Act 446. expect
Tower of the Rainbow.
The top of the whirlwind clouds is cloudy, and there seems to be thunder brewing, and on the top of the top of the whirling clouds, the president of the Storm Council, Pluto. Alterac looked through the storm at the quiet Rainbow Tower outside, his brow furrowed.
On his desk was the latest edition of Truth, a slightly heavy academic journal that opened to the page of the Newington-Holland equations' revisions to the aether drift experiment.
"The limit of the speed of light, the speed of light does not change, is this true......"
Altranac muttered to himself that he had already reviewed the first draft of the paper, but at that time, Newington had not yet added anything about the speed of light not changing due to changes in the frame of reference, and he was shocked to see it at this time.
Altranac immediately revisited the revised Newington-Holland equations, and he soon deduced the same result along the lines of his paper.
This is unacceptable.
Because if the inference about light obtained by the Newington-Holland equation is correct, then it means that the universality of the laws of classical kinematics is in doubt, and by extension, the tower of the whole system of laws is crumbling.
Not only that, but it will be a catastrophe, the existing magic system will be completely overturned, and people's understanding of the world will once again return to chaos, and it is likely that it will no longer be formed.
This means that all of the mages' existing theories may have holes that cannot be patched.
Alterac sighed and withdrew his gaze.
In the past, in the two dark clouds that permeated the wizarding world, the problem of blackbody radiation was overshadowed by Ludwig. Stein solved, and then discovered the photoelectric effect by Reiner, proposed the wave-particle duality of light, and solved the decades-long discussion about the nature of light.
And in what form this earthquake caused by the Aether Drift Theory will end, Alterac does not know.
"Lord Alterac, are you looking for me?"
The door of the office, Broly. Augustine asked respectfully, with heavy papers floating around him, long hair covering one eye, and looking quite feminine.
"Have you read Newington's latest paper?"
Altranac asked, although the paper was co-authored by Newington and Holland, but in the eyes of most people in the Storm Council, Clark . Holland is still a little immature, so when the two men are mentioned, most of them only mention Newington's name.
"I've just finished reading, Lord Alterac."
Augustin replied, and he walked into the office.
"The conclusions of this paper are truly frightening, and whether or not they are ultimately verified, there is no doubt that they are a huge shock to classical magic, and my concern is that if the speed of light is really the limit of this world, then our exploration really seems to have hit a barrier."
In the past, mages have always felt that as long as they can provide enough energy, they can make the speed faster, even more than the speed of light, but at present, since the speed of light does not change in each frame of reference, this seems to imply that the speed of light is already the limit of the speed of this world, and nothing can exceed the speed of light.
For mages, limit is a not-so-beautiful word.
"yes, and more importantly, we don't seem to find any good way to verify all of this."
Alterac shook his head, there had always been mages who had been focused on how to make matter faster, and they had studied a series of high-speed magic, but they had never been able to make objects faster.
At first, believing that the mana was insufficient, the mages used a huge amount of mana as an energy source and reduced the mass of the target object, but even then, they were far from the speed of light.
According to Newington's conclusion, the speed of light seems to be the limit of the speed of this world, and it seems understandable that the efforts of those mages are difficult to achieve.
But this also raises the problem that no object can reach the speed of light except light, and the mages cannot verify experimentally how the changes will occur when the object reaches the speed of light, and everything can only be calculated on paper, which is difficult for many practical mages to accept.
The contradiction between the theoretical mages and the experimental mages seems to be forever irreconcilable.
"Is light really so special that all the laws of our past will fail in it?"
Augustine said with emotion.
The two dark clouds hanging over the mage's head, a black-body radiation problem and an aether drifting problem, unexpectedly converged on the body of light, the black-body radiation problem explained the nature of light, and the aether drift problem was up to the characteristics of light, light, which has been a thing since the birth of human civilization, seems to have become the most important link in the development of magic and even human beings.
"Reiner. Ian Grey any news there? ”
Oakland asked casually, he didn't have any premonitions, but Reiner had completed too many subversive theories in the past year, and people had to wait to see what kind of opinions he would have on this issue.
"Not yet, Mr. Oakrant, he hasn't published a single paper since he returned from the Elliot Halfplane, but according to some mages who live in the kingdom of Aster, he seems to have been working on something called a magic computer lately, which looks like it's used for computational mathematics from the name, but it actually seems to have more uses."
Augustin replied that he didn't care too much about Reiner, but for such a rising star, Augustin, as the vice president of the Storm Council, the person in charge of recruiting talent would naturally pay more or less attention to Reiner's every move.
"He discovered the wave-particle duality of light, and must have thought about the speed of light, this time in the Elliot half plane with several legendary mages discovered the protons and neutrons inside the atomic nucleus, and at the same time predicted the existence of strong nuclear forces, it seems that he is going deeper into the microcosm."
Elements, atoms, and these particles are mostly the domain of alchemy mages, and from here, it is only natural for Reiner, as a member of the mercury balance, to study these.
"Indeed, when I saw the paper on the internal structure of the atomic nucleus, I even thought that this year's competition for the Hohenheim Gold Cup would have been settled at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately this paper is a multi-person collaboration, and the collaborators are famous legendary mages."
Augustine bowed slightly, his gaze falling on the tall tower standing alone in the distance.
"Reiner. Ian Gray, what kind of disruption will he bring to us? ”
