207 Different Theory of Relativity

The playful expression on Tanaka Tsuyoshi's face seemed to be determined to invite Chen Muwu to visit.

Chen Muwu really felt at a certain moment that if he dared not agree, he would really dare to send someone from the special high class or the Black Dragon Society to kidnap him.

"Mr. Ambassador, if it's easy to talk about, then I look forward to waiting for you to be in China and then contacting your personnel."

A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, he doesn't need to be so tough now.

Deal with the past first, and when you return to China, the operability will be greater.

When the time came to send all his family to the European steamer, he was alone, and he followed the Swedes all day long, and it was not like he could go wherever he wanted.

Seeing that Chen Muwu's attitude was quite positive, Tanaka Toyoshi also picked up his wine glass very happily and raised it towards Chen Muwu in the air.

"Then I won't bother too much, Dr. Chen, and I wish you a pleasant meal."

Chen Muwu also picked up his wine glass and saluted Tanaka Toyoshi, although his cup was filled with water.

After I left, Chen Muwu's meal was not enjoyable.

The Crown Prince of Sweden greeted him from table to table, and went to Chen Muwu to talk to him a few times, saying that he was looking forward to his upcoming trip to China and Chen Muwu's second speech in Leegrad.

As the guest of honor at today's dinner, the Crown Prince of Sweden is busy with affairs, and it is very rare for him to find time to say hello to Chen Muwu.

Although nominally a banquet was held to welcome the Crown Prince of Sweden, if nothing else, he himself was probably the least eaten of the party.

Formalism kills people!

The dinner was coming to an end, and Chen Muwu had a full meal.

He was thinking about how he should leave the venue and return to Kapitsa's house.

Chen Muwu, who couldn't speak Russian, had a dark eye, and could only hope that the driver sent to him by the Sulian Academy of Sciences would be able to find him smoothly outside the black-lit venue.

At this moment, someone found him again, and he was still speaking Chinese.

You can't admit your mistake again this time, right?

The person who came should be either the consul general of the Beiyang government in Leegrad or the ambassador in Moscow.

After all, the final destination of the Swedish crown prince's visit is China, and it would be inappropriate for China not to send some heavyweight officials to greet him.

"Dr. Chen, Dr. Chen! The old man is Fu Yangxian, the consul general of the Chinese People's Republic of China in Leegrad. I've admired the name for a long time, and I finally saw it today! ”

Sure enough, it was just as Chen Muwu guessed.

"Consul General Fu, good evening, just call me Hanchen."

His desire to eat authentic Chinese food in Legigrad was disappointed, and he never went to the Consulate General to report, and today was the first time he met Fu Yangxian.

Fu Yangxian is around 50 years old, and nine out of ten members of the Department of Foreign Affairs at this age were sent out students in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

He also had just arrived in Lebegrad in a hurry from China, Shui Junshao followed Zhang Jiying's example and came to resign and hang the seal, and the Swedish crown prince wanted to visit China through Su Lian, so Fu Yangxian could only temporarily save the scene.

But as soon as the consul general spoke, Chen Muwu was a little unhappy.

Whether it is Zhu Zhaoxin, Chen Zheng, Dai Chunlin or Chen Weicheng, most people come up to say some compliments, praising Chen Muwu for being rich and rich at a young age, and his reputation is all over the world.

Only this Fu Yangxian did not play according to the routine, and after a few polite words on official business, he asked Chen Muwu what year he was born.

What really made Chen Muwu a little angry was his next sentence after learning his age.

"Dr. Chen, you are the same age as the dog."

Chen Weicheng of the United Kingdom, in terms of age, should be about the same as this Fu Yangxian, but when he was in London, he still called "Brother Hanchen".

As a result, when he arrived in Lebegrad, he said that he was as old as his son, didn't this make it clear that he wanted to take advantage of him Chen Muwu?

This made Chen Muwu, who had already provoked a lot of anger with him, even more unhappy, and he asked in a weird way: "I don't know where Consul General Fu's Lin'er is?" ”

The meaning of his words is also obvious, that is, your son is as old as me, so can his achievements be comparable to mine?

Unexpectedly, Fu Yangxian replied with a serious face: "After graduating from the university, the dog went to the United States by ship for 11 years, and is now studying for a doctorate in chemistry at the University ......of Michigan - naturally it is not as promising as Dr. Chen."

So it turned out, Chen Muwu thought that this old man wanted to take advantage of himself at first, but he didn't expect that he just saw himself at about the same age, and he thought of his son who was studying in the United States.

Chen Muwu has a natural affection for people who study science and engineering, and most of the people who return to China to serve the motherland in the future are these people, as for those who study politics, law, and business......

Fu Yangxian continued: "Both of you are young people, and you are the pillars of the country in the future, so you should be more close. ”

"That's nature, Your Excellency Consul General, that's nature! When you find an opportunity, you give me Fu Gongzi's mailing address, and when I return to the UK, I will contact him, if he needs any help in the future, Mu Wu is duty-bound. ”

Chen Muwu was a little excited when he agreed, and he was sorry for his childish thoughts just now.

Although chemistry and physics are two disciplines, the intersection is not wide, but if this Fu Gongzi goes to the UK in the future, with Chen Muwu's connections, help him arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation, and solve some small troubles, there should be no problem.

He even began to think about the long term, if he waited for this Fu Gongzi to graduate in the future, would he be able to dig into Stockholm and help him teach students?

In the final stage of the dinner, Chen Muwu and Fu Yangxian's small talk finally became more and more pleasant.

What he didn't know was that Fu Ying, the son of Consul General Fu, would indeed become an outstanding chemistry educator in China in the future, and he also became the vice president of Shaojing University.

The Crown Prince of Sweden changed his plans and came to Sulian from China two days in advance, just to listen to the second lecture held by Chen Muwu here.

This meant that his lecture at the University of Letegrad was coming to an end, and it was time to prepare for the second lecture in the only time or two he had to spare.

If this kind of public-facing speech wants to be wonderful and popular, it must be clever in the selection of content.

Don't be pretentious, talk about something profound, so that the audience with different levels of knowledge can understand it.

If you take a shortcut, the easiest thing to attract attention is to experiment on the stage.

Researchers of the history of physics have different opinions on whether Galileo threw an iron ball down from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, whether this public case really happened, or whether it was attached to Galileo by later generations.

But another famous physics experiment, the Magdeburg Hemispheric Experiment to verify the existence of atmospheric pressure, was able to attract the empty alleys of Magdeburg, a small German city, in the 17th century.

- Although I didn't know who was called Torricelli or what atmospheric pressure was, people spontaneously appeared around the experimental site on the outskirts of Magdeburg to watch the miraculous sight of sixteen horses barely pulling two iron balls.

Now, two hundred years later, in the nineteenth century, basically anyone with a primary education knows that there is atmospheric pressure.

Chen Muwu definitely can't do this hemispheric experiment anymore.

It's a pity that the current low-temperature physics only found niobium metal with a superconducting critical temperature of around Kelvin, and it was discovered by Chen Muwu himself "inadvertently".

As long as there is a piece of material whose critical temperature is within the range of liquid nitrogen, Chen Muwu will definitely choose to demonstrate to the audience what is called the Chen effect of superconductors, and see how a piece of superconducting material placed on a magnet is successfully suspended in the magnetic field after adding liquid nitrogen.

Isn't that much more exciting than a circus or a magic trick?

Superconductivity can cause such a big online carnival in the 21st century, and Chen Muwu is confident that it can be the same in the 20th century.

If you can't do superconductivity experiments, you can only find other speech topics.

The only popular branches of physics are relativity and quantum mechanics.

The representative of the theory of relativity is Albert Einstein, and the representative of quantum mechanics is undoubtedly Chen Muwu.

In this time and space, he completely followed the old path of Einstein, and single-handedly "created" a physics discipline.

As for Planck, who first proposed the concept of quantum, and his successors, Einstein and Bohr, representatives of the old quantum theory, they are basically to quantum mechanics what Lorentz is to the theory of relativity.

Before Einstein published his theory of relativity, Lorentz deduced the Lorentz transform, the purpose of which was to reconcile the contradiction between Maxwell's electrodynamics and Newtonian mechanics, and to try to find a reasonable explanation for the existence of the ether.

Einstein's first paper on the theory of relativity was also titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies".

Planck proposed the concept of quantum in order to find a new formula based on experimental data, and he never thought that he would open a new door.

Everyone thought that Chen Muwu's second lecture at the Sulian Academy of Sciences would be related to quantum mechanics, after all, he was the founder of this discipline.

As a result, when he saw the lecture title submitted by Chen Muwu, Professor Yu Fei, who was in charge of docking with him, was surprised.

Chen ...... Dr. Chen, I thought you were going to talk about quantum mechanics, but I didn't expect it to be such a topic. ”

He stammered a little.

"Professor Yofy, what's wrong? Isn't this an appropriate topic? ”

On the sticky note paper that Chen Muwu handed to Youfei, the first word written was the theory of relativity.

In addition to quantum mechanics, Dr. Chen also published several articles on the theory of relativity in his early academic career.

The Christmas lecture he gave at the Royal Institute last Christmas was also about the theory of relativity.

Twenty years earlier, the mass basis of the theory of relativity is much larger than that of quantum mechanics.

There is no problem with Chen Muwu's choice of this theme.

The second word on the paper is a meaningless conjunction "and", which is also fine.

The key is what follows the "and" in the title of the lecture.

In Jofy's mind, there was nothing wrong with "Relativity and Quantum Mechanics", "Relativity and Classical Mechanics", or even "Relativity and Physics Education in Germany".

But he never thought that Chen Muwu would give such a topic as "The Theory of Relativity and Dialectical Materialism", which seems to have little connection at first glance, but it is normal to give a lecture in Su Lian.

"Hop...... Suitable! Perfectly suitable, except that I never thought that you also had a study of materialism, and even suspected that you were an idealist. Just Dr. Chen, can you let me take a look at your speech or outline in advance? ”

It's no wonder that Yue Fei has this idea, Chen Muwu is the pioneer of quantum mechanics, but in the eyes of people now, quantum mechanics is completely synonymous with idealism.

Whether it's probability, collapse, or that parallel world that is even more surprising and puzzling......

The explanations of quantum mechanics put forward by Chen Muwu are not very materialistic no matter how you look at them.

However, these explanations are still very supportive, and the one who has been the hardest to raise the flag for them is Eddington, who also supports idealism.

Eddington, who wrote a popular science book on the theory of relativity, also wrote a popular science book on quantum mechanics after Chen Muwu established quantum mechanics.

Eddington's influence with Chen Muwu, as well as his hype about these theories and explanations in the book, have led readers who have read this popular science book to mistakenly believe that Chen Muwu is also an idealist.

That's why Yue Fei asked such a question, he didn't know what Chen Muwu meant by giving such a speech topic.

If he agrees with materialism, it would be fine, but if Chen Muwu criticized materialism in his lecture, then it would not be a thing, but an accident.

It's still a huge, huge, super, super accident, and everyone can't eat and walk around.

"Professor Yofy, please rest assured, I will not say anything that should not be said, the central idea of my lecture is only one, that is, to demonstrate that the theory of relativity is completely in line with dialectical materialism. If you are really not sure, I may not be able to produce the full text of the speech for a while, but there is no problem in giving you an outline. ”

There are two major farces in the history of Sulian science, the first is the Lysenkoism of using Lamarck-Michurin's genetics to resist Mendel-Morgan's genetics, and the second is the critique of the theory of relativity.

Because Su Lian is the big brother, this kind of criticism later spread to China, and there was something to say, "Einstein changed nationality three times in his life, changed his master four times, and if he has milk, he is his mother, and he kneels when he sees money." One thing that has remained unchanged is that he consciously acted as the 'scientific mouthpiece' of the bourgeoisie to viciously attack Marxism" and "[Einstein] frequently engaged in anti-* political activities and acted as an apologist for the aggressive ambitions of US imperialism."

It was not until 1979 that hundreds of scientists in China met to celebrate the centenary of Einstein's birth, which was officially "rehabilitated" for the great physicist.

On Lysenko's side, Chen Muwu couldn't reach it.

But now that he has a chance to speak at Sulian's highest scientific institution, he must try to do his part to prevent the second farce from happening.

"That's good, that's good......"

Hearing Chen Muwu's explanation, Yue Fei's hanging heart let go a little, but he didn't completely let go.

“…… Then you see that tomorrow I will send someone to Kapitsa's house to get the outline of your speech, is that okay? ”

"No problem!"
