Chapter 13: Waiting
Dieppuku sat in the room, lost in a rambling mind at what he had deduced in front of him, as if he were experiencing a nightmare that he had never had before.
He repeatedly looked at his logical deduction process from the beginning, trying to find out what the problem was, and kept muttering:
"How can an electron be a wave?"
After repeating it over and over again, his self-talk became:
"How can an electron be a wave?"
Doubts overshadowed other thoughts, and he began to delve into the inner meaning of his thesis:
"What can an electron be a wave?"
The goose-feathered snow covered the outside, and the faint lights gave off a cold and fiery light, and Dieppe gradually put away his ugly expression like crying and laughing, and showed a contemplative look.
“...... According to this reasoning, it seems that all microscopic particles in motion have corresponding wave frequencies or wavelengths, so why is this so?" Dieppe's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and suddenly he remembered two sentences from this strange phenomenon, which were the words of His Excellency Evans in different papers:
“...... Perhaps we should be more open to the issue of wave particles. ”
“...... Since the wave-like and particle properties of light are irrefutable, and have been confirmed by conclusive experimental results, it may be that it has wave-particle duality if it does not unify them. ”
The latter sentence appeared in a simple paper, and was said in an uncertain and speculative tone, so it did not make any impression, but Dieppe remembered the concept of wave-particle duality, and recalled it now. I was touched in my heart, and I finally clarified my opinion.
He took a deep breath, as if to release a monster that would destroy the entire world, and wrote at the end of the manuscript: "We can conclude that wave-particle duality exists not only in photons, but also generalizes to all moving microscopic particles, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, all have wavelengths corresponding to their own energy, that is, they all have wave-particle duality. ”
Finish writing this sentence. Dieppe was as tired as if he had lost his strength. All sorts of strange thoughts came to mind: "If microscopic particles have wave-particle duality and have their own wave frequency, what about moving macroscopic matter?"
This is really a "ridiculous" promotion, and Dieppe looks at his own stable existence. Shook his head amusedly. Subconsciously did not go deeper. Something else came to mind: "The special theory of relativity can also be applied to the microscopic world represented by the new alchemy, and the two systems are not completely independent, but seem to be able to be unified in some way." Maybe in the future, both will have to apply each other's knowledge, such as the new alchemy of relativism?"
All sorts of divergent and strange thoughts began to disappear as Dieppe's mood stabilized, but he looked at the paper in front of him, and his heart was still as if it was pressing on a boulder, indescribably heavy.
Standing up from behind his desk, Dieppe walked to the window and pushed the glass window open, and the steep cool breeze hit him, a biting chill.
This made Dieppe, who had not cast magic, shiver several times in a row, his brain was frozen and he was extremely awake, and he saw that the sky had lit up with a faint light, and the ground was white and covered in silver, as if it was a new world.
"It's dawn......"
Dieppe sighed to himself.
............
At breakfast, Dieppe, who was carrying his paper, did not see his teacher, Lavendi, so after hesitating and struggling, he went straight to his study and knocked on the door.
"Come in. "Ravendi gave back through the magic tower, and knew that it was Dieppe outside, so he didn't refuse.
Pushing open the door to the study, Dieppe stepped in with a light step, and saw the teacher come out of the magic laboratory, seemingly all night verifying Lord Brooke's papers.
"What's the matter?" asked Lavendi bluntly.
Dieppe hesitated again, and many emotions such as fear, nervousness, worry, and lack of confidence came to his heart, and the results of his deduction were probably not acceptable to anyone.
"Speak!" Lavendi was also a roaring arcanist.
Dieppe gritted his teeth and took out his paper: "Teacher, this is my latest paper, I would like to ask you to guide me and see if there are any mistakes." ”
Anyway, there has been no experimental confirmation, so there should be no wavering in the cognitive world.
"What's the point of hesitation?" said Lavendi, in a loud voice, and took the paper in his hand.
He also didn't have much experience, but if he was Fernando, when he met Lucien doing this, he would definitely ask without saying a word if there was any subversiveness, to what extent, and what kind of "posture" should he use to read the paper correctly.
Dieppe opened his mouth, but didn't spit out a word, and he didn't know how to answer the teacher's question, and he couldn't say that I was worried about being yelled at by you, and that my paper was being criticized as worthless.
Laven first read the short paper as he walked towards his desk, when suddenly his steps stopped, and the expression on his face changed like that of an opera singer, shaking, indignant, annoyed, confused, and unacceptable.
Dieppe quietly took a step back, as if he felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the teacher's body, he was already the top powerhouse who could be mapped and influenced by the world that could be reflected and influenced by the current world world!
I don't know how long it took for Lavendi to come back to his senses and look at Dieppe with both eyes:
"You're telling me electrons are waves?"
The voice was muffled and low, as if it hid a terrifying storm.
"Yes, microscopic particles should have wave-particle binaries...... "Before Dieppe's apprehensive words could be finished, he was met with a roar from Lavendi:
"You're telling me electrons are waves?"
"After we've measured the mass of the electron, observed its trajectory, determined that it has momentum and is conserved, you tell me it's a wave?"
"Then why don't you tell me that those noble ladies who did give birth to a few children after marrying are actually men?"
......
The roar made Dieppe step back until his back was against the door, and while the teacher's analogy didn't seem wrong, he always felt that it didn't seem right to simply generalize the duality of the microcosm to the macrocosm. And:
"It's true that some special magical creatures are hermaphrodites, and the nobles with their bloodlines are able to change their gender on their own when activated......" he muttered quietly.
Lavendi's dark gray eyes stared at Dieppe, and there seemed to be an elemental tidal wave of chaos around him: "Follow me to the laboratory." ”
Dieppe wiped his face and walked silently behind the teacher, seeing him stop in front of Lucien's cloud room and turn on the electromagnetic cyclotron at the same time.
"Come, tell me, is the electron with such a wonderful trajectory a wave?" said Lavendi again.
Dieppe didn't need to look to know that inside the cloud room was a dreamlike particle trajectory, so clear. It's so shocking.
He took a deep breath. With a little firmness, he said: "Electrons can also exhibit particle-like properties, they are waves, and they are also particles. ”
Such words were heard in the ears of Lavendi, as if someone were speaking. He's a man. Also men. He is a giant, he is a dwarf, he is a living man. It's also dead, so ridiculous, so incomprehensible!
There have been several wars between each other, and the waves and particles that are incompatible are actually one?
He wanted to snarl at Dieppe a few more words, but after seeing his student's bloodshot eyes stubbornly meeting his own, he calmed down a little, he was a teacher who only recognized logical deductions and experimental results in arcane arts.
Quietly recalling Dieppe's logical deduction process, recalling his entire thesis, I found that there didn't seem to be much of a problem other than being unacceptable.
"Maybe you're confusing concepts when you tie several formulas together, I'll take a closer look. Lavendi softened.
Teacher Dieppe Zhidao was indeed difficult to accept for a while, and even he, the person who deduced the conclusion, struggled for a long time to believe it, and he was still uneasy and had no confidence, so he nodded a little frustratedly: "I'm waiting for your guidance, teacher." ”
Lavendi looked at the student's slightly depressed and lost look, and walked out with the paper: "This paper is relatively simple, not too long, I will send it to Maurice and Gaston first, and they will have a look to see what they think, I don't mean it's correct." ”
This is something he has always emphasized, and he cannot blindly follow the teacher.
A small flame was once again lit in Dieppe's heart, and there was hope and hope.
In his nervousness, Dieppe did not do any research, and from time to time he waited to see when the "messenger" would return, and at noon, after confirming the arrival of the replies of several high-ranking arcanists, he came to the teacher's study again:
"Teacher, what is their opinion, Lord Morris?"
Lavendi took the letter and read it without expression: "Morris's opinion is that 'a hypothesis that is so well deduced but so bold as to be divorced from reality is inconsistent with all the results of experiments.'" In what form should particles and waves be unified and exist? There is no current model that can correspond to this'. ”
Dieppe's expectant expression suddenly fell, and his confidence was shaken again.
"Gaston's opinion is that 'any hypothesis must be rigorously confirmed by experiments and phenomena, and it is clear that I do not see this, that the electron is both a particle and a wave, a completely unimaginable form of existence'. ”
Since it was a paper sent by Lavendi, both Morris and Gaston were mild-mannered.
Dieppe sat bitterly in his chair, his mind a mess, maybe I was really wrong?
"It's hard to convince people of your paper, even the adherents of the wave theory, who are only entangled in electromagnetic waves and photons, and have never doubted electrons, will certainly be pleased with your hypothesis and derivation, but they will certainly not give you enough support. Lavendi concluded.
Dieppe scratched his head: "We need a small enough gap so that we should be able to see the diffraction or interference phenomenon of electrons, like a wave." ”
Deep down, he still has a firm idea.
Nodding his head at the student's firmness, Lavendi thought that he could not be allowed to continue his thoughts, so he said, "I will send your paper to Lucien again, he is the absolute authority on this subject, if he does not approve of it......"
"That may be wrong. Dieppe's eyes seemed to be burning with fire, a flame fueled by hope and expectation, and he added in his heart, "But I still have to wait for the rebuttal of the experimental results......
The "Devil Pet Messenger" sent the paper away, and Dieppe began to wait restlessly, as nervously as he had when he had checked his mental talents.
"I don't need the bastards who Wave said to support ......"
"If anyone agrees with my thesis, His Excellency Evans is undoubtedly one of the few, and if he thinks it is ridiculous, then ......"
"Excellency Evans, what will you think......" (To be continued......)
