While Chen Muwu was working hard in the Cavendish laboratory, the new issue of Nature Weekly had quietly hit the market.

Different people have different opinions on Chen Muwu's paper on "Chen's incompatibility principle" and "electron spin" published above.

Like Lorenz, Bohr had heard of the half-quantum number conjecture for a long time, having read Lande's paper and had written to him a few years earlier.

Sommerfeld introduced one of his students, Heisenberg, who, when he was looking through his earlier papers, thought that if he introduced a half-integer to quantum numbers, he would solve the theoretical problem posed by the anomalous Zeeman effect.

According to Sommerfeld, this Heisenberg is also a genius, and he, like Sommerfeld's former student and his former assistant Pauli, only studied for three years after entering the university, and directly obtained a doctorate.

After Kramers left, Bohr, who was now lacking an assistant, extended his claws to Heisenberg, far away in Germany.

In March of this year, Bohr invited Heisenberg, who had already completed his PhD, to Copenhagen during the holidays and took him with him for a three-day hike in the Danish forest.

During this excursion, Bohr showed the side of a mentor and a friend.

Not only did he take Heisenberg to visit the palace where Hamlet lived in legend, but he also talked freely with the young man, talking about everything in heaven and on earth.

Bohr has also been bothered by the fact that the building of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, which was built a few years ago, is now empty as the number of students continues to grow.

He got another sum of money from the Carlsberg Foundation and bought a vacant lot next to the institute to expand it.

So he stayed in Copenhagen for the rest of the spring to oversee the work, so he didn't make it to the Solvay conference in Brussels at the end of April.

This excursion with Heisenberg was a "stealing three days of leisure" for him, allowing Bohr to temporarily breathe a sigh of relief from the pressure of site supervision.

It was this excursion that convinced Bohr that Heisenberg was a good candidate for assistantship, and he decided to help Heisenberg apply for a scholarship to come to Copenhagen for research.

Bohr's invitation made Heisenberg, the epicenter of the economic depression, very happy.

As long as he gets a sum of money from Bohr, he should be able to support his family in addition to his daily expenses.

Within days of sending Heisenberg off and letting him pack his bags back to Germany, Bohr received the latest issue of Nature.

He read Chen Muwu's paper from beginning to end, and realized that the fourth quantum number was not a half integer, but only two numbers, one half and one minus half.

Although in terms of the particle nature of light before, there was some unpleasantness between Bohr and Chen Muwu.

But Bohr now feels that this junior brother he has never met is simply his greatest blessing.

Chen Muwu first proposed that electrons have waves, and made a perfect explanation for several assumptions in his atomic model.

Then, now he proposed a fourth quantum number and explained it, further refining the interpretation of the electron orbital in the atomic model.

Bohr felt that although Chen Muwu was now a student in the Cavendish laboratory, his theoretical achievements were far superior to his experimental discoveries.

Other experimentalists do almost exactly the same work every day by discovering a phenomenon by chance, just to be able to summarize a law, and then hope to find a corresponding explanation for this law.

Chen Muwu is different, he basically takes the theory first every time, even if he can occasionally do a few experiments, and these experiments are just for the sake of theory.

Bohr felt that Chen Muwu was a condescending person to stay in Cavendish's laboratory with his teacher Rutherford.

He considered whether he should wield his little hoe and dig up his direct junior brother to the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen.

But this time, Bohr still only accepted half of Chen Muwu's paper.

He thinks it's clever to come up with a fourth quantum number to explain atomic orbitals, but the idea of electron spin is stupid.

If an electron really has a spin, then the linear velocity on its surface is not more than the speed of light?

Bohr did not attend the Solvay conference, and Chen Muwu was lazy because he was writing on the ship, so he did not include the explanation of the relativity theory of electron spin in his paper.

So it made him make the same mistake that Lorenz made at the meeting.

But this time, fortunately, Bohr did not make a spur-of-the-moment incident similar to the BKS paper, and publicly refuted Chen Muwu's theory in the magazine.

He chose to pick up the pen and write a letter to Chen Muwu, and in the body of the letter, he euphemistically brought it up, and found a "small" error in his thesis.

……

Bohr shared Pauli's view.

When he received the new issue of Nature, Pauli was still immersed in the sadness of watching the movie.

He was a Chaplin fan, so when he heard that his idol had a new movie that would be released in a nearby theater, Pauli couldn't wait to see one.

As a result, this "A Woman in Paris" movie produced by United American Film Company, not only did Chaplin not appear, but only became a director, but it was also a rare tragedy of Zhuo.

Although the movie has been watched for two days, Pauli still can't get out of that mood.

So when he finished reading Chen Muwu's paper, he completely ignored the first half of the paper, which should have been named after him and belonged to his own theory.

Instead, it fired directly at the electron spin in the second half.

Pauli was very reluctant to this seemingly ridiculous theory, he did not believe that electrons had intrinsic angular momentum, and he did not want to retain any classical concepts in quantum theory.

Although he once served as Bohr's assistant in Copenhagen, Denmark, Pauli never agreed so much with Bohr's old quantum theory of semi-classical and semi-quantum.

He even complained about Bohr's theory as "a fallacy from Copenhagen" in a personal correspondence with a friend.

As for this paper by Chen Muwu in the journal Nature, Pauli even picked up the blank space of the paper and wrote "This idea is clever, but nature cannot be like this, N. E. W." annotations.

“N. E. W.” It's not new, it's an abbreviation of "Not Even Wrong".

In addition to pride, the poisonous tongue is also one of Pauli's characteristics.

If he says to you, "Oh, there's nothing wrong with that," he's not sarcastic, he's complimenting.

Pauli also divides criticism of others into three levels: "Wrong", "Very Wrong", and "Not Even Wrong".

The score for Chen Muwu's paper happened to be the last grade.

Putting down the Nature journal, the arrogant "Whip of God" smiled.

also said that Chen Muwu is a Chinese genius, and now it seems that it is nothing more than Erer!

Einstein's vision is really the same as his physical level, and even his physical level is inferior.

Pauli always thought that he was smarter than Einstein when he was a child, so he always thought that Einstein was inferior to himself.

In his heart, there were only two and a half people who could be respected by Pauli.

One was his teacher Sommerfeld and the other was Bohr of Copenhagen.

The remaining half was another student of Sommerfeld, his junior disciple.

……

However, Pauli's younger brother, Bohr's new assistant, Heisenberg, became interested in Chen Muwu's paper.

He even wrote a letter to Muwu Chen in Cavendish Labs, praising the principle of incompatibility and the theory of electron spin.

He also thinks it's a great job to be able to use electron spin and orbital coupling to explain the fourth quantum number.

But Heisenberg did not understand how to use this spin theory to explain the extra factor 2 in the two-line formula.

……

While Bohr and Heisenberg's letters were still adrift on the mail route, Chen Muwu and Kapitsa had already completed the Sch-Ge experiment using the ground-state hydrogen atoms.

It's really cool to do this experiment without having to design it yourself, but only need to improve on the basis of predecessors.

And even if the Cavendish lab is poor, it is richer than the Germany where Stern and Grach were two years ago.

Now that the experiment has achieved the expected results, then Chen Muwu's next work is only to complete this graduation thesis independently.

Before, Best came to the laboratory almost every day to find Chen Muwu and asked him to find time to swim in the Kang River and warm up.

Kapitsa also advised him to go, just stay and stare at the vacuum pump by himself, after all, the whole experiment took the most time, and that was the machine.

But in the end, this is his own graduation project, and it is really inappropriate to just pat his ass and leave as a shopkeeper, so Chen Muwu always refuses Best's invitation again and again.

As a result, Best, who did not give up, came to Chen Muwu every day before the Cavendish laboratory finished work at six o'clock, and grasped the progress of his experiment in real time.

Chen Muwu is the only face of their Cambridge University swimming and water polo club this year, and there is no room for accidents.

Although Chen Muwu regretted it, he was helpless.

Because at the beginning, it was he who took the initiative to ask to join the Cambridge University Swimming Club, just for the 100 pounds athlete scholarship.

But now it's different from the past, he can spend 4,000 pounds to set up a publishing house at will, and after getting used to spending lavishly, this 100 pounds will not be taken into his eyes.

But he had promised Best before, and it was difficult for him to change his words and refuse.

A few days later, Chen Muwu finally finished the experiment on this hydrogen atom, and he had no reason to escape.

Chen Muwu could only follow Best, and three days before the start of the game, he went to the Kang River to warm up.
