Inside the Commissioner's Office.

Marcus picked up the journal Nature that had fallen on his desk and read Dieppe's paper carefully from beginning to end.

This time, he was more focused and more focused than during the audit, so much so that most of the day passed before he tapped lightly on his desk with his black gloves: "If electrons are regarded as wave-like, then the problem of electron energy levels and orbits in the new alchemy has a direction to be explained, no wonder His Excellency Lucien Evans values Dieppe's hypothesis so much." ”

This is an inner thought, not afraid of being known by others, so Marcus, who instinctively dislikes the quantum theory of light, is reluctant to call Lucian Your Excellency, but when he thinks of this name, he will think of the important role of his theory of relativity in electromagnetic phenomena in motion systems, and the description of the nature of gravity that makes people have to admire and worship, so he subconsciously added another Excellency.

Either way, this hypothesis is too bold and must be confirmed by experiments. Marcus put down the journal Nature, left the commissioner's office, returned to his magic tower, and said to himself, "The authority and pillar of particle theory have to rely on such an unbelievable thing as electrons are waves to correct the energy levels and orbits of electrons, and perfect the new alchemy, which is really a wonderful irony.

For the arcanists who have been baptized again and again, if they blindly follow the opinions of others and believe them without verification, they will definitely not be able to live until now, so although Lucian is the famous Grand Arcanist, with the absolute authority that has been correctly shaped again and again, Marcus will not easily agree with his views. Everything depends on experimental phenomena or data, and the only effect of Lucian's editor's note is that he raises the highest level of attention to this paper, which is the closest way and path to the truth of the microscopic world.

If this experiment is really completed and the volatility of the electrons is verified, then he will get unimaginable rewards, and it is likely that he will share the feedback of the real world and the Evans Arcane Award with Dieppe!

Strength, reputation, future, and status will be greatly improved!

In the Magic Tower.

Yana looked at the "Nature" in front of him with a smile: "It's really unexpected, His Excellency Evans has given such a high evaluation, is it encouraging everyone to be open-minded?"

"Electrons are waves, and this is really a fantasy age, twenty or thirty years earlier. Who dares to say that atoms are waves. Whoever has to endure the ridicule of every Arcanist, and now, tsk......"

He didn't mean to laugh, but expressed the shaking of his heart with such words. Then his gaze drifted. Lost in thought. Ideas for designing experiments are sought.

Even the magicians of the electromagnetic faction who were so happy with Dieppe's assumption had such an attitude, not to mention other arcane masters who could not accept it.

Elemental Will HQ.

Larry, K, and Gaston also looked at this issue of Nature in a state of bewilderment. After a long while, Larry smiled wryly and said, "Am I being too conservative?" Or is this world changing so fast that we can't keep up with the times?"

"I don't think there's anyone in the whole council who can keep up with that. Gaston shook his head, "Lucien should have seen the dawn of solving the new alchemical electron distribution model from this hypothesis, which gave him a great evaluation, but he himself said that it must depend on experimental results and phenomena, and now all this is still blank, whether the electron is a wave or not is still unknown." ”

When he said this, whether it was Gaston who was speaking, or Larry and K who were listening, they all felt an indescribable strangeness, when something that was difficult to connect with the subject and object, such as "whether the electron is a wave" or not, was quietly mixed together.

It's like someone saying if humans are made up of waves.

K nodded, scratching the back of his head: "If we change our opinion just because of a hypothesis and Lucian's affirmation, then our opinion cannot be called an opinion, and all current experiments have fully verified the particle nature of electrons, there is no doubt about it." ”

"This is the arcane attitude we should have. Gaston recognized the authenticity and frowned slightly, if electrons were to be regarded as wave energy to solve the various problems of new alchemy, it would be considered an indirect verification of the truth.

Although starting from this assumption, it is not a matter of time to construct a theory and perfect a new alchemy, and the wave experiment of electrons is also showing signs of improvement due to the problem of wavelength, Gaston still can't help but worry about which of the two basic theories of the element and the material realm will he give up when the time comes? Particle theory or new alchemy?

"It's a time of so much change and weirdness that it's hard to get used to. Sighing secretly, Gaston decided that everything was based on experiments, and he could only grasp the pulse of the times in this way, ready to admit that the current model of particle theory and new alchemy was wrong, but in this way, before finding the way, his strength would probably stagnate.

Larry also sighed: "If it is really verified that the electron is a wave, I simply can't understand this world, what is wave-particle duality, why there is wave-particle duality, alas, it's not that I'm too stupid, but that kind of world is too crazy." ”

............

Inside the Atomic Research Institute.

Lazar, Heidi, Annick and others were all in a daze with the journal Nature, and it was rare that they did not enter the working state.

At this moment, Lucien, who came in from outside the door, woke them up at once, surrounded them, and Heidi, who had always been bold, asked eagerly, "Teacher, do you agree with Mr. Dieppe's electron wave hypothesis?"

"If light has wave-particle duality, it cannot be generalized to microscopic particles, and this can turn the quantization imposed on the new alchemy into an intrinsic property of electrons. Lucien, who didn't have time to take off his black top hat, thought about it and decided to clearly state the things that were not obvious in Dieppe's thesis, "You guys spread out first, and I'll explain it slowly." ”

An arcane master who specializes in electromagnetism and waves only needs to see Dieppe's paper and his own comments, and relate to the current situation of the bottleneck of the new alchemical theory, and can directly think of if the electron is a wave. What should be done with its orbital model, and whether it will naturally derive quantized energy levels and orbits.

With doubts, Heidi, Ophelia and the others slowly dispersed and followed Lucien into the conference room.

"First of all, this is an unproven hypothesis, and we have to be highly skeptical, and I am glad that you will not blindly believe my comments. Lucien first affirmed the attitude of Annick, Lowe and others, which eased their impatience a lot.

Lucien placed his top hat on the conference table: "But that doesn't mean we can't try to apply this hypothesis to solve some problems virtually to broaden our minds." If this assumption is a good answer to some of the current contradictions. Then we have to go back to this assumption and give it more attention, and that's what I'm making based on. ”

“...... If electrons are to be regarded as standing waves, then they must have orbits integer times their wavelength to exist when they are bound around the nucleus. So. Quantized orbitals are no longer imposed on electrons. It's its own intrinsic attributes......"

Listening to Lucian's words, Sprint and the other arcanists who participated in the debate and refinement of the new alchemy all nodded slightly, and the problem of imposing quantization that Hathaway accused of had always been something they could not avoid. And now there seems to be a direction to solve the problem, even Blake, Ophelia and other assistants who are less involved and mainly read and study papers also have similar feelings, but this direction, why should it be at the expense of particle theory.

"Teacher, all the experiments we have done have confirmed the particle nature of electrons without a doubt. Annick expressed his opinion tactfully but firmly.

Lucien smiled and nodded: "I have not denied the particle nature of electrons. ”

"Then how can it be volatile?" Sprint and Katrina asked, led by Annick.

Lucien laughed, "What is it that can show particle properties and get the classic diffraction and interference patterns?"

"It's likely that there are other reasons for the particles to exhibit wave behavior in some organizational form, such as positional vibrations, or it may be that the proponents of the wave theory believe that many waves are wrapped together to form nodes, thus exhibiting particle. "Annick is not shy or withdrawn when it comes to arcane discussions.

Lucien shook his head: "This may be possible, I want to correct a misunderstanding, waves and particles are the definitions we impose on electrons and light, they have never shouted that they are particles or they are waves, we can completely change a new term to call electrons, such as 'I can't imagine something in the form of existence', because its name is a symbol of artificial identification, and what can we really grasp? It is the result of experiments, what we actually observe, that is, what kind of properties they exhibit." ”

"Waves and particles are previously defined from empirical summaries, which may not be applicable to the microscopic world, and if we want to explore a new field, we must learn not to be bound by old experiences and thought patterns. ”

Seeing that the students and assistants were silent, Lucien smiled: "I'm here to attend the meeting of the Supreme Council, let's talk about this first, you can try to design experiments to test or disprove this hypothesis, it is still a hypothesis after all." ”

"Electronable wavelengths ......," Lazar said with a headache.

Lucien pointed to the books on the shelves of the institute: "You look at the content of crystals, Jerome should know very well, more than a year ago, Lord Morris accidentally irradiated the crystal with X-rays during an alchemy experiment, and discovered its diffraction phenomenon, and the wavelength of X-rays is very short, we can start from this aspect." ”

"The electronic ones are shorter than it. Roque muttered as he went to get the books, and the others each looked for information on crystal diffraction.

Lucien looked at their backs and shook his head, unless they were really blessed by Lady Luck, it would be difficult for them to discover the diffraction of electrons, because the current research on crystals by the Magic Council is deformed, very deformed, and the source of this lies in the lag and utilitarianism of the development of the field of mathematics and physics.

The study of crystals must be supported by group theory, which is based on the development of various mathematical fields, such as number theory, and the research of "group" and "number theory" by the Magic Council is still in a relatively low-level state, and Lucian did not deliberately guide them to develop in this direction, so the study of crystals only has some reverse analysis and accidental discoveries from magic, and there is no systematic theoretical support.

Fortunately, after the establishment of Levsky's geometry and the release of Nature, Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway, the Prophet, the Astrologer, Mina, Nesica, Samantha and other towering or non-towering arcanists all exerted their talents in the field of pure mathematics and physics, and made varying degrees of progress in number theory, groups and other things, but unfortunately because the time was still too short, they could not be initially constructed, and it would be almost the same for them to be given a few years or more than ten years.

Due to the delay at the institute, Lucien was almost counted down to enter the Supreme Council room, and the first thing he saw was the terrifying eyes of the teacher.

"Oops, the teacher won't suspect that I've completed the experiment, right?" Lucien thought it was very likely, in the teacher's mind, he had always been the one who was prepared to give a comment.

"There are no experiments to prove the volatility of electrons...... Hathaway suddenly spoke, looking at Lucien with indifferent but serious eyes, and all the members, including Helen and Vicente, looked at Lucien together.

Lucien exhaled softly, did he want to have an "exchange" about Dieppe's paper before the meeting?

This is really the "normal pattern" of the Supreme Council meeting...... (To be continued......)
