1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 474 The meeting begins! All the wise men are here! Shocking speeches! Welcome the arrival of the new era of quantum!

1921 10 Month 30 Day.

The Langham Hotel, London.

As the most luxurious hotel in Europe, it has successfully hosted the first two Bruce Conferences.

This time, the ceremony was even more grand than before.

The physics academic conference for the first two days will be held in the hotel.

The third day's International Science Union Council meeting was scheduled at the Royal Society of London.

The entrance of the majestic, noble and luxurious Langham Hotel was already crowded with reporters and spectators.

Top geniuses from three generations in the field of physics gathered together to discuss the most advanced research topics in physics.

Such a brilliant and grand occasion has never appeared in history.

Everyone here has a legendary experience.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a criminal rushed into the hotel with a bomb at this moment, human history would probably come to a halt.

Because physics is the top natural science!

It is the common source of all technologies in the world.

Only when it breaks through first will it drive the rapid development of other disciplines.

Inside the hotel's high-end conference room.

Talk and laugh with ru, no contacts STOMATOLOGY.

At this moment, the big guys and geniuses are chatting happily.

Some of them just arrived today, while others arrived several days in advance.

Li Qiwei arranged hotel accommodation for everyone.

But many people choose to temporarily stay at friends' homes in London.

So, today is the first time that everyone officially gathers together.

Although everyone comes from different countries, and even the relations between some countries are not particularly friendly.

But these do not affect the atmosphere on the field.

Because the topic we are discussing today is the crystallization of human wisdom, science.

Not that disgusting politics.

Human conspiracies and tricks seem boring and ridiculous in the face of the vast ocean of stars.

The whole room was immersed in an ocean of knowledge.

Everyone was talking cordially.

Madame Curie held Irene's hands tightly, with genuine concern and love on her face.

"Kid, you've lost weight."

Irena looked at her mother and said with a smile:
"Because I'm busy doing research these days."

"Uncle Bruce's graduation requirements for PhDs are too high."

"My research results must be Nobel Prize-level before I can apply for a defense."

Madame Curie couldn't help but let out an "ah".

This is no longer high, it's abnormal.

It's too exaggerated.

She smiled bitterly and said:
"Irena, you won't feel any pressure, right?"

Irena's confidence has been overflowing due to her recent success in researching the third force.

She is full of hope for the future.

"Don't worry, Mom."

"Uncle Bruce said that the field of atomic structure is still a blue ocean."

"If I don't win the Nobel Prize, it's his responsibility, not mine."

Madame Curie smiled knowingly.

To her, this was Bruce comforting his daughter.

It is not easy to get the Nobel Prize.

Don’t underestimate the big guys present here today, almost every one of them has won a Nobel Prize.

But this is the most famous and authoritative conference in academia.

So it seems that the Nobel Prize is not worth anything.

There are countless ordinary scientific researchers outside the hotel.

For them, let alone the Nobel Prize, even the sub-journals of Nature are out of their reach.

Irena’s starting point is actually the end point for many people.

But even so, it would be extremely difficult for her to win the Nobel Prize.

But soon, Madame Curie would be amazed at Bruce's title as the Nobel Prize-winning teacher.

By no means wasted a false name.

While Madame Curie and her daughter were talking in private, Pauli came up from nowhere.

He smiled and said attentively:
"Oh! Hello, beautiful lady."

"I am Pauli."

"I have long heard of your great name. It is a great honor to meet you today."

Irena on the side was stunned.

She had never seen Pauli in such a posture.

Madame Curie had apparently heard of Pauli's name.

She smiled and responded:
"Hello, Pauli."

Pauli acted very familiar with others and soon made Madame Curie giggle.

"Madam, your existence makes physics lose its luster."

"My father likes you very much, too."

Madame Curie liked Pauli more.

Just when everyone was chatting happily.

The door to the conference room was pushed open again.

Bigwigs like Ridgway, Planck, and Thomson walked in surrounded Professor Roentgen.

Everyone immediately stopped talking, stood up and expressed their utmost respect to this senior physicist.

The X-rays invented by the other party saved countless lives in this world war.

Although X-rays themselves cannot save lives, they can help doctors quickly locate the patient's injured parts.

This can greatly save surgical time and improve the success rate of the operation.

Considering the medical conditions of this era, this is already a steal.

If Hua Tuo had been able to take a picture of Prime Minister Cao's head back then, he probably would not have been executed.

Roentgen's arrival gave the meeting a sense of historical weight.

It was as if the history of physics was rushing towards me and slowly unfolding.

When the other party was dominating the physics world, younger people like Pauli and Heisenberg were not yet born.

Everyone sighed.

"Only Professor Bruce can invite Professor Roentgen."

Although Li Qiwei is now unique in the scientific community, he is too young.

So he still entertained Roentgen, Planck and others as a junior.

When Li Qiwei reaches Roentgen's age.

Then his status will be hundreds or thousands of times higher than the latter.

Scientists all over the world will respect him!
Soon, under the arrangement of the host Lorenz, everyone sat in their seats one after another.

There were a total of 72 participants in this meeting.

Judging from the number of people alone, it can be considered a medium-sized meeting.

But if we compare the quality, it is definitely the best in the world.

Lorenz's powerful voice echoed throughout the room.

"I have been waiting for this day for nine years."

"Do you know how I got through these nine years?"

Everyone laughed.

Professor Lorenz's humorous and professional hosting style was well received.

And this is a classical physicist who is full of openness.

When modern physics buried classical physics in a revolutionary way.

Lorenz once said sadly:
"I feel great regret that I did not die before the old foundations crumbled."

But soon he forgot his regrets about the past and embraced new things in physics.

The theory of relativity and quantum theory brought new life to his mind.

If he had not had such an inclusive personality, he would have probably left the stage of history early like many unknown physicists. Lorentz continued to speak infectiously:
"Since Newton proposed the law of universal gravitation and unified heaven and earth."

"Maxwell emerged and unified electromagnetics and light once again."

“At that time, Professor Maxwell was my idol.”

“When I was young, electromagnetic theory was at its peak.”

"The mysterious electromagnetic force has become an energy that humans can use at will."

"At this point, the two fundamental forces of nature are completely under the control of physicists."

"I once thought that this might be the ultimate in physics."

"However, the appearance of Bruce completely broke my inherent thinking."

"You may not be able to imagine the shock I felt when I first saw quantum concepts and special relativity."

“It’s like the scholars of ancient Greece have come to our time.”

“That’s a whole new understanding of the nature of the world.”

“A wonderful chapter that transcends human rational thinking.”

"And now, this chapter is still being written, and it is even becoming more and more exciting and wonderful."

"It is a blessing for all physicists to be born in this era!"

Wow!
There was immediate warm applause in the conference hall.

Everyone was infected by Lorenz's strong emotions.

Almost all the young people present grew up listening to relativity and quantum theory.

They have more feelings for modern physics than classical physics.

However, traditional bigwigs like Lorenz.

The times have endowed them with the power of sedimentation and accumulation.

They have a deeper understanding of the collision between modern physics and classical physics.

Great men like Roentgen, Planck, and Thomson were all slightly moved and filled with emotion.

In today's meeting, they are actually more like background characters.

But even so, they were very satisfied.

This is what is meant by "If I hear the truth in the morning, I could die in the evening."

Lorenz looked at the people in the audience, his heart also filled with turmoil.

Although he is retired, it does not mean that he is no longer interested in physics.

On the contrary, he now likes to think about the future of physics from a higher perspective, a philosophical perspective.

Li Qiwei's Tai Chi philosophy brought great shock and inspiration to Lorenz.

Great simplicity!

He continued:
"Our world consists of space, time and matter."

"Based on astronomy, relativity explains space and time."

"Based on atomic theory, quantum theory explains matter."

“Starlight bends, black holes exist, and the universe expands”

“Although there are still many phenomena waiting to be verified, the theoretical framework of relativity has been completed.”

"The rest is just a supplementary addition."

“And the same is true of quantum theory.”

"In my opinion, with the discovery of the exclusion principle and electron spin, quantum theory should be considered complete."

“Using quantum theory, we can explain everything about the periodic table, everything about spectroscopy.”

“This was an achievement that we could never have imagined before.”

"However, even though quantum theory has achieved such remarkable results."

"Someone here is still not satisfied with it."

Everyone present smiled knowingly.

They all focused their eyes on the man in the front row.

“He thinks differently than everybody else.”

"He once said publicly that quantum theory today is like the special theory of relativity back then."

“Stunning but not perfect.”

"Many physicists do not agree with his views."

“Everyone thinks that quantum theory is pretty good now.”

"So, what is the result?"

“So, the theme of the third Bruce Conference is atoms and quantum.”

"Perhaps we won't be able to come to a definite conclusion in today's meeting."

“But I believe that if there are any major discoveries in physics in the future, they will definitely be related to today’s meeting.”

Suddenly, Lorenz raised his voice and said excitedly:

"Next, let me welcome Professor Bruce to give his speech."

boom!
There was thunderous applause in the conference hall.

Everyone's heart is filled with anticipation.

The eyes of senior leaders such as Roentgen and Planck were filled with satisfaction.

They practically watched Bruce step by step reach his current position.

This young man conquered everyone with his unique charm.

Einstein, Rutherford and others were filled with sighs.

Their friendship with Bruce has long surpassed ordinary friendship.

On the lonely journey of seeking the truth, it is a great blessing to meet a confidant.

The younger generation, including Pauli and Heisenberg, had shining eyes and their blood was boiling.

Professor Bruce is the direction of their life's work.

At this moment when all the wise men have gathered, everyone agrees that the opening speech can only be given by Professor Bruce.

What an honor!

What a peak!
Li Qiwei slowly stood up amid the warm applause.

Suddenly, an indescribable huge aura exploded instantly!
At this moment, he seemed to be the center of the universe, and everything in the world revolved around him.

He is electricity, he is light, he is the only myth!
Li Qiwei stood on the stage, his eyes slowly sweeping over everyone below.

I feel so proud!

Even in real history, the Fifth Solvay Conference could not compare with today's conference.

Because the participants spanned three generations of physics.

He didn't know how the future history of science would evaluate this conference.

But judging from the achievements of the participants alone, it is absolutely unprecedented.

And all of this was created by him personally.

Several years later, the nickname of modern physics was Bruce physics.

Li Qiwei's eyes were as sharp as torches and his voice was as loud as a bell, shocking people's hearts.

“Although the concept of quantum theory appeared earlier than the theory of relativity.”

"But its development speed is not as fast as the theory of relativity."

"In 1912, when I published the general theory of relativity, I thought for a while that quantum theory would do the same."

“However, things went beyond my expectations.”

“After I delved into and studied quantum theory, I discovered that our world is far more complicated than I imagined.”

"I now have a growing feeling that quantum theory may be closer to the origin of the world than the theory of relativity."

"Professor Lorenz summed it up very well."

"Relativity explains space and time, and quantum theory explains matter."

"But our understanding of matter has always been at the macroscopic level."

"The development of atomic science has already reached the level of the atomic nucleus."

"The secrets there can only be explored through quantum theory."

“With the discovery of electron spin, proton-neutron theory.”

“The magic of the microscopic world is challenging the limits of our cognition.”

“It’s also challenging the limits of quantum theory.”

Suddenly, Li Qiwei became excited and raised his right hand.

"And now, I have made a new discovery."

"This discovery is enough to show that the existing quantum theory is far from enough."

"Everyone, let us welcome the arrival of the new quantum era together!"

boom!
Everyone was shocked!
