On the first day of school, Liu Lang and Mr. Phelps, the dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, walked into the classroom. There were more than fifty students sitting in the classroom, chatting in groups. Among them
Most of them were Stanford undergraduates before and chose to continue their studies after graduation, so most of them are classmates. Only a few people were admitted to Stanford from other schools, but they are all young people, and Americans are also very enthusiastic.
Hospitality, the two of them went from strangers to acquaintances in less than a minute.
Seeing Professor Phelps come in, everyone became quiet. If they are Chinese students, they will immediately do something good when they see the teacher. Their backs will be straight and their hands may be clasped behind their backs. This is what all Chinese students have learned for many years.
Even in college, they will abide by this habit. However, American students do not understand these rules and are very casual in class.
, some classrooms even place chairs randomly, such as turning tables and chairs in circles, or having a tea party during class, and then teach the class while drinking tea and eating French fries. This kind of teaching method is not found in other countries.
Don't even think about it, but it's not uncommon in the United States. They never pay attention to form, as long as they get the goal.
"Mr. Phelps, we have another two years to go!"
When Phelps walked in, a tall white young man greeted him loudly.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Andrew Jr., didn't you say you wanted to create your own company? Why did you come back to study here? Did you buy the School of Mechanical Engineering?"
Professor Phelps said.
"Ha ha!"
The professor's humor made everyone laugh.
"Okay! When I buy the college, Professor, you will be the chief engineer of our company!"
The young man also laughed and said.
"Okay, but don't keep me waiting too long. If you come to me again in ten years, I'm afraid you'll have to say hello to God!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed again.
"Okay, today is the first day of our graduate school. I know many people, Mr. Andrew, Ms. Rachel, oh, Ms. Rachel, your clothes are very beautiful today. I hope you won't attract the attention of the young men around you.
Attract away, by the way, Mr. Ryder and Mr. Hawke, you are all very energetic today, you are not at all confused as you were during the exam!
Those students who walked into Stanford University for the first time are also very good. Congratulations on joining this big family. In the next two years, we will become a family. We will study some interesting things, such as quantum entanglement theory or the Hubble Telescope.
We need to do all the things that are launched into space!"
Professor Phelps is very humorous, and bursts of laughter can be heard from time to time in class.
Liu Lang smiled as he listened outside the door. This old professor, who was almost seventy years old, had a childlike innocence and was very familiar with the students. What was even more valuable was that his speech had changed all the major events in the scientific world in recent years.
Together.
Quantum entanglement theory is a thought experiment proposed by Einstein. Its core content is that there is a mysterious connection between two entangled quanta. This connection exceeds the speed of light and will occur instantly even if they are tens of billions of light years apart.
Obviously it violates the axiom that the speed of light is insurmountable, but just two years ago, scientists actually verified the phenomenon of quantum entanglement in the laboratory. This discovery shocked the entire physics world.
This incident almost overturned the "three views" of the scientific community. Scientists thought that their understanding of the quantum world had been greatly improved, but in the end they discovered that everything about the quantum world is still unknown, and the matter of exceeding the speed of light may have just begun.
Quantum entanglement has just been confirmed in this era, but Liu Lang knows that thirty years later this mysterious phenomenon has been applied to real objects, and China has also launched a satellite named "Mozi" to conduct higher-level research.
test.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a major event discussed in the entire scientific community recently. The Hubble Space Telescope is 13 meters long, 4.5 meters in diameter, 2.5 meters in diameter, weighs nearly 12 tons, and costs nearly 3 billion US dollars.
It is a behemoth. Its clarity is more than ten times that of ground telescopes. Once launched into the sky orbit, humankind's understanding of the universe will be completely subverted. It can be said that this telescope carries the hopes of countless scientific communities.
The telescope was originally going to be launched at the end of this year, but with the crash of the Challenger spacecraft at the beginning of this year, the launch plan was postponed indefinitely, which immediately caused an uproar in the scientific community.
Many scientific circles are discussing how to launch the Hubble Telescope as soon as possible, but who has such ability except NASA? There is no way, they can only pray to God, Phelps is here
Used this trick.
Liu Lang knew that it was four years after the Hubble Telescope was launched into the sky, but unfortunately, it was discovered that a serious malfunction occurred after the Hubble Telescope was launched into space. Its lenses turned into
A pair of "presbyopia", let alone looking at that
The deep space is so far away that even the Earth that is very close to you cannot be seen clearly. As a result, this became a big joke at the time. Fortunately, scientists and NASA teamed up to launch astronauts into space again, and they faced each other in the sky.
The telescope was repaired.
The Hubble Telescope, which returned to normal, immediately made humans realize the mystery and vastness of the universe. Humanity's vision suddenly expanded from millions of light-years to billions or even tens of billions of light-years. At the same time, countless things that were previously unimaginable were revealed.
Stars have also appeared in front of mankind. It can be said that the Hubble Telescope has made a great contribution to mankind's exploration of the universe.
"Okay, okay, we won't discuss these things for the time being. We all know each other, ladies and gentlemen. If you don't, then communicate quickly. But you are not all students. I won't talk about those who haven't come.
Come to my office when they come, I have to remember them well, and at the same time, I have brought a new classmate, who will be introduced to you personally by me!"
"Liu, come here!"
Professor Phelps waved to Liu Lang at the door.
"This is your new classmate, Liu Lang, who came from China. Through special admissions this year, he became the youngest graduate student since the founding of Stanford University. Of course, he is also the youngest graduate student!"
"What...?"
All the students were dumbfounded.
Someone saw Liu Lang just now and thought that this child was a junior of Phelps. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to be his grandson or a relative, because Phelps is a purebred white man. This child
The child is a standard Asian, and it can be seen from the physical appearance that they have no blood relationship.
But now Professor Phelps actually said that this child who looks to be only about ten years old is a graduate student at Stanford University. This is really more shocking than the discovery of quantum entanglement.
"Professor, do you think today is April Fool's Day?"
one student shouted.
"Haha, I know you will behave like this, shocked, confused and even angry after being teased. This is also what I want to see, but these emotions of yours are in vain... Liu, tell me
Bar!"
Phelps is really a naughty boy, much better than Professor Clare.
