When Bohr's reply was still adrift on the sea, Chen Muwu was the first to receive a letter from Einstein.

Since the Eddington beating, a mysterious Chinese man has appeared in British newspapers.

This was followed by a fire on the concept of time travel and a protracted debate among physicists over the wave-particle duality of light.

No matter what he is, Chen Muwu has always been the central figure, so after he arrived in the UK, he has always maintained a bit of popularity in the newspapers.

Knowing Chen Muwu's name and knowing that his work unit was Cavendish at Cambridge University, the letters sent to him from Tiannan and Haibei gradually increased.

Most of the senders of these letters were not physicists, but ordinary newspaper readers.

Some of them wrote to ask questions about time travel, and some even claimed to have designed a time machine, asking Chen Muwu to help see if his design was feasible.

There was also a handful of letters from racists, and the contents of the letterhead were filled with all sorts of unsightly swearing.

However, Chen Muwu, as a person, will not turn around and bite the dog again after being bitten by a dog, and he also has no desire to scold these unsatisfactory scum at the bottom.

Chen Muwu just burned the letters of these ghosts who blasphemed papermaking, one of the four great inventions.

All that remains are a few sporadic letters, sent from universities and laboratories around the world, containing normal academic exchanges.

Einstein's letter is one of them.

After receiving the prize from Sweden and returning to Berlin, Einstein also read two papers on photon statistics published by Chen Muwu in the Annals of Physics in August.

Einstein was fond of these two papers, which belonged to him in the original space-time, because they solved two problems that had previously bothered him.

He thought about it, since he and Chen Muwu hurriedly met in the sea on New Year's Day this year, he had not made any contact with this Chinese genius.

Einstein did not complain at all about Chen Muwu's intention to cross the river and tear down the bridge, after all, after leaving the sea, he himself had been adrift at sea for a long time, and his whereabouts were uncertain, and it was normal for Chen Muwu to fail to get in touch with him.

On the ship from Gothenburg, Sweden to Helsingør, Denmark, Einstein already learned from the mailing addresses of Chen Muwu's other two papers that he had entered the Cavendish laboratory.

Now that he has read two more papers that he "has a relationship with", Einstein felt that it was a wise choice to lead Chen Muwu out of that academic desert in the first place.

So Einstein also happily put pen to paper and sent a letter to Chen Muwu at Cambridge University, praising Chen Muwu for his belief that two photons with the same frequency cannot be distinguished, and the new statistical method proposed by Chen Muwu is really clever.

Chen Muwu, who received Einstein's letter, was very excited, because he had long wanted to write a letter to Einstein, and he didn't want to break the friendship established between him and this senior after meeting him in the sea.

It's just that Einstein has been running around for the past six months, and even if he wants to write a letter, he doesn't know where to send it.

Chen Muwu was very sincere in his reply, basically treating Einstein as a teacher, after all, if he hadn't promoted himself when he was in the sea, Chen Muwu would still be an unknown engineer singing the American labor song "I've Been Working on the Railroad".

However, Chen Muwu feels that the harmonious and friendly relationship between him and Einstein, both in personal and academic research, may not be able to last long.

Because he had a faint hunch in his heart that it was probably not Bohr who would debate with Einstein about "whether God rolls the dice or not" in this life, but himself.

……

Say Bohr, Bohr will arrive.

A few days later, when he opened the letter from Copenhagen and saw the question that Bohr had asked him at the end of the letter, Chen Muwu couldn't help but laugh, because he suddenly remembered an anecdote.

After visiting China to give lectures in 37 years, Bohr became fascinated by the circular Taiji diagram he saw when he visited the Taoist temple.

He believes that this image is an allusion to the complementary principle that he proposed in quantum mechanics, which is an important cornerstone of the Copenhagen School.

Later, Bohr was canonized as Lord Elephant Rider by the Danish royal family for his outstanding contributions to physics.

In the coat of arms he designed for his family, Bohr left the most prominent place in it to a half-black, half-red taijitu.

So in the reply letter to Bohr, Chen Muwu was full of fun.

After briefly introducing his intention to use electron diffraction experiments to verify his electron wave theory, he began to "make up" nonsense.

Chen Muwu typed several pieces of paper freely, from Fuxi to King Wen to Confucius to Zhou Dunyi, detailing what Tai Chi is.

He even picked up a compass and drew a Taiji diagram of negative yin and yang on stationery, and then focused on how he "obtained" the inspiration of "you have me, I have you" from the Taiji diagram that has been inherited for thousands of years, and finally "got inspired" that whether it is photons or electrons, and even everything is "both fluctuating and particle".

Chen Muwu's extremely bullshitty civil science statement, if it were listened to by others, he would definitely pout and disdain.

But he felt that the person receiving the letter on the other side was Bohr, and maybe it was really possible to bring him a little bit of a shock to China.

Even if he has not been able to deceive him now, he will still leave a small seed in Bohr's heart.

……

After Chen Muwu's paper on the wave of electrons was published in the journal Annals of Physics, the splash in the physics community was no smaller than when he used the particle nature of light to explain the problem of gamma ray scattering.

In the past six months or so, more and more physicists have gradually accepted Chen Muwu, who put forward a shocking point of view at every turn.

After all, physics is still an experimental science.

Although Chen Muwu's ideas were sometimes difficult to accept, it turned out that his views were always verified just right with the experimental results.

Only this time......

Is electron a wave?

How can electrons be a wave!

Most physicists, like Rutherford, feel that Chen Muwu's conjecture is too far-fetched.

Some people have even "found" the contradictions in Chen Muwu's theories before and after.

Because the gamma ray is regarded as an electromagnetic wave and cannot explain the conclusion of its scattering experiment, Chen Muwu clearly regards the reaction between light and electrons as an inelastic collision between two particles, a photon and an electron.

In Chan's scattering theory, electrons appear entirely as particles.

Now, Chen Muwu says that electrons are a kind of wave, so when he returns to gamma ray scattering, his theory of inelastic collision cannot be explained.

Since light is a wave and electrons are particles, the two cannot collide inelastically, so how does the inelastic collision between the two occur this time when light is a particle and electrons are waves?

What is the spear of the son, the shield of the trap?

Of course, the person who put forward this statement is completely vexatious, because Chen Muwu clearly stated in this paper that the electron has the duality of "being both a wave and a particle", and it is not black and white, saying that the electron is not a particle, but a wave.

At the forefront is still Bohr.

Unlike when Photon said it, he resolutely stood on Chen Muwu's side this time.

Bohr was against the particle theory of light waves before, and now he supports the wave theory of electrons.

He only waved his flag so hard because the theory explained his atomic model well.

In response to Chen Muwu's statement that "electrons are also a kind of wave", a local German reporter went to Berlin to interview Einstein.

After all, everyone knows that Chen Muwu can stand out from the Far East, and he can't do without the help of Einstein.

In this regard, Einstein's answer was very poetic, he said that Chen Muwu's idea "lifted a corner of the veil of mystery".

There are also British reporters who came to the David Faraday Research Laboratory under the Royal Institution to interview Professor William Bragg, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics with his son Lawrence Bragg for discovering the Bragg formula for the scattering of X-ray crystals.

Old Pragg's answer was very funny, he didn't say electron, but said that a small photon was already giving him a headache.

He couldn't figure out how light could be both a particle and a wave, and after thinking about it for a long time, he thought that maybe light was a particle on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and turned into a wave on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

On Sunday, Hikari may have to take a day off and maybe go to a local church.

However, as the initiator of throwing the stone "electron is a wave" into the calm surface of the lake of "physics", Chen Muwu does not have much time to pay attention to the criticism or praise of his new theory.

It's like when you play "Peace Elite", you are carried all the way by a great god teammate from the beginning of the parachute jump, but the great god suddenly lies motionless in the grass during the finals, and you don't respond to how you call him.

After losing the game, when you added friends and wanted to open your mouth to scold the street, you realized that this so-called god was actually just a primary school student.

And the reason why he lay on the ground and didn't move in the finals was just because at that time, the class bell just rang.

The time soon entered October, and Chen Muwu was also about to start school.

……

This past summer, a group of people in the Cavendish lab who had been with you all day and night left to return to their home countries or to teach at universities across the UK.

But at the same time, the laboratory has also been supplemented with a group of newcomers with sufficient desire for knowledge, and the inheritance of science is like this.

One day before the start of the school year, the head of the lab, Rutherford, asked Chadwick to gather all the professors, teachers, staff, and students from Cavendish up and down, and asked everyone to put on a suit and go to the Bursas Garden, which belonged to the Eucharistic College, not far from the gate of Cavendish Lab.

Since Rutherford took charge of Cavendish in office, in addition to the six-o'clock rule for leaving work on time, there has been a tradition of taking a group photo of the entire staff before the start of school each year.

In order to take today's photo, Chadwick also invited the best photographers in Cambridgeshire.

Naturally, the professors and teachers sat in the chairs in the front row, and Kapitsa, taking advantage of his short height, also squeezed into the second row of the crowd.

Chen Muwu and Blackett are stupid big people, so they can only obediently stand in the middle of the last row and use them as the background board for this photoshoot.

The photographer's head was buried in the cloth covered with the camera, and as the shutter opened and closed, a group photograph of all the staff of the Cavendish Laboratory in 1923 was left on the negative.

This is the first photo Chen Muwu left in Cavendish Sh, but it probably won't be the last.

……

After Capitsa had moved out of his room and into the bachelor's accommodation provided for him by Trinity College, Mrs. Brown accepted a new tenant from Cambridge University.

This meant that Chen Muwu had a new roommate, a taciturn young man from the South West of England.
