Chapter 321 The stars gather! Attracting worldwide attention! The Secret of the Iron Throne! Conference topic: Relativity and quantum theory!
On the evening of October 29, 1912, the Langham Hotel, London.
This is the site of the first blues conference.
Its high-end positioning and decoration style make Li Qiwei like this place very much.
So the 2nd Blues Conference continues here.
As early as a few days ago, Li Qiwei announced the theme of this conference in advance: relativity and quantum theory.
This topic is expected by most people.
At the first Bruce Conference, Ridgway took a strong stance and predicted that the core of modern physics is quantum theory and relativity.
You must know that the theory of relativity at that time was only the special theory of relativity, which had huge flaws.
Quantum theory only has poor concepts and a few experimental proofs.
No matter how you look at it, neither of them looks like a pillar of modern physics.
However, facts once again proved that Bruce's prophetic ability far exceeded his physical strength.
Just a few years later, quantum theory made a strong breakthrough, and the Bohr-Lee model shocked the physics world.
The three large quantum numbers are self-contained and logically rigorous, ending spectroscopy and successfully explaining the atomic structure issue that has been debated for more than ten years.
The world is shocked!
Bruce even proposed a probabilistic explanation, causing a worldwide uproar.
Everyone feels that this conjecture must be wrong.
However, until now, no one has been able to provide strong evidence to refute it.
Then, the general theory of relativity came out, which was like thunder from the sky, making the world tremble.
It not only makes up for the shortcomings of the special theory of relativity, but also goes a step further and sublimates physicists' understanding of the universe.
It can be said that one article changed astronomy.
The five prophecies are earth-shattering and attract everyone to follow them.
The breakthrough of two major theories made Bruce's prediction at the first conference come true.
At this moment, no one doubts it anymore.
The theory of relativity governs the macroscopic world, and astronomy is its battlefield.
Quantum theory governs the microscopic world, and atomism is its battlefield.
The two major theories are distinct and can be called the two pillars of modern physics.
Now, Li Qiwei will lead everyone to analyze these two theories together.
All the big guys attending the conference will stay here one day in advance tonight.
Li Qiwei shook hands with everyone who came to the meeting.
Most of them are his old friends and there is no need to exchange pleasantries.
Everyone sat or stood casually, exchanging the latest research in their respective fields.
Also looking forward to the third day of public meetings.
That was the highlight of this meeting, and its excitement must have exceeded everyone’s imagination.
Einstein looked in high spirits. He had completely emerged from the shadow of general relativity.
He excitedly said Ridgway: "Bruce, congratulations, the theory of relativity is a great success."
"In the past three months, I have devoted almost all of my time to mathematics."
"Gross Mandu was annoyed by my question, hahaha."
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "No, Einstein, you are wrong."
"It should be congratulations to us, the theory of relativity also includes you. ”
"Without the special theory of relativity, there would be no general theory of relativity."
Einstein was startled, but he did not expect that Li Qiwei would think this way.
He suddenly felt warm in his heart, but he still smiled and said:
“Oh, Bruce, don’t be humble with me.”
“General relativity has nothing to do with it. You, no one can publish it.”
“The physical ideas used in it are really amazing.”
“In my opinion, the mathematical part of general relativity is just the icing on the cake.”
“There is no equivalence principle. No matter how complicated and sophisticated mathematics is, it’s useless."
At this time, Rutherford suddenly came up and said jokingly:
"I agree with what Einstein said."
"Bruce is the only one who has the theory of general relativity."
"You are the only one in the entire physics community who dares to be so deviant."
"I still remember when you told me that gravity is not The scene when it existed."
"God, I really thought that was a joke."
Li Qiwei looked at Rutherford's shocked look and was very impressed.
"Rutherford, it seems that you also understand my general theory of relativity?"
Rutherford was stunned.
“Well, Bruce, I’m not lying to you, I still can’t understand it.”
“My math is so bad that I’m too lazy to study anymore.”
“Anyway, I know that the theory of relativity has been completed by you alone.”
"There won't be any people behind you, so I won't join in the fun."
"I just want to study the nucleus now and prepare to overtake you in a corner."
"Hey, hey, You are very good at theory, but I am very confident when it comes to experiments.”
“I heard that it took several months to assemble the equipment during your Ph.D.”
“This aspect. , you are not even as good as my doctoral students.”
Einstein laughed from the sidelines.
I didn’t expect Bruce to have such a dark history.
But as a theoretical physicist, it is normal for my hands to be disabled.
Just like Einstein himself, doing experiments during his PhD was a life worse than death.
It is still comfortable to do theory, just a pen and a piece of paper.
Li Qiwei shrugged and said helplessly: "There is no way. God probably thought that I was too good and deliberately closed a window for me."
"However, I can't do experiments. I can let my Ph.D. Let’s do it.”
“Today’s young men are more powerful than the others.”
“We need to put more burden on them.”
Three treacherous professors are revealed. To squeeze the smiles of students.
After Einstein and Rutherford left, Bohr and Qian Wushi took the opportunity to come over.
As Li Qiwei’s students, the two of them were able to participate in the conference as participants, all thanks to the training of their mentors.
Therefore, they were very grateful and respectful to Li Qiwei.
Bohr said resentfully: "Professor, I regret graduating so early."
"I should stay and continue to study with you."
Li Qiwei said earnestly: "For a top researcher, learning too much about other people's knowledge is not necessarily a good thing."
"Because it may affect your own thinking."
“For example, Boer, in your atomic model, you couldn’t help but add the concept of orbit into it.”
“The whole process is so natural that you didn’t even notice anything in it. Unreasonableness.”
“This is the power of mindset.”
"What you studied during your undergraduate period is classical physics, and you will naturally substitute it into its system."
"This is actually a bit unsolvable."
"Because a person is in the beginner stage , and it is impossible not to learn basic knowledge.”
“So, this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.”
“Geniuses will not be affected by inherent things.”
Bohr and Master Qian listened very carefully and couldn't help but nod frequently.
Although Li Qiwei’s theory is not helpful for specific research.
But he stood at a higher level and studied the matter of "research" itself.
Li Qiwei remembered a certain novel that he had read in later generations.
The boss inside said to his disciple: "How much do you remember the moves I just showed you?"
Disciple: "Ninety percent."
The boss continued to demonstrate again.
"What now?"
Tu Sun: "70%."
Until the last time, the boss asked: "What now?" Tu Sun's eyes flashed. , said firmly: "Not even 10%."
The boss laughed.
"Okay, you have learned the magic skill."
"You can go pretend to be cool and pick up girls."
Li Qiwei didn't understand the truth before.
But now, he himself has become a boss in the eyes of others, and he is still a super boss.
The more he can understand the profound truth contained in it.
“The more you know, the more you don’t know.”
“The more you don’t know, the more you know.”
Bohr and Money The fifth division nodded in agreement, pretending that he understood.
Li Qiwei just mentioned the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. It seems that Bohr is not considered a genius.
In this regard, Bohr felt that it was natural.
In front of Professor Bruce, who dares to call himself a genius?
"Professor, I understand, I must examine the current quantum theory from a higher perspective."
Li Qiwei nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he asked Qian Wushi about his recent study visits and exchanges.
The four of them were hardly in London during this period. Instead, they were traveling around the world, absorbing the strengths of each family.
Master Qian felt very fulfilled and gained a lot.
“Professor, my biggest feeling is that there may be superior and inferior theories in physics.”
“But for physics as a whole, there is no important distinction between big and small. ”
"If physics is compared to a person."
"Then the three major theories of classical mechanics and the two major theories of modern physics are like the human heart."
"They Provide the strongest power for the entire physics. "
"And secondary physical theories and phenomena such as X-rays and superconductivity are capillaries."
"They. Transport the essence of physics to various fields and enrich the entire physics system.”
"The network composed of these huge capillaries has its own skills and rules."
"In some aspects, it can even make up for the lack of heart function."
Li Qiwei's eyes lit up. .
He did not expect Master Qian to have such profound insights.
He is not obsessed with the grand narrative of physics.
Instead, we should carefully study the nature of the segmentation direction.
This is very valuable.
It is said that Newton unified mechanics.
But there are countless branches under mechanics.
These branches are not just an expansion of Newton's three laws, but a sublimation.
For example, the famous analytical mechanics.
Although it was developed from mechanics, its rich connotations far exceed the scope of Newton's three laws.
It became a huge subject in later generations.
Without these deep branches.
Then Newtonian mechanics alone has no power, just like a rootless tree, just a beautiful porcelain.
Those sub-disciplines constitute the flesh and blood of theory.
In this world, genius is important.
But we cannot ignore the achievements of ordinary people.
Because there are only a few geniuses and their energy is limited.
If you want to carry forward the theory, you can only rely on countless people who are not so genius, but are willing to study.
Li Qiwei looked at Qian Wushi with admiration.
He originally thought that the other party who followed him would look down on those who did not have original theories.
Now it seems that the other party has changed from a doctor to a real physicist with his own ideas.
"Yes, Fifth Division, you have this kind of insight, which is very rare."
"This shows that you are growing rapidly."
"I'm looking forward to your future."
Li Qiwei patted Qian Wushi heavily on the shoulder and showed a smile that only the two of them could understand.
Their discussion attracted two big guys, Planck and Thomson.
Thomson smiled and said: "Bruce, it seems that you are very satisfied with these two students."
"You never praise others easily."
When Bohr saw Thomson, he no longer felt the embarrassment of the past.
He greeted the other party with a respectful smile.
Thomson joked: "Bohr, I am most afraid of seeing you now."
"As soon as I see you, I feel that I am old and can no longer recognize talents. ”
Everyone who said that laughed.
Bohr could only touch the back of his head, not knowing how to answer the question.
Li Qiwei said with a smile: "Professor, you just want to leave Bohr to me."
Everyone laughed again.
At this time, Lorenz came over.
He smiled and said: "Bruce, the theme of this meeting is relativity and quantum theory."
"I'm actually not curious. I'm just curious about what your Iron Throne looks like."
"Can you take us to see it now."
"I've also thought about it. The addiction of being a king.”
Lorenz’s words instantly attracted everyone.
Everyone is looking this way, obviously they have been looking forward to the legendary Iron Throne for a long time.
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, all twenty Iron Thrones were transported to the hotel yesterday."
"I believe they will definitely bring surprises to you."
Li Qiwei He said it very firmly and confidently.
Everyone was breathing heavily and looked at each other, seeing anticipation in each other's eyes.
Of the many big guys present, none of them are successful and have high status.
But he was still deeply attracted to the Iron Throne.
The most important factor is that it was built by Li Qiwei, the first physicist in the world.
Just like if Newton was alive, he personally minted twenty gold coins.
Exclusively given to top figures in the field of physics.
You can imagine how much everyone covets gold coins.
Now, Li Qiwei has such influence.
Everyone present had an incredible idea in their minds.
That is because Bruce is still so young and his future is really unimaginable.
Will one day the other party surpass Newton.
Then the gold content of the Iron Throne will reach a higher level, even surpassing all honors.
The so-called Nobel Prize may not be enough.
After all, it seems that Nobel Prizes will continue to be awarded, at least there are more than a hundred.
But the Iron Throne, you can tell by looking at Bruce’s level of dedication, it will only be less or not more in the future.
After all, this is the first time and no one has experience.
Perhaps the quantity will be fixed in the future.
However, no one present could imagine what the Iron Throne would mean in the future.
It transcends everything and is far more than the king of physics.
But the King of the World!
Many of them are lucky because they took advantage of it for the first time.
Otherwise, according to future standards, only a small number of the people present would be eligible to sit.
The Iron Throne truly fulfills its royal purpose. (I thought of a super awesome setting)
