Chapter 14 Thesis Completed
While Cecil and Bellam were discussing the conspiracy, Ridgway finally waited for Professor Planck's thesis.
Trinity College, in Lane Library, Ridgway and Planck sat opposite each other.
There was a revised thesis on the table, and both of them couldn't help smiling.
Planck first said: "Bruce, you can see what I changed."
"I simplified your equation to form the final energy expression: E=hv"
"I think you need to name this equation, after all, it is the result of You."
Li Qiwei picked up the paper and looked extremely excited, his hands even trembling a little.
From now on, he will become the first person in quantum mechanics and open up a new theory of great existence!
This was simply unimaginable in his previous life.
And now, everything was ready, all he had to do was give a name.
So, Li Qiwei said slowly: "Let's call it [Lee-Planck radiation formula]."
Hearing this, Planck looked at Li Qiwei in surprise, and then his heart was filled with tears. A trace of warmth passed.
It can be said that the core of the entire paper is this formula.
It shows that the energy radiated or absorbed by a substance is not continuous, but part by part, and can only be an integer multiple of the minimum value.
And this smallest value is E.
Such an important formula was basically completed by Li Qiwei independently.
And I just made some mathematical deformations and simplifications.
Now, how can he have such an honor and share this honor.
So Planck said softly: "Thank you, Bruce."
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Professor, without you, maybe the formula would not be so simple."
"Simplicity is the essential beauty of physics. I also want to be able to rival Newton one day."
< br>After hearing this, Planck smiled knowingly. Of course he knew that Li Qiwei was talking about F=ma.
Looking at the weird look of this genius in front of him, Planck sighed in his heart.
I saw him pointing to the bookshelf in the distance and asked with a smile: "Bruce, do you know about Lane Library?"
Li Qiwei was stunned, not expecting the other party to ask this question, so he smiled and said: "I have only been in Cambridge for a short time, so I don't understand."
"Professor, are you willing to tell me?"
Planck withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Qiwei, and said: "The Lane Library contains nearly 500 years of history of Trinity College."
"There are ancient Egyptian mummies here, and Newton's own collection. The first edition of "Principles of Nature", manuscripts of Milton's poems, Byron's full-length jade statue, etc."
"It can be said that this is a treasure house of classical history."
At this time, Planck's tone became more and more excited, and Li Qiwei probably guessed what he was going to say.
Sure enough, Planck continued: "Today, still in this library, Bruce, you and I are likely to change the history of physics."
"A hundred years later, we The two societies will be commemorated.”
“What a great and wonderful thing this is.”
After hearing Planck’s words, Li Qiwei suddenly felt overwhelmed with pride.
This is the first time he has felt like this since he traveled through time.
Just before he was about to change history, he realized that he was still too young.
I couldn't control my excitement and a little bit of inexplicable fear about changing the future.
However, he then became determined again.
He knows the path of physics in the next hundred years, and he is confident that he can create new brilliance.
So, he said seriously: "Professor Planck, I am ready."
"Let us start a new future of physics together."
Planck He smiled calmly and said: "Thanks to you, Bruce, I also want to leave my name in history."
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Planck then said: "Bruce, I will return to the University of Berlin this afternoon." "After you have finished your exams and have a holiday, I sincerely invite you to visit the University of Berlin."
"By the way, give some pressure to my arrogant graduate students."
"Those little guys are arguing all day long, but their academic level has not improved."< br>
After hearing Planck’s joke, Li Qiwei smiled and said: “Professor, don’t worry, I will definitely go.”
“Germany is also a powerful country in physics, and I also want to visit some old-timers.”
Planck smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will personally introduce some people to you when the time comes."
After that, Planck stood up, shook hands with Li Qiwei heavily, and prepared to leave.
Next, Li Qiwei found a quiet place, transcribed the paper again, and put it in an envelope.
This time, he is not going to ask his younger brother Chris to send the paper.
For such an important thing, he can only feel at ease if he does it himself.
Li Qiwei went to the mailing office of Cambridge University, carefully filled in the address of "Nature" magazine, and submitted the paper.
When I was about to leave, I was suddenly stopped by the administrator and said that there was a letter from him, sent from Switzerland.
This should be Einstein’s reply.
For convenience, the address Li Qiwei left to the other party was Cambridge University.
He quickly took the envelope, walked to a deserted place in the school, and began to read the letter seriously.
In this letter, Einstein unreservedly praised Li Qiwei's genius idea.
It is even more blunt that quantum theory is a feat no less than Newtonian mechanics.
In words, Li Qiwei was almost regarded as a life mentor.
I wish I could fly over on the spot and discuss physics with myself for three days and three nights.
In addition, Einstein said that he was also inspired by quantum theory and finally found his own research direction.
I hope we can exchange letters frequently in the future.
After reading the letter, Li Qiwei smiled.
Being praised by the God of Physics of later generations is simply more satisfying than winning the Nobel Prize in Physics.
At the same time, he also knew that next, it would be time for Einstein to show off his power.
I just don’t know if the time will be advanced.
As we all know, 1905 is known as "Einstein's Miracle Year."
Because it was in this year that Einstein published five papers in a row and achieved two huge results.
Photoelectric effect and special relativity.
The photoelectric effect is inspired by the concept of quantum. Einstein believed that light is also quantum, that is, [photon].
This explains the phenomenon of electric current being generated when light shines on a metal plate.
This phenomenon was first discovered by the physicist Hertz.
But the correct explanation was made by Einstein.
As a result, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his photoelectric effect.
As for the special theory of relativity published in the same year, it is an independent theory and is too advanced.
It is said that when it was published, only a few people in the world could understand the paper.
Therefore, people from the Swedish Nobel Committee did not dare to award this achievement for fear of making mistakes.
Li Qiwei couldn't help laughing when he thought of these interesting things.
Relativity and quantum mechanics, one explains macroscopic phenomena and the other explains microscopic phenomena.
The two are incompatible with each other.
Historically, Einstein failed to unify the two in the end, leaving behind regrets.
I just don’t know that in this life, I have butterfly wings like myself.
Li Qiwei is very much looking forward to how history will change!
Dear readers, please read more and recommend, thank you~
