Say Einstein, and Einstein will come to your door.
In addition to Bohr and Heisenberg, while Chen Muwu was away competing, he also sent a letter from Berlin.
Since he returned to Germany after receiving the award from Sweden last summer and reestablished contact with Chen Muwu, the correspondence between the two has never stopped.
Obviously this time, Einstein should have met Langevin and de Broglie in Berlin, and also received the letter sent to him by Chen Muwu.
In the letter, Einstein once again praised his Chinese genius.
Einstein saw the paper published by Chen Muwu that used electron diffraction to verify the wave nature of electrons, and also praised his idea that all matter has wave properties.
Einstein also said in the letter that he had recently calculated and analyzed the quantum ideal gas according to the new statistical method proposed by Chen Muwu, and found that the pressure of this quantum ideal gas also comes from two components, respectively. It's particles and waves.
He plans to publish this paper, which to a certain extent can also illustrate the self-consistency between Chen Statistics and Chen Bo's two theories.
Chen Muwu always felt that the title Einstein used in his letter was a bit strange.
Well, there is nothing wrong with the English name "Chen Wave".
But after translating it into Chinese "Chen Bo", Chen Muwu always felt that there was something wrong with this word.
After he obtains his doctorate, he must not let others call him "Chen Bo".
In the future, I must find an opportunity to clarify to the physics community that there is no problem in using his surname "Chen" to name other experiments and theories developed by Chen Muwu.
It's just this matter wave. Let's just call it "Matter Wave" honestly. Don't call it something other than Chen Bo!
Einstein also said in the letter that Langevin relayed to him the fourth quantum number of the atomic model and the related theories of electron spin published by Chen Muwu at the Solvay Conference. He also heard about his and Luo's work. There were some disputes between Lenz and Lenz about whether electron spin would violate the theory of relativity.
It is true that he proposed that classical theory plus relativity theory can solve the spin problem, but he always felt that it was strange to use this method. Maybe the electron's spin did not really rotate like the earth.
Einstein finally comforted Chen Muwu that it didn't matter that he couldn't go to Germany to meet him this time. After all, graduation was the top priority for him now. There would be plenty of time to meet him in the future, so this time would be the best.
This letter from Einstein is really long. After the end, there is another...
He said that his new acquaintance, Louis, the younger brother of Duke de Broglie (Maurice), who came with Langevin, was also a very interesting person.
Chen Muwuxin said that Debroglie is not only interesting, he will also be the pioneer of your old love in the future.
If the Copenhagen School, which is full of talents, can be compared to Cao Wei, then Einstein is like Shu Han, all supported by his love for the prime minister.
There were only two people under him who were relatively well-known, one was Schrödinger and the other was de Broglie.
Einstein continued in the letter, "Louis has often praised you Chen Muwu in front of him these days as a smart man, and also taught him how to play mahjong."
This brain game from China is indeed quite interesting!
…
In addition to the letters from the two old and one new physicists, Chen Muwu also received a large envelope from the organizer of the Solvay Conference.
The envelope contained a group photo of this Solvay conference, as well as several photos that Chen Muwu hired a photographer to take for him and others, including a photo with Eve with the big tree as the background.
After Chen Muwu took out the photos and browsed them one by one, he put them in an envelope and prepared to take them back to Mrs. Brown's house and pack them together with the big group photo from the Cavendish Laboratory last fall.
…
A talkative guy from the Cavendish Laboratory, a nerd from the Mathematics Department, and a gourmet from the English Literature Department. These three unrelated people were able to get together entirely because Chen Muwu was the link between them.
After attending Ye Gongchao's master's thesis defense at Magdalen College, the four of them got together for a meal.
Ye Gongchao had made up his mind to leave England for France. Chen Muwu suddenly thought of a certain line in a certain song "Xintianyou", "The one called Bai Huahua, the one called Shui Lingling," such a good place cannot keep you.
But then he thought again, Cambridge University is indeed not a good place. Basically, there are either bald men or men who are not bald yet.
Paris's reputation as the "Romantic City" has long been known around the world.
Ye Gongchao has passed his 20th birthday this year, and he has reached the age when "having a boy makes you pregnant".
It is understandable that he wants to leave the monk temple in Cambridge and go see the colorful world outside.
However, the key to this delicious food is that you don’t have to cook it yourself. Now it’s one less meal to eat.
A few days ago, the publishing house sent a sample book, and they took it upon themselves to write Chen Muwu's name in the author's column on the cover.
Chen Muwu just came up with an idea and made many revisions to the manuscript. Most of the rest of the text work was written by Ye Gongchao.
Moreover, this gentleman is not as accustomed to using a typewriter as Chen Muwu. All manuscripts are written letter by letter on the manuscript paper.
He revised it several times, and finally copied it cleanly. The workload was really quite a lot.
Chen Muwu really couldn't bear to erase the fruits of other people's labor in this way.
So he took the opportunity of eating and asked Ye Gongchao with a sample book: "Gongchao, tell me, what name should the author of this book use?"
Ye Gongchao thought for a while and said: "Brother Hanchen, why not just name the protagonist Chen George in the book, you and I each come up with a name. My last name is Ye, and it starts with Y, so I named 'York'." .”
"Then I'll just come up with 'Chandler' and use Chandler York as our pen name. How about that?"
The Chandler Chen Muwu chose was not from the TV series "Friends", but from one of his favorite mystery writers, Raymond Chandler.
"That couldn't be better." Ye Gongchao also liked this name very much.
When Chen Muwu put down the book and planned to continue eating, this "Murder on the Paris Express" naturally could not escape Kapitsa's clutches.
"Chen, did you write this book? Look, your name is indeed on it. But what kind of publisher is Penguin Publishing? Why have I never heard of it before? Oh my god, this is still One!"
At first, Chen Muwu wanted to propose calling the publishing house Panda Publishing House.
But then he looked for information and found that few Westerners have ever seen a living panda.
If the name panda is used now, Chen Muwu is afraid that it may cause more poachers to sneak into the hinterland of China and hunt this rare animal on a large scale.
So in the end, the final name of this publishing house was Penguin.
As soon as he read the beginning, Kapitsa was completely attracted by the content of the book.
Because the journey of the protagonist George Chen in the book is exactly the story that happened on the way to Europe by train from his own country, which gave him a strong sense of resonance.
In fact, when Chen Muwu and Ye Gongchao were writing the book, they also inquired about many things from Kapitsa, but he didn't notice it at the time.
Kapicha watched with great interest, and Ye Gongchao also left the table and ran to the kitchen to see if the soup in the pot was ready.
At this time, Chen Muwu turned his attention to Dirac, who had been silent since the meal.
"Paul," became familiar with everyone, especially after Kapitsa got involved, Chen Muwu could finally stop calling him Mr. Dirac, but could call him by his first name.
"What have you been busy with recently? I have a small question here. Do you want to try it?"
With the "help" of his tutor Fowler and his roommate Chen Muwu, Dirac's research direction was finally drawn from the theory of relativity to the microscopic level within the atomic nucleus.
There is now another person in the world who is sad because students are being snatched away by emerging disciplines.
Oh, it turns out that this person is still Eddington, so nothing will happen.
The number of people grieving has not increased, and the world remains the same as before.
The little question Chen Muwu called was the issue that Heisenberg mentioned in his letter a few days ago that the g factor should be 2.
Compared with other physicists who focus on experiments, Dirac, who graduated from the Department of Mathematics, has a solid theoretical foundation. Maybe he can really test his skills with the theory of relativity and find a solution to the problem of factor 2.
The reason why Chen Muwu suddenly asked Dirac to try this question was because he wanted to make up for the debt he felt in his heart.
Yes, although the final defense of the doctoral thesis will not take place until three or four days later, Chen Muwu has already begun to figure out what to write for his next paper.
This time he planned to accomplish all his work in one go, publishing three wave equations in one go and writing a paper of dozens of pages. He could no longer let others scold him for being short and concise.
Of course, one of these three wave equations is the Dirac equation derived by Dirac in 1928.
After traveling for more than a year, he conducted several experiments and published several theories, but Chen Muwu never attacked the good brothers around him.
But this time, if he wants to completely establish quantum mechanics, the Dirac equation is a hurdle that Chen Muwu cannot get around no matter what.
That's why he felt a little sorry for his good brother, and wondered if he could compensate Dirac in other ways.
After listening to Chen Muwu's description, Dirac was indeed attracted.
Because whether it is the theory of relativity or electrons outside the nucleus, he is very interested in it.
But after thinking about it for a while, he said with some embarrassment: "Chen, I may not have time to think about your question now, because the final exam is coming soon, and I may have to devote myself to reviewing in the next period of time. .
"But don't worry, after the exam is over, I will immediately ask you for information to see if I can use the theory of relativity to solve the problem you raised."
"no problem."
This problem, as well as the solution to this problem within the classical framework, had been informed by Chen Muwu to Heisenberg in Germany and to Dirac who was nearby.
Now we have to see who of these two peers, whose birthdays are only more than half a year apart, will solve this problem earlier and become the smarter of the two smart people.
