Chapter 277 The Second Quantum Theory Conference! Quantum top!
Bohr's quantized atomic model was a great success because of its theoretical explanation of atomic spectra.
Not only did he become famous and become a top physicist, he also pushed quantum theory to the top.
At this point, quantum theory is no longer a concept or hypothesis, but a systematic physical theory that has been experimentally verified.
It can explain the internal structure of atoms, the nature of X-rays, and flame color reactions.
These undoubted physical phenomena prove the correctness of quantum theory without a doubt.
Coupled with the problem of black body radiation, photoelectric effect, and quantum solid specific heat.
It can be said that the probability of errors in quantum theory is so low that it can be ignored.
And according to Bruce's prediction, quantum theory will be one of the two cores of modern physics, the other being the theory of relativity.
Planck, Bruce, and Bohr are also known as the "Three Giants of Quantum Theory" by the physics community.
Quantum theory will also become the sharpest weapon in atomic research.
This pair of master and apprentice are simply living legends in the world of physics.
The Bohr model not only brought glory to Bohr himself, but its impact on the world of physics was extremely profound.
Because the Bohr model confirmed one thing: Bruce's prediction of the direction of modern physics is most likely correct.
This is simply more shocking than quantum theory itself.
To what extent do you have to be extremely talented and stunning to be able to be a mortal and have a far-sighted view of the mysterious veil of the truth of the universe.
When there is a fog ahead, you can rely on intuition to see where the road is.
It can be said that Bohr's success pushed Bruce to the altar.
Geniuses such as Bohr failed to step out of Bruce's framework. They just took the crucial first step in the established direction.
Thinking about this makes people shudder.
"Oh my God, Bohr's theory made me feel terrified of Bruce."
"Even a super genius like Bohr failed to break through his predictions."
"Yeah, it feels like all the efforts of physicists are just to prove Bruce's conjecture."
"Bruce is already a banner of physics."
"."
What Ridgway did not expect was that Bohr's publication of the paper would actually make him more famous.
At this moment, he was discussing with Bohr about the second quantum theory conference.
Li Qiwei looked at Bohr and said with a smile:
"Bohr, I will be the host of this meeting and give you a platform."
"You kid is awesome. Don’t embarrass me.”
"The people coming here must be big guys from the physics community. You should be careful with their questions."
"Your Bohr model is not particularly perfect yet, and we need to continue to study it in depth."
Bohr nodded fiercely, looking excited and breathing rapidly. He did not expect that he would receive such an honor.
Professor Bruce personally hosted and invited all the top physicists in the world to gather together to discuss quantum theory.
Tab Bohr will serve as a representative and give a speech at the conference, becoming the center of attention.
Even though Bohr was a second-generation rich man who had been well-informed since he was a child and had participated in many so-called big scenes, he couldn't help but become nervous at this moment.
Because no one who comes here is from the upper class.
Many of the great European scientists of this era were either extremely wealthy or aristocrats, and were all prominent figures.
Compared with them, Bohr's family background is not worth mentioning.
He is no longer the cynical Mr. Bo, but the low-key and reserved Xiao Bo.
"Professor, don't worry, I will not embarrass you."
"I have studied many cases recently, and my model can solve them perfectly."
"I am confident that I can handle it. Any questions.”
“And I’m so grateful to you for giving me this opportunity.”
Bohr means it.
Don't look at it because his quantized atomic model soared into the sky and became famous, becoming a well-known figure in the world of physics.
But if he wants to organize the second quantum theory conference by himself, there will not be many physicists who will buy it.
Because everyone is not familiar with him and doesn’t know what he is like, so they all choose to be conservative.
At the same time, meetings also place great emphasis on connections and qualifications.
You, a young man, held a meeting, and I, a dignified boss, went to it, so that meant you were degrading yourself.
However, Li Qiwei is special. Although he is young, he has deep qualifications and is a freak.
And Li Qiwei is 31 years old this year. With his strength, it is obvious that he can give people a sense of calmness.
So, his appeal cannot be matched by others.
Li Qiwei said with a smile: "This meeting is to discuss the future of quantum theory."
"A physical theory must be able to solve practical problems."
"But physical phenomena are complicated. If you study deeply behind many simple things, there is actually a lot to learn."
"So you must not be arrogant and complacent, but have a humble attitude."
< br>“When the news of the second quantum theory conference comes out, there will be many physicists doing experiments overnight in an attempt to find out the problems with quantum theory.”
“It is difficult to create a brand new theory. But it’s much easier to find a counterexample.”
“I also want to see what questions physicists around the world can raise about quantum theory.”
Bohr was shocked by Li Qiwei's courage.
This is the style of the first person in physics today.
Bohr was obsessed with the domineering attitude of swallowing up the world and treating countless talented people as if they were nothing.
He received an elite education since childhood and could not cultivate such a temperament.
And his character is that of a polite gentleman.
So it is easy to be attracted by the rough atmosphere like Li Qiwei.
"Professor, when will the meeting be set?"
Li Qiwei pondered for a while and said, "Let's put it on September 1st."
"Give everyone a time to prepare."
"I think many people will be full of energy and prepare all kinds of difficult questions, hahaha."
"Bohr, you will understand when you stand in my position."
"It's cold at high places."
Bohr felt awe in his heart. At this moment, he already knew how difficult it was to be a mentor. .
Especially when the other party is from the Qing Dynasty, it is even more difficult.
Unlike himself, he has been deeply influenced by science since he was a child. His father is also a university professor.
The mentor relied solely on his own wisdom and hard work to reach his current position step by step.
Sweat soaks in glory, and hardships lead to the pinnacle.
Bohr was greatly admired.
Li Qiwei:
Bohr just wanted to comfort Li Qiwei with words and told him not to think too much.
Suddenly, Li Qiwei shouted: "But in this life, I, Bruce, want to stand at the highest point and overlook the world."
"I want to see if this coldness can touch me."
“I have decided on the theme of the second quantum theory conference.”
“Let’s call it: Quantum Summit!”
Boom!
Such domineering words made Bohr climax instantly.
This is the real man!
At this moment, Bohr had nothing but endless admiration for Li Qiwei.
Quantum Peak!
Bohr felt tremendous pressure at this moment, but at the same time he was full of pride.
This conference is the pinnacle of quantum theory, and it is not the pinnacle of Bohr.
Who says it’s always cold at high places.
I want to be taller!
“The heroes of the world are like the crucian carp crossing the river.”
“Why should I be afraid of Bohr!”
——
On May 1, 1911, Li Qiwei issued a public document inviting physicists and physicists from all over the world to gather in London to participate in the Second Quantum Theory Conference.
The meeting was scheduled for September 1, 1911, and lasted for three days.
This conference adopts a registration system.
Anyone who is willing to participate can enter the venue for free.
Bohr will give a speech at the conference, and Bruce will be the moderator. Everyone can ask relevant questions.
Conference theme: Quantum Summit!
Boom!
The world of physics exploded instantly!
The news of the second quantum theory conference was like a bombshell, shocking everyone.
Especially the final theme: Quantum Summit.
It has made countless people in the field of physics completely crazy.
What a crazy declaration.
The spirit of a person who says this is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
This is the domineering power of the world’s number one physicist!
"Awesome!"
"Bruce loves Bohr so much that he actually serves as the host himself, probably just to save the situation as soon as possible." "God, I really envy Bohr, he is only 26 At the age of 10, he was able to give a speech in front of the big guys in physics."
"This is what Bohr deserves. He has brought quantum theory to a new level, just like the theme of the conference. , is the pinnacle of quantum theory.”
At this moment, the eyes of the world fell on Bohr and Li Qiwei.
Everyone is looking forward to the second quantum theory conference.
That will be a gluttonous feast of physics.
And it was also the first congress of modern physics.
Although it is only about quantum theory, it is enough to make countless people flock to it.
Switzerland, Einstein felt very excited after reading Li Qiwei’s article.
"Bruce listened to my advice."
He likes to talk to strong people the most, and he also likes to participate in such high-level physics meetings.
Only in this way will Einstein not feel lonely.
In Switzerland, he couldn't even find anyone with whom he could communicate without any barriers.
And now, we finally have such an opportunity.
He wanted to make a splash at the convention.
Because during this time, he studied the Bohr model and discovered a very likely theoretical phenomenon.
The Bohr model believes that electrons have two transition modes.
But after in-depth research, Einstein was inspired.
No!
There is a third way to jump!
Boom!
Einstein smiled mysteriously.
In the United States, after reading Bohr's second paper, Michelson recalled the years when he was doing spectroscopy research.
“Those were wonderful days.”
Michelson was famous in the physics community for his manufacture of precision optical instruments.
This is inherited from senior Roland.
The reason why he won the Nobel Prize in Physics is: precision optical instruments and the spectroscopy and metrology research done with them.
When he saw the spectrum of hydrogen, Michelson smiled knowingly.
As the simplest element in the periodic table, hydrogen has been thoroughly studied by countless people when he was young.
Various absorption spectra and emission spectra have been measured.
But Michelson was different from them. What he liked was precise measurement.
He had nothing to do, so he took out his previous research materials and looked at them again.
It’s okay if you don’t look at it. Michelson was stunned instantly when he looked at it.
At this moment, what he was looking at was the data he measured on the Balmer system of hydrogen.
"This is"
"How is it possible?"
"Oh my god, why didn't I notice it at the time."
"The Bohr model cannot explain this problem !”
Boom!
Michelson froze in shock.
What an incredible thing he discovered.
“No, I want to repeat this experiment immediately.”
“Bohr’s model may have major flaws.”
Germany, Frank and G. Hertz are conducting experiments .
The two of them have a good relationship.
Atomic research is in full swing today.
So the two decided to study electrons together, and the direction was the collision of electrons.
The experiment they had been doing before was to bombard various atoms with electrons.
After G·Hertz collected the experimental data, he performed a simple analysis through mental arithmetic as usual.
Suddenly, he shouted: "Frank, look, our experimental results can be perfectly explained by the Bohr model."
After quickly reading the manuscript of Frank's results, he laughed and said: "Oh God, We should really treat Bohr to a meal."
"He helped us a lot, hahaha"
The two laughed, and the experiment made a major breakthrough.
In the Netherlands, Lorenz and Zeeman were chatting over coffee.
Lorenz smiled and said: "Quantum theory is good for everything. It can explain most of the spectral problems."
"But it can't solve the Zeeman effect."
"I don't know. Did Bruce and his disciple Bohr consider this issue?"
"When the time comes, I will ask questions at the September meeting."
"They won't. I am the host, huh, I have to give them both a lesson.”
Zeeman echoed with a smile: "I read Bohr's paper three times, and it is true that it cannot explain the Zeeman effect."
"It can only be said that this theory is far from solving all the problems of atoms."
Lorentz sighed, "That is so difficult."
"Even a genius like Bruce has not penetrated deep into the inside of the atom."
Zeeman said : "Maybe this has something to do with Bruce having been conquering general relativity."
"When he frees up his hands, I'm afraid quantum theory will develop tremendously."
Lorentz said happily: "I hope so."
UK, King's College London.
Chris, Gregory, and Yu Yin, the three victims looked excited and their bodies could not stop trembling.
On the experimental table in front of you, you are visiting the latest experimental data.
Chris's mouth was dry and he asked in disbelief: "This should be considered a brand new physical phenomenon, right?"
Gregory swallowed and said tremblingly: "It should be, right? I have not seen similar results reported in the paper."
Yu Yin was relatively calm, "It's pretty good."
After Qian Wushi, Bohr and others made great achievements one after another. , one can imagine the pressure on Chris and the other three.
The original topic given to them by Li Qiwei was to study the changes in element spectra under the action of electric fields and changes in weak magnetic fields.
Zeeman discovered the Zeeman effect by studying the effect of spectra under strong magnetic fields.
Then Li Qiwei concluded that the spectrum of elements must also change under an electric field.
Although Zeeman and others tried, they all failed.
Chris and others also failed many times.
They once wondered whether Professor Bruce might be wrong.
However, the success of Qian Wushi and Bohr made the three of them dare not voice their doubts no matter what.
And now, it turns out that Professor Bruce is never wrong.
The three of them really made it!
Although there are no results yet for weak magnetic fields.
But the spectrum of elements will change under a strong electric field, and this result is enough for them to graduate with their Ph.D.
Because this is a new phenomenon that can be compared with the Zeeman effect.
Chris said excitedly: "Professor Bruce is my god."
Both he and Gregory belong to the category of people with ordinary qualifications.
In the physics world where great minds gather, it is simply at the bottom.
Chris and Gregory never thought of becoming as famous as Bohr and Qian Wushi.
They only hope to complete Professor Bruce's task and successfully graduate with a doctorate.
Because the path of becoming a physicist is too difficult.
For those without talent, it is simply a kind of torture.
A few years later, Gregory, the Nobel Prize winner in physics who has been in charge of "Nature" for decades, said this in an interview:
"The reason why I did not continue to do physics research is very Simple.”
"Because compared to Bohr and others, I am too stupid."
"I need to think about a problem for a month, but Bohr can solve it in an afternoon."
"I can get physics The Nobel Prize is entirely because of my most beloved Professor Bruce."
"This is a gift he gave me, and I will never forget it in my life."
Countless even "Nature". Professors who could not publish their works were all devastated by Gregory's Versailles.
What a bully!
You are considered stupid, then we are as stupid as pigs.
The Second Quantum Theory Conference was like a fuse that completely ignited modern physics.
Countless people are fully prepared for this meeting.
Whether Bohr’s model will be held up to the altar or will it be questioned.
Everything is unknown.
