1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 142 Bruce, are you a genius?
Li Qiwei's wonderful speech at the University of Copenhagen won applause from all teachers and students.

Soon, under Oster's guidance, many students asked questions boldly.

At this time, a young man with a funny face said:

"Bruce, I want to ask you, why didn't you talk about the theory of special relativity this time?"

"I've found a few loopholes and I'd like to discuss them with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone recognized him and said, "It's the funny Pique, he just likes to attract attention."

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Obviously everyone knows that Peake is talking nonsense. It would be strange if he could understand the theory of relativity.

Li Qiwei knew that this was a deliberate display by the other party, commonly known as the atmosphere group. He smiled and said, "Pike, right? I am very happy that you are interested in the theory of relativity."

"I'd be happy to discuss academic issues about it with you."

"But today's topic was set by Professor Oster."

"So I can only give you a lecture on relativity in another time and space."

"There is both another me and another you."

"Okay, the me from another time and space has started talking about the theory of relativity, you can listen."

Li Qiwei's words, which were both humorous and scientifically distorted, instantly caused everyone to laugh.

"I hope that in another time and space, Peake is a fool, so that he can't mess around with science."

"It's better for him to fail math every time."

Most students were complaining about Pique. Apparently this guy liked to make trouble in school and was not liked by others.

But there are still a few professors who are thinking quietly.

They found what Li Qiwei said very interesting.

In another time and space?
Are there different time and space in this world?

The more I think about it, the more creepy it feels.

At this moment, they realized how terrifying Bruce was. Every word he said seemed to contain endless secrets.

At this time, a girl stood up, which made Li Qiwei's eyes light up.

There was no way. Since he traveled to this era to pursue academic studies, he had never seen a female college student.

Madame Curie doesn't count, she was a middle school teacher.

You can imagine how excited he was to meet a female student at the University of Copenhagen.

This female student doesn't seem to be stage-frightened at all, although her appearance is only average and cannot be compared with Wang Luyao.

But she held her head high, and was generous and open-minded, with a unique temperament.

Sure enough, at this moment the little witch looked at Li Qiwei with a smile on her lips, the meaning was self-evident.

So Li Qiwei behaved like a gentleman, looked directly into the female student's eyes, with a serious yet casual expression.

However, objects with greater mass have stronger attraction, which can even bend the line of sight. The laws of physics cannot be violated.

Li Qiwei could only say silently in his heart: Lu Yao, I didn’t mean to do that, she was the one sucking me.

At this time, the generous woman looked at Li Qiwei with a strange look in her eyes, as if she wanted to eat him.

She said with a smile: "Hello, Senior Bruce, my name is Caroline."

“Your lecture was very interesting and I benefited a lot from it.”

"But there's a question that's been bothering me, so I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you."

"I often hear things like: girls are not suitable for science, girls are less intelligent than boys, etc."

“But I think I am no worse than anyone else.”

“Do you think women can achieve great things in science?”

After hearing this question, Li Qiwei's expression became serious. He certainly knew how to answer:

"Hello Caroline, first of all, let me make it clear that anyone can achieve great things, no matter what field they are in."

"There may be innate differences in physical strength between women and men, but there is no evidence that there is any difference in intelligence between the two."

“No matter what the field is, the roles of men and women are the same.”

"Take physics as an example. Marie Curie has always been my idol."

"She faced countless malicious ridicules from men, but still achieved great results in physics, such as discovering radioactive elements."

"I think she will win a Nobel Prize in Physics sometime."

“Let me ask you, are women like this any worse than men?”

Caroline nodded repeatedly as she listened, and it was obvious that Li Qiwei had touched her heart.

Madame Curie is also her idol.

"For example, in the field of mathematics, almost everyone agrees that women cannot study mathematics because mathematics requires rigorous logic."

"This is complete nonsense!"

"A great counter-example is Ms. Grace from Cambridge University, a woman I admire."

"After graduating from Cambridge University, she obtained a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Göttingen in Germany in 1895."

"She has done outstanding and innovative work in the field of advanced integral theory."

"I've been studying mathematics recently and have read the papers she wrote. They are very exciting and profound."

"The above two examples are enough to show that women are absolutely no worse than men in the field of science."

"So, Caroline, you don't have to underestimate yourself. The fact that you were admitted to the University of Copenhagen has already proved your ability."

Caroline was so moved by Li Qiwei's words that her eyes were almost wet.

At this moment, the image of Li Qiwei in her mind became extremely tall and majestic.

Even many male students nodded secretly, and some even showed ashamed expressions, obviously they had discriminated against women in the past.

Then, Ridgway added: “That’s why I like the University of Copenhagen.”

"You know, even Cambridge University doesn't admit female students at the moment."

“Or even if they admit women, they won’t award them degrees.”

“A lot of the universities I’ve been to have this policy.”

"In my country, women didn't even have the right to go to school before."

"But now, things are slowly changing. Women can go to school and do all kinds of work."

“I believe that the future will definitely get better and better.”

"So, Caroline, you have to cheer up and let us speak up for women's rights together." At this moment, there was even warm applause in the conference hall, and everyone was moved by Li Qiwei's broad mind.

Caroline, in particular, was so excited that her face turned red. She kept clapping her hands and her body was shaking with the effort.

This made Li Qiwei dazzled.

He regretted meeting Wang Luyao too early, otherwise he would have to win glory for the Chinese people tonight.

In the future, Li Qiwei will have another title: Friend of Women.

Countless enlightened women praised him as: the first great man who spoke up for women and devoted his life to fighting for the women's cause.

At this moment, when Li Qiwei finished speaking, he saw that even Wang Luyao's eyes were almost wet.

Obviously, women in this era have suffered too much oppression, and as long as someone says a few good words for them, they can win their heart.

At this moment, Li Qiwei felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

Next, more people asked questions, but everyone started asking physics questions rather than social issues.

Obviously, the atmosphere just now was a bit sad and needed to be adjusted.

"Bruce, since atoms cannot be directly observed, how can we prove their existence?"

[Physicists' means of observation are not limited to the naked eye and microscope, but also consider the interaction. 】

【Since a substance exists, it will definitely interact with its surroundings. This is the essence of observation.】

"Bruce, how did you come up with the idea of ​​bombarding gold atoms with alpha particles to come up with a planetary model?"

【This is the inspiration I got from Professor Rutherford. 】

[Remember that physics research cannot be done in isolation, and you must communicate with other physicists. ]

【Only by knowing the extent of others’ research can you have the most profound understanding of the problem. 】

[Newton said that standing on the shoulders of predecessors is crucial for scientific research. 】

"Bruce, do you think there are more subdivided structures inside the nucleus?"

【Everything must be based on experimental data. Speculations without data are meaningless. 】

[Even my special theory of relativity is based on the induction of objective physical facts.]

[If you think the nucleus has structure, then find a way to do an experiment.]

Li Qiwei was calm and composed on the stage, and he could easily cite various formulas and theories, which made the students below admire him very much.

We are of the same age, how come he knows so much?

Bruce was also 22 years old, but he had already won the Nobel Prize, while I had not yet graduated from college.

Many students suffered a huge psychological blow.

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!

Just when Li Qiwei was giving orders and beating up a group of students to the point of despair.

In a corner of the venue, a father and son were talking.

The father among them was Professor Christine who had greeted Li Qiwei earlier.

The child who was talking to him was his eldest son, the young man with bright eyes.

"Father, I also want to ask Bruce a question."

Professor Christine looked at his son lovingly and said with a smile, "Oh, don't you like playing football the most? Why are you interested in physics?"

The boy smiled and said, "Hey, when I have nothing to do, I like to read those physics books you collected."

"I don't think it's that difficult. I can know the answers to many mechanics questions without having to calculate them on paper."

Christine smiled and said, "Haha, that's because those are basic knowledge, prepared for ordinary students to get started."

"The physics that Bruce studies is not as simple as you think."

“Even I, his father, can’t understand his thesis.”

The boy was very confident and not discouraged at all. "Hey, I just don't believe he is that good."

So he raised his right hand, wanting to challenge this big name in the physics world.

Li Qiwei on the stage noticed someone raising his hand. He looked closely and found that it was the young man from before.

He immediately became interested, "Young man, do you have any questions?"

The boy stood up with a smile on his face and said loudly: "Hello, Bruce, I am 17 years old."

"I haven't been to college yet, but I'm also interested in physics."

“I’ve read your article in Nature before.”

"Your declaration at the end of the article really got me excited and my blood was boiling."

"I want to ask you, are you a genius?"

boom!
There was a burst of exclamations in the meeting hall.

Everyone looked at the young man, thinking that he was indeed full of youthful vigor.

Compared with the other side, these college students are all old noobs.

However, they were also attracted by this question.

Li Qiwei's theory of genius made everyone in the field of physics feel angry.

They want to become the geniuses who look down on all living beings in this golden age of physics!

Christine could only smile bitterly.

His eldest son has been gifted since childhood and has strong logical and imaginative abilities.

He is not afraid of authority and loves to debate with others. He can often discuss a scientific issue with himself until late at night and not even sleep.

Instead of blaming his eldest son for his behavior, he somewhat admired his outspoken and authority-challenging personality.

He even saw that Bruce had a smile on his face and was obviously not angry.

Christine thought to herself, maybe this is genius.

Geniuses don't like flattery from others, they only like challenges from others.

A genius has no time for flattery; he always speaks his mind.

That’s right, Li Qiwei admired this young man very much, so he asked first: “Before I answer you, can you tell me your name?”

The boy said, "My name is Niels Bohr."
