Act 357. Wave-particle duality
"Light is a wave and a particle."
As soon as Reiner said this, there was a jagged exclamation from the entire conference room.
Most mages thought that Reiner would come up with some earth-shattering theories, or simply end the war between the wave theory and the particle theory, but unexpectedly, he came up with an answer that seemed a little "ridiculous".
Is it both a wave and a particle?
Are you kidding.
Not to mention whether there really is anything in this world that is both a wave and a particle, this answer itself seems to make fun of the debate in the mage world for decades.
Even if you don't insist on whether light is a wave or a particle, the ambiguous answer given by Reiner now is difficult to accept.
"Reiner. Ian Gray, are you serious? ”
Legendary mage Carl. David advocated the particle theory, at first, he saw Reiner's photoelectric effect paper and thought that Reiner was a member of the particle faction, but he did not expect that in just two papers, he betrayed the particle faction and gave such an extremely ridiculous answer.
"Is there really matter in this world, both waves and particles?"
"Now there is, Lord David."
Reiner was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied in a deep voice.
"Hehe, I know that the photoelectric effect is difficult to coexist with interference and diffraction, but isn't our goal to explain two contradictory experimental phenomena with a complete theory, and now, instead of solving the problem, choosing a compromise to avoid the problem is not what a mage should do."
Cal. Davy is just like his practical style, he speaks rampage, without any regard for the feelings of others, before he became a legendary mage, David often quarreled with people, and the result of the quarrel was a test of magic, and the winner was always David, and when he reached the realm of legends, no one dared to quarrel with him anymore.
Rather than using his mouth, Carl. David prefers to reason with his fists.
Of course, his current refutation of Reiner's words is not simply unreasonable, Davy believes that accepting Reiner's statement is the last last resort, which represents the failure and compromise of the mages in exploring this world.
He doesn't really care whether light is a particle or a wave, he cares about how to explain the various properties of light with a complete theory, whether it is a wave or a particle, if it can be done, it means that the mages have the deepest understanding of the nature of light.
And having both characteristics at the same time is quite frustrating.
Just like the problem of blackbody radiation, the law of displacement of thermal radiation and the law of Oakland-David are valid in the field of high and low frequencies respectively, but they will fail in the opposite frequency domain.
As a co-proposer of the Oaklandt-David law, I have personally felt the bitterness of this Karl. Davy would be so refuted by this ambiguous statement.
"If you don't have to, don't add entities, that's what Reiner said, so why add a trait to the light."
Lanchester. His Excellency Stanion also spoke, and his words caused many mages to nod their heads, and while the idea that light has two properties at the same time can solve almost all the problems of light that are currently encountered, it would be too hasty to explain experimental phenomena with a single hypothesis.
"If, as you say, light has two properties at the same time, then what is the essence of light, what does it usually look like, and will it change its own characteristics because of the different things it encounters?"
The urn sound urn is full of anger. Feng. Norbert. Reinhardt asked, he wasn't so aggressive, but the questions he asked were thought-provoking.
Indeed, the existence of matter should be certain, and how can matter change its properties due to different methods of observation, as if light itself has a will, contrary to the phenomenon that mages have been studying for a long time.
"Reiner. Ian Gray, you'd better explain your point of view with the results of the experiment, and if there is an experiment to back it up, then we should accept the ridiculous conclusions. ”
Finally, Herman. Pragues's speech caused the discussion in the room to gradually cease, and the people looked thoughtfully at Reiner, waiting for his proof.
Hall looked at Reiner from afar. Ian Gray, questioned by many legendary mages, can not see a trace of panic on Lenner's face, only calm and confident.
This is much more than Isaris. Lord Alberton's situation was even more dire at that time.
At that time, Isaris. Lord Alberton was also a High Mage, and he disagreed with several other High Mages, so he debated in the High Council, but the difference was that at that time no one could say whether the Three Laws of Kinematics were true or not.
Now, Reiner is facing seven legendary mages, dozens of high-level mages, and hundreds of middle-level mages.
Almost everyone in the room disagrees with his arguments, and anyone in the room can cite examples to refute them.
Can Reiner prove it?
How on earth is he going to prove it?
"In my hypothesis, light is a special kind of substance with the properties of waves and particles, and when light is viewed from different angles, light will have different properties."
Reiner said, and the crowd fell silent.
"When light hits a metal plate, the particle nature causes the light quantum to excite the outermost electrons of the atom to produce an electric current, and when the light passes through a small hole or a double slit, the wave allows it to diffract and interfere, and it is precisely because light has both properties that such a contradictory phenomenon occurs."
Reiner's words made many mages a little uncomfortable, because his statement seemed to be a simple summary, but the actual experimental part was not mentioned at all, and some even thought that Reiner was just dragging his feet.
"The reason why I say this seemingly nonsense is to prepare you mentally in case the theory I am going to talk about next leads to some unfortunate accidents, I must emphasize to you that forget all the worlds you have known before, start from the blank and follow my rhythm to re-recognize the light, otherwise, there is a high probability that unforeseen circumstances will arise, you know what I am talking about."
Looking around the audience, Reiner said calmly and calmly.
His words caused an inexplicable panic among the mid-level mages, because the meaning of Reiner's words was self-evident, and his next display would most likely lead to cognitive collapse!
Will Reiner come up with a subversive theory?
The high-level mages were also a little uneasy, and the atmosphere in the venue at this time was like a hollow valley where mountains and rain were about to come, solemn and silent, as if it only took one spark to completely detonate.
After a pause, Reiner continued.
"Actually, as Lord Lanchester said, there is no need to impose a property on light in order to explain the contradictory phenomena of light in different experiments, so I will say that wave-particle duality is not only a property of light, but a property of microscopic particles, for which I will give experimental proof."
Reiner said unhurriedly, looking directly at the legendary mages, as if the audience was not an academic master, but his own students.
"Right in this room."
