Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 120 68 New Names for Matter Waves

Say Einstein, and Einstein will come to your door.

In addition to Bohr and Heisenberg, Chen Muwu also sent a letter from Berlin while he was away from the competition.

Since he returned to Germany after receiving the award from Sweden last summer and re-established contact with Chen Muwu, the communication between the two has never stopped.

Obviously this time, Einstein should have met Langevin and de Broglie in Berlin, and also received the letter sent to him by Chen Muwutuo.

In the letter, Einstein praised his Chinese genius again.

Einstein saw the paper published by Chen Muwu, which verified the volatility of electrons by electron diffraction, and also praised his view that all substances have volatility.

Einstein also said in the letter that he recently calculated and analyzed the quantum ideal gas according to the new statistical method proposed by Chen Muwu, and found that the pressure of this quantum ideal gas also comes from two components, namely are particles and waves.

He intends to publish this paper, which to a certain extent can also explain the self-consistency between the two theories of Chen Statistics and Chen Bo.

Chen Muwu always felt that Einstein's title in the letter was a bit strange.

Uh, the English name "Chen Wave" is not a problem.

But after it was translated into Chinese as "Chen Bo", Chen Muwu always felt that there was something wrong with this word.

After he gets his doctorate, he must not be called "Chen Bo".

When I find an opportunity in the future, I must clarify to the physics community that there is no problem in naming other experiments and theories developed by Chen Muwu with his surname "Chen".

It’s just this matter wave, let’s call it “Matter Wave” honestly, don’t call it Laoshizi Chen Bo!
Einstein also said in the letter that Langevin relayed to him the fourth quantum number of the atomic model published by Chen Muwu at the Solvay Conference, as well as the related theory of electron spin, and he also heard about the theory of his and Luo Between Lenz, there were some debates about whether the electron spin would violate the theory of relativity.

It is true that he proposed that the classical theory plus the theory of relativity can solve the problem of spin, but he always felt that it was strange to use this method. Perhaps, the spin of electrons does not really rotate like the earth.

In the end, Einstein comforted Chen Muwu that it doesn't matter if he failed to meet in Germany this time, after all, graduation is his top priority now, and there will still be time to meet each other in the future, so this time is not too bad.

Einstein's letter is really long enough, after the last, there is a PS.

He said that the new acquaintance who came with Langevin, Duke de Broglie (Maurice)'s younger brother Louis, was also a very interesting person.

Chen Muwu said in his heart, De Broglie is more than interesting, he will be the vanguard of your old favorite in the future.

If the talented Copenhagen School is compared to Cao Wei, then Einstein is Shu Han, all supported by the love of the prime minister.

He has only two people who can still be called famous, one is Schrödinger, and the other is de Broglie.

Einstein continued in the letter, these days Louis often praised Chen Muwu in front of him for how smart you are, and also taught him how to play mahjong.

This brain game from China is really interesting!

……

In addition to letters from the two old and one new physicists, Chen Muwu also received a large envelope from the organizer of the Solvay conference.

The envelope contained the big group photo of this Solvay meeting, as well as the group photos that Chen Muwu hired another photographer to help him take with other people, and the group photo with Ive with the big tree as the background.

After Chen Muwu took out the photos and browsed them one by one, he put them in an envelope and prepared to take them back to Mrs. Brown's house, and put them together with the group photo of the Cavendish Laboratory last fall.

……

A chatterbox from the Cavendish Laboratory, a nerd from the Department of Mathematics, and a gourmet from the Department of English Literature, these three irrelevant people can get together because Chen Muwu is the bond among them.

After attending Ye Gongchao's master's thesis defense meeting at Magdalen College, the four of them got together again for a meal.

Ye Gongchao had decided to leave England for France, and Chen Muwu suddenly thought of a certain line in a certain song "Xintianyou", the one called Baihuahua, the one named Shui Lingling, such a good place can't keep you.

But he thought about it again, Cambridge University is indeed not a good place, basically there are either bald men or men who are not bald.

And the title of "Romantic Capital" in Paris has long been resounding all over the world.

Ye Gongchao has passed his 20th birthday this year, and he has reached the age of "having a man with a spring".

It is understandable that he wants to leave the monk temple in Cambridge and take a look at the colorful world outside.

It's just that the key to this delicious and delicious Chinese food is that you don't have to cook it yourself, and now you can eat one less meal.

A few days ago, the publishing house sent a sample book, and they wrote down Chen Muwu's name in the column of the author on the cover on their own initiative.

Chen Muwu just came up with an idea and put forward a lot of revisions for the manuscript. Most of the rest of the writing work was written by Ye Gongchao.

Moreover, this gentleman is not as used to a typewriter as Chen Muwu. All the manuscripts are written letter by letter on the manuscript paper.

He revised it several times back and forth, and finally copied it cleanly again. The workload is really quite a lot.

Chen Muwu really couldn't bear to erase other people's labor achievements like this.

So he took the opportunity of dinner and asked Ye Gongchao with a sample book: "Gongchao, what name should the author of this book use?"

Ye Gongchao thought for a while and said, "Brother Hanchen, why don't you name the protagonist in the book George Chen, you and I each come up with a name. My surname is Ye, and it starts with Y, so I will name it as 'York'." .”

"Then I'll just say 'Chandler,' and this Chandler Yorke will be our pseudonym, how about that?"

The Chandler selected by Chen Muwu is not from the TV series "Friends", but from one of his favorite mystery writers, Raymond Chandler.

"That would be great." Ye Gongchao also liked the name very much.

When Chen Muwu put down the book and planned to continue eating, this "Murder on the Paris Express" naturally couldn't escape Kapiza's clutches.

"Chen, did you write this book? Look, it does have your name on it. But, what kind of publishing house is Penguin Press? Why have I never heard of it before? My God, this is still A novel!"

At first, Chen Muwu wanted to propose calling the publishing house Panda Publishing House.

But then he searched for information and found that few Westerners have ever seen a live panda.

If the panda is named now, Chen Muwu is afraid that more poachers will sneak into the hinterland of China to hunt this rare animal on a large scale.

So in the end, the name that the publishing house finalized was Penguin.

Just after reading the beginning, Kapitsa was completely attracted by the content of the book.

Because the journey of the protagonist Chen Qiaozhi in the book is exactly the story that happened on the way from his own country to Europe by train, which resonated with him very strongly.

In fact, when Chen Muwu and Ye Gongchao were writing the book, they also inquired about a lot of things with Kapiza, but he didn't realize it at the time.

Kapi checked the novel with relish, Ye Gongchao also left the table, and ran to the kitchen to see if the soup in the pot was ready.

At this time, Chen Muwu turned his attention to Dirac who had been taciturn since eating.

"Paul," after being familiar with everyone, especially after Kapitza got involved, Chen Muwu could finally no longer call him Mr. Dirac, but could call him by his first name directly.

"What have you been up to recently? I have a small topic here, do you want to try it?"

With the "help" of his mentor Fowler and his roommate Chen Muwu, Dirac's research direction was finally pulled from the theory of relativity to the microscopic level inside the nucleus.

In this world, there is now one more person who is sad because students are being snatched away by emerging disciplines.

Oh, it turns out that this person is still Eddington, so it's all right.

The number of people who are sad has not increased, and the world remains the same as before.

Chen Muwu's so-called small problem is the problem that the g factor mentioned in Heisenberg's letter a few days ago should be 2.

Compared with other physicists who are more experimental, Dirac, who was born in the Department of Mathematics, has a solid theoretical foundation. Maybe he can really use the theory of relativity to find a solution to the factor 2 problem.

And the reason why Chen Muwu suddenly asked Dirac to try this question was to make up for the feeling of indebtedness in his heart.

That's right, although the final defense of the doctoral thesis will not be held until three or four days later, but now, Chen Muwu has already begun to figure out what to write in the next thesis.

This time he intends to complete all his achievements, publish three wave equations in one go, and write a paper that is dozens of pages long.

Of course, one of these three wave equations is the Dirac equation derived by Dirac in 1928.

After traveling for more than a year, several experiments were done and several theories were published, but Chen Muwu never made a move on his good brothers.

But this time, if he wanted to thoroughly establish quantum mechanics, then the Dirac equation was in front of Chen Muwu, a hurdle that he couldn't get around no matter what.

That's why he felt a little sorry for his good brother, and wondered if he could compensate Dirac in other ways.

After listening to Chen Muwu's description, Dirac was indeed attracted.

Because whether it is the theory of relativity or the electrons outside the nucleus, he is very interested in the content.

But after thinking about it for a while, he said with some embarrassment: "Chen, I may not have much time to think about your question now, because the final exam is coming soon, and I may have to devote myself to reviewing for the next period of time." .

"But don't worry, after the exam is over, I will ask you for information immediately, to see if I can use the theory of relativity to solve the problem you raised."

"no problem."

This problem, and the solution to this problem under the classical framework, have already been told by Chen Muwu to Heisenberg in Germany and Dirac who is close by.

Now we have to see, these two people of the same age whose birthdays are only half a year apart, who will solve this problem earlier and become the smarter of the two smart people.
