26 generations have received Chen Muwu
After Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, began to vigorously promote the imperial examination and achieved certain results, he once proudly sighed with emotion that "all the heroes of the world have entered our world".
Standing in front of his office door, which he hadn't come to for several months, Chen Muwu suddenly thought of what Li Erfeng had said.
Li Shimin passed the imperial examination and obtained a large number of bureaucratic courtiers who were conducive to maintaining his feudal rule.
Chen Muwu, on the other hand, has attracted a group of young and promising young scholars who will grow into world-renowned physicists in the future by virtue of his personal charm.
One relied on high-ranking officials and the other relied on personal influence, which gave Chen Muwu the illusion that he was better than Li Er.
Moreover, in the history textbook of high school, when the chapter on the imperial examination was introduced, a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhao Yi was quoted, called "Emperor Taizong really has a long strategy, and he earns all the heroes in vain".
The meaning of this poem seems to be that the imperial examination implemented by Tang Taizong can make all the scholars in the world obsessed with it until their hair turns white.
But Chen Muwu, who was in school at that time, once had a crooked criticism of this poem when he was bored, thinking that the content was that the imperial examination was even prepared to take the exam and failed to take the exam again, which made the world's scholars waste a lot of time, so that in the end, the title of the gold list was also some white-headed old men.
In such a comparison, Chen Muwu felt that he had won again.
Because of the group of young talents around him, the eldest of them is only in his thirties, and it is still a decade or two before his hair turns gray.
Perhaps for some of these Brits, they don't even get a sense of what it's like to have gray hair.
Because before their hair turns gray, they may have been bald, resulting in no hair left on their heads, the so-called "lively streets do not grow grass, smart heads do not grow hair" is also.
Pushing open his office and walking in, there were four people in a room except Chen Muwu, and they actually spoke German to each other.
After Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer returned to China, there were only three permanent staff in this office, namely Dirac, Heisenberg and von Neumann.
Recently, each of these three people has been learning a new language.
Language genius von Neumann is fluent in many European languages, because he was ordered by his teacher Hilbert to come to Cambridge University to join Chen Muwu, so he, like Oppenheimer, was interested in Dr. Chen's native language, Chinese.
There happened to be two Chinese students in Cavendis's lab, so after temporarily separating from Oppenheimer, Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei took in a new Chinese student, von Neumann.
Dirac, a descendant of French-speaking immigrants from French-speaking Switzerland, often spoke French at home, and grew up living in Bristol, where English was his mother tongue.
As an Englishman, he was a bit arrogant, and always felt that Germany was the center of European learning, so when he was studying at the University of Bristol, he began to regard German as a second foreign language, and he was bent on making some achievements in academic research in the future, and also published a paper in German.
Even though Chen Muwu, a fierce man from the sky, published many high-level English papers in the Journal of the Natural Science Society and the journal Nature, which suddenly raised the academic level of the UK to a higher level.
But not long ago, when Dirac wanted to write his paper demonstrating the equivalence of two modes of quantum mechanics, he subconsciously wanted to use German.
Then he was persuaded by Chen Muwu for a long time, and finally decided to submit an article to the "Natural Science Society Bulletin" after writing in English, just like his good friend, to grab time.
Of the three, the most unlucky was Heisenberg.
He was born and raised in Germany, and his family was not close to the aristocracy who liked to speak French, and he grew up speaking only German as a language, and English was only a little taste.
After completing his Ph.D., he went to the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, where he studied with Bohr as his assistant, so that the second language he learned was Danish, the least of the three.
Heisenberg's English level is much worse than Dirac's German level, so the daily communication between the three people in Chen Muwu's office can only be used in German, and if there is a miscommunication, von Neumann will translate it in the center.
Oppenheimer got up early this morning so that when he entered Cavendish with a lot of gifts, he wouldn't be discovered by Rutherford, the director of the lab, who had always disliked him.
After all, he was also a person who could talk and laugh with Einstein, and he was invited to teach at the University of Berlin, so Oppenheimer, who joined the trio in Chen Muwu's office, also spoke German.
He was happily preaching what he had seen and heard along the way back with Dr. Chen.
Because he was confronted with three physics colleagues, Oppenheimer focused on the question raised by Professor Albert Einstein in Berlin, whether it was possible to find a way to transform electromagnetic forces and gravitational forces together.
Chen Muwu suddenly realized another thing, that is, not only did he gather young talents from the Cambridge department such as Kapitsa, Blackett and Cockcroft, but also many of the mainstays of the original "Copenhagen School" had already come to him, such as Dirac, Heisenberg and von Neumann.
A few years ago, Bohr had been trying to dig himself out of his teacher's Cavendish lab under Rutherford to the University of Copenhagen, but he had never succeeded.
But now unintentionally, Chen Muwu has pryed a lot of corners from Bohr.
In this time and space, Dirac and von Neumann will definitely not go to Copenhagen again, and Bohr's current assistant Heisenberg is expected to run between Denmark and England in the future.
As for Pauli, Bohr's other general, he finally succeeded the retired Planck as a tenured professor at the University of Berlin after Irena got married.
In a few years, Pauli may become a professor in the physics department of the University of Berlin, moving from a research position to a management position.
Will there be a Copenhagen School in the future? Chen Muwu felt that this matter was not easy to say.
But at the same time, he felt that there was a native Cambridge lineage, plus a corner dug from Bohr's side, plus his compatriots.
In the time and space where I am now, it is very likely that there will be a giant school centered on Chen Muwu, the Cambridge School.
Of course, if Balfour eventually expelled Chen Muwu from Cambridge University or even from England, this school might also be called the Stockholm School.
It's in Northern Europe like Copenhagen, but it's a different country.
- at least let the Swedish crown prince, or the Wallenberg family, not spend their money in vain.
A forest of plane trees was planted, which attracted countless phoenixes.
Seeing Chen Muwu walk into the office, the group hurriedly greeted this friend or division commander who had not seen him for a long time.
It's just that everyone subconsciously speaks German.
A small office in Cavendis's laboratory was the place where the concentration of German was highest in the small kingdom of Cambridge University, as was Buckingham Palace from 1714 to 1727.
Oppenheimer, who came first, had already finished giving gifts to the three people, and Chen Muwu also brought his tea.
After the polite greetings, it was von Neumann who was the first to speak and talked about academic-related topics: "Dr. Chen, Mr. Oppenheimer just said that Professor Einstein wanted to unify electromagnetic force and gravitational force. What do you think about this? ”
The reason why when they first met, they didn't tell the other three about his various experiences in Sulian and China, but directly talked about it.
Because Oppenheimer wanted to brag to everyone on the one hand that he had been praised by Einstein, and on the other hand, Chen Muwu, who wanted to say negative and finally get Einstein to agree with this point of view, was indeed more powerful than Einstein.
However, Chen Muwu's arrival interrupted Oppenheimer's vivid description, and he did not talk about the last day in Paris, and Dr. Chen finally found a way to reject Einstein's idea.
Von Neumann's academic sense of smell was unusually acute, and he didn't hear Oppenheimer say it to the end, and thought that Einstein's proposal was promising.
Hearing him raise this question, Chen Muwu remembered that he still owed Planck a German paper that he had not written.
Originally, I wanted to write about why the transformation could not contribute to the unity of electromagnetic force and gravitational force, but this has been explained to Einstein, and then writing a paper for public publication is not a kind of slap in the face?
Chen Muwu could only briefly explain to the three of them again why it couldn't, and then he began to worry about the paper again.
His main focus is "keep your word and do what you do", and you can't let Planck release his pigeons just because he is about to retire.
It is reported that Planck is also going to Como, Italy to attend the physics conference to commemorate Volta, and Chen Muwu does not want to be in the resort area, and he has to experience the pain of being urged to write again.
Thinking of the meeting in Italy, Chen Mu suddenly shifted the topic to this.
Because Kapitsa informed Chen Muwu of the meeting in front of Oppenheimer.
So in this office, there may be only three people who don't know about the meeting yet.
"At that meeting in Italy next spring, have you three been invited? To go or not to go? ”
Historically, all three men have received invitations to the Cuomo Conference, because they had all made achievements in physics before the conference began, and Heisenberg was the fried chicken among the younger generation.
Von Neumann may be the only newcomer who has not yet achieved results, but he still went to Italy with the men of the University of Göttingen, led by Born and Jodan.
However, this is not because there is a Chen Muwu in this life!
Of the three people in the office, he had the most wool on Heisenberg's body.
Whether it is matrix mechanics or the uncertainty principle, the surname is now Chen instead of Hai.
The most famous of the three became Dirac, because he was Chen Muwu's best friend at Cambridge University and had co-authored several papers together.
Chen Muwu wasn't sure if they would receive an invitation from the Italian side now, so he asked.
Sure enough, just as he thought, the three of them knew about such a meeting, but no one was invited by the organizer.
How can that work!
Chen Muwu felt that he had to bring all his right-hand men to Italy.
The upcoming Cuomo Conference was the first stop for the founding of his Cambridge School.
He even figured out what to read at the conference about what to say.
If you can successfully bombard lithium atoms with protons before the start of the conference, we will focus on the verification of Einstein's mass-energy equation and the prospect of artificial nuclear transmutation.
If the experiment is not completed or is not done well, then the content of the paper, or else it will be replaced with quantum field theory, right?
There are so many physics geniuses under his command, and if you don't pull wool from them, you are sorry for them.
The content of the paper that happened to be promised to Planck was also settled.
That's it!
Chen Muwu not only poached many of Bohr's generals, but also unknowingly took away the luck of the Copenhagen School.
The Cuomo Conference in the original time and space was Bohr's Battle of the Sticks.
Although he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922, it was not until this meeting that the Copenhagen School, led by Bohr, finally took shape.
Einstein refused to attend the Cuomo Conference because of his opposition to the Bald Heads in Italy.
Perhaps because he knew that his old opponent would not attend, Bohr preemptively published his principle of complementarity in preparation for the Cuomo Conference.
Then, when the conference was held, he sang and sang with his lover Heisenberg, and introduced their uncertainty principle to the audience.
After the Como Conference, the Fifth Solvay Conference was held in 1927.
The Solvay conference was in Belgium rather than in Italy, so Einstein participated, and repeatedly countered the uncertainty principle at the conference, albeit unsuccessfully.
In two successive international physics conferences, Bohr won a big victory.
The Copenhagen School rose to prominence after its victories against Albert Einstein, Schrödinger, and de Broglie.
It's just that now, the uncertainty principle has long been proposed by Chen Muwu, and the two sides of the debate have become him and Einstein, and it has happened a long time ago, and it has been suspended.
He was going to present his paper on nuclear transmutation or quantum field theory at the Cuomo conference, essentially announcing that the Copenhagen School would cease to exist in this time and space.
Chen Muwu thought of another thing, that is, since the Copenhagen School no longer exists, Bohr will not be able to do his word.
In that case, is it possible to dig Bohr back into the Cambridge School?
He was a pupil of Rutherford, and briefly studied with the elder Tomson at Cambridge University, a status that was well matched by a member of the school.
Another one, if there was no Copenhagen School, then there might not have been Heisenberg's secret conversation with his teacher Bohr after the occupation of Denmark.
Or is it that even so, secret talks may still take place, but the person of conversation with Heisenberg will change from Bohr to Chen Muwu?
Wait a minute!
Could it be that the one who was transported from Stockholm to Edinburgh by mosquito bomber will also become himself from Bohr?
He Chen Muwu, is he going to suffer it on behalf of others?
