Chapter 117: Turmoil
"This is a hypothesis made specifically to explain the photoelectric effect, and it does not have the universality that normal theories should have, and cannot be used to explain other phenomena of light, and even completely contradict diffraction images, etc., and at the same time, there is no precise experiment to confirm this theory, which makes people have to suspect that it will always be just a hypothesis, a hypothesis that is rigorously derived, concise, and wonderful, but does not correspond to the real situation. ”
"Arcanists have done a lot of similar hypotheses, but when they are not universal enough to explain other phenomena, it often means that the hypothesis is going in the wrong direction, and I have the same opinion about this paper. ”
"I believe that Mr. Lucien Evans himself had a similar view, and understood the contradiction between this theory and the electromagnetic system of His Excellency Brooke, and with the many classical optical patterns, and so did he add a passage at the end of the sentence, affirming that this was only a treatment of instantaneous values, and that in the whole case, it was characteristic of waves. ”
The more Roland wrote, the more annoyed he became, if it weren't for the fact that the Storm Master, the fact that Lucien was the same censor as himself, and his status forged by honor and arcane standards, he would have wanted to directly attack Lucian like Nesika and the others reprimanded Levsky, so that he would be sober, stop indulging in the absurd dreams of quantization, and open his eyes to see the stable and perfect arcane system.
Taking a deep breath, Roland wrote again: "And this hypothesis, which resembles a variant of particle theory, is still from the point of view of energy discontinuity, which makes people feel ridiculous, and even the arcanists who support particle theory will not have any approval of it." Of course, Mr. Lucien Evans gave us a lot of inspiration by fully expounding his ideas, at least to give us a 'temporary' perfect explanation for the photoelectric effect, so my assessment is:
'A paper that has a considerable degree of discussion value and only has discussion value for the time being, and can apply for a revision of the evaluation results after there are accurate experimental results, and it is currently recommended to reward one arcane point and five arcane points. ’”
In the final summary, Roland writes very carefully and cunningly, not daring to reveal his tendencies too much. After all, Lucien Evans is not one of those arcanists who has no background and no status. If he catches the handle, it is easy to lose the position of the moderator.
The reason why this paper was passed is that there are still some supporters of particle theory, and if you grasp the contradiction between particle theory and Brooke's electromagnetic system and classical optical patterns, you can directly return to these papers. The reviewers who support particle theory will reject all papers that do not conform to Douglas's light-speed experiment and the photoelectric effect. Roland had to compromise to a certain extent. Endure the disgust through this variant of the particle theory - although the wave theory has taken over, the particle theory still holds on tenaciously and does not admit defeat.
Write the results of the review. Roland picked up his pipe and took a puff, then sneered: "Whether you want to have this paper read by other Arcanists or not, I have decided to recommend it to Drummond for him to publish in Arcane as a semi-discursive article." Lucien Evans, are you ready to be criticized and attacked by thousands of Arcanists?"
"The energy sub-hypothesis can't find any other theoretical explanation for the time being, so not many arcanists have written papers to refute it, so they can only forget about it, and this time it's completely different, you dare to go to war directly against one of the two major arcane systems, that is, you are the enemy of the vast majority of arcanists!
After spreading out the paper, writing a letter of recommendation to Drummond and sending it away, Roland stood up, paced around the study with his hands behind his back, and whispered to himself: "The best way is to refute it with the results of the experiment and the images, which will be conclusive evidence, and leave no chance for Lucien Evans to defend himself, and show his weakness and powerlessness to all the Arcanists." ”
............
The Song of the Silver Moon League's branch in Alinge, a strangely shaped middle-aged man is reviewing papers. He has many tattoos in the arc style, and the oval bald head has tiny electric currents, making him seem to have a thick head of silver-white hair, and his eyes are slightly narrowed, and from time to time there are electric flashes jumping out.
"Lucien, has Evans finally revealed his identity as a proponent of particle theory, or does he want to use it to promote his quantum theory?" A mocking smile appeared at Teixeira, a seventh-level arcanist and eight-ring magician, However, whatever his purpose, his paper is worthless beyond being able to explain the photoelectric effect, and must be the result of a patchwork of other theories in defiance of other theories simply to explain the photoelectric effect, and he can only do so when precise experiments cannot be carried out, otherwise he will have to be blown off by the experimental images. ”
"For the sake of him writing so many words and formulas, let's admit that the paper has discussion value, hey, I wonder what that mad dog of Aaltier will think?"
Teixeira replaced the content of his inner words in writing on top of the paper, and wrote at the end: "...... It is undeniable that it has a certain discussion value, providing us with direction and inspiration for explaining the photoelectric effect, and it is recommended to reward two arcane points and six arcane points. ”
He used to have no prejudices against Lucian, but now he is full of disgust because he attacks the electromagnetic system that underpins his cognition from the perspective of particle theory and quantum hypothesis.
If it weren't for Lucian's many achievements and rapid increase in magical strength, he would have wondered if Lucian's true arcane level was as terrifying as the rumors.
Putting down the quill, Teixeira looked at the information on the photoelectric effect, which was a phenomenon that had been bothering him recently, and looked at it, he couldn't help frowning: "If you substitute Lucien Evans's hypothesis, it seems that the photoelectric effect really has a reasonable explanation, and it is quite in line with the pursuit of concise, intuitive, and wonderful arcane results." ”
"Why is this happening? A hypothesis that is completely inconsistent with classical images can explain the photoelectric effect that contradicts the wave theory?"
............
Unwilling to see Brooke and his students and supporters arrogant, Altiel settled in his home town, where the black spire was the most eye-catching building in the whole town, and everyone who came and went was in awe.
In the study of the Magic Tower, the expression on Aartiel's face has changed from anger and disgust to admiration and ecstasy:
"Ha Luha, light quantum, light quantum, don't think that I don't know you if I change the word to describe it! What is the difference between this and the photons that particle theory is looking for? One by one, there is a minimum limit, isn't it just particles?"
"Isn't the quantization of light another elaboration of particle theory? and the photoelectric effect is perfectly explained by the introduction of the assumption that frequency is related to the energy of a single photon, and Lucian Evans is the most brilliant genius of this generation of arcanists, and the most promising one of the great arcanists in the future!"
Lucian's previous proposal of an artificial planet helped Douglas lay the foundation of his own theory, and this time the hypothesis of light quantum is clearly from the perspective of particle theory, so Aartier began to introduce him as a confidant.
"I'm going to see what the idiots who support the wave theory do to disprove this explanation, and do their classical theories and images work in the photoelectric effect?"
Aartiel was refreshed, gritting his teeth and smiling: "Except for the weakness of the last paragraph, this is the most in line with the theoretical explanation I have offered a bounty at present, well, publish it, if there is no other explanation within a year, 50,000 arcane points will belong to Lucian Evans! I really want to give it to him now!"
After finishing the rubbings and sending them to Drummond, Aartier thought happily: "From the point of view of particle theory, Lucian's previous energy quantum hypothesis does not seem so difficult to accept, and I was blinded by past experience......
............
In the Wizard Management Department, Eric receives the results of Lucian's thesis.
Having repeatedly witnessed Lucian's subversive or pioneering achievements, he looked through the documents curiously, his face turned pale, and he was also a staunch supporter of the wave theory.
Looking through the papers, and then looking at the descriptions of the two committee members, Eric wanted to write something to refute Lucian's optical quantum hypothesis, but suddenly, he thought of the periodic table, that time, Lucian's paper also seemed to get a very low evaluation, but later relied on the accurate prediction of the discovery of new elements to be confirmed, so that the two committee members admitted their mistakes and gave a very high evaluation.
"There are also a lot of assumptions in this paper that are based on the quantum of light...... Could it be ...... past experience planted the seeds of doubt in Eric's heart, "let's wait for the precise experiment to come out before discussing this issue......
............
Under Roland's intentional disclosure, although there are still two or three weeks before the release of the next issue of "Arcane", Lucien proposed the hypothesis of light quantum, and the matter of explaining the photoelectric effect from the perspective of particle theory soon spread, and many Arcanists exchanged this paper and scolded after reading it, but most people are like Eric, because of Lucian's past glory and correctness, they dare not write a paper to refute it directly, for fear of being slapped in the face by him throwing out the precise experimental results, and when the time comes, I am afraid that they will blow their heads out under the huge impact.
Because of this, after discovering that this hypothesis could indeed explain the photoelectric effect, they slowly wavered and prepared to wait and see for a while, just discussing and criticizing in private.
Such an atmosphere permeated Alinge, making Lazar, Annick and others feel indifferent and excluded, but Lucien seemed to be unaware of it, and continued to improve the meditation method and the construction of the six-ring magic without caring at all.
But there are always radicals in any group, and towards the end of the month, Lucien received a flood of letters, all anonymous name-calling, intimidation, and attacks.
Laughing and flipping through it, Lucien, who had a feeling that he had become an enemy of Alinge, suddenly frowned, because there was a letter that was too radical:
“...... I may not be able to kill you, but don't you think about your friends and students, retract your ridiculous hypothesis of the quantum of light, and admit your mistake to all the Arcanists!" (To be continued......)
