Knowing that Einstein was coming was a shot in the arm for Bohr, who had been mentally and physically exhausted recently.
He had early reserved the best guest room in the entire building for Einstein on the top floor of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, and asked his wife Margaret to clean the room in advance.
After meeting, the two walked to the tram stop next to the train station and found a corner seat on the tram and sat down side by side.
"Doctor, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize. Now you finally deserve it."
"Joy and rejoice together."
The two Nobel laureates complimented each other with a few polite words, and then fell into a debate again.
"I heard that you recently encountered a big setback in the theory of light quantum."
Einstein asked pretending to be nonchalant, but he was already chuckling in his heart.
On the ship from Sweden to Denmark today, he had already read these two papers from Copenhagen and Cavendish in the "Proceedings of the Natural Science". The young man Chen Muwu gave himself another big surprise.
In the face of this powerful fact, no one should question the correctness of the light quantum theory, or it should now be called "photon theory".
It's just a pity that Planck did not listen to the advice he put forward in the telegram and recruited Chen Muwu to Berlin's Humboldt University, which gave the British a big advantage.
In Bohr's ears, Einstein's words really didn't open up the pot. He was mumbling when he spoke, and he was a little unconfident when speaking German, which was not his native language. Now his voice became Even more weak: "Yes, doctor, I did set off a squib this time and lost all my face in front of the juniors."
"Hey, Nils, the young man who defeated you is not a junior. The third author of that paper, Chen Muwu, is a physics genius I discovered in Jihai when I went to the Far East to give lectures last winter. The previous article The paper on gamma ray scattering was also completed by him alone. I think he should also have a lot of credit for this paper. It is only because of the unique modesty of the Chinese that his name is listed as the third author. position."
In Einstein's heart, Chen Muwu was already classified as one of his generals. He not only had profound research on the theory of relativity, but also made great contributions to the final confirmation of his light quantum theory.
What the cute Einstein doesn't know is that his confidant is actually the reincarnation of Wei Yan. Not long ago, he had planned to join forces with his other good friend Eddington to overturn his cosmological constant.
It's just that Chen Muwu has been so busy recently that he forgot that he had made an agreement with Eddington to ask questions about astronomy.
Seeing Chen Muwu prospering in the Cavendish Laboratory, Eddington could only sit in front of the astronomical telescope every day and sigh. After all, he paid for it wrongly!
"I know this Chen. He has been very active in the physics community in the past six months. But half a year ago, I didn't know that such a person existed. It was as if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Doctor, what do you think about the time travel proposed by Chen? Do you think this Chen is also a person from the future who came to us through time travel?"
The frustrated Bohr's inadvertent words struck back one after another and pierced Einstein's heart.
Einstein always felt that there was something wrong with time travel, but it was definitely not in terms of mathematical derivation.
At this time, Chen Muwu, who was watching Ye Gongchao cooking at Magdalen College, suddenly sneezed.
"Lao Ye, you are so energetic with this peppercorn noodle!"
"No! I specially asked someone to mail this from China." Ye Gongchao said proudly.
"I think there will be an answer to this question in the future," Einstein also learned to think about it. "We might as well go back to photons. Niels, do you think photons exist now?"
Bohr and Einstein exchanged words with each other, and the discussion on the problem gradually became more intense. No one realized that they had already stopped on the tram.
By the time Bohr found out, the tram had already passed three stops. He had no choice but to get off the train with Einstein and walk to the other side of the station to wait for the return tram.
Then, they sat down again in a heated discussion.
After going back and forth several times, we finally arrived at the Institute of Theoretical Physics building at the University of Copenhagen.
The sun has already set in the west.
…
When receiving Planck's letter from Berlin, Chen Muwuzheng and Blackett, as well as a group of students from the Cavendish Laboratory and Trinity College, were in the Eagle Bar on Benedict Street. Kapitsa, who is about to return to China to visit relatives, practices this.
Kapitsa will set off from London the day after tomorrow, cross the English Channel, and take the railway all the way across the European continent to his hometown, Kronstadt, St. Petersburg.
The Eagle Bar is a sacred place in the Cavendish Laboratory.
Because when you come out of the main entrance of the laboratory, turn right and walk to the end of the alley, you will find the Eagle Bar, so this is one of Old Thomson's favorite places to come after get off work.
The old director led by example and inspired the staff and students in the laboratory to go to this bar to drink, chat and pass the time in their free time.
The Eagle Bar has also left a mark in the history of science. It was once the birthplace of a famous Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
James Watson and Francis Crick of the Cavendish Laboratory accidentally discovered the double helix structure of DNA while drinking and chatting at the bar.
This drinking session brought about earth-shaking changes in genetics.
There is no doubt that the British, or Europeans as a whole, love beer, and beer halls are a holy place in the hearts of men.
Before the end of this year, no one thought that someone would lead a group of boys to cause a scene in a beer hall where they often go.
In his previous life, Chen Muwu also liked to occasionally play with skewers and drink two bottles of cold beer.
But since traveling through time, he has never drank alcohol for fear of damaging his brain cells, which are full of good things.
Because he neither smokes nor drinks, Chen Muwu has been teased by Kapitsa as a Puritan.
He also ridiculed that Chen Muwu should not stay in the British Isles, but should sail across the Atlantic to the North American continent on the Mayflower sailboat.
Pooh! Only ghosts go to that kind of ghost place!
A few months after arriving in Cambridge, Chen Muwu entered the Eagle Bar for the first time.
Because he didn't know why he went into a bar as a non-drinker.
Is it possible to be like Jay Chou and only order milk at the bar?
…
After three rounds of drinking, except for Chen Muwu, who had been sitting at the bar drinking soda water, everyone else was gradually dominated by the rising alcohol in their bodies. Kapitsa even bought an accordion from nowhere and started playing in the pub. The center played and sang the Russian version of "Troika".
Although Kapitsa's English is mixed with a lot of pronunciation, and whenever he talks about excitement, he will pop out a few Russian words from time to time.
But because of his cheerful and familiar character, less than two years after arriving at the Cavendish Laboratory, everyone in Cambridge County knew that Trinity College had such an optimistic and lively Sulian. people.
Everyone gathered around Kapitsa, singing and dancing to the music.
Under the dim light of the bar, Chen Muwu opened the letter from Berlin, Germany, that Blackett had sent him earlier from the Cavendish Laboratory.
In his letter, Planck first congratulated Chen Muwu for entering the University of Cambridge, and congratulated him for publishing several papers within a few months, each of which had received good responses.
Then, Planck changed the subject and got to the point.
He asked Chen Muwu if he could stop staring at the British "Proceedings of the Natural Sciences" in the future, get some rain and dew, and contribute more articles to the "Annals of Physics".
In recent years, a new German-language physics journal called "Journal of Physics" has appeared in Germany, and it is gaining momentum. Now it can basically keep pace with the "Annals of Physics" and has the potential to surpass its predecessor.
As the editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Physics", Planck naturally couldn't bear to see this old physics journal founded in the 18th century decline in his own hands. He tried every means to continue the glory of this publication.
In the first two decades of the 20th century, especially in 1905, all five papers written by Einstein in the Miracle Year were published in the "Annals of Physics", which helped to add a wave of momentum to this journal. transport,
In the following ten years, Einstein was the backbone of the entire journal. As long as his papers existed, the quality of "Annals of Physics" was guaranteed.
But after entering the 1920s, the defeat of World War I and the economic recession caused by the defeat intensified anti-Semitic sentiment in Germany. Many Germanic scientists came forward to criticize Einstein's Jewish physics for causing disaster to the country and the people. The theory of relativity became their The primary target of criticism.
The leader of this was Philip Leonard, the Nobel Prize winner in physics in the miracle year of 1905 and the director of the Physics Laboratory of Heidelberg University at the time.
He is an extremely narrow-minded nationalist. Because Germany was defeated by France in World War I, in the Heidelberg University physics laboratory that Leonard directed, he was not allowed to use the name of the Frenchman Ampere for the unit of electric current. The name should be replaced by the name of the German physicist Weber.
Einstein couldn't stand this kind of inexplicable accusations and attacks. In addition, German Jewish Foreign Minister Rathenau was assassinated by far-right forces, and this group of violent elements claimed that the next assassination target was Einstein.
This made him finally decide to leave the land of right and wrong and travel frequently to give lectures in the Americas, East Asia and Northern Europe, rather than return to the German physics circle.
Einstein's withdrawal from the academic circle has left the "Annals of Physics" without a stable contributor, and there are currently no leading figures of the younger generation in the German physics community, so Planck has to turn his attention to recent developments in physics. Chen Muwu, a Chinese genius who is famous in the world of physics.
In fact, in the original space-time journal, it did gradually decline after Einstein left abroad. The last relatively heavyweight article published on it was the wave equation published by Schrödinger in 1925.
…
Chen Muwu didn't know what Planck was thinking. He just felt that Planck had installed surveillance cameras around him or arranged spies.
Otherwise, why did Planck know that he had just written a paper, and the content was still related to his black body radiation?
Chen Muwu had been struggling before whether to submit this purely theoretical paper to the British "Proceedings of the Natural Sciences" or the German "Annals of Physics". Now that he has received Planck's letter, he immediately has the answer. .
It seems that I have to give this old man some face.
Just when Chen Muwu was thinking about where to find a German to help him translate his paper, another group of students came into the Eagle Bar.
"Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this."
