Chapter 269: The Arrogant British Academia (2)
Burton also has a reason for commenting this.
Theory is one thing, practice is another. Gasoline combustion is also mechanically efficient for cars to run, not to mention nuclear energy.
In fact, mankind's use of nuclear energy has just begun, and it has not yet reached the point of entering the house.
Burton felt the least likely thing to achieve was to use silicon carbide semiconductors to engrave color centers, which captured every high-speed β particle, electrons, that C14 spilled out, and then generated powerful electrical energy.
Engraving the color center of an electron on a crystal is easier said than it is to be manipulated, and this technique has surpassed the current human understanding.
Everyone knows what Xia Guo's physical level is.
In terms of basic physics academics, Xia still has an important gap with the West. To put it bluntly, there are twenty to thirty years.
Burton said to his students: "There must be something wrong with this paper, and it is not in line with the law of physical development that a paper has appeared in the physics community of a backward country that surpasses the world's advanced physics level." ”
Burton even joked to his students: "If Xia Guo's physics were world-leading, he would not still be importing Russian aircraft engines, and the microscopic physics world would no longer do nothing!"
In the end, Burton made up his mind about the physical level of Xia Guo, which was at the middle level of the world.
The students immediately stated, "We should protest to the journal Nature, it is unfair to the physics community that they publish their papers so hastily." ”
Another student speculated: "Now that the journal Nature has changed its taste, it can't insist on academic fairness and justice, and I doubt that they have accepted financial assistance from Pangu Technology, so they will publish this paper." ”
Burton thought for a while and said, "You mean that the symbolic significance of this paper of Pangu Technology is greater than the practical significance, and they do academic to serve their own business?"
That's what it means. ”
Burton did not rule out this possibility, he had just checked the background of Pangu Technology and found that this was a technology company in Xia Kingdom, not a physics research institution in Xia Kingdom, and had never set foot in physics.
What made Burton most angry was that two of the people in the paper were students, students of the Pangu Academy of Science and Technology, what the hell is the Pangu Academy of Basic Sciences, it is a graduate school that is not even officially recognized by Xia Guo, let alone accredited and filed in the international teaching system. People in such copycat schools can put their names in Nature magazine, isn't it a mess!
Burton, a traditional Englishman and a gentleman, called a few of his friends at Oxford University and Imperial College to see what their physics schools thought and if any of the experimental groups had repeated the papers that proved Pangu Technology.
The end result is that there are few flaws in theory and logic, but there are only doubts in operation and technology.
Lynn of Imperial College replied to Burton: "Radioactive materials have energy that humans can use, which is an attempt by physics, but how to use it, how to use it, how much to use it, and how difficult it is to operate the technology is the key to the problem." ”
Lynn said that he was not angry, "Pangu Technology has drawn a big pie for humanity - look, a battery smaller than a button can provide more than three years of power for a mobile phone, which is different from saying that humans can one day move to an extraterrestrial galaxy." ”
"Academic liars!" Lynn defined Pangu Technology, "Our laboratory capacity is limited, and we can't repeat Pangu Technology's experiments. ”
Lynn was a little sour when he said this, "Can you repeat Pangu Technology's experiment?"
"I can't repeat myself, so my students want to give some feedback to Nature," Burton said. ”
"We intend to do the same. Lynn said, "Unless we can see a sample of Pangu Technology's battery, he's a liar!"
The British National Institute of Physical Research is also concerned about this problem, if the C14 micronuclear battery is really invented, its significance is comparable to the significance of the appearance of the steam engine. The impact on the whole world is enormous.
As a leading country in physics in the world, the UK will never be able to face up to Xia's research and application in the field of fundamental physics.
As the "referee" of global physics, Britain cannot tolerate a paper that has not been tested repeatedly and has a huge impact on the future of mankind to confuse the eyes and minds of the academic community.
The British National Institute of Physical Research quickly solicited the opinions of the physics institutes of major universities, and expressed their support for the publication of their paper in the journal Nature to express their protest, which is actually urging Pangu Technology to give more detailed experimental data.
However, the British National Institute of Physical Research is a national institution, and it is difficult to express his position in person, although he is in spite of the changes.
There is still a certain distance between the controversy in the academic world and the general public, and after the publication of the paper in Nature, it only caused controversy in the British academic community, and has not yet attracted the attention of the Western media, but now the matter is big.
Physics laboratories at Imperial College, Oxford, Manchester Polytechnic, the University of Southampton, University College London and many others jointly submitted protest emails to Nature.
Imperial College London: "We can't repeat the Pangu Technology experiment and doubt the authenticity of the experiment. ”
Oxford: "Theoretically correct is not necessarily correct in the paper, and we can now submit a paper on human cosmic travel, which is logically correct but unrealizable!"
University College London: "Hypothetical theoretical research should not be confused with practical theoretical research, and I asked the journal Nature to retract the paper. ”
The pressure of Nature came, and the editorial department of the general journal inquired in detail about the situation of the physics editorial office.
In addition, the Times, the Daily Mail, Agence France-Presse, Reuters, BBC and many other newspapers and media have paid attention to the incident.
The Times: The Great Earthquake in the Energy Industry! Pangu Technology Releases Research Paper on Micronuclear Batteries.
Daily Mail: Papers Rashomon, Imperial College and Oxford say they can't repeat the Pangu tech experiment.
BBC: This is Pangu Technology's marketing method, using theoretically correct but fundamentally impossible experimental techniques to publish papers in order to achieve its own marketing goals.
AFP: Pangu Technology is preparing for full entry into the European market, but its paper has been rejected by the entire British academic community.
The news spread all over Europe like a fierce fire, and major European physics research institutions and media have turned their attention to Nature.
European netizens also think it is incredible, micronuclear battery?
