Einstein came to Brussels, Belgium to attend the conference for two main purposes.

On the one hand, as the most talked-about physicist in the world right now, he wants to prop up his country, Germany, like Planck.

Germany is a country that has finally regained the world's acceptance and returned to the embrace of the mainstream physics community, and it cannot be said that German physics, after being isolated from the world for nearly a decade, has lost its top position for many years in the hands of its own generation.

On the other hand, Einstein still came to Chen Muwu.

It is difficult to say whether this is because British physicists opened their minds at the same time at a certain moment and made concerted efforts, or whether there was suddenly a catfish like Chen Muwu, who plunged into the British physics community and tossed around, and even other British physicists were also active.

However, Einstein found Chen Muwu this time, not to fight him, so as to help Germany defeat Britain again, which has a faint momentum of overtaking in corners, and rebuild the hegemony of physics.

The reason why he came to Chen Muwu to quarrel was still related to quantum mechanics.

To be honest, Einstein wasn't that interested in the theme of the Fifth Solvay Conference, which was what's in the nucleus.

He even wanted to persuade Chen Muwu, the initiator of the fallacy of quantum mechanics, to let him take the initiative to give up this mysterious physics discipline as a founder, and stop basing the laws of the universe on uncertainty without a foundation.

Before the start of the first day of the conference, Einstein deliberately did not come to the main hall of the lecture hall early in the morning, as Planck did.

He didn't want to be surrounded by many colleagues from all over the world who wanted to talk to him, so he missed the opportunity to exchange quantum mechanics with Chen Muwu.

So Einstein arrived a few minutes later than the German army, just in time for the conference to begin.

After entering the door, he stood in front of the gate of the venue and looked at the group of people sitting in front of him, and searched for a while, but he didn't find Chen Muwu.

The crowd looked for Chen thousands of degrees, and suddenly looked back, but the man was sitting in the corner by the gate.

This made Einstein feel angry and funny, obviously there were still many empty seats in the venue, but why did Chen Muwu sit in such a corner that was easily overlooked?

So there was the sentence that just rang in Chen Muwu's ears, and after finishing speaking, Einstein took the opportunity to sit next to him.

"Good morning, Chen. Why didn't you sit with everyone and choose such a corner? ”

He also responded politely to Chen Muwu.

"Those people, especially my teacher Sir Rutherford, Sir Prague of the University of London, and Professor Bohr from Copenhagen, smoked so diligently.

"I don't smoke myself, and I can't stand the smoky smell of tobacco burning, so I chose this well-ventilated location away from the crowds.

"Professor Einstein, as the physicist who attracted the most attention at this conference, why didn't you sit in the crowd?"

Chen Muwu asked knowingly, and kicked the ball back again.

"Studying atoms, nuclei, and what might exist in nuclei is your favorite thing to do in Cavendish Labs.

"I've always had a terrible hands-on level, not even with an experimental level. I prefer to use my own brain to think rather than do it myself. ”

As Einstein spoke, he stretched out the index finger of his right hand and pointed to his head.

The content of his words and the demeanor when he spoke made Chen Muwu feel like he saw Sheldon laughing at Leonard in "The Big Bang Theory".

But this is not a mockery, but Einstein really didn't have the ability to do experiments.

In the photoelectric effect experiment, he has even given the design scheme of the experiment in his paper, and the instruments and materials required are not complicated.

But in this way, he did not do this experiment himself, so he gave a result that would win the Nobel Prize in physics in the future to Milligan in the United States, who questioned his theory.

"Please."

Chen Muwu nodded politely to Einstein, who had just sat down, and continued to look down at the empty white paper in his hand.

He knew that Einstein was looking for himself, and he definitely didn't just come to say a few pleasantries, but was about to get into his main topic.

Sure enough, Einstein, who had been quiet for not even half a minute, started his next topic as Chen Muwu guessed.

"Chen, what are you doing? Why stare in a daze at a blank piece of paper? ”

"Oh, Professor Einstein, before coming to Belgium, Mr. Chaplin and Mr. Van Punk from the American film industry were guests in Cambridge and asked me to help them write something about aliens. Before the meeting officially began, I was thinking about where to start with this material. ”

He has long developed the excellent quality of not blushing and not beating when he lies, obviously waiting for Einstein's next question to ask him, but he deliberately said things in a high-sounding manner.

"Do you remember that when we met yesterday, you said that you had recently met a new friend who had unique research and insights into quantum mechanics. So, where is that friend of yours? ”

Einstein felt that Chen Muwu's words yesterday were purely coaxing himself.

He himself is the proposer of the theory of quantum mechanics, how could he have a friend who has studied quantum mechanics more deeply and thoroughly than him?

But yesterday was not only Chen Muwu and him, but also Professor Planck, who was in the same room as him.

His old man, who was deceived by Chen Muwu, actually spoke for Chen Muwu kindly, which made Einstein unable to continue to ask.

Today, Professor Planck sat in the middle of the room, and Chen Muwu was in a quiet corner.

This is definitely an opportunity given to him by God, so that he can torture Chen Muwu well in quantum mechanics for a while.

If he can successfully convince him to make Chen Muwu realize his mistake and give up the ridiculous and uncertain parts of quantum mechanics, he can be regarded as living up to the various preparations he has made in the past year.

"Oh, are you asking my friend? He is an extremely punctual person who shows up just right every time. ”

Another purpose of Chen Muwu's sitting in the corner of the conference hall was to fear that Wittgenstein, as an outsider who could not understand physics, would feel lonely sitting alone in the venue of the Solvay Conference.

Although he was "instigated" by Chen Muwu to make up for quantum mechanics for a period of time, the theme of this conference is more related to physics experiments.

Since Chen Muwu had invited Wittgenstein, the great god, from Cambridge University, he was responsible for "sending the Buddha to the East", asking him to give Einstein a good lecture on philosophy, and so that Wittgenstein could think that his trip to Belgium was worthwhile and return to Austria happily.

He also did not tell Wittgenstein that the person with whom he wanted to discuss the philosophy behind quantum mechanics was Albert Einstein, because he was afraid of putting pressure on Wittgenstein.

Einstein didn't expect that the friend Chen Muwu was talking about was not himself, but someone else.

Just as Chen Muwu was explaining to him, Dr. Chen's friend Buddha-figure also appeared at the door of the venue on time five minutes before the meeting began.

"Ludwig, here!"

Wittgenstein, who heard the call, turned his head to look at Chen Muwu, and at the same time saw the world's most famous physicist, Albert Einstein, sitting next to Chen Muwu.

The old surname Wittgenstein means "white stone" in German.

The surname Einstein means "a stone (stein)" in German.

Chen Muwu suddenly remembered that the representative of the famous family among the hundred schools of thought during the Warring States Period, Gongsun Long, the disciple of the Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State, once put forward a famous thesis in his book "Gongsun Longzi", called "Jianbai Theory".

The general meaning of this theory is that for a white stone, it can be said that the stone is white or the stone is hard, but it cannot be said that the stone is both white and hard at the same time.

Because it is the sight that can see the color of the stone, and the touch of the hard stone can be felt.

He can't see the hardness of the stone with his eyes, and he can't touch the color of the stone with his fingers, so he said that the two properties of the stone, white and hard, can be combined, but not directly combined.

Later generations of those who liked to be far-fetched and boasted about the wisdom of their ancestors often referred to a fallacious theory, saying that Gongsun Long's theory of solidity and the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics were similar.

It's just that in these two theories, except for the addition of the qualifier of "cannot be at the same time", it is simply a North Sea and a South China Sea, and the wind and horses and cattle are not related.

Chen Muwu just accidentally thought of the surnames of these two people, a white stone and a stone, and inexplicably remembered the theory put forward by Gongsun Long.

I don't know if Wittgenstein's white stone can successfully defeat Einstein's hard stone?

Taking advantage of the few seconds that Wittgenstein walked towards the two, Chen Muwu took the time to introduce Einstein to the side of him: "Professor Einstein, this is the friend I am talking about, who studied mathematics and philosophy with Professor Russell at Cambridge University a few years ago.

"Mr. Wittgenstein is Austrian, so we can communicate with each other without any barriers in German.

"Ludwig, this is the smartest man in the world today, Professor Einstein, director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics in Berlin."

As he spoke, Wittgenstein also approached the two of them.

It's not that Einstein didn't pay attention to philosophy, it's just that he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the forefront of philosophical research today.

So he only heard a little about the fact that there was a professor Russell at Cambridge University in England who studied philosophy, but he didn't know that Russell also had a student who had written a book of "Treatise on Logic and Philosophy".

Einstein stood up and shook Wittgenstein's hand, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Muwu secretly moved his seat inside.

Since everyone can speak German, there is no need for Chen Muwu to act as a translator in the middle, accepting the collision of views between the left and right.

It was the wisest way for him to give up his position and escape from the main battlefield where the two ideas clashed.

After sitting back down, Einstein did not rush to attack Chen Muwu and his friends, but looked at the rostrum without saying a word.

At half past nine in the morning, the fifth session of the Solvay Conference officially began, and the President of the conference, Professor Lorenz, took the stage first to make the opening statement of the session.

In his speech, Lorenz did not hesitate to praise himself, pointing out one achievement after another created by Chen Muwu in the research on atomic nuclei in the past three years:

Together with his colleague Blackett in the lab, he first observed the first nuclear transmutation in the history of physics from a photographic disc that recorded the trajectory of the cloud chamber.

Then, in a low-temperature environment, the first isotope of hydrogen was isolated from liquid hydrogen.

He built the first particle accelerator in human history at Cambridge University and instructed his students to use it to complete the first nuclear reaction by human intervention.

In addition, shortly before the opening of the Solvay Conference, Chen Muwu once again conducted experiments on the particle accelerator and achieved new research results.

He discovered another isotope of hydrogen, hypergravity hydrogen, and completed the first nuclear fusion of mankind, giving a guess about the possible nuclear reaction in the sun and sun-like stars.

In one thing after another stated by Lorenz, the eyes of the participants looked at Chen Muwu again and again.

Under the gaze of everyone, Einstein just wanted to argue with Chen Muwu and Wittgenstein about quantum mechanics, and he was a little embarrassed.

Finally, after Lorenz finished speaking, he announced the official opening of this Solvay Conference.

Einstein finally had a chance to speak, but he didn't expect Lorenz on the rostrum to leave, but called the focus on Chen Muwu in the corner and asked him to be the first to speak on the stage.

Just as participants can sit in the audience at will, the order of the speeches is not predetermined, and anyone who wants to express their views in front of physicists at the conference only needs to raise their hand before speaking and can speak freely.

If no one wants to go on stage, Lorenz, as the chairman of the conference, also has the right to ask the participants for their opinions, and invite them to come to the stage by name to present their academic research results or opinions.

Letting Chen Muwu be the first to speak on stage shows the importance that Professor Lorenz attaches to him.

But at the very beginning of the conference, this situation occurred, and it was something that no one in the audience expected.

Of course, after hearing this invitation, the most deceived one was Albert Einstein.

Before he had time to challenge Chen Muwu in quantum mechanics, why did he have to be the first to come to the stage to make a report?

Hearing Lorenz call his name, Chen Muwu's first reaction was also taken aback.

But he himself did not panic at all, because he had already completed all the preparation of the speech under the urging and supervision of Eddington.

And this speech on the stage is simply a God-given opportunity to get out, and there is no need to listen to the two people around me talking endlessly about the topic of quantum mechanics.

Chen Muwu found a notebook in the briefcase he carried with him, as well as several slides that he had also made when he was at Cambridge University.

He stood up from the corner of the room, smiled at Einstein and Wittgenstein, and said, "Professor Lorenz called me to speak on stage, and I'm really sorry that I can't be with you." Feel free to discuss quantum mechanics without worrying about my presence or not. ”
