Chen Muwu quickly stood up, and he even ran to Oppenheimer's side.

"Robert, where's that ad you're talking about? Show me! Show me! ”

"Okay, Mr. Chen, let me look for it."

Chen Muwu took the twenty-fourth edition of the New York Times handed over by Oppenheimer, and the first thing that caught his eye was a fur advertisement that took up almost the entire page.

In the upper right corner of the page, there is a tofu block that takes up less than a tenth of the entire page, densely written with text, which should be the article published by the whimsical astronomer that Oppenheimer said:

"Spiral Nebulae Are in Fact Stellar Systems: Dr. Hubbell Confirms Their Idea of Being an "Island Universe" Similar to Our Own.

Washington, November 22.

"Dr. Edwin Hubbell of the Mount Wilson Observatory at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., using the observatory's powerful telescope, confirmed the idea that spiral nebulae in the sky in the form of rotating clouds are in fact distant star systems, or rather 'island universes.'"

“……”

It is estimated that the editor in charge of typesetting made a mistake, and in every place in the title and content of the article, Hubble's name was misspelled as Hubbell, so the name of the person became Hubbell.

But this did not prevent Chen Muwu from being able to identify that this Hubbell was Pi Hubble.

Whether it was his name, Edwin, his place of work, the Mount Wilson Observatory, or the headline of this "news", it all ultimately pointed to that person was Hubble.

But why didn't Hubble publish his own discovery in an academic journal of astronomy, but first publish it in the New York Times?

And looking at this meaning, Hubble is probably still like Oppenheimer said, he publishes it at his own expense, after all, except for his "press release", everything else on this page is advertising.

Hubble Space Telescope.

Hubble asteroid No. 2069.

Hubble crater on the moon.

……

In Chen Muwu's memory, with the blessing of the space telescope, Hubble should be the greatest astronomer of the 20th century.

However, the actual situation today is somewhat different from the impression in Chen Muwu's mind.

The current Hubble has no say in the American astronomy community at all, he is just a rookie who has just devoted himself to astronomy research for five years, and an ordinary staff member of the Mount Wilson Observatory who is no different from others.

In the current mainstream astronomical and philosophical understanding, the Milky Way is the universe and the universe is the Milky Way, and the two are equivalent.

But Hubble's observations disprove this perception.

The distance between the Andromeda nebula and the Earth is much larger than the radius of the Milky Way.

This shows that the Milky Way is not a universe and that there are still star systems like the Milky Way outside of the Milky Way in which we live.

Although in 1920, there was a great debate in the American astronomical community on this matter.

Traditionally, there is support for the idea that the galaxy is the universe.

The emerging side, on the other hand, supports "there are stars beyond the galaxy".

In that big debate, the two sides basically had a five-five fight, and neither could convince the other.

But after that debate, the traditional spokesman, Harrow Shapley, was appointed director of the Harvard Observatory shortly after.

Later generations said that the reason why Shapley became the spokesman of the traditional side and supported the Milky Way as the universe was actually a vote to the conservative American astronomical community, so that he could enter the Harvard University Observatory as he wished.

Hubble's observations are extremely "perverse" for the current astronomical community.

If he had taken his results to discuss with his colleagues, he would probably have responded not with a calm academic argument, but with a direct notice of dismissal.

And publishing this result in an astronomical journal is estimated to be a wall everywhere, and it will not be able to pass the peer review hurdle at all, and can only receive countless rejection letters that have been printed a long time ago.

That's why Hubble ingeniously published the results of his observations and calculations in the New York Times at his own expense.

As for why his name was misspelled, it's a historical mystery.

Finally seeing this news that had haunted him for many days, Chen Muwu was very excited.

I didn't expect that the interview article after winning the Nobel Prize actually appeared in the same day as the advertisement that Hubble bought for his own research findings, which is really a coincidence.

Perhaps God threw a leopard at the time of the dice roll that day, so that the two texts were arranged together.

It's a pity that Hubble's article in the New York Times did not give specific data on the distance of each galaxy from the Earth, which is equivalent to just announcing this phenomenon to the world.

That's not a good thing.

The "New York Times" in Chen Muwu's hand was published and distributed on 23 November.

But that doesn't mean that today is the 24th or 25th, in fact it's the last day of November.

Because the New York Times, printed in the United States, had to be loaded onto ships in the harbor and cross the Atlantic before it could be delivered to Chen Muwu in Copenhagen.

Naturally, this part of the trip will also take a week.

The Nobel Prize ceremony will be held on the 10th of next month, from Copenhagen to Stockholm, leaving at least two days to spare on the way.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Chen Muwu, and if he wants to get the specific data of the distances of each galaxy before the award ceremony, he must write to Hubble to ask for it.

And it must be too late to write a letter, so you can only send a telegram.

Chen Muwu did not go to the Legation of the People's Republic of China in Denmark again this time to trouble Xu Zhaoxiong, two telegrams sent to the United States, and there were not a few words, these small sums of money are not worth taking another favor.

The reason why they were two telegrams was because Chen Muwu didn't know where Hubble was now.

Is it at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, or at the Mount Wilson Observatory in Pasadena, California?

For the sake of insurance, Chen Muwu felt that it would be better to send them to both places.

Watching Chen Muwu leave in a hurry after reading this page of the newspaper made Oppenheimer surprised again.

Why is he in such a hurry?

Could it be that he saw a fur advertisement in the newspaper and planned to get one to wear?

Not to mention, with his teacher's height, body shape and appearance, he can control any clothes he wears.

……

At the Carnegie Institute, Hubble is making final preparations.

He plans to present his latest findings to his peers at the American Astronomical Society's New Year's meeting a month later.

So instead of returning to Los Angeles, California, he stayed in Washington, D.C., to write a speech for the upcoming New Year's Day speech.

When he finished reading Chen Muwu's telegram from Copenhagen, Hubble was a little "at a loss for words."

Chen Muwu said in the telegram that he was on the side of Hubble and on the side of truth.

He also cited a Chinese proverb that "there is a sky beyond the sky" to firmly support the idea that there are other galaxies beyond the Milky Way.

After that, Chen Muwu asked Hubble for specific data on each galaxy.

And he also told Hubble in a telegram that Chen Muwu is willing to announce Hubble's major discovery to the world at the upcoming Nobel Prize ceremony if he can get the authorization of the discoverer.

Hubble didn't expect his new discovery to drift across the Atlantic and spread to Europe so quickly.

And on the other side of the ocean, there were people who soon stood up to support themselves.

This person is not an unknown person, but Chen Muwu, the new Nobel laureate in physics, the discoverer of the ninth planet in the solar system, and has made great achievements in physics and astronomy.

In the last few years of the American scientific community, Chen Muwu was young, but his academic status was also very high.

And this Chen Muwu, who had nothing to do with himself before, actually expressed his willingness to announce this big discovery at the Nobel Prize ceremony.

The content on the telegram really flattered Hubble.

The Nobel Prize ceremony attracted much more attention than a regular meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

Although there is no radio broadcast, there will be a large number of journalists from all over the world who will follow this annual scientific event throughout the process.

If Chen Muwu can really announce this major discovery of his Hubble to the world at the award ceremony.

Either way, it would be a great honor.

The key is that maybe the results of my work in recent years will be accepted by the world smoothly.

The stubborn old guys of the American Astronomical Society may no longer blindly deny the matter of extragalactic galaxies, but will have to weigh it carefully.

Hubble, who was so excited that he didn't know what to do, immediately found out the data he had measured, ran to the telegraph office, and sent a return call to the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Copenhagen according to the telegram address left by Chen Muwu.

The reason why he was so anxious was, of course, because Chen Muwu noted at the end of the call that time was urgent, and he might leave Denmark soon and go to Sweden to receive the award.

If Hubble doesn't get back on the power in time, he's likely to miss this opportunity.

……

In the end, Chen Muwu still got the specific data of the distance of these galaxies without danger.

Hubble sent the distances of 17 galaxies, 14 of which were among the 25 nebulae that Greave's 1917 paper observed.

The remaining three galaxies were seen for the first time, and because there was no corresponding speed, they could only be excluded by Chen Muwu.

Now that the speed and distance are available, the data that can reveal that the universe is expanding is in Chen Muwu's hands, and he can finally carry out this upcoming speech as originally planned.

But he may not have much time right now, because the guests who went to Stockholm for the awards ceremony have already gathered in Copenhagen.

Kapitsa and his entourage, who set off from the UK, followed Chen Muwu's old path.

They also left the UK by boat from Norwich Harbor, but did not abandon ship and disembark in Helsingør, Denmark, but went directly to Gothenburg, a port city on the North Sea coast of Sweden, and then took a train from Gothenburg directly to Stockholm, instead of coming to Copenhagen to join Chen Muwu.

But apart from them, whether it was Blackett from Göttingen, Germany, or de Broglie, Ye Gongchao and Eve from Paris, France.

If they wanted to go to Sweden, they would have to go to sea from the German port of Rostock, first to the Danish port of Geisser, then to Copenhagen, then across the Øresund Strait to Malmö in Sweden, and finally to Stockholm by train from Malmö.

Copenhagen is on the way to this route.

Blackett, who arrived first, has not seen each other for seven or eight months since they parted in Brussels in April.

Although Blackett and his old friend Chen Muwu couldn't wait to hug the latter after they met.

But after meeting Bohr and others, Blackett still showed the same woodenness and lack of words as ever.

It seems that the dull Germans in Göttingen have not changed his character.

Blackett and Oppenheimer, the "destined doomer" in his previous life, also shook hands politely.

But unlike in his previous life, Oppenheimer immediately respected this stupid big British man after learning that Blackett, like Kapitsa, was Chen Muwu's best friend at Cambridge University.

"Chen, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize! Oh yes, I should call you Dr. Chan now. I didn't expect you to arrive at Cambridge University later than me, enter the Cavendish laboratory late, and put on that enviable doctor's hat first. ”

"Thank you, Patrick."

Fortunately, Blackett once said in a letter to Chen Muwu that he expected to graduate with a doctorate next year, otherwise this topic would be really embarrassing.

"By the way, I didn't go home empty-handed this time."

After the greetings, Blackett put his hand in the inner pocket of his suit.

He fumbled for a long time, and what he took out was not a gift box, but an envelope.

"I heard that I was coming to your award ceremony, which Professor Max Born of the University of Göttingen specially found and handed me before leaving, and he wanted to invite you to visit Göttingen for half a month after receiving the Nobel Prize.

"He also told me that Professor Einstein is also looking forward to your visit to Germany, and if you do end up going to Göttingen, Einstein will be there from Berlin, and he can't wait to meet you."

Chen Muwu smiled bitterly after hearing this, where did Einstein want to meet him?

He clearly wanted to ask the teacher for the crime, and even went to Göttingen to order and kill himself online.

If he hadn't given a speech against the cosmological constants in Einstein's field equations at the upcoming award ceremony, maybe Chen Muwu would really want to accept Born's invitation to fight with Einstein a few times, and by the way, play mahjong with him, and win back the money he had to pay back to the UK.

But Chen Muwu is about to give Einstein a "big gift", and this side is really impossible to see.

He was afraid that after meeting Einstein, the other party would either be red-eyed or red-faced, or both.

Chen Muwu decided to return to the United Kingdom, of course, or France, after the award ceremony, and let Einstein dry for a while, and then explain to him slowly.

"Patrick, it's no coincidence that I have promised Sir Rutherford to return to England before the end of the year and go with him for Christmas.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Göttingen for an appointment this time, and I'll write a letter to Professor Born tonight to apologize and inform him of this regretful news."

Bohr, director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, who accompanied Chen Muwu to receive the guests, was not interested in Blackett, a young experimental physicist from Göttingen.

However, he keenly captured the message in the conversation between the two.

At first, he also studied and worked with Rutherford for a few years, but why didn't the teacher invite him to his home for Christmas once?

His heart was a little jealous.

……

Before leaving Paris, de Broglie had already sent a telegram to Chen Muwu, informing him of the expected arrival time in Denmark.

But Eve has always been kept in the dark, and she always thinks that her visit to Copenhagen this time is a surprise for Chen Muwu.

So after arriving at the gate of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Eve began to hunch over and follow behind the wide Ye Gongchao.

She hoped that when they met, she would scare Mr. Chen, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, as punishment for not being diligent enough in writing letters to herself after he left France.

"Brother Hanchen, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really want to annoy my little brother!"

Until now, Ye Gongchao didn't know Chen Muwu's "good intentions" in inviting him to Denmark.

Although Ye Gongchao doesn't understand physics, he has been immersed in Europe and the United States since he was a child, and naturally understands the gold content of the Nobel Prize.

So as soon as they met, Ye Gongchao strode towards Chen Muwu.

"Gongchao, how are you studying in France? You wrote those two copies, but they sold out in England for great success. Give me an account and I'll have someone call you the agreed amount. ”

"The main thing is that Brother Hanchen's creativity and ideas are really good, and the little brother is just a little bit of a force."

Ye Gongchao, who suddenly learned that he had made a windfall, was of course very happy.

It's just that he completely forgot that Eve told him to slow down before he entered the door.

So now there is a very embarrassing situation: Chen Muwu and Ye Gongchao shook hands in front of them, and Eve, who was hunched, neither advanced nor retreated, and Debro on the side looked at the jokes on the field happily.

Ivus, who blushed, simply broke the jar and broke it, and jumped in front of Chen Muwu in three steps and two steps.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, long time no see!"

She spoke English this time.

The kind-hearted Chen Muwu didn't intend to expose the "surprise" that Eve had prepared for himself, he still pretended to be very surprised.

"Eve, why are you here?"

While greeting each other, the two came to a hug in the French way.

This made Bohr on the side stunned.

According to the information sent back by Heisenberg, who had already returned home for Christmas, Chen Muwu should be an upright person who is not close to women.

At the welcome ball held especially for him, he didn't invite even a single dance from the girls in Copenhagen.

Except for chatting with Yoshio Nishina, who had left the institute, he had been sitting in the lecture hall for several hours.

At first, Bohr thought that this was a unique tradition of the Orientals, which made Chen Muwu a little restrained in front of women.

Unexpectedly, today, he saw the other side of Chen Muwu's incomparably enthusiastic side.

Bohr felt that his junior brother was really unfathomable.

But one thing to say, this little girl is indeed very beautiful and smart, standing with Chen Muwu, she can be called a match made in heaven.

I don't know whose girl it is, and I don't know who is cheaper than who if these two people are dating.

This meeting ended up being a happy ending.

As the host of Copenhagen, Bohr wanted to arrange for the group to stay in the same hotel where Heisenberg had taken Pauli last time.

Unexpectedly, the Frenchman, who had been standing by silently since the beginning, suddenly spoke: "Professor Bohr, don't bother, I have already asked the servant to open a room in the best hotel in the city." ”

De Broglie is just stating a fact, after all, as a nobleman, he has always been the best of the best when traveling.

But in Bohr's heart, he had a very bad opinion of this old Frenchman.

Isn't there just a few stinky money! If you hadn't hugged the thigh of your junior brother Chen Muwu and picked up an electron diffraction experiment by luck, who knows who you De Broglie is?

Although there will be no more Copenhagen School in this life, Bohr and de Broglie are still on opposite sides of each other.

……

Now that everyone is here to make their way to Stockholm and the day of the awards ceremony is fast approaching, there is no reason to stay here in Copenhagen.

Chen Muwu's original planned route was to go north from Copenhagen to Helsingr and take a boat to Helsingborg, Sweden.

Hels is the Danish-Swedish word for neck, and here for the narrowest point of the Öresund.

The two cities face each other across the strait and are only four kilometers apart from each other, which is the closest distance between Denmark and Sweden.

So compared to the 16 kilometres from Copenhagen to Malmö, the time on board is correspondingly shorter.

From England to Denmark before, Chen Muwu almost died in the North Sea, so he is now a little afraid of taking a steamer, and naturally hopes that the time is as short as possible.

However, Bohr had long since rejected Chen's idea, because Helsingborg did not have a railway, and they could not go directly to Stockholm from there, nor could they go to Gothenburg or Malmö, which were connected to Stockholm by rail.

Helpless, Chen Muwu could only follow the group and get on the ship in the port of Copenhagen.

When he boarded the ship, he clung to the armrest next to his seat and closed his eyes in fear.

Ice and snow's smart Eve quickly guessed why Chen Muwu became like this, so she put her mouth close to Chen Muwu's ear a little mischievously, and said softly: "Mr. Chen, in addition to not being good at dancing, I also discovered a small weakness of yours, that is, you are afraid of taking a steamer.

"You are like this, how can you be in England after that? I don't think it's better to stay in France, stay in Paris, and stay by my side. ”
