Chapter 151: Capture

Zhu Cheng's worries did not go wrong, and the discussion of the Cree World Science Center in the academic community reached a peak!

Various disciplines are clash on the invisible front, but Zhu Cheng has no intention of paying attention, and the science center can only continue to come up with results that shock them one by one, and finally be able to attract talents into his hands under a variety of factors. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

His days at Cree's headquarters, the Gemini Building, are getting more and more leisurely, answering Lilia's questions, doing experiments in a private laboratory, looking at the base of Panlong Mountain, and looking forward to the future is his favorite thing to do.

And now he is still studying quantum, which began on December 14, 1900, when Planck proposed the hypothesis of the energy nurture.

When astronomer Hershel discovered the thermal effect of infrared radiation, he used a sensitive thermometer to measure the thermal effect of various parts of the solar spectrum in the laboratory.

He believed that in addition to the visible red light, there was also invisible radiation. This is infrared.

For this reason, people began theoretical research on the basis of experimental discoveries, and more and more research on radiation was also conducted. A strange device appeared. Called a blackbody, this blackbody can absorb all incoming electromagnetic waves.

A scientist named Venn obtained a Wien empirical formula through the study of blackbodies, but unfortunately, this empirical formula only deviates in long waves, and is applicable in short waves.

The Rayligings empirical formula is applied to long waves, but as the frequency of the incident increases, the wavelength decreases, and the radiation becomes infinite!

This is the reason for the collapse of classical physics, which was ruled by Newtonian mechanics, Maxwell's electrodynamics, thermodynamics and statistical physics.

Planck used mathematical tools and interpolation to obtain Planck's formula, of course, he would never admit that the two sets of formulas were so troublesome at that time, and with his strong mathematical talent and tools, he got this formula of his own.

When he was in school before, his mentor Yoli had tried his best to persuade him. Let him give up physics and study mathematics purely. Deeply interested in the question of the nature of the universe, he did not listen.

"In the great glory of Newtonian mechanics, Maxwell's electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and statistical physics, there is nothing fundamentally new to be discovered in this academic field." These are the exact words of Mentor Yori.

When he fused the Wiane empirical formula with the Sharpkins empirical formula, he himself was stunned, and he got a constant, which contained the possibility of hitting Newton and reaching Maxwell!

For a conservative person, it is already a bold thing to use mathematical tools to play with empirical formulas. If he is asked to challenge the mountain of classical mechanics again, he really can't do it.

But he has been on this formula for almost 6 years! He hastily wrote a letter to his friend Wood, a true record of his reluctance to discover quantum.

"To put it simply, I can describe this whole step as a desperate action, for I am by nature peaceful and against suspicious adventures, yet I have been struggling with the balance between radiation and matter for six years without any success. I understand that this problem is fundamentally important in physics, and I know the formula that describes the energy distribution in the blackbody radiation spectrum, so I have to find a theoretical interpretation of it at any cost, no matter how high the cost. ”

He writes good letters, neatly dressed: tuxedo, jazz hat, black umbrella. Bring your academic report, tidy up on your desk, and go out. I dropped the letter in the mailbox and sorted out my clothes. In the sporadic light rain, stroll along the bluestone trails of Bad Honef, Germany.

His target was the German Physical Society on the Rhine, and he didn't know if it was the thinness of his clothes or the challenge to the traditional, classic Newtonian mechanics that made him tremble. Pushing open the wooden doors of the Physics Society, where the annual meeting is being held, more than 3,000 people have gathered to discuss the latest frontiers in physics.

He didn't know when he was standing on the podium. He cleared his throat vigorously. Prepare to start your presentation. Planck was then the director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berlin!

Originally, this position was supposed to be Hertz's, but Hertz stayed in that beautiful Karlsruhe and did not take office, so Planck was actually picking up the leaks. He sat in this position and was controversial.

And now the speech he is going to give is even more challenging authority!

"The triumph of a new scientific truth is not achieved by convincing its opponents and seeing the light of truth. Rather, it is through the eventual death of these opponents and the growth of a new generation who is familiar with it. ”

He did not explain the power of his constants, but simply laid out a formula for everyone to verify, and the blackbody problem that had plagued physics for a long time gradually disappeared in his speech, but a new hypothesis is shaking the foundations of classical physics: Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell's electrodynamics.

"The premise of this formula is that it must be assumed that energy is not continuous when it is emitted and absorbed, but is divided into parts."

As soon as this assumption came out, the world was in an uproar! He subverted people's most fundamental understanding of the world, and the classical mechanics that flourished at the moment was poked in front of this sentence! The edifice of physics crumbles in the face of this assumption!

The energy is not continuous, is it so powerful? Because he has set a minimum monetary unit for the gradient of energy! Just as a penny is the smallest unit of currency in China and a cent is the smallest unit of currency in the U.S. dollar, energy has a minimum unit.

The continuity of matter has been the universal consciousness of human beings since their birth. There is a little B on the way from A to C, and in the general consciousness, the car must pass through point B, but according to Planck's remarks, the car did not pass, but completed this journey. The energy is not gradual, but a leap.

"Ridiculous! Amusing! ”

"Get out of the position of director of the Institute of Physics! You're just teaching bad students! Mistaken children! Delay the future of the students! ”

"You don't know physics at all! You simply don't understand the greatness of Newton and Maxwell! How can there be dark clouds in this clear physical sky! “

"Anyone who tries to challenge the truth of science is ridiculous!"

……

The angry curse echoed in Planck's ears, but he suddenly thought of Bruno in Campo de' Fiori in Rome, who was burned at the stake for propagating heliocentrism! He remembered Galileo who knelt in the halls of the Convent of Santa Maria and signed the Book of Repentance!

Should classical physics also be judged against Planck, as theology does?

What followed was beyond Planck's expectations, for for his contribution to blackbody radiation, he was selected as the Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1918, and was loved by everyone from Wilhelm II of Germany to the cart pulp seller, whose portrait was printed on two marks of gold coins and stamps before he died.

"I'm just a tragic martyr, I'm conservative, I'm never radical, accidental mathematical interpolation blends the two formulas, I live in fear, but it's really insightful, and I have to publish it."

When Zhu Cheng closed the scroll and closed the information, he also let out a long sigh, the road of science is never smooth. Every achievement, every unconventional idea, always provokes worldly resistance. This area, which God forgot to smear, was discovered by Planck, but he devoted the rest of his life to explaining his assumptions and constants in classical mechanics. Discover the quantum hypothesis, but work to disprove it!

During World War II, the persecuted German scientists fled, and he was the only one who chose to stay in Germany to protect the murdered scientists. A great character!

He supported Einstein from a third-class technician in a patent office to a godfather of science. Tolerance, generosity, broad-mindedness, conservatism, and blind patriotism are synonymous with him. The pioneer and subversive of an era.

After reading the historical words, Zhu Cheng looked at his private laboratory, and what he was going to do was very similar to Planck. He wants to promote the development of science and technology, and he wants to subvert everyone's perception.

In the re-enactment of the frozen atom experiment, the temperature of the target that was increasingly frozen in six laser beams finally reached a limit, 24 μK, which is four millionths of a million more than absolute zero.

The atomic activity at this temperature is close to 0, exuding absolute quantum characteristics, showing its unique quantum charm in the microscopic world, but because of the mutual influence of each other's electromagnetic forces, it cannot achieve the effect of complete quantization, and this process needs to further capture the single atom to succeed, and this step is even more difficult.

There are many ways to capture his work, and through the books in the library, he knows that he is getting closer and closer to capturing a single atom.

"The science center is about to be completed, why don't you go and have a look?" Liu Yiming called Zhu Cheng, and this call forced Zhu Cheng's experiment to be suspended. He has a set of plans for the future of the World Science Center. His expectations for the World Science Center surpassed all of them!

"President Zhong of the Chinese Academy of Sciences came to Shancheng by plane and asked to meet you." Liu Yiming mentioned another thing, this is not good news, if it is policy support, then Zhu Cheng is very welcome! He also hoped so, and if it was a mess, he would be insensitive to it.

"When Professor Zhang informed me, he told me that he was discussing an extremely important topic, which was related to the direction of scientific research. More than anyone else, Dean Chung wants science to keep moving forward! ”

Liu Yiming added, which made Zhu Chengxin relax a little, but what kind of issues are worthy of him coming to discuss in person.

PS: The functional images of Planck's mathematical formula, Wien's empirical formula, and Rayleigh-Kings' empirical formula were uploaded to the group to share with Planck's avatar gold coins, and the research on Planck came from M. Planck's scientific autobiography. Group: The 133708894 of readers in the library. There is no charge for this paragraph. (To be continued.) )
