Chapter 280 The old and new king! The stars are shining brightly! Physics event! The meeting begins!
The second quantum theory conference is held at King's College London.
Such a large-scale conference cannot be afforded by the size of the hotel in this era.
Although Li Qiwei expected at least 500 people to attend the meeting.
But if the guarantee is not complete, people from other fields will join in the fun.
After all, he did not limit the majors of the participants.
Of course, ordinary people who are not scholar students cannot participate, and there will be identity verification.
After all, this conference is a purely academic conference.
It is not popular science like the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
Ordinary people can at least get a general idea of it, and there is also content that is closely related to life.
But looking at it from another perspective, most of the students at this conference are actually equivalent to ordinary people at other conferences.
Anyway, the effect is the same, you can only shout 666 below.
As the time gets closer, the world of physics becomes more and more lively.
Major professional journals and newspapers have already sent personnel to station in advance.
Of course Li Qiwei did not deliberately expand the scope of publicity at this meeting.
The news was limited to the scientific community, especially physics.
This kind of high-end meeting is not suitable to be turned into a flashy gimmick.
What Li Qiwei wanted was a purely academic confrontation.
In King's College London, colorful flags are now flying and various notices are everywhere, welcoming the arrival of the second quantum theory conference.
Students and teachers are also very excited, and they will soon meet many big names in the field of physics.
If you are appreciated by a big boss and accepted as a graduate student, you will be prosperous.
Everyone has adjusted their mental outlook to the best. At first glance, he looks like a young man with a liver. He can do experiments without eating or drinking.
Vice Principal Karp grinned to the back of his head.
Being able to host such a high-standard conference will be a huge improvement to the school's status and popularity.
Although many people know King’s College London through Ridgway.
But seeing everything on campus with your own eyes is even more impressive.
From now on, there will be a steady stream of students coming to study, teachers coming to teach, and professors coming to research.
The school has the qualification to hit the world's famous schools.
And the school does not have to pay for this conference, it is all covered by Pioneer Investment Group.
Of course Vice Principal Karp was extremely happy.
Manpower and material resources are readily available, and schools have plenty of free labor.
"If the status of King's College London can be comparable to Oxford and Cambridge in the future, then I should be the most awesome principal in the history of the school."
"Hehehehe."
< br>Garp was having wild fantasies there.
At this moment, his gratitude and admiration for Li Qiwei could not be greater.
The other party is simply a lucky star.
Anyone who goes against him will not end well.
Everyone who is friends with him will soar to the sky in the end.
Everyone knows how to choose.
Li Qiwei was a little speechless as he watched Garp drooling.
He came today to discuss the details of meeting preparations with the other party.
"Principal Karp, the various equipment in the conference room are already in place."
"I need 2 projectors this time, so that they can work independently."
"I want to give this meeting a different surprise."
Hearing the voice, Garp was awakened from his sweet dream and said quickly: "Bruce, don't worry, everything is ready as you requested. ”
"This meeting is a big deal. The top management of the school are paying attention. Nothing will go wrong."
"But, didn't the speakers come up one by one?"
"Why? Need to prepare two projection equipment?"
Li Qiwei smiled mysteriously and said: "Because I learned the lesson from the last relativity seminar."
"I found that if someone asks a question, ask it. A single writing device is best. ”
"In this case, the speaker and the questioner can have a public discussion at the same time, which is exciting."
Karp opened his mouth wide, he had never seen that kind of scene.
In this day and age, meetings are not always easy.
You go up and finish speaking, then come down, and I will go up and speak again.
According to the situation Bruce described, the meeting is likely to look like this:
A: This is the mathematical form of my theory. (Crack, click, click)
B: You made a mistake here and did not consider the extreme situation. (Kakaka)
A: What you wrote is wrong and you did not understand the physical meaning of my formula. (Kakaka)
B: Nonsense, I can just transform it like this. (Crack, click, click)
A: You XXX.
B: You XXX.
Garp suddenly became excited. How could he feel that something would happen like this?
But anyway, with Bruce here, no one can make a difference.
Garp didn’t care.
Then he discussed with Li Qiwei for a while before finally confirming all the links.
Next, just wait quietly.
Time passed quietly in the excitement of the physics community, and soon it was time for the meeting.
September 1, 1911, 8 am.
On this day, the whole of London is flooded with knowledge.
All the top physicists in the world gathered together to almost push back the smog in London.
The scale of this time even exceeded the relativity conference nine years ago.
Whether it is in terms of the number of people or the level of people who come to participate, it must be surpassed.
Because the new generation has grown up.
Laue, Born, Langevin and others who could only stand behind like ants back then are now on the edge.
Not to mention super new stars like Qian Wushi and Bohr.
These nine years have been a golden age for the world of physics.
Various achievements are blowing out, and physics is developing explosively.
One year is worth the previous ten years.
And as modern physics begins to exert its power, the younger generation's voice is about to surpass that of the older generation.
This is the law of nature.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation becomes stronger than the last!
At this moment, the auditorium of King's College London was already overcrowded.
The school borrowed many benches and chairs from other places and stuffed them in various corners of the auditorium.
However, even so, Li Qiwei still underestimated the number of people.
There are still many people who can only stand or lean against the wall.
A rough estimate is that there were at least 800 people in the auditorium.
What a terrifying number this is. The previous relativity conference only had about 400 people.
Under the podium, Karp was sweating anxiously. He had never encountered such a heated meeting scene.
A physics conference can have such a big impact.
I can only say that Professor Bruce is awesome.
His appeal is terrifying.
However, although there are not enough seats, those who can come to the meeting today are at least college students, and their overall quality is still very high, so it will not affect the meeting.
The venue was noisy, but everyone had excited expressions on their faces.
Many people even craned their necks to look forward, because sitting there were all the big names and rookies in physics today.
In order to facilitate the discussion at the meeting, Li Qiwei specially divided the venue into several areas, farther and farther away from the podium.
The first area is full of senior figures in the field of physics, including:
Roentgen, Planck, Lorentz, Marie Curie (ladies preferred), Thomson, Michelson, Lippmann, Wei Well;
Two old-timers, Lord Rayleigh and Vander Waal, did not participate due to physical reasons.
The second area is the rising stars of physics in the past decade (not just young people), including:
Rutherford, Zeeman, Nernst, Sommerfeld, Blau Ern, Einstein, Laue, Born;
Millikan, Lao Bragg, Bakla, Lang Zhiwan and Qian were the five divisions.
The third area is for professors, scholars or potential figures, including:
Richardson, Wilson, Bragg Jr., Rutherford team members, etc.;
G. Hertz, Frank, Ehrenfest, etc.;
Professors from various universities and research institutions, such as Carl, Case, Oster, etc.
Outside of these three areas, the rest is for casual seating.
At this time, Hubble, de Broglie, Schrödinger, and Compton were still small figures and did not receive any preferential treatment.
It can be said that this meeting is definitely a gathering of stars and a huge momentum.
Bohr on the stage began to tremble when he saw the people below.
Although he was already a famous figure in the physics community at this time.
But seeing so many big guys and geniuses sitting quietly in the audience, just to listen to his own speech, it was a lie that Bohr was not nervous.
However, soon, he followed the method given to him by his instructor, took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and kept himself calm.
Reflecting inwardly:
"Bohr, you are no longer the ignorant boy you were before."
"Now you have finally truly stepped onto the stage of physics. .”
"There are not many people here who are better than you. You are the best." "Oli, come on!"
Li Qiwei stood aside as the host and watched. He looked at Bohr and smiled knowingly.
Sooner or later the other party will grow into a towering tree, and now is just the beginning.
Looking at the people in the audience, Li Qiwei was also filled with pride.
Looking at the current scientific community, no one except him has such appeal.
So many big guys are here just for his sake.
There are even people in chemistry, medicine and other fields.
Because they all wanted to come and see if Bruce would make any shocking remarks again.
Although the other party is the host this time, it doesn't matter.
He was an audience member at the British Association for the Advancement of Science before, but he still caused an earth-shattering sensation.
Bruce's light is so dazzling that even if he is placed among a bunch of writers, he will still shine.
At this time, Li Qiwei saw that the number of people in the venue was no longer increasing, so he was ready to start.
He touched the loudspeaker, which made a loud "buzzing" sound, and the venue suddenly began to quiet down.
Everyone is waiting for the speech of this super boss in the scientific world.
“Everyone is very welcome to attend the second quantum theory conference.”
“I didn’t expect that there would be so many people today.”
“This shows that quantum theory is not obscure and difficult enough. , everyone present can understand it.”
Wow!
The crowd burst into laughter, followed by waves of applause.
Li Qiwei's humor successfully caused everyone to complain.
No one here has really realized how difficult quantum theory is.
"Haha, Professor Bruce is too funny."
"Quantum theory does not have complicated mathematical calculations. If there is anything I can't understand, I don't even care about the special theory of relativity."
“It’s just changing the classical continuous orbit into a discontinuous quantum orbit.”
Everyone is very confident.
Although it is not the quantum theory and Bohr model they created.
But everyone can easily understand the paper.
Li Qiwei looked at everyone's expressions and smiled slightly, hoping that you can maintain this confidence in the future.
“Of course, I am not qualified to say whether quantum theory is difficult or not.”
"Professor Planck and I just proposed the concept of quantum."
"The person in the center of the podium who really promoted it was the one in the center of the podium."
The eyes of hundreds of people turned to each other. Brush looked at Bohr.
“He is also my most proud student, the best student.”
“He is Bohr.”
"The proposer of the Bohr model, the terminator of spectroscopy, the pioneer of atomic structure."
"And the subverter of Bruce."
Wow!
The auditorium suddenly burst into laughter.
Bruce's last sentence is really hilarious.
As the first genius in physics.
Since his debut, Bruce has been on the road to subverting others.
Not only did he overturn his mentor, he also overturned Newton.
Can be called the number one madman in physics.
However, he did not expect that one day he would be subverted by others.
Moreover, the overthrower happened to be his proud disciple.
Thompson, Rutherford, Wilson and others in the audience were all laughing.
Unexpectedly, Bruce felt no pressure to harm himself, and had no sense of shame at all in proposing a wrong theory.
This kind of confidence is truly unmatched.
Ignoring everyone's voices, Li Qiwei continued: "Next, let us give time to Bohr."
"Listen to him carefully talking about the process of generating the Bohr model."
"Maybe it will be a little inspiration to everyone here, especially the young scholars."
Bang bang bang!
Thundering applause.
Bohr had completely adjusted his mood at this moment and was no longer nervous.
Looking at the hundreds of people in the audience, his heart suddenly calmed down.
“First of all, thank you all for listening to my speech.”
“Before I introduce my Bohr model, I need to thank two people.”
“One is Professor Planck. "
"It was at his prompting that I came up with the idea of using the quantized atomic model to explain Balmer's formula and the entire spectrum of spectroscopy."
“The other person is my mentor, Professor Bruce.”
“I can’t describe his contribution to me in any words.”
“Atomic research is the hottest topic in modern physics. Research direction.”
“Those who are qualified to conduct in-depth research are the top physicists and scientific research institutions in the world.”
“However, Professor Bruce is willing to take such an important direction. Leave it to me, an unknown young man.”
"Moreover, he didn't just ignore the topic, but guided me seriously."
"Even the application of quantum concepts to planetary models was first proposed by Professor Bruce."
Boom!
This time, everyone was really shocked.
It turns out there is such a story behind Bohr's model.
Originally everyone thought Bohr was Bruce's subversive.
But I found out today that Bruce already knew about the problem with his model.
And I have even thought of using quantum concepts to explain it.
Bruce subverted himself!
For a while, everyone felt that Bruce's genius was beyond imagination.
"Professor Bruce is really terrible."
"Are you even willing to give such achievements to students?"
"I'm envious."
"I'm envious too. It’s useless. Even if you give it to me, I can’t come up with the Bohr model.”
“The key is to be good at it.”
At this time, Bohr continued: "Of course, some people may be surprised."
"Since Professor Bruce has discovered the problem and has thought about it, why doesn't he study it himself?"
>"Because Professor Bruce is studying the more difficult general theory of relativity."
"Even with his level of genius, he cannot be distracted."
"So, I sometimes think, What kind of theory is general relativity? ”
"With my mentor's strength, will it take ten years?"
"Like everyone here, I am looking forward to it."
Boom!
The venue was completely boiling.
Everyone was attracted by Bohr's words.
At this moment, everyone's curiosity about general relativity has reached its peak.
How difficult it must be before Bruce has to give up his research on atomic structure.
At this time, Bohr suddenly raised his voice, looking high-spirited.
He was no longer humble, but said domineeringly:
"Of course, my mentor's theory of relativity is great, and my theory is not weak."
"Quantum theory is one of the two cores of modern physics in the future."
"I am confident that I can bring this theory to unprecedented heights."
"In the future, maybe I You can compete with my mentor!"
Boom!
At this moment, the tall shadow of Ridgway seemed to rise behind Bohr.
The young people in the auditorium suddenly became excited.
Many people even stood up and applauded Bohr.
His words inspired the young scholars present.
This courage to challenge their seniors made them tremble.
Furthermore, Bohr respected his teachers and did not neglect the role of his mentor just because of his achievements.
This quality is rare and valuable.
Although in the West there is no concept of being a teacher for a day and a father for the rest of your life.
But respecting teachers is a universal virtue all over the world.
Bohr won everyone's favor before the real drama began.
