Chapter 112: Brewing (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in a garden villa that belongs to the teacher.
Roque, who had come to a friend's house for the New Year's holiday and had no hangover, was holding the Arcane journal and shouting, both surprised and excited, and from time to time he made a sound of "it can be like this" and "well done".
"Oops, I'm going to be late!" Roque was so excited that he suddenly saw the clock hanging in the living room of his friend's house, his body bounced up violently, and he realized that he had made a big mistake, so he quickly picked up his soft hat and put it on, said hello to his friend, and hurried out of the door.
The school avenue, with its yellow and fallen leaves, created a strange romantic atmosphere, but Roque had no intention of appreciating it, and hurried to the place where the carriage was rented.
"Isn't this Roque?When will the superior of the Atomic Research Institute return to school?"
Hearing this slightly low and hoarse voice, Roque stopped abruptly and looked sideways at the other side of the avenue, only to see the honest-looking Beate and others standing under the tree.
"Byatt?" Roque's expression suddenly became excited, he didn't care about Byatt's hostile attitude, and said with a smile, "Have you watched today's "Arcane"?"
Beate was stunned for a moment, when did Roque, who usually taunts and sarcastically mock each other, become so kind?
"What's wrong?" replied a teacher from the Department of Electromagnetism next to him, confused.
Roque suppressed the urge to blurt out, and smiled maliciously: "Do you remember that bright and dazzling star more than half a month ago? It was created and launched by His Excellency the Speaker! The first paper is a detailed experiment!"
"What? this, how is this possible?" Beate didn't think about anything else. It's just a face full of horror, this, is this an experiment that humans can complete?
The other teachers next to him had the same expressions.
Roque was very patient in inducing: "This fully proves the correctness of His Excellency Speaker's theory, and effectively counters the doubts that have been secretly questioned for hundreds of years." ”
"That's right. Beate agrees. Douglas's theoretical system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he subconsciously nodded in reply.
Roque suddenly laughed: "Then the last time we discussed His Excellency Speaker's light-speed experiment, didn't you dismiss it on the basis of His Excellency's theoretical system?
Beate raised his right hand and pointed at Roque, his fingers shaking violently: "You!"
He was only a second-level arcanist, and he really couldn't think of any other theoretical explanation for it.
"Oh, forgot to tell you. Two theories presented in the last issues of Arcane and Magic. It has been refuted by the Storm Master, one is from its own loopholes, and the other is asking for experimental proof, but I believe it. If there are really experimental results. The proposer will definitely attach it as soon as possible. If he can't show it, it proves that he himself made experimental results that are not conducive to the paper. Roque's train of thought blocked Beate's thoughts.
Beate was annoyed and unacceptably said: "Then you use particle theory to explain the double-slit diffraction fringes, and explain the Brooke bright spots!"
"That's not the point of our discussion right now, come. Please give your Excellency the Speaker another explanation for the speed of light experiment to prove that the aether exists! Hmph, if the aether doesn't exist, then what's the value of the Wave Theory? By the way, in the Arcane journal, Mr. Aartier has offered a bounty of 50,000 Arcane Points to solicit similar theories, so that you Arcanists who support the Wave Theory can make good use of their ideas!
Beate felt that if it weren't for the classical optical images supporting him, he might have been shaken, and now he firmly adhered to the bottom line and said: "I can't mention it now, and it doesn't mean that there is! You should use particle theory to explain these experiments of double-slit diffraction! It's been nearly a hundred years!"
"Stubborn, unwilling to face reality!" Roque said loudly and sarcastically.
Byatt roared, "You are the same, you refuse to face up to those classic experiments!"
In this way, Roque started a long debate in a group of people, but both sides said their own things, and did not have the slightest idea of replying to each other's questions, and it seemed that there would be no result in the destruction of the world.
"It's over, it's late!" Roque panicked when he realized that the winter sun had warmed him. The thought of the arcane points that would be deducted made his heart ache.
So, Roque looked at Beate and the others with disdain: "Don't go around and around anymore, if you have the ability to refute Your Excellency Speaker's light-speed experiment, go and get a bounty!
"If you don't have this ability, don't preach fluctuations!"
After saying that, he walked away, without giving Beate a chance to reply at all, and he was deeply rooted in the essence of debating war and leaving with one blow.
Beate was about to refute Roque again with a classic experiment, only to find that he had run away without a trace, and his unspeakable frustration burned his mind like flames: "Damn bastards! Idiot! Fool!"
Similar scenes also happened in many places in Alinge, but basically the arcanists who adhered to the particle theory fought against a group of supporters of the wave theory with an absolute numerical inferiority, but thanks to the strong proof of the speed of light experiment, they rarely gained the upper hand and completely vented their usual frustration, and the arcanists who were so angry that they supported the wave theory erupted in anger but were helpless.
The only good news is that the Arcanists' cognitive world based on the wave theory has not been strongly shaken by the existence of classical optical experiments, and they believe that there must be other theories including the etheric medium that can explain Douglas's light-speed experiment.
............
In the Electromagnetic Kingdom, Brooke sees a new issue of Arcane Journal.
He touched his wig hood and sighed softly: "The teacher actually thought of this kind of proof idea...... Worthy of a teacher......"
He flipped to the last page of the journal, carefully read Aartiel's "Declaration of Battle", then shook his head, got up and walked to the window, looked at the distorted magnetic field, the flowing current, the jumping arc, and the invisible electromagnetic waves outside, and whispered to himself, "What is the problem with the speed of light experiment?"
"Just because it's right doesn't mean the ether doesn't exist. Perhaps the ether is filling the starry sky in a form that we can't currently imagine. ”
"Actually, I should thank the teacher for this experiment, which allows us to eliminate many ideas about the ether and get closer and closer to the truth. ”
"In what way does it have to exist to fit the results of this experiment?" Brooke pondered.
Unless faced with irrefutable proofs, every Grand Arcanist has a much greater insistence on his own theories than anyone else.
............
In "Theater of Destruction".
Oliver Constantine, dressed in pajamas, leaned back on a chaise longue and read the Arcane journal as he ate grapes fed by his wife Florentine.
"Hey, Aartiel challenged us?" Oliver said to Florence with a smile.
Artiel became a student of Douglas only a dozen years later than Brooke, and his qualifications were very old, and he was quite familiar with every Grand Arcanist and Legendary Magician.
Florence raised a fine eyebrow: "What challenge?" She only read Douglas's first paper before her husband "snatched" the journal.
Oliver sang two vague lines of opera before he said, "He offered a reward for the theory that the speed of light experiment contained the aetheric medium." ”
"Hehe, isn't that great?" said Florencea, smiling charmingly. As a high-ranking arcanist. After hearing her husband's words, she quickly clarified the relationship between Douglas's artificial planet experiment and the speed of light experiment. And she is undoubtedly the best at elemental magic, which is undoubtedly a proponent of particle theory, which is irreconcilably contradictory to Oliver's insistence on wave theory.
Oliver smiled and reached out and pinched the tip of Florenza's upturned nose, "What?
"Of course, I don't think you can explain the lightspeed experiment. "Florence is quite adamant on theoretical issues.
Oliver laughed, "If I can explain, you'll have to grant me a request." ”
"No problem. If you can't explain it. You'll have to grant me a request, too. "Florence is very cooperative in turning theoretical conflict into conjugal fun. It's a small way they can get along when many theories are quite different.
Oliver sat up straight. With a smile, he said, "I feel like I'm full of motivation to work!"
............
Roland, who happened to be in Alinge's authority on the electromagnetic department and winner of the Silver Moon Medal, looked at the journal in front of him with a gloomy face, and roared in a low voice: "Damn Altier!"
He not only adheres to the theory of energy essentialism, but is also one of the advocates of the wave theory. The two are not in conflict with each other, one in terms of matter, the other in terms of light and mental power, and even he believes that waves are the only manifestation of energy other than matter.
"Damn Norman, Rujaana, Lucian!" he didn't dare to curse Douglas and Fernando, so he scolded the other thanked personnel separately.
After scolding, his attention also returned to the paper, pacing back and forth in the room, looking for any angle from which to explain.
Every intermediate-level or higher arcanist who adhered to the wave theory calmed down and began to rack their brains to think of theories that could explain the experiment.
............
Lucian, who has always liked to cause controversy and solve difficult problems in the eyes of everyone, has rarely remained silent and has not made any meaningful comments on wave theory and particle theory.
When the Magic Council fell into the "Wave-Particle War" again, the second artificial planet successfully circled the world, the third communication planet secretly entered orbit, and the Alinge telephone and telegraph company was initially established.
As the Polpol-Particle War rages on, at the end of January, Lucien receives an invitation from the Tower to present himself and Levsky with the Arcane Scepter Award at the Tower's headquarters in Alinge.
The carriage stopped at the door with Lucien and Lazar of the Atomic Institute, among others, and met Levsky, who arrived almost at the same time.
"Good evening, Levsky. Lucien greeted as he stepped out of the carriage.
Levsky smiled bitterly: "It's not good at all, it's quite difficult to analyze the new geometric system, and my friends have been arguing a lot about wave theory and particle theory during this time, which makes it difficult for me to get quiet." ”
I will also hear about the "Wave-Grain War" here, and Lucien is also a little helpless. (To be continued......)
