many audiences, even if they know that it violates the first law of Uncle Niu, but everyone agrees It's like this in movies and TV, after all, people also have a little theoretical support, such as leveraging strength or something."

"To Liao, you can't do it, Comrade Xiao," Ke Xun patted him on the shoulder. "The brain is too small, and the hairline is unwilling to help you cover it."

"Bum, do you know that there is no blood relationship between the hairline and the brain hole!" Wei Dong said.

He Tang's mood has calmed down next to him, and Wen Yan also added a sentence: "But Xiao Ke, your brain is too big, I'm afraid no one but you can think of the trick of stepping on the right foot with your left foot. Do you know how to draw a black line down from your forehead while doing this."

"You guys are not bad," Wu You said with a nasal voice, "My question is: how to jump over a ten-meter-long bunker without using props? The sand is quicksand, and when I fall into it, it will collapse immediately. I thought that Ke Xun is a sports student, maybe there is a way, so I asked him for help, but guess what idea he gave me?"

"What's your idea?" Zhu Haowen asked quietly.

"He asked me to use the 'butter cat' rule!" Wu You was dumbfounded.

Everyone: "… "

"What is a butter cat? Is it related to Schrödinger's cat?" Luo Meng scratched his head and asked.

"If a piece of bread with only one side covered with butter falls to the ground, the butter side will always face down," Shao Ling said, "and a cat that falls from the air will always land on its feet. The unbuttered side sticks to the cat's back and is thrown into the air, and according to both phenomena, the butter and the cat will never hit the ground."

Luo Yao reacted for a while, and understood with an "oh": "If the cat's feet fall, it means that the unbuttered side will face downwards, which violates the conclusion that the buttered side will always face downwards, otherwise, it violates the Cats always fall on their feet first, so in order for these two conclusions to come true, the sticky loaf and cat will never fall to the ground."

"This is a paradox that cannot be established at all," Shao Ling said, "but because it is a hypothesis with theoretical basis and can be logically self-consistent, it is really established in the painting."

"You can't imagine the feeling of tying a cat in front of me, sticking a piece of buttered bread behind me, and rolling in the air." Wu You squinted at Ke Xun.

Weidong Luo Xun paid tribute to Ke Xun with his eyes: "You are awesome, your brain is really awesome!"

Ke Xun gave himself two thumbs up: "Great."

Qin Ci said: "I think, among all the rules displayed on the big screen in the initial room, the most important one is actually the one that 'no evidence is needed, only imagination'. This may be the program's reason for his son's suicide. The biggest resentment of the reason. Many people think that the biggest drawback of exam-oriented education is that it stifles the imagination of children to a certain extent. You must know that imagination is the driving force for technology and human progress, and it is also an important source of happiness in life. Do The program for an abstract painter should know better than anyone the importance of imagination, perhaps for him, imagination is the core of life."

"In this way," Zhu Haowen moved his lips slightly, "among us, only Ke Xun has used the correct strategy for customs clearance."

Ke Xun clasped his fists: "I've won awards and awards, it made everyone laugh."

Wei Dong was about to kick this stubborn guy when he heard someone shout at the entrance of the exhibition hall: "You guys! This place is cleared, leave quickly!"

The crowd didn't wait any longer, and filed out from the exhibition hall. Ke Xun was carrying a shoe of Wei Dong-Wei Dong and landed in the painting. At this moment, the snow outside was so thick that he couldn't walk barefoot.

When I came to the lobby of the Art Museum, I saw dozens of people setting up machines, some lighting up, some playing with cameras, and some holding live radio microphones for debugging.

This is a filming crew.

When passing by the staff, I heard a few people chatting there.

"I heard that the reality show that Dong Yao and Qi Muhuan participated in was also recorded here?"

"That's it, it was originally said that they recorded first in the morning, and we filmed us in the afternoon, but our Director Zhang seemed to have communicated with the other side just now. We have other arrangements in the afternoon, and the other side agreed and temporarily changed it to their afternoon. made a bid."

"What kind of show is that?"

"I heard that it's a show with a bunch of amateurs shooting a tricky game. It has an invisible camera throughout the whole process, and it shoots 24 hours a day, and it takes seven days to shoot."

"Tsk tsk, now that reality shows are flooding in, you can really come up with any tricks. But if you shoot with amateurs, aren't you afraid that the amateurs just focus on chasing stars and don't care about recording the show?"

"It's okay, the crew is looking for selected amateurs. It is estimated that few of them can recognize them. This is what they want. The audience in front of the TV likes to watch the amateurs being kept in the dark, and the real identities of the stars will be revealed at the end. bridge."

"24 hours, 7 days, those two are enough to fight."

"Can you do it if you don't fight? The competition in this industry is fierce, and all the organs are exhausted. It's not just for the sake of being in front of people and gaining fame and fortune."

"Hehe, there's a fart, you can't take anything with you when you die."

"Stop talking sour, it's time to start work."

The participants disbanded at the hotel where they were staying, and added contact information with Wu You and He Tang. Those who took the plane took the plane, and those who took the train took the train to go back to their respective homes.

It is also snowing in Z city, and under the hazy sky, fluffy snowflakes are being pulled.

Ke Xun sat cross-legged on the thick feather-grey carpet on the living room floor, flipping a copy of "Schrödinger's Cat - The Mysterious Quantum World" in his hand, which he bought from the bookstore on the way back.

Mu Yiran came over with the hot coffee that had just been brewed, sat on the carpet, handed him a cup, glanced at the pages of his book, and turned to look at the city lights that were gradually coming on outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ke Xun threw away the book, took a sip of coffee, and frowned, "It's not sweet."

"Let it go..." Before Mu Yiran's word for "sugar" came out, the man had already got up and rushed over, holding his face and nibbling on his mouth, before licking his lips and sitting back contentedly: "Sweet ."

"How are you studying?" Mu Yiran rested on the lazy sofa behind him.

Since "drowning" with this guy, Mu Yiran felt that his sitting posture could no longer regain the straight and elegant demeanor he used to be.

"It can be summed up in two words," Ke Xun continued to drink coffee, hot white air lingering between his nose and mouth, "The head is big, the child is afraid."

"Are you doubting that the real world we live in is also a world of dualism?" Mu Yi looked at him.

Ke Xun nodded: "I think just like the thought that the program wants to reflect, the current level of human science and technology is limited, and it is impossible to measure or define what the constituent elements of consciousness are, so it cannot be absolutely denied that it does not exist independently.

"So, what if? What if there really is a consciousness that is above matter, not just because it's in a high-dimensional space, but - it can determine matter, it can determine the human beings who are made of material elements. Life and death or even fate, what are we going to do? Wait for it or find a way to fight it

"If it is above the material, how are we going to fight it? If we can only wait to die, is there any point in drawing and drawing like this

"Yeah, you know, I have a suspicion, I think the power behind the painting, it is probably such a kind of consciousness, so it can determine and manipulate matter. For example, if it only exists in the painting, Then it should only control us after entering the painting, but why can its power also extend to reality

"Look, every time we publish a painting, we will have an extra ticket for the art museum we want to enter next time. Where did this ticket come from? Our pockets were empty. This ticket is also material, right? ? It is the 'consciousness of painting' that made it and made it into our pockets.

"Also, for example, we can't talk about the things in the painting to others outside the painting, otherwise we will go crazy and lead to death. Then what is the force that decides to make us crazy? It is the 'consciousness of the painting', I can't think of anything else besides this explanation.

"So, I always have a feeling that we seem to be shrouded in some kind of consciousness, like a guinea pig in a cage. It tossed us at will, and we can't run out of its palm.

"But the most terrifying thing is... This cage seems to be the real world we have always thought..."
