The news about Lin Qi's "disappearance" had actually spread from the mouths of scientists. Of course, they had not done so intentionally. They had simply mentioned it while chatting, and the information had leaked out.
Some people were discussing why nearly every research group was studying quantum mechanics and Quantum Entanglement. A scientist working in the field answered the question.
Based on the results of observing changes in quantum states, they were a medium more suitable for transmitting information than photons.
Put simply, when two particles were in an entangled state, observing one end would cause the other end to display the state of the first. It was like the phenomenon of "you clap once, I clap once," and the speed after entanglement was far faster than the speed of light.
By now, scientists had conducted extensive research, but they still could not solve the problem of determining whether what they observed was what they intended to observe.
When you could observe both ends of an entangled pair at the same time, you naturally knew that their changes were identical. But how could you ensure that, at a certain distance away, where no one could see, the things being observed at both ends were also consistent?
The quantum state was a strange thing, with extremely bizarre uncertainty. Combined with humanity's inability to explain many physical phenomena, this meant that long-distance quantum communications still had several unsolvable problems.
The scientists were merely having an ordinary discussion. Casual conversation and sharing were part of their daily lives.
Another scientist asked almost instinctively, "Does this mean that we've actually lost contact with Mr. Lin Qi?"
The scientist answering the question froze for a moment, then thought it over. "You could put it that way."
"That's terrible!"
The scientists had not treated the matter
