158, the partridge flies and the sun is slanting
"Everything around us, the dirt under our feet, the food in our hands, the air we breathe, and ourselves are, in the final analysis, the contribution of this vast universe and countless stars. The world is so complex, yet so simple! Two and a half hours later, Sun Yuanqi ended his speech at Stockholm University.
At this time, there was silence in the audience, and everyone was trying to digest the knowledge they had just heard. The information entropy of this knowledge is so great that their thinking is limited and stagnant, and they are completely unable to determine the truth in a short period of time, so they can only passively accept it: it turns out that in a few minutes of the Big Bang, the first two elements of the periodic table, hydrogen and helium, were synthesized. In the subsequent interstellar evolution, through thermonuclear fusion combustion reactions and neutron capture nuclear reactions, all heavy elements from hydrogen and helium to uranium with atomic number 92 were successively created. As for the future, either the abundance of heavy elements in the entire universe will continue to increase, and the elements will survive forever; Either the nuclei will disintegrate into the particles that make them up, and all the elements previously created by nucleosynthesis will be destroyed, and the elements will die......
Unlike before, Sun Yuanqi will give corresponding verification plans while putting forward wonderful ideas. This time, there was only one conjecture, including speculation about a nuclear reaction in the sun, but he avoided talking about any experiments that might prove his theory. In fact, constructing an experiment to prove the corresponding theory is much like proposing a theory, which is very original and challenging work.
Nevertheless, the audience was overcome by this wonderful theoretical conjecture: this was the first complete theory of the formation, development, and demise of the universe proposed by a scientist after the mythical theory of God's creation. It's a bit appalling, but the theory is very rigorous and convincing. If any part of this idea can be verified, it will be enough to make the researcher famous!
Listeners may even wonder: What is this Dr. Johnson in his head? Why does he always come up with amazing theories that are surprising and thought-provoking? At first, the chemistry professor who translated Sun Yuanqi was applauded, and then the sparse applause sounded in the academic lecture hall, and finally converged into one piece, surging everywhere like a spring tide.
The warm-up moderator reappeared in front of the stage at this time: "Thank you very much Dr. Johnson for your wonderful speech, although I am a devout jealous, but at the moment I am deeply impressed by his brilliant theory, and I have come to believe that the universe is originally just a hot but highly dense point. ā
Sun Yuanqi hurriedly said: "The Big Bang universe theory is just my family's words, and it does not involve any religious beliefs. If there is any offense between the words just now, please forgive me. In fact, I have just recently completed the construction of the outline of this theory of the universe, and the specific details are still to be discussed, and I will continue to refine it for a long time to come. Here, I also hope that you can criticize and suggest it from a rigorous scientific point of view, and we will be grateful! ā
In his heart, in fact, more European and American scientists have joined this research, thus completely embarking on a road of no return. As for myself: China still has so much important work to do, so I don't have to bother with this tinkering work, right?
Criticism and suggestions? All of you here are people with heads and faces, who have just finished listening to the lecture and have not yet figured out the content of the lecture, how dare they show their ignorance and shallowness in front of everyone! So in a peaceful mood, Sun Yuanqi's speech ended smoothly.
Back at his accommodation, a somewhat excited Sun Yuanqi drank some Absolut vodka, which is a world-renowned Swedish wine. Under the stimulation of alcohol, he thought about it and wrote a "flowery" acceptance speech:
"Yu Ben cloth clothes, borrowed from the West, the four bodies are not diligent, the grains are not divided, how can it be called a text? There was no hero at the time, so the shaft became famous. In the ten-room city, there must be someone as smart as someone, and it is not as good as a certain good luck. In November of the 33rd year of Guangxu, Yu traveled from Shanghai to Stockholm. It is also a day, the sky is clear, the wind is smooth, the friends are full, the winning friends are like clouds, and the people who sit up and make noise, the guests are happy. Yu Fei is the treasure tree of the Xie family, the neighbor of the Meng family, languishing like a cow and a horse, cramped like a horse, trembling and panicking, sweating like a pulp, and not knowing what to do......"
After reading it again, I was still a little complacent. Because I was tired from the trip yesterday, I stayed up late to write a speech, and today I was giving a speech and drinking, so I was very sleepy. Seeing that the manuscript was written, he didn't even take off his clothes, plunged into the quilt, slept in the dark, and died.
When I was sleeping soundly, I heard someone knock on the door. At first, he wanted to ignore it, but the person who knocked on the door had a firm belief that he would not give up until he reached his goal, and knocked on it every minute or two, which made Sun Yuan annoyed, so he had to get up angrily and open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw several well-dressed gentlemen standing in the door with solemn faces, and the white daisies on the black tuxedo were very eye-catching. The leader Sun Yuanqi recognized that it was the famous Swedish scientist Arrhenius. After the meeting, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Dr. Johnson, that we've disturbed your rest." It's just that a big thing happened on the spot, and we had to. I hope forgive me! ā
The white chrysanthemum flower expresses mourning, and this kind of meaning is common in the east and west in later generations, and the visitor's expression is like this, which suddenly makes Sun Yuanqi "chuckle" in his heart. The sleepiness that was still a little dazed just now has disappeared without a trace at this moment, and he asked with some fear: "Excuse me, what happened?" ā
When Sun Yuanqi saw the white flower, what did you think of in your heart? He actually thought of his uncle and grandfather Sun Jianai first!
Since the first year or two, the old man's health has not been very good, and he takes leave to recuperate at home every once in a while. The last time I met, although the old man was quite strong, he always gave people a feeling of lack of energy. As the saying goes, there are four unreliable in life - spring cold, autumn warm, old health, and gentleman's pet - the old health is one of them, which fully illustrates a problem: no matter how good the elderly are, if they are a little unwell, it is possible to drive the crane west. The old man is now a year old, how can he not make people think cranky?
"Our honorable King Oscar II, His Majesty, returned to the arms of our Heavenly Father yesterday evening. He is now succeeded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as Gustav V. In view of the fact that we are currently in the period of national mourning, all pleasures and marriages are prohibited throughout the country as a sign of mourning. So I'm sorry to inform you that the 7th Nobel Prize ceremony, scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, has been cancelled. Arrhenius said, and several people bowed to Sun Yuanqi and apologized.
It turned out that it was not news from the country! Sun Yuanqi breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "I am shocked to hear that His Majesty King Oscar II has passed away, and I am very sad, please convey my most sincere greetings to His Majesty King Gustav V, and ask His Majesty the King to mourn and change!" ā
"Thank you, I will convey it by all means!" The men bowed again.
Arrhenius then took a small box from his entourage, and when he opened it, there was a glittering gold medallion lying inside. Then he handed it to Sun Yuanqi: "Dr. Johnson, this is the gold medal awarded to you by the Nobel Prize Selection Committee!" ā
Then he handed over a large book with a leather cover, and when he opened it, it was a delicate certificate of award: in printed font were written the contributions, names and awards of the winners, and at the bottom were the ink blots written by the old king a few days earlier. In the corner of the certificate, there is a check for the bonus.
After presenting the award, Arrhenius and his entourage immediately took their leave and rushed elsewhere to present the Physiology or Medicine Prize to the French scientist Laviren who "discovered the role of the malaria parasite in pathogenesis", the American scientist Michelson who "measured the speed of light" to present the Physics Prize, and the British writer Rudyard Kipling.
After they left, Sun Yuanqi closed the door, sat back on the bed, and played the newly acquired Nobel Gold Medal alone.
The medal weighs about half a pound, is two inches in diameter, and has a lifelike Nobel relief statue on the front, and the scene behind it is somewhat inappropriate: the goddess Isis emerges from the clouds, and the Virgin holds a horn symbolizing wealth and scientific wisdom, and gently lifts the veil of the goddess, revealing her grim countenance; Of course, it is not only the faces that are exposed, but also the conical breasts of the two are not half covered, which makes people have an unobstructed view; At the bottom of the relief, Sun Yuanqi's English rŠJ is carved. This made Sun Yuanqi a little regretful, if it was changed to three words in Chinese, it should be better, right? Sun Yuanqi regretted more than this: he was going to wear a long robe and show off his literary style on the spot, so that the ghosts could see that Chinese dream of profound speech was completely shattered. And this informal award ceremony, like a vigorous love, ushered in a perfunctory and hasty wedding, which is even more unbearable.
However, Sweden's constitution adopted in 1809 clearly limited the power of the monarchy, and since then the power of the monarchy has plummeted. To this day, there is only a little diplomatic power, and attending the Nobel Prize presentation ceremony and awarding the award is one of the few opportunities for the King of Sweden and his queen to show his face. Now that the king is dead and his father has lost even this few opportunities to show his face, what else can you ask people to do?
Fortunately, the prize money of 150,000 Swedish kronor is enough to soothe the temporary unhappiness of the winner, you know, this is equivalent to the salary of a professor in Sweden for 20 years of work. Even if it is converted into silver, there are nearly 60,000 taels.
The matter has been completed here, and with the invitation letters from Denmark, Belgium, Germany, France, Britain and other scientific research institutions, Sun Yuanqi is unwilling to stay in Sweden for a long time, and is ready to travel to European countries in order. Before I had even arrived in Germany, I received an urgent telegram from England: Dr. Yanker Johnson, it is my great pleasure to inform you that you have been awarded the 1907 Copley Medal for your discovery of superconductivity at low temperatures, as judged by the Council of the Royal Society.
The awards ceremony will be held on 18 December at Burling in Piccadilly, London.
Sincerely, Lord Rayleigh, President of the Royal Society
