Chapter Ninety-Three: Knowing Things

"There is no consensus yet," Qian said.

"The Presbyterian Church also wants to hear the opinions of experts, you are the first to discover these eight coordinates, and you must first hear your thoughts",

"So in the middle of a busy schedule, the Council of Elders decided to solicit the opinions of experts on a small scale in the morning after tomorrow, and the arrangement was in such a hurry, also considering that you may be very busy next, hehe", Qian Lao couldn't help but make a joke.

"Then I'll borrow your auspicious words", Wang Yinan hung up the phone with a smile.

Looking back at the island looming in a sudden fog, Wang Yinan did not drive this time, but took a boat from the island to Hangang University, originally he wanted to step on the flying carpet to pass, this risky move was not surprisingly rejected by Rong and all the other shareholders of the company.

"Taking a boat is already the limit of safety, so you don't want to step on a flying carpet to pull the wind," Zhang Qiyi said rhetorically.

Sitting in the back of the dinghy, seeing the island gradually moving away, the wind on the lake blows the messy hair on the forehead, in this early autumn season, it is particularly refreshing, "Hanjiang University said to send me a small villa by the lake, and when the headquarters is built, I can drive the dinghy by myself when I go to work in the future, or secretly step on the flying carpet", Wang Yinan thought,

"The degree of this wind pulling can be said to be unprecedented", imagining the scene of his own wind pulling on Ping and crossing the water, Wang Yinan's mouth couldn't help grinning.

Of course, the small cottage by the lake is not so easy to get, no, Wang Yinan agreed to give a series of lectures to the graduate and undergraduate students of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry of Hanjiang University, and before returning to the imperial capital, he rushed over to give the first lecture.

The dean of the Department of Physics of Hanjiang University was waiting for Wang Yinan at the wharf, and the scholars who gave lectures at the wharf on the campus were the first time in the history of Hanjiang University.

For the sake of Wang Yi's boy's shoes, Hanjiang University also spent some money to renovate the dock on campus to make it look less dilapidated.

In the Nobel Prize season, under the saturation offensive of the media, Wang Yinan's popularity now far exceeds that of the so-called entertainment stars.

The monthly after-tax income is about 50,000 soft sister coins, which is not high or low, but it has caused an uproar in the public.

The first is the authenticity of the payroll, when different opinions were expressed in the positive and negative directions, and even the speculation was overjoyed, Imperial Capital University later stood up and confirmed that the payroll was correct.

The personal income tax of the dazzling 10,000 soft girl coins immediately became the focus of attacks from all walks of life, "attaching importance to education should not be a slogan, starting from tax exemption for teachers",

"I have no problem with the rich deducting high income tax, but it is too much for Professor Wang to deduct such a high personal income tax from his income."

"It's just that the few brains on the blue star deserve to be given tax-free treatment",

As a result, the tax department couldn't sit still, and a spokesman stood up, "We are already carefully considering the possibility of income tax reductions for teachers, military personnel, etc."

Wang Yinan can't take care of these, to be honest, he really doesn't know what the salary offered to him by Imperial Capital University, but a small assistant at the school took his ID card to get a bank card, Wang Yinan got the bank card and left this matter behind, of course, this money is used to build a rocket, and it is estimated that at most he can build a nozzle or something.

Oh no, the nozzle is super heat-resistant, which is a far cry for money.

Standing in the largest conference room of Hanjiang University, looking at the young faces in the audience, all with enthusiasm, curiosity, and even admiration, Wang Yinan's mood suddenly improved, and he completely left behind the gains and losses of the Nobel Prize.

Yes, before becoming a Nobel Prize candidate, Wang Yinan's primary identity was a scientist, and being able to unveil the hidden veil of nature itself was the greatest praise for him, and in addition to being a scientist, he was also a teacher, preaching and solving doubts was what he should really do.

As for the Nobel Prize, if I win it or lose my life, it should be my own, and I can't run away.

Coughing slightly, Wang Yinan began his series of lectures.

"Before starting my lecture, I would like to ask you a question, what is physics, of course, everyone knows that the essence of chemistry is, in the final analysis, physics," Wang Yinan said.

"In the traditional culture of China, Confucianism is the most popular and widely spread by the ruling class, but after the development of Confucianism to the era of Wang Yangming and Dong Zhongshu, it is far from being Confucianism in the sense we usually know."

"In fact, the origin of the word physics can be found in the earliest Confucian classics."

"Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, these words must be familiar to everyone, but there are actually four words in this sentence, "Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, and righteousness",

"The so-called truth that only by learning things and knowing things can we get things is for physics," Wang Yinan said.

"There are some very interesting details that you should pay attention to here",

"Gewu", "Ge means to study, to investigate, this is a verb, so the most important origin of physics must be this verb, without research, we cannot get any knowledge or understanding",

"The object of the object, this thing is the physical thing, and it is also the materialist thing, the thing that does not depend on our consciousness as the transfer, and exists independently",

"However, in our traditional view, it is not correct to separate materialism and idealism, or even oppose them", Wang Yinan accentuated his tone and quietly put a small bomb,

"Knowledge is our conscious world, which is idealistic, that is to say, after studying things, it must still be reflected in our conscious world, and after the knowledge system is established, it is a complete process of research and understanding".

"In this process, the materialistic world and the idealistic consciousness are unified with each other and are indispensable", Wang Yinan paused slightly, waiting for the students below and of course a large number of professors who were auditing, digesting their own views,

"The development of modern physics, in fact, continues to prove this, whether it is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, or Schrödinger's cat, life and death unknown, and of course, the multiverse, the observer's fallacy, etc.",

"These thoughts all put human consciousness into the physical world to consider, and only in this way can we truly complete the process of physical research and the real process of learning from things."

can play the knowledge of things like this, so Wang Yinan dares to do it now, and asks others to make nonsense on the stage like this, it is estimated that what greets him will not be like now, it is a full applause, but rotten eggs and tomatoes.

"The universe we live in originated from a big bang, which is the most mainstream view at present, and it is also the fact that the vast majority of scientists believe", and when the applause subsided a little, Wang Yinan continued to speak,

"Why is this so, this is because of Einstein's general theory of relativity, which has been repeatedly confirmed by countless experiments since it was put forward at the beginning of the last century, so we have reason to believe that this theory is the truth."

"Through the theory of general relativity, we can conclude that the universe is expanding at an accelerated pace, and then solve the equations of the universe, and finally there will be a singularity, there is no time and no space, which is the origin of the birth and explosion of the universe," Wang Yinan said.

"This is a common method of scientific research, we put forward a theory to explain these data based on the experimental data in front of us, and then, this theory is universal, can predict some new facts and data, through prediction and confirmation, we believe that the theory is valid in the entire universe", Wang Yinan took out a pen and wrote a line of large characters on the whiteboard,

"Universal Hypothesis", "or the spatiotemporal invariance of physical laws",

"This hypothesis is not in any classical textbook, but all physicists, and even all serious scientists, believe that it must be true," Wang said.

"If this assumption doesn't hold, it's terrible, all of us here can be unemployed, and when I go back, I'll take it out and look at it twice again, trying to find evidence that all of us live in a network of hackers."

"In fact, all of us use this hypothesis implicitly when doing research, and everyone may think that this is self-evident and does not need to be taken out to say", Wang Yinan shook his head,

"But in reality, this universality is not self-evident," Wang said.

"I'll give you a basic example",

"Quantum mechanics believes that electrons move in atoms, and when the atom is affected by the outside world, the energy of the electrons will also change, and this change is not continuous, then the energy of the change = frequency x Planck's constant",

"Planck's constant is the most fundamental physical quantity, and it is also a physical quantity that can be measured with great precision in modern physics",

"Let me ask you a question, why do people take it for granted that H is the same everywhere?" , Wang Yinan asked,

"Why is the H measured in my lab the same as in your lab? Why is it the same on the blue star as it is on the moon? ”,

"Why is the H measured yesterday the same as the one measured today, and why does no one doubt that the H measured tomorrow will be different?" ,

Such a seemingly child's play question, but it caused deep thinking in the countless audiences in the audience, "yes, why",

"I can't answer this question", and when everyone began to think about this question seriously, Wang Yinan said very irresponsibly,

If it weren't for the school, rotten eggs and tomatoes would have started flying.

When the mood of the audience calmed down a little, Wang Yinan continued to elaborate, "Although it doesn't make sense, logically speaking, this universal assumption is valid, I'll give you a reason."

Unexpectedly, Professor Wang could deduce this universal hypothesis, and the audience cheered up and pricked up their ears.

"Everyone knows the counter-evidence method", this question is simply an insult to the level of Hanjiang University, the audience couldn't help it, and let out a burst of boos, Wang Yinan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, "It looks like they all know",

"If the assumption of universality is not true, then it is impossible for the universe to expand steadily after the Big Bang to the present, let alone the solar system, the blue star, life and even human beings."

"Humans can't develop physics, and it's impossible for me to lecture you here",

"Since I am here today, it means that this hypothesis must be valid."

This joking-like proof immediately drew an even louder boo,

"Okay, just kidding, let's get to the point", Wang Yinan knocked on the whiteboard.
