One hundred years later, Rolls-Royce is the best car brand in the world.
The same was true a hundred years ago.
One hundred years later, among Rolls-Royce's various series of models, the most luxurious is the Phantom.
The same was true a hundred years ago.
The Phantom is a new model upgraded on the basis of the discontinued Silver Phantom. It was first launched last year and is still the top model among Rolls-Royce's various series.
Perhaps because of the restoration of the gold standard, the pound sterling is much stronger than before. The price of the upgraded Phantom is not expensive, and it still remains at more than two thousand pounds.
It's not expensive, but Kapitsa received the Maxwell Scholarship for three consecutive years in the Cavendish Laboratory, and the total money earned during these three years was less than two thousand pounds.
He really dares to ask for it!
However, Chen Muwu felt that Rolls-Royce was a better brand and cheating from them, ah no, the difficulty of making money might be easier than that from Austin Motors.
He never knew how Baron Austin was connected with the University of Cambridge and how he donated £250,000 to build a cyclotron in the Cavendish Laboratory.
Although Austin is British, he immigrated to Australia when he was young and did not study for a day at Cambridge University.
But looking back at Rolls-Royce, this car brand has a close relationship with the University of Cambridge and Trinity College.
One of the founders of Rolls-Royce, Charles Rolls, also known as Rolls-Royce, happened to be an alumnus of the University of Cambridge. During his schooling, he studied at Trinity College.
Rawls, who entered the school in 1894, was a direct disciple of Russell, who entered the school in 1890, and Moore, who entered the school in 1892.
He entered Cambridge University a year earlier than Rutherford, who crossed the ocean from New Zealand to England in 1895.
However, Rutherford came to Cambridge University and entered the Cavendish Laboratory directly as a graduate student, unlike Rawls who started as an undergraduate.
But after all, they are both students of Trinity College. Just like Ramsey and Chen Muwu themselves, they still have some friendship with each other as classmates.
It stands to reason that there is such a connection between Rawls and Trinity College that when he becomes prosperous, as an outstanding alumnus, he will have to donate some money to the college no matter what.
Unfortunately, he died too young.
Because of the pursuit of extreme speed, Rolls chose to build cars with Royce.
However, early cars were actually very slow due to various factors.
So Rawls later turned his attention to the sky. He first played with hot air balloons, and after the invention of the airplane, he became one of the first people to eat crabs.
Rawls was the second person in the UK to obtain a pilot's license and the first person in the world to fly across the English Channel.
Perhaps because one of the founders loved flying, it was also a factor that led Rolls-Royce to produce aero engines.
Unfortunately, he was the first person to die in a plane crash in the UK.
In 1910, before World War I started and Rutherford had just returned to the UK from Canada to teach at Victoria University in Manchester, Rawls had already passed away.
Perhaps for this reason, the connection between Rolls-Royce and the Cavendish Laboratory is not that deep.
I wonder if through my teacher Rutherford’s relationship, I can get in touch with Rolls-Royce and sell my ideas for seat belts and airbags.
If this road fails, Chen Muwu actually has another way out, and that is to start with the Duke of York.
It is both a local brand and a luxury model, and its competitor Bentley has been in decline. With the right time and place, Rolls-Royce has already been recognized by the British royal family as a royal car.
The Duke of York, the "Prince of Industry" who often went to various factories for Parallax on his father's behalf, could introduce himself to Lord Mond of the Bonnemen Chemical Company before, so of course he could also introduce himself to the person in charge of Rolls-Royce.
Who dares not to give this second prince face?
Chen Muwu decided to take the time to make a model of a seat belt when he was done with it, take it to London, and continue to lobby his big benefactor.
"Peter, you're so brave. Do you know how much a Phantom costs?"
Chen Muwu pretended to be angry.
"Chen, I'm just joking, just joking. But if you want to buy a car, I recommend you buy a Phantom, because this car is really good. After you buy it, you can let me drive it occasionally. It will be fun. That’s fine. We’re the best of Cambridge friends, aren’t we?”
"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, I really have no plans to buy a car recently. Also, are you going to Paris or not? I'll pay for the ticket."
A best friend should be like a best friend. Anyway, the travel expenses to Paris are not too expensive, so Chen Muwu just spends money to find himself a travel companion, so that at least he will not be bored during the trip.
"Since you have invited me many times, my answer is, go!"
It is a pity that there is no such thing as an adoptive father in the UK now, otherwise Chen Muwu would feel that Kapitsa would have to give him a thumbs up.
…
Because he was only doing some copying work and basically no new content would be added, Dirac wrote this paper very quickly.
Within a few days, he wrote a paper proving the equivalence of matrix mechanics and wave mechanics.
At the very beginning, Dirac considered whether he should write the paper in German and submit it to the German "Annals of Physics" or the "Journal of Physics".
That’s right, the German physics journal “Journal of Physics” finally rose to prominence.
This is partly because Chen Muwu spent a whole year last year and did not send a single German paper to Max Planck in Berlin.
On the other hand, Planck is approaching retirement and he has no time to worry about so much.
The decline of the "Annals of Physics" is probably inevitable, but it is not clear whether the "Journal of Physics" can reach the heights of the original space and time.
Because Chen Muwu published those classic papers in the "Yearbook" a few years ago.
It was not only the two German physics magazines that were messed up, but also Planck's posthumous affairs.
His professorship at the Humboldt University of Berlin, like the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, is also a tenure-track position.
However, after his retirement, his professorship became vacant.
One carrot and another pit. According to the original direction of time and space, the candidate for the new carrot should be Schrödinger.
But now Schrödinger has not figured out wave mechanics. He is still just an unknown teacher at the University of Zurich in Switzerland.
So the selection went on and on, and in the end, the teaching position at the University of Berlin was given to Pauli at the University of Hamburg.
Wolfgang had disliked Chen Muwu for so many years, and was even beaten up by the latter in Copenhagen.
But it was this beating that made him a blessing in disguise. In the German physics community, it was a great honor to be able to succeed Planck.
Pauli succeeded Planck, and Planck succeeded Kirchhoff. This is how German physics was passed down from generation to generation.
Dirac's idea of writing a thesis in German was directly rejected by Chen Muwu.
Because there is really no need. Dirac is a doctor who has not graduated from Cambridge University. In the UK, his status may still be somewhat influential.
But when he comes to Germany, no one will treat him as a green onion.
If Chen Muwu was asked to write a letter of recommendation to Berlin, maybe Planck would accept it in full and publish the paper.
But Dirac's father came from a French-speaking canton in Switzerland. He could speak English and French fluently, but his German was almost meaningless.
If you write your paper in German, there will inevitably be some vocabulary and grammatical errors.
If you ask other people in the laboratory to review and correct errors, it will take a lot of extra time.
Rather than go to all that trouble, why not just publish it in an English-language journal?
Dirac had already put the paper in an envelope and thrown it into the mailbox and sent it to the editorial office of the Royal Society's "Proceedings of the Natural Sciences". Chen Muwu's new paper was still on the typewriter.
Although Dirac was asked to write in English, his paper was in German.
He has been away from Planck for more than a year. This is barely a kind of compensation for Chen Muwu. He gives the old man a retirement gift. Love comes from the UK.
For this reason, he also specially changed the beginning of half a piece of paper that had been typed before, and changed all the content into German.
Chen Muwu was thinking, writing and drawing on the scratch paper, looking up the English-German dictionary, and typing on the typewriter.
In addition, you also need to pay attention to leaving enough blank space to draw schematic diagrams and write formulas.
Coupled with the fact that he didn't draw a bunch of diagrams and formulas, his workload this time was very heavy, so it was normal for his progress to be slower than Dirac's.
After finishing his thesis, Dirac left the Cavendish Laboratory for the time being, and the work of compiling quantum mechanics lecture notes with Chen Muwu was temporarily put on hold.
The days are getting longer and the shadows under the sun are getting shorter and shorter. He has to prepare for his PhD defense first.
…
In Göttingen, Germany, von Neumann was also speeding up the progress because of his curiosity about Chen Muwu and his longing for Cambridge University.
He did not dare to neglect the tasks assigned to him by his teacher Hilbert. After staying up for several days and using countless sheets of scratch paper, he finally had an idea on how to prove the mathematical consistency of the two quantum mechanics methods. Strict equivalence.
This proof process even has something to do with my teacher, because Hilbert space is used in it.
However, he only completed a small amount of work, and it was not the sixth of Hilbert's twenty-three problems, which was the axiomatization of physical theory. Von Neumann was embarrassed to take his proof and go to the Hilbert discussion.
Fortunately, what I am studying can be said to be both a mathematical problem and a physics problem.
Although there are not many mathematicians who understand physics at the University of Göttingen, there are also not many physicists who understand mathematics...it seems that there are also not many.
Although there are not many, there are still a few after all.
Today in Göttingen, the leader of theoretical physics is Born.
Born's best student in mathematics was Jordan.
Von Neumann took his own scratch paper with ideas on it and went to Bourne's office.
After Chen Muwu founded quantum mechanics, he suddenly disappeared and went to study astronomy and low-temperature physics.
But Born's group has continued to study quantum mechanics.
When Blackett received the Moseley Scholarship and came to the University of Göttingen to do experiments under Professor Frank, Born had also sent an invitation to Chen Muwu through him, hoping that he could stop by in Stockholm after receiving the award. Exchange visit to Germany.
Unfortunately, the concubine was interested but the man was ruthless. Born did not receive a reply from Chen Muwu.
He could only communicate with Chen Muwu of Cambridge University on issues in quantum mechanics through letters and telegrams.
Under this approach, Dr. Chen no longer showed such indifference, but his unique insights could often be seen in his replies.
Strictly proving the equivalence of two mechanics has always been an unavoidable problem in quantum mechanics.
After more than a year of accumulation, Born and his assistant Jordan felt that it was time to challenge this issue.
So they started doing the same thing as Dirac and von Neumann, except that the progress of this group was the slowest among the three.
This is because although their mathematical skills are considered good among physicists, they are not comparable to those of mathematics majors.
Although Professor Hilbert has just encountered Waterloo in mathematics, his status at the University of Göttingen is still supreme.
So when von Neumann first entered Born's office, Aiwujiwu's master and apprentice were very polite to the young man who was favored by Hilbert.
It wasn't until he revealed the purpose of his trip and put the scrap paper on his desk to explain his thoughts that Jordan's face quietly changed color.
It’s not scary to bump into other people’s research topics, but what’s scary is that not only do you bump into other people’s research topics, but other people’s progress is much faster than yours.
Von Neumann received comments that satisfied him in this office.
Born believed that his idea was very correct. It was estimated that in less than half a week, he would be able to draw specific and correct conclusions and write a good paper.
He promised to write a letter of recommendation for von Neumann later and send it to the editorial office of the Journal of Physics together with the paper.
After Hilbert's young man left, Born kindly comforted his student and assistant Jordan: "Pascual, since someone else has done this work before us, then I think we can It’s time to change to a new research direction.
"Not long ago, Professor Bohr wrote to me, saying that he had successfully lobbied, and perhaps Dr. Chen will soon publish a new paper on quantum mechanics. Maybe his paper will bring us something Here’s a new idea!”
Jordan kept talking in front of Born, showing respect and humility.
But when he left the office after get off work and returned home, he started to get angry and lose his temper.
He hated that Hungarian Jew von Neumann so much that he had to jump out at this moment and cause trouble for himself!
Such words must be suppressed at home before being spoken out, because Jordan's teacher Born was also a Jew.
He felt that he was hiding in the house and was incompetent and furious. After venting, he sat down at his desk, spread out the manuscript paper, and wrote an article to the "Göttingen Zeitung" cursing the Jews using the pen name he had just thought of. Contribute.
Although there is no Oppenheimer who transferred from Cambridge to Göttingen, the wheel of this world seems to have returned to its original track inadvertently.
