Chapter 49: Kratos on the Sacred Mount of Olympus
In the lecture hall of the industrial room, Wang Yi is lecturing, and the people below are both young people in their early twenties and middle-aged people in their forties and fifties. There were Qing people and foreigners, but they all had one identity - great business scholars, although their positions were different.
Because of the verification test of electromagnetic waves, Wang Yi gained a huge reputation in the world, but then, he caused a huge controversy in the world with a paper - "Phlogiston in Physics - Ether".
Today is the day when Wang Yi will publish his paper in the industrial room, and the whole venue is quiet. And when this topic was written on the blackboard, it was like water being thrown into boiling oil, and the discussion exploded.
Wang Yi didn't speak, just smiled from the podium, and only after everyone had quieted down, did he continue: "My reality is very simple, because in people's minds, the ether is regarded as a frame of reference for absolute stillness. Then we can make such a setting that the direction of the earth's aetheric motion, that is, when we move towards the light source, the speed of light we measure should be greater than the speed of light that does not move relative to the light source, that is, the speed of light measured in the vertical direction of motion. Wang Yi explained. So since the speed of light is different relative to the earth in different directions, the difference in the path of light reaching our eyes is also different, so if the ether is zài, we will see interference fringes. ”
In fact, what Wang Yi did was the famous "failure" of later generations, Michelson-Morey.
He spoke slowly, but everyone was sweating. He is like a demon who wants to seduce all people to fall with him. Shen Yazhi and Tong Qianjia were also at the scene, although they couldn't understand what Wang Yi was talking about, but Wang Yi's eloquent expression still unconsciously imprinted into the hearts of the two girls.
"Finally, I'm sorry to tell you that I didn't see any interference fringes in the experiment, and the speed of light is the same in any direction. So I came to the conclusion that there is no zài in the ether! ”
This was the golden age of classical physics, and physicists thought that they had solved all their physics questions, and they even thought that they should switch to other fields of research. And when Wang Yi, the chief engineer of the industrial laboratory, known to Europeans as the physicist of the Oriental Newton, threw such a bomb, they seemed to see the entire classical physics edifice crumbling in their eyes.
Strange to say, Wang Yi verified the existence of electromagnetic waves like an angel, and thus built the last layer of roof tiles for the edifice of classical physics, and now he exudes his demonic nature, and through guò denies the existence of the ether, he collapses the entire classical physics house in an instant.
But at this time, he added his second magic code, the last straw that broke the camel's back! …… Maybe it's more appropriate to say about mountains.
"Now announce my second reality!" Before everyone could recover from the shock, Wang Yi began his new excitement again, which was an unexpected announcement.
"We know that an object appears white because it reflects light waves of all frequencies. Conversely, if an object appears black, it absorbs light waves of all frequencies. So here I have to mention a concept, boldbody! A black body is an object that absorbs all of the radiation. For example, a hollow sphere is painted with radiation-absorbing paint on the inside, and a small hole is made in the outer wall. When a beam of light enters the hole, the light is completely absorbed, and the hole appears to be absolutely black, which is the black body. ”
Wang Yi paused, and then said: "Before talking about the real yàn, I will show you two things, this is a thermal radiometer, this is a Roland concave grating, through them I can accurately determine the thermal radiation energy distribution curve. ”
"I started from classical thermodynamics, assumed that blackbody radiation was emitted by molecules that fit Maxwell's rate distribution, and then through guò's precise deduction, I came up with the law of radiation energy distribution."
Wang Yi wrote his own formula (Venn distribution formula) on the blackboard.
"Later, I did the measurement and found that the results matched my formula well. However, there is a problem in this, and I think you have also discovered that radiation is an electromagnetic wave, a kind of fluctuation. And I used a classical particle method to analyze it, which seems to be a bit of a contradiction. So I wondered if the temperature of the black body was not high enough. So then I started to verify my formula, and sure enough, the problem came. When I heated the blackbody to a high temperature of more than 1,000 K, I was measuring it, but I found a very strange phenomenon. When it comes to measuring curves in the short-wave range, my formula agrees very well. However, in the long-wave range, the real yàn result deviated from the formula, and later I found that in the long-wave range, the energy density is proportional to the absolute temperature. So I tried to modify it, and then I came up with this formula. ”
Wang Yi wrote a new formula on the blackboard (the Rayleigh-Kings formula).
"But at this time, a new problem arose, because it was obviously an act of tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall. The first formula applies in the shortwave range, while the second formula does not, but the exact opposite is true in the longwave range. It's like I have two sets of clothes, one of which fits but the pants are too long. And the other set is pants that are suitable, but the clothes are too small. So I had an idea, can I mix these two outfits and choose a set of clothes that fit? ”
Everyone listened curiously to Wang Yi's next story.
"The easiest way I can think of to mix two outfits together is interpolation in math, and at one point, I succeeded! I compared the number jù and found that all the numbers jù were in good agreement whether it was in short wave or long wave. It stands to reason that I should be happy, but I just can't be happy. Because I know that there must be a big secret hidden behind such a formula, but I only know what it is, and I don't know why. What's going on! ”
It was really ridiculous, and the atmosphere in the classroom was relaxed, and everyone laughed.
Wang Yi suddenly became serious at this time, and the atmosphere in the classroom was tense again, and said: "I know that there is a crucial thing hidden in the formula, which is related to the foundation of the entire thermodynamics and electromagnetism, he is like a storm, and he will come eventually." ”
Everyone began to hold their breath and wait for the final judgment of classical physics!
"After a while, I started to organize my thoughts. I found that if I deduce the law of radiation from the perspective of Boltzmann's moving particles, I get the first formula. And using Maxwell's electromagnetic radiation, the result is the second formula. After all the attempts failed, I tried to look at the problem from the perspective of Boltzmann, so I introduced entropy and chance. After some time of hard work, I found that it was not enough to introduce the theory of molecular motion, and that in order for my strange formula to be true when dealing with the relationship between entropy and probability, it was necessary to have an assumption - to assume that energy is emitted and absorbed, not continuously, but in one piece! Just like the money we use when we buy things, he is all one by one, but the units are different, or yuan, or angle, or cent, and I call this smallest part quantum! ”
The moment these words came out, the entire church fell into great chaos, because Wang Yi's views were rebellious, and it could even be said that they were contrary to the views of all physicists in history. In this era, continuity is the most important foundation of mathematically derived physics, and at the same time the fundamental foundation of calculus. Wang Yi's point of view can be said to be a cutting of classical physics from the roots.
Wang Yi then began to read his new physics Bible, but to proponents of classical physics, it was more like a satanic manifesto. The word quantum appeared in the world more than 20 years in advance, and Wang Yi knew that he would definitely not have smooth sailing, and he was destined to have twists and turns along the way.
And he never felt so shameless as he does today, and the efforts of generations were taken by himself, including Planck, Rayleigh, Thomson, Einstein, de Broglie, and Schrödinger! The starry names are all admired in the history of mankind. Although their contributions to mankind are rarely remembered, their dedication and fearlessness in scientific exploration, their yearning and pursuit of truth and origin are far higher than those of all the butchers in the political and military fields of their time. They are the driving force of historical progress, not those vested interests who have occupied the burial ground of their comrades-in-arms and only know how to deceive their own country and people, and even use knives.
But even so, even if he becomes the most disgusting type of person, Wang Yi will not hesitate to do it! For the sake of China, for the sake of the Northeast, and in order to drag the entire Chinese nation out of the historical whirlpool of blood and shame, Wang Yi must make the Great Shang a benchmark in the world, and make the industrial real room become the sacred mountain of Olympus in ancient Greek mythology, and he Wang Yi must become his favorite politician and army leader, and become Zeus! Although it looks more like ...... Kratos!
As long as the great merchants are erected in the northeast of China and their prestige spreads far and wide, it will be like a shining magnet that will attract Chinese students to devote themselves to the cause of science and the construction of the motherland. And as soon as he is king, he will be like an example, inspiring his followers to follow in his footsteps.
Looking back at the humiliation suffered in China's modern history, a group of people gave too many reasons that were out of tune.
Backward government, backward system, backward military...... There are piles of backwardness, but in the eyes of Wang Yi, a medical student, according to his understanding of the human brain and psychology, the problem is not those boring things, but just the problem of people - all people, all Chinese in an era!
Wang Yi could use the weapons and ammunition on the Il-76 to wipe out all the Manchu nobles in the entire capital, but what was the point of this for the entire Chinese nation?
The true meaning of the revolution is not to kill anyone, but to change everyone's thinking and brain.
People remain the same, and there is no solution to China's dilemma!
