1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 610: Summit Meeting! The Strongest Group Photo in History! The World is Shocked! Professor Bruce is So Terrifying!
January 1924, 11, afternoon.

The five-day Fourth Bruce Conference is finally coming to an end.

None of the bigwigs present expected that Professor Bruce’s prophecy speech would be so exciting.

The content of this speech alone is enough to stir up a storm in the physics community and open up countless cutting-edge research directions.

Not to mention the disruptive results accumulated in the previous few days.

Moderator Lorenz racked his brains and finally used three phrases to summarize the meeting.

“The pinnacle of quantum mechanics!”

"The pinnacle of human wisdom!"

"The pinnacle of the mysteries of the universe!"

boom!
Summit meeting!

The whole audience thundered!

That majestic figure was reflected in everyone's eyes.

That man, with his own efforts, made this meeting go down in history.

Li Qiwei looked at the fanatical eyes of the crowd and felt deeply moved.

In real history, after World War II, the absolute center of science undoubtedly shifted to the United States.

The most important conferences in physics have also become various academic conferences held by the American Physical Society.

The once prestigious and famous Solvay Conference has become nothing more than a symbolic event.

It symbolizes that the brilliant era when gods gathered and wisdom reached its peak has finally come to an end.

But in this life, Li Qiwei wants to make the Bruce Conference stand forever at the end of physics!
"The sea is endless and the sky is the shore; the mountain is the peak and I am the peak."

When Lorenz announced the official end of the meeting, the bosses were chatting and laughing as they prepared to leave.

Li Qiwei said to a person in the corner:

"Mr. Kupley, could you please take one last commemorative photo for all of us?"

"I think everyone will be happy with it."

Kupre looked excited and said quickly:

"Okay, Professor Bruce."

Kupli, who is in his forties, is a famous Belgian photographer.

He is experienced and is particularly good at capturing people's expressions, and has many excellent works.

Therefore, he was hired by Li Qiwei as the only photographer for this conference.

It was the first time Kupley took photos at such a high-profile conference, and he was both excited and cautious.

Throughout the five-day meeting, he kept his presence low and quietly took photos for everyone in the corner.

Apart from the "clicking" sound of the camera, no one could hardly feel his presence.

Although he didn't understand the professional academic terms used by the bigwigs, it did not prevent him from capturing the wonderful moments of the discussions.

"Professor Bruce is passionate and domineering!"

"Professor Einstein proposed the light box experiment with a beaming smile, as if he had a sure win!"

"Professor Bruce solved the unsolvable problem with a blink of an eye, shocking the whole audience!"

"."

Without a doubt, Professor Bruce has the most close-ups of all the photos.

On the lawn outside the hotel.

The setting sun casts a golden glow.

The old era has ended and the new era is about to begin!
Kupley is adjusting the machine and making final preparations for taking pictures.

"Hey, Bruce, don't refuse, just sit in the middle."

"This is not good."

"What's wrong with that? Your two teachers are sitting next to you."

"Madame Curie, please sit here."

"I don't stand with Schrödinger."

"Pauli, you are too fat, go over there."

"."

A few minutes later, Kupley laughed loudly:
"Professors, please look at the camera."

"cheese!"

click!
Time is frozen!
History is remembered!
The voices, appearances and smiles of thirty-three of the world's top physics masters have been recorded forever.

It’s like the thirty-third heaven in physics!

In the photo, people are divided into three rows, upper and lower.

Li Qiwei sat in the middle of the first row, in the absolute C position, leading the crowd.

On his left and right are Planck, Thomson, Lorentz, Madame Curie, Einstein, Bohr, Rutherford, Sommerfeld, Millikan, and old Bragg.

Sitting in the second row were Richardson, Wilson, Fowler, Dirac, Born, Schrödinger, Langevin, de Broglie, Heisenberg, Pauli, Compton, and Ehrenfest.

Standing in the third row were Bose, Fermi, Wu Youxun, Yu Yin, Uhlenbeck, Goudsmit, Kronig, Frank, G. Hertz, and Hund.

The Fourth Bruce Conference, the swan song of science!

The laughter and cheers of the big guys resounded through the sky!
Meanwhile, the crowd waiting outside the hotel were all excited when they learned that the meeting was over.

"My God!"

"it is finally over!"

“The meeting lasted for five days!”

"I bet the big guys must have created a lot of awesome theories."

"I really can't wait to find out!"

"."

This is the first time that the Bruce meeting has been extended, and even the dumbest person would know that it is definitely not a simple matter.

At this moment, the entire physics community is looking forward to the announcement of the conference content.

And soon, they will usher in an unprecedented scientific earthquake! ——
Five days later, November 11th.

The contents of the Fourth Bruce Conference were announced.

The journal Nature took on the task of distribution and published all the highlights of the conference in full edition, arranged by date.

October 10: Complementarity principle, superposition principle, wave function collapse, single-electron double-slit interference experiment, delayed choice experiment, light box thought experiment.

October 10: Reverse Wu-Compton effect.

November 11: Path integral of the third form of quantum mechanics, thought experiment at a distance, quantum entanglement, Bruce's inequality.

November 11: Quantum entanglement verification experiment, quantum encryption communication, and quantum teleportation.

November 11: Prediction of field quantization, Bruce's cat thought experiment, quantum decoherence interpretation, many-worlds interpretation, parallel universe, multiverse, inflation model.

In addition, there are research results from speakers such as Wilson and Bose, which will not be elaborated on here.

As soon as the news came out, the physics community was the first to boil!
When all the physicists in the world saw the conference materials, they were all stunned and said:

"Oh my goodness!"

"This is too exaggerated!"

“Can these theories really be born in one meeting?”

"I feel that each of these results alone would be enough to shock the academic community!"

"Incredible!"

"Unthinkable!"

"The summit meeting is well-deserved of its reputation!"

Countless people were stunned and incredulous.

What’s even more outrageous is that almost all of these bizarre theories are related to Professor Bruce.

The man's performance at the meeting can only be described as "unparalleled in the world."

Someone said excitedly:
"Professor Einstein isn't bad either!"

"If it weren't for Professor Bruce, he would have almost overturned quantum mechanics by himself. It's simply terrifying!"

"What a pity! Behind the strongest brain, there is another stronger brain!"

"The only one who can defeat that man is himself!"

Everyone showed respect to all the bigwigs present at the conference.

And in the middle of the newspaper, there was a group photo of all the members.

The thirty-three big guys are in high spirits and look down on the world!
Professor Bruce sits at the center, the only one in the world!

Everyone went crazy again!
"Damn, this photo is so good, it's almost a masterpiece!"

"A photo of the smartest brains in the world!" "If I were to appear in the photo, I would die with no regrets!"

If it was just a simple group photo, it wouldn't make people so excited.

Many meetings are accompanied by photographs.

But the people in the photo discussed so many shocking scientific theories, which has a completely different meaning.

For a time, the entire physics community was in an uproar.

Germany.

After reading the conference report, von Karman sighed:

“The 4th Bruce Conference was so much better than I could have imagined.”

"Professor Bruce is simply like a god!"

“Just looking at what was published is thrilling.”

“I really don’t know how amazing the scene will be!”

Then, he smiled and asked Master Qian Wu:

"Qian, do you regret it now?"

Master Qian Wu has a sharp gaze and is elegant and graceful.

He smiled like his teacher and said coolly:
"What I want now is to make the Mechanics Conference have such a glorious scene!"

Von Karman was startled when he heard this, then he laughed proudly and said:
"Hahaha, money, count me in!"

France.

Irene pestered her mother, Madame Curie, to tell her all the details of the conference that were not disclosed.

"My God!"

"Uncle Bruce is so strong in experimental physics!"

"The single-electron double-slit interference experiment can compete for the first place in physics experiments."

"The quantum entanglement verification experiment was actually thought up on the spot?"

"Whoo~"

Irena was completely shocked.

The outside world believes that Professor Bruce is invincible in theory but weak in experiments.

She discovered this to be true while studying for her doctorate at the Institute of Quantum Research.

Professor Bruce hardly ever did any experiments and didn't provide much guidance.

Sometimes Irena even felt that the reason she brought shame to the professor was because of this.

But today, she realized that she was wrong.

I am just a simple vegetable.

"Woooooo~"

Madame Curie smiled and said:

"How could a peerless person like Professor Bruce have any shortcomings?"

Irena lowered her head and hid in her mother's arms, acting coquettishly.

But her eyes were shining with a firm belief.

"Within five years, I will make Uncle Bruce look at me with new eyes!"

The Fourth Bruce Conference shook up the physics community.

As time went by, this shock not only did not weaken, but instead spread more and more widely.

Soon after, the astronomical community was also in an uproar!
When the big names in astronomy saw concepts like inflation theory, multiverse, and parallel universe, they all went crazy.

"Oh, God!"

"Is Professor Bruce trying to overturn the world of astronomy?"

"Multiverse? Parallel universe?"

"This is simply like a fairy tale!"

"It's scary!"

In the eyes of everyone, Professor Bruce had just proposed the theory of stellar evolution and his accumulation in the field of astronomy must have been exhausted.

But I didn't expect that the other party had an even more bizarre theory.

Anyone in the field of astronomy would tremble when seeing this!

In addition, Yu Qingsong also became completely famous!

In a sense, Professor Bruce was able to propose the inflation model precisely because of the other party's doubts.

Everyone was filled with emotion:

"A supernova will rise at next year's astronomy conference."

United States.

Mount Wilson Observatory.

Haier, Hubble and Yu Qingsong sat opposite each other, all smiling.

After graduation, Yu Qingsong chose to study for a doctorate in astronomy under Heyer, becoming Hubble's junior.

Everyone in the astronomical community knew that this young Chinese man was highly regarded by Professor Bruce, so Haier agreed without hesitation.

It turns out that Professor Bruce has a sharp eye!
Yu Qingsong made a stunning debut!
Hai Er sighed:

“I’m a useless teacher.”

"If something really happens, we still have to rely on Professor Bruce."

Originally, Yu Qingsong first asked him about the temperature of the universe.

But Hale couldn't explain it because he had not studied the Big Bang theory in depth.

He suggested that Yu Qingsong write a letter to Professor Bruce for help.

So, this is what happened.

However, Haier did not expect that a seemingly small temperature issue would lead to such a shocking theory discovered by Professor Bruce.

Even though he has been working in the field of astronomy for decades, he was still deeply shocked when he saw the theory of multiverse and parallel universe.

It was even more shocking than when I first heard the Big Bang theory.

That is not the wild fiction of science fiction writers, but a bold conjecture made by Professor Bruce through rigorous theoretical analysis.

It can be said that Professor Bruce has reshaped astronomers' view of the universe!

Yu Qingsong smiled and said:
"Professor Haier, you are too modest."

"I would also like to thank you for choosing my research topic carefully."

Hai Er nodded with satisfaction. He liked the young man in front of him more.

He really devoted himself to Yu Qingsong's training without hiding anything.

The other party is not only a young man valued by Professor Bruce, but he is also very intelligent and has an extraordinary intuition about astronomy.

Moreover, Haier has even greater ambitions.

He smiled and said to them:
"At the second International Astronomical Union conference to be held in Cambridge next February, I want everyone to be amazed by the strength of our Mount Wilson Observatory once again!"

"Hubble, Yu Qingsong, you two must prepare well!"

"Professor Bruce will also be there at that time. This will surely be another grand event of astronomy!"

Hai'er skillfully cooked a bowl of chicken soup. Hubble was already immune, and Yu Qingsong, the newcomer, was screaming with excitement.

Just as the scientific community was rocked by the Fourth Bruce Conference.

Its influence has long expanded to all sectors of society.

In particular, concepts such as parallel universes and multiverses are not only regarded as guidelines and sources of inspiration by novelists, but also become topics of bragging for ordinary people.

In addition, the editorial staff of some popular science newspapers had limited skills and were unable to accurately understand the content of the conference, which resulted in some erroneous publicity.

In the eyes of most people, quantum mechanics has been tinged with a layer of metaphysical mystery.

"When in doubt, use quantum mechanics!"

However, there was a theory at the Fourth Bruce Conference that was ignored by most people, but became the most concerned theory for a certain special group.

It is quantum encrypted communication.

The military departments of various countries immediately discovered the important value of this theory and immediately set up a special team to study the cryptographic theory proposed by Professor Bruce.

As the research deepened, cryptographers could not help but exclaim:
"Professor Bruce's theory has advanced cryptography by at least twenty years!"

"That man is so scary!"

"It is terrifying in the literal sense. If he participates in the war, he will definitely be the eternal nightmare of all enemies!"

So, when the scientific community is peaceful and prosperous, an undercurrent is quietly flowing.
