Sorensen took a breath and ran back to the laboratory, leaving only Li Yu and Karl sitting there and continuing to eat.
Karl smiled and said: "Don't worry, he has always been like this." Li Yu could understand his mood: "If you can get a breakthrough after a long period of research, everyone will be so happy that you forget to eat and sleep." With the framework, it is actually very simple to build this PH theory. , but it will be really difficult to make waves for a while.
After all, due to the limitations of the times, even many scientists currently do not believe in atoms, let alone ions in ionization theory.
So Li Yu really didn't take this matter too seriously at the moment. The next day, he went to the University of Copenhagen as scheduled.
mentioned in later generations
"Columbia", most people's first impression must be Columbia University, but in fact
"Brothers" include the University of Copenhagen and the University of Copenhagen. There are many criteria for judging universities. If we just talk about the number of Nobel Prizes, Columbia University is certainly stronger. It ranks fifth among universities in the world, with 96 Nobel Prizes.
The University of Copenhagen ranks 15th, with 45 Nobel Prizes; the University of Copenhagen ranks 17th, with 39 Nobel Prizes.
so
None of the "brothers" are small roles. There is currently no bronze statue of the famous Little Mermaid in Denmark. It was actually a gift from the Carlsberg Foundation in 1909.
Since then, the statue's head, arms and other parts have been sawed off many times. In 2003, it was blown into the water with explosives and was seriously damaged when it was salvaged.
In 2017, someone splashed blue and white paint on her; someone else splashed red paint... There are countless such things, especially all kinds of graffiti, there are too many.
There are endless excuses for some graffiti, such as nationalism, religion, or extreme animal rights activists protesting against whaling. There are too many to list.
Some even labeled the Little Mermaid statue racist. for example
During the "Black Lives Matter" period, some black people opposed any historical statues because they felt that these historical figures played a role in racist oppression such as slave traders and colonialists.
Although it’s hard to understand how a fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, could be racist. And the poor little mermaid didn’t know she would endure so much
"Unbearable weight". When Li Yu came to the University of Copenhagen, Paterson himself, an academician of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences, president of the University of Copenhagen and professor of mathematics, brought physics and oceanography scholar Knuzen, biology lecturer August Crowe, ecologist Warming and others. Let's welcome Li Yu together.
This treatment is quite high. Among them, Patterson is not young, and he himself is doing research on graph theory. This thing has been of interest to many mathematicians in Europe since Euler pioneered the study of the Seven Bridges problem.
Crowe would win the Nobel Prize in 1920. Paterson also values Li Yu very much. After all, he is a scholar with many first-class achievements. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a top scientific master in the world today.
But they obviously don't know that Li Yu will become more and more terrifying in the future.
“Dear Academician Li Yu, it’s really exciting to meet you,” Patterson said. He also used the title of Foreign Fellow of the Royal Society.
Li Yu has been called an academician by two people one after another, and he is really not used to it. Fortunately, the other party is also an academician. Li Yu said: "Hello, Academician Paterson." Paterson said: "We at the University of Copenhagen have always respected natural philosophy, and we have made teachers and students in the Faculty of Science waiting for your speech early." Li Yu was a little confused as to why he wanted to give a speech again, so he said: "Actually, the content is all in the book, just simple communication." Patterson said: "No problem, you can just say a few words." Crowe said "Everyone is not only interested in your academic achievements, but also in the East, so please don't refuse this speech no matter what." Li Yu felt that the invitation was hard to refuse, so he agreed.
The department structure of the University of Copenhagen is very similar to that of the University of Paris where I went last time. They both place natural sciences in specialized faculties of science.
Patterson happily took Li Yu to the auditorium of the School of Science. It's not easy to recruit big names in science these days. Most of them hold some kind of position, or they are too old and don't want to move around too much. Young, promising and energetic people like Li Yu are really rare.
Paterson even said: "I have carefully studied your chaos theory and game theory, and it seems like you have created a new mathematical path. And seeing that you are so young, it instantly reminds me of Mr. Abel who visited you back then." Li The envoy was very familiar with Abel, so he asked: "Is he a Norwegian? He has also been to the University of Copenhagen?" Paterson said: "No, but a senior professor at the university, Professor Hansting, took him in. But he soon decided to go to Paris." The reason Abel went to France at that time was because France had been a center of mathematics for a long time and produced a large number of outstanding mathematics people. Later, it was slowly overtaken by Germany.
Li Yu sighed: "It's a pity that there was a mathematical genius of similar age in Paris at the same time, Garois." These two men laid the foundation for the group theory of modern mathematics in their short lives, but they were both only in their twenties when they died.
Abel was very poor and died of tuberculosis at the age of 26. Three years later, Garois fell in love with someone else.
"A coquettish woman in a low-class inn" did not hesitate to duel with an officer, and she was only 21 years old.
I really can’t imagine what would have happened if they had lived a few more decades. There is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize. The highest mathematics award since then is the Fields Medal, but it is only awarded to mathematicians who are no more than 40 years old. It may be because they are afraid that another young pearl will be lost.
But it seems that most scientists or artists achieve their greatest achievements before the age of forty. Just like what Zhang Ailing said
"Become famous early." Patterson came to the podium and introduced Li Yu first. In fact, he didn't need any introduction. When Li Yu, who had yellow skin and dark eyes, appeared, the audience was already screaming in surprise.
“Oh my God, he’s like a student our age!”
"How on earth did he achieve such high achievements in physics, mathematics, and astronomy at such a young age!" Paterson reached out and pressed down: "Everyone, please be quiet! How can he invite Academician Li Yu, a hot new star in today's scientific world? It is really not easy. The Royal Academy of Sciences and the Carlsberg Foundation jointly came forward to win this opportunity. Everyone must cherish it and learn from him the path to seek truth..." After hearing this, Li Yu thought to himself, in fact, it is not so difficult for me to invite him. You can come over with a little persuasion!
After Paterson spoke for a few minutes, he said to Li Yu: "Academician Li Yu, please come and speak." Li Yu walked to the stage and really didn't know what to say, so he casually said: "This time it's better. Suddenly, I didn't actually make any preparations, otherwise I would have asked everyone to ask questions to find a guide." Li Yu glanced at the people below, and there were not many people. The enrollment scale of universities nowadays is generally small.
He quickly found Bohr, because his head was really big, very obvious.
"Classmate Bohr, what do you want to say?" Li Yu asked. In fact, he had been planning for a long time to call Bohr, one of the three giants of quantum mechanics,
"Classmate" is really a little awkward. Bohr was a little surprised. Although he wanted to speak, he was only a freshman and felt that it was not his turn yet.
Li Yu's sudden question made him feel at a loss for a moment.
"Ah...I..." Li Yu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just ask." Bohr said: "I, I am thinking about what formation to use in the afternoon football match. Academician, do you also like football?" Li Yu said I was also confused by the question.
"Football? Of course I like it..." Bohr continued: "We will play a game with the seminary in the afternoon. You can also join us! Anyway, we are about the same age."
"Okay... okay..." Li Yu didn't know how to answer it. The students in the back burst into laughter, and someone said: "The seminary is very strong, it will be difficult for us to win, so let's not think about it."
"I asked you to ask why football is involved." Bohr said: "Academician Li Yu asked me to ask casually." A person next to Bohr suddenly said: "Brother, we will definitely win, don't worry about this problem. Now that I have finally met Mr. Li Yu, I will try my best to ask some professional questions." Li Yu suddenly realized that I was dizzy. I actually admitted that I was wrong!
The one I identified at the beginning
"Bohr" is actually the younger brother of the famous quantum mechanics giant Niels Bohr. His name is Harnald Bohr.
The two brothers were about the same age and looked very similar. Li Yu suddenly found the wrong person. But Bohr's younger brother was not simple either. He was even more talented than his elder brother when he was young, and he later became a mathematician.
Moreover, the two brothers loved football since childhood and even almost became professional athletes. In particular, his younger brother Harnad Bohr represented the Danish football team and won the football runner-up in the 1908 Olympic Games.
The two brothers are the best in mathematics and physics in the football world, and the best in football in the world of mathematics and physics!
"Really?" Bohr said: "Can I ask a question?" Li Yu was a little embarrassed just now, so he said: "Of course." Bohr said: "I have read academicians' papers on the derivation of blackbody radiation many times. If this is really the case , then it means that the unit of energy must be extremely small before it can become a state of parts. This also confirms the existence of atoms from the side. Considering the previous experiment of Professor Thomson of the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, there are Electrons, what kind of state are they in? How are charges distributed?" Li Yu could not have imagined that Bohr would start thinking about such advanced questions just after entering the University of Copenhagen, but the question he asked was indeed too big, so he replied: " What you proposed is exactly the direction of the future development of physics, but I regret to tell you that this question is difficult to answer because it involves experimental demonstration, otherwise anything proposed at this moment will only be a hypothesis." Bohr Asked: "According to the academician's paper, if atoms exist, the scale is extremely small. How can such an experiment be done?" Li Yu said: "Good question! But the physics of atoms is an extremely precise science. . This level of accuracy is like measuring the distance from London to St. Petersburg with only a hair difference." Bohr was surprised: "Is this possible?" Li Yu said: "Of course it can, otherwise how would you face it? Everyone's doubts?" After the development of quantum mechanics, it has become a science that is extremely precise in experiments. Many experiments are so sophisticated that ordinary people can't even imagine it. It is an epic achievement for human beings to explore the microscopic world.
