119 I will be your witness
While Chen Muwu and Rutherford were communicating outside the venue, Einstein was also grinning and laughing with Planck in the venue.
Allowing Chen Muwu to admit that he had made a mistake in quantum mechanics was the biggest gain from his trip to Brussels to attend the Solvay Conference.
The Solvay conference is drawing to a close, and while waiting for a group photo, scientists from all over the world, like Rutherford and Muwu Chen, Planck and Einstein, are making final exchanges inside and outside the venue.
In the days when there were basically no passenger planes, European scientists were able to visit each other and meet each other by train in three to five days.
These scientists from the Americas, if they want to make a trip to Europe, need to spend as little as 10 days on the road, and at most 15 days.
Therefore, it is rare for them to have a chance to meet, and they must explain all the things they can think of or can't think of before it is cost-effective.
Kapitsa, who was familiar with himself, used his "Kapitsa", which is a mixture of Russian, English, French and other languages, to find his senior brother Bohr.
As a newlywed, he would take his wife, Anna, on sightseeing tours of Brussels during the Solvay Conference.
After the Solvay meeting, he also thought about taking Anna to Denmark.
And Bohr, as the host, had a good relationship with him, and the two of them went to a foreign country in a few days, and if they encountered something, they could at least get the help of such a local.
Bohr did not care about Kapitsa, who was also his junior brother, as he did about Chen Muwu at the beginning.
Because the institute he founded under the University of Copenhagen, called the Institute of Theoretical Physics, the academic research he does is more focused on the theory of physics.
And Kapitsa is an experimenter in Cavendis's laboratory, and his achievements in theoretical research are not comparable to his other junior brother Chen Muwu, and even the wooden Englishman Dirac next to Chen Muwu is not comparable.
Bohr thought to himself, since Chen Muwu couldn't dig up Copenhagen, shouldn't he find an opportunity to dig up Dirac?
Both students were going north, and Rutherford was very relieved about Capitsa.
Because before and after his marriage, he had already settled his home near Cambridge University, and it was clear that he wanted to continue working at Cambridge University, and this time he left only for a short vacation.
But Chen Muwu wants to go to Sweden, which has always been a problem for Rutherford.
He didn't know if he could persuade the prodigal son to turn back and make Chen Muwu change his mind.
At the same time, he also resented his lack of ability in his heart, why couldn't he help Chen Muwu build a school at Cambridge University like the Swedish crown prince?
However, the new Nobel laureates in physics, Zhao Zhongyao and Cowcroft, have issued several sales orders for single particle accelerators for Cambridge University.
This is not only because they won the award because they have something to do with the particle accelerator, but also because Chen Muwu took the lead in giving a speech at the beginning of the conference and made an outstanding advertisement for the particle accelerator.
With the exception of the Institute of Radium at the University of Paris, France, those scientists, led by Marie Curie, showed no interest in particle accelerators.
This is because her prospective son-in-law has already explained to her that particle accelerators are outdated products, and newer and better cyclotrons will appear soon.
For other universities and laboratories, Chen Muwu did not refuse to rush to send money to Cavendish Laboratory.
He felt that if he helped others install the particle accelerator, he would probably spend a lot of money to build the latest cyclotron in Stockholm not long after, and the physics colleagues who had been wronged might curse him.
But curse it, the money from selling particle accelerators is the last contribution you make to the Cavendish Laboratory.
He also felt a little sorry for his teacher Rutherford, for old Thomson, for the others who had helped him in the Cavendish laboratory and at Cambridge University, because he was about to leave.
This time, I came to the Solvay conference with a mission, and during the conference and before the end of the meeting, I got in touch with all the physicists from various countries, and Professor Yue Fei, a teacher from Kapitsa, who wanted to bring people to visit the Sulian Academy of Sciences in Lepegrad, also found Chen Muwu while waiting for a group photo.
Su Lianren's visit made Chen Muwu startled.
He wasn't afraid that Yue Fei would invite him to Sulian again, and he had no way to refuse.
Chen Muwu just remembered that Dirac had developed a strong interest in this country a few days ago because of his communication with Zhao Zhongyao, who had just returned from Sulian, and he was afraid that Yofei would abduct Dirac.
Fortunately, Yue Fei stepped forward and did not talk about anything imaginary in Chen Muwu's mind.
He only thanked Chen Muwu for breaking through the British government's blockade this year and sending the particle accelerator to Lebegrad in the name of selling it to China.
Yue Fei also expressed his gratitude to Chen Muwu for transporting the machine and installing it on the door.
At the end, he also asked how the student named Landau, who was brought to England by Chen Muwu from Leegreg University last year, had completed his studies at Cambridge University.
He has successively trained Kapitsa and Landau, as well as some physicists in Sulian's country, and Yo Fei is a well-deserved pioneer of Sulian physics.
Chen Muwu respected him very much, so he answered the questions raised by Professor Yue Fei in detail one by one.
After Professor Yofy thanked Chen Muwu, the Solvay Foundation staff returned to the venue in the lecture hall, on the lawn of Leopold Park, where all the photographic equipment had been arranged and invited the physicists to move outside.
Unlike the last time, the staff member also specially advised everyone not to go out of the gate of Solvay Palace in a swarm, it is best to be able to go in groups of threes and twos, and it is best to stay at the door for a while.
Everyone was a little puzzled by this somewhat confusing request, but no one raised any objections, and finally complied.
When Chen Muwu walked out the door, he happened to be followed by von Neumann, who had only met once the day before the meeting and had an in-depth conversation.
As a Jew, von Neumann was not only intelligent, but also shrewd.
He is like a representative of the refined egoists of this era, thinking in his heart to express to Chen Muwu that he wants to go to Cambridge University next year and stay for another half of the year.
Von Neumann's academic arrangements for the next few years are to study mathematics at the University of Gรถttingen with Professor Hilbert for half a year every year;
The rest of the year went to Cambridge University to study physics with Chen Muwu, and the "Chen machine" that made him more interested.
As long as you follow the two top scholars in the field of mathematics and physics, you will not worry that you will not be able to make research results in these two disciplines.
Because of this, von Neumann caught up with Chen Muwu behind his back and wanted to talk to him about it.
At this time, the two people happened to walk out of the gate of Solvay Palace one after the other, and the expressions on their faces and body movements were all completely recorded by the cameras set up outside the door.
Chen Muwu said that he once saw a black-and-white video of the scientists who came to the Solvay meeting.
I didn't expect this camera to be waiting for them here.
It can only be said that the staff of the Solvay Foundation have a heart, and have left a rich video material for future generations of researchers in the history of physics.
And this time, Chen Muwu and von Neumann also became members of the future study.
Many people have seen a movie made with a video camera, but this is the first time they have stood in front of the camera lens.
Most physicists are shy and shy in front of the camera, and when they pretend to speak, their eyes always glance inadvertently at the camera's lens.
Only Chen Muwu, who has experienced a hundred battles and has seen a lot, has no stage fright, not only did he behave generously, but even waved his hand towards the camera after buttoning his hat on his head.
He thought to himself that when the shooting was over, he would ask the photographer where he had bought the machine that could pay on credit, and if there was any way.
Chen Muwu once went to Harrods in London on a special trip, and it makes no sense to say that you can't buy things in British shopping malls, but you can buy cameras in Belgium, a small country.
In fact, the Solvay Foundation specially invited a film crew from Belgium, and their machines were also imported from abroad through some means.
"Dr. Chen, I want to go to Cambridge University in the first half of next year and do academic research with you, I don't know if it's okay?"
Chen Muwu was still thinking about how to talk to the photographer, but von Neumann saw the stitches first.
Well?
"Next year...... I'm afraid not next year, I have some things in the first half of next year. โ
Looking at the expression on von Neumann's face, which was obviously a little unpleasant, Chen Muwu continued to add: "But it should be possible in the second half of next year. โ
was interjected by von Neumann, Chen Muwu forgot to chat with the photographer and walked directly to the lawn.
The staff of the Foundation had already set up a row of chairs on the lawn with the Solvay Palace as the background.
On the opposite side of the chair, a cloth-covered camera was erected.
Obviously, this group photo shoot is the back of the face machine.
As one of the taller people attending the meeting, Chen Muwu consciously walked to the middle of the last row, because he was also standing in this position last time.
But this time the situation was different, Chen Muwu had just stood still, and another staff member walked in front of him in small steps and whispered: "Dr. Chen, your position is not here. Please follow me. โ
Chen Muwu was very surprised, obviously among the physicists who came to the Solvay meeting, there should be few people who are taller than him.
If you don't stand in the middle of the last row, where should you stand?
Doubts are doubts, but the guests follow the host, Chen Muwu still set off to keep up with the footsteps of the staff.
He was led to the front of the row of chairs, and looked at the staff and pointed to a chair on the side: "Dr. Chen, you should sit here." โ
This is an unexpected position.
The first row of the Solvay conference group photo should be given to those aged and respected physicists, and in the middle of the first row is Lorenz, the chairman of the conference, and then he is flanked by Rutherford and Marie Curie, and then Planck and Einstein are outside.
The seating arrangement of these people is understandable, but Chen Muwu didn't expect that he could still have a seat, so he sat next to Einstein.
In Chen Muwu's heart, his age is just the minion who "stood at the eighteenth school dance that year".
But he didn't know that in the eyes of others, his achievements in physics had already given him a place in the first row of the group photo at the Solvay Conference.
The guest is as he pleases, and since the other party has already arranged a seat for himself, Chen Muwu will no longer refuse.
As he sat down, Einstein's smile widened.
He felt that he had succeeded in making Chen realize the mistakes he had made in quantum mechanics and abandoning his unrealistic uncertainty principle.
The next step for me is to ask Chen Muwu to shift his research direction to his own unified theory.
Einstein picked up a genius in physics like Chen Muwu from the sea of China, but because of the incompetence of his German physics colleagues, he let Rutherford of Cambridge University in the United Kingdom cool for a few years, not only made one achievement after another for the Cavendish laboratory, but also won two Nobel Prizes in physics.
Chen Muwu, a smart, easy-to-use and obedient young man, is finally his turn to be refreshed.
Einstein felt that he was about to become King Arthur who met Lancelot, and that domination of physics was just around the corner.
He was in a good mood, and while the personnel had not yet arrived, the photographer was still adjusting his camera, and he talked to Chen Muwu next to him.
"Dr. Chen, when are you and that daughter of Marie Curie's family going to get married?"
Chen Muwu answered all questions: "If nothing else, it should be next year, professor." โ
"Where will the wedding take place, whether it will be in China, England, or France?"
"Well, it's not confirmed yet, but well, there's a good chance it's ......in the UK."
โ or possibly in Sweden as well.
Chen Muwu had such an idea in his heart, but he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"Who are the witnesses to the marriage? If I haven't found it yet, I should be able to make time for your wedding next year, and be a witness by the way. โ
Einstein meant to give Chen Muwu some sweetness, especially for a life event like marriage, if he not only showed up but also helped, Dr. Chen should be very grateful to him, and he will be able to do more dedication to academic research in physics together in the future.
"Well, Professor, I'm sorry, the witness was decided a few years ago, and it's my teacher, Sir Rutherford."
Chen Muwu is very grateful to Albert Einstein for volunteering to be a witness.
However, a few years earlier, on the train back to Cambridge from Liverpool to Chadwick's wedding, he had promised to invite Rutherford to be a witness in the future.
In addition, the relationship between Lather and Eve has deepened, and Rutherford has always been preparing to serve as their marriage suitor.
When it comes to the end, you can't refuse your teacher, right?
Einstein was very angry, why was it that every time he showed kindness to Chen Muwu, he was always given a head start by Rutherford?
