The Manhattan Zeus Company is busy with a Fifth Avenue TV performance, which is scheduled for Sunday.

On Tuesday, Mr. Li traveled to the Waldorf Hotel at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street to visit an old friend.

The hotel's ballroom was bustling with girls, mostly from the West and South, who were new to the social scene.

A young girl kisses Arthur Compton on the cheek and giggles at Arthur Compton's humorous jokes.

"Honey, go dance." Arthur Compton pulled away the cute and playful girl and stared at Li Kangping who was walking towards him with a smile.

"Arthur, how are you doing?" Li Kangping shakes hands with Arthur Compton.

"I'm fine, you. Lee, I think you need a cocktail. ”

"Why not."

The two drank and chatted, and Arthur Compton smiled: "I have stepped down from my position in St. Louis, and I will take my position in Chicago after Christmas, you see, I am in a state of idleness right now." ”

"Arthur, enjoy this rare long vacation."

"Your signature in the letter is Dr. K.P. Lee, so, Dr. Lee, it only took you two years to complete your entire undergraduate and doctoral studies at Columbia University."

"Let me think about it, it seems like this."

"We should toast to the fastest physics genius in U.S. history to earn a Ph.D." Arthur Compton raised his glass.

Li Kangping responded: "Cheers to the new professor in the physics department at the University of Chicago." ”

"Li, you said in your letter that you opened a 'small company', are you going to quit academia?"

"How could I possibly quit academia? I don't think there is a contradiction between starting a company and academic research, just look at the dozens of Nobel laureates that have been produced, such as physics winners, chemistry winners, medicine winners, many of them have started companies. Of course, these people are basically scientific geniuses, business ...... A nobody. ”

"I can't say that, just look at the founder of the Nobel Prize, who has achieved outstanding achievements in science and business."

"So Arthur, are we talking about academia or business now?"

"Lee, have you read the article published in Nature earlier this year, C.G. Darwin's "My General Views on Quantum"?

C.G. Darwin is the grandson of the great biologist Charles Robert Darwin, who is a gifted, talented, and erudite mathematician and physicist of the young generation in England.

Li Kangping read C.G. Darwin's "My General Views on Quantum", which is a short article.

Not only has I read it, but Li Kangping can also say the core part of this paper with a high degree of restoration: "C.G. Darwin wrote: For a long time, I felt that the fundamental foundation of physics was in a desperate situation. The great positive achievements of quantum theory not only emphasize its value, but also emphasize the essential contradiction of its foothold. These contradictions seem to be emphasized again with each triumph of quantum theory, such as the experiment of space quantization completed by Woodgate and Lee of Columbia University in 1921. ”

"We found that quantum theory is in direct contradiction with the wave theory of light. It is impossible to believe that these troubles cannot be avoided by the theory that there is no strict conservation of energy in such cases if the current science is not full of ideas about the conservation of energy. It would seem that any theory capable of explaining both the photoelectric effect and the phenomenon of interference must include a departure from the ordinary law of conservation of energy in terms of the interaction between radiation and matter......"

In this era, physicists' explanations of basic theories and the output of opinions are very rigorous, to a certain extent, and you may not understand what kind of academic ideas he wants to express.

The words he used were all correct and his grammar was correct, but the sentences combined seemed to be a bunch of confusing content.

The basic theory is related to the development prospect of the whole physics, and no physicist dares to make arbitrary conclusions before obtaining sufficient and credible experimental evidence, and most of them publish articles in open magazines and newspapers in a tactful, implicit, or even ambiguous and ambiguous manner.

C.G. Darwin euphemistically and implicitly exported such an academic view: 1. Quantum theory and the classical wave theory of light can only win one, either the quantum theory is sentenced to death, or the wave theory of light is sentenced to death; 2. The main culprit of this desperate situation is the preservation of the law of conservation.

"As far as I know, this paper by C.G. Darwin was written with the encouragement of Niels Bohr." "Lee, you know, I studied at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge for a while, and I know a little bit about European academia. Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist born in England, rarely wrote an entire article himself, and it was common practice for Niels Bohr to have students polish his essays, or to pass on his ideas to others who would write 'Niels Bohr-style' academic articles. ”

Nils Bohr did come from England, spending a few months in the Cavendish lab before moving to the University of Manchester. At that time, the Department of Physics at the University of Manchester was chaired by Rutherford, and Bohr, with the support of the Rutherford Group, proposed the extremely important "Bohr model" in the history of modern physics.

Bohr's academic contributions to the field of atomic physics are epic, he cleared the field of atomic physics, and now mainly works in quantum physics.

Compton continued: "By the way, I got the latest news that Nils Bohr has won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics and will be going to Stockholm in December to receive the prize. ”

The Nobel Prize is awarded for clearing the field of atomic physics, and Bohr won the Nobel Prize for his "Bohr model".

Li Kangping let out an "oh", and then said, "Really? It is no surprise that Niels Bohr deserved the Nobel Prize for his scholarly contributions. ”

"The great war between the new forces and the old forces has begun." Compton said solemnly, "Actually, this academic war has already begun, and after entering the 20th century, one of the fundamental problems of physics is the question of the nature of light. Physicists around the world have been arguing about this fundamental question for more than a decade. ”

"Arthur, you mean that with the build-up of the 'Niels Bohr's Legion' and the loading of its shells, the war has come to a decisive stage?"

"War is cruel, one group wins, another group will fall."

"Arthur, it looks like we're involved in this 'fundamental question' war that has been going on for more than a decade?"

"Lee, finish your cocktail and go to my room."

Li Kangping drank his wine and followed Compton to the hotel room upstairs.
