15 A wonderful thing

Oppenheimer, who went to take the luggage out of the luggage room and leave it at the storage office again, was late, and he didn't know what Chen Muwu and Einstein had talked about after he left.

When he turned back to the platform, he only saw Einstein with a serious and serious face.

This made Oppenheimer regret it, and he felt that he should not have gone to collect his luggage so quickly, but should have listened to the conversation between the two of them on the side.

In this way, I can add a lot of new content to my travel diary.

In other words, if other physics students who want to make grades see Einstein and Chen Muwu chatting on the train platform, whose first reaction would be to write the content of their conversation into a travelogue?

Shouldn't it be to listen to what they have to say and see if there are any new discoveries in physics in what is being discussed?

Some of Oppenheimer's months in China made him forget what his old job was about.

He is now less of a physics practitioner and more of a round-the-clock travelogue writer.

Oppenheimer would always write the first thing he encountered during the journey, and fill it in his notebook at night before going to bed or other free time of the day.

His travel diary has now been updated to include the duo's Polish adventures.

Oppenheimer criticized Poland as a country in it, from the border control staff on the Soviet-Polish border to Pilsudski, who had just succeeded in seizing power, and the penniless denounced in his travelogue was nothing good.

Fortunately, Poland was destroyed at the beginning of World War II, and if Poland won World War II and ruled the whole of Europe and the whole earth, then with this travel diary, Oppenheimer would have to be rated as a war criminal, which would have jeopardized Poland's national image.

Perhaps because he was too self-indulgent in his travelogues, he wrote freely, and when his book was translated in different parts of the world in the future, it would always be cut according to local conditions.

Of course, the Polish version deleted this paragraph, and changed it to Chen Muwu's passage and stay in Poland when he returned to the city, and he was full of praise for the urban construction of the capital Warsaw.

As for the Russian version, it is deleted Oppenheimer's supplementary description of the Eastern Railway and Vladivostok, as well as a series of unequal treaties signed between the two countries.

Britain, France, the United States, and other countries have deleted the same domestic versions, not only deleting the unequal treaties, but also deleting the tyranny of their people inside and outside the concessions, and all of them have beautified their ugly faces as aggressors.

Most of the content has been deleted, but it is the text version of the travelogue.

Oppenheimer complained too much about Ben in his travelogue, from the emperor to the common people, and in his eyes he became the most disgusted group of people.

In particular, he spoke very disrespectfully to His Majesty the Emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, and even put him on the list of executions after the future conquest of North America.

But the most deleted word count is not the travelogue version, but the Chinese version.

From the Beiyang government to the later Shengjing government, every time there was a change of speaker, he would delete the words in the book that he thought were unfavorable to himself and discredited the country.

Therefore, Oppenheimer's travelogue does not have any two versions with the same content in China.

Each time it is reprinted, it adds to or subtracts from the previous edition.

But that's not all, the Chinese version has deleted much more than that, and all the above content that may cause surprise to AIA has been deleted.

- Of course, this does not include Poland, because Poland is not yet a great power.

Basically, the Chinese version is the intersection of the various versions of the British, French and German daily Soviet Union, and then delete different content according to different regimes.

Few Chinese are interested in this travelogue written by an American in the Middle East, South Manchuria, Beijing-Fengzhou, Tianjin-Pudong, Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, and the Qihai region.

None of the people who have ever been to any of these places are basically illiterate.

And those who have the money to take the train and have lived in the sea do not need to read a foreigner's text to re-understand the sea.

Only people in the cultural circle are willing to see how a foreigner views China, but after reading it, there are still many disappointed.

"Chinese things are always done by Chinese people, so that we can see the truth, that is, as Chen Hanchen's high-footed Oppenheimer's self-proclaimed to regard China as the motherland, but looking at his works, after all, it is just an American's position, and it is only a superficial situation. Only if we do it can we leave a truth. ”

——A fellow villager of Chen Muwu with a mustache.

The only major impact of Oppenheimer's travelogue in China was that Mrs. Pearl Booker, an American teacher in the Department of Foreign Languages at Jinling University, found the book.

Born into a missionary family and growing up in China, she has always wanted to create something about this ancient and mysterious country.

So Mrs. Booker bought back Oppenheimer's travelogue for reference, originally to see what kind of perspective Oppenheimer, who was also an American, was looking at and portraying China from a first-time visitor.

As a result, she found that there were very few descriptions of real scenes and things in this travelogue, and a larger amount of ink and space were used to record Chen Muwu's words and deeds.

What kind of travelogue is this, it is obviously more like the "Analects" and "Mencius" that record the remarks of Confucius and Mencius!

However, Mrs. Booker still found something interesting in her travelogue, and he saw Chen Muwu's trip to Fengtian, which Oppenheimer kept repeating.

After having this clue, she also discovered that Chen Muwu was the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Chen Muwu is now the world's most famous young physicist, and "Shooting the Condor" is now the most famous popular book in China.

When these two things are added together, that's a name on a name.

If you can translate this book from Chinese to English and sell it to publishers in the United States, you may be able to make a lot of money.

Just do it, Mrs. Booker temporarily put down another Chinese book in her hand that she had originally intended to translate into English, "Water Margin".

Her name is pearl, and the corresponding English word is pearl, if you don't use the transliteration of pearl, but use a literal translation, the meaning should be pearl.

Therefore, as Mrs. Booker, who grew up and lived in China for a long time, she also has another Chinese name, Pearl Sai.

Because the itinerary of the two people has not yet been completed, Oppenheimer's travelogue has not been written, and the subsequent publication and distribution have not been completed.

Since he had already returned to the platform, Einstein planned to wait until Chen Muwu had settled down in Berlin.

He's going to be here for three days anyway, and although the time isn't too rich, it's not too urgent, so he won't race against time.

Under Einstein's guidance, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer followed him, a local, out of the Silesian railway station and got on the special train sent to Einstein by the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics.

Due to the addition of Oppenheimer, an unfamiliar outsider, Einstein changed the topic after getting in the car, and no longer taught Chen Muwu his life experience about marriage problems.

He finally began to talk to Chen Muwu beside him about academic matters, and Oppenheimer, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quietly pricked up his ears, hoping that he would not miss a syllable.

"Chen, good job, I didn't expect you to achieve certain results in mathematics."

On the surface, Einstein was sincerely praising Chen Muwu, and the incompleteness theorem proposed did not carry any personal feelings.

But he felt that only he knew that he was secretly happy in his heart, and thanks to Chen Muwu, a young and good offspring, he could make Hilbert, a mathematician whose eyes had always grown on the top of his brain and looked down on physicists, suffer a big blow in his major.

In fact, Chen Muwu also knew about it, but Einstein was acting, so he had to accompany him to the end.

"Professor, it's just a trivial matter, and you're praising it."

Chen Muwu was also polite and modest, while Oppenheimer took it seriously.

Although he didn't know much about the technical aspects of mathematics, he did know the status of mathematicians in the mathematical world.

In the history of mathematics, the incompleteness theorem was also affirmed by Russell, denying a major event of Hilbert, and the importance of this theorem is naturally self-evident.

is such an important theorem, in Chen Muwu's mouth, only received the evaluation of "insignificant".

Oppenheimer didn't think Chen Muwu was arrogant, but thought that Chen Muwu was telling the truth.

He only gave a little bit of energy to mathematics to come up with such a theorem.

If Dr. Chan had devoted himself to mathematics, would the historical development of mankind have taken a completely different path?

At least for himself, if Dr. Chen had gone to study mathematics, he would have gone to the University of Göttingen instead of Cambridge and the Cavendish Laboratory.

If he wasn't in the Cavendish Laboratory, he probably wouldn't have made it so well to study here, and he wouldn't have made some physics grades at the Royal Institution in London the following year.

Oh, and thankfully, Dr. Chan didn't choose mathematics.

He saved physics, and he saved himself.

Oppenheimer sat in the passenger seat and thought nonsense, while Einstein continued to talk to Chen Muwu about what he had just discussed.

"Chen, you said that mathematics is incomplete, and this has been confirmed by the paper.

"Mathematics is an abstract discipline that is incomplete, while physics is based on experiments, an observation, understanding and study of the entire universe. So you say, there should be no such thing as incompleteness in physics, right?

"I've been thinking about another question lately, so do you think it's possible to combine gravitational and electromagnetic forces and unify them?"

After listening to Einstein's question, Chen Muwu basically had a general understanding of why he stopped himself on the platform of the train station today.

The good news is that Einstein did not come to ask the teacher for his guilt this time, but continued to pester him about quantum mechanics, devised all kinds of bizarre thought experiments, and tried to use these flawed experiments to refute the uncertainty principle, and then refute quantum mechanics.

The bad news is that he wants to discuss the unified field theory with himself.

And he pretended to start with the incompleteness theorem, and inadvertently brought up the topic.

Einstein may have felt that his approach to the topic was novel, but he may not have known that a few decades after him, a well-known physicist named Stephen Hawking used the incompleteness theorem as an introduction to believe that all theories about the universe are "neither harmonious nor perfect", and it is unlikely that a single theory can describe the universe in a coordinated and perfect way.

Hawking's lecture was reported in Shaojing in 2002, and Chen Muwu naturally didn't catch up with that lecture at that age.

But in the future, Hawking also repeated his own view many times, and it was at that stage that Chen Muwu learned about it.

Looking at Einstein, who was full of fighting spirit and devoted the rest of his life to the study of unified theory, and just took the time to write a letter to the US commander-in-chief, Chen Muwu didn't know what to say for a while.

Can we explain all the laws of the universe with a grand unified theory, anyway, he was still doing this in the era when he came.

It's just that Einstein has been researching all his life, but he has not been able to get the results he wants.

But when it comes to completeness, Chen Muwu thought that the reason why he went to mathematics to make waves and make a big news was because Einstein first said that quantum mechanics was incomplete.

Then he indiscriminately attacked Hilbert, who was also a German, and now Einstein came to ask him if physics was complete.

It is very simple to refute his words, just ask Einstein directly if quantum mechanics is considered physics.

Quantum mechanics is physics, but if quantum mechanics is incomplete, then physics is also incomplete.

If we want to make physics complete, we must first put aside the unification of various forces, at least on the side of quantum mechanics, and there must be no incomplete problems in the first place.

Chen Muwu, who was angry and funny, suddenly wanted to say, "Professor Einstein, you don't want physics to become incomplete?" "That's the kind of thing you say.

But if you think about it, you can't really say it.

Chen Muwu could only secretly organize his language to see what he could say without dampening Einstein's self-confidence, and at the same time try to see if he could change the direction of his research.

At this time, the car they were riding in stopped next to a building, which was regarded as saving Chen Muwu's life, so that he would not be confined to the narrow space of the car compartment in the following time, facing the embarrassing situation of having nothing to say.

Einstein, for his part, also felt that he did not let a man who had just finished a long train trip not settle down quickly, but continued to discuss problems with him in his seat.

"Chen, we'll talk about this question later, and then we'll get your check-in procedures done."

Chen Muwu followed Einstein out of the car and into the hotel.

Oppenheimer, who was carrying his luggage with the driver, followed.

Because of Planck's offer, Einstein gave up his teaching position in Zurich and became the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics when he came to Berlin, and by the way he also became an adjunct professor at the University of Berlin.

His apartment in Berlin is also near the institute and university, so the hotel where Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer stayed this time is not far from this German physics center.

The hostel is a cooperative unit of the University of Berlin, and it has rooms reserved for visiting scholars like Chen Muwu.

So they didn't need to make an appointment, and they checked in directly under the leadership of Einstein.

The front desk of this hotel can also help book train tickets from Berlin to Paris in three days, which is a favor for Oppenheimer, so that he will not have to make an extra trip to the train station to buy tickets in these days.

Einstein's hospitality ended there.

Chen Muwu had only been in Berlin for less than three days, and he was pressed for time, so he didn't have time to let the guest sleep in the hotel before discussing the problem with him.

So Einstein sat on the sofa in Chen Muwu's room, and took out paper and pen from the pocket of his suit.

"Chen, what do you think is the most beautiful formula in the history of physics?"

"Maxwell's equations, of course, Professor. It was Mr. Maxwell's set of equations that united electricity and magnetism. ”

In fact, in Chen Muwu's mind, the most beautiful formula is not Maxwell's equations, but the mass-energy equation proposed by this person sitting on the sofa, E=mc.

This has given birth to many magical things for the simple and beautiful equations, such as the brilliant blooming mushroom clouds.

If this mushroom cloud can bloom over Edo, it will be more reflective of the beauty of the mourning that I have been pursuing.

You think that growing mushrooms in Edo is harmful, but you don't know how long-term Chen Muwu's vision is, not only is he not harming people, but he is also saving his own life in the future, which will make the human beings all over the world grateful to him.

Perhaps the energy released by the large mushroom will be able to change the geological structure near the East Honkai and release some of the accumulated energy in advance.

Maybe just a small change could prevent a major earthquake from happening decades later.

If it does, the energy released will be a little smaller, and there will be no more Level 7 accidents at the nuclear power plant, and TEPCO's management will no longer bow down, and no one will be forced to drink nuclear wastewater at the risk of being forced to drink nuclear wastewater.

No one was hurt, and that's a wonderful thing.

However, Chen Muwu knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, he didn't mind being a good person, he didn't say the mass-energy equation, but chose to answer Maxwell's equations, and continued to talk about Einstein's meaning.

Einstein was very satisfied with Chen Muwu's answer: "Yes, I also think Maxwell's equations are wonderful.

"But if we could find a theory that all gravitational and electromagnetic forces were the same thing, wouldn't you think that would be a wonderful thing?

"Chen, I'd like to hear your opinion on this issue."
