Chapter 53: Brooke's Expectations (Part 2)

"Thunder Hell", Fernando's magic tower.

As long as he was still in Alinge and nothing else disturbed, Lucien had maintained the habit of communicating with his teacher once a week in arcane and magical affairs, but when he entered the teacher's study today, he unexpectedly saw Brooke, an old-fashioned gentleman wearing a white hair cover.

Didn't they always "like" face-to-face communication with their teachers, preferring to use letters?

Brooke didn't wait for Lucien to say hello, he lifted his gold-rimmed eyes and smiled: "In the last few days, your paper on the roots of magic has caused quite a stir in Alinge, and I have also gained a lot of inspiration from it, congratulations, the first official model of the nature of magic." ”

Fernando, who was next to him, muttered, "The 'observer effect' is not a good thing, it makes the world unreal......

Lucien smiled, his insistence on the reality of the world made it difficult for the teacher to have a good impression of the "observer effect", especially since this explanation did not have any strong evidence, nor was it rigorously derived, just a terrifying "prophecy" of a great arcanist.

"Xie Lu Xie, to be honest, I have just started to explore this aspect myself, and there are still many debatable points in this paper, and the same is true of 'negative energy vacuum sea'. Lucien said very sincerely, believing that the teacher and Mr. Brooke could see it as well, and then he deliberately changed the subject, "Teacher, Mr. Brooke, what are you discussing?"

Being able to avoid facing the teacher's rant is of course better not to face it.

"I was inspired by your previous research on the quantization of electromagnetic fields in your previous research on spontaneous emissions, and the value of Annick and Sprint's similar treatment of the electron problem is remarkable. Therefore, I would like to start from your idea of 'quadratic quantization', thoroughly introduce quantum theory into classical electromagnetic field theory, and construct a quantum field theory, so as to deeply explore electrons and photons, and study the nature of electromagnetic forces. ”

When it comes to the nature of the electromagnetic force, Brooke's slightly emaciated half-aged face seems to light up with a layer of light, which is that he has unconsciously interfered with the real world.

In his discussion of the microscopic field, he was careful to use photons rather than electromagnetic waves, apparently accepting the wave-particle duality of light to a great extent. Not only did he not completely reject the theories that caused his cognition of the world to shatter and solidify in the first place. On the contrary, there is a strong desire for research.

Fernando, whose hair always seemed to be a little messy, said angrily: "Then he pulled me to study together and solve the problems inside, completely ignoring the fact that I was studying the cause of the uncontrolled fission reactor and the preliminary theory of weak interaction......

The term "weak interaction force" is named after the nuclear force proposed by Lucien and Hathaway, the "strong interaction force".

He looked unwilling, but his bright red eyes were bright and bright. This made Lucien laugh secretly. Teacher, if you don't want to. No one can and no one dares to force you to study quantum field theory, but it seems that you are completely enjoying it, and you are full of enthusiasm and motivation to build such a system.

Of course. Lucien understands very well that the establishment of quantum field theory will definitely go through a long and tortuous process from the beginning of "quadratic quantization", because at present, there is an inevitable major problem in computing - the infinite amount caused by divergence, which needs to be solved by slowly exploring new mathematical methods, and this is only one of the more significant difficulties.

"After this period of research, we have preliminarily established a quantum field theory in a general sense, but it has so many flaws that we are ready to publish it in advance so that more people can discuss it. Brooke's cheerful and contemplative answer was exactly what Lucien had expected, "I just happened to meet you, and I happened to have some questions to discuss together." ”

He unceremoniously extended the invitation.

Fernando, who has never concealed his feelings, fell slightly with a slight expression, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn infinity!"

Lucien did not refuse, and he was always happy to participate in similar arcane discussions, which helped him to truly and thoroughly transform the knowledge in the soul library into the knowledge he possessed.

Taking their drafts, Lucien skimmed them quickly and muttered, "Not relativistic quantum field theory?"

"This is a plan for the future, and now we will solve the problem in a general sense, and if you are interested, we can discuss it often. Brooke didn't hide it, and the discussion in his mouth was clearly a discussion with authorship.

It seems that the teacher did not invite His Excellency the Speaker to join the discussion, perhaps because he was worried about Mr. Brooke's relationship with him, and Lucien judged from this, but Mr. Brooke was also right that the study should be done step by step.

"Douglas is busy preparing for his ultra-long-range space jump, and he has a lot of research himself, so he doesn't have time to be distracted by more areas, otherwise, he would be happy to do similar work, and for now, for him, discovering planets may be more important than life......" Fernando said in a loud voice as if he had Lucien in mind, and he did not shy away from Brooke being next to him.

Lucien had studied the content of the draft himself, so he quickly joined Fernando and Brooke in the conversation, and came up with some ideas that caught their eye.

Fernando and Brooke were not surprised by this, and they were the first to disbelieve that Lucien, who first proposed the quantization of electromagnetic fields, had not studied this aspect.

In this atmosphere of discussion, time passed quickly, and Brooke stood up with satisfaction and picked up his cane: "Although the main problem still stands in front of us like the Cult of Truth, there is finally progress, Fernando, at the end of the month, I will put this paper forward so that more Arcanists can see it, and I hope they can come up with more strange but useful ideas." ”

After the exchange just now, he understood that Lucien also did not have the idea of solving the most important problems, of course, this level of difficulty, he has been prepared for a year or two, seven or eight years can not be solved, such a situation, he has experienced a lot.

"It is estimated that there will be no more than a hundred arcanists within the Council who can understand and are interested in studying quantum field theory......" Fernando has always been known for his vicious mouth and provocative, "and they may have recently preferred the magical roots caused by the negative energy vacuum sea and the strange properties of microscopic particles, which satisfy all their fantasies." ”

"The negative energy vacuum sea, this is indeed a bit unrealistic, because it is difficult for us to imagine that we are living in a negative energy vacuum sea, but we can't sense its existence at all, but it's not impossible, hehe, the vacuum may not really be empty. "Lucian, what do you think of the vacuum sea of negative energy? It solves the problem of energy and matter of your magical conception. ”

"Actually, I have reservations about it. Lucien replied cautiously.

Brooke was obviously interested: "Do you have other ideas? It can't be the 'real world' that can't be studied for the time being, right?"

"I'm starting from the principle of uncertainty, Mr. Brooke, do you remember the tremendous fluctuations in energy that I described in that paper in a very short period of time?" Lucien did not have the same reservations as his students, but was honest about his direction of exploration, which could not be concealed from the teacher.

"Vacuum fluctuations?" Sure enough, Fernando asked directly.

Brooke paused for a moment, and also recalled: "Since time and energy are a pair of quantities that conform to the principle of indeterminity, the more certain time is, the more uncertain the energy, and in a very short time frame, because of the principle of indeterminacy, even in a vacuum, there will be a huge amount of energy suddenly gushing out and then suddenly disappearing, on average, in accordance with the law of conservation of energy and difficult to be sensed......"

This is even more unrealistic than the negative energy vacuum sea, the space around us has been fluctuating waves of energy, but it is not inducted and unaffected!

"It can be described as an undulating sea of energy. Lucien's description of it is close to the vacuum of the negative energy state, which is easy to understand.

Fernando did not reject the uncertainty principle, he objected to Lucian's description of its intrinsic properties of matter, and believed that there were other causes that led to the uncertainty principle, so he did not rant about the "undulating sea of energy", but said seriously: "This can also explain the source of energy, and it has something to do with the field theory we are studying, and I think that if we continue to study, we can propose a new model that includes antiparticles." ”

"In our previous research, the electric field strength and the magnetic field strength became a pair of quantities that conform to the uncertainty principle, which means that they cannot be zero at the same time, so there are also undulating electromagnetic fluctuations around us?" Brooke remembered his previous research.

Lucien nodded, "Theoretically. ”

Brooke said seriously and slightly excitedly: "Then maybe you can design an experiment to observe this electromagnetic fluctuation, if this is the case, the vacuum is really wonderful!"

After he left in high spirits, Fernando said to Lucien, "In the discussion just now, I think you don't seem to have anything to say?"

Lucien smiled, "Mainly because we have some opinions on the definition of matter, since we have long regarded electromagnetic fields as matter, why not go further? Maybe field is a basic form of matter......"

"I'll think again. Fernando pinched his forehead.

Lucien saw that he was a little tired, so he offered to take his leave, at which point Fernando said sternly: "The observer effect is not a good theory, you better not get too obsessed." ”

Then, he was silent for a moment: "...... But your conjecture about the 'instability' of the fundamental level of matter, the conjecture of the source of energy and matter, and the conjecture of the vacuum-sea with ups and downs all have a certain value for research. ”

Lucien suddenly smiled, Teacher, if you want to praise me, just say it.
