Chapter Eighty-Three: An Epic Event

The Regensburg Congress Building is not high, only three floors of the building is hidden in the flower grove, the style is beautiful, the carved beams and paintings, and the surrounding scenery, although not high, but each floor is very wide and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

In the solemn atmosphere of the auditorium on the first floor, at this time, there are many guests, these people look very ordinary, some of them are wearing clothes with patches, and some of them are untidy and have withered faces.

But this does not prevent respect for each other, because all of them are leaders in scientific research, and all of them are the hope of the future of mankind.

Thousands of scientists in physics, chemistry, medicine, astronomy, geography, biology, electromagnetism, and practical application technology are gathered together, and these scientists are the backbone of the entire human science, and all of them are the treasures of all countries in the world.

Therefore, Regensburg paid special attention to the safety of scientists, and used an entire battalion of armed forces to protect the security, and some top scientists even chose to have bodyguards to protect them until the day they left Germany.

German scientists account for a large proportion, is one-third of the world's scientists, it can be said that Germany is a big country in scientific research, but unfortunately most of the scientists are Jews, historically expelled by Nazi Germany, the scientists were driven to the United States, otherwise, how could the United States rise in science and technology, Germany's scientific research strength has also been lost, even the famous Gögentine School, because of the departure of Hilbert and others, so that this school of mathematics that has been inherited for hundreds of years has disappeared on the land of Germany.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Regensburg Science Conference was officially held, and all the scientists arrived, nearly 10,000 scientists accounted for 80 percent of the world's research workers, and the remaining 20 percent who did not come either had urgent matters, or the country was poor, and the information was not available.

Most of these countries are African and Asian countries, China was influenced by Gu Weijun and Cai Yuanpei, and invited a lot of people, and the rest of the countries in Asia and Africa only Japan and India came, although there were relatively few people coming, but they also sent representatives. As for Africa, it is all colonies, not considered. In Asia, only three independent and backward countries in Asia, Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Iran, have not arrived.

Raman et al., a leading figure in the Indian physics community (winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930), attended the conference as representatives of the Indian scientific community.

China is in a period of civil strife at this time, and just passed the feudal society, at this time there are few talents in the scientific community, but there are many heavyweights, such as the famous Chinese geologist Li Siguang, Hou Debang (the founder of the modern chemical industry, famous in the world), and Wu Youxun (a pioneer in the Chinese physics community, who helped Compton win the Nobel Prize, and the Nobel Prize should have his share), Xiong Qinglai (a pioneer in the Chinese mathematics community and the founder of the Department of Mathematics of Nanjing University), Ye Qisun (his students include Wang Ganchang, Zhao Jiuzhang, Qian Sanqiang, Deng Jiaxian, 23 winners of the Meritorious Service Medal of Two Bombs and One Medal, 19 of which are his students), Hu Gangfu (a master of Chinese physics, who made the School of Science of Zhejiang University one of the best colleges in the world at that time), Chen Zhen (a modern biologist, he first compiled the textbook of "Biology" in middle school), Mao Yisheng (a famous bridge expert in modern times).

The twenties and thirties of the 20th century was an era of scientific and technological blowouts, masters gathered, and in the entire history of human civilization, there was no era in which so many scientists were born like this golden twenty years.

Now, they are gathered in Regensburg, and it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming, a hundred schools of thought are contending, and there are many talents.

Everyone sat in their seats, the neat and solemn venue fell silent, and the conference officially began.

Regensburg University Regensburg Regenschein Regensburg Regenschein was the first to speak, this world-famous educator, one of the 48 educators in world history, many people know, he put his hand on the podium, not afraid of the eyes of nearly 10,000 people in the audience and said slowly: "The evolutionary history of human beings is the evolutionary history of thought and technology. Magellan's circumnavigation of the earth proved that the earth is round, representing the brilliance of science that dispelled the clouds of ignorance and brought the idea of civilization. Later, the improvement of science and technology and the advancement of geographical knowledge made it possible to sail in the ocean, and with the compass and multi-masted and fast ships from China, we ushered in the Age of Discovery, allowing our European wealth to surpass that of Asia for the first time, thus opening a new era. The first industrial revolution made machines replace manual labor, closely strengthened the ties between the world, changed the face of the world, and Britain, which was the first to complete the industrial revolution, became the world hegemon, and the people lived a good life. The second industrial revolution opened up a more advanced world, and the development of electricity connected the world as a whole, changing the way of life between people, and making transportation more convenient. It can be said that science and technology have changed the living conditions of the entire human society and made human life better, so what will it be in the third industrial revolution? Where will it appear? Is it human genetic engineering? Is it a material structure? Is it space development? Or is it the microcosm? These are the future research directions of all of you here, for the third industrial revolution, I and you are very yearning, so, for the better life of mankind, for our beautiful home, let's work together, therefore, we established the Regensburg Science Conference, held every three years, aiming to let scientists all over the world discuss together, research together, and promote development. Thank you, that's all I have to say. ”

Wagenshein's speech was very level, and tens of thousands of applause followed him off the podium.

After he finished speaking, Planck was followed by the central figure of the scientific community, Planck is not the most capable and talented scientist, there are at least 100 people in the world who are better and more serious than him in scientific research, but Planck is still the central figure in the world's physics community and even a scientific community, he is erudite, proficient in various musical instruments, knows astronomy and mathematics, is friends and teachers and students with many masters of the previous generation, his family is very happy and free, Einstein, Hahn, Meitner was a frequent visitor to his home, and he selflessly shared his scholarship and knowledge, and dealt with disputes between scientists fairly, which won the respect of all scientists, and was the father of quantum mechanics, thus opening a new era of science and triggering a scientific revolution.

Sixty-four-year-old Planck was still in good spirits and said on stage: "I am very optimistic about the future of physics, many physicists and even my teachers have told me that everything in this science has been studied, and there are only some unimportant gaps that need to be filled. However, physics is a profound discipline, there is little practical application in real life, there are few job opportunities, and some students graduate, or even can only go to work as miners and salesmen, which is unfair to our physics students, so I call for physics to be widely used in real life and become a new industry, this burden falls on us, and we must make physics apply in real life. ”

Planck's words were finished, and the audience burst into applause again, but Planck said one more word before stepping down: "For quantum mechanics, like Einstein's thought, I believe that quantum motion has its fixed definition and meaning, has cause and effect, and everything in the world has a definition." ”

At this moment, there was an uproar below, and a person in the seat below stood up and said, "What Professor Born said is right, there is a chaotic mechanism in quantum, and there is uncertainty. ”

Pauli (1945 or Nobel Prize in Physics), a student of Sommerfeld and an assistant to the famous German physicist Bohn, was rigorous and erudite in his studies, and although he was mean in life and spoke sharply, this did not affect his position in the minds of his contemporaries physicists, Pauli remained one of the brightest stars in the night sky in the most glorious era of the history of physics, in which many geniuses rose together.

Einstein in the hall also stood up, confronted Pauli, and said angrily: "Any object in the world can be described by mathematics, any event can be determined by physics, as long as we know the history of development and all the laws of physics in the universe, master all variables, and be able to observe all particles, then we can even predict the future and become prophets, and cause must have effect, God does not roll dice!" ”

Some people could understand their arguments, and some people couldn't, but they exchanged heads and ears, and the venue suddenly buzzed.

"Alright, alright, the truth has time for you to debate." Lorenz, a Dutch scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1902 and is proficient in many foreign languages and human geography, invited Planck off the stage as the moderator of the meeting, quieted the crowd, and then presided over the opening ceremony.

Hitler in the audience was amused, and the argument between the two camps could be said to be getting bigger and bigger, and even Planck was involved.

The physics community of this conference is divided into three camps, not by country, but by thought, in short, the main debate is whether there is uncertainty in quantum motion and whether there is a probability problem in the microscopic world.

One faction is neutral, and they think that it is not clear yet, so it is better to do experiments honestly and speak with facts.

One is the Copenhagen School, the Copenhagen School was founded by the Dane Bohr, who is the Nobel Prize in Physics this year (1922), and is an authoritative figure in the physics field and has a profound impact on the development of physics.

The Copenhagen School believes that particles have uncertainty relations and uncertainty principles, and that between quanta, there is a chaotic mechanism, and some quanta are not calculable.

On the other hand, Albert Einstein, Schrödinger, and de Broglie (a top French physicist who later won the Nobel Prize in Physics), believed that everything in the universe is computable and measurable, including quantum, that there must be a cause and an effect, that what kind of behavior leads to what kind of effect, and that the slogan is: Is the moon only existed when you saw him?

They believe that everything quantum has a certain definition, as well as a historical trajectory.

The theory of Einstein's school will lead to a very terrifying result, if in the future advanced world, there is no chaotic mechanism, everything between the quantum has been determined, then if you can master all the physical laws in the universe, and can observe and record the laws of particle motion in the microscopic world, and use a large amount of data to perform a large number of calculations (if it is the future unlimited computer is invincible), then through cause and effect, you can know everything that happened in ancient times and in the future, more powerful than the prophets, and avoid eviland thus become an omnipotent God.

It also leads to another fact, that a person's life is doomed, no matter how much it changes, no matter how wonderful it is, it is only like this. Yes, from the perspective of the macrocosm, human beings are indeed like a small ant, and the entire human society can only be active on the earth for thousands of years, multiplying from generation to generation, birth, old age, sickness and death, but that's it.

People can only enjoy life in a limited life, contribute to society, enjoy happiness with their families, and death is inevitable, so everyone's life is predestined, who can not die?

The two factions have been arguing for a long time about whether there is a chaotic mechanism in the quantum, one is that Bohr discovered a new theory, and the other is that Einstein proposed a new idea.

However, the debate between these two schools of thought is a benign debate, which promotes each other and makes a great contribution to the perfection of quantum mechanics.
