It's important to run around for the Olympics, but you can't forget your old profession of physics.

Chen Muwu had just returned to Cavendish from London when his teacher, Rutherford, called him to his office.

"Chen, you're such a busy man! I heard that you went to London a while ago to participate in a swimming competition? ”

Seeing his beloved disciple again, whom he had not seen for a few days, Rutherford was in a happy mood.

There was Bohr in the front and Chen Muwu in the back, and he Lao Lu not only achieved academic results, but also did not lend himself much in teaching and educating people.

Chen Muwu thought that Rutherford was going to ask about the Cambridge-Oxford Combined Games swimming competition, so before the teacher could speak, he told Rutherford and Pan all the ins and outs of this matter like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Even the fact that he had already signed up for the Olympic Games, Chen Muwu said it.

"Awesome! I thought you were just an academic genius, but I didn't expect you to be an athlete! I'm wondering where to take my family on vacation this summer, and now it's time to make a decision to go to Paris and cheer up your swimming competition! The smile on Rutherford's face widened.

"Actually, I have another piece of good news for you today, a few days ago, the University of Victoria in Manchester, which was my old employer before I came to Cavendish Labs, sent me a reply letter agreeing to introduce me to past students and give me a chance to take the entrance exam.

"That is to say, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the compatriot you introduced fails to pass the entrance examination of any of the colleges of Cambridge University, there is now one more university that can cover for him."

Rutherford really thinks about his students, Chen Muwu just asked him for a place to study at Cambridge University, Rutherford not only nodded in agreement, but also intimately found a way back for them.

"Thank you, thank you, teacher, you really helped me a lot in this matter!"

"Chen, you don't have to be polite to me, train hard, prepare for the competition, and try to give us Cavendish Lab an Olympic gold medal back!

"We have a lot of Nobel Prizes in our laboratory, but this Olympic gold medal, we nerds can't win a piece, it's up to you!"

Rutherford said so, but the Nobel Prize has much more "gold content" than the Olympic gold medal.

The early Nobel Prize medals were made of gold of a purity of more than 23 carats, inside and out.

And the Olympic gold medal, which was pure gold only before 1912, has long since been replaced by cheap gold and silver.

……

Hearing Rutherford talk to him about letting students study in the UK, Chen Muwu thought that after the party, he was busy studying how to register for the Olympics.

Now that he was able to find time to return to Cavendish Lab to write his dissertation, Chen had long forgotten about his application for an admissions spot with Rutherford.

Back in the meeting room he was familiar with, Chen Muwu first picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Ye Qisun of the National Southeast University in Beijing.

In the letter, he didn't write so many red tape polite words, but went straight to the point and informed Ye Qisun that he had obtained a doctorate degree at Cambridge University and stayed in the school smoothly.

Then he pointed out the purpose of writing this letter, that is, to ask Ye Qisun to recommend one or two students with excellent academic performance, and he will fund them to travel from China to the UK, as well as a series of expenses such as studying and living in the UK.

As for the selection of students, they entrusted Ye Qisun to decide by himself, and there was no need to write a reply letter to Chen Muwu to confirm.

In addition, there is a ticket to the UK, if you can't afford it, you can also go to Nanyang University in the sea and find Chen Muwu's eldest brother Chen Muqiao to find a way.

Chen Muwu wrote another letter home, informing his eldest brother that there was such a situation.

Don't panic when someone does come to your door, just give them the ticket money.

I believe that the eldest brother, who values his family and country first, has no reason to refuse again after seeing his letter.

Chen Muwu wrote this letter with a strong purpose, he did not cast a wide net on the two schools of Shao University, Nanyang and Fushan, but directly wrote it to Ye Qisun of National Southeast University, in fact, he fell in love with one of his students.

As the ancestor of his previous life, Zhao Zhongyao's failure to win the Nobel Prize has always been a difficult feeling in Chen Muwu's heart.

Now that there is an opportunity, Chen Muwu is naturally the first to think of him.

There should be no problem for him to win the positron physics prize this time.

And calculating the time, Zhao Zhongyao should be following Ye Qisun as a teaching assistant at Southeast University in Nanjing at this time.

It wasn't until he followed Ye Qisun out of Southeast University and went to Tsinghua University together that Zhao Zhongyao was admitted to Gengzi Indemnity to study in the United States.

There is still a one-year time lag between these two events, and if you don't cut off your beard at this time, when will you wait?

It was too expensive to shoot a telegram from Cambridge to St. Mary, and the price of sending these words at the telegraph office was estimated to pay for a ferry ticket from the sea to Marseille.

Anyway, Cambridge University only opened in October, and this letter will reach its destination by the Trans-Siberian Railway at the latest, which is plenty of time.

……

After writing the letter, Chen Muwu took out his old buddy, the typewriter, from the cabinet.

You can't afford to slack off in your training for the Olympics, and you can't afford to leave your essay behind.

Therefore, Chen Muwu is ready to do both, and the schedule he has planned for himself is to write papers in Cavendish laboratory every morning, and then go to the Cam River for training in the afternoon.

Chen Muwu was thinking in his mind that he would try to send at least one more paper to the Annals of Physics before leaving Cambridge for Paris.

However, regarding the content of this paper, Chen Muwu has a new idea.

So he pressed a new piece of typing paper under the ink ribbon of his typewriter and typed the line "Zur Quantenmechanik (About Quantum Mechanics)" in German in the center of the top.

The tone of the title is really loud, as if to tell the reader directly that this is going to be a founding paper.

But Chen Muwu does have the capital to write it.

The wave equation or something stepped aside first, and after thinking about it, Chen Muwu still decided to get matrix mechanics out first.

Later, he carefully sorted out the development process of quantum mechanics and found that the reason why Schrödinger was able to rely on his equations to leave a strong mark in the history of quantum mechanics was not only because of his half-dead cat, but also because of the timing of the equation.

When Heisenberg came up with a theory of quantum mechanics, and Born and Jördang happened to think of using the mathematical form of matrix to describe this new idea, it was a great mathematical shock to the physicists of the time.

The matrix is something that evolved from the process of solving a system of multivariate equations, and is basically a purely mathematical tool.

Calculus, on the other hand, was born to solve physical problems.

Therefore, matrices are not like calculus and physics, except for the study of geometric optics, occasionally some people use matrix optics to do some calculations.

But at other times, few people introduce this mathematical tool into physics.

So when they heard that a new theory had been proposed that could explain the spectrum of hydrogen atoms, most of the physicists at that time, who were not so well versed in mathematics, rushed into the library like crazy, just to find out what a matrix was.

But after studying for a long time, we still don't know much about the mathematical tool matrix.

It was at this time that Schrödinger's wave equation was born.

Although physicists are too new to the matrix, they are very familiar with the theory of the wave equation, that is, the partial differential equation.

Therefore, the wave equation proposed by Schrödinger was like a savior at the beginning, and it was not too much to even make others shout "my superman".

After thinking about it, Chen Muwu decided to write an article on matrix mechanics first, which brought some small mathematical shocks to physicists.

The line he typed on his typewriter synthesized Heisenberg's first paper, "On the Reinterpretation of Quantum Theory of the Relationship between Kinematics and Mechanics," and Born's and Jörden's second paper, "On Quantum Mechanics."

Chen Muwu plans to wait until the atmosphere of matrix mechanics is in place, and then let the paper on wave dynamics come out, and finally prove that matrix mechanics and wave dynamics are actually equivalent.

He is the one who ties the bell, and he is the one who unlocks the bell.

In this way, no one can shake the position occupied by Chen Muwu in the establishment of the new quantum theory.

Chen Muwu's fingertips flew up and down, typing one character after another on the keyboard.

"Theoretical quantum mechanics is based entirely on the relationship between observable measurements in principle, and this article will try to build its foundations on this basis.

"Well-known ......"

……

The progress of Chen Muwu's writing of this paper is very slow compared with the previous ones.

On the one hand, this is because there are a large number of matrices and formulas in the paper that cannot be typed by a typewriter and require him to write by hand.

On the other hand, he only has half a day a day to write a thesis, and the remaining half a day is devoted to training in Kanghe.

During the period when Chen Muwu inquired about the registration for the Olympic Games and went to the legation in London to complete the graduation procedures, Best and the members of the swimming club spent several days finally digging a simple 50-meter by 5-meter standard-length swimming pool by the River Cam.

They also put a mosaic of cement on the walls of the pond and channeled water from the River Cam into the pond through a waterway.

When Chen Muwu wore his new swimming trunks and walked by the pool by the River Cam for the first time, it also caused quite a commotion.

Although 99 percent of the students at Cambridge University are men, and the swimming club is all men, there are still many people who do not see him dressed in such an "immoral" way.

Even President Best couldn't help but ask him why he came to the pool dressed like this.

Chen Muwu briefly explained the problem of friction, but then thought that it was better to see than to hear, so he simply jumped into the pool and motioned for Best to record the time for him.

Facts speak louder than words, and whether or not these swim trunks will help improve your swimming speed will be known by giving it a try.
