Chapter 17 & 18 Unique Scenery (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
"Not really. Lucien "frankly" admitted.
Hathaway was silent for a moment, as if organizing the language: "I think the comments you give are too high, and will make the arcanists have the illusion of being presumptuous and detached from reality, although the application of the volatility of electrons to the new alchemy model can indeed allow some of the imposed quantization conditions to be derived naturally, but to evaluate a hypothesis without any experiments and signs, it does not take advantage of the serious and down-to-earth arcane atmosphere to cultivate." β
She said a little messily, but Lucien still barely understood, because she regarded electrons as waves to solve some of the problems of the current new alchemy, her assumptions about Dieppe were not as conservative and stubborn as she imagined, and she was mentally prepared, after all, for her, the perfection of the new alchemy was more important, and it was her future direction.
Moreover, she uses the term "wave" to describe the electron, rather than "the electron is a wave", apparently attributing the problem to the special properties of certain particles, as proponents of particle theory explain the quantum diffraction and interference images of light β although these conjectures are full of contradictions and have not yet been taken seriously, but this does not prevent Hathaway from referring to similar ideas.
What she really wants to refute is Lucian's comments, thinking that it is too high, to know that any unbelievable and bold assumptions in the past are due to the discovery of certain problems and loopholes, and there are relevant associations, such as Lucian's optical quantum hypothesis is based on the wave theory that cannot explain the photoelectric effect.
This time, Dieppe's hypothesis is purely the product of an open-minded mind, pushing the wave-particle duality of light to all microscopic particles, but whether light is a particle or not has to be questioned. Nor is there any indication that this is not its unique nature, so how can it be rashly and blindly promoted in the world of particles?
Most importantly, this hypothesis only seems to have the potential to solve the problems of new alchemy, and does not explain the photoelectric effect as clearly as the light quantum hypothesis, which is consistent with all current experimental results even before precise experiments, so Hathaway thinks that Lucien should not be so highly rated for such a hypothesis, which would allow other arcanists to come up with completely divergent and utopian hypotheses specifically for theories that have not had any problems before. Let the arcane culture of rigorous exploration, solid research, and careful application be completely corrupted.
In simple terms. She felt that Lucian's flattering remarks about Dieppe's hypothesis would create a wave of speculative arcane research.
Hathaway's language skills were well known to all the members of the Supreme Council present, and Oliver was worried that Lucien did not understand the point, and specifically added: "You have no basis for commenting on Dieppe's paper. It will make other Arcanists feel that they have a chance. Because it does not take the discovery of any problem to blame a classical theory for error. And then starting from this fantasy, using mathematical methods to obtain a rigorous deductive process, as for how absurd the final result is. They won't care. β
"For example, I can directly accuse you of being a spy for the Church without proof, and with this premise, I can lean on what you have done, and then prove through rigorous but selective deduction that you published a subversive paper in order to blow out the heads of more magicians, and even directly kill us, the members of the Supreme Council, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating the Magic Council. Don't you think that's ridiculous? And encourage it?"
Lucien said seriously: "I got some inspiration from the hypothesis that electrons are waves, and I seem to see the dawn of solving the problem of new alchemy, which is why I give such a high evaluation, and if this hypothesis can solve the problem of new alchemy, then in turn, it also confirms it." β
Moreover, since photons can have waves, what electrons can't do? neutrons can't? Protons can't? In the microscopic realm, this is a relatively well-documented hypothesis, not a pure utopian dream. β
In the discussion of the arcane, Lucien is a person with his own insistence, and he cannot admit that his evaluation is too reckless because of the accusations of the two great arcanists, and admit that Dieppe's thesis is indeed too bold and too detached from reality, which is unfair to the professionalism and authority of his own comments, and unfair to Dieppe's efforts.
Even if you haven't done experiments, you will have the same persistence, and those who can make yourself give this comment must have merit, but if you are really pointed out as a loophole, or if there are experimental results to refute, then you are not a stubborn person.
"When has light been recognized as a particle?" said Vicente, a pale middle-aged man in a black cloak, cold, his eyes dancing with dark red flames.
Hathaway looked at the Revenant Dominator and said, "Whether you admit it or not, the photoelectric effect and Brooke's scattering experiments are all there, and they clearly show everything. β
"But I think there may be explanations for fluctuations such as scattering experiments, such as ......," Oliver said, saying his idea of constructing special waves that can exhibit particle properties.
Douglas frowned and said, "There are no experiments or theories that can support your idea. β
"That's not a direction. "Brooke is succinct and authentic.
......
All of a sudden, due to the controversy between the wave theory and the particle theory, the entire conference room of the Supreme Council became very noisy, and gradually, as the quarrel deepened, they even experienced emotional fluctuations.
"Let's build your special complex first, Oliver. When Klaus spoke, there seemed to be countless points of light behind him, forming different illusions of alchemical things, including golems, puppets, floating cities, alchemy fortresses, and magic steam trains......
Oliver shook his finger: "No matter how you look at it, this is also a way to explain the photoelectric effect and Brooke's scattering experiments. And, before discussing my question, you'd do well to revisit particle theory, which may never have been particles, they are all special manifestations of waves. β
One scene after another of destruction erupted around him, staining the conference room with a layer of apocalyptic aura.
"If the particles are waves, are the elements made up of these microscopic particles waves? Are the life of these elements waves? More precisely, are we waves?" Vicente disagrees with Oliver on this reasoning. He is an authority on the human body and the soul, and it is difficult to believe that the body is a wave?
The black tombstones of peace and eternal sleep seemed to grow one after another on the carpet of the conference room, and the silent death enveloped everything.
Oliver waved his hand, signaling that he was not rigorous enough in this sentence, and said again: "To be honest, although I appreciate Dieppe's hypothesis, and I also want to give him a high evaluation of the corner of the world that has lifted the curtain of the world, at least for now, I don't believe that electrons can be waves. β
He said as he used magic. A picture of electronic motion in a cloud room was directly constructed. The pale white droplets formed a wonderful electronic trail, full of dreamy and shocking flavors.
"With such a distinct particle trajectory of the electron, I don't have the audacity to believe that it's a wave for the time being, but. Now that Lucien agrees with Dieppe's hypothesis. Does it also mean that he agrees that fluctuations are the essence of light?" Oliver set his sights on Lucian.
He was using Lucian's comments to attack his own quantum theory of light.
"As I said, maybe electrons can exhibit wave behavior in special cases, such as when they are tied around the nucleus. Hathaway was on Lucian's side again at this time.
Helen is one of the few legendary magicians who has not recognized the projection of the world. She had been quietly listening to the argument between the proponents of the wave theory and the proponents of particle theory, and at this time she couldn't help but interject: "Actually, since the quantum hypothesis of light has been confirmed, I am very confused, why is light both fluctuating and particle-like, could it really be that we should look at this problem from a higher level as Evans said?"
"It can be explained in terms of fluctuations......" Oliver once again emphasized his opinion, people who can become great arcanists are indispensable to persevere.
Seeing that the two sides were about to start a "frank and friendly conversation" again, Douglas hurriedly signaled them to be quiet with gestures, and all kinds of visions in the conference room suddenly disappeared, changing from a hellish scene back to the real world.
"The confrontation between wave theory and particle theory has been going on for a long time, there is no need to delay today's time, since Lucian insists that there is no problem with his comment, and it is not the result of the paper review, it seems that there is no need to discuss it anymore?" Douglas glanced around at everyone.
Oliver bowed his head slightly: "Let me ask more, I believe everyone is equally curious, Lucian, in your heart, is light a wave or a particle?"
"Also, is the electron a wave or a particle?" added Vicente coldly.
Hathaway, Helen, and the others also looked at Lucien, curious about his true arcane stance.
And since the beginning of the vision, Lucien has been quietly watching this situation, which is very different from any other scene, which is a unique scenery that can only be seen when the Supreme Council is in session.
At this time, hearing their questions and feeling everyone's gaze, Lucien did not refuse to answer, but looked at the abnormal teacher with a slight worry, and asked seriously: "What is a wave? What is a particle?"
The members present were at least the Arcanists of the Nine Rings, and they didn't expect Lucien to ask the most basic concepts, and they were a little stunned for a while.
"Lucian, this is not lecture time, although your nickname is Professor. Oliver said with self-conscious humor.
Vicente only had two dark red flames in his eyes, and only the thin skin covered in bones left on his face, making it difficult to see his true emotions: "The definition of waves and particles is mentioned in the basic books of the arcane, everyone's time is precious, if you don't want to answer, then keep silent." β
"A wave is a phenomenon, originally defined by a summary of various wave conditions in nature, and used in the study of arcane arts, specifically defined as ......" Hathaway did not hesitate to Vicente, and gave a general definition of waves and particles.
Lucien smiled, "It is obvious that the definition of waves and particles comes from us, from our experience of the real world that can be directly observed. β
"What's wrong with that?" Brooke crossed his fingers against his chin, as if guessing.
Douglas, Bergner the Prophet, and Hathaway seemed to remember something, each with a thoughtful expression, the difference was that Hathaway's expression barely changed, and it was difficult to detect it if he didn't look closely, while Fernando, the Storm Lord, still maintained his previous silence.
Lucien didn't answer directly, but looked at the crowd: "If you don't think it's a waste of time, I'd like to tell a story first." β
"No problem. "Oliver has always been tolerant of stories.
Since he has spoken. Naturally, the other members of the Supreme Council would not object to this kind of trivial matter, and they believed that Lucian was definitely not telling a story to perfunctory everyone, and must have his own intentions, besides, the previous quarrels and questions were all based on arcane art, not specifically for Lucian, and they could explain the problem clearly, what does it matter if they tell a story?
"Once upon a time there was a king who was glad to get a dragon that had just died. He placed it outside the palace as a symbol of his own valor. Let every nobleman and commoner who passes by see it. "One day, a group of blind people who had not known the dragon heard about it and were curious about what the dragon was like. So they went outside the palace together. Stroking the dragon's corpse. β
Hear a group of blind people trying to figure out what the dragon looks like by "touching". Oliver, Klaus and other relatively cheerful members of the Supreme Council smiled, while others speculated on the outcome.
Lucien continued: "A blind man, with the help of a soldier, touched the dragon's wings. Immediately he said happily: 'The dragon is a terrifying big bat!'"
"'No, the dragon is a big lizard!'" retorted another blind man who had touched the dragon's scales, having caught a lizard and touched its scales before he had lost his eye. β
When the first blind man heard the words, most of the members of the Supreme Council showed expressions, but after the second blind man's answer appeared, they all became solemn, and Douglas, Hathaway, and others who had guesses and mental preparations nodded slightly.
"I don't want to say more about the answer of the rest of the blind people, I just want to ask, is the dragon a big bat or a big lizard?"
"Neither. Helen probably knew what Ludoe Sean meant, but answered earnestly.
Lucien smiled: "So, for me, light, electrons, etc., are neither waves nor particles, the only thing that can be confirmed is that they belong to matter, of course, I prefer to call them particles." β
"Neither waves nor particles?" Oliver said with a slight frown, "You want to say they're actually something else?"
Lucien looked around the room: "We can't directly see electromagnetic waves, including visible light, nor can we directly see particles in the microscopic realm, and our research in these fields is like a blind man, so we can only rely on phenomena that can be observed, and we can't blindly impose on them definitions and concepts summarized from past experience." β
"Take light as an example, when we do not load it with the concept of waves or particles in advance, we can describe it in this way, this kind of matter shows obvious waves, but also has obvious particles, what is the frequency in what range, how much is the speed in various media, as for what matter with these properties is called, that is not the point, it can be defined as anything, as for what it is and what will show wave or particle nature respectively, and how wave and particle nature are combined in it, this is what we need to further study, and it must be subject to experimental results and real phenomenaγ β
"The reason why we are arguing endlessly is that the concepts and definitions of the past are mechanically rigidly applied to the microscopic realm, to the nearest thing to the reality of the world, and I have said that our experience can deceive us, and this deception is not only reflected in research, but also in our dealings with others. β
Speaking of this, Lucien once again looked around at the members of the Supreme Council with different expressions, and said solemnly:
"Only by learning to temporarily abandon the original concepts and firmly base ourselves on current phenomena and experimental results can we 'see' the reality of the world in this microcosm. β
After Lucien's words, there was an eerie silence in the conference room, each thinking the same thing.
"But there is no original concept to study the microscopic world, and the experimental results and phenomena also need to be processed and systematized. Oliver agrees, but is more skeptical.
Lucien said simply, "Mathematical tools." β
"I don't know what the Dao is, how do I know what mathematical tools are needed for the Dao?" Vicente disagreed.
"Experimental results that can be directly observed can be applied to previous concepts and definitions, and those that are not directly observed can not, but they can be deduced from experimental results, and guesses and hypotheses can be put forward, which can be confirmed by rigorous experiments. Lucien expounded his opinion, which was gradually formed and solidified due to the influence of strange things such as magic, souls, and feedback in the real world, as well as the study of quantum theory.
"So the guess is that the electron is a wave, but it hasn't been rigorously experimentally confirmed. Vicente continued. After a big circle, the conversation went back to the beginning.
Douglas nodded lightly and said: "I think Lucian has a certain point, we see the same thing because the light is reflected into our eyes, and the magnification magic is also based on the same optical principle, but the light will react with the electron, which will cause it to 'jump', that is, change its state, so at least for now, it is difficult for us to think of a way to directly observe the microscopic realm." It can only be generalized by the results of various experiments. From induction, we assume or interpret, and when we hypothesize or interpret, we cannot substitute too many original concepts, which will constrain our minds. Blinding our hearts. β
"But no matter what. Directly guessing whether the electron is a wave or is too detached from reality. At least so far, the results of the experiments show no indication of this, and without exception exhibit particle-like properties. Oliver shook his head, and Hathaway and the others bowed slightly. Agreeing with him, at least the particle nature is an obvious experimental result, and it is difficult to associate the volatility from that stark trajectory.
However, they also initially accepted that in the study of the arcane, in the microscopic realm, they could not blindly substitute the original concept.
"Can we see the truth of the world world by giving up the original concept?" Brooke smiled with a slight sigh, "We who have learned arcane art since childhood, and accepted all kinds of definitions and concepts, are likely to accidentally substitute the original concept in our research without realizing it, and maybe sometimes, introducing the original concept will make things easier." β
Douglas looked at his pocket watch and said, "It's not too early, Lucien has also expressed his opinion, you can communicate in private." β
"Well, I'll try to test this hypothesis by reconstructing the new alchemical model with the concept of electron waves, and giving its wave function to see if it can solve the problem. Brooke is very interested in this direction and seems to have found a way to reinvent his own perception of the world.
Oliver also nodded: "I will also put my ideas into the concept of electron waves, and try to build its wave function, hoping to achieve something." β
Hathaway didn't say anything, and when she could not speak, she always didn't speak.
Vicente, the Revenant Master, said to the Storm Master with a mocking smile: "Old pervert, why haven't you spoken all this time? Is it because you are your own student, so you don't want to roar at him in front of us? This is not like you who are very insistent on the truth in the arcane realm." β
As soon as he said this, the other members of the Supreme Council came to their senses, and the Storm Lord had not spoken! Do you know that when this kind of controversy occurred in the past, the conference room must have been dominated by lightning and thunder, torrential rain, and roaring and shaking the sky, but today it is so abnormal?
Fernando, the Storm Ruler, seemed to be suppressing something, and after glancing at Vicente, he glared at Lucian: "Take it out, they should be able to withstand such an impact." β
"Take out what?" Lucien pretended to be dumbfounded.
"What to come up with?" the other members of the Supreme Council were full of questions.
Fernando roared violently: "When you give your comment, I will know that you have completed the experiment! Take it out, let's see what is called the truth of the world! See what it means to abandon the original concept!"
"Do you think we can't even afford this kind of shock, especially in uncharted territory!"
Done?Oliver, Klaus, and the others looked at Lucien in amazement, was it really done?Doesn't Lucian's attitude mean...... How is this possible?
Even Hathaway, Helen and other legendary magicians with indifferent expressions showed a little shock and surprise, which made them full of vitality at once, as if they were flesh and blood now.
Douglas looked at Lucian solemnly: "If it's done, then take it out, the people sitting here won't be so narrow and stubborn." β
He added in his heart that most of them were supporters of the wave theory, and a small number were mentally prepared for the hypothesis that seemed to solve some of the problems of the new alchemy.
Lucien watched them in silence, got a consistent jaw, took a deep breath, took out a large single crystal, and casually arranged the magic array, so that the image could be directly revealed.
Brooke didn't speak, raised his hand, and directly emitted a stream of electrons.
Time seemed to freeze, unusually depressed and silent, and it didn't take long for the magic array to light up, revealing a classic picture like an X-ray diffraction pattern!
In the eyes of everyone, this pattern is so familiar, so dreamy, but so shocking, so unbelievable!
"This ......" I don't know how many inner self-mutters came out unconsciously.
Bang!
Countless lightning bolts danced, thunder struck, and a black storm shrouded the sky;
The surrounding black magnetic field is distorted, and the invisible electromagnetic waves are abnormally disordered;
Stars emerge, emitting brilliant light, distorting the space around them and hanging down the gravitational pull;
White, black, gold, silver, little by little elements condensed, converging into the tides of the sea;
In the quiet and eternal resting place, black tombstones are placed diagonally on them, filled with a strong smell of death;
The black universe is vast and immense, and one planet after another is annihilated, falling into endless waves of destruction;
Snowflakes drifted away, the temperature of the whole room dropped by a hundred degrees, and there was crystal clear ice everywhere;
Many visions emerge and stir in the conference room, creating a terrifying scene of light and shadow, destruction and death dancing together!
Bang!
In the midst of the illusory sound of thunder and destruction, they all turned their heads to look at Lucien, and saw Lucien standing there, his hands in the pockets of his long black double-breasted dress, and his voice half-repeated Brooke's words in a low voice:
"Only by giving up the original concept can we see the truth of the world. (To be continued......)
