Chapter 336 What are the limitations of the Bruce field equation? The origin of the universe! Li Qiwei's shocking declaration!
Facing the general theory of relativity, astronomers finally couldn’t hold back.
This supreme theory in the field of astronomy makes all astronomers deeply loved and at the same time feel a little scared.
Its description and deduction of the universe are so shocking.
Beyond the mechanical astronomical view of the universe.
The universe is not static, but dynamic.
It can be said that the astronomical consensus that has existed for thousands of years has been easily broken by Ridgway's general theory of relativity.
This is why it has such a big impact.
However, no matter how great the theory is, there are always warriors who dare to question it.
Copernicus questioned Ptolemy’s heliocentric theory;
Let astronomy enter a new era.
Now astronomers know that the sun is not the center of the universe, but an ordinary star.
Astronomy, like physics, is constantly developing amid doubts.
Now, as for the general theory of relativity, even if it is so perfect that there are not many people in the world who can make mistakes.
But astronomers still have to think from a deeper perspective.
People admire and respect Bruce's status, but that doesn't stop them from questioning his theories.
After all, Li Qiwei himself came to power by stepping on Newton.
His theory of relativity completely negated Newton's two major theoretical systems: the mechanical system and universal gravitation.
At this moment, Kaptan looked equally excited.
At his age, he would hardly be moved anymore.
But since the day the general theory of relativity was published, he has repeatedly returned to the passionate days of his youth.
Every day there is something new to discuss.
Another major academic goal has emerged in the field of astronomy that needs to be overcome.
Even these goals are ultimate goals.
His heart, which should have been silent, became completely passionate.
"Hello, Professor Bruce, I am Kaptan."
Li Qiwei nodded and smiled: "Hello, Professor Kaptan."
The results of this big man, This laid the foundation for future proof that the Milky Way is rotating.
The discovery of the rotation of the Milky Way has further deepened mankind's understanding of the stars in the universe.
Kaptan was silent for a few seconds, organized his words, and said:
"Professor Levitt just suggested that adding a cosmological constant can curb the expansion of the universe."
"But his and I have exactly the opposite views. I support the expansion of the universe."
< br>“I have studied the Bruce field equation carefully.”
“Although this equation cannot be solved accurately by conventional means.”
“But some trends can also be seen.”
"Professor Bruce, my question is this."
"Assuming that the universe is expanding at this moment, what will its past and future look like."
"This equation does not Give an intuitive explanation.”
“In other words, it is too difficult to evolve these results with the equation.”
“I don’t know what Professor Bruce meant when you proposed the expansion of the universe. How to think about this issue. ”
Wow!
Captain's question shocked all astronomers.
Because this question even involves the origin of the universe.
Isn't this equivalent to if there is a super-dimensional existence that can easily solve the solution of Bruce's equation, then it can see the past and future of the universe.
Although it sounds shocking, it is the truth.
"This question is a bit too difficult. I guess Professor Bruce won't know it."
"The evolution of the universe lasts for more than hundreds of millions of years. It is already very impressive to know that there is an expansion period."
“Professor Kaptan’s requirements are too high, which has exceeded the scope of human power.”
“And the origin of the universe is so mysterious, it involves the field of philosophy.”
Sure enough, when Kaptan raised this question, Russell, Wittgenstein and other philosophers present also looked solemn.
This issue is the most important core topic even in the field of philosophy.
How did the universe come about?
Where will it go?
"God, I don't believe Bruce can really explain this problem."
"If he really came up with a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid he would be the top philosopher."
Wittgenstein was extremely excited at this moment.
He did not expect that the meeting would even discuss the origin of the universe.
These scientists are simply outrageous.
Wittgenstein regarded himself as a unique genius.
But he could only think about the origin of the universe.
It should be said that not only him, but the entire philosophical community can only think about it.
After all, they can neither do experiments nor calculate.
We can only rely on speculation.
This kind of fantasy can perhaps be debated by the same philosophers.
But facing Professor Bruce, it’s a bit hard to do anything.
After all, that man was the man who logically proved the expansion of the universe.
This is a point of view that all philosophers will never be able to come up with in their lifetime.
This is not a one-dimensional thing at all.
Apart from astronomers and philosophers, the most shocked person present was the physicist.
Some of them have actually considered this issue.
But I think it must all be in the explanation of field equations.
Although it cannot be solved now, it will definitely be solved in the future.
However, Kaptein's problem made physicists understand that astronomy and physics are different.
They understand the origin of the universe and go further than physics.
Physics only needs to know that general relativity unifies space-time and matter.
As for specific details.
"You go ahead and solve the equation, and you will know once you solve it."
But astronomers are like: I want the result now, even if I can't solve it.
Planck, Thomson and others understood that Kaptan probably just wanted a prophecy from Bruce.
Or it is a conjecture.
That is, they want to know which solution the universe we live in follows.
Strictly speaking, this is a bit overwhelming.
No matter how incredible Bruce is, no matter how amazing his talent is, he also has his own limitations.
Partial differential equations are not easy to solve.
“This is to ask Bruce to predict a future for astronomy.”
"I kind of understand what Captan is thinking. This old boy is really clever."
"They are squeezing Bruce to death."
"Hahaha"
Everyone laughed.
At this moment, everyone in the Chinese delegation had very strange expressions.
On the one hand, they felt an unparalleled sense of pride because of Li Qiwei.
Chinese people stand at the pinnacle of world science!
Is there anything more exciting than this?
For many years, China has never been so proud.
Anyone who is not cold-blooded has long regarded Li Qiwei as his spiritual idol.
He is not a politician and cannot govern the country.
He is not a military strategist and cannot lead troops to fight.
He is not a writer and cannot write thought-provoking and beautiful articles.
But!
He pursues truth and transcends the world.
He used his knowledge to establish universities and factories. When everyone is shouting empty slogans, he is the only one who is actually doing practical things to improve the country's scientific and technological foundation.
When the warlords fought against each other for territory, he was the only one taking in those poor children and providing them with education.
Such a person with a pure heart is admired by everyone.
And now, he stands alone on the stage, accepting challenges from all the smartest people in the world.
He looked down upon the world with ease.
Even if Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms is reincarnated, I am afraid he will have no choice but to be defeated.
Zhuge Liang fought with the Confucian scholars, while Li Qiwei suppressed the gods.
The people of the Chinese inspection team have reached the extreme level of admiration for Li Qiwei at this moment.
But then, they discovered a sad fact.
Nowadays, Europe has begun to discuss the origin of the universe, but there are still people in China who cling to the Four Books and Five Classics.
This contrast makes these people from China feel like they are a world away.
“God, it feels like we are living in two worlds.”
“Without today’s meeting, I would never have known that the world was like this.”
“The universe has a concrete image in my mind, not just an empty word.”
The head of the delegation sighed inexplicably.
He knew that this mission might not be completed.
After meeting Li Qiwei with his own eyes, he felt the other person's status in the Western world.
How can such a big guy accept domestic conditions?
Furthermore, he had investigated Li Qiwei and knew that he was the right minister of the Ministry of Education in the Qing Dynasty, equivalent to the deputy minister of education.
I am afraid that people may not take the position of Minister of Education of the Republic of China seriously.
Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan looked at Li Qiwei with both happiness and worry.
Their husband is like the natural sun, shining on the world.
Everyone respects him and worships him.
The worry is that from the expressions and reactions of the people around me, I know that this question is difficult to answer.
Even Xiang Lan knows how difficult it is.
Under the guidance of Wang Luyao, she also began to learn scientific knowledge.
Wang Luyao’s reasons are very strong.
"Xianglan, the people you will come into contact with in the future will definitely be big guys in various fields."
"How can you do it if you don't know a little scientific knowledge."
"Even if you don't understand it, you still need to be able to speak a few terms."
"Especially the quantum theory and relativity theory, which we share, we need to be familiar with."
Poor Xianglan, As an adult, you still have to learn from scratch.
But she learned to be very happy. Anything that could make Li Qiwei happy and face-saving could make her happy.
At this moment, Li Qiwei, standing on the stage, became the center of everyone's attention.
Everyone knows that Kaptan's question is too profound.
It has surpassed all previous questions and really brought today's meeting to a climax.
Facing the expectant looks of everyone, Li Qiwei suddenly smiled.
Everyone was stunned and confused.
“I think I might have to be an astronomer.”
"In this case, Professor Kaptan, you won't have to ask me questions in the future."
Ha!
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Li Qiwei’s humor made everyone laugh wildly.
Even Kaptan himself was embarrassed.
Well, although, he does have some thoughts.
“But, God, I am absolutely pure in my approach to science.”
After Li Qiwei and others calmed down, he smiled and said:
“At the 79th British Science At the promotion meeting, I proposed the theory of creation. "
"I personally think that, to a certain extent, it provides a new way of thinking about the origin of human beings."
< br>
"This is also the first time that I have used scientific knowledge to explain the origin of philosophy."
"To be honest, after the creationism was proposed, the Pope sent someone to contact me, hoping to win over I also became a believer."
"I refused directly."
"What I said at that time was: My God is different from the God you believe in."
"My god created humans, but that doesn't mean it can be superior to humans."
Wow!
Everyone in the auditorium was shocked.
They didn’t know why Bruce said that.
After all, Europe and America at this time were still dominated by faith.
But no one criticized him harshly, because Li Qiwei was originally from China.
It is natural that Chinese people do not believe in God.
You can’t bless me with promotion and wealth. Even if I don’t beat you, you still want me to trust you?
But what does this have to do with Kaptan's problem.
Li Qiwei continued: "The purpose of my telling this example is very simple."
"That is, I firmly believe that human beings can understand the world by themselves."
"Even gods are no exception."
"Since I can explain the origin of human beings, then I can explain the origin of the universe."
"Because man can conquer heaven!"
Boom!
At this moment, the auditorium was completely boiling.
Everyone was infected by Li Qiwei's domineering attitude.
Qian Wushi and others were even more excited and excited.
There seemed to be flames jumping in their eyes, which was the fire of desire.
This kind of Li Qiwei is worthy of their unyielding following.
Man can conquer nature, and their career will surely succeed.
Nothing can stop China's rise.
Bohr, Hubble and others were all shocked.
The deeper they know Li Qiwei, the more they can feel the motivation to speak out.
He never thought of stopping, nor was he afraid of the bumps in the road ahead.
Even though science is not the absolute truth, he never gives up.
Li Qiwei's arrogance made these young men tremble.
“There has never been any scientist as domineering as Professor Bruce.”
“The more they know, the more awe and cautious they become.”
“However, Professor Bruce , but has the majestic spirit of the world."
"He firmly believes that human wisdom is the greatest."
"Is there anything more romantic than this in the world?"
All the physicists were shocked.
Even the older generation like Planck is feeling very excited at this moment.
The shock that Li Qiwei just declared to them was soul-stirring.
The saying "man can conquer nature" established the status of a scientist.
Even if there is a Creator, so what.
Humans created the train, but the train is stronger than human beings.
Humans created the telegraph, but the telegraph was faster than humans.
Then the Creator created human beings, why can’t human beings be smarter and wiser than the Creator?
What a vast belief this is!
At this moment, everyone even forgot Li Qiwei’s last sentence.
He wants to explain the origin of the universe!
Captan was sluggish at this moment, he muttered to himself.
“I don’t know what Professor Bruce’s next explanation will be.”
“But I know that history will always remember this moment.”
Bruce, that man, he is going to reveal the origin of the universe!
