1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 315: The Second Bruce Conference! Li Qiwei's domineering declaration! He challenges the whole world alone!

More than a month has passed since the publication of the general theory of relativity.

During this month, the entire scientific community has been in turmoil and upheaval.

Countless people are shocked by the vastness of the universe and indulge in the pleasure of controlling the space and time of the universe.

Believe in Brother Li and you will have eternal life!
Although most people cannot understand the paper, they can understand the conclusion.

The five major prophecies are like the five fruits planted by God.

It represents some kind of universal truth.

Countless geniuses flocked to it, trying to provide proof.

If you get one, your name will go down in history.

In addition, the explanation of the precession of Mercury's perihelion in Guang Xiang has also been repeatedly calculated by many physicists.

Although the exact solution of Bruce's field equations is too difficult.

However, if we use mathematical methods to transform the second-order equation into a first-order equation, it will be much easier to solve.

The calculated results are exactly the same as Li Qiwei's data.

The error is only one thousandth, which is completely acceptable.

A problem that had remained unsolved in the physics community for decades was solved so easily.

It's so easy that not many people even care.

Because it is only the most trivial application of general relativity.

Compared with the five major prophecies, it is like the light of a firefly competing with the bright moon.

The problem of Mercury's perihelion has given everyone more confidence in the general phase.

With Bruce's name and a valid experimental proof, Guangxiang's position has become difficult to shake.

At this point, Li Qiwei's name spread throughout the world.

Although he could be considered the best before, he had some flaws.

In the field of physics, he is just a little better than others.

For example, Planck, Lorentz, Thomson and other big names are all a certain distance away from him.

But this distance is within reach.

However, once Guangxiang appeared, everything was different.

Li Qiwei rose to fame overnight and became a great figure comparable to Newton.

A living legend in this world, he must stand at the center when taking photos.

The gap between him and others is not huge, but a chasm.

The so-called natural barrier is something that mortals cannot cross.

This step can no longer be achieved by hard work alone.

Only those with extraordinary talent have a chance to try.

And the genius could only see Li Qiwei's back.

In the past month, Li Qiwei has hardly gone out.

During this period, Thomson, Rutherford, Wilson and others came to see him respectively.

Naturally, there was some greetings and sighs.

Wilson secretly pulled Li Qiwei and asked, "Bruce, can you open a back door for me?"

"Which of the five predictions is the easiest?"

"I want to try."

The first sentence gave Li Qiwei goosebumps instantly.

He replied: "They are all easy, I just don't have the time to do it."

Wilson left without saying a word, and before leaving he took away all the trash tea as a sign of protest.

In addition to many good friends, Hubble even brought Eddington and Schwarzschild to Ridgway, which made the two very excited.

There was no choice. Hubble and Ai Shi hit it off at first sight, and at the request of his friends, he agreed to help.

Eddington's admiration for Ridgway had reached its peak.

He now felt that he was qualified to meet the other party.

So he solemnly asked Hubble for permission to meet Professor Bruce.

He wanted to discuss with the other party the possibility of verifying the bending of light.

Faced with Eddington's sincere request, Hubble thought about it and agreed with gritted teeth.

Because he knew that Professor Bruce had just delivered his general statement, there shouldn't be much to do for the time being.

So he bought himself an hour.

"Professor Bruce is willing to talk to you for an hour."

This news made Eddington and Schwarzschild extremely excited.

Decades later, when the gray-haired Eddington was interviewed by a reporter, he said:
"I'm ashamed to say that it was my first time meeting Professor Bruce up close, and I was too nervous and excited."

"I didn't hear a lot of what he said, and my head was dizzy."

"Although his English is not particularly standard, his domineering temperament is very impressive."

"Compared to that, our self-proclaimed noble Oxford accent is like a beggar showing off how much money he has begged today."

"You haven't talked to Professor Bruce in person, so you can't imagine what kind of man he is."

"In just a few minutes, he helped me perfect a method for measuring the bending of light during a total solar eclipse."

"I even suspect that the five major predictions were deliberately thrown out by Professor Bruce."

"Maybe he feels these things are not worth his time."

"Because they are just details of general relativity."

"Even so, it is enough for a genius in the eyes of the world to spend his entire life studying it."

"This is Professor Bruce."

By then, Eddington was already a big name in the scientific community.

But when it comes to Professor Bruce, he still behaves like a naive child with a strong thirst for knowledge.

As for Schwarzschild, he was much calmer because of his age.

He asked several questions about the future of astronomy and received satisfactory answers.

Schwarzschild was shocked by Li Qiwei's vast amount of knowledge.

How can one person understand and be proficient in so many fields at the same time?

But Professor Bruce did it.

During the one-hour conversation.

They talked from physics to chemistry, and from chemistry to biology.

Then we talked about astronomy.

Bruce even shared his experience in novel writing with them.

Schwarzschild sighed: "Professor Bruce is the one who truly loves life and science."
-

In the following period, many people wanted to visit Li Qiwei every day.

There are senior government officials, celebrities, literary giants, and so on.

In order to treat everyone equally, Li Qiwei had no choice but to ignore them all.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to do anything every day and it would be a waste of time.

And his excuse was very good, he had to prepare for the next second Bruce Conference.

Now he has the confidence to refuse anyone.

Even if the king invited him, he had to consider his own time.

However, the arrival of an unexpected guest made Li Qiwei overjoyed, and he even greeted him in person.

Inside the office of the Head of Physics Department at King's College.

Li Qiwei looked at the person who came and sighed.

"Zi Yu, it's been four or five years since we last met."

The person who came was Zhou Ziyu, whom Li Qiwei met in the country.

At this moment, Zhou Ziyu's face was already full of vicissitudes, and he no longer had the vigor and vitality he had before.

This shows how complicated his experience was.

Zhou Ziyu sighed: "Life is so difficult. I am speechless."

"But don't worry, Qiwei. I continued your reform policies during the few months I served as Minister of Education."

"I have to say, you are very far-sighted."

“Borneo is a great move.”

“Now, many students in the country are willing to study in Borneo.”

"The name of Huangpu Polytechnic University has been deeply rooted in people's hearts."

Li Qiwei didn't feel happy at all after hearing this.

He said: "I am just keeping a little fire."

"The rise of China definitely requires more than just me."

“It’s the common awakening of tens of millions of compatriots.”

"I believe that everything will be fine in the future."

Li Qiwei's words made Zhou Ziyu feel much better.

Given the other party's current status and influence, his words already contained a certain profound secret.

The intuition of such a person is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Zhou Ziyu said: "When I came to Europe, someone from the domestic education system asked me to bring a message to you."

"The country hopes to invite you back to serve as Minister of Education."

"I told them the chance was only 1 percent."

Li Qiwei was suddenly speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Zi Yu Ni is the one who understands me." "I am used to being lazy."

"I don't like being constrained."

“I definitely won’t accept this position.”

"I didn't expect that the country would still be willing to accept a remnant of the Qing Dynasty like me."

"I am Guangxu's imperial tutor and the Minister of Education."

Zhou Ziyu laughed out loud.

"Qiwi, with your current status and achievements."

"Don't even mention being the Imperial Master. Even if you are Guangxu's biological father, the country still has to respect you."

"You alone have greatly improved China's international status."

"When I came to Europe, I heard your name everywhere."

“It really took my breath away.”

Li Qiwei was very happy to be praised by Zhou Ziyu.

"Zi Yu, what are your plans for coming to Europe this time?"

"Do you need my help?"

Zhou Ziyu sighed: "Although I chose to come out in a fit of anger."

"But sooner or later I will have to return to my country."

"I am completely relieved that you are in the country's scientific and educational undertakings."

"But I found that what the country lacks now is not talent, but ideas."

"You have accomplished a lot with Project Spark."

"Almost all college students in China now worship you and regard you as their spiritual idol."

"However, they lack a systematic thinking that would allow them to give full play to their intelligence and talents."

"I am studying in France this time to learn some philosophy."

“I hope to awaken more people in the future.”

Li Qiwei was immediately in awe.

"Zi Yu, if you have any difficulties, please tell me immediately."

"You know, I'm not interested in politics. I'm counting on you for that."

"If you need money, I can still provide support."

Zhou Ziyu laughed out loud.

"Qiwei, I won't be polite with you then."

"I inquired carefully and found out that you are extraordinary now."

"It is said that your company in the United States is even better than Edison."

"People say you're a billionaire."

"My God, that's a billion dollars."

Li Qiwei laughed and said, "That's all just rumors."

"It's not that easy to make money from Americans. Those foreigners are very smart."

Zhou Ziyu smiled and said, "A few friends and I are planning to set up a mutual aid organization in France."

“To help young talents from China who come to France to study.”

"You know, the education department in China doesn't have the money to send students abroad at government expense."

"All the money was used to make guns, alas."

Li Qiwei certainly knew what was going on.

He did not dwell on domestic issues, but instead waved his hand and said proudly:
"Well, I will donate 3 pounds to you every year in my personal name."

Zhou Ziyu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly said, "No, Qiwei, 3 is too much."

He now knows the prices in Europe.

3 pounds, that's $15.

in the country, this is considered a wealthy person.

Li Qiwei smiled and said, "No, Brother Zhou, these are all from my heart."

"Studying abroad is different from studying in China. There are many places where you need to spend money."

"You can do great things only if you have money."

"I'm just a scientist. Domestic problems need people like you to solve them."

Zhou Ziyu immediately felt admiration.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Li Qiwei.

"Qiwi, thank you on behalf of everyone."

"Absolutely not." Li Qiwei quickly stood up to stop it.

Then, the two talked about some domestic affairs.

This also gave Li Qiwei a deeper understanding of the country.

After seeing Zhou Ziyu off, Li Qiwei was in a good mood.

It is precisely because there are countless people like Zhou Ziyu in the country that China's fortune will never end.

He is in charge of the outside, and there must be someone else to take charge of the inside.
-

As more and more people joined the study of general relativity, doubts soon arose.

There are not only physicists here, but also astronomers and even biologists.

Of course, the majority are amateur scientists.

Amateur scientists' passion for general relativity surpasses that of orthodox scientists.

For a time, various tabloids published various papers.

From many strange angles, we question the bizarre conclusions of Guangxiang.

For example, some people ask, since the universe is expanding, why don’t we humans feel a sense of tearing?

Isn’t the human body also a space?

Li Qiwei himself did not respond to this.

The physics masters didn't respond either because they were busy catching up on math.

I don't have time to fool around with these people.

Bruce originally questioned Newton's laws, but then he came up with the theory of special relativity.

It convinces people through rigorous logic and sophisticated mathematical formulas.

And now these people are questioning the general theory of relativity based only on simple logic and imagination.

This is not nonsense.

A certain senior figure who did not want to be named said: "As long as you have a little knowledge of calculus, you can get rid of the status of amateur scientists."

Some people jokingly say that the bigger the boss is, the less likely he is to ask questions about the Prime Minister.

Because they are currently unable to even gain a deep understanding of the general situation, how can they raise any questions?

In this regard, Li Qiwei saw that the time was almost right, and he finally chose to take action.

On August 1912, 8, Ridgwell published his article in Nature.

"Given the enormous influence of general relativity, the second Bruce Conference was slightly adjusted."

“The first two days were professional conferences in the field of physics.”

“The number of participants is still by invitation only.”

“The third day will be an open meeting, open to everyone regardless of professional field.”

"I will give a special lecture on general relativity on the third day."

Finally, Li Qiwei said domineeringly at the end of the article:
"Any theory must withstand various tests, and general relativity is no exception."

"I will openly accept all questions from everyone."

"But I sincerely suggest that you use these few months to learn mathematics well."

boom!
Once the article was published, it instantly caused an 18-magnitude earthquake in the scientific community.

Whether it was the restructuring of the Second Bruce Conference or Li Qiwei’s final domineering declaration.

It almost made everyone climax.

"Oh my God, Professor Bruce is going to take on the entire scientific community alone."

"No, not limited to any profession, not just the scientific community, but the whole world."

"I'm so domineering! So damn domineering!"

"God, if I could have this day, I would be willing to live a year less."

"No, I'm almost out."

At this moment, Li Qiwei's name made everyone in the world crazy.

He will challenge a feat that has never been accomplished by anyone since ancient times.

With the wisdom of one person, he can challenge the whole world.

This is a great coincidence with the right time, right place and right people.

unprecedented.

Throughout the ages, great sages had wisdom that transcended their time, but they never had the opportunity to communicate with the whole world at the same time.

In Li Qiwei's previous life, although communications were developed.

But there is no such a peerless boss who can dominate the world, so no one is qualified to do so.

Only now, Li Qiwei has become a saint and the only living legend in the world.

In this era of scientific explosion.

Across the world!

The saint appears in the world!
