Chapter 129 Academic Discussion
Li Kangping tore open the package of a $100 cigarette and handed Walt Disney a cigarette, and he brought a cigarette himself.
Walt Disney struck a match and lit his and Lee Kangping's cigarettes.
"So, Walter, you met painting and film in Kansas City?" Li Kangping asked.
"I went to a school in Kansas City, where painting classes were set up. My favorite thing is the drawing class, but I always go against the wishes of the painting teacher. The teacher gave us an assignment and asked us to draw a pot of flowers, and I drew the flowers as faces and leaves as arms. Then I was scolded by the teacher. Walt Disney smiled mischievously, as if he had regained his innocence, saying, "When I was in high school, I started drawing comics, and my manuscript was accepted by a comic book club, and I got fifteen dollars for the manuscript. From then on, I firmly believed that I had a talent for the art of painting. ”
"After watching Chaplin's films, I fell in love with movies. Painting and film are my favorites. I was very busy in high school, and I worked several part-time jobs, delivering newspapers, delivering milk, drawing comics, and so on. A month before I graduated from high school, I finally saved enough money to buy an old camera and take pictures of my girlfriend. ”
"I didn't have the money to go to college because I bought a camera. Even if I didn't buy a camera, I couldn't afford to go to college. I didn't take an art course in college, and in the field of art, I guess I was self-taught. Of course, my friends at Kansas Advertising taught me a lot of art knowledge and skills, and for me, that agency was my university. ”
Walt Disney, who is not yet 22 years old, recounts his journey.
In general, Walt Disney's family was not poor and not rich.
In Li Kangping's view, the most valuable asset of Walt Disney Studios is Walt Disney himself.
As an investor, Li Kangping has the right to know and master all of Walt Disney's experience.
Roy Disney never showed up.
Walt Disney said that Roy was a man with a strong sense of responsibility.
But Roy didn't keep his promise to bring Dr. Lee a beautiful young dance partner.
Dr. Lee spent a wonderful night in room 205 with the Spanish girl he had just met.
The next morning, Li Kangping returned to the hotel at the foot of Beverly Hills, and then the hotel car drove him and Jennifer to Pasadena.
"You spent the night outside last night." Jennifer pouted.
"Didn't I tell you, last night the Disney brothers invited me to a ball in the film industry."
"Where you spend the night is your freedom, and I have no right to interfere. I received a call from the headquarters in New York last night that I had something to attend to, and of course, it's not too late to tell you. ”
Jennifer reported on the business at the New York headquarters, and Li Kangping gave instructions in the car.
California's climate is warm in winter and cool in summer. Many of Caltech's events are held outdoors, with students performing Shakespeare's plays on the open-air stage and students competing on the track and field.
Professor Robert Milligan received Li Kangping and said: "I have visited your laboratory at Columbia University more than once, and I remember the one in 1921, when I was very sure in your laboratory that your space quantization experiment could not succeed. Two months later, however, you succeeded, and this great experiment is now known as the Woodgate-Lee Experiment. ”
"Lee, you are not a member of Woodgate's lab right now, but Professor Woodgate still claims that you are his closest academic partner. So, I'm going to show you around my lab, and here we are, this is my lab. ”
Li Kangping entered the Milligan Laboratory, and based on the current level of equipment, the hardware configuration of the Milligan Laboratory can be called luxurious.
It's just that no one is experimenting in the lab.
"It's a coincidence that they're all in trouble today." Milligan explained.
Milligan stood in front of the quiet lab equipment and spoke about his team's current experimental projects.
Nothing new, photoelectric experiments.
Milligan has been doing optoelectronic experiments all his life. He was nominated for the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in optoelectronic experiments.
"Professor, have you read Arthur Compton's paper, which he recently published in Physical Review?" Li Kangping asked.
Milligan said, "Of course I've seen it, I've seen it a long time ago, have you forgotten that I was one of the participants in the debate between Arthur Compton and Duane at Columbia University. ”
"Sorry, I almost forgot!" Li Kangping said embarrassedly.
Milligan carefully observed Li Kangping's complexion, and after a long time, he asked, "Young man, you were overexcited last night, right?" ”
"Huh." Li Kangping smiled and said, "Professor, I mean, what do you think of Arthur Compton's paper on X-ray scattering experiments?" ”
"It's all been published, what else can I say?" Milligan said noncommittally.
Immediately, Milligan added: "You invited Mr. Sommerfeld to the laboratories of the University of Chicago and Harvard, and Mr. Sommerfeld sent Mr. Arthur Compton's paper to Mr. Einstein and Mr. Bohr -- this happened when Mr. Sommerfeld was still in the United States, which shows that Mr. Sommerfeld attaches great importance to Arthur Compton's experiments, and he does not want to delay a week or two of time, and he can't wait for European physicists to understand the conclusions of Arthur Compton's experiments." ”
Sommerfeld's visit to the laboratories of the University of Chicago and Harvard University was a public act, and many in the American academic community knew about it.
However, Sommerfeld's sending of Arthur Compton's unpublished paper manuscript to Einstein and Bohr was a private act, and only a few people such as Li Kangping knew about it.
How could Milligan know about this?
Could it be that there is an inner ghost?
Of course, it doesn't matter, Arthur Compton's paper is public, and whether there is an internal ghost or not does not affect the overall situation.
Li Kangping was more concerned with Milligan's attitude towards the quantum theory of light and Arthur Compton's experiments.
After all, there is a good chance that Milligan will become the second U.S. nominee recipient in October.
"Since you mentioned Arthur Compton's paper, and you have an extraordinary friendship with Arthur Compton, not to mention the fact that Arthur Compton cited your "Quantum Theory of X-ray Scattering by Light Elements", let's talk about "The Quantum Theory of X-ray Scattering by Light Elements", so let's talk about "The Quantum Theory of X-rays Scattered by Light Elements." In Milligan's view, Lee Kangping and Arthur Compton were in the same group.
The latest issue of Physical Review happened to be available in the laboratory, so Milligan and Li Kangping launched an academic discussion on the article "Quantum Theory of X-ray Scattering by Light Elements".
