Chapter 138: Journey of Glory (4)
After Hans's defeat in World War II on the Blue Star, as the defeated side, he was deprived of the right to arm himself, so the top military scientists were coaxed out by the rice country and the woolly bear.
However, as one of the earliest industrialized countries and one of the centers of Europa science and technology, Hans still has good scientific literacy and a very high academic level, and Wang Yinan received a warm welcome at Imperial College London, the capital of Hans.
Unlike the Europa Center for Nuclear Research, scientists here are not interested in more mathematical and philosophical fields, but rather in high-temperature superconductivity and room-temperature superconducting materials made with self-cooling composites.
Wang Yinan also gave his favorite, focusing on the lattice frequency theory, of course, high-temperature superconductivity and molecular machines, which made the rigorous Hans scientists like a treasure, you know, the lattice frequency is the bible of materials science, the artifact of new material research and development, for the Hansi country with a long history of industrialization for hundreds of years, it is not an exaggeration to see the sword of the sky and the dragon slayer.
This time, the media that broadcast live this time was not only Huaguo TV, but also all the major TV stations in Hans China, as well as all the well-known TV stations in Europa, and even Al Jazeera TV from the Arab world, all of which were broadcast live on every word spoken by Wang Yinan, and every line written by Wang Yinan on the whiteboard was regarded as a revelation to the blue star and was repeatedly studied.
As for the exchange after the lecture, it was even more lively, about physics, about chemistry, about mathematics, and the reporters were most concerned about Wang Yinan's personal problems, "I heard that Professor Wang Yinan's girlfriend is a famous movie actor in China",
"I heard that Professor Wang has also acted in movies", this kind of problem is what everyone is most concerned about, so much so that Wang Yinan had to invite Zhou Hui to the stage and sprinkle a wave of dog food on the melon-eating masses of Lanxing, "a good pair of wall people".
According to the original plan, after the academic lectures at Imperial College London, Wang Yinan had no other arrangements, he was going to have a good walk with Zhou Hui in Murihei, and after a two-day rest, he rushed to Stockholm to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, Nobel Prize Week is a week-long scientific carnival, and the current Nobel laureates, as well as previous Nobel laureates, are obliged to hold a series of public lectures.
Not to mention the high scientific literacy of the people of Europa, especially in Northern Europe, the week of December every year will be the best time for the masters of science to convey their views to the general public. Einstein to Witten.
During this time, walking down the streets of Scandinavia, it is not surprising that from time to time you will hear EPRPardox, the strings of the universe, and so on, which people do not understand, but also think of them.
Therefore, when the Nobel Prize Committee found out that Wang Yi's boys' shoes were actually stopped immediately after Mu Li Hei rested for two days, what kind of business, we took a huge risk and gave you two double yolk eggs, and didn't come to work early, Professor Wang, you still want to live in Mu Li Hei's two-person world, what do you want?
So on December 8th and 9th, Wang Yinan added two more lectures to his schedule, but fortunately, considering that Wang Yinan had already given two high-level academic speeches in Zurich and Murihei, and during Nobel Prize Week, there were even more ordinary people attending these lectures than professional professors, so there was no limit to the content of Wang Yinan's speech.
"Professor Wang can say whatever he wants", of course, there is still a sentence that has not been said, "as long as you don't feel ashamed".
This kind of unthemed lecture is most in line with Wang Yinan's taste, and he is also happy to carry forward his attributes of jokers and chicken soup hands other than scientists in Europa.
"Since the beginning of the last century, when the small dark cloud of black-body radiation swallowed the entire sky of classical physics, a hundred years ago, physics underwent an explosive development," Wang Yinan began his speech with a review of the history of physics.
"Quantum physics, special relativity, general relativity, in a sense, the result of this explosion is the bankruptcy of determinism",
"The Laplace demon does not exist, not because of the limitation of precision, not because we cannot get sufficiently accurate initial conditions, nor because we do not have enough computing power",
"It's because uncertainty is the nature of this world, and even if you know everything yesterday, it's impossible to be completely sure what will happen in the next second",
Speaking of this, Wang Yinan was in a trance, in this case, what is the fragment of the future that Yang Lihan saw? If the future is completely uncertain, then how can there be some fragments that are entangled with the present, and it seems that there are more secrets in this universe, waiting for people to explore.
Shaking his head, Wang Yinan hid this doubt in the depths of his heart, perhaps, the detection results of those mysterious black holes will bring some new clues about time and space, so it seems that there is nothing at all.
"However, even if the determinism is abandoned, in the minds of scientists, the world is still understandable," Wang Yinan continued.
"Until Einstein, Dolsky and Rosen came up with the famous EPR paradox, of course, in the first few decades of this paradox, the vast majority of scientists, like ostriches, pretended not to see the existence of this paradox",
"After all, this paradox requires a painful choice between abandoning realism and abandoning the constant speed of light, and neither choice is a real physicist willing to make",
"So, everyone pretended not to see this terrible paradox," Wang Yinan said.
"Until one day, a physicist named Bell said that the EPR paradox is difficult to verify, but we can change a few aspects of this thought experiment and finally get an operational experiment, and a verifiable inequality, Bell's inequality",
Wang Yinan smiled bitterly, "Therefore, real scientists are crazy people, they don't care how much these ideas and theories, and even inequalities, will have on our outlook on life and worldview."
"I guess those crazy people are thinking very simply, I just want to see if this inequality holds up or not?" ,
The audience in the audience let out a burst of laughter, in the eyes of everyone, Wang Yinan himself is not a complete madman, the guy who can propose it, actually said that other scientists are crazy, I don't read much, don't tease me.
"As a result, I will be disappointed under the nine springs of Einstein, whom I admire the most, that Bell's inequality is actually true, so the ostriches are driven out of the sand and put two cups of poisoned wine in front of them",
"If you drink a glass, you will die immediately, that is, the choice of the speed of light is not the fastest speed of physical motion, and the phenomenon of accepting the speed of light exists",
"There is another cup, it is to die after a period of time, to accept that this world is not what we think, that there is some mysterious connection between time and space here and time and space there, and that the universe is an inseparable whole", Wang Yinan continued,
"Everyone knows that all physicists choose to die after a while."
"It seems to me that this is nothing more than the shattering of another delusional expectation that we take for granted after the determinism has been shattered",
"That is the destruction of descriptiveness, the destruction of attempts to describe nature with simple formalization, clearly divisible time and space, and concepts."
"Actually, I had a similar idea a long time ago, and there were many physicists who went to find hidden variables, or proposed a multiverse theory to explain the problem from probability to reality."
"In my opinion, the multiverse theory is a lump of X, this kind of theory that seriously violates Occam's razor's principle, how can so many people still be regarded as treasures",
"There are infinite parallel universes, even God can't take care of them."
"All of these theoretical dilemmas can be well solved by acknowledging that the existing formal systems cannot fully describe the natural world."
"It wasn't until I saw Mr. Grothendieck's manuscript and perfected it with Mr. Grothendieck that I realized it",
"Perhaps, this is the true interpretation of quantum mechanics, not the probability collapse of the Copenhagen School, nor the choice between Einstein's definite and real, but the mathematical tools we have that cannot describe the nature of the natural world."
This is the first time that Wang Yinan has publicly proposed his interpretation of quantum mechanics, which is known as the indescribable interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Of course, it is with his status in this life that he dares to put forward his own explanation, otherwise, who will take him seriously.
That night, Li Wenjing also came to Stockholm to meet Wang Yinan, and gave him a thumbs up as soon as they met.
"Yes, this is the posture of starting a sect, Wang Yinan of quantum mechanics explained, bold enough, bull X enough."
"You are wrong, it takes the least courage to put forward this kind of purely philosophical theoretical explanation, you want to refute me, okay, come up with evidence", Wang Yinan said with a smile,
"Hell you have to come up with evidence, I can't even prove it, let alone refute it."
Wang Yinan's new theory immediately sparked a huge response during the Nobel Prize Week, with some in favor, some against, and of course, more in mind.
And in the eyes of some fanatical religious people, Wang Yinan has become a trouble in trouble, even more dangerous than Bruno, who was burned to death, or Galileo, who was closely guarded by the Church, in the words of the venerable Turmeric of the Vatican, "this damned heretic",
"Though he did not explicitly deny the existence of God",
"He has taken away even the soil in which the word may exist, and the natural world, which cannot be described by mathematics, can God create it"?
Even if Wang Yinan knew, he could only say that he couldn't help it, after all, this was the brightest moment in his life so far.
On December 10th, at 5 p.m., after the hilarious Peace Prize, the Literature Prize, and the oft-faceted Economics Prize, the Physiology and Medicine Prize were awarded to three researchers who made major breakthroughs in the treatment of the death of love.
The ceremony of the year's most important prizes in chemistry and physics began, and after the symphony orchestra performed one of Bach's famous concertos in the Concertgebouw in Stockholm, the king of Nordic Europa solemnly announced,
"This year's Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry is awarded to these two young men",
"Because of their outstanding contributions in the fields of lattice frequency, high-temperature superconductivity, and molecular machines."
This is the best era, Wang Yinan won two gold medals without death, and David successfully stood in front of Goliath as a competitor.
It's also the worst of times, black holes of unknown origin, bringing the stars to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and humanity discovering itself that it will never be able to describe the most mysterious details of nature, and mad scientists, creating miracles that mix the human brain and the biblical web, or a nightmare?
But time never stops,
Won't even change their own pace.
A new era is coming.
