Chapter 285 Unsolvable problem! Bohr gives up! Everyone is at a loss what to do! But that man hasn’t expressed his stance yet!
The first question in the Q&A session shocked everyone.
Professor Michelson is obviously well prepared.
He is extremely sharp as soon as he takes action.
His question is not a general one, but is supported by specific data.
That's a really good question.
It was so good that Bohr was a little overwhelmed.
But the existence of Li Qiwei gave Bohr hope.
Faced with Michelson's problem, Bohr finally chose to deal with it head-on.
He thought for five minutes and then said:
"Since the spectral line has split, it can be determined that another energy level difference appears within the extremely small range of this spectral line."
"According to the Bohr model, the Balmer system The four spectral lines, namely the third, fourth, fifth and sixth orbits, transition to the second orbit, producing four wavelengths of electromagnetic waves."
"So taking the third orbit as an example, this shows that the electron actually Two transitions occurred. "
"And the energies of these two transitions are very similar, so they emit electromagnetic waves with similar wavelengths."
After calming down, Bohr said to Michelson. issues were analyzed in detail.
His analysis also made most people in the audience nod slightly in approval.
Obviously, if Bohr's model is determined to be correct, then the reason is what Bohr said.
At this time, many people were full of confidence in Bohr.
His calmness gave everyone hope.
Especially the young people are extremely excited.
"Bohr, this is an open challenge to the Nobel laureate."
"It is really rare that he can maintain such clear logic."
"He is indeed a figure who became famous at a young age. , this state of mind is extraordinary.”
Bohr didn’t pay attention to the comments in the audience at all, he had entered a state of selflessness.
Only Michelson's question comes to mind.
"So, the key to the problem now is to find out this hidden transition method."
"The difference between it and the energy of the normal transition is extremely small."
" What could it be?”
Bohr’s wise eyes were fixed on Michelson’s data chart.
Then he looks at his own hydrogen atom orbital structure from time to time.
First of all, the third transition method proposed by Einstein can be ruled out.
Because of the transition in that way, the frequency of the emitted electromagnetic wave does not change.
Therefore, it is impossible to produce spectral line splitting.
Bohr fell into thinking for a long time again.
He said nothing.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue became extremely quiet.
No one dared to speak for fear of disturbing this blockbuster genius.
And many people are also following Bohr's analysis and thinking about their own ideas.
If it were them, how would they solve this problem?
Even the big guys in the front row frowned, held their chins, or murmured to themselves.
Let's follow Bohr's rhythm and think about the solution to this sharp problem.
Michelson looked at everyone's expressions and sighed.
Even if Bohr couldn't answer this question today, Michelson would not underestimate him.
You will still regard the other person as a genius in physics.
He is neither arrogant nor impatient. He handles problems calmly and does not avoid or make up things.
This quality is extremely valuable.
Michelson lamented that this meeting was really well done.
This kind of atmosphere of learning physics and thinking about physics is so strong that it is about to take shape.
When will the United States have such an atmosphere?
He saw Hubble, with a serious expression, frowning, and calculations in his hands.
He saw Millikan, rubbing his new beard with his hands, which was useless except for being handsome.
He saw Planck, Lorenz, Thomson and others.
But no matter who it was, there was a puzzled look on their face, full of doubts.
However, Michelson was not proud at all.
Because he doesn’t know the answer himself.
Although he raised the question, he couldn't explain it himself, so he had nothing to be proud of.
Michelson's eyes quickly swept across the hundreds of people in the venue, and then returned to the stage.
He saw Bohr meditating there, as motionless as a sculpture.
Then, he looked at Bruce again.
Suddenly!
wrong!
What's going on!
Bruce is actually laughing?
“What?”
Michelson was instantly shocked.
Faced with his question, everyone in the venue was scratching their heads, with doubts on their faces.
But Bruce is laughing?
Although his smile is very slight.
But Michelson was close enough to see it.
The other party seemed not to be stumped by this problem, but already had a solution.
Michelson murmured: "No way, Bruce, you are just deserting, thinking of other good things."
He didn't dare to imagine that the other party already had the answer, that was too exaggerated.
Today there are so many big guys in the field of physics gathered here.
Could it be said that all the people present together are not as good as Bruce?
Michelson shook his head fiercely. He thought that was a fantasy.
However, he did not dare to ask: That young gentleman, what are you laughing at?
Because the last person to ask was Lord Kelvin.
Everyone knows the final result.
Michelson did not want to be the second Lord Kelvin.
So, he no longer paid attention to Li Qiwei, but quietly waited for Bohr.
But he still glances at Li Qiwei from time to time, just like a conditioned reflex.
Fifteen minutes have passed.
Bohr sighed helplessly.
He looked at Michelson first.
"Professor, I'm sorry, I can't explain this problem at the moment."
"This shows that my model still needs improvement."
"Next, I will keep studying this problem until it is solved."
Then, Bohr looked at the stage again The people below said sincerely:
"Everyone here, if anyone can explain this problem, please give me some advice."
Boom!
The venue exploded instantly.
Bohr gave up directly.
Countless people were wailing.
“God, my Bohr, why did you give up.”
“Hey, you can’t blame him. It’s really Professor Michelson’s problem that is too difficult. Look, Aren’t the big guys in the front row thinking too?”
"My idol, Bohr, I didn't expect to be defeated."
"The older generation of physicists is really terrible. They directly killed a Bohr to sacrifice to heaven, which established his reputation."< br>
At this moment, all those who liked Bohr felt helpless and a little sympathetic.
The path of Tianjiao is not easy!
Bohr had just emerged and suffered a fatal blow, which was really tragic.
Although the Bohr model can explain many problems, it cannot even explain its own theoretical basis, which is too strange.
You know, Bohr's second paper was based on the Balmer system.
Now that the foundation has collapsed, the impact on theory can be imagined.
After hearing Bohr's words, Michelson couldn't help but sigh.
He was a little worried that if he did this, it would undermine Bohr's self-confidence and make the other party unable to recover.
However, he changed his mind and realized that this was a serious academic exchange in physics.
How can one be swayed by personal feelings?
If Bohr is really so fragile, then he does not deserve the title of genius. His mentor, Bruce, faced far more skepticism than he did.
The theory of relativity has not yet solved the problems of inertial systems and gravity.
Even if there are problems with Bohr's theory, it does not affect its greatness.
It is still a theory worth studying, a groundbreaking theory.
It just makes people feel a little regretful.
At this time, Michelson said: "Okay, Bohr, don't be nervous."
"It's okay if there is a problem, let's find a solution together."
"Your mentor has bigger problems than you."
Ha!
The venue burst into laughter.
The dull atmosphere just now was instantly resolved by Professor Michelson's humor.
Even Bohr couldn't help but laugh, and his mood finally improved a little.
At this time, Michelson asked again: "So, everyone in the audience, can anyone explain this problem?"
"Don't be afraid, you can speak out your guesses boldly, it doesn't matter if you are wrong."< br>
“I, an old guy, don’t know it anyway, so don’t bear any psychological burden.”
Michelson is indeed a highly respected physics senior, without any of the arrogance of his prime.
His encouragement gave everyone confidence.
However, it is a good thing to have confidence, but there is really nothing you can do if you don’t have the goods.
It's just like doing math problems.
No means no.
It is difficult to even make up a word.
Liberal arts is better, regardless of whether it is good or not, I will write a few hundred words first.
At this time, Planck spoke, and he said with a smile:
“Professor Michelson, your question makes me ashamed.”
“I should introduce the Balmer system. To Bohr."
"I didn't expect there to be such a story."
"I'm helpless. I hope someone can step forward to solve this problem."
Wow!
The crowd was in commotion.
Even Gangster Planck publicly admitted that he could no longer do it.
In comparison, Bohr's giving up seems reasonable.
If he doesn’t give up, he will be an old cow flying on a plane, and he will be awesome.
Soon, many of the big guys in the front row shook their heads slightly.
No one has any ideas.
Even if there was one, it was quickly rejected in my mind.
No one can think of a logically self-consistent explanation.
At this moment, all the young people in the venue were excited.
If this suddenly explodes and a method is figured out, it will cause a sensation in the physics world in an instant.
I'm afraid he will be more famous than Bohr.
Hubble, Compton, de Broglie, Schrödinger
G. Hertz, Frank, Moseley
Einstein, Laue, Bragg the Younger, Qian Wushi
Wilson, Richardson, Bakla, Langevin
Everyone secretly regretted that this was an excellent opportunity, even an opportunity to change their destiny.
How they want to stand up quickly and shout loudly: "I can!"
Tsk, tsk, that feeling, just thinking about it makes people excited and unable to extricate themselves.
Unfortunately, I can only think about it.
When Bohr saw this scene on the stage, he was both relieved and even more disappointed.
Even so many physics masters and geniuses are at a loss what to do. Can he really do it on his own?
This probably means that the Bohr model has fatal flaws and may even be short-lived.
That was something Bohr couldn't bear no matter what.
Suddenly, at this moment, Bohr suddenly looked towards Li Qiwei as if telepathically.
At this moment, Li Qiwei had regained his composure, his face calm.
Bohr screamed crazily in his heart, and even had a hint of expectation.
“No, even if everyone gives up, there is one man who will never.”
“Professor Bruce has not expressed his position until now.”
“His face He is neither sad nor happy, he is cold and serious, he must be still thinking about this issue. ”
"That means there is still hope!"
"Even if everyone is not optimistic, Professor Bruce will never give up."
At this moment, Bohr's eyes suddenly burned again. Fighting spirit.
He also has a mentor!
That god-like man!
The other party was like a big tree in the sky, firmly protecting him, a small sapling, underneath him.
Let the wind blow from east to west, north and south!
Michelson: Hello, hello, Bohr, your teacher was still smiling just now. Who said he had no expression? This filter is too serious.
At this moment, everyone in the venue also noticed something unusual.
They all followed Bohr’s gaze and looked at Li Qiwei.
Then came a sudden start.
“Oh my God, how could I forget about Professor Bruce.”
“He is the host today and doesn’t talk much, so I subconsciously ignored him.”
>
"Yes, Professor Bruce hasn't spoken yet."
"God, have you ever observed Professor Bruce? He has been thinking since the question was raised."
"That man, as always, makes people feel reassured."
"It's just that there are so many big guys here who can't do anything, and hundreds of people are helping."
"Professor Bruce is really Is that possible?”
“Can he alone be worthy of the entire physics community?”
At this moment, Michelson finally locked in on Li Qiwei.
The doubts in my mind just now will finally be revealed soon.
I saw him smiling and saying: "Bruce, now the three giants of quantum theory have given up on two."
"You are the only one who has not expressed his stance."
“Can you still create miracles like before?”
“So many of us are waiting for you, don’t let us down.”
"Look at the eyes of your student Bohr, it is the flame of hope."
Li Qiwei finally recovered and smiled at everyone.
Then he said in his confident voice: "Sorry, I just got distracted thinking about the problem."
Then he walked to Bohr casually.
He patted the other person gently, his face full of kindness.
"You performed well. Although you don't know how to do it, you have the courage to do your best to analyze this problem, which makes me very satisfied."
"Sometimes, courage is more important than strength."
< br>At this moment, Bohr suddenly felt the urge to cry.
Li Qiwei's words broke Bohr's heart and gave him infinite strength and security.
It was cold at high places, but his mentor kept him warm.
At this moment, Ridgway no longer looked at Bohr, but turned his back to everyone, looking at Bohr's atomic orbital model diagram.
He said softly: "Why does it have to be round?"
Huh?
Most of the people in the audience were confused.
I have no idea what Li Qiwei meant.
but.
Boom!
There were a few big guys in the front row, and their eyes suddenly lit up!
It seems that something suddenly comes to mind.
That is?
How is that possible!
And Bohr was even more shocked.
Shocking!
