Chapter 429 Study Visit to Germany! Seafoam combo! Shocking speech! Help the chemist take off his alchemist hat!
The publication of unified field theory has given the physics community a hot topic.
But with the exception of Einstein, few real big names have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the research of unified theory.
At most, they try some theories and methods in their free time.
Because the big guys know very well that the road to reunification is definitely not as simple as imagined.
Even Professor Bruce himself admitted that he did not know whether he would be able to complete a unified theory in this lifetime.
This shows how difficult it is.
Do they still dare to be as confident as Professor Bruce?
So, even a unified theory is an irresistible temptation for any physicist.
But the big guys chose to believe Professor Bruce and recognize themselves.
I will not bet the rest of my life on unified theory.
There are only a few people as determined as Einstein.
His will is like iron, his wisdom is like steel, and he has such a great spirit that even if thousands of people come to him, he will succeed.
In addition, except for the big guys, most people who are willing to specialize in unified theory may be trying their luck.
After all, if it really succeeds, it will immediately become famous all over the world.
Surpassing Professor Bruce is also just around the corner.
It is even more exaggerated than reaching the sky in one step.
However, when they began to get involved in unified theory, they discovered that this road could not see the future at all.
At this time, everyone was shocked by Einstein's wisdom.
Many people began to follow his train of thought and find new ways in an attempt to create another theory.
And all this was seen by Li Qiwei.
After witnessing this era with his own eyes, he understood what the so-called shackles of heaven and earth meant.
On the train from the Netherlands to Germany, he lamented:
“No matter how talented a physicist is, he must be limited by the times.”
1920 February 20, Germany.
At the invitation of Einstein, Li Qiwei came to Germany to study.
There are too many people he hopes to see here.
Those people also hope that Li Qiwei can come to Germany.
Because after the European War, Germany was severely punished by sanctions.
Even the German scientific community has been affected to a certain extent.
They urgently need an authoritative person to resolve this haze.
And Li Qiwei is the best candidate.
The gate of Berlin University is already crowded with people.
Everyone looked forward with expectant eyes.
They are waiting.
Waiting for the arrival of the legend.
The old man leading the group, although he has a bald head, is energetic and majestic.
He is the president of the University of Berlin, an authority in the German physics community, and a leading figure in the scientific community, Professor Planck.
At the same time, he also has an identity that everyone knows.
That is the teacher of Professor Bruce, the first person in the world.
Students and teachers have long been accustomed to Professor Planck's dragon appearing first but never ending.
Even professors at the University of Berlin cannot see each other more than a few times a year.
Today, however, Professor Planck showed up dressed up.
There is only one reason, and that is that Professor Bruce is here.
Only that man could make Professor Planck, the German treasure, mobilize so much.
Behind Planck stood a large number of well-known German physicists.
Wien, Nernst, Sommerfeld, Einstein, Laue, Born.
Behind them are the younger generations of German physics.
Big bosses came from all over Germany with their students, just to see Professor Bruce.
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, the crowd was shocked.
"Here we come!"
"Look!"
"Professor Bruce is here!"
Li Qiwei, dressed in a handsome suit and handsome, slowly appeared.
His arrival instantly brought the atmosphere to its climax.
The students chanted his name, as if they were trying to use up all their strength.
Behind Sommerfeld, two young men sighed:
"Ouch! Great physicists should be like this!"
When Li Qiwei saw this scene, he was already immune.
He did not bask in the glory, but walked quickly to Gangplank.
She held his hand excitedly and said sincerely:
"Teacher, why are you here."
"Am I going to visit you?"
This year The 62-year-old Planck still spoke clearly and was full of energy. He smiled and said:
“I have old bones, so I have to move around more.”
"Einstein told me that he kept inviting you, but you never came. I thought you had forgotten us?"
"That's why Einstein asked me to write to you."
< br>"He said that as long as I take action, Bruce will definitely come over."
Everyone around him laughed.
Li Qiwei was a little embarrassed and explained with a smile:
"I have been busy with the Quantum Institute before, so I couldn't spare the time."
"But I can't come now."
"Einstein has begun to study the unified theory. , and he also despised the quantum theory of you and me.”
“I’m here to punish you today.”
“Does he take your old man seriously? It’s not that I don’t want to live in Germany.”
The big guys around laughed after hearing this.
That made Einstein a little embarrassed.
With the publication of the unified field theory, he stole the show.
He has suddenly become the most popular figure in the field of physics.
Never mind whether it succeeds in the end, at least the concept of unity is earth-shattering.
When Planck heard this, he was also happy for the first time in a long time.
"Haha, Bruce, I still have to leave this matter to you."
"I can't keep up with you now."
Then, Li Qiwei shook hands with all the big guys and greeted them one by one.
Since the war in Europe ended, they had not seen each other for five or six years.
Only Einstein had the opportunity to go to Borneo and meet Li Qiwei because of the Physics Olympiad.
Now, everything is back on track.
Even the development of physics is even more brilliant than before.
Planck said to everyone:
"Don't just talk, everyone go in quickly."
"The students are still waiting for Bruce's speech."
After that, he pulled Li Qiwei and walked towards the prepared conference room.
Li Qiwei was going to be there, giving a lecture on quantum theory and atomic structure.
This is also one of the arrangements for his trip.
After the lecture, he will discuss scientific exchanges between China and Germany with Planck.
Then, discuss unified theory and other content with Einstein and other big guys.
Finally, we will visit the development achievements in the field of education and science in Germany.
Everyone was joking all the way and soon arrived at their destination.
In the lecture hall of the University of Berlin.
Before Li Qiwei waited for Einstein to introduce him, an overwhelming cheer erupted in the venue.
His name has long become a code name and is a household name all over the world.
Among the crowd, a thin young man sat with a stocky and handsome young man.
The little man has acne on his face and looks a little shy.
But because of the people next to him, he said excitedly:
"Brother Pauli, there are so many people here today."
"I finally met my idol." "Professor Bruce's aura is so strong."
"Just looking at him from a distance, I didn't even dare to breathe . ”
The stocky and handsome young man was the famous Pauli in later generations.
Pauli, who is just 20 years old this year, is an undergraduate student at the University of Munich.
At the same time, because he was so smart, he was exceptionally admitted as a doctoral student by Sommerfeld.
This is somewhat similar to the direct Ph.D. students in China in later generations, but it is not the same.
So Pauli can participate in the second Physics Olympiad held today in July.
Sommerfeld had high hopes for Pauli.
Because the other party is not only the youngest master's student in the history of the University of Munich.
He is also the most talented student he has ever seen.
When Pauli was enrolled in school, Sommerfeld was writing the physics part of the fifth volume of the "Deutsche Encyclopedia".
When he assigned tasks to his graduate students, no one wanted to write the theory of relativity.
Because it is so obscure and difficult to understand, everyone is afraid of making people laugh if they write it.
At this time, Pauli volunteered and said he was willing to help.
After hearing this, Sommerfeld felt a little incredible.
"How old are you? Can you understand the theory of relativity?"
But he couldn't hurt Pauli's self-confidence, so he asked him to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, Pauli wrote more than 300 pages of discussion in one breath.
After seeing it, Sommerfeld couldn't believe his eyes and was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Because of the content, he couldn't even find any modifications. It was so perfect.
Later, Sommerfeld specially sent the content to Einstein.
After reading it, Einstein couldn’t help but admire:
“Pauli’s explanation of the theory of relativity is very profound.”
“There is nothing that needs to be modified. .”
At that time, Pauli was only 19 years old.
He is already an expert in the theory of relativity in the eyes of everyone.
This talent and talent made Sommerfeld exclaim: "I have found a treasure."
Immediately agreed to accept him as his doctoral student.
But after accepting it, Sommerfeld had a headache.
Because Pauli's character is really unpleasant.
He is wild, unrestrained and confident, and likes to go to bars.
These are all good, but there is one thing that has been criticized by everyone.
My classmates all said that he had a sharp and mean mouth and was merciless in attacking people.
No matter who he is in front of, he will point out the other person's mistakes face to face.
Moreover, I especially like to say: "Your ideas are not even wrong."
This is the famous saying: Notevenwrong!
This sentence is very cruel to anyone engaged in scientific research.
Because it means you are a layman at all.
For example, two scientists are discussing the issue of rocket fuel.
At this time, someone suggested: "I think burning diesel is good and powerful!"
This is an idea that is not even a mistake.
Probably like a monkey wanting to participate in a human conversation.
This shows how cruel Pauli's mouth is.
The people he criticized were all professionals, including many physicists.
Therefore, everyone gave him a nickname: The Whip of God.
In real history, Bohr was much more reserved.
When faced with what he thinks is a mistake, he likes to say: Your idea is quite interesting.
Although Pauli had a bad mouth, he was always respectful in front of his teacher Sommerfeld.
At this time, facing the excitement of his junior brother, Pauli said calmly:
"Heisenberg, put away your cowardice."
"Has this person scared you?"
"Although Professor Bruce is the best in the world, he will also make mistakes. "
"He can succeed countless times, but if he fails once, he will suffer the same fate."
"Sooner or later, I will stand on the Iron Throne of the Bruce Conference. He debated openly."
Faced with Pauli's domineering words, Heisenberg felt both amused and admired.
He entered school one year later than Pauli, and the two were classmates.
And they all contacted Professor Sommerfeld through his father’s relationship.
So I quickly became familiar with it.
Both of them like theoretical physics and don't like to do experiments. They often discuss problems in the dormitory until midnight.
Every time Heisenberg picked up his pen and calculated, Pauli knew he was going to lose.
Because the other party’s math skills are so strong.
Even more powerful than the professors in the mathematics department.
So Pauli liked Heisenberg very much because he felt that except for the two of them, all the students at Munich University were stupid.
Heisenberg's character was completely opposite to Pauli's, quiet, reserved, and unconfident.
At school, he was often bullied by his classmates because of his weak character.
Pauli was always the first to stand up.
Fight if you can, and run if you can't.
As time went by, the two developed a deep friendship.
Pauli went to the bar, and Heisenberg went for a walk in the fields.
But this does not affect the close relationship between the two.
As a result, the sea foam combination has become a beautiful scenery of the University of Munich.
Two geniuses, with very different personalities, yet sympathetic to each other, have become a good story.
The two of them are also recognized by the school as the favorite candidates for the gold medal in the second Physics Olympiad.
This time, Li Qiwei came to give a speech at the University of Berlin, and the two of them begged Professor Sommerfeld to take them with him.
For young people interested in science like Heisenberg and Pauli, they almost grew up listening to Ridgway's stories.
That man's strength, wisdom, and dominance have fascinated them for a long time.
Quantum theory and relativity deeply convinced everyone.
When we met today, although Pauli said he was very capable, he had to admit in his heart:
“Professor Bruce lives up to his name!”
And Heisenberg began to look forward to the future.
“I really hope to have the opportunity to work in the Quantum Research Institute in the future.”
At this moment, Li Qiwei did not know that there were two future quantum giants in the audience.
And, one of them also wants to challenge himself.
He looked at everyone and said loudly:
"Thank you very much Professor Einstein for your kind invitation."
"The topic of my speech today is about quantum theory and atomic structure."
"There is no way, if I don't preach about quantum Theory, if one day Professor Einstein’s unified field theory is successful.”
“You in the audience will probably sweep quantum theory into the trash.”
These words. As soon as it came out, the audience immediately burst into laughter.
Everyone was amused by Li Qiwei's humor.
The emergence of unified field theory is full of temptations, especially for young people.
“At the Second Quantum Theory Conference in 1911, I finally summarized three problems.”
“These problems cannot be explained by the quantum theory at that time.”
“First, the problem of the arrangement of electrons outside the nucleus.”
"Second, how to think about different elements having different chemical properties."
"Third, what is the relationship between quantum theory and radioactivity."
"I mainly want to discuss the first two issues. ”
“Because I can say with confidence:”
“From today on, chemists can get rid of the hat of alchemist”
Wow!
The whole audience was shocked!
