Chapter 1198 Kizaru's Future Journey 26 - Double Slit Interference Experiment
As the highest authority in the Navy's scientific corps, Kizaru will not interfere with scientists' scientific experiments. He can turn a blind eye to some things.
His relationship with Vegapunk is pretty good, at least better than that with Caesar Courant. The two scientists often don't get along, and whenever a conflict arises, he needs to mediate.
As time went by, he became interested in optics. As for the use of light, without any experience from his predecessors, Borsalino could only rely on instinct. His use of light was very crude and without any aesthetic sense, and using light to hit people was not very efficient.
Through close contact with the two scientists, although their understanding of light was somewhat distorted, it did provide Borsalino with a lot of ideas.
Kizaru was exposed to cutting-edge theoretical content and relied on the fact that he was the user of the Pika Pika no Mi to make deeper use of light, making some unexpected theories come true.
Vegapunk understood light as a wave and asked his old friend to try to change the frequency range of the output light.
Theoretically, if we find a reasonable range, the light emitted from Borsalino's eyes will have extremely strong penetrating power, and Vegapunk named it X-ray.
After many rounds of experiments on scientific instruments, Borsalino was willing to cooperate again. His IQ was among the best, and after fully understanding what the scientists meant, he successfully reproduced the X-rays in his eyes.
"Light really has the ability to penetrate. Even without using my Observation Haki, I can still see the scenery behind the wall."
After successfully mastering the ability of X-rays, Kizaru used his ability to experiment on the people around him, to see what was hidden under their clothes, and even went a step further to see the movement of every bone.
Borsalino had a lot of fun with this novel scene, looking around in the laboratory with X-rays, but not every scene could be penetrated.
"There is metal that can block my X-rays, preventing them from penetrating and causing everything in my field of vision to appear black," Borsalino pointed the two scientists in a direction.
Caesar Courant immediately guessed the answer, "It's the lead plate. Your X-rays can't penetrate lead. I guess in the future some people will be wary of your ability and will seal important things with lead."
His eyes can release and control X-rays freely, and their penetrating ability is better than his Observation Haki. Kizaru's X-rays can see very far, and the final test results are terrifying.
As long as there is no lead blocking him, he can see everything within dozens of kilometers. If Kizaru continues to train this ability and compress the light output of his glasses, he will be able to see farther and there will be no statistical upper limit.
On the day he gained this ability, Borsalino took off his uniform and returned to the Sabaody Archipelago. While walking down the street in disguise, he accidentally used the X-ray in his eyes.
He found that all the living creatures around him were naked in his eyes. He could see clearly whether a woman's breasts were real and whether there was something inside.
The ability to see through things so conveniently allowed Admiral Kizaru to feast his eyes in the Sabaody Archipelago. He even made a bet with a pirate he knew (Rayleigh) on the color of the underwear that a woman passing by was wearing.
Under the perspective of X-ray, no living creature can escape detection, and all the expenses needed for a day can be recovered. Borsalino likes this ability very much, it is a must-have for gentlemen.
He also tried to use X-rays to penetrate the scene on the seabed, but the sea water interfered with the light (waves), so he couldn't see as far as on land.
With this ability, Borsalino can flexibly control the problem of whether he uses heavy or light hands when going on a mission. He can use X-rays to understand the specific damage in the pirate's body and ensure that he does not kill the pirate.
The easiest way to do it is to cripple the pirates and then take them away in exchange for a bounty. There is no money to be made by killing a pirate. Borsalino would not do such a stupid thing. Only Akainu likes to kill pirates and do thankless tasks.
The use of X-rays proves the Vegapunk theory, which emphasizes that light is a wave, and if the output power of light is enhanced, it will cause strong thermal radiation.
Borsalino strengthened the energy supply of light, and finally, as Vegapunk described, the strong thermal radiation brought about terrifying heat. After releasing the improved version of the Eight-foot Mirror, the strong light was enough to burn even stones.
After seeing this scene, Vegapunk refreshed his understanding of the nature-type devil fruit. If theoretically there is no upper limit to the power, the power possessed by Borsalino is already on a terrifying level that humans cannot imagine.
Vegapunk insisted that light was a wave, which caused dissatisfaction in Caesar Courant. He did not want to be inferior to Vegapunk. He was already inferior to others in terms of bloodline factors, and did not want to lose to Big Head in optics.
In order to prove that light is a particle, César Courant frantically conducted experimental comparisons and finally came up with the somewhat weird double-slit interference experiment, which opened another door to optics for Borsalino.
The first time he did the double-slit interference experiment, César Courant almost went crazy. He thought there was something wrong with his experimental equipment and started to curse the assistant beside him.
He conducted a comparative experiment between interference and non-interference, as if there was an invisible hand that knew everything in advance, and the experimental results violated the law of causality.
Before Caesar Courant went crazy, he recommended this experiment to Vegapunk. Who would have thought that after the experiment, Big Brain would become even crazier than the Gas Man.
He tried the double-slit interference experiment thousands of times and played with all kinds of control variables, but in the end it still violated the law of causality. During that time, Vegapunk felt as if the world was fake!
There is an invisible big hand playing with the minds of the two scientists. Caesar Courant and Vegapunk have become a little crazy, and the scientists' sanity is constantly declining.
Fortunately, Kizaru, who had been out, returned in time and was used as experimental material by the two scientists. They asked him to control the emission of photons and conduct multiple rounds of double-slit interference experiments. The experiment lasted for more than ten days.
In the end, the two scientists agreed that light has the dual nature of wave and particle, that is, it is both light and a particle, and in theory, light can go back to the past and the future.
The double-slit interference experiment proves that light can enter the future and the past freely without external interference. Since the laboratory can do it, Admiral Kizaru should be able to do it as well.
At first, Borsalino only thought that the two scientists were blinded by scientific phenomena. How could light go to the future and the past at will?
Ordinary people's understanding of time is that it is linear and moves forward along a line without suddenly moving backward or forward.
Kizaru's knowledge is the same as most people's. His mind is full of double-slit interference experiments, and even the dreams he has when he is resting in his bedroom are all related to scientific experiments.
A breakthrough from zero to one, something that Kizaru had never thought of before, actually reappeared unconsciously in his dream, and he was able to conduct the double-slit interference experiment by himself.
When he woke up, he was inexplicably returned to 24 hours ago. He still retained the memory of the past day, while everyone else remembered nothing.
The familiar scene was playing out before his eyes again. Borsalino initially thought that he was confused in his sleep, maybe it was a dream within a dream, or maybe the two scientists were playing a prank on him and letting the people around him play along.
