1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 551: Li Chengde's strange theory! The trip to Germany! My father's power! Shocking

Chapter 551: Li Chengde's strange theory! The trip to Germany! My father's power! Shocking speech! What is vacuum?

1924 6 Month 20 Day.

Master Qian Wu and his entourage finally arrived in London.

Then they immediately went to the Quantum Research Institute.

When Li Qiwei saw everyone, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Almost in an instant, his eyes met with Li Chengdao and Li Chengde.

The deep love between father and son transcends time and space!
He spoke slowly and softly:

"Chengdao, Chengde, you have grown up."

The two brothers hurried forward, their faces excited, and shouted in unison:
"Father!"

Li Qiwei held one of them in each hand, looked them over and over, and kept saying:
"Okay~Okay~Okay~"

Master Qian Wu and others were all moved when they saw this.

Professor Li has sacrificed too much for the rise of China.

At this moment, Li Chengdao was finally able to observe his father from an adult's perspective.

He had mixed feelings.

When he was young, he didn't understand what his father's actions meant.

But when he grew up, through the revelations of his mother, Brother Qian and others, he finally understood how big his father's business was.

Science, business, education, politics.
When Li Chengdao saw the tall figure in front of him, everything flashed through his mind quickly like a passing scene.

His father is a great man doing great things!

"Dad, you've worked so hard!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiwei looked at his eldest son and smiled with relief.

"My little thing is nothing."

"It's a pity that I didn't attend your coming-of-age ceremony. I hope you and Chengde won't blame me."

Li Chengdao quickly shook his head, "No, father."

At this time, Li Chengde returned from his previous affectionate state to a cynical look, and he complained:

"Dad, don't feel sorry. It's a good thing you didn't go. It would have been embarrassing and boring."

"You can travel around Europe at 17, but we have to go through these messy rituals at 18. It's boring."

"Grandpa was planning to hold the Chinese coming-of-age ceremony for us, but I said it was unnecessary and he beat me with his cane."

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Master Qian Wu smiled and joked:
"Xiao De, your name is Chengde, shouldn't you inherit the traditional virtues of China?"

Li Chengde stretched out his index finger and shook it, saying:
"Brother Qian, this is wrong."

"The '德' in my name doesn't refer to virtue."

"Virtue, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. These words my father gave me have deep meanings."

"The so-called Tao refers to all the rules and principles in this universe."

"And [virtue] refers to the scope of truth that humans can grasp in theory, and is part of the Tao."

"After all, human power is limited and it is impossible to be omniscient and omnipotent."

Master Qian Wu became interested. He wanted to see how the other party would explain this twisted logic.

"What about Ren?"

Li Chengde talked freely.

“Although morality is a principle that humans can grasp, it does not mean that it can be achieved.”

“And [Ren] refers to the highest truth that humans can currently grasp and realize.”

"It's like humans can theoretically fly out of the solar system, but we can't do that right now. We can only travel around the Earth."

Everyone was amazed.

Although this theory sounds strange, it seems to have some substance.

"Benevolence is a very high-level goal, and most people can't achieve it."

“For example, although humans can already travel around the world, most people don’t have the ability or the ambition to do so.”

"They just want to travel all over their motherland."

“This is righteousness.”

“Righteousness refers to the degree to which a single person can achieve or the knowledge that he or she possesses.”

"If this person is very powerful, then he may be able to reach the realm of benevolence."

"Finally, it's [Ceremony]."

“Etiquette refers to the bottom line of a person’s knowledge and conduct.”

"If someone can't even be polite, then he can't be called a real person."

"As for wisdom and faith, they are just supplementary details of the previous five realms and are not important."

"So, the virtue I want to pursue is not the virtue of the coming-of-age ceremony, but the true virtue of the universe."

Wow!
Everyone's face was filled with shock!

Is this still the same Young Master Li who looks unlearned?
Just from this short analysis, we can see Li Chengde's deep thinking on philosophy, science, and traditional Chinese culture.

He has the demeanor of a master.

Master Qian Wu was stunned.

He didn't expect that his casual question would actually be installed by this guy.

No, he must show his true colors.

Master Qian Wu then asked:

"Then let me ask you, how do you calculate which path takes the shortest time for the ball to go from the highest point to the lowest point?"

Li Chengde said nothing, but just kept shouting: "You have no martial ethics!"

Everyone laughed and the place was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Li Qiwei looked at his second son and felt emotional.

Although he hadn't seen his children for five or six years, they still communicated through letters and telegrams.

He knew the second child's personality and academic level very well.

He didn't expect that the other party could come up with such a theory, which made him look at him with new eyes.

If you think carefully about the so-called morality, benevolence, righteousness, and propriety, you will find it quite interesting.

Even a crude and naive innovative idea is a thousand times better than a fully developed and mature subsidiary idea.

Li Qiwei did not force his children to study science, everything depended on personal interests and hobbies.

At this time, he said:

"Chengdao, Chengde, I have already arranged your study tour plan."

"You two can spend a year visiting and studying at universities in more than a dozen countries including Britain, France, Germany, and Italy."

“I hope you can all find a field that you like.”

“But no matter what you study, you must always remember one goal: to revitalize China!”

They both agreed at the same time, looking excited.

Li Qiwei nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, he turned to Master Qian Wu and said:
"Fifth Master, you need to pay more attention to the Mechanics Conference."

"China now needs not only cutting-edge science, but also mature and usable science."

"When you return, you can set up a mechanics class to train talents in this field."

Master Qian nodded and said:
"Okay, Principal, don't worry."

Li Qiwei said no more, he had great faith in the capabilities of the Fifth Division.

Finally, he looked at the Chinese Olympic delegation, which consisted of five people.

Among them, the group leader Hu Gangfu was once a graduate student of Master Qian Wu at the Institute of Atomic Research.

After graduation, he stayed at Huangpu University of Technology to teach and is now able to stand on his own.

Hu Gangfu was very excited to see Li Qiwei.

"headmaster!"

"This time, China's Olympic performance will surely achieve greater success!"

"Let me introduce you, this is Wang Dezhao."

Hu Gangfu was full of energy and seemed very confident.

Li Qiwei was very satisfied. He liked this mental state.

He smiled, shook hands with everyone, and said:
"Not bad."

"You all came at a great time."

"The contestants of the second Physics Olympiad have already begun to dominate the physics world."

"You in the future will also be able to do it!"

Several contestants including Wang Dezhao were extremely excited.

Not only did they meet the legendary Professor Li, but they also received encouragement from him. They can brag about it when they go back.

Li Qiwei's blessing touched the hearts of several people.

The 2nd Physics Olympiad is considered the holy competition in the hearts of countless students.

Almost all the people on the genius rankings have become big shots now.

Those names are the best role models.

Then, Li Qiwei chatted with everyone for a while and let them rest.

Everyone is not here for vacation, but has their own mission.

The first stop for the Li Chengdao brothers' study and research was undoubtedly Cambridge University, which was to retrace their father's path.

However, before that, the two will go to Germany with Li Qiwei to gain some experience.

The news that Master Qian Wu was going to attend the Mechanics Conference made mechanics such as von Karman overjoyed.

They didn't expect that the famous Professor Qian was actually interested in mechanics.

Therefore, as soon as Master Qian Wu arrived in Europe, he received invitations to various academic conferences and was very busy.

Hu Gangfu took Wang Dezhao and others to Paris, France in advance to prepare for the upcoming Olympic Games.

And Li Qiwei began his trip to Germany.

April 1924, 6, morning.

University of Berlin.

Led by Planck, a large number of German physicists including Einstein, Wien, Nernst, Sommerfeld, Born, Laue, Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Pauli and others were eagerly looking forward to it.

Everyone warmly welcomed Professor Bruce's arrival.

Ridgeway saw the welcoming ceremony and said to Planck with a smile:

"Professor, there's no need to be so ostentatious next time."

“This place has almost become my second home.”

"Look at the people who came today. I can recognize them with my eyes closed."

Everyone laughed knowingly.

Planck said:
"Bruce, that's different."

"You are now coming to Germany for exchanges as a Chinese scientific leader."

“It deserves to be treated this way.”

Li Qiwei was moved when he heard this.

Without him, how could the Chinese scientific community have relied on Germany?

Almost all of the manufacturing companies under Shanhe Industrial have borrowed various industrial technologies from Germany.

This made Li Qiwei a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to treat the mustache from now on.

At this time, Planck sighed:
“I never thought that I would live to see quantum mechanics develop to the level it is today.”

“This theory is really amazing!”

Planck and Ridgway jointly published a paper on the concept of quantum.

At that time, he could never have imagined that the small concept of quantum could evolve into today's quantum mechanics.

From quantum concepts, to quantum orbital models, then matter waves, to matrix mechanics and wave mechanics, and finally to probability waves and the uncertainty principle.

No theory has ever undergone so many iterations and developments as quantum mechanics.

Even now, there is still no sign of stopping.

Because there are still several remaining problems in quantum mechanics that have not been solved.

Upon hearing this, Einstein and others nodded silently.

Once upon a time, they thought that the publication of general relativity was the last brilliant era of physics.

But quantum mechanics is even more dazzling.

The world's top geniuses have all devoted themselves to this theory.

In recent times, various research papers on quantum mechanics have emerged one after another.

In the past, each of these results would have shocked the physics community.

And now, like cabbage, it is submerged in the quantum ocean.

Heisenberg puffed out his chest with pride.

He felt that he himself was the key figure in the quantum world.

At this time, Li Qiwei said with a smile:

"The professor is absolutely right."

"Even I myself, emotionally, prefer quantum mechanics."

"Because I can't find anyone to discuss and communicate with in the field of relativity."

After hearing what was said, everyone took a while to understand and smiled knowingly.

Professor Bruce is still Professor Bruce.

Confident and humorous.

Then, Li Qiwei briefly introduced Li Chengdao and Li Chengde to everyone, which aroused a wave of praise.

"Tiger father has no dog son!"

"The voice of a young phoenix is clearer than that of an old one!"

"."

Li Chengdao responded generously and steadily.

Li Chengde said: Good vision!
The group chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the lecture hall.

The venue was packed.

There are not only students, teachers and scientists, but also many celebrities such as entrepreneurs and government officials.

What they care about is not the content of Professor Bruce's speech, but the huge influence that the other party represents.

Today, no one would ever think of Professor Bruce as just a physicist.

Schrödinger, as the host, was the first to come on stage.

Half a year of experience has made him calm, confident and at ease.

"Since Professor Bruce published the uncertainty principle, there has been a wave of uncertainty research in the physics community."

"Quantum tunneling effect, Bose-Bruce statistics, Fermi-Dirac statistics, etc."

“The uncertainty principle overturns determinism and gives us a whole new understanding of the nature of the world.”

"This is both the charm and the challenge of quantum mechanics."

"We physicists need to come up with a reasonable deconstruction of the uncertainty principle."

Heisenberg curled his lips.

He felt that Schrödinger deliberately did not mention that the uncertainty principle came from matrix mechanics.

"Now, let's welcome Professor Bruce to the stage for his speech with warm applause!"

Wow!
There was thunderous applause in the conference hall.

Everyone stood up to pay tribute to this great scholar of our time.

The probability wave and uncertainty principle he proposed, like the original theory of relativity, subverted the world of physics and human cognition.

Among the crowd, Li Chengdao and Li Chengde were shocked!

This is the power of their father!

Worshipped like a god by thousands of Europeans, especially the smartest ones!
They both knew that the big guys in the front row were all well-known figures in the academic world.

But in front of their father, they are like fireflies.

How proud they are of their children.

The two brothers couldn't help but feel excited:

"My father's power is so terrifying!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Qiwei walked onto the stage.

"On the way to Germany, I suddenly thought of a corollary of the uncertainty principle."

“I think this conjecture is very interesting.”

"If we delve deeper into this, perhaps we will gain new insights into the nature of the universe."

Wow!
There was a cry of surprise in the venue!
Professor Bruce is worthy of being Professor Bruce.

The opening is the essence of the universe, high-end, atmospheric and classy.

But no one thought there was anything wrong.

The universe is like a plaything in that man's hands.
