Although the game StarCraft did not exist in Britain in 1850, through the tone of Lao Tang's words, it was not difficult for many members to understand his true intention:
Gewushe is going to do something big this time!
then.......
Swish——
No need for Lao Tang to remind you again.
The eyes of everyone in the room were all fixed on Xu Yun, who was in the position of protecting the law.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yun took the initiative to stand up and nodded to the audience.
Then he walked to the podium and made eye contact with Lao Tang, taking over the right to speak:
"Good evening, fellow students, I am Luo Feng."
Bang bang bang——
The audience burst into applause in response.
After the applause disappears.
Xu Yun organized some words, placed his hands on both sides of the podium, and continued to say to the crowd:
"Dear students, considering that everyone has been waiting for three full months, I won't be too pretentious here."
"Yes, I have called you all here today just to tell you one thing - Gewu Club will officially launch its first team-building activity since its founding, and the codename is what Mr. Thomson called 'Holy F2A'
.”
"This word comes from a blind game. You don't need to know the rules of the game. You only need to know that the word means to rush forward to the enemy."
Hearing Xu Yun's words.
Suddenly someone in the audience raised their hands and said:
"Classmate Luo Feng, I would like to interrupt you, but who is the 'enemy' you are talking about?"
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked around after regaining his composure.
It was discovered that the questioner was none other than Max Christian Friedrich Bruch.
Then Xu Yun quickly glanced at Lao Tang beside him, his look was obvious:
Brother, is this German guy an extra performed by you?
The timing of this compliment is just perfect.
Lao Tang calmly shook his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with me.
See this situation.
Xu Yun couldn't help but look away and said to Max Christian Friedrich Bruch:
"Student Bruch asked a very good question. The so-called F2... means that it is not difficult to gather everyone. I sent a message between classes and everyone showed up here."
"But who is the enemy who needs A to pass?"
"The answer is simple, that is..."
Xu Yun lengthened the syllables and pointed at a target that did not exist:
"That classic physics building!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Mentioned earlier.
The members who can be selected into the Gewu Club are not necessarily from famous families, but they must be enthusiasts with a certain understanding of physics - except for a very few exceptions like Bruch.
If they can repeat and calculate the speed of light and photoelectric effect experiments that Xu Yun originally demonstrated, they will naturally understand the practical significance of those three experiments.
They knew that Xu Yun had once severely shaken the foundation of the physics building by relying on the experimental plan left by Fat Fish.
In other words.......
With his previous achievements, Xu Yun is indeed qualified to say "bombarding the building of classical physics".
At the same time.
As supporters of the emerging natural sciences, at least 80% of the people present have encountered discrimination in campus life from students of classical... or classical disciplines.
This situation does not only happen at Cambridge University, but is a common problem among all top universities in this era.
For example, the direct reason why Gauss deciphered the construction of a regular heptadagon and a ruler and compass was that he encountered ridicule from a descendant of a nobleman at the University of Göttingen, who believed that mathematics was knowledge that only nobles needed to learn.
This chain of contempt contains a very strong political overtone, and it is difficult for an ordinary small-town problem solver to have the qualifications to enter the building of classical physics.
Therefore.
That's why they were ecstatic after Xu Yun performed those three experiments, and would go to the experimental site to simulate calculations whenever they had time - because they saw a faint glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.
So after being slightly surprised.
An impulse suddenly emerged in the hearts of most of the members:
Damn it!
Then a few more seconds passed.
A member who looked a little unfamiliar with Xu Yun couldn't help but raise his hand and said loudly:
"Classmate Luo Feng, what do you need us to do?"
As this person said these words, some other members also expressed their opinions:
"Student Luo Feng, I would like to ask, will this team building shake up classical physics as much as the photoelectric effect?"
"How much money do I need to pay? If it is too much, I will write a letter to my family saying that I accidentally beat my roommate to death and I will pay for it..."
"Didn't you use this excuse last time?"
"It's not a big problem. The spring breeze blows and things come back again."
"No need, no need. If you really need money, I can pay for it. I'm quite wealthy..."
Looking at the many chattering club members, Xu Yun smiled and made a downward gesture and said:
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to what I have to say."
"First of all, in terms of funding, you can rest assured that Aveline Alumni Association will provide full sponsorship for our event."
Aveline stood up and nodded to everyone after hearing the words.
do not forget.
This girl is currently the only heir to the Aisku family, and she holds a share of the sales of ketchup. She is a standard rich woman.
Xu Yun was venting his anger on her this time, so she naturally had to make some gestures.
Yesterday, when we were discussing the funding issue on the carriage, the girl asked directly whether one hundred thousand pounds was enough, which shocked even the time traveler Xu Yun.
To know.
Calculate according to the previous ratio.
One hundred thousand pounds is left for future generations, which is more than 1.1 billion...
Xu Yun’s Happy Beans are only over 30 million.
Therefore, with the support of the rich woman, Xu Yun is naturally confident at this time:
"As for whether some students asked whether it can be compared with the photoelectric effect... I can only say that there is no comparability between the two sides."
"The photoelectric effect only reveals some mysteries of optics in nature. Its essence actually broadens the space of physics, but it does not really shake the foundation of the physics building."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "For example, the classical wave equation derived from this. This equation was published by Professor Faraday in the last issue of the Royal Society Journal. Its form is actually some kind of classical physics.
expression."
"And what we are going to do this time is..."
"A deep and bottomless pit was dug at the foundation of the existing building."
Speaking of which.
Xu Yun was suddenly silent for a few seconds, and then the conversation changed to an unrelated topic:
"Dear students, can anyone tell me what the nature of light is?"
Soon, someone below raised their hand.
This person is also an old acquaintance of Xu Yun, Hubert Ally, the son of George Ally:
"According to the definition of the Royal Society of England in 1816, light is a special substance that is suspected to have wave and particle properties."
"It propagates in the ether, and its specific properties will undergo fixed changes depending on the situation."
Bang bang bang——
Xu Yun clapped his hands and cast an approving look at Hubert Airy:
"That's very well said, plus ten for Gryffindor... Ahem, in short it's perfect."
But the next second.
Xu Yun's eyes suddenly became profound, and his tone was subtle:
"But classmate Airi, have you ever thought about a possibility?"
Hubert Airy was slightly startled:
"What's possible?"
Xu Yun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, raised a finger and said:
"The second half of what you said is actually wrong. The wave-particle duality of light may change erratically under certain circumstances. At the same time..."
"Ether, this substance does not exist at all."
Wow——
Xu Yun just finished speaking.
A bunch of members of the Gewu Society stood up in front of them, followed by a burst of neat refutations:
"impossible!"
"No way!"
"Classmate Luo Feng, what are you talking about?"
"Classmate Luo Feng, are you awake?"
Aveline was the only one at the scene who looked calm, and everyone else...even Wheat and Lao Tang beside them were a little surprised.
If they hadn't considered that Xu Yun was an acquaintance, they might not have been able to help but question him.
The reason why the members at the scene had such a big reaction was not because they had a bad mentality, but because the bomb Xu Yun threw was too big.
The first is the wave-particle duality of light.
This timeline is influenced by Xu Yun's letter. The scientific community's understanding of wave-particle duality is earlier than the original history, and it is also clearer.
Although optics is still developing today, there is one recognition that has almost become an axiom:
That is, under a fixed situation, the properties displayed by light are fixed.
For example, Poisson's bright spot proves the wave nature of light.
Another example is the photoelectric effect previously developed by Xu Yun, which verified the particle nature.
In both cases, the properties of light will not change, which means that it is impossible for Poisson's bright spot to verify particle nature - although Poisson himself would like to see this scene.
Therefore, just what Xu Yun said, "The wave-particle duality of light may change erratically under certain circumstances" is enough to be surprising.
The words "clinker" were just an appetizer. Xu Yun later came up with another quite explosive point of view:
Ether does not exist!
ether.
This concept first appeared in more than 300 BC, proposed by Aristotle:
He called ether the fifth element that makes up the world besides water, fire, air, and earth, and it is one of the original substances of the world.
However, in the following two thousand years, ether did not occupy the mainstream of thought, and even withdrew from the public eye.
It was not until the appearance of a person that the ether was brought back to the stage.
This man is not Maverick, but Descartes.
Descartes believed that all forces between objects must be transmitted through media, and there is no so-called action at a distance.
Therefore, there cannot be nothing in space, but it is filled with a substance called ether.
Although ether cannot be sensed by the human body, it can transmit forces.
in the original history.
Although Mavericks did not explicitly agree with the etheric theory, he once said something in a letter to Pastor Bentley:
"The idea that one object can act on another object at a distance through a vacuum without any other medium is extremely absurd in my opinion!"
Therefore, later generations generally believe that Mavericks acquiesced in Descartes' view and believed that ether was the medium for gravity transmission.
Then in 1800, Thomas Young discovered the interference of light and the polarization of light.
This experiment completely made the wave theory overpower the particle theory and became the mainstream theory of the nature of light.
At that time, physicists' understanding of light waves was still based on the concept of mechanical waves. There was no medium in space, but the light from distant stars could still reach the earth.
Based on the characteristics of the medium required for the propagation of mechanical waves, people at the time believed that there must be some kind of medium that carried the propagation of light in space.
Ever since.
Ether once again entered the stage of scientific history as a medium.
It is absolutely stationary and fills every corner of the universe, acting as a medium for the transmission of light waves and force.
Without the ether, the classical physics at that time would not be self-consistent and would face the risk of collapse.
Therefore, physicists at that time generally believed that the ether absolutely existed and was unshakable.
The typical representative among them is none other than the wheat beside Xu Yun.
He published his first paper on electromagnetic theory in 1861, which was titled "On the Lines of Force in Physics".
It was in this paper that he extended the magnetic field in matter to the ether.
Wheat believes that the magnetic field is a row of vortices in a special medium such as ether. With ether, it can well explain the absolute space that is relatively static with the ether.
Although the current timeline has been distorted by Xu Yun's misfortune, it is only Maverick's absolute view of time and space that is affected, not the ether.
Many people in later generations often think that Maverick's absolute view of time and space and ether are the same concept, but in fact they were killed separately in the hands of Lao Ai.
In words that ordinary readers can understand, that is:
Special relativity is related to the ether.
General relativity is related to Newton's absolute space and time.
The general theory of relativity was not published until 20 years after the special theory of relativity was proposed.
Simple and clear.jpg.
Therefore, although Mavericks in this timeline gave up his absolute view of time and space, he still acquiesced in the existence of ether.
So even among these members who wanted to rebel, no one wanted to overthrow Aether.
Look at both timelines.
There is only one well-known scholar who has doubts about the ether, and that is Faraday.
But right now Faraday was humming and updating Gauss, so it was naturally impossible for him to appear here.
Therefore, in the face of Xu Yun’s statement.
These members subconsciously raised questions and gradually exceeded their trust in Xu Yun.
Some people even gathered around Xu Yun, their voices a little excited.
And just when the situation was getting a little out of control.
Suddenly a C5 tenor sounded in the activity room, drowning out the discussion in the room:
"That's enough, please calm down!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the speaker.
I only see this moment.
Max Christian Friedrich Bruch was frowning tightly and said in phlegm-like English:
"Everyone, this is the activity room of the Gewu Club. Standing in front of you is the third president of the Gewu Club. Where is your basic respect?"
As he spoke, he looked around and shook his head with disappointment:
"To be honest, I am a liberal arts student and I don't understand what you call the duality of ether and wave-particle."
"Looking at your posture, it seems that classmate Luo Feng said something that shocked your three views."
"In that case, I want to ask a question - among the many experiments Luo Feng has done before, have there been any failures or even one mistake or omission?"
As he spoke, he casually looked at a boy with a freckled face beside him. This person was one of Xu Yun's doubters:
"This classmate, please tell me if he has it?"
The freckled-faced boy was silent for a moment and shook his head:
"No."
Bruch looked at another person:
"What's your answer?"
"No."
"how about you?"
"......No."
Max Christian Friedrich Bruch asked seven or eight people in succession, and the answers he received were all "no".
So Bruch spread his hands and continued:
"That's strange. Since Luo Feng has never failed, why are you so anxious to question him? - I remember you said you wanted to donate money at the beginning, but in the end... this is it?"
Bruch's response was still silence.
A few more seconds passed.
The freckled-faced boy suddenly said:
"Sorry, classmate Luo Feng, I went a little too far. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he returned to his position and stopped talking.
Then comes the second one...
The third....
the fourth.....
See this situation.
Xu Yun suddenly felt his shoulders relax and cast a grateful look at Bruch.
Good guy, I almost flipped over...
Maybe it’s because I’ve been exposed to top scientists before.
He hadn't adjusted his thoughts back to normal for a while, and he had overestimated his 'prestige' a little too much.
After all, so far.
The truly revolutionary electrons, cathode rays and X-rays have not yet been released to the public.
Therefore, although these Gewu Society members have a certain basis of trust in Xu Yun, it is only a 'basis'.
When his words touched on their own worldview, many people subconsciously chose to question it.
But who’s to say it?
In fact, these members cannot be blamed for this. After all, it is a cognitive issue.
Just like if you find someone in later generations to tell you that the full name of Bangkok is actually 'Gongtaifu Mahana Kunsen Thawalaudihi Ayuthayama Mahadi Lupu Orat Rattanipurilong Udon Pachani Weima
Hashatan', how many people do you think would believe it?
But it’s really called that.
This is a problem of inherent cognition. Even Mai Laotang has doubts, let alone these members.
Fortunately, an outsider like Bruch helped, otherwise Xu Yun would have had to waste a lot of time.
Kraut saves the world.jpg.
But on the other hand.
Falsifying the ether first was part of his plan, and the sequence was not affected much.
So Xu Yun paused, and after the scene gradually calmed down, he said to everyone:
"Classmates, I can understand your mood. After all, what I said is indeed shocking."
"In that case..."
"Please give me some time, and I will let you see with your own eyes the evidence that ether does not exist, and another extremely shocking phenomenon."
"Before that, if you are still willing to believe me, I hope you can cooperate with me to do something."
After listening to these words.
It was Max Christian Friedrich Bruch again who raised his hand:
"I'm willing to help, classmate Luo Feng. If you need anything, just ask."
Next up is Hubert Airy:
"Count me in, Luo Feng was the one who found Conan Planet with Professor Gauss."
A few more seconds passed.
The third person raised his hand.
This person is a classmate of Lao Tang. I can’t remember his name clearly. I just remember that he comes from a poor family:
"Count me in. If I can give those authorities who claim to be noble a slap in the face, I will admit that the ether does not exist."
have to say.
Bruch's words were so crucial. The sentence "Has Xu Yun made any mistakes or omissions?" instantly made Xu Yun's image more three-dimensional.
Sometimes it's just like this, whether the same thing is mentioned or not is completely different.
So soon, more people raised their hands one after another.
"....I am willing too."
"Add me one."
...
A few minutes later.
Seeing a lot of raised arms in front of him, Xu Yun suddenly felt certain.
Then he organized some words and made his first request:
"Does anyone know a coffin maker? It would be best if my ancestors made coffin boards for Sir Isaac Newton."
