I'm Really an Alchemist

Chapter 424 Chapter 65 Divination is a Tool of Fate

The fact that Trelawney broke into the arcane classroom with Slytherin was seen by students and professors in the classroom along the way.

Soon, Dumbledore received the news.

He has a big headache.

On the way to the arcane classroom in a hurry, Dumbledore saw Professor McGonagall who was also anxious and dragging his green robe. Other students were curiously poking their heads out of the classroom, but they were scolded and ordered not to go out.

"Principal, we must stop Professor Trelawney as soon as possible!"

Minerva-McGonagall was very awed: "The conflict between the two professors, if this kind of farce is not stopped, Hogwarts will be ashamed!"

Dumbledore nodded.

The two walked quickly to the arcane classroom.

There were many students standing at the door of the classroom, and they looked around curiously.

Through the window, Dumbledore saw the situation in the arcane professor at a glance. The Slytherin students had malicious intentions, Trelawney had a stiff expression, and Professor Ivan was confident and calm.

just close.

Trelawney let out a questioning shrill laugh.

She said: "No one can do these things!"

Zhou Qi: "If prophecy cannot achieve these three points, how can it predict the future and avoid danger?"

Professor McGonagall frowned, and immediately wanted to disperse the students watching the excitement and prevent the conflict between the two professors; Dumbledore froze, grabbed Minerva-McGonagall, and whispered: "Let's listen, It’s really uncontrollable to show up again.”

As he spoke, he took the initiative to stop behind the students and stared intently at the classroom.

Arcane classroom.

Regarding Zhou Qi's question, Trelawney said mockingly: "Professor Ivan, you don't understand prophecy, it is an ancient and magnificent language! No one can accurately know the future, but prophecy allows me to control my destiny." track."

Zhou Qi smiled.

"Professor Trelawney, how can you be sure that the prophecy you see is just what fate wants you to see?"

Trelawney was stunned, completely unable to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Zhou Qili turned around, picked up the chalk, and wrote a word on the blackboard.

Laplace demon.

People in the wizarding world stared blankly at the unfamiliar words on the blackboard. Hermione, the teaching assistant, opened her eyes slightly, and stepped aside actively, looking forward to the professor's next performance.

"I thought I would teach you this knowledge point later." Zhou Qi said to the full house of students: "As the meeting coincides, Professor Trelawney is here, so I will explain this knowledge point to you first—no need Take notes, and listen to the story."

As he spoke, he looked at the professor of divination with swollen hair.

"Laplace's demon is a scientific hypothesis put forward in 1814, which belongs to the classic assumption under Newton's law, although after the emergence of quantum physics and the microcosm, the determinism of Laplace's demon has been denied."

Students and professors don't know what Laplace's demon is, nor do they know about quantum physics and the microscopic world.

But the name Newton.

Ruiguaner!

No Briton would deny Newton's achievements, even wizards have heard of Newton - a very clever Muggle who was struck on the head with an apple and found the earth attractive.

Wizards can use magic to violate the laws of physics, so for Newton's apple hypothesis, they are all spectators.

Just know that the apple hypothesis has become the truth of the Muggle world.

"If there is a wizard in the world, he can know the state of motion, position and force of all substances and microscopic particles in the world, and analyze these data, he can use Newton's law to grasp the past, present and future of the world .”

"The future will be as clear as the past, nothing is blurred, this is Laplace's demon!"

After Zhou Qi finished speaking, there was silence.

Most of the students are vague and confused.

Dumbledore frowned, and Trelawney's eyes were wide open, extremely confused.

"Professor Ivan, what can you prove with the theory of the Muggle world?" Draco Malfoy also did not understand, but this did not prevent him from sneering: "What Laplace demon is extremely ridiculous, there is no such thing in the world. There is no such wizard!"

Zhou Qi glanced at him and sighed with great regret.

Others can still think after listening.

Malfoy immediately denied it, anti-intellectual thinking is not advisable.

"The Laplace demon is determinism, and its core idea is: everything is predestined!" Zhou Qi knocked on the table to draw everyone's attention: "When will you be born and when will you die? What you will do today, who you will meet tomorrow, these are all preordained from the beginning of the universe.”

"Fate is doomed!" Trelawney finally regained her senses, her sharp voice was like fingernails scratching on a blackboard: "This is the duty of our prophets, to predict the future, grasp fate, and avoid risks."

She puffed out her chest with great pride, and even predicted Voldemort's death herself.

Dumbledore was in a trance when he heard it outside the door. He thought of his miserable family, all of which were destined, and how cruel that fate was.

He sighed inwardly.

I have become a slave of fate, struggling along the trajectory of fate.

In the classroom, Zhou Qi's voice was calm, and he was not at all intimidated by Trelawney's crazy appearance.

"This brings us back to our original question, how can you be sure that the fate you see is not what it wants you to see?"

"The opposite of determinism is quantum observation theory. When an event is not observed, it is in a state of chaos. When it is observed, it becomes stable." Zhou Qi intends to smash all Trelawney's concepts about prophecy, So that she could completely collapse, stand up after breaking down, and throw herself into the arms of arcane arts.

"Do you know about Time-Turner?"

The stunned student finally heard a familiar term, and someone immediately said: "The time converter that can go back to the past, of course I know, it has been destroyed by the Ministry of Magic."

At this time, Dumbledore squeezed into the classroom.

The students who were squatting at the door of the classroom realized that the principal was standing beside them. They panicked for a while, but they were attracted by the big melon in front of them and didn't want to leave.

"headmaster."

"professor!"

The students in the classroom greeted each other, and Trelawney squirmed.

Dumbledore did not stop the discussion, but explained the time converter in a clear and orderly manner. It was invented by wizards and used as a magic tool to travel through time. It can only travel to the past, not the future.

"...The wizard who invented the time-turner realized that what has happened cannot be changed. This magic tool just makes himself a part of history."

Dumbledore's tone was brisk, and he explained the principle of the time-turner in an easy-to-understand manner.

"But—" he changed the topic, and said again: "I have also studied the time converter in the past, and found a lot of tricks that can be used to cheat."

The white wizard smiled, sharing his experience like a good friend.

Both students and professors showed interest.

The white wizard smiled, but his eyes were dignified, and he looked at the musicians on the podium.

"History cannot be changed, but history can be distorted."

The trick Dumbledore explains is exactly what Hermione and Harry do in the books.

The time converter is to let the user become a part of history, you will inevitably travel through time at a certain moment, and all the things you did in the past are predestined.

As with Steins;Gate, when your past self observed the event, it cannot be changed.

When it is not observed, it can change the past and thus affect the future.

"But what does this have to do with the prophecy?" Trelawney said angrily.

Zhou Qidao: "Professor Trelawney, from ancient times to the present, are the prophecies of wizards absolutely correct and have never been changed?"

Trelawney proudly said: "Of course, divination of the future is absolutely infallible!"

Zhou Qi restrained his smile.

He saw the fear rising like a tide in Dumbledore's eyes, and the White Wizard had fully understood it.

"Don't you understand?" The alchemist was not as gentle as before, with a stern expression and an extremely solemn tone: "Your so-called divination of the future is to observe the future and make it from unknown to known."

"So far, there is no possibility of this future changing!"

Trelawney froze.

Her eyes were wide open, and her eyes ranged from questioning, puzzled, puzzled to uneasy.

"Impossible!" Her voice was a little lower, "Divination is just a part of predicting the future, it is something that is destined to happen."

"Since it is destined to happen, it will also be destined to happen regardless of your prediction!" Zhou Qi strode forward with overwhelming momentum, and Trelawney backed away involuntarily.

"Then what is the effect of your prophecy?" Zhou Qi came to Trelawney and looked down at the terrified divination professor.

The divination professor stuttered.

"If you know the future...you can respond in advance..." She couldn't say what to say next.

What if you know the future?

It's just powerless because of fate!

response.

How is it possible to cope?

Trelawney comes from a family of prophetic blood. She knows better than anyone the power of prophecy. It is a predestined destiny. No matter what you do, no matter where you hide, you cannot escape the fate.

What exactly is prophecy?

Trelawney had a frightening, soul-shaking thought.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

All the students had the same idea.

If the future is really unchangeable due to prediction and observation, then where does the ability to predict come from, and what is its appearance?

This fundamentally challenges the wizarding, worldview of the wizarding world.

"Enough!" Dumbledore pleaded, "Professor Ivan, please stop talking, please."

Zhou Qi didn't look back, his voice calmed down.
