A few minutes later, Li Kangping appeared in front of Michaelson.

"Lee, the first time I met you, you were a rookie at Columbia. The second time I saw you, you were a participant in the APS Annual Conference. Today, I see you for the third time, and you are the 'Father of Television', Dr. Lee. All this happened in just two years, in the amazing country of the United States. Michelson said with emotion, and he added: "Now, let's not talk about TV, let's talk about your "About Light Quantum", and your "Blackbody Radiation and Light Quanta." ”

"Mr. Michelson, I'd be happy to talk to you about these academic issues." Li Kangping said with a humble attitude.

"Actually, I just found out your 'Black-Body Radiation and Quantum of Light', and I found out that this paper was published in February 1921, and given the publication cycle, that is, when you first came to the United States--- probably when you first met me, you finished writing it? Of course, you're a physics genius who spans many fields, including theoretical physics, experimental physics, and even the world of invention, and it's not surprising that you published in Physical Review before you graduated from your undergraduate degree. Michelson looked at "About Light Quantum", "Blackbody Radiation and Light Quantum" on the table, and then stared at Li Kangping with blazing eyes, and said: "There is no doubt that you support the quantum theory of light, am I wrong?" ”

"Yes, I'm pretty sure I support the quantum theory of light." Li Kangping said firmly.

"If you're just the 'Father of Television' or the Father of Weird Gadgets, then I don't care about anything you say, and I won't ask you to come here. But you are the initiator of the space quantization experiment, the electron diffraction experiment, and in terms of these two experiments, they are very successful, and they are impeccable at the experimental level, so I value your academic attitude. Lee, what I want to tell you is that I'm not going to let "About Light Quantum" be published. As for "Blackbody Radiation and Light Quanta", it has already been published, and I can't do anything about it. ”

"Mr. Michelson, I can explain it, I can explain clearly 'About the Quantum of Light' and the whole theory of the quantum of light."

"Lee, you don't need to explain."

The atmosphere was suddenly solemn, and Michelson did not discuss the academic details of the quantum theory of light or the wave theory of light with Li Kangping at all.

Michelson, the only American recipient so far, called Li Kangping here and issued a notice to Li Kangping: "About the Quantum of Light" could not be published in Physical Review.

In fact, we all know that there are other physics journals in the United States, and Europe --- the center of physics, and there are even more famous physics journals there.

The controversy over the basic problems of the basic theories of physics continues to this day, and it is no longer possible to completely resolve the dispute with one or a few papers.

The editor-in-chief of Lopis is right when it comes to the basic problems of basic theory, in addition to solving the academic problems that push physics into a corner, we also have to consider the tastes of certain people.

It seems like a dead end.

So why did physics make a breakthrough, develop rapidly in the twenties and thirties, and dominate the planet after World War II?

Because this is an inevitable historical trend.

Li Kangping muttered: "This year's total solar eclipse observations in Australia have come out, and this result is more accurate than in 1919. ”

"So what? Lee, what point do you want to express? ”

"Mr. Michelson, have you forgotten your oath in 1920?"

"Oh, you untouchable young man, you want me, poor old fellow, to eat glass!"

“……”

Li Kangping left the APS president's office unpleasantly, and he immediately entered the office of the editor-in-chief of Lofes and told the editor-in-chief about his conversation with Michelson.

"Since Mr. Michelson said so, then Dr. Li, your paper cannot be published for the time being." The editor-in-chief of Lophes expressed regret.

On the way back to the Chenbian Street apartment from Columbia University, Li Kangping felt that this matter was a bit strange, where did so many coincidences come from in life? Why did this happen to me?

Of course, even if the paper "On the Quantum of Light" is published, Michelson's academic beliefs will not waver, and Michelson's taste will remain the same.

Therefore, Arthur Compton's paper is extremely important, this paper is based on experimental evidence, and the experiment of the Compton effect is the most powerful proof of the quantum theory of light.

Li Kangping wrote another letter to Arthur Compton, writing the truth about what happened to him today, and giving some advice to Arthur Compton.

The first rain of winter in New York poured coldly, and the trees made the winter rain sway like a prisoner.

The $3,600 black Muswell car--- which is Mr. Lee's new car, is on its way to Jersey City.

Li Kangping sat in the back seat, and it was his full-time driver He Yaohui who drove the car.

He Yaohui was originally a worker of Hera Mahjong Company, he was the first batch of workers in the mahjong factory, he could drive, and was more clever, so he was promoted by Li Kangping to be the president's full-time driver.

Jersey City is across the Hudson River from New York City, and cars quickly reach North Jersey City, a 60-acre industrial park.

Li Kangping looked out the car window, large and small factories crisscrossed the industrial park, because of the rain, there were few people outside.

The car was parked in front of a factory, and Theodore stood outside the door, waiting.

He Yaohui got out of the car first, he held up his umbrella, pulled the back door of the car, and asked Li Kangping to get out of the car.

"I see a café in the park, Ah Hui, you have a cup of coffee, and then come and pick me up." After that, Li Kangping and Theodore entered the factory.

This industrial park belongs to RCA and is one of the R&D and production sites of RCA.

Alex stayed with a group of engineers at the camera booth in New York, and Theodore took the rest of Zeus Lab's engineers to the screening booth in Jersey City.

The Zeus Labs team is testing on RCA's site, and RCA's technicians are fully involved in the TV project.

"Dr. Lee, we did the initial test, and we received the TV footage from New York here. Now, please review with Mr. Freeman. Theo said as he walked along, and then arrived at the projector with Li Kangping.

"Mr. Freeman, are you alright?" Li Kangping shakes hands with Michael Freeman.

Michael Freeman responded, "I'm fine, you." Next, let's take a look at Mr. New York. ”

The television projection is activated, and an image of a man's face appears on the screen.

Theodore explained, "Dr. Lee, Mr. Freeman, the man in the picture is Mario from Zeus Labs, and this is a live broadcast, and we did it across cities to transmit live TV footage. ”
