The greatest science fiction in history is hot in nature.
Nature magazine is one of the most famous scientific magazines in the world, and it is generally only published in the field of science with original and pioneering research papers. However, the recent issue of "nature" has unexpectedly published a short story titled "The greatest science-fiction story ever written"!
more surprisingly, this 2000 word little said that it caused a whirlwind at home and abroad. "Reading the upsurge", reading around a few big questions: "nature" magazine has received so many new discoveries every day, why this time will publish a short science fiction? "The greatest science fiction of history" where the great? The ultimate question: "the greatest science fiction of history", can you read the
magazine editor "what medicine to sell in the gourd"
in October 28th, the 467th issue of Nature magazine published a short story titled "the greatest science fiction in history." First, in the nature of the journal, the readers, students and scholars in the field of science, chemistry and biology have caused great waves.
"the world's top scientific journals are numbered, and tens of thousands of researchers in the field of physical and chemical science have struggled all their lives, perhaps to publish something in the journal Nature and science. Nowadays, a science fiction occupies a place in the layout of the territory, which is quite curious. Wang Lei, a doctoral student in bioenergy in Britain, shared this science fiction with his classmates for the first time.
in fact, although most of the articles published in the journal Nature are scientific facts, they will also issue a page of science fiction at each issue. The main reason for the "scientific youth" is that nature is known for respecting scientific facts, and giving people the sense of "rigorous" and "calm". This time the science fiction is published. The title of the light is "rather not cool": "the greatest science fiction in history." The academic circle was wondering: "what medicine to sell in the gourd"?
"quantum mechanics" secretly laughs
after two weeks, "the greatest science fiction in history" has become the most downloaded article of the "nature" magazine network. At the same time, the focus of attention has been developed from the purpose of speculation magazine editors to interpret this "greatest science fiction in history".
someone belongs to the "Qi" type: "what is a fiction that can squeeze out the scientific papers that other cattle have been trying to prove?" of course, more people belong to the "self-test" type: "see if you can read the greatest science fiction"! "
the novel is actually a contribution. Things. The hero is a science fiction novelist. Because of his repeated withdrawal, "how can I write what the editor likes?" after a friend engaged in quantum loop research, he built a quantum probability wave function with a quantum computer program. The powerful place this "wave function" is: "as long as someone observes the content, function will become the contents of observation of human love." However, the hero still received a letter of rejection: "this is the greatest science fiction ever written." But don't you think that Asimov's "dusk" is copied and unnoticed? "
in the" scientific youth ", the novel's smile is that it makes a boring" quantum mechanics "humorous. Quantum mechanics is the relative concept of classical mechanics. Classical mechanics holds that things are determined in space, such as the length of a ruler, whether or not it is measured, its length is determined. Quantum mechanics holds that everything is uncertain before it is measured, and this uncertainty is a probability function. Figuratively speaking, once someone has measured it, the wave function, which is full of numerous possible waves, is "subsided" instead of a definite measurement value.
"the problem is that the magazine editor's brain is not an indeterminate function to the best novel, and the man has long recognized that dusk is the best novel." Xiao Qin, a physics student at Tsinghua University, laughed at the novel.
nature has also played a humour?
as the novel is shared and spread by Internet users on the Internet, the net friends gradually converge into a question, saying that there are some problems: "the wave function in the novel finally collapses and becomes" dusk ", because" dusk "is the greatest novel in the world. So the wave function collapses into it? Or because editors think "dusk" is the greatest novel in the world, so the wave function is turned into "dusk" according to the editor's preference? "
along with this idea, netizens both home and abroad are" collectively re reading "the novel and forming a" new discovery ":" editor's last Words betrayed their feelings: for the greatest novels, they had a subjective set in mind. Therefore, the selection of the novel is in itself a matter of the different views of the different people and the wise. What is the significance of the greatest novel in the world? "I did not think that a scientific joke was directed at the literary world. A domestic netizen bluntly said, "this satirize the so-called literary selection."
at this point, some people are reluctant to accept literary criticism. "What is the selection of literature? In fact, our thinking habits have long been decided. For us, what is the best scenery, the greatest novel, the most beloved person, this is the mind that is abducted by the mind." Some people also start to "read" from other angles. Some people call this a fable about honesty. With the help of quantum wave function, we can create "the greatest science fiction in history" and unfortunately become the version of quantum mechanics. Some people praise this article from the literary point of view.
there is no final version of the novel. Netizens say that this is probably the "greatness" of the novel and the original intention of "nature". "The essay has triggered a brainstorming, which is no less than a thesis on major discoveries in science."
of course, more people admire the sense of humor in nature.
put quantum humor on the mantle of quantum mechanics.
