51. The fulcrum on the Arcane Throne
Don't look at Seamus's grades in the history of magic class all by copying notes, but in fact, some of the history related to fire, he still knows it very well, because it is very explosive. In the past, in order to solve the problem of physical fitness, he also worked theory.
So how could he not know that the famous phlogiston said, and the opportunity to show his knowledge in front of the literary girls, which made Mr. Seamus very happy, knowing that he had only had the opportunity to be despised by the "literary girls" of Hogwarts before.
If Hermione, who is strictly like Professor McGonagall, and Medusa Pansy with the poisonous tongue, are also literary girls.
So the confident Seamus began to talk about it: "Proponents of phlogiston theory believe that fire is a material entity composed of countless small and lively particles. The particles of this fire can either combine with other elements to form compounds, or they can exist in a free manner.
A large number of free fire particles gather together to form a distinct flame, which diffuses into the atmosphere to give people the feeling of heat, and the element of fire composed of such fire particles is "phlogiston".
But phlogiston theory has a fatal weakness, that is, it believes that combustion is a process of decomposition, and fails to reasonably explain the results of quantitative real yĆ n, which in fact is as early as 1......"
As early as 1756, Lomonosov proved that phlogiston was wrong with the thermal practice, and then in 1777, Lavoisier expounded the oxidation theory of combustion in his Introduction to Combustion, and in 1789 systematically expounded the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions with his Fundamental Discourse on Chemistry, thus completely overturning the phlogiston theory.
Sadly, however, he was guillotined in 1794 for the French Revolution. Am I right? Tapassa looked at Seamus calmly.
Seamus was very happy at first, because it could be seen that Tapasa also had a rich understanding of these, which made Seamus feel that they seemed to have more in common, but Seamus, who suddenly thought of something, suddenly looked at Tabassa like a ghost.
In 1794! In 1794!
If Thiphania hadn't lied before, then they had been here long before 1689, so how did Tabasa know about the French Revolution, which took place more than a hundred years ago?
"Mr. Seamus, do you think that none of us have worked in our own way except Louise?" Tabasa looked at Seamus with some reproach: "Actually, except for Shesta, who has no magic power, is fixed next to Louise, at other times, several of us will take turns to go to other worlds to find your whereabouts, but it's a pity. For 300 years we have gained nothing. ā
"So you've ever been back to that world?"
"Yes, and because of this, we can intuitively see the change of the law. Mr. Seamo, you know what? In fact, whether it is the four-element theory, or the phlogiston theory, or the heliocentric theory, they are all truths that describe the operation of the world, at least once were.
When we were in Atlantis, the Four Elements Theory was the foundation of all magic, and when we moved Toristine here, the Four Elements Theory was still the basis for the use of magic because of the inertia of consciousness.
But when I returned to that world, I realized how incredible it was that the chemical elements suddenly took the place of the four elements. Could it be that the wise men have been wrong for thousands of years?
I couldn't help but think so, and I argued in detail the theoretical points of the time, but I have to admit that these new theories were correct at the time.
However, when I returned to Torlistine, and reappeared there a hundred years later, I found that the truths that had been tested had become fallacies that had been swept into the heaps of old papers.
New theories are proposed and proven, then falsified again, repeated over and over again. Only those of us who come here once in a while and can ignore time can see the mystery of this.
And the person who stayed in the original world, unless his strength was absolutely strong, he would not be able to perceive the change that God had made the law change.
They can only think that the sages of the past have put forward an interesting argument, which once dominated the theoretical world because of the backwardness of technical means, but has finally been proved wrong by later generations in a more intelligent way. ā
[That's how it is! ć
Mr. Seamus suddenly understood, no wonder the professor had converted earth into brass so easily in the previous alchemy class. The laws here are different from the laws of the original world, no, it should be said that the laws of the original world have changed and become more complex, and they remain the same here.
However, what surprised Mr. Seamus even more was to come, because Tabasha gave an example of a character that convinced Seamus of these theories completely.
It was a figure of a great magician, but at the same time a great scientist. Sounds contradictory, doesn't it? But that's not the most controversial part.
What is most criticized by all Muggles and wizards, or incomprehensible, is that this great man in the eyes of the world actually became a devout believer in his old age!
Isaac? Sir Isaac Newton, President of the Royal Society, a famous British physicist, an encyclopedic "all-rounder". No biography or history book about him would say that he was actually a magician, or rather an alchemist!
"The Last Great Sage" is an honorary title bestowed upon him by the wizarding world, as a way to show that his outstanding contributions are unsurpassed by posterity!
But what is incomprehensible to both Muggles and mages is that in Newton's later years, he actually "believed" in God. Sir Isaac Newton even publicly declared at one point: "His whole life is a testament to the existence of God." ā
For this reason, both the scientific community of Muggles and the wizarding world of wizards caused an uproar.
In the eyes of Muggles, Newton was a brilliant natural scientist; In the eyes of magicians, Newton was a powerful sorcerer who stood in the "realm of the sages", and such a figure was born to be a heretic imprisoned in the Inquisition, and should be a mortal enemy of God. How can we prove the existence of God?
But it is easy to understand if God is such a being, and God influences the world in such a way.
What better way to illustrate one than to become a god himself, to prove the existence of God?
If you want to prove that those gods cannot be observed, the best way to become a member of the gods is to go out of the world and observe, right?
The phrase "all my life is to prove the existence of God" is not so much to tell the world that I am a believer in a certain life, but to use malicious methods and deliberately misleading words and deeds to implicitly declare to the world that I want to become a god.
As for how do you prove yourself right to the world after becoming a god?
The answer, of course, is: why proof?
Now that you've discovered the truth, why share it with those stupid mortals? Looking down on the foolishness of the common people from high above is the pleasure that a noble god should enjoy every day.
And he also succeeded in using his small fulcrum to pry the earth, and after he became a god, the laws of the world changed dramatically.
In Tabasha's words: "Arcane, or science, and magic are beginning to diverge!" ā
PS1: The title of this chapter is Neet Squid's Big Old Book
PS2: There are probably six or seven chapters left in this volume, and then I am a little hesitant to go back to Hogwarts or go directly to the next world. And then about the choice of the next world, do you have any good ideas? Except for games, private games are not played. What I like privately is Akuya's world and the demon king of the part-time job.,My brother wants to go to Class E for three years to save the teacher.ć
