Chapter 187: A Love Story in Nature
"Hey, it's been a few months! You're about to graduate and defend! What about a good story?" Since entering the high-energy institute, Lu Qiujian has been attracted by those sophisticated and high-end instruments and rich literature, and has postponed the promise to Xia Jia again and again, and she has started a new round of debt collection on this day.
"Then it's okay today, I know almost everything about the situation here!It's time to go back and prepare for the graduation defense!" Lu Qiujian looked at this place with some reluctance, "I'll invite you to dinner in the evening, to thank you for helping me during this time, let's tell this story while eating!"
After putting away the things accumulated during this time, Lu Qiujian and Xia Jia left the high-energy institute and found a restaurant with an elegant environment to enter; after ordering, she didn't speak, just looked at Lu Qiujian with a blank eye.
"The protagonist of this story is also an experimental physicist, and he does similar work to those in the High Energy Institute. Lu Qiujian began to tell the story slowly, "You also know that there are not many people who study physics who are as romantic and interesting as Hawking and Schrödinger; most of them are sullen men who are immersed in their own world and are not very good at expressing their inner world to others. ”
Yes, you read that right; although Hawking's physical condition is not very good, his skills are the first-class among physicists! It is estimated that only a few lovers such as Schrödinger can be more powerful than him.
"The same is true of the protagonist of our story, who falls in love with Gillian, an elegant and beautiful violinist. Lu Qiujian shrugged, "If it comes to doing experiments and calculating the results of physical reactions according to various formulas, he may be able to do it easily, but when it comes to confessing to his crush, he is at a loss!"
"Hehe, is this thing so terrible? Listening to you say this is like having the courage to carry out a hydrogen bomb explosion experiment, but not having the courage to confess!" Xia Jia made an analogy.
"Maybe that's true, no matter how powerful the hydrogen bomb is, the result of the explosion is what he expected, but how the violinist will respond to his confession is as unpredictable as Schrödinger's cat!" Lu Qiujian took a sip of tea. Continuing the story, "What made him even more depressed was that the violinist already had a relationship with someone, the bassoon of their orchestra, and in the physicist's words, by the time I could become a good enough bassoon to challenge his position, the protons of the whole universe would have decayed."
"He's completely in the wrong direction! That violinist doesn't necessarily like him because he plays the bassoon well!" Xia Jia, as a girl, naturally understands the violinist's thoughts better than any physicist.
"Well, I thought so too. Lu Qiujian suddenly thought a little crookedly, the original meaning of bassoon in Italian is "a bundle of firewood", if this violinist likes the man because of the bassoon, wouldn't he fall in love with a piece of firewood? So evil, so evil!
Quickly put aside the bad thoughts in his mind and continued to tell the story, "This physicist pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a way, let's confess that we are not good at it, but we can write a paper! Just write the confession into the paper! So he immediately set off and wrote a paper called "How to Forget Her You Love." ”
In this paper, he first expressed his unforgettable fascination with Gillian in lingering and sympathetic language! This infatuation that was destined to be fruitless made him unable to extricate himself from pain, so he devised an experiment to try to use his own physical theory to make himself forget her!
"Well, isn't it more appropriate to find a psychologist in this case?" Xia Jia really couldn't figure out how to use a weak method to forget a person.
Lu Qiujian put his index finger to his mouth and motioned for her not to interrupt him. He then continued, "He devised an experimental protocol that could theoretically solve unrequited love, and this experiment used the following equipment and materials. ”
"A large generator requires an instantaneous conductivity of more than 20 amps, including 20 amps. Two bundles of large-size copper cables. Connect to the positive and negative poles of the generator separately and control the on/off via the handle, so that you have something to grab when you step barefoot in the tub filled with salt water. ”
"A quantum flip-flop, which works better with an old-fashioned laser dial, and a photomultiplier tube. A camera that detects random photons emitted by a laser source, and a camera that points it at a phone directory with the number of your crush. ”
"Finally, there's a pre-programmed computer that starts the generator under the control of a quantum trigger. But if the camera detects that the name has disappeared from the phone book, it turns off the generator. ”
"If this experiment is really carried out, he will die!" Xia Jia clasped his fingers in both hands, as if he was a little worried about the physicist's fate.
"But theoretically everything is unpredictable from the moment he presses the quantum trigger, and in the process there are millions, even billions, trillions of him who will die. "The radium luminous dial may or may not emit a photon, both possibilities exist, "and if he survives this process, it means that the name disappears from the phone book, Gillian does not exist in this world, and the generator is automatically turned off by the computer program! In this way, he gets a world without Gillian! No more worrying about love!"
"And then, what is the result of this experiment? Has he really gotten rid of his unrequited love for Gillian?" Xia Jia couldn't help but urge when he saw Lu Qiujian stop.
"The result is unexpected!" Lu Qiujian shrugged helplessly again, "He hasn't pressed that quantum switch until today, in the words of this physicist, he can't imagine living in a universe that doesn't love Gillian!"
"Hahahaha!" Xia Jia couldn't help laughing, causing the surrounding customers to look back.
After a long time, she stopped, took out a tissue and wiped the tears from her laughter, and stuck out her tongue apologetically, "I'm sorry, but this physicist is so cute!
"Well, I thought so when I first heard this story!" This sullen man can be said to be romantic in some ways!
"I think I will definitely be able to write a good story on this subject!" Xia Jia seemed to be a little different when he looked at Lu Qiujian now.
"Well, I think so too, wait until you write it and then let my girlfriend draw a comic!" Then Lu Qiujian saw that the light in her eyes dimmed significantly. (To be continued.) )
PS: Guess who this girl is? But let's not soak in this one!
