1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 599: Meeting delayed! The academic community was shocked! Quantum entanglement was confirmed! It shocked the whole audience! Prediction application!

The news that the Fourth Bruce Conference was extended spread like wildfire.

Lorenz even came out personally to admit the matter.

"Because there is a lot to discuss in this session, the time will be extended by 1-2 days."

"Please rest assured, everyone will be notified as soon as the meeting is over."

As soon as the news came out, the physics community was in an uproar!
This has never happened before.

Each of the previous three sessions was earth-shattering and shocked everyone.

But none of those meetings were extended.

What is different about the fourth session?
For a time, countless people became extremely curious.

Someone laughed and said:

"Could it be that they had a quarrel or a fight?"

"I heard that several big guys have been questioning quantum mechanics."

"If we can't decide who's better in the essay, then let's have a fistfight."

Of course, most people wouldn't believe this joke.

Those who can attend the Bruce Conference are all respected figures in the physics community. How could they behave like a shrew?

"The big guys must have discovered something extremely important after discussion."

"Maybe it's Professor Bruce who has come up with another earth-shattering theory."

"But what kind of theory would allow so many big guys to extend the time together?"

"I can't wait to find out."

"."

The content of the meeting has not yet been announced, but countless people are already looking forward to it.

And when they find out, they will be shocked beyond words.

On the evening of the third day when the meeting ended, Budsen, president of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Belgium, received a letter for help from Ridgeway.

In the letter, Li Qiwei briefly explained the experimental situation and of course mentioned quantum entanglement.

As time is urgent, he hopes that Budson can prepare all the necessary instruments and deliver them to the conference hotel before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.

"Belgium's contribution to the world of physics will be remembered forever!"

After receiving the national honor cap, Budson was completely elated.

Although he did not attend the Bruce Conference, he also made contributions to the society.

Budsen himself is a Belgian physicist. Although his research direction is not quantum mechanics, he clearly knows the importance of experiments.

"This is definitely a huge thing in the world of physics!"

“No room for error!”

"I also want to witness the birth of a miracle!"

"Quantum entanglement is incredible!"

He immediately arranged for relevant personnel to call for instruments from various universities and laboratories according to the list, in order to do his best to meet Professor Bruce's requirements.

The experiment itself is not complicated, but it requires a relatively high level of accuracy in the measuring instruments.

Therefore, generally only universities and other research institutions have these instruments.

Fortunately, Belgium is a small country, and even the farthest institution is only a few dozen kilometers away from the capital Brussels.

Given the transportation conditions of that era, telegraphic notification could be delivered that same evening.

Budsen even used his connections to borrow one of the core precision components from neighboring Netherlands overnight.

In the dark night, many people take action for the quantum entanglement experiment!
We race against time just to witness the dawn of light, which is also the brilliant light of modern physics!
April 11, 2:5 in the morning.

With the strong support of the Belgian government and scientific community, Budson personally led the team and finally delivered all the experimental instruments.

The old man's face was ruddy from exercise, and he said with a smile:

"Thank you, Professor Bruce, for fulfilling your mission."

"It won't delay the next experiment."

Li Qiwei stepped forward and shook hands with the other party solemnly.

“Thank you to Dean Budsen and the Belgian scientific community for their strong support!”

“It is the right choice to hold the meeting in your place.”

Budson exclaimed:

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone to be able to participate in an experiment like this.”

“The theory of quantum entanglement is amazing.”

“The Fourth Bruce Conference will surely shake up the physics community!”

At this moment, he didn't know that the amazing content of the Fourth Bruce Conference was more than just quantum entanglement.

Li Qiwei said modestly:

"The experiment has not yet been carried out. Everything is unknown."

Budson laughed:
"I believe you, Professor Bruce. Brussels is your lucky place."

Li Qiwei smiled lightly.

Past memories flashed through my mind.

The first academic conference he held when he came into this world was in Brussels.

At that time, he could only be regarded as a young man who made a big splash.

And now, his every move can touch the hearts of countless people.

After some business exaggeration, Budson took the initiative to say goodbye, as he knew that the bosses would have to assemble the equipment next.

9 o'clock in the morning.

When everyone came to the conference room and looked at the experimental instruments already placed in front of them, their expressions were shocked and excited.

"Belgium actually sent the goods over overnight. This shows how much they value it."

"I'm afraid only Professor Bruce can have such appeal."

Everyone felt admiration and envy.

They knew that this was not only because of Professor Bruce's scientific status, but also had a lot to do with his character.

Professor Bruce has great respect for what he has done for the scientific community.

Scientific truth can conquer people's minds, but only personal charm can conquer people's hearts.

Although Li Qiwei didn't sleep well last night, he was still energetic and didn't look tired at all.

He smiled and said to everyone:
“I built the experimental platform together with Professor Rutherford, Professor Millikan, and Professor Einstein.”

"After inspection and confirmation by the three of them, there were no problems with the experiment."

"After the meeting, there will definitely be many people who will repeat this experiment."

"Therefore, there is no need to worry about the repeatability of the results of this experiment."

"According to my estimation, if the experiment goes well, it will take most of the day."

"During this period, everyone can discuss any topic."

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes and waited for the experiment to begin.

Rutherford, Millikan and others were responsible for conducting the experiment.

Dirac, Heisenberg and others were responsible for recording the data.

On the small blackboard in front of them, there is a huge plane coordinate system.

Li Qiwei re-expressed the inequality proposed yesterday as a function.

If the experimental results satisfy the inequality, then the functional relationship between the correlation and the detector angle will be a big "V" shape.

as the picture shows.

In other words, if the graph produced by the experimental data is not V-shaped, then it means that quantum entanglement is correct.

Because of quantum entanglement, the correlation between two electrons is not the classical definite description proposed by Einstein.

Li Qiwei smiled slightly.

The experiment officially begins!
No one felt bored.

Many people gathered in groups of three or four, watching the experiments and discussing them.

Some people have even started to come up with other experimental plans.

For example, Fermi proposed:
"It is more difficult to control the movement of electrons when doing experiments."

"It would be even better if we used photons."

"There are two polarization states of photons, which are perpendicular to each other and can also form a quantum entangled state." But some people expressed opposition.

"The speed of photons is the speed of light."

"If the interaction is at the speed of light, it may be impossible to distinguish it from quantum entanglement."

"But the speed of electrons is controllable, so this phenomenon won't happen."

Everyone nodded, this was also a possibility.

All we can say is that electrons and photons each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Li Qiwei listened to everyone's discussion and felt deeply moved.

What a brilliant scientific future these top leaders in human history would create if they were not bound by the technology of the time!

In real history, after Bell's inequality was verified in 1982, some people still suspected that there were loopholes in the experiment.

Because this experiment is so precise, even the slightest error can lead to huge differences in the results.

Therefore, until the 21st century, with the rapid development of industrial technology and chip technology, human control over matter has reached the atomic level.

The quantum entanglement experiment conducted at this time can achieve perfect accuracy.

The most famous experiment is the world's first quantum science experimental satellite, Micius, launched by China in 2016.

Micius is equipped with the most advanced detection equipment, and for the first time achieved quantum entanglement at the 1200-kilometer level.

After it distributes two entangled photons to designated locations, they can still maintain the entangled state.

Moreover, in the empty space, there are no factors to interfere with the experiment, so the credibility of the results is quite high.

Therefore, in later generations, the phenomenon of quantum entanglement has been recognized by the physics community.

Scientists have even used the phenomenon of quantum entanglement to achieve quantum communication and quantum teleportation.

Of course, these two cutting-edge technology concepts have been misunderstood by the public due to marketing accounts.

Just as Li Qiwei was recalling the history of quantum entanglement in his mind.

Before I knew it, more than half of the experiment had been completed.

The experimental data graph on the blackboard already has a rough outline.

“It doesn’t seem to be a standard V shape!”

Everyone exclaimed!

At this moment, most people were shocked, and the balance of victory seemed to tilt towards Professor Bruce.

When they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but look excited.

"If quantum entanglement exists, it would be no less than a major earthquake in the world of physics!"

“How many mysterious and unknown phenomena are there in quantum mechanics?”

A few more hours passed.

In the meantime, everyone had a quick meal.

3 pm.

When Dirac wrote the last data on the blackboard, the whole audience was shocked!

"My God!"

"A miracle has happened again!"

“Quantum entanglement really exists!”

Everyone was shocked!

The ghostly quantum entanglement has actually been confirmed.

What an incredible thing this is!
There really are interactions in the universe that transcend time and space.

“It feels like science fiction coming to life!”

“Perhaps advanced civilizations communicate across the stars through quantum entanglement.”

"But quantum entanglement cannot transmit information, so how can we communicate?"

The physics giants present also began to imagine science.

The phenomenon of quantum entanglement has brought such a huge shock to everyone.

Bohr, Heisenberg, Pauli and others looked at each other with joy on their faces.

Professor Bruce once again turned the tide!
Quantum mechanics has survived its most difficult moment!
Schrödinger stared blankly at the function graph on the blackboard, his heart extremely shocked.

Professor Bruce conquered everyone by force through theory and experiments.

No matter how bizarre and mysterious quantum entanglement is, it will not lie as proven by ironclad experimental data.

He did not doubt the accuracy of the experiment.

Not to mention that the world's top experimental masters were present to supervise, so there was absolutely no possibility of any mistakes.

It is so rare that theoretical predictions and experimental results are in perfect agreement.

Plus this was proposed by Professor Bruce.

At this moment, almost all the bigwigs present recognized the existence of the quantum entanglement phenomenon.

It is another surprise that quantum mechanics brings to the physics community.

Schrodinger smiled bitterly and said:

"It seems I was really wrong."

"The nature of the world is indeed as Bruce's interpretation describes it."

Among the crowd, Einstein had the most complicated expression.

He lost the argument with Bruce again.

And the loss was complete.

After all, with the dual evidence of theory and experiment, he had no chance to refute.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't sad, but he did not get depressed and lose heart.

His personal failure represents the victory of science!
Einstein smiled openly and said:

"Bruce, you win!"

Wow!
Everyone exclaimed!

Even a strong man like Professor Einstein could only end up losing to Professor Bruce.

That man is so strong!
However, no one looked down on Professor Einstein for this.

If there had been no doubt from the other party, Professor Bruce might not have thought of quantum entanglement.

Throughout the ages, various scientific theories have been born from the collision of wisdom!
On the road to truth, there is no failure, only exploration!
Li Qiwei smiled slightly and said something inspiring:
"No, we won."

When Einstein heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause broke out in the venue!

Congratulations to Professor Bruce! Congratulations to quantum entanglement! Congratulations to scientific truth!

The mysterious quantum entanglement has finally been incorporated into the framework of quantum mechanics.

At this moment, everyone felt a surging power.

There are no words that can describe the experience that the 4th Bruce Conference brought.

Everyone can already imagine how much of a shock the conference content will cause in the physics community once it is announced!
At this time, Wu Youxun suddenly smiled and asked:

"Professor Li, do you think the theory of quantum entanglement will bring about a breakthrough technological revolution?"

“What innovative applications does it have?”

Upon hearing this, everyone became very interested.

Wu Youxun is the head of Alpha Labs.

The bigwigs present all knew that this laboratory was the top laboratory for scientific and technological innovation today.

It is committed to transforming scientific theories into practical technologies and products, thus truly benefiting mankind.

The latest technologies launched by Alpha Labs have created several epoch-making technological products.

What kind of technology will such an incredible theory as quantum entanglement bring?

Li Qiwei heard this, thought for a while, then said with a smile:

"If I were to let myself imagine, I would have thought of a few applications."

"Everyone is tired from waiting for the experiment, so just listen to me and relax."

Everyone applauded.

However, what no one expected was that Professor Bruce's unintentional prediction would bring him a lot of trouble.

It even indirectly changed the world's pattern!
