Xu You knew that the subject Lu Zhiyao was researching should be related to quantum.

In order to complete her graduation project, Lu Zhiyao specifically asked Xu You for a lot of relevant professional knowledge.

Being able to combine science and philosophy together made Xu You look forward to Lu Zhiyao's thesis very much.

In the evening, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao returned to Xu You's house in the family courtyard of Ji family.

After arriving home, Lu Zhiyao turned on the computer and asked Xu You to read her thesis.

"Look first, I'll make you a fruit salad." Lu Zhiyao said.

Lu Zhiyao's paper is 20,000 words long, and the content is very obscure.

The number of references alone is nearly one hundred.

This is relatively rare in undergraduate thesis in philosophy departments.

It takes a lot of time to read it carefully.

"Okay, then I will start to read classmate Yaoyao's masterpiece."

Xu You glanced at the title of the thesis first, and was immediately attracted to it.

【Physics and Philosophy in the Quantum World】

Xu You didn't know how much philosophical research was related to Neo Confucianism.

But Xu You guessed that such studies should be very few.

When reading this paper by Lu Zhiyao, Xu You quickly entered a state of flow.

In this paper, Lu Zhiyao introduced a lot of professional knowledge in quantum physics.

Part of the content comes from Xu You's guidance.

Because the content is highly professional, Xu You felt like he was reading a physics paper for a while.

But after this, a large philosophical element began to appear in the paper.

Lu Zhiyao explained the concepts of physics such as quantum information, quantum matter, and quantum entanglement from a philosophical point of view and linked them together.

These explanations are not empty comparisons.

In physics and philosophy, both present a very professional attitude.

After reading the whole paper, Xu You couldn't be calm for a long time.

"Awesome, the best philosophy essay I've ever read!"

Xu You has not read many philosophical papers, but Xu You has read a lot of philosophical books.

But there has never been a philosophical article that can bring such a big impact to Xu You.

Maybe it's because some philosophical viewpoints are too profound, and with Xu You's current ability, he still can't understand them well.

But from a subjective point of view, this is Xu You's best philosophical essay.

Through reading in a state of flow, Xu You can already memorize every word of this paper.

Even so, there are some concepts in the paper that Xu You still needs time to digest further.

At this time, Lu Zhiyao returned to the room with the freshly made fruit salad.

"Come on, try it quickly. You are usually very tired from work, so eat more fruits to supplement your nutrition."

"Okay, thank you Yaoyao."

Tasting the love fruit salad made by Lu Zhiyao, Xu You only felt sweet and sour, refreshing.

The appearance of Lu Zhiyao made Xu You's house feel like home.

"Then keep reading, I'll help you clean the house." Lu Zhiyao said.

It only took Lu Zhiyao a few minutes to make the fruit salad.

Lu Zhiyao subconsciously felt that in such a short period of time, Xu You would definitely not be able to finish reading her thesis.

"Wait a minute! Let me ask you about your paper first."

Lu Zhiyao was taken aback when he heard this.

"What? Have you finished reading it?"

"Well, it's over."

Lu Zhiyao thought, why is Xu You so fast this time.

No matter how quick Xu You was, he could read a 20,000-word essay with very obscure content in just a few minutes, the speed is really incredible.

What Lu Zhiyao didn't know was that Xu You had always been very fast in this regard.

There is even such a feat of "hot tea to solve difficult problems".

"You won't... just glanced at it?"

Lu Zhiyao was a little worried. If Xu You had just read it roughly, he would definitely not be able to understand the essence of the paper.

In this case, Lu Zhiyao must be somewhat disappointed in her heart.

"No, no, no, I really read it carefully, and I can already memorize this thesis. If you don't believe me, I will recite a few paragraphs for you."

After listening to Xu You casually recited a few passages, Lu Zhiyao finally believed that Xu You was seriously reading her thesis.

Even Lu Zhiyao herself was unable to recite her own thesis completely.

"To be honest, I'm a little worried that the physics part of my thesis will take up too much, and it feels a bit off topic."

Xu You also understood Lu Zhiyao's worry.

Speaking of which, most teachers of philosophy majors may not have a very high level of physics.

If you don't even know what the physical concepts in this paper mean.

It is very likely that Lu Zhiyao's expression in the thesis cannot be understood at all, which will affect the grade evaluation of Lu Zhiyao's thesis.

"Yaoyao, first of all, I can be sure that this is definitely a very good paper. I have never seen anyone who can integrate physics and philosophy so perfectly. Of course, your worry is also true. It exists objectively. Most of the philosophical articles I have seen rarely have such a close connection with science.”

"So, what's your suggestion?"

"We can't control the grades those teachers give you. If you don't care about these, you can boldly stick to this paper without changing a single word. If you are really worried, you can choose another one that is safer Plan-B. If this paper is not approved by those teachers, we will submit it to other journals."

Through careful reading, Xu You knew that such quality is not just a first draft.

Xu You, who has written many papers independently, knows what the format requirements of papers are.

But even if Xu You evaluated this paper with the strictest eyes, he couldn't even find a single typo or format error in the paper.

"Well, I also think this is safer. Then I will write a paper that is easier to understand later. Anyway, it doesn't take too much time."

Compared with science and engineering subjects, the time cost for literature and history subjects to change a topic is still much less.

After expressing his thoughts, Xu You began to ask Lu Zhiyao for some specific points in the thesis.

"Yaoyao, do you think that in the quantum world, information is matter?"

"That's right. Because in the quantum world, energy, frequency, and mass are all closely related. These three properties are equivalent to a certain extent..."

When Lu Zhiyao stated these points of view, she took out many formulas as arguments, which seemed very convincing.

Listening to Lu Zhiyao's explanation, Xu You felt as if a lot of knowledge had been poured into his brain suddenly.
