Chapter 122: Duality
Subtitle of this chapter: It's all back in time, don't you mix it up with quantum physics? (Author's note: The twenties were the foundation period of quantum physics)

Just as Mrs. Connor and Major General Connor, who looked eager, and Major General Connor, who looked suspicious, were about to come forward to inquire, the hostess, who saw that it was getting late, greeted him: "My friends, the time is almost up. Dinner will be ready soon, so please go back to your room and take a break. Then come to the living room for a pre-dinner bar. ”
Even though our Master Yuan is very proud of his identity as a Seris, he has to admit that he is still a foreigner in terms of drinking.
Zu Qianqiu, the professional drunkard in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", talked about the famous wines from all over the world and the wine vessels that match them, which are indeed one set after another.
The banquet scene in "Dream of Red Mansions" is also elegantly written and extravagant, and some people will really restore the dishes in it in the future.
However, the Seris people don't have to drink several different drinks at a meal like foreigners.
About half an hour before the formal Western-style meal, that's the time for aperitif.
The wine served at the main meal is also divided into a basin, soup, side basin, main course, dairy products and desserts, which means that it is possible to drink four or five different kinds of wine when sitting down for a meal, and the glass used for each wine is different, that is, the cup has to be changed four or five times.
After eating, everyone has to drink an after-dinner drink.
In fact, a hundred years later, Western food has also been greatly simplified, and except in very special cases, there are hardly such people. But in 1921 it was different, and our Master Yuan had to follow the local customs.
To put it bluntly, if he hadn't had 16 points of constitution, or had crossed over because of alcohol poisoning like a hundred years later, he really wouldn't have been able to even do it to a high-level Chinese.
In fact, it is really troublesome to be a high-class Chinese. In order to have a meal, Yuan Yanqian had to go back to the room to change into an evening dress. You must know that counting the pajamas, he has already changed three sets of clothes this day, and the evening dress is the fourth.
He went back to his room and took a shower, changed into a full tuxedo that had just been ironed by the servant, a silk waistband around his waist (a substitute for a waistcoat), a white pocket towel in his breast pocket (an essential part of a formal dress), and a black bow tie around his neck (a bow tie for evening dresses should only be black).
Barton's servants not only ironed his clothes, but also polished his shoes. These shoes are polished so brightly that they can be used as mirrors directly.
After putting on his clothes and shoes, he waxed his hair, sprayed it with a little cologne, and finally took the Hollans watch.
He peeked into the coat mirror...... Oh, this guy is so spirited!
Yuan Yan nodded with full (self) meaning (love), but sighed in her heart, it's not that I don't want to be the successor of communism and the gravedigger of capitalism, it's really fate...... And this broken system makes people. Now I make myself like a ......
"Cowherd?"
"Master Ball, stop making trouble! I'm about it, I've just talked about wave-particle duality, but when I think about it, de Broglie doesn't seem to have put forward the material wave hypothesis yet. Why don't you 'pick up a pickup'? ”
"Host, do you think about this now? This system tells you the good news that the matter wave assumption is not a big problem. Because some people have already deduced the quantum theory of light, but they did not formally publish the summary formula in 1923, as de Broglie did. So ......"
"Master Ball, do you mean there will be ...... on this timeline Roar, that's good news. But you have good news and bad news, right? ”
"Host, are you getting more experienced now? Yes, the matter wave hypothesis can give you a damn thing, but you can't cover any of the following theories: the Bose-Einstein distribution, the Heisenberg uncertainty theory, the Dirac quantum field theory, Schrödinger's immortal cat......"
"Master ball, go on. I'll tell you the good news, even if I can figure it out with my 16 intelligence (14 base + 2 cards), I don't want to bother with that right now! ”
MASTER YUAN, WHO WAS RELIEVED, PUT ON A CIGAR MATCH AND THE HELLO KITTY MASK, AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE LIVING ROOM DOWNSTAIRS......
"Mr. Yuan is here!"
Seeing him come in, the eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on Yuan Yanqi, who was also enthusiastically discussing the "miracle" that happened in the carriage this morning. I don't know how many times they looked at the bib.
Right now, they're all holding back their stomachs.
Mrs. Virginia Connor, who was the most curious, was the first to speak: "Mr. Yuan, can you tell us about it...... Well, how does that duality explain Ghost? ”
"Ma'am, please allow me to correct it, it's ave-particle Duality." Our Master Yuan corrected with a gentlemanly demeanor, "Of course you can." But ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute. ”
He pointed to the wine bottle on the table and said, "How can you come to George's villa without drinking a glass of California wine?" ”
You know, Barton's maternal grandfather was not only the second elected mayor of Los Angeles, but also the largest brewer in California.
"Hahaha......" Major Patton also felt a light on his face when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, if you like to drink my family's wine, then I will give you ten ...... every year in the future." No, a hundred boxes. ”
"Oh, then you're welcome."
Yuan Yanqian took the Vermouth (spiced wine, mostly used for aperitif) poured for him by the waiter. He smiled and raised his glass to him and the people in the hall, "For the generous man and the beautiful hostess......"
"To lead us to victory over the Germans, Major General Connor and his honorable wife......"
"For Major and Mrs. Eisenhower, who opened a new chapter in their lives......"
"And for my lovely female secretary......"
“CHEERS!”
Hearing this, everyone raised their glasses and said, "CHEERS!" ”
Miss Moman frowned and drank a sip of beauty, and then said in a loud voice, "Boss, your lovely female secretary can't wait to hear your physics class." ”
"Hahaha......" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this cute witticism.
Master Yuan also laughed a few times, and then asked solemnly, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what the photoelectric effect is?" ”
"Mr. Yuan, I think I know......" Major General Connor, who frowned from beginning to end and looked at Yuan Yanqian with a scrutinizing gaze, was the first to reply: "This is an important and miraculous phenomenon in physics, under the irradiation of light, the electrons inside some substances will be excited by photons to form an electric current, that is, photogenerated electricity......"
At the beginning of the 20th century, all the officers of Western countries were intellectuals, and those who could become major generals must be high-ranking intellectuals.
"In 1905, Mr. Einstein successfully explained the ......photoelectric effect by proposing the quantum hypothesis of light, i.e., that light has both wave and particle properties" (note 1)
At the beginning of the twentieth century, intellectuals in Western countries did not want to learn about quantum physics and the theory of relativity, so they should not call themselves intellectuals.
Major Patton followed suit: "By the way, the newspaper says that Mr. Einstein will visit Washington in early April. ”
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein was an academic superstar in the West, and it was only natural that he was in the spotlight.

Note 1: Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his assumption of light quanta. However, because some physicists disputed this, it was not released to the public until 1922.
