Chapter 489 The speech is over! The much-anticipated astronomy conference! The era of the big universe! Modern cosmology!
All the electrons contained in a drop of water can actually increase the earth's electrical potential by millions of volts.
This very counterintuitive phenomenon deeply shocked everyone present.
Although mankind's existing technology is simply impossible to accomplish this incredible operation: to instantly remove all the electrons from a drop of water.
But this sheer storm of thinking dazzled all scientific people.
This is the charm of physics!
Li Qiwei's opening question achieved a sensational effect and strongly attracted everyone.
However, just when everyone thought that this answer was too clever and consumed all Professor Bruce's inspiration.
The other party actually has another answer, which is incredible.
"Oh my God! How is Professor Bruce's brain different from ours?"
"I couldn't even think of one. He actually had two plans."
"And the second one is related to the astronomical conference."
"What should I do? I really want to know the method!"
Now even Pauli, Fermi and others didn't know.
The various answers just given cover classic kinetic energy, electromagnetic energy, and mass-to-energy conversion.
They really couldn't think of any other way.
And from Professor Bruce’s tone, it’s related to astronomy knowledge.
Really strange.
Because astronomy studies huge substances like celestial bodies.
A drop of water seems irrelevant.
Pauli muttered to himself:
"Can a drop of water turn into a celestial body?"
Immediately, he shook his head and laughed at himself:
"Pauli, Pauli, don't make me scold you."
Pauli became so cruel that he didn't even let himself go.
He thought the idea of a drop of water turning into a celestial body was a little too silly.
And even if it can, why can it destroy the earth?
If the moon and the earth collided, it would probably completely destroy the latter.
Femi also thought about it carefully, but still had no clue.
He will graduate with his PhD this year and officially enter the door of physics research.
Now, he is not familiar with many cutting-edge theories and systems.
However, these made him more motivated.
"Next, I must catch up with Professor Bruce."
Fermi was arrogant and only regarded Professor Bruce as his opponent.
At this moment, everyone was extremely curious.
No one on the court could guess Professor Bruce's second answer.
This stimulated everyone's interest and enthusiasm even more.
After all, the answer to electromagnetic energy completely exceeded their expectations.
Come to think of it, this answer must be wild and unconstrained.
Produced by Professor Bruce, it must be a high-quality product!
The astronomy conference has already attracted everyone's attention before it even started.
Although they are not qualified to participate, they can know the latest theoretical results of the conference.
Physics and astronomy are one family.
Croce smiled and said with emotion:
"Professor Bruce's advertising skills are simply amazing."
"After today's speech, the first general meeting of the International Astronomical Union will probably become more heated again."
"We in Italy will definitely be able to make a great turnaround in the field of science this time."
Vecchio nodded and smiled:
"I hope this speech can give birth to several good scientific ideas."
"Professor Bruce has planted a seed in their hearts."
"Whether they can grow into towering trees depends on their own efforts and luck."
Croce seemed to have thought of something and sighed:
"Yeah."
"A great scientist's life will never be smooth sailing."
"At least young people in this era are lucky."
"In front of them, there is a monument, which makes everyone full of motivation."
There was another sentence that Vecchio did not follow.
"If the monument is too far away, it will be the misfortune of young people."
"In my entire life, I can only look up at my back."
At this moment, Li Qiwei had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions.
Of course he won't announce the second answer now.
As long as his theory is shared by then, geniuses such as Pauli and Fermi will easily be able to come up with the answer.
Everything will be revealed in a few days!
Next, Li Qiwei officially entered the topic of his speech: quantum theory.
After the wonderful foreplay just now, everyone present has a deeper understanding of electronics.
Quantum theory is the best theoretical weapon for studying electrons.
The discovery of electrons has only occurred more than 20 years ago.
Physicists still don't know enough about it.
As the earliest elementary particle discovered by mankind, electrons have many special characteristics.
In later generations, there was a conjecture that broke through the sky: the single electron theory.
This means that there is actually only one electron in the entire universe.
This electron travels back and forth in space and time, participating in all events and material composition in the universe.
Of course, there are many problems that cannot be explained by this theory.
However, as an idea, it's really shocking.
This also reflects the ghostly nature of electrons.
Its mass needs to meet the variability of relativity, but its charge does not.
In other words, no matter how fast an electron is, its charge is always the same and does not change.
From the perspective of lifespan, even protons have a half-life, although this half-life reaches an astonishing 1000 trillion trillion years.
But the life of an electron is infinite and it can exist forever.
Therefore, in the later stage, when you know too much about physics, you can easily enter the philosophical or metaphysical thinking mode.
The magic of the universe is beyond imagination!
After an hour and a half, Li Qiwei's speech finally came to an end.
Everyone stood up and thunderous applause echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone sincerely admired Professor Bruce who came from afar.
The other party's extreme individualistic style made Italian students very interested in science.
This is of immeasurable importance to the scientific and educational development of a country.
Croce and Vecchio applauded vigorously.
Li Qiwei's informative speech moved the two of them very much.
"Professor Bruce has no secrets and treats Italy and other countries equally."
After the speech, Vecchio presented an honorary doctorate certificate to Li Qiwei on behalf of the University of Rome.
At the same time, the Italian Academy of Sciences also awarded Li Qiwei the title of foreign academician.
Needless to say, the big guys chatted and laughed happily.
February 10, 1922.
The King and Prime Minister of Italy held a symposium on science education.
Li Qiwei was invited to participate.
This symposium brought together most of Italy's own scientists, including Vecchio.
At the meeting, Li Qiwei gave a brief speech on the development purposes of the International Union of Scientists Council.
Emanuele III was far more interested in Li Qiwei than the Union of Scientists.
As a king, his inherent aloofness made him indifferent to the so-called scientific alliance.
In particular, he led Italy to win the war and enjoyed the ultimate pleasure of using all living beings as pawns.
In his eyes, scientists are not worth mentioning. But a rare figure like Li Qiwei still aroused his curiosity.
"Professor Bruce, I have heard many people say that a certain theory you invented can create very terrible weapons."
"You bunch of scientists got together, do you want to create this kind of weapon?"
No one expected the king to be so direct and ask such a question.
Li Qiwei smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty the King, what is scary is not the weapon itself, but the human heart."
"I believe that everyone who is willing to join and support the International Union of Scientists is philanthropic and opposed to war."
Wow!
These words are very thought-provoking.
The big guys all broke out in a cold sweat.
"Professor Bruce is indeed as scary as the rumors say."
"He refused to give in even to the king."
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"Neither admit nor deny, as if we can really build that kind of weapon."
Emanuele III just smiled deeply.
At this time, Prime Minister Fakta stood up and changed the subject:
"Professor Bruce, I think the alliance must first protect the interests of all countries."
"The interests of any country must not be violated."
Li Qiwei replied: "Of course."
As a result, the two sides exchanged views on various issues and formulated more detailed guidelines.
These are all complementary to the alliance.
In fact, everyone present knew it very well.
If this international alliance of scientists wants to truly gain a foothold and bring together the scientific strengths of all countries in the world, it needs to be recognized by the four major countries.
If they don't nod, it won't matter if all other countries agree.
If they agree, it is useless for the younger brothers to object.
Of course, in today's era, the world is developing rapidly.
Today's small and weak countries may not be able to become big and powerful countries in the future.
The sun never sets, and it was just an uncivilized barbarian country at the beginning.
They picked up the incredible treasure chest of science.
The International Union of Scientists may be an opportunity to overtake in a corner.
Because science can be copied and learned, this is the greatest luck for backward countries.
The world is uncertain, you and I are both dark horses! ——
Just as Ridgway was promoting his League of Scientists.
The world of astronomy is in turmoil.
Astronomers from all over the world began to rush to Rome, Italy.
The just-concluded speech revealed a major message to the entire astronomical community.
"Professor Bruce has the latest results!"
This made many people excited!
The first Supreme Congress of Astronomy has already aroused endless expectations before it even begins.
All eyes are on you!
The Atlantic Ocean is boundless and rough.
A luxury cruise ship cut through the waves, heading eastward like a giant beast.
On the deck, many big guys from the American astronomy community were chatting and laughing.
Among the crowd, Hubble looked determined. Looking at the vast sea in front of him, his mood was extremely agitated.
At this astronomy conference, he will shock the world!
Beside him, Haer looked at Hubble with relief.
I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart:
"Professor Bruce is truly a god."
"The people he has trained are just like cheating."
At this plenary meeting, Haile already knew that Professor Bruce would resign as president of the federation.
So the General Assembly will re-elect new candidates.
And he has absolute confidence.
Because Hubble's research has made a huge breakthrough.
This is another sensational event at Mount Wilson Observatory following the great debate of the century.
As the director of the observatory, no matter how great Hubble's achievements are, Hale certainly has his guiding role.
For example, he taught Hubble how to use that huge telescope.
At this moment, Haer asked with a smile:
"Hubble, this astronomy conference will be your personal stage!"
"Your results will surely shock the academic world and the world!"
"Our Mount Wilson Observatory will become the number one observatory in the world!"
The free compliment made Hubble feel a little embarrassed.
Facing an astronomy master like Haer, he still maintains respect and will not look down on the other person because of his own achievements.
"Professor Haer, I would also like to thank you for your support."
"Without the telescope that you devoted all your efforts to build, I would not be where I am today."
After hearing this, Haier's face became even happier.
Hubble spoke to his heart.
Mount Wilson Observatory cost him too much effort.
Now that these achievements have been achieved, Haer feels the most deeply.
These are Hubble’s true words.
If he had done research elsewhere, he might not have been able to achieve the results he achieved now.
The discoveries he is about to share will open up two entirely new branches of astronomy.
One is galactic astronomy and the other is modern cosmology.
The former established the concept of large-scale universe and allowed astronomers to truly enter the era of large-scale universe research.
From then on, cosmological research was no longer limited to individual galaxies.
Rather, it is a huge structure composed of countless galaxies.
Local Group, Virgo Supercluster, Laniakea Supercluster, Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex, Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall.
Human beings can finally unravel the mysteries of the universe bit by bit.
As for the second branch, modern cosmology, it is even more crucial.
He is a powerful verification of general relativity.
From there, astronomers took the entire universe as the subject and studied its structure, movement and evolution.
Matter-antimatter universe model, big bang theory, inflation theory.
Humanity has begun to delve deeper into the ultimate proposition of the origin of the universe.
And these will all start with Hubble’s results.
At this moment, Hubble thought about eleven years ago.
At that time Professor Bruce was also Head of Physics at King's College.
And the other party has not yet published the general theory of relativity.
At the time, everyone thought Hubble was following the wrong person.
Although Professor Bruce is a master of physics, there is absolutely no way he understands astronomy.
But Hubble has no regrets.
He was attracted by Professor Bruce's charisma.
In the past ten years, as the other party's status has become higher and higher, Hubble has also attracted the attention of countless people.
However, his research direction is doomed, and he will not have any major breakthroughs in a short period of time.
Like his most beloved Professor Bruce, he will spend ten years settling down.
Ten years of sharpening a sword!
And now, Hubble has finally succeeded.
High-spirited!
So passionate!
He faced the sea and said arrogantly in his heart:
"Professor Bruce, you spent ten years creating the great general theory of relativity."
"Bo Dudu, it took me ten years to finally prove that your theory is correct."
"This time, I can catch up with you."
