About the physics of a door

A few years ago when I was in Lijiang, I met a man from Manchester. We played basketball together. It was next to the Red Army headquarters on Lion Rock. We also discussed Mr. Holmes—I can provoke it with the United Kingdom. The topics involved are really limited. He smiled and said, oh, that was our industrial revolution period. This confirms the coldness and alienation of my impression of the background of this novel. The tapping of carriages on the streets of winter night echoed in the gaze of the cold street lamp, and the town exudes a desperate gloom-(e.g. "Time machine"). Later, this scene appeared on the screen from time to time, especially those unlucky servants who were bet on the road by the emerging bourgeoisie with both pride and ambition or Newtonian scientists who were found to be irritated with red eyes. They seemed to think that they were so Not only discovered the distant new continent, but also discovered the vast and boundless scientific boundary.

Scientist Paul Davis once concluded: If the 19th century is the age of machines and the 20th century is the information age, then the 21st century is undoubtedly the quantum age. This is not only a summary of the modern history of mankind from the perspective of physics, but also a portrayal of the history of science fiction movies to some extent.

In the final analysis, science fiction movies reflect people’s attitudes towards new technologies and the future world: either joy or pessimism or fear or surprise, what more sensitive directors infer from the chaos and chaos of today’s world is the despair and disintegration behind the prosperity and carnival of tomorrow. They It's called Doomsday Judgment. This is more in line with my worldview. Human beings are really bad fucking animals. Destroying themselves and this world is inevitable. At this point, Comrade Terry Gilliam seems to have the same feelings as Orson Wells and Cameron. In addition to those late films with fierce and angry attitudes, even the early "Time Bandit" we can also compare Idiot parents who like to nest in the living room sofa and watch idiot variety TV shows see our own shadows, although this film looks more like a children's comedy or a super continent trip from Comrade Meili Ai. But Comrade Gilliam and the latter two are actually not the same. The children in Gilliam’s story always travel alone outside this boring and messy world, or they know that this world is going to the end of darkness but can’t do anything about it. , Can only stare blankly ---- or bury the head alone and continue to play the lonely and sad game.

The only one who jumped out of this dim electron spin state was Adams. The protagonist in his works obviously inherited many of the traits of the explorer Mr. Tompkins described by Kamov, and he likes to wander in inexplicable time-space worlds and experiences. It is absurd and interesting, and even confusing.

This is a typical quantum world story, everything starts with a seam and ends with a seam. It is this narrow slit that we arbitrarily open and close that allows scientists to discover the secret behind this world. They call this slit a "sliding door". A quantum squeezes in through this door. We have no way of knowing what happened. Unless we start paying attention to it, in the movie, it becomes Gwyneth Paltrow---a beautiful and depressed girl.

About this movie can still be traced back to Kunming. I was floating in that city a few years ago. A bar I often go to is behind Yunda. Next to it is another famous bar "Stone"---opened by a young girl who used to stay in "Camel". of. In the "stone" you can climb the ladder up to the roof of the bar and sit and drink beer in the sun. This is really interesting. That day, I was listening to a fascinating foreign CD-African tambourine music at "Stone". A girl came in and asked the boss if there was a movie called "Sliding Door" after looking through the DVD on the shelf. That was the first time I heard of this strange movie. At that time, I had not received the training on the nature of time and space in "Twelve Monkeys". At that time, a British guy named Anthony Hey and another guy named Patrick Walters co-wrote a film called "THE NEW QUANTUM UNIVERSE" ( The New Quantum World) book has not yet come out. Although the famous "JONBAR POINT" refers to an event point that splits the world into different time and space, from an early novel called "The Legion of Time", the term has been around for half a century.

The "sliding door" is exactly this terrible physical point, and it is also an ordinary door in the subway. Because of a child's accidental obstruction, the heroine who hurried down the subway passage steps ran up to the platform and finally squeezed in (or did not squeeze in at all) This train door is about to close, and since then the heroine has finally embarked on two completely different revolutionary roads (despite "Blind Hit", "Lola Run", "Vini Loka's Double Life", "Bo "Hit Club", "Love Letters"... all look like different interpretations of this proposition)---This is also very similar to the famous underground TV series that was lurking in the KMT Shanghai period in the recently hit TV series "The Accusation" Party agent---the Americans call him "Mr. Key". In fact, how do you know that there is no other future China after the Kuomintang has finally cracked all underground parties, or the Germans have defeated the Soviet regime and conquered the world? But what the director actually wants to say is just an ordinary physical phenomenon: all possible paths hidden in a quantum wave function will eventually "collapse" into a fixed result because of our observations. All our changes were in vain. This is both the seriousness of physics and the irreversible tragedy of our destiny.

But I also have other points of view: our tragic fate may come from what we call beautiful but in fact blindly terrifying things-love. Feynman once said: "...The (quantum) wave function obeys the Schrödinger equation and is an incredible complex composed of infinitely many probability amplitudes. If I gamble in Las Vegas (Feynman One of the many things that my husband likes to do), just about to bet money on the 22nd of a roulette (the paradox of the military rule?), at this moment a girl next to me saw a person she knew, I spilled the drink I was drinking, so I stopped and didn’t put the money on it. At this time, the roulette stopped on the 22nd (Gosh!). As you can see, for me personally, the whole The movement of the universe will depend on the event that some small photons hit her retina. In this way, the entire universe will be forked by every atomic event."

I think that girl is just like the beautiful girl in "Sliding Door" Gwyneth Paltrow, she absolutely fell into a sudden love at that moment, flustered and stunned, her unintentional behavior ended Mr. Feynman's otherwise beautiful and dying life.
