Marcus picked up the "Nature" journal that fell on the desk again, and carefully read Dieppe's paper from beginning to end.
This time, he was more focused and energized than during the review, so much so that after most of the day, he gently tapped the desk with his black gloves: "If electrons are regarded as wave-like, then the issues of electron energy levels and orbits in New Alchemy are
Now that there is a direction for explanation, no wonder His Excellency Lucien Evans attaches such great importance to Dieppe's hypothesis."
This is an inner thought, and he is not afraid of being known by others. Therefore, Marcus, who instinctively hates the theory of light quantum, is unwilling to call Lucien your Excellency. However, when he thinks of this name, he is reminded of his theory of relativity on electromagnetic phenomena in moving systems.
The important role, as well as the description of the essence of gravity that makes people admire and worship, so I subconsciously added another Sir.
"No matter what, this hypothesis is still too bold and must be confirmed by experiments." Marcus put down the "Nature" journal, left the committee member's office, returned to his magic tower, and joked to himself, "The particle theory
It is a perfect irony that authority and support rely on the incredible thing that electrons are waves to correct the energy levels and orbits of electrons and perfect the new alchemy. When he proposed the light quantum hypothesis, I wonder if he ever thought that such a day would happen.
?”
For arcanists who have experienced baptism over and over again, if they blindly follow other people's opinions and believe without verification, they will definitely not be able to survive until now. Therefore, although Lucien's famous great arcana
The teacher has the absolute authority to be correctly shaped time and time again, but Marcus will not easily agree with his views. Everything is based on experimental phenomena or data. The only impact of Lucien's editor's note is that he will
This paper has attracted the most attention, as it is the approach and path closest to the reality of the microscopic world.
If he really designed and completed this experiment and verified the volatility of electrons, he would receive unimaginable rewards, and he would probably share real-world feedback and the Evans Arcane Award with Dieppe!
Your strength, reputation, future, and status will all be greatly improved!
In the magic tower.
Yana looked at the "Nature" in front of him dumbfounded: "This is really unexpected. Your Excellency Evans gave such a high evaluation. Is this to encourage everyone to open their minds?"
"Electrons are waves. This is really an era full of fantasy. Twenty or thirty years ago, anyone who dared to say that atoms are waves would have to endure the ridicule of every arcanist. But now, tsk..."
He did not mean to laugh, but expressed his inner shock with these words. Then his eyes diverged and he fell into deep thought, looking for ideas for designing experiments.
Even the electromagnetic faction magicians like them, who are delighted with Dieppe's hypothesis, have this attitude.
Not to mention other arcanists who cannot accept it.
Elemental Will Headquarters.
Larry, K and Gaston also looked at this issue of "Nature" and fell into a state of confusion. After a while, Larry smiled bitterly: "Am I too conservative? Or is the world changing so fast that we
Can’t keep up with the times?”
"I don't think anyone in the entire parliament can keep up with such a pace." Gaston shook his head, "Lucien should have seen the dawn of solving the new alchemical electron distribution model from this hypothesis, and that's why he gave him the utmost support.
A big evaluation, but he himself said that it must rely on experimental results and phenomena, and now everything is still blank. Whether the electron is a wave or not is still unknown."
When he said this sentence, both Gaston who was speaking and Larry and K who were listening felt that there was something indescribably weird. When is it difficult to connect the subject and object of something like "Is an electron a wave?"
They just mingled together quietly.
This weirdness is like someone asking whether humans are made of waves.
K nodded and scratched the back of his head: "If we change our point of view just because of a hypothesis and Lucien's affirmation, then our point of view cannot be called a point of view. Moreover, all current experiments have fully verified the particle nature of electrons.
, there is no doubt about it.”
"This is the arcane attitude we should have." Gaston said in approval, while slightly frowning. If electrons are regarded as waves that can solve various problems in the new alchemy, it can be regarded as an indirect verification.
reality.
Although starting from this hypothesis, it is not something that can produce results in a short time if it wants to construct a theory and perfect a new alchemy, and the electron wave experiment also shows signs of improvement in the future due to wavelength issues, but Gaston can't help but worry.
When the time comes, which of the two basic theories in the fields of elements and matter will I give up? Particle theory or new alchemy?
"This is really an era with so many changes and weirdness that it is difficult to adapt to it." Sighing secretly, Gaston decided that everything should be based on experiments. He could only grasp the pulse of the times in this way and do a good job.
I am prepared to admit that the current model of particle theory and new alchemy is wrong, but in this way, my own strength may stagnate before finding a way.
Larry also sighed: "If it is really verified that electrons are waves, I simply cannot understand this world. What is wave-particle duality and why does it exist? Alas, it's not that I am too stupid, but
It’s a crazy world like that.”
Inside the Atomic Research Institute.
Lazar, Heidi, Annick and others were all holding the "Nature" journal in a daze, rarely getting into work mode.
At this time, Lucien who came in from outside the door woke them up, and they all gathered around. The always bold Heidi asked eagerly: "Teacher, do you agree with Mr. Dieppe's electron wave hypothesis?"
"If light has wave-particle duality, why can't it be extended to microscopic particles, and this can turn the quantization imposed in the new alchemy into the intrinsic properties of electrons." Lucien didn't have time to take off his black top hat.
After thinking for a while, he decided to clearly explain the things that were not obvious in Dieppe's paper, "You guys disperse first, and I will explain it slowly."
As long as an arcanist who specializes in! Electricity > Waves sees Dieppe's paper and his own comments and relates to the current bottleneck situation of the new alchemical theory, he can directly think that if the electron is a wave, then its orbital model should
How to deal with it, and whether quantized energy levels and orbitals will be naturally derived.
With doubts, Heidi, Ophelia and others slowly dispersed and followed Lucien into the conference room.
"First of all, this is a hypothesis that has not yet been confirmed. We must be highly skeptical. I am very pleased that you are not willing to blindly believe my comments." Lucien first confirmed the attitudes of Annick, Lowe and others.
It eased their impatience a lot.
Lucien put the hat on the conference table: "But this does not mean that we cannot try to apply this hypothesis to solve some problems virtually to broaden our thinking. If this hypothesis can well answer some current contradictions, then we can
We need to look back and pay more attention to this hypothesis and give it more attention. It is based on this that I made such a comment."
"...···If electrons are regarded as standing waves, then they must have orbits that are an integral multiple of their own wavelength when they are bound around the nucleus. In this way, quantized orbits are no longer imposed on the electrons.
, but its own inherent properties..."
Listening to Lucien's talk, Splinter and other arcanists who had participated in the debate and perfection of New Alchemy nodded slightly. The problem of forced quantization that Hathaway accused them of had always been something they could not avoid, and
Now there seems to be a solution. Even assistants such as Blake and Ophelia who are less involved and mainly focus on reading and studying papers have similar feelings. But why should this direction be at the expense of particle theory?
"Teacher, all the experiments we have completed have confirmed the particle nature of electrons without a doubt." Annick expressed his opinion euphemistically but firmly.
Lucien smiled and nodded: "I have never denied the particle nature of electrons."
"Then how can it show volatility?" Led by Annick, Splinter and Katrina asked at the same time.
Lucien smiled and said: "Then why can light not only exhibit particle properties, but also obtain classic diffraction and interference patterns?"
"It is probably because of other reasons that particles exhibit wave properties in some form of organization, such as positional vibrations, or it may be that many waves, as proponents of the wave theory believe, are wrapped together to form nodes, thus exhibiting particle properties."
Annick is not shy or shrinking from arcane discussions
Lucien shook his head: "This may be possible. I want to correct a misunderstanding. Waves and particles are the definitions of light and electrons that we impose on electrons. They have never shouted that they are particles or waves. We can completely
Let's use a new term to call electrons, such as "I can't imagine its existence form," because its name is an artificial symbol, and what can we actually grasp? It's the experimental results and our actual observations.
The things we see, that is to say, what properties they exhibit.”
"Wave and particle are previous definitions derived from experience summaries and may not be applicable to the microscopic world. If we want to explore in a new field, we must learn not to be bound by old experiences and thinking patterns."
Seeing the students, the assistants fell silent, and Lucien smiled: "I'm here to attend the meeting of the Supreme Council. Let me talk about this first. You can try to design experiments to verify or overturn this hypothesis. After all, it is still a hypothesis."
"The wavelength of electrons..." Lazar said with a headache.
Lucien pointed to the books on the bookshelf of the institute: "Look at the content on crystals. Jerome, you should know very well that more than a year ago, Mr. Morris accidentally used X-rays during an alchemical experiment.
The crystal has discovered its diffraction phenomenon, and the wavelength of X-rays is very short, so we can start from this aspect."
"The electron is shorter than that." Rock muttered and went to get the books, while the others were also looking for information on crystal diffraction.
Lucien looked at their backs and shook his head. Unless there was the blessing of the goddess of luck, it would be difficult for them to discover the diffraction phenomenon of electrons, because the current research on crystals by the Magic Council is deformed, very deformed, and the source of this lies in mathematics.
The lag and utilitarianism of field development.
The study of crystals must be supported by group theory, and group theory is based on the development of various mathematical fields, such as number theory. However, the Magic Council's research on "groups" and "number theory" is still at a relatively low level.
Lucien did not deliberately guide them to develop in this direction, so the research on crystals only had some reverse analysis and accidental discoveries from magic, without systematic theoretical support.
Fortunately, after the establishment of Levski Geometry and the release of "Nature", Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway, Prophet, Astrologer, Mina, Nesika, Samantha and other tower or non-tower arcanists
They have all exerted their talents in the field of pure mathematics and made varying degrees of progress in number theory, groups and other things. Unfortunately, because the time is still too short, they have not been able to initially build it. They will be given a few or more years to complete.
about there.
Due to the delay in the institute, Lucien was almost among the last to enter the meeting room of the Supreme Council. The first thing he saw was the teacher's terrifying eyes that contained a storm.
"Oops, the teacher won't doubt that I have completed the experiment, right?" Lucien felt that it was very possible. In the teacher's mind, he was always the one who gave comments only when he was prepared.
"There is no experiment to prove the wave nature of electrons..." Hathaway suddenly said, looking at Lucien indifferently but seriously, and all the members, including Helen and Vicente, looked at Lucien together.
Lucien let out a breath. Is it necessary to conduct a "communication" on Dieppe's paper before the meeting?
This is really the "normal form" of the Supreme Council meeting...
