27 Germans who cheated on funds
Now that the two topics of the paper to be presented at the Lake Como conference early next year have been identified, it also points the way for Chen's academic research in the coming months.
He is now surrounded by a lot of people, so there is no need to choose between two research topics, but can go hand in hand and blossom more.
If artificial nuclear transmutation and quantum field theory blossom in many places, then it is okay to read two papers at the same time at this conference.
- Although these two research directions have nothing to do with the voltaic person to be commemorated at the conference.
If there is a forced link, it is that Voltain invented the electric stack, which provided a stable source of electricity for mankind.
And Chen Muwu made an artificial nuclear transmutation, which can be regarded as the first step of preliminary exploration for human beings to obtain stable atomic energy.
But if there is a connection, what does it matter?
Didn't Bohr also read out a principle of complementarity that has nothing to do with voltaics?
To put it bluntly, the physicists' conference held in Como is a win-win situation formed by Italy paying for the physicists, and everyone traveling at public expense.
What really gave Chen Muwu a headache was whether he should go to Rome after the meeting.
What should he talk to the Pope about after meeting him?
And went to Rome to see the Pope, so did the King of Italy see it? His Majesty's Prime Minister, can you see it?
The only advantage of going to Rome is that Chen Muwu can still see Zhu Zhaoxin, who has beaten him in London for several years, in the Chinese legation in Italy.
It is a pity that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang Government cannot come up with the money to allocate funds to various embassies and consulates abroad, and Minister Zhu is far less beautiful now than he was when he was chargé d'affaires in London.
It is estimated that even if he goes to the legation, Chen Muwu will not be able to eat rich and authentic Chinese cuisine.
After determining the research direction, it is time to assign the next tasks to these young physicists around him.
Unlike the founding of the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and later quantum field theory, has always been the result of the cooperation of physicists from all over the world, mainly in Copenhagen and Göttingen.
Although Heisenberg was a good student of Bohr, he also had deep ties with the University of Göttingen.
In fact, both he and Pauli studied and worked with Born at the University of Göttingen, and the reason why matrix mechanics used matrices, a mathematical method that was relatively rare for physics at the time, and the first time he proposed the term "quantum mechanics", are deeply related to Born.
It can be said that after the First World War, Bohr visited the University of Göttingen as the first world-renowned physicist to come to Germany, which set off a Bohr Festival craze in Göttingen and earned him enough prestige among these young students in Germany.
And in contrast to the two, Bohr is a Nobel laureate, and Born is just a young teacher at the University of Göttingen.
It goes without saying who is more attractive to the young Heisenberg.
It can be said that Bohr went to Göttingen once and picked two peaches from Born, Heisenberg and Pauli.
This is just like Chen Muwu went to Leegler once and brought Landau back to Cambridge University.
Heisenberg was the backbone of the Göttingen trio, Born-Jodang-Heisenberg, and the three of them contributed to the development of quantum field theory.
Dirac, on the other hand, was another stalwart of quantum field theory, and he also had a teacher Fowler, who worked as a theoretical physics consultant in the Cavendish Laboratory.
plus von Neumann, who has a genius brain, as well as Lao Chen's beloved disciple Oppenheimer, and Chen Muwu himself.
When compiling the lecture notes on quantum mechanics before, Chen Muwu once lamented that he had never fought such a rich battle, and it was completely overkill to let these future physicists sit together to write student textbooks.
Now that we have the topic of quantum field theory, we have finally found a good place to vent our strength for a long time.
After meeting Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft who were engaged in experiments, and after meeting the group engaged in theories in their offices.
Then Chen Muwu continued to visit the Cavendish laboratory, room by room, and gave everyone the gifts he had brought back from China.
After sending it to the laboratory, there are still many other people who are good friends with him, and Chen Muwu needs to visit.
The advantage of just one gift is that he doesn't have to distinguish which gift to give to whom, he just needs to go back to Trinity College to pick up a new tea and he can ride his bike to the Cambridge University Observatory.
As a good friend of Einstein, although there are some differences in the concept gap between the two people in physics recently, they met with Chen Muwu, and after the greeting, the first topic that Eddington talked about was to ask Chen Muwu what he talked about with Professor Einstein when he was in Berlin.
So Chen Muwu briefly told Eddington what new ideas Einstein had in the unified theory.
"Chen, do you think it is really possible to unify the electromagnetic force and the gravitational force as Professor Einstein said?"
As the inspiration for Einstein's last unified theoretical hypothesis, affine theory, Eddington's face was both expectant and deeply worried when he asked this.
While still superstitious that affine theory could really solve the problem of unifying the two fundamental forces, Einstein called Eddington a genius, the one closest to the truth.
However, after the quiet failure of the affine theory, Eddington began to wonder whether Einstein's idea was correct.
Hearing that after Chen Muwu arrived in Germany, he discussed this issue with Einstein for several days, and finally rejected his new idea, Eddington became even more skeptical about whether the two forces could finally be unified.
He planned to talk to Chen Muwu, one of the two parties he was talking to, to learn the details of the matter and Dr. Chen's real thoughts.
After that, I quickly wrote a letter to my good friend Albert Einstein to see if I could persuade him to get out of the strayed and deeper and deeper path of unification.
"Well, Professor Eddington, I think that, what do you say? It is not clear whether there are only two basic forces in this world, and whether these two basic forces can be unified, at my current level, I can't say whether it is feasible......
“…… However, it is undeniable that Professor Einstein's view is a very meaningful attempt to advance physics and mathematics. ”
Chen Muwu began to talk again, because until he crossed over, the four basic interaction forces had not been able to unify successfully.
However, it cannot be said that the unified theory will never be realized, after all, it may just be that a good solution has not been found yet.
After leaving the observatory, Chen Muwu went to other places, including the Eagle Club, which is full of athletes, Penguin Publishing, and the Department of Sinology at Cambridge University.
Even Needham, an academician of Gonville and Case Academy, Chen Muwu sent him a gift from China.
No way, who made him so popular at Cambridge University that he made a lot of friends?
It wasn't until Saturday that Chen Muwu took his last large gift to the weekly meeting of the Cambridge Apostolic Society.
It was also the last place he needed to deliver his gifts.
Many of the apostles with whom he had joined the Cambridge Apostolic Society in 1924 had already graduated from Cambridge University and either went to work in England or took over the family business, becoming angels who did not have to attend weekly meetings.
Of course, every year a new group of apostles joins the secret society.
The apostle of flowing water, Chen Muwu who fights with iron...... and Ramsey.
After meeting Ramsey again, Chen Muwu always felt that this boy seemed to have gained a lot of weight compared with before.
Because he was already very familiar, he no longer cared about etiquette, and directly asked his own questions in a joking tone.
"Brother Chen, isn't this all your fault? Because of your handshake problem, I spent the summer studying how to develop a new theory from it, so I neglected physical exercise, and I didn't even swim in the Cam a few times.
"I tried to look for you in Cavendish Laboratories, only to be told that you had left Cambridge University to visit your family.
"Brother Chen, really, why are you like this? Don't say a word before leaving the UK and returning home. ”
Looking at Ramsey's meaning, he should have achieved good results in Chen-Ramsey theory, so he thought about going to talk to Chen Muwu.
But this person also belongs to people with poor associative skills, Chen Muwu has been absent from the regular meeting of the Apostolic Society every Saturday for several weeks, didn't Ramsey find out about this?
And invisibly, Chen Muwu can be regarded as saving Ramsey's life.
As long as he doesn't swim in the River Cam, he won't catch the parasitic disease, and maybe he won't die young again.
Otherwise, try to convince the Eagles Club to buy a plot of land in Cambridgeshire and dig a swimming pool for the benefit of future generations.
"Forgive sins, forgive sins."
Chen Muwubao clenched his fists and arched his hand forward, handing over the two bags of tea that he was carrying.
"The best tea in China was specially bought for you when I returned to China. How's that, Brother Ramsay, I'm kind of funny, right? ”
- although that's what he says to everyone.
"By the way, I have something to ask you,"
The gift can't be received in vain, Ramsey, who had just received the tea, didn't have time to rejoice and say some grateful polite words, and Chen Muwu falsely accused him.
"I have a fellow Chinese who also enrolled at Cambridge University this year and is now a freshman at Trinity College.
"He is more interested in mathematics than physics, and I hope you can help me a little bit.
"I'll treat you to the east another day and invite the two of you to meet, how about it?"
Chen Muwu's words were a bit excessive, before leaving China, Chen was just a freshman at Nankai University, and he was also studying physics under Rao Yutai.
He has not yet found his future study direction at all, but in Chen Muwu's mouth, his little brother has become very interested in mathematics.
"Of course no problem, I can also see if all Chinese people are as smart as you, or are you the only one!"
Ramsey didn't say this kind of thing to look down on the Chinese, but just wanted to make a little joke with Chen Muwu.
After the greetings, Ramsey wanted to take the opportunity of the Apostolic Society meeting to introduce to Chen Muwu the latest achievements of the Chen-Ramsey theory during his absence.
However, Chen Muwu can also be regarded as a prominent figure in the Apostolic Society, and there are many people who are waiting for Ramsey to leave and come forward to greet their Chen brothers.
Ramsey had no choice but to leave again and discuss with Chen Muwu that he would visit him at Cavendish Laboratory after a while.
"Well said, Brother Ramsay, I will be in the office when the time comes!"
The next person who stepped forward to greet Chen Muwu was another rich second generation in the Apostle Society, Montagu.
Although he had graduated and left, after hearing that Chen Muwu had returned to England, he rushed back to Cambridge University from London today, just so that he could meet Chen Muwu at the meeting of the Apostolic Society.
Mathematician Ramsey and Chen Muwu talked about mathematics, and Montagu, the president of the International Table Tennis Federation, and Chen Muwu naturally talked about table tennis.
The first World Table Tennis Championships – originally called the European Table Tennis Championships, which was upgraded to a world-class position because of the participation of Chinese Chen Muwu – will officially open in London on December 6 at the end of this year.
As a representative of China in the ITTF and an athlete participating in the first World Table Tennis Championships, Montague hopes that Chen Muwu can participate on time.
Seeing Montagu and hearing the World Table Tennis Championships, Chen Muwu remembered that he seemed to owe the ITTF president a men's singles championship trophy, the China Cup.
Later, he also played a few games with Montagu, the national player of the British team, at Cambridge University, and found that he may not be able to beat the level of the uncle on the community table tennis table, and the record of the battle against Montague is actually less defeat and more wins.
Since then, Chen Muwu has been looking forward to the upcoming World Table Tennis Championships, and he may be the first athlete to own a men's singles championship trophy by donating a men's singles championship trophy.
One by one, Chen Muwu didn't know how long it took, and finally finished greeting these people from the Apostle Society.
The next stage was the meal and small talk, Chen Muwu went to a corner and found a person in charge of docking with Penguin Press, and wanted to talk to him about helping Oppenheimer publish his travelogue.
may be because of the introverted character of the Chinese, in public places such as the Apostolic Society's gatherings, Chen Muwu has always maintained a very low way of speaking.
The loudest voice in the room was a student from the United States, who was said to be the son of an oil tycoon.
"I received a letter from my father from the United States a few days ago, saying that a German guy had put forward an extremely outrageous theory at a meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
He said that the seven continents of the earth were originally just one piece of land. Later, after a series of things such as splitting and drifting, it became what is printed on the world map today.
With the exception of the chairman of the meeting, who was inconvenient to vote, everyone else rejected this fanciful hypothesis.
"Germans of this level still want to go to the United States to cheat funds, and I think this mythical German academic community seems to be nothing more than that!"
