Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 106 54 I am an experiment saboteur

"And that roommate of yours is like a telegraph pole.

"This morning, you were still sleeping in your room and didn't get up. I went to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. Seeing that the weather outside was a bit gloomy, I wanted to have a word with your roommate.

"I asked casually, it seems to be raining outside, right?

"Talking about the weather has no other meaning, it's just a way for people to quickly stir up topics and shorten the distance between people. As a result, guess what this British man replied to me?"

"what?"

"He didn't answer at all, but stood up directly from the chair by the table, went to the window and looked outside for a long time, then turned around again, and told me with a serious face, there are still people outside now. It wasn't raining."

"Pfft! Hahahaha..."

De Broglie complained to Dirac angrily, making Chen Muwu laugh out loud.

He didn't doubt it at all, these were all made up by De Broglie.

Because of his roommate Dirac, his personality really seems to be someone who can do such things and say such things.

General Electric’s $[-] vacuum pump was transported to the Cavendish Laboratory by de Broglie’s servants this morning. Now it only needs to be connected to the electron diffraction tube that Chen Muwu had prepared long ago, and then Start the vacuum pump, slowly pump out the air in the tube, and let the vacuum degree drop to the lowest level, then you can judge from the graphics displayed on the photographic film whether the electron is a wave or not.

De Broglie, who has become a monk halfway through history, is not a theorist who is a gentleman and does not act.

He manipulated the radio on the Eiffel Tower for several years, and once in his elder brother's laboratory, he personally did related experiments on X-rays.

So now in the electron diffraction experiment, he didn't appear to be at a loss, but he was a little nervous about the unknown experimental results.

But looking at Chen Muwu next to De Broglie, the old man is even more composed.

He already knew the result of the experiment. As long as the vacuum is low enough, the electrons passing through the gold foil will definitely leave a diffraction pattern of concentric rings on the photographic film.

The only difficulty in this experiment is that the vacuum pump can provide a high degree of vacuum, but its efficiency is really low. It takes at least four or five hours to pump the vacuum inside the diffraction tube to seven decimal places.

De Broglie stared intently at the equipment on the table, fearing that if he didn't pay attention, the final result would be affected.

Chen Muwu couldn't bear his temper, and he didn't want to squeeze De Broglie's head together, staring at the pointer on the pump, and simply left the door of the laboratory, intending to go to the laboratory where there is usually no one except him. Some people go to the conference room to be quiet and quiet. Think about what you want to write in your next paper after this experiment is finished.
As soon as he walked out of the laboratory door, Chen Muwu found Stoner in the next-door laboratory smoking a cigarette standing outside the door.

It was the first time he saw a real person today. Chen Muwu wanted to say hello and leave, but Stoner took his pipe from his mouth and stopped in the middle of the road to chat with him.

"Chen, I read your paper last year that explained Bohr's atomic model using electrons as waves.

"The experiment I am doing now happens to be related to the energy level of electrons. I have used X-rays to conduct experiments on several different atoms, and I don't know if I have discovered a new law.

"Your theory in this area seems to be very profound, can you help me see the experimental results?"

Well, just as I thought the electron diffraction experiment was boring, another job came to my door.

"Well, I have nothing to do now anyway."

Chen Muwu followed Stoner into the door of the laboratory next door.

Stoner picked up a stack of experimental data from the table and handed it to him.

"Look, Chen, about the sequence of integers discovered by Rydberg: 2, 8, 18, 32..., and Bohr's atomic model proposed that each integer corresponds to the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the electron shell. Quantity. I seem to have found a solution to this sequence.

"According to my recent experimental results, what I consider is to divide each electron layer into several electron sub-layers. According to different angular momentum quantum numbers L, each electron sub-layer can accommodate up to 2(2L+1) electrons.

"But now there is another problem, that is, I have found through experiments that when the maximum number of electrons can be accommodated, there can only be (2L+1) orbitals in each sublayer, that is to say, on each orbital, there can only be at most Two electrons are right..."

Before Stoner finished speaking, Chen Muwu's mind was already in a mess.

Pao... Pauli Exclusion Principle? !
Of course Chen Muwu knew what Stoner was talking about, and he also knew why there could only be two electrons in each orbital at most.

Isn't it just electron spin?

The spin of the electron can only have two cases of positive and negative one-half, so there can only be at most two electrons in each orbit.

But he didn't know how Pauli's exclusion principle was proposed, and what he didn't know was that the stoner in front of him and the paper on the experiment he was doing now would be published in journals in the future. One of Pauli's inspirations.

Seeing Chen Muwu beside him stunned, Stoner didn't know what happened to this genius in Cavendish's laboratory. Could it be that he took the wrong medicine when he went out today?
"Chen, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing, Mr. Stoner, I think your experiment is very good, you can go a step further, try changing a few more atoms, and see if this rule exists only in rare gases and alkali metals, all A universal law that all atoms exist.

"I have thought of a good idea about the experimental phenomenon you proposed, but there is no time to perfect it. After I finish the experiment at hand, we will discuss this matter together."

Stoner sighed in his heart, a genius is worthy of being a genius, in such a short period of time, he has already come up with an idea of ​​how to explain this phenomenon, and he can only do experiments foolishly.

Kapitza and Blackett, just because they hugged Chen Muwu's thigh, have become a group of people who have made some achievements in Cavendish's laboratory.

Now the time is finally turning, is it my turn to hold my thigh?

"Okay, okay! I will definitely do this experiment well and try to give you the most accurate experimental data!"

After leaving Stoner's laboratory, Chen Muwu was in no mood to go to the conference room to think about the topic of his next thesis, because the next paper had just been delivered to his door by Stoner himself, and now it was within easy reach.

He turned and entered the door of his own laboratory again, de Broglie still staring at the instrument.

"Louis, don't always stare at the vacuum tube like this, and please rest your eyes properly. This thing is very strong, and it won't be broken just because you blinked it, and it couldn't bear the pressure."

As soon as Chen Muwu finished speaking, he and de Broglie heard the sound of glass shattering at the same time, somewhat implying that they could not speak freely.

Chen Muwu was a little helpless, he just came up with an idea in the laboratory next door, and now he not only snatched Pauli's luck, but his luck as well?

In addition to the exclusion principle proposed by Pauli, there is also an effect named after him, the Pauli effect.

Although this effect is related to the experiment, it is not a conclusion drawn from a physical experiment, but more like a point of view in metaphysics.

Mr. Pauli may have a horoscope that is against the laboratory. Whenever he appears in the laboratory, those people who are doing experiments in the laboratory will always make some unexpected moths inexplicably.

If it is small, it may be caused by water cuts, power outages, and overexposure of photographic negatives. If it is large, it may even cause catastrophic events such as fires and explosions.

His greatest achievement is that he once visited Princeton University, and Princeton University burned down the only expensive cyclotron on the same day.

Many people even jokingly put a sign on the laboratory door, prohibiting Pauli from entering.

Hearing the sound of broken glass, Chen Muwu and De Broglie hurried forward to check, and even De Broglie ran faster than Chen Muwu.

In a place where the bending is a little weak, there are fragments and cracks on the diffraction tube. It seems that the strength of the glass here is not strong enough.

Chen Muwu regretted that he hadn't asked someone to blow out a few more diffraction tubes as spares. He had no choice but to find out the previous drawing with specific dimensions and send it to the glass workshop, asking the workers to help make a few more.

Chen Muwu, who didn't believe in evil, took advantage of the glass-blowing time of the workers, and ran around in front of other people's test benches in the open laboratory.

However, he didn't hear a single complaint about malfunctioning equipment, incorrect data, and so on.

This time, Chen Muwu finally confirmed that he did not want to publish a paper on the incompatibility principle, but at the same time he was tainted with Pauli's bad luck and became the disaster star of the laboratory in this time and space.

The rupture of the glass diffraction tube just now was purely an accidental accident.

　Say hello to everyone first.

　　Fortunately, it was not influenza A. I got up from bed and ran to the toilet several times in the middle of the night yesterday. It should be just a stomach flu and I have already taken medicine.

　　This is an old problem of mine, and I get it every three to five times when the season changes.

　　I'm a bit imaginary today, I was lazy, I only have [-] words, please forgive me.
