Chapter 358
His Holiness Prometheus was very optimistic, but Adam wasn't sure if the mages would be able to accept the experiment and theory that could destroy their worldview without any damage.
In fact, Adam had written many papers during this period of time, but he hadn't published them. This was because the contents of these papers were poles apart from the understanding that mages had of the world. In other words, it was the opposite of what mages already knew about the world.
Even whether or not to carry out this experiment in front of everyone was something that Adam had only decided after careful consideration.
It was Croft's theory about the box that helped him make the decision. Since the sorcerers could accept the concept of the mind interfering with matter, then …
What Adam wanted to show them, they should be able to accept it too.
Right?
After some thought, Adam still felt that it wasn't safe. Those who were qualified to visit the Atomic Energy Research Institute were all high-ranking Hyperdimensional sorcerers. Once the news of the institute's important experiment spread, it would definitely attract many Hyperdimensional sorcerers who had free time. If they were affected by the impact of their beliefs, their cognitive world would shatter, their soul would disintegrate, and their knowledge system would collapse. As the initiator, Adam couldn't bear that kind of responsibility.
"Your Majesty, it's better not to publicize this experiment. I think it's better to only allow the sorcerers in the institute to visit for now. " They had been dealing with the microscopic particles of the microscopic world for the past few years, so they should have more or less discovered some inexplicable problems. Adam believed that they would be able to accept it more easily.
"It's that serious?" Prometheus asked in surprise.
"It could be more serious."
Two more mental projections appeared in the office. Croft asked, "You want to verify the existence of the new particle?"
Adam shook his head. "No, I want to verify some of the properties of the particle."
Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, Adam didn't know how to explain it. Before he could show them the results of the experiment, anything that came out of Adam's mouth would give them the feeling that he was talking nonsense. No one would believe him, and they would only think that he was crazy.
Mayer said, "If it's a small scale, then it's a small scale. Perhaps this experiment will be difficult? How many times do we have to do it? It's not a bad idea to make it public after the experiment is proven successful. "
The two Holiness accepted the opinion of Meyer's True Spirit and thought that it was Adam's cautious decision, so they nodded and said, "Okay, if you insist."
Adam let out a sigh of relief. If the only observers were the mages of the Atomic Energy Research Institute, even if there were any accidents, they could be contained within a small area and would not cause too serious of a consequence.
As for the True Spirit Lords, there was nothing Adam could do. It was impossible to stop them from observing the experiment. He could only hope that nothing would happen to them.
Adam even comforted himself that perhaps the mages would simply accept the results of the experiment. After all, this was a supernatural world.

One by one, the experimental equipment was moved into the research facility. After some thought, Adam decided not to separate the double-slit experiment. Instead, he wanted to perform a series of experiments one by one. At the very least, he wanted the mages to see the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles first. Perhaps it would be helpful for their future understanding.
On the third day after the application was submitted, nearly a hundred Advanced Hyperdimensional Mages in the research facility put down their work and entered the secret room built by Adam.
They were very curious. All the ideas proposed by their director were very novel, and most of them were proposed in a casual manner. The last time they formally gathered everyone, the research gave birth to the nuclear explosion magic. Now, they were very much looking forward to what kind of profound knowledge and powerful magic would be born from the next experiment.
The mages did not realize that what was about to unfold in front of them would be a scene that defied common sense. They were very happy now. Before the experiment began, they discussed with two or three companions, either sharing the results of their research or bragging about the level of their nuclear explosion magic.
As the time for the experiment approached, Prometheus, Kroft, and Mayer descended upon their will projections, and through his perception, Adam could sense the gazes of the other True Spirits.
At this time, clones walked out from behind Adam and went to their respective positions.
Adam lit up the light screen and said:
"Everybody, the experiment that I'm about to perform may have a certain impact on your inherent cognition. If you feel that your cognitive world is unstable during the experiment, please leave the darkroom immediately, or keep the meditation technique in mind and stick to the knowledge and power that you've gained." Then he said to Prometheus' True Spirit, "Your Holiness, please use your Mage Armor to provide soul protection for everyone present."
His Holiness nodded, and in an instant, an exquisite Mage Armor fell on everyone present. Everyone looked at this scene in shock, and suddenly there was a clamor of discussion. They were all Advanced Hyperdimensional Mages. What kind of situation would cause them to be unable to maintain their own souls and need the protection of the True Spirit's power?
His Holiness shouted: "Silence!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was quiet, Adam said: "After this period of research and discovery, you should already know what particles are. As for waves, we are always in contact with them in our lives. Sound has sound waves, water has water waves, and they need a medium to propagate. They can be collectively referred to as mechanical waves. "
He wrote the words "wave-particle duality" on the light screen: "If you have read my paper, you will know that there is another kind of wave in the Ether Void. I call it electromagnetic waves. Except for the different medium of propagation, electromagnetic waves are generally similar to mechanical waves. The purpose of the experiment I'm going to do is to let everyone see that all particles can be partially described not only in terms of particles, but also in terms of waves. They are interconnected. "
Everyone could not help but discuss again. In their minds, particles were particles, and waves were waves. How could two different things be interconnected?
Adam ignored the noise and ordered the clones to place the experiment equipment in the designated position. Then he stood there and waited patiently for a few minutes. After everyone stopped talking, he directly started the experiment.
After the three experiments of light interference, photoelectric effect, and Compton effect were completed, no matter how stubborn they were, they had to accept the fact that light had both wave and particle properties at the same time.
However, more doubts followed. A seventh-level Hyperdimensional Mage stood up and asked: "Even if your theory of electromagnetic waves is correct, how can you prove that the wave-particle duality of light is not a coincidence? And how can you prove that this phenomenon can be generalized to microscopic particles? "
