Chapter 474 The meeting begins! All the talents have arrived! Shocking speech! Welcome to the new quantum era!
October 30, 1921.
The Langham Hotel, London.
As the most luxurious hotel in Europe, it has successfully hosted the first two Blues Conferences.
But this time, the level of grandness was even greater than before.
The first two days of physics academic meetings will be held in the hotel.
On the third day, the International Science Alliance Council discussion meeting was arranged at the Royal Society of England.
The front door of the solemn, noble and luxurious Langham Hotel was already crowded with reporters and spectators from all walks of life.
Three generations of outstanding geniuses in the field of physics, old, middle and young, gathered together to discuss the most advanced research topics in physics.
Such a brilliant event has never happened before in history.
Everyone here has a legendary experience.
It is no exaggeration to say that if gangsters burst into the hotel with bombs at this moment, human history would probably stop developing.
Because physics is the first of the natural sciences!
It is the common source of all technologies in the world.
It is the first breakthrough that will lead to the rapid development of other disciplines.
The hotel's high-end conference room.
There are scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no idle people when coming and going.
At this moment, the bosses and geniuses are chatting happily.
Some of them just arrived today, while others arrived several days in advance.
Li Qiwei arranged hotel accommodation for everyone.
But many people choose to stay temporarily with friends in London.
Therefore, today is the first official gathering of everyone.
Although everyone comes from different countries, even the relations between some countries are not particularly friendly.
But these do not affect the atmosphere on the field.
Because the topic discussed today is the crystallization of all human wisdom, science.
Not that disgusting politics.
Human beings' conspiracies and conspiracies seem boring and ridiculous in front of the stars and the sea.
The entire room was immersed in a sea of knowledge.
Everyone was talking cordially.
Madame Curie held Irena's hands tightly, with genuine care and love on her face.
"Child, you have lost weight."
Irena looked at her mother and said with a smile:
"Because I'm busy doing research during this time."
"Uncle Bruce's requirements for PhD graduation are too high."
“My research results must be of Nobel Prize level before I can apply for defense.”
Madame Curie couldn't help but say "ah".
This is no longer high, but abnormal.
It's too exaggerated.
She smiled bitterly and said:
"Irena, don't you feel any pressure?"
Irena's recent success in researching the third force has boosted her confidence.
She is full of hope for the future.
"Don't worry, Mom."
"Uncle Bruce said that the field of atomic structure is still a blue ocean."
"If I don't win the Nobel Prize, it's his responsibility, not mine."
Madame Curie smiled knowingly.
In her opinion, this was Bruce comforting his daughter.
Where is the Nobel Prize easy to get?
Don't look at all the big guys here today, almost everyone has a Nobel Prize.
But this is the most well-known and authoritative conference in academia.
So it seems that the Nobel Prize is worthless.
There are countless ordinary scientific researchers outside the hotel.
For them, not to mention the Nobel Prize, even the sub-journals of the journal "Nature" are out of reach.
Irena's starting point is actually the ending point for many people.
But even so, it is extremely difficult for her to win the Nobel Prize.
But soon, Marie Curie would be amazed by the reputation of being the teacher of the Brusno Prize.
It is by no means a wasted reputation.
When Madame Curie and her daughter were talking about themselves, Pauli came up from nowhere.
With a smile on his face, he said attentively:
"Oh! Hello, beautiful lady."
"I am Pauli."
"I have admired your name for a long time, and I am truly lucky to meet you today."
Irena on the side was shocked.
She had never seen Pauli in such a posture.
Marie Curie had obviously heard of Pauli.
She smiled and responded:
"Hello, Pauli."
Pauli looked familiar, and soon made Madame Curie giggle.
"Madam, your existence has made physics lose its luster."
"My father also likes you very much."
Marie Curie liked Pauli even more.
Just when everyone was talking happily.
The door to the conference room was pushed open again.
Li Qiwei, Planck, Thomson and other big guys came in around Professor Roentgen.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and stood up, showing their greatest respect to this old physics veteran.
The X-ray invented by the other party saved countless lives in this world war.
Although X-rays themselves cannot save lives, they can help doctors quickly locate the patient's injured area.
This can greatly save surgical time and improve the success rate of surgery.
For the medical conditions of this era, it is already considered cheating.
If Hua Tuo could have taken a photo of Prime Minister Cao's head, he probably would not have been executed.
Roentgen's arrival gave the meeting a sense of history.
It's as if the history of physics is rushing towards you, unfolding slowly.
When the other party dominated the world of physics, Pauli, Heisenberg and other juniors were not yet born.
Everyone sighed.
"Only Professor Bruce can invite Professor Roentgen."
Although Li Qiwei is now the only one in the scientific world, he is too young.
Therefore, he still entertained Roentgen, Planck and others as a junior.
Wait until Li Qiwei reaches Roentgen's age.
Then his status will be a hundred times a thousand times higher than the latter.
Scientists all over the world will respect him!
Soon, under the arrangement of the host Lorenz, everyone sat in their seats one after another.
There were a total of 72 participants in this meeting.
Just in terms of the number of people, it can be considered a medium-sized meeting.
But if we compare quality, it is definitely the best in the world.
Lorenz's breathy voice resounded throughout the room.
"I have been waiting for this day for nine years."
"In the past nine years, do you know how I got here!"
Everyone laughed.
Professor Lorenz’s humorous and professional hosting style was well received.
And this is a classical physicist full of open spirit.
When modern physics buried classical physics in a revolutionary way.
Lorenz once said sadly:
"I deeply regret that I did not die before the old foundation collapsed."
But soon, he forgot about regretting the past and embraced the new things in physics.
The theory of relativity and quantum theory rejuvenated his mind.
If he hadn't had this tolerant personality, he would have retired from the stage of history early, like many unknown physicists. Lorenz continued to speak infectiously:
"Since Newton proposed universal gravitation and unified heaven and earth."
"Maxwell was born and unified electromagnetic light again."
"At that time, Professor Maxwell was my idol."
"When I was young, electromagnetic theory was at its peak."
"The mysterious electromagnetic force has become an energy that humans can control at will."
"At this point, the two fundamental forces of nature have been completely mastered by physicists."
"I once thought that this might be the ultimate in physics."
"However, the appearance of Bruce completely broke my inherent thinking."
"You may not be able to imagine that I was shocked when I saw the quantum concept and the special theory of relativity for the first time."
"It's like the scholars of ancient Greece came to our time."
"That's a whole new understanding of the nature of the world."
Read the original text in Liu#9@书/吧!
"A wonderful chapter that transcends human rational thinking."
"And now, this chapter is still being written, and the more it is written, the more exciting and wonderful it becomes."
"All physicists are lucky to be born in this era!"
Wow!
The venue immediately burst into warm applause.
Everyone was affected by Lorenz's strong emotions.
Almost all the young people present grew up listening to the theory of relativity and quantum theory.
They have more feelings for modern physics than classical physics.
However, traditional bosses like Lorenz.
The times have given them the power of precipitation and accumulation.
They feel more deeply about the collision between modern physics and classical physics.
Roentgen, Planck, Thomson and other big guys were all slightly moved, with deep emotion in their hearts.
In today's meeting, they were actually more of a backdrop.
But even so, they were very satisfied.
This is what the saying goes, "If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening."
Lorenz looked at the people in the audience with the same excitement in his heart.
Although he has retired, it does not mean that he no longer pays attention to physics.
On the contrary, he now likes to think about the future of physics from a higher perspective, a philosophical perspective.
Li Qiwei's Tai Chi thoughts greatly shocked and inspired Lorenz.
Great simplicity!
He continued:
"Our world is made up of space, time and matter."
"Based on astronomy, the theory of relativity explains space and time."
"Based on atomic science, quantum theory explains matter."
"Bending of starlight, existence of black holes, expansion of the universe"
"Although there are still many phenomena waiting to be verified, the theoretical framework of the theory of relativity has been completed."
"The rest is just a building block."
"The same is true for quantum theory."
"In my opinion, with the discovery of the exclusion principle and electron spin, quantum theory should be considered complete."
"We use quantum theory to explain everything in the periodic table of elements and everything in spectroscopy."
"This was an achievement that was unimaginable before."
"However, even quantum theory has achieved such remarkable achievements."
"Someone here is still not satisfied with it."
Everyone present smiled knowingly.
They all focused their attention on the man in the front row.
"He thinks differently than everyone else."
"He once said publicly that the current quantum theory is just like the original special theory of relativity."
“Stunning but not perfect.”
"Many physicists do not quite agree with his views."
"Everyone feels that the current quantum theory is very good."
"So, what is the result?"
"So, the theme of the third Bruce Conference is atoms and quantum."
"In today's meeting, perhaps we will not be able to discuss a definite result in the end."
"But I believe that if there are any major discoveries in physics in the future, it must be related to today's meeting."
Suddenly, Lorenz raised his voice and said excitedly:
"Next, let me welcome Professor Bruce and give a speech."
boom!
Thunderous applause suddenly erupted in the venue.
Everyone's hearts are full of expectations.
The eyes of senior leaders such as Roentgen and Planck were filled with relief.
They almost watched Bruce get to where he is today step by step.
This young man conquered everyone with his unique charm.
Einstein, Rutherford and others were in despair.
The friendship between them and Bruce has long gone beyond ordinary friendship.
On the lonely road of seeking, it is a blessing to meet a confidant.
The younger generation such as Pauli and Heisenberg had their eyes shining and their blood boiling.
Professor Bruce is their lifelong endeavor.
At this moment of gathering of talents, everyone agreed that the opening speech could only be given by Professor Bruce.
What an honor!
What a pinnacle!
Li Qiwei stood up slowly amid the warm applause.
Suddenly, an indescribable huge aura exploded instantly!
At this moment, he seemed to be the center of the universe, and everything in the world revolved around him.
He is electricity, he is light, he is the only myth!
Li Qiwei stood on the stage, his eyes slowly scanning everyone below.
My heart is full of pride!
Even the fifth Solvay Conference in real history cannot compare with today's conference.
Because the attendees span three generations of physics.
He wondered how future scientific history would evaluate the meeting.
But just in terms of the achievements of the participants, it is absolutely unprecedented.
And all of this was built by his own hands.
A few years later, the other name for modern physics was Bruce physics.
Li Qiwei's eyes were as bright as a torch and his voice was as loud as a bell, which shocked people's hearts.
"Although the concept of quantum theory appeared earlier than the theory of relativity."
"But its development speed is not as fast as the theory of relativity."
"In 1912, after I published the general theory of relativity, I thought for a while that the quantum theory would go just as well."
"However, things exceeded my expectations."
“After I got in-depth contact with and studied quantum theory, I discovered that our world is far more complicated than imagined.”
"I now feel more and more that quantum theory may be closer to the origin of the world than relativity theory."
"Professor Lorenz summed it up very well."
"Relativity explains space and time, quantum theory explains matter."
“But our understanding of matter has always been at the macro level.”
"The development of atomic science has already reached the level of atomic nuclei."
"The secrets there can only be explored through quantum theory."
"With the discovery of electron spin, proton-neutron theory."
"The magic of the microscopic world is challenging the limits of our cognition."
"At the same time, we are also challenging the limits of quantum theory."
Suddenly, Li Qiwei became excited and raised his right hand.
"And now, I have made a new discovery."
"This discovery is enough to show that the existing quantum theory is far from enough."
"Everyone, let us welcome the arrival of the new quantum era together!"
boom!
Everyone was shocked!
