Chapter 424 The Third Blues Conference! The annual meeting is over! The academic world is shocked! The world begins!
After Li Qiwei's report, everyone present thought that today's annual meeting would also be over.
This annual meeting is definitely one of the most memorable annual meetings of the Royal Society.
Its influence can even be compared with Lord Kelvin's "Dark Cloud Speech" in 1900.
Of course, the historical significance is definitely not as good as the latter.
But the confrontation between two top physicists, the collision of wisdom and wisdom, coupled with the shocking Chinese Tai Chi diagram.
It undoubtedly added a touch of mystery to the annual meeting.
Suddenly, everyone was shocked to realize that Professor Bruce was the protagonist of these two important reports.
However, nineteen years ago, the other party stood like an ant; nineteen years later, the other party descended to earth like a god and was worshiped by all living beings.
And now, what big news will he announce?
Facing the expectations of the big guys, Li Qiwei smiled and said:
"Since the war broke out in Europe, almost no international conferences have been held in the world."
"The Blues Conference in Physics was not immune."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big guys in the venue suddenly became short of breath.
"Oh God, are the blues conference finally starting again?"
The physicists present had their eyes shining.
The Blues Conference was literally larger than life to them.
Because it is a conference about the past, present and future of physics, it is the guiding light in the heart of any physics practitioner.
Looking at the excited expressions of everyone, Li Qiwei continued:
"I believe everyone should have guessed it."
"That's right, I'm going to keep doing blues sessions."
“Some time ago, I attended the inaugural meeting of the International Astronomical Union.”
"Their first general meeting was scheduled for 1922."
"Physics cannot be ranked second to astronomy."
Everyone smiled knowingly.
"The first blues conference was in 1909, the second in 1912."
"The original third session was supposed to be in 1915, and the fourth session was in 1918."
"Since these two sessions were delayed by the war and were not held, they cannot be skipped, so the third session will be next."
"This can also reflect from the side the difficulty of scientific research. I think it has historical and symbolic significance."
"So, I decided that the third Blues Conference will be held on October 30, 1921."
"Here, I also call on the big guys in all disciplines."
"It's time to unite and bring scientific research back to the light!"
Wow!
At this moment, even with the state of mind of the big guys present, they couldn't help but get excited.
The Blues Conference has long transcended the confines of physics.
It is the supreme meeting not only of physics but of all science.
It is like a flag flying in the sky of science, inspiring all scientists to move forward.
The excitement of the previous two conferences is still talked about to this day.
Everyone believes that the third Blues Conference will definitely be more earth-shattering.
Because in the past year, science has exploded.
The 1919 Annual Meeting of the Royal Society finally came to an end.
Everyone was still in awe, recalling the shocking moments at the meeting.
The contents of the report from that year's meeting were released and spread, instantly causing an endless sensation.
Rutherford's fame reached a higher level, resounding throughout the physics community.
After all, his proton-electron model is comparable to Professor Bruce's proton-neutron model.
Until the day of experimental verification, the two will never be able to tell the real winner.
At the same time, Rutherford also earned the title "Atom Ripper".
Visually express his contribution to the atomic nucleus.
In today's field of physics, everyone is subtly accepting a fact.
That is, the Nobel Prize is no longer worthy of certain physicists.
Such is the case with Rutherford.
His achievements surpass many other Nobel Prize winners by more than one level.
The Nobel Prizes here only include the three major awards in natural sciences.
For such a big shot, using the Nobel Prize to summarize his achievements is even derogatory.
And above Rutherford, the myth within myths, that man, makes people kneel down.
"Professor Bruce is really terrible. How long has passed since then? After the wave-particle duality of light, he actually proposed the proton-neutron model."
"Doesn't that man have no limits?"
"Can human wisdom really be infinite?"
"The Chinese Tai Chi diagram is so amazing and shocking, I even think it is a shrunken universe."
"From today on, I will start to study Chinese culture carefully."
At this moment, everyone was shocked by Li Qiwei again.
That man left for five years and came back still a god!
Standing on the nine heavens, overlooking the vast land, looking down at the world!
His age has long passed his peak, but his strength seems to have not yet reached its peak.
Every move shakes up the entire physics world and opens up new research directions.
His thoughts are broad, lofty and all-encompassing.
His intuition is as clear as day and night.
Everyone can already imagine that at the third Blues Conference, that man will shock the world again.
——
Institute of Radium Science, Paris, France.
This is a research institute specially established for Marie Curie by the University of Paris in order to win over her.
The institute is divided into two parts: radiology laboratory and biology laboratory.
Both laboratories study the effects of the radioactive element radium, but their focus is different.
The former mainly studies the basic properties of radium, while the latter studies the biological applications of radium.
Marie Curie was the head of the radiology laboratory.
After she finishes teaching at the University of Paris, she will return to the institute and continue to engage in front-line research.
Although Marie Curie won the Double Nobel Prize, she never cared about these vanities.
I still insist on doing experiments every day and conduct in-depth research on radium.
She only has scientific career in her eyes.
At the same time, she also trained many young scholars here.
During the war, the Radium Institute, under the leadership of Marie Curie, contributed greatly to France’s medical aid.
Marie Curie also received a gold medal from the French government.
As for the previous scandal between her and Lang Zhiwan, no one dares to mention it anymore, otherwise they will be cast aside by the people.
And Irena, who won the individual silver medal in the first Physics Olympiad, became a household name in France.
After graduating from university, she was appointed by Marie Curie as an "assistant" in the radiology laboratory.
Among all the students in the laboratory, Irena is the most talented.
For the elderly Marie Curie, Irena gave her great comfort.
At this moment, the mother and daughter were talking to each other.
Irena, who is 22 years old this year, is as tall as her mother Marie Curie.
She is a little less lively and cheerful than before, and has become more quiet and determined, never wavering in the path she has chosen.
"Mom, I'm going to apply for Uncle Bruce's doctoral program next year."
"Maybe I can become the first PhD student at the Quantum Institute."
Irena is in a great mood now.
After the war, everything was on track.
Not only can she engage in her favorite scientific research career, but she can also often see her favorite Uncle Bruce. Madame Curie touched her daughter’s head and said with a smile:
"Irena, you can definitely do it."
"Your Uncle Bruce has been doing great things lately."
"You should read the recent Royal Society report."
When it came to academic physics issues, Irena immediately became excited.
"Professor Rutherford is really amazing."
"His proton-electron model is not as good as Uncle Bruce's proton-neutron model."
"But it started a research boom in atomic nuclear models."
"Without his inspiration, Uncle Bruce might not have thought of new models."
"Now, with the proton-neutron model, I can help my mother study the radioactivity of radium more deeply."
Madame Curie nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Yes, Professor Rutherford's results are so important."
"Next, radiology research will definitely become a new craze, no worse than quantum theory and relativity."
"Irena, you will definitely have a bright future."
Marie Curie knew that her daughter’s chosen subject was radiology.
With a powerful theoretical weapon like the atomic nuclear model, Irena will definitely be able to achieve something with her intelligence.
Irena said confidently: "I will definitely not let Uncle Bruce down."
Suddenly, she felt that this sentence was a bit inappropriate, and quickly added with a smile:
"Hey, I won't let you down, mom."
Madame Curie smiled bitterly in her heart.
Mother and daughter are connected, how could she not understand what her daughter is thinking.
That is the most precious dream in a girl's heart.
However, it is destined to be illusory and unrealistic.
Madame Curie did not say anything to wake her up. She believed that Irena could understand it herself.
When their mother and daughter were most helpless, the man stepped forward and left an indelible mark on Irena.
This is a fatal attraction for any woman, let alone a little girl.
But Madame Curie guessed right, Irena was not an ordinary child.
She is precocious than her peers and has her own perseverance and scientific dreams.
She will always bury that feeling in her heart as the most profound memory in her life.
People can yearn for dreams, but they cannot chase them, otherwise they will shatter like a bubble.
Irena chooses to embrace reality.
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Madame Curie recovered from her emotions.
At this time, a young man walked in.
Seeing the visitor, Madame Curie's face suddenly showed a smile.
"Oh, it's Yorio."
"Did you encounter any problems again today?"
Jolio was about to speak excitedly when he suddenly realized that Irena was here too.
As a result, the question I was about to ask was immediately silenced. I couldn't think of anything and couldn't open my mouth.
"Um, um, sorry, professor, I didn't know that Irena was here too."
"I'm not disturbing you."
Madame Curie smiled and said: "Don't worry, Joliot."
"Irena and I were just discussing the annual meeting report of the Royal Society."
"Professors Bruce and Rutherford's analysis of the atomic nucleus model is crucial to radiological research."
"You must study carefully the paper they just published after compiling it."
Jorio nodded seriously quickly, glanced at Irena secretly, and then quickly retracted.
At this time, Irena stood up from her position, walked to his side, and said:
"Why, I can eat people. You don't dare to speak when you see me."
Jorio waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, no, no."
At this moment, in front of Madame Curie, he did not dare to be presumptuous at all. Compared with his usual enthusiasm, intelligence and liveliness, he was completely different.
Madame Curie smiled slightly and saw through it at a glance.
In terms of intelligence, Yorio is the second best student in the academy after Irena.
He did not receive a good family education since he was a child, but through his own efforts, he was admitted to the Paris School of Physics and Chemistry.
It was at this school that Marie Curie and her husband Curie discovered the element radium.
Therefore, Marie Curie had a natural affection for Joliot.
Yorio himself is also very impressive. Not only was he first in every field during school, he also studied hard after entering the Radium Research Institute.
Soon, he became Marie Curie's good assistant and often discussed physics problems with her.
Irena also likes this handsome guy.
Because she saw the other person's sincerity.
Once, Jorio invited Irena to his home.
When visiting the other party's bedroom, Irena found a huge photo on the bedside.
The above content is exactly what her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Curie, looked like working in the laboratory.
You can tell by looking at the yellowed edges of the photo that it has been posted for at least four or five years.
Jorio said sincerely:
"The people I admire most are Mr. and Mrs. Curie."
"It was them who made me firm in my scientific ideals."
"And you, Irena."
"You are not only the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Curie, you are perseverant, independent, knowledgeable and beautiful."
"I have a lot to learn from you in the field of radiology."
Wow!
If it were any other girl, she would have fallen into despair at this moment.
This is definitely a master at seducing girls.
No matter how lively Irena was, she was a little panicked, and she immediately rushed out of the door.
From that day on, the relationship between the two became weird and complicated.
Recently, Yorio has been working harder than ever.
Because he knew that Irena wanted to apply for Professor Bruce's doctoral studentship.
And he also wanted to try.
But as we all know, Professor Bruce is notoriously strict.
Yorio was worried about whether he could pass the opponent's test.
Although he was a genius in the eyes of others, genius was too cheap in front of that man.
Therefore, Jorio knows his priorities. He must start his career first and then talk about other things.
This is also the reason why Irena likes him. He is meticulous and sincere about science.
In real history, Joliot and Irena were like the Curies back then, working side by side in the laboratory.
The year 1919 passed by with great vigor.
This year, Li Qiwei made a strong return and once again set off a storm in the field of physics.
He announced to everyone: The king of physics is back!
At the same time, a group of young people are slowly growing up.
Like Irena and Joliot, they are full of enthusiasm for physics and are eager to try it.
The future world will be wonderful because of them.
