Chapter 328 Who is the rival of the world’s heroes? All the talents have arrived! I am the only one!
Led by Crooks, Ridgway followed Thomson and others into the report hall.
Through the introduction of the president, Li Qiwei also had a preliminary understanding of the big guys arriving today.
Rutherford lowered his head and whispered in Ridgway's ear.
"Bruce, please don't deduce mathematical formulas on the spot later."
"Everyone who comes here probably can't understand it."
"Use your humorous personality."
"Explain the theory of relativity in easy-to-understand language."
Li Qiwei After hearing this, I smiled knowingly.
Rutherford was right. The theory of relativity is the most difficult theory in physics, let alone other disciplines.
The people who came today can be said to be from all walks of life.
The total number of participants reached an astonishing more than 2,000 people.
It is definitely a super meeting.
There are basically no ordinary people among them, they are all scholars and celebrities in various fields.
Although Li Qiwei did not require the identity of the participants.
But of course the Royal Society has its own standards.
And when there are too many people, security will be greatly reduced.
Li Qiwei had nothing to do about this.
In an era without television or Internet broadcasts like those of later generations, it is indeed not suitable to hold large gatherings.
The largest number of people came from the scientific field, accounting for 90% of the total participants.
Among them, almost half of the Nobel laureates from the chemistry community, headed by Ramsey, came to attend.
Hubble, Soddy, Langmuir and other younger generations were also present.
They all have more or less relationships with Li Qiwei.
The goals of the chemical giants are very clear.
That is to embrace physicists, especially top physicists.
Today's chemistry depends on physics.
The theories and techniques of physics play a vital guiding role in chemistry.
For example, crystallography is the best example.
Crystal research is now very popular in the field of chemistry.
In the field of biology, Bateson, Morgan and others who had crossed paths with Li Qiwei were already waiting here.
Physics not only affects chemistry but also deeply affects biology.
Li Qiwei's speech at the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the gene chain hypothesis, profoundly changed the research direction of biology.
Many top biologists have now studied gene chains to a very in-depth level.
Morgan is one of the leaders.
So, biologists are very much looking forward to today whether Bruce will make another surprising statement.
Although general relativity has little to do with biology, Bruce is a well-known scientist.
It is very possible that he had a flash of inspiration and it was a brand new theory.
Maybe it happens to be related to biology.
Biologists and chemists have the same purpose, they are here to pick up leaks.
If you pick it up, you will earn it.
If you can't pick it up, you can still listen to a lecture on general relativity for free.
Why not.
This is what most people really think.
As for questioning the theory of relativity, are you kidding us?
I really regard the chemical equation I wrote as a partial differential equation.
In addition to the traditional three major disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology.
Other subjects are not inferior.
Hilbert, Poincaré, Grossmann and others came to the mathematical world.
The mathematical principles of general relativity make these mathematics masters very excited.
Let’s see who dares to say in the future that current mathematics is too advanced and far from practical application.
Grossman often said: You think mathematics is useless because you are too good at it.
Do you think advanced mathematics is of no use, or is it because you are too good at it?
Why is Bruce able to use such a difficult theory as Riemannian geometry?
Mathematics is the sword of the strong and an excuse for the weak.
Mathematics is the foundation of all subjects!
The math masters present were all in high spirits.
The medical world, like the chemical world, also has several Nobel laureates.
Medical scientists in this era still only study the human body at the system and organ level.
It does not go deep into the cellular and molecular levels.
Therefore, many theories, viewed from the perspective of later generations, are very crude or even wrong.
Among these medical tycoons.
Even the Russian Pavlov came, the one who discovered conditioned reflex.
He came to Europe with a friend and happened to attend this meeting.
Pavlov himself had no interest in physics. He believed that humans and dead matter were different.
Physics cannot explain various human behaviors and activities.
But Bruce's reputation was too great. He was not interested in physics, but he was very interested in Bruce.
Then there is the world of astronomy, which can be said to be vast.
There are more than 200 people from the field of astronomy, all of them high-spirited and impressive.
Because they have already acquiesced that the five major predictions of general relativity are within the grasp of astronomers.
Who dares to disobey!
Hubble, Eddington, and Schwarzschild came together.
The big guys in astronomy have all arrived and are ready to go.
For example, the American astronomer Levitra discovered the period of Cepheids, which provided an effective method for measuring the distance of distant celestial bodies.
Dutch astronomer Kapten co-published the Cape of Good Hope catalog containing the positions of 450,000 stars, and proposed the "two star streams" hypothesis.
It lays a theoretical foundation for confirming the rotation of the Milky Way in the future.
etc.
In later generations, although their fame is not as good as that of Hubble, Hawking, Coboy and others.
But his contribution to astronomy is indelible.
Astronomy and physics are different now.
There are no super authoritative figures like Li Qiwei, Bohr, and Planck.
The results of the astronomy giants are almost the same.
No one can crush anyone.
Because the budding days like those of Kepler and Tycho, where casual discovery of anything was a great achievement, have passed.
No current astronomer has made earth-shattering theories and discoveries.
Everyone does piecemeal work.
You add something, I add something, gradually expanding the knowledge and scope of astronomy.
This is why general relativity drives all astronomers crazy.
Because of this theory, astronomy entered a golden age.
Able to produce results and discoveries that will go down in history.
Only when the pond is big can you raise big fish.
The general theory of relativity has upgraded the entire astronomy.
Finally, there are science-related industries such as geology, physiology, and mineralogy.
But not many people came, mainly just to join in the fun.
The above is the number of people in the field of science and science-related fields.
The remaining 10% are big names in literature, history, and philosophy.
Rather than saying that they came to study general relativity, it would be better to say that they came to study Li Qiwei himself.
For these big guys, people are much more interesting than theory.
Almost all the Nobel Prize winners were present.
For them, this is a very novel experience.
Can enrich their essence core.
Communicating with the world’s leading figures in science may bring unique inspiration to their future literary creations.
Add a touch of rational and cold charm. Several of them were not Nobel laureates in literature, but Crooks introduced them anyway.
They are Britain's Bernard Shaw, France's Romain Rolland, and India's Rabindranath Tagore.
The latter is said to be in high demand for next year's Nobel Prize and is very likely to become the first person in Asia to win the Nobel Prize in literature.
Tagore's family was the ruling family in India with its backing to the British, so.
Li Qiwei had no impression of the previous dozen or so Nobel laureates in literature.
But these three still know a lot.
No matter what era, the Nobel Prize in Literature is the most controversial.
Because literature is difficult to evaluate.
With the results of Wilson and Li Qiwei, normal people can tell at a glance who is the best and who is not the best.
But if both of them wrote a poem, it would be difficult to distinguish objectively.
Sometimes, the publicity effect of public opinion is far greater than the quality of the work itself.
This is the so-called literati's contempt for each other.
The same situation exists in the scientific community, but it is much better because of objectivity.
As for the field of philosophy, the only one Ridgway knew was Russell.
Now the other party is a professor at Cambridge University, and he also came today with his student Wittgenstein.
A blues appeared in Cambridge, and Russell certainly would not miss this opportunity.
He was too embarrassed to squeeze into those orthodox physics conferences.
Soon, under the introduction of Crooks, Li Qiwei came to the entrance of the hall auditorium.
At this moment, he felt calm inside and had a smile on his lips.
Soon, step in!
Even though Li Qiwei was fully mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the atmosphere at the scene.
Looking around, the vast area is full of people.
This auditorium, which can accommodate 2,000 people, seems a bit crowded at the moment.
However, even so, the auditorium was still in order and without any clutter.
The people who can come to the meeting today are at least elites in various fields.
There is no doubt about the quality of the big guys.
However, as soon as Li Qiwei appeared from the door in front of everyone, there was a commotion immediately.
“Oh, God, Bruce has two wives, and they are both so beautiful.”
"Bruce is really envious of others. Even if he succeeds in the scientific field, he didn't expect his love life to be so happy."
"I hate the British system. Why does the law only allow monogamy?"
"."
Crooks also smiled bitterly.
When he was greeted at the door, he was attracted by Li Qiwei and did not notice Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan who were protected in the crowd.
After entering the Royal Society, he heard Li Qiwei introduce his two wives.
Although now China has also implemented the monogamy system.
But when Li Qiwei got married, there was no such rule.
Today Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan were obviously dressed up carefully.
They are here to cheer for Li Qiwei.
At the same time, it represents the image of Asian women.
So they are both wearing traditional Chinese costumes, and every move reflects the beauty of Chinese women.
That is a completely different temperament from Western women.
The two women held Li Qiwei's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and they could immediately let others know that they were husband and wife.
They all had happy smiles on their faces.
I can personally witness my husband’s supreme glory.
Many people present met Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan for the first time.
I was immediately amazed.
They know that China has now entered the civilized world.
So the past discrimination against the Qing Dynasty has faded a bit.
But soon, everyone stopped paying attention.
The big guys here today are not elites in society, and their vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Women are never the most important in their eyes.
That man is the protagonist.
Li Qiwei whispered to the two girls:
"You can sit next to the Chinese exchange group."
The moment he entered the auditorium, he saw an area in the crowd, where there were all Chinese faces.
I guess it was what He Yujie was talking about, an educational inspection team sent from China.
He even saw Mr. Situ communicating with people in the inspection group, and Roosevelt was sitting next to him.
It would be safer to let Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan sit there.
Li San and Tian Qi have been following the two girls silently.
Eagle-like eyes are always paying attention to every move of everyone in the field.
Although the British government is fully prepared for today's meeting.
There are at least dozens of police patrolling outside.
There are also people walking in casual clothes inside the auditorium.
But it’s never wrong to be careful.
Then, Accompanied by Crooks, Li Qiwei slowly walked onto the podium at the front.
He and Crooks had just stood on stage and had not yet spoken.
Boom!
The venue instantly burst into thunderous applause.
Many people were confused.
Even Li Qiwei on the stage was stunned.
“So I have so many fans?”
Only then did everyone realize that the applause came from the astronomers.
Those astronomers are all like chicken blood.
Ridgway's general theory of relativity had a great impact on astronomy.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a mentor to all astronomers present.
Without Liqiwei, without general relativity, astronomy would never have made its mark.
This shows how excited they were when they saw Li Qiwei.
That is the feeling of seeing a benefactor and an angel.
They were not stingy with their applause.
Some people even stood up and applauded.
It was under their leadership that others were embarrassed not to applaud.
Crooks on stage has never been in this situation.
Especially when the other person is an Asian.
To be able to receive such an honor in the UK shows how great his achievements have been.
Talent transcends prejudice of race and nationality.
He sighed in his heart: "Bruce will create a legend."
Li Qiwei was even more passionate. There seemed to be a breath coming out of his chest, and he wanted to shout.
Many of the big guys present are figures who need to be highlighted in the history books of later generations.
Today, they are all their foils.
Li Qiwei is the figure they need to look up to.
No one can describe this feeling.
This kind of pleasure transcends everything in the world.
It is more delicate than power and more explosive than wealth.
Crooks also said several politicians were here today.
But they are very low-key. They come in casual clothes and do not want to disclose their identities.
Li Qiwei didn't care about this.
All people are equal in his eyes, and equality is not worth mentioning.
This day is just the beginning of his declaration to the world.
In the near future, those high-ranking emperors, generals and ministers will be like everyone today, sitting down and listening obediently.
“I control the truth, and I also control life and death.”
