Chapter 411: They all don’t think highly of you, but you are the most promising!
After Li Qiwei returned to the Quantum Institute, he changed his past laziness and began to study the seven formulas left by Ramanujan.
To this end, he has been prepared to spend at least twenty years.
The theory of everything is a theory several orders of magnitude more difficult than the general theory of relativity.
If it weren't for his unbridled imagination during his Ph.D., he found the right framework.
It may take longer.
Of course, the above are just possibilities, and they may still be impossible to overcome in the end.
The ultimate end of physics, the edge of truth, is not so easy to touch.
Just as Li Qiwei was setting new goals and working hard towards them, the verification of the wave-particle duality of light also reached an important stage.
In real history, Compton actually discovered the Compton Effect accidentally.
At that time, after he published the paper, he did not think this experiment was very important.
Because he did not think that it could be explained by wave-particle duality.
Later, Sommerfeld's student Debye immediately realized its importance after reading the paper.
He perfectly explained the principle of the Compton effect using the wave-particle duality of light.
It immediately caused a sensation in the physics community.
But Debye's main job is chemistry, and his side job is physics.
The most important achievement of this big man is the theoretical analysis of the properties of dipole moments.
He had no right to argue with Compton and seemed unconcerned.
That's why Compton won the 1927 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Because the Nobel Prize is never awarded to controversial results.
This dispute not only refers to the right or wrong of the results themselves, but also the issue of the ownership of the results.
But Debye also turned around and won the 1936 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The boss is so willful.
Although Debye is a big boss in the field of chemistry, his classmate, another student of Professor Sommerfeld, is even more powerful in the chemistry world.
That is the famous Pauling.
If Lavoisier, who discovered the law of conservation of mass, is called the "Father of Modern Chemistry", he can be regarded as the Newton of chemistry.
So who is the Einstein of chemistry?
That's right, it's Pauling.
Because he ended modern chemistry.
In addition to Debye, Pauling also studied under Bohr and Schrödinger.
So he was the first person to introduce quantum mechanics into chemistry.
He used quantum mechanics to explain the nature of chemical bonds and proposed concepts such as hybrid orbital theory, resonance theory, and electronegativity.
And won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Since then, the depth of chemistry has been raised to a higher level, and it is no longer a appendage of physics.
But in the later years, there was actually no clear boundary between studying chemistry and studying physics.
They are all at the quantum level, but the angle of selection is different.
Therefore, if there can be another person as famous as Pauling in the field of chemistry.
Then he must not be a chemist, but directly a physicist.
In addition to Pauling's breakthrough achievements in the field of chemistry, he also studied mineralogy, anesthesiology, evolution, medicine, etc.
He even came close to discovering the double helix structure of DNA.
Of course, Pauling is still just a freshman at Oregon State University in the United States.
And his 35-year-old senior brother Debye is already a professor at the University of Göttingen in Germany.
The Compton Effect starts and ends like this.
However, due to the existence of Li Qiwei in this life, the wave-particle duality of light has long been spread throughout the physics community.
Although there are still many people who don't believe it, there are many people who are willing to verify it.
There will no longer be Compton's case of careless neglect.
Many people want to become famous like Millikan when he verified the photoelectric effect.
France, in a villa.
De Broglie's brother, Maurice de Broglie, the sixth Duke of the De Broglie family, is conducting experiments in his private laboratory.
After Morris graduated with a doctorate from Langevin, he did not join the work and directly set up his own laboratory to study X-rays.
There is no way, the Duke is interested in science, and all power and women stand aside.
If De Broglie didn't go to school, he would come to his brother's laboratory and do some tricks.
Like Ridgway, de Broglie was a lover of theoretical physics and had absolutely no interest in experiments.
The reason why he came to the laboratory was forced by his elder brother.
After all, he was able to enter the path of physics by relying on the content brought to him by his elder brother at the first blues conference.
Therefore, the relationship between the brothers is very good.
At this time, De Broglie smiled and joked:
"Dear Duke, you have been studying X-rays for several years, but you still have no results."
"So far, there have been four Physics Nobel Prizes for X-ray-related results."
"Even if you don't win the Nobel Prize, there shouldn't be any problem publishing an article in Nature."
Morris was assembling the equipment. Faced with his brother's ridicule, Morris said confidently without raising his head:
"Please call me Dr. de Broglie, thank you."
In the eyes of the Duke, the title of doctor is much more important than the title of duke.
"Humph, the Nobel Prize is nothing."
"I am now verifying the wave-particle duality of light."
“After my last discussion with Professor Langevin, I already have some ideas.”
"Once the verification is successful, then I will be the one to end the century-old glory war. That is an honor that is not worthy of the Nobel Prize."
Maurice's confidence made De Broglie laugh in awe.
He knew his eldest brother very well, and his talent in the field of science was beyond praise.
Sometimes he felt that such a good instrument would be a waste in the hands of his elder brother.
"Doctor, I believe you will be able to succeed."
"I hope you can bring my name with you then."
"After all, I have helped you a lot."
Morris was very happy and waved his hand.
"It's easy to say, I will give you the status of second author when the time comes."
Germany, University of Göttingen.
A man from Sakura Country is concentrating on his experiments.
He is none other than Yoshio Nishina.
After the war, under the arrangement of Nagaoka Hantaro, he went to Europe for further study.
In real history, Yoshio Nishina studied at the University of Cambridge in England, the University of Göttingen in Germany, and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.
While he was at the University of Copenhagen, he worked at the Bohr Institute.
There he met Swedish physicist Oscar Klein.
This Klein is not the same Klein who came up with the "Klein bottle".
The "Klein bottle" was proposed by the German mathematician Felix Klein and is a mathematical concept.
Yoshio Nishina and Klein collaborated and published the "Klein-Nishina" formula on the Compton effect.
Explains the scattering angle of photons after they collide with electrons.
This is also Yoshio Nishina’s greatest achievement in the academic field.
Compton himself, according to Ridgway's classification, is only a T4-ordinary physicist.
Yoshio Nishina can become the physics boss of Sakura Country just by solving a key problem of the Compton effect.
In particular, it can be seen that the gap between East and West in the field of science was huge at that time.
Now, Yoshio Nishina’s first stop is Germany.
After arriving in Europe, he understood why this was the center of science. Because there are too many big guys here.
The University of Göttingen where he is located often invites some big names in the scientific world to give lectures here.
It can be described as an eye-opener for Nishina Yoshio.
At the same time, he could often hear the word "Professor Bruce" from these big guys.
At this moment, he realized that the man who was like a god in Asia was still the absolute pinnacle in Europe.
A paper of only 2 pages immediately turned the physics world upside down.
Yoshio Nishina knew that there are currently two physics groups at the University of Göttingen, which are simultaneously studying experimental verification of the wave-particle duality of light.
Due to insufficient accumulation, he currently has no idea and can only follow and learn slowly.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted him.
"Hey Nishina, please don't be in a daze while doing experiments."
Yoshio Nishina came to his senses and apologized quickly:
"Sorry, Professor Debye, I just got distracted."
Debye shook his head slightly.
At first, he was very optimistic about this boy from Sakura Country, who had a flexible mind and an open mind to learn.
However, after getting in touch with him, I found that he was too scientifically aggressive and gloomy, as if he was always thinking about gaining and surpassing something.
Of course there's nothing wrong with this, it's just that Debye doesn't like it personally.
Physicists from all over the world, like Morris and the Göttingen University research team, are gearing up to prove the wave-particle duality of light.
Of course, for top guys like Rutherford, there's no such thing as going off in person.
Because the theory has been proven by Professor Bruce, all that's left is verification experiments.
What the big guys are pursuing are original experiments. Experiments force theories, rather than theories guiding experiments.
At the same time, a piece of gossip suddenly spread from Cavendish.
"Shocked! Professor Bruce made another prediction."
"Compton and Wu Youxun of the University of Chicago are very likely to verify the wave-particle duality of light."
As soon as the news came out, it instantly caused a sensation in the physics community.
Rutherford trained people one by one in the laboratory.
"Which little bastard spread the word? Stand up for me."
"You don't even admit it, right?"
"Well, starting from tomorrow, everyone must leave the laboratory one hour later."
The students looked sad, while Rutherford smiled proudly.
Poor Director Lu, this is the most ruthless method he can think of to exploit graduate students.
Most people were cautious about the news.
After all, with Professor Bruce's status, there is no need to say such things.
For him, it doesn't matter who makes it, it just adds to his theory.
But no matter what, Compton and Wu Youxun are famous.
Wu Youxun was not bad, after all, he was the individual gold medal winner in the first Physics Olympiad.
But his fame is mainly among the student circles.
Basically, the proud students of all universities regard him as the object of transcendence.
In the eyes of real physicists, young people still have a long way to go.
As for Compton, he is completely nobody.
Even his eldest brother, Professor Carl, is not well-known in academic circles, let alone his younger brother, Compton.
Therefore, when everyone knew that Professor Bruce was optimistic about these two people, it seemed incredible.
Not many people think highly of them.
"Professor Bruce may be disappointed this time."
"Bohr and Qian's Fifth Division are great because they chose Professor Bruce as their mentor."
"Famous teachers give birth to great disciples, it's natural to be awesome."
"But Compton and Wu Youxun seem to be doing research independently."
"Professor Millikan did not become their mentor for various reasons."
"Hey, these days, without a good mentor, it's really difficult to achieve results."
"I don't think either of them can make it."
There are even people with ulterior motives who want to take this opportunity to slander Wu Youxun and Huaxia.
"Haha, no matter how good Wu Youxun is, he is only good at exams."
"The experimental questions he did in the Olympiad were just repetitions of previous achievements."
"What is needed now to verify the wave-particle duality of light is original ability."
"A person's ability to study for exams does not mean that he or she has strong scientific research ability."
"And with China's current foundation, it is impossible to cultivate such talents."
But many people objected.
"What about Yu Yin from China? Isn't his achievement original?"
"Haha, isn't Yu Yin also Professor Bruce's doctor?"
Both sides argued endlessly.
Leonard, a German physicist and winner of the 1905 Nobel Prize in Physics, even published articles publicly.
He said that the emergence of Professor Bruce in China was just an accident, and it was impossible for a local genius to be born there.
Leonard promoted so-called "German physics" and promoted racism in science.
For a time, Leonard's remarks gained many fans, such as German physicist Stark.
In real history, Leonard crazily criticized Einstein, while Stark criticized Heisenberg.
At this moment, Wu Youxun and Compton, who were at the center of the storm, turned a deaf ear to the comments from the outside world.
Both of them were still completely immersed in the experiment.
Department of Physics, University of Chicago, USA.
The big news in the laboratory recently is undoubtedly the new Chinese international student.
The other party has persisted for more than two months, struggling until 12 o'clock every night, and even staying up all night for several nights.
This level of effort almost frightens the other students in the lab.
In this era, there are no labor laws in the United States, otherwise someone might have to report it.
"Are all Chinese people so scary?"
"If everyone is like Wu, how can China be so backward in the field of science."
"I feel like Professor Bruce brought out their bloody nature."
"Haven't you noticed that all the Chinese students who come to study in the United States treat Professor Bruce as a god?"
"Almost all students have been benefited by Professor Bruce."
"Awesome, really awesome."
"Even if Wu can't do the experiment, I still admire him."
"With this kind of spirit, nothing will go wrong."
Compton listened to everyone's discussion and smiled slightly.
He has long been impressed by Wu Youxun's diligence.
Genius is not scary, but if you are both talented and hardworking, it is a bit scary.
It can create a feeling of despair.
"Wu, I really look forward to the day when our results will be published."
"They don't think highly of you, but you are the most promising."
Wu Youxun raised his head, showing his white teeth.
"Hey."
