Chapter 278 The road to becoming a god is long! I am not alone!
The news of the second quantum theory conference spread with lightning speed throughout the global physics community.
This will be another super heavyweight physics academic conference after the first Bruce Conference.
With Bruce’s appeal, all well-known physicists in the world will attend the meeting.
This is an event of immense influence.
Nowadays, because of the changes brought about by Li Qiwei in the physics world, everyone has a special liking for this kind of meeting.
Especially the high-end conferences for many physicists are very popular.
What was the most exciting part of the meeting?
Keynote speaker’s speech?
Of course not!
And the question and answer session.
The big guys asked sharp questions one after another, going straight to the core of the theory.
The speaker must rack his brains and deal with it with all his strength.
This is the plot that fascinates all the little Karami the most.
Those questions are all challenging the limits of physics.
This is the collision of the highest wisdom.
A random spark is enough to bring endless inspiration to ordinary people.
The First Quantum Theory Conference, Relativity Theory Symposium, etc., Bruce’s wonderful answers left a deep impression on everyone.
Now, the speaker became his student, Bohr.
This genius who rose at the speed of a comet swept the world of physics.
Bohr's model, as well as the concepts it contains such as quantum orbitals, electronic transitions, energy levels, etc., make people admire it.
The second quantum theory conference will definitely be unimaginably exciting.
King's College London.
Li Qiwei is entertaining Rutherford from Manchester.
Since the publication of Bohr's model, Rutherford has been committed to studying it.
His research group is now divided into two groups.
One group specializes in radioactivity and the other in atomic structure.
Each group is divided into several directions.
Compared with Li Qiwei, Rutherford is a really big team.
No wonder it can create so many results.
Today, Rutherford and Marie Curie are known as the "two giants of radioactivity."
They have included almost all the results of radioactivity.
In the field of atomic structure, Rutherford had already begun to study the nucleus.
At this time Rutherford smiled and said: "Bruce, Bohr overturned your planetary model and improved the operating rules of electrons."
"It is very possible that I can improve your atomic nucleus. Concept.”
"Do you think it is possible for the atomic nucleus to be further subdivided and have a more refined structure?"
Li Qiwei was surprised after hearing this. It was indeed Rutherford.
Even if the other party’s planetary model was published first by myself.
But his keen insight was still there, and he actually began to think about the internal structure of the atomic nucleus.
In real history, it was in 1919 that Rutherford bombarded nitrogen nuclei with alpha particles and discovered protons, which were the same substance as hydrogen ions.
But now, the other party has begun to march towards the atomic nucleus.
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Rutherford, I can't compete with you in experiments."
"I'm only good at doing theoretical work."
"But I think your idea is very good.”
“If it can be confirmed that the atomic nucleus has an internal structure, it will be explosive news in the world of physics.”
"Your idea is very good, then I will start researching it."
Rutherford:
"Bruce, you are really enough."
"You are all There are so many achievements, but you still want to take my job.”
“No, you are not allowed to study. If you join, I will have nothing to do.”
Ridgway laughed.
Rutherford added: "Moseley in my team is verifying the X-rays emitted by elements based on Bohr's model."
"If the experimental results are achieved, this will be a confirmation of Bohr's model." A powerful proof of the model.”
“Hey, I feel deeply as I watch quantum theory develop and grow little by little.”
Li Qiwei also sighed: “Yes, I watched it. It grew in my hands.”
"But, Rutherford, you are now known as the giant of radioactivity."
"No one can compare with you in the field of radioactivity."
Rutherford smiled confidently, Obviously acquiescing to his own strength.
Although in terms of theoretical physics, he is not as good as Li Qiwei.
But in terms of experimental physics, Rutherford is the leading experimental physicist today.
"Bruce, I find it very strange."
"Since quantum theory is the theory that explains atoms, why is it now powerless to deal with radioactivity."
"It stands to reason that radioactivity is also an activity inside an atom. , should be consistent with the Bohr model."
"Several major legacy of classical physics, spectroscopy, periodic table, etc., have been solved."
"Even X-rays. The mechanism has also been elucidated.”
"They are both rays. What is the essential difference between the rays emitted by radioactive materials and X-rays."
"I still can't figure it out."
Li Qiwei sighed inwardly, and it really cannot be underestimated. Any big shot in this era.
They all have forward vision and extremely active thinking.
When Bohr published his second paper and perfected Bohr's model, many people had already begun to want to apply it to radioactivity.
However, they can only be in vain.
Because radioactivity is the activity inside the nucleus, the effect of protons and neutrons.
Now is not the time.
Although Sodi proposed the displacement law, he had no idea about the mechanism of nuclear displacement.
It is better to say it is a guess than a rule.
It’s just that this conjecture fits the facts so well that it feels like it must be right.
"Rutherford, this is more interesting, isn't it?"
"If Bohr's model could explain everything, then I, the teacher, would not dare to teach Bohr anymore."
"He has published the theory of everything, haha."
Rutherford smiled and said: "Bruce, you have to let Bohr be careful."
"I have thought carefully about his theory recently and found that there is a problem that the model cannot explain."
"And this problem is very important."
"However, I can't tell you yet. "
"I have to study it myself first."
Li Qiwei looked at Rutherford with a smile. He had already guessed that this meeting would not be peaceful.
Someone must be making trouble.
But this is what Li Qiwei likes to see.
If the academic field is just one word, what’s the point?
Since ancient times, any great discovery has been made amid controversy and doubt.
I have never seen a theory that finally achieved a breakthrough by filling out a form, stating the reasons for the research, and then starting research.
It was just a game where you lied to me and I lied to you.
So, a meeting without questioning is soulless.
Li Qiwei just felt a little sorry for Bohr.
I guess he will be hit this time.
Finally, Ridgway and Rutherford talked about Madame Curie again.
Rutherford said that Marie Curie has been a little bad recently.
He recently went to France to attend a radiology conference and had a few words with the other party.
I found that Madame Curie looked haggard and had no energy.
Through other people, Rutherford learned that Madame Curie seemed to be involved in emotional disputes.
But he didn’t know clearly. Li Qiwei sighed, this stupid debt will eventually come.
In this era, it would be rare for a female scientist like Marie Curie not to receive strange looks.
However, if nothing else happens, Marie Curie will soon become the first person in history to win a double Nobel Prize.
This honor is enough to suppress any news that is not good for her.
Li Qiwei suddenly looked strange and thought a lot.
Counting all the Nobel Prizes in later generations, there are only five people in history who have won two Nobel Prizes.
“Tsk, should I consider winning three Nobel Prizes and breaking history.”
“Why don’t I just work harder and get a Grand Slam.”
"Hey."
While Li Qiwei was dreaming, the fate of several young people had changed because of him.
University of Chicago, USA.
Hubble is already on his way to the UK.
Previously, Ridgway had told Michelson on the phone that he very much welcomed Hubble to study with him.
And he promised to guide and train them carefully.
Michelson was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly asked Hubble to prepare.
Li Qiwei naturally had important reasons for accepting Hubble.
After his general theory of relativity is published, it will surely open up cosmology.
And Hubble is the soul of it.
Of course, including Hawking from a certain island in later generations.
Black holes, gravitational waves, universe expansion
When humans really turned their gaze to the stars, they discovered that Newton's universal gravitation was too simple.
It cannot describe the vastness of the universe.
The magic of the universe is far beyond everyone's imagination.
In another part of the United States, Compton is begging his eldest brother, Professor Carl.
"Brother, you must take me to the second quantum theory conference."
"It's so shocking."
"If I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Karl is helpless.
"Compton, the conference is held in England, which is too far away from the United States."
"You have never traveled far."
"I'm worried that you won't adapt."
"Don't worry, I can record all the content of the meeting, and I guarantee that you won't miss a word."
Compton didn't Agree, still begging.
“How can reading notes be better than attending the lecture live.”
“Quantum theory is now the hottest research field in physics.”
"If I miss it, I will definitely not be able to catch up with others in the future."
"I am also planning to become a doctoral student with Professor Bruce in the future."
"I must leave him with a desire to learn. Impression.”
“So, I must go to this meeting.”
Karl was helpless about his stubborn brother.
"You think it's easy to be a physicist."
"You only see the grace of Bruce, Bohr and others."
"But you don't see those who have no talent. Struggle."
"For example, your eldest brother and I are professors of physics."
"But they are far behind Bohrpi, let alone compared to Bruce."
"You, stay down to earth."
Compton didn't take his elder brother's words to heart at all.
At this moment, he was young and frivolous, and vowed to make a career in physics.
In real history, Compton is a very important figure.
He played a role as a link between the past and the following.
It was precisely because he discovered the "Compton effect" that he proved the correctness of the wave-particle duality of light.
Inspired by Compton, de Broglie found inspiration and proposed the concept of material waves.
Based on this concept, Heisenberg dared to abandon the theory of electron orbits and start quantum mechanics.
It can be said that Compton and de Broglie are the bridge between old quantum theory and quantum mechanics.
In real history, the development of quantum mechanics can be divided into four stages.
The first stage was when Planck proposed the concept of quantum in 1900.
The second stage was from 1912 to 1913, when Bohr proposed the quantized atomic model, turning quantum theory into a real theory.
The third stage was in 1924, when de Broglie proposed matter waves.
His basis is Einstein's hypothesis of wave-particle duality of light and Compton's proof.
The fourth stage was from 1925 to 1926, when Heisenberg and Schrödinger independently proposed the framework form of quantum mechanics.
In Li Qiwei's plan, he will play a vital role in all four stages.
However, all this will have to wait until after the First World War.
By then, his city of science must have begun to take shape and become sufficiently attractive.
Perhaps history will undergo major changes.
For example, all the heroes of quantum mechanics were ultimately his students.
Then combined with the theory of relativity, his status should surpass Newton.
Become the only god of physics!
Now, de Broglie has just stepped into the door of physics.
As a second-generation nobleman, no one thought he was serious.
Everyone thinks he must be just playing around.
When he is tortured to death by those physical formulas, he will give up on his own.
It is precisely because of this that Langevin feels that de Broglie is ordinary and has difficulty making achievements in physics.
But De Broglie himself is very confident.
He is also preparing to attend the second quantum theory conference.
He would like to see what is so special about those so-called physics geniuses.
Now, our classmate Xue is busy falling in love.
He has just graduated from his Ph.D. and is now a researcher at the Institute of Physics in Vienna, Austria.
Besides scientific research, Schrödinger’s hobby was talking about his girlfriend.
Even he himself can't remember his love history clearly.
In real history, Schrödinger was romantic from his youth to his sixties.
He has many partners.
He has colleagues’ wives, his own assistants, his own students, actors, artists, government employees.
The most important thing is that many people are willing to give him children.
He is simply a role model for our generation.
I don’t know how Schrödinger cheated.
And now, this suave boss is gearing up to attend the second quantum theory conference.
Not for anything else, just to look familiar.
After all, the Austrian Empire really has no sense of presence in the field of physics.
Schrödinger felt that his development ceiling was too low.
He was going to find a good place for himself.
Germany was his only choice.
This meeting may be an opportunity.
What Li Qiwei didn’t know was that because of this meeting, geniuses from all over the world were attracted.
He is like a huge magnet, gathering the best of the world.
The older generation, the same generation, the younger generation, everyone is his like-minded friend.
And those geniuses who are still children, or even not yet born, will grow up listening to his legendary stories.
Physics shines because of him!
