Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 256 204 Time-wasting lecture

The staff accompanying the Department of Physics of Lezugrad University had an uncomfortable expression on their faces.

But seeing Chen Muwu watching with gusto from the glass of the back door, Kapiza also moved his head towards him.

It was a little difficult for him to see the scene in the classroom clearly due to his height, and he even stood on tiptoe.

The siege and debate among the students was very intense. Even if he was from Sulian, Kapitsa could not do simultaneous interpretation.

Of course, there is no need to translate every Russian word into English in detail, because they are all young people, young and vigorous, and their arguments are mixed with a lot of swear words.

After listening for about ten seconds, Kapica began to relay the situation in the classroom to Chen Muwu:
"That sign on the blackboard says your theory of cosmic expansion is a hoax.

"Those who besieged the young man on the podium obviously supported this view, and it seems that most of the slogans on the blackboard were also written by them.

"Look carefully, the great guy on the podium is holding a blackboard eraser in his hand. According to my guess, he may want to erase the slogan, but when he was about to do it, he clashed with them.

"He is on your side, unfortunately, there is only one person who supports you.

"This is the current level of education in Sulian."

Kapitsa shrugged.

There's no need to underestimate yourself so presumptuously, Chen Muwu thought to himself.

"Ding--"

There was a crisp bell in the corridor.

"Come on, am I late?"

"Just prepare the bell, it's just right to walk into the classroom now."

Seeing Chen Muwu standing at the back door, he finally took steps again. The staff accompanying them quickly walked in ahead of them, and dispersed the students surrounding the podium, but then grabbed the young man holding the blackboard eraser. People, let him wipe the blackboard full of big characters before leaving.

Chen Muwu stood outside the door, pretending not to know anything.

After the writing on the blackboard was wiped clean and the chalk dust in the air fell to the ground, he walked in leisurely.

According to the original plan in the syllabus, under Kapitza's word-for-word translation, he finished the lecture without mentioning the expansion of the universe.

He couldn't change the decision he had made long ago because of the pranks of a few students, right?
Besides, Chen Muwu didn't plan to talk about these things, what he wanted to tell Su Lian's students this time was quantum mechanics.

Before departing from Cambridge University, he asked Dirac for a copy of their handouts and packed it in his carry-on luggage.

This can be regarded as a small test. Before this handout is officially put into use, it will be tested at the University of Lejugrad.

After finishing the lecture, Chen Muwu took his belongings and left the classroom.

It is impossible to let the distinguished guests who give lectures in the university be responsible for the specific question-and-answer work.

The Department of Physics randomly assigned a young teacher to do the job, but in today’s class, there was nothing to answer questions about. Chen Muwu just talked about the development history of modern atomic physics according to the script, from Old Thomson’s plum pudding model to Lu Serfo's solar system, and then Bohr.

Coincidentally, these people are still related to him.

Just because he slapped his ass and left after the lecture, didn't say a word of extraneous words, and didn't give him a chance to ask a question, it didn't mean that Chen Muwu was unkind.

He was just following the organizer's request, because after lunch today, he still had a whole afternoon in the auditorium to meet with the university students in Leograd, and he didn't talk about any substantive content, just simply answering questions, chat.

However, after leaving the classroom, Chen Muwu finally let go of the airs he had been holding for several hours, and said to Kapitsa impatiently: "Can you invite the young man who was standing on the podium just now for me? I want to share with him For lunch."

"No problem, just stand here and don't move, I'll go back to the classroom and call him out."

Inadvertently, Chen Muwu felt that he was taken advantage of by Kapica who left in a hurry.

He stood on the side of the corridor against the wall, waiting for Kapitsa to bring someone back.

Looking at the students coming and going, Chen Muwu unconsciously hummed another popular song: "In the garden late at night, everything is quiet..."

He thought this song was not bad, and if there was a farewell dinner after the lecture, Chen Muwu planned to sing such a song.

Uh, otherwise forget it.

"Evening on the outskirts of Moscow" has nothing to do with Leograd where I am now.

Just when he was idle and thinking about it, Kapitsa had gone and returned, followed by the young man who was standing on the podium before.

Compared with when we first met, he had an extra pair of glasses on his nose, probably to enable him to see the writing on the blackboard more clearly when listening to Chen Muwu's lecture.

"Hello, my name is Chen Muwu. Thank you for your ability to overcome all opinions and support my previous research."

He held out his hand with a smile on his face.

From meeting Kapitsa in the classroom and hearing that Chen Muwu called him to meet him and have lunch together, the young man felt a little flattered at that time.

He stretched out his hands excitedly, and held them tightly with Chen Muwu, and then said even more excitedly: "Hi, hello, Dr. Chen, I am Georgi Antonovich Gamow, you You can call me Georgi, or George, whatever."

The young man stumbled and spoke not-so-fluent English.

Георгий, the Russian name literally translated into Chinese, is Georgy.

Transliterated from Russian letters into English, it becomes Georgy.

Of course, it also has a homologous variant, that is, George, George, and the current King of England.

George Gamow, this is the person who unequivocally supported the "Big Bang Theory" and predicted the cosmic microwave background radiation in the original historical time and space.

No wonder he was able to defend the theory proposed by Chen Muwu on the podium before the lecture started.

At first, he thought this young man was his fan, but now he realized that he only supported the Big Bang theory. Of course, this theory should now be called the "Pangus Process".

Gamow was a student at the University of Leugrad?
This was a surprise that Chen Muwu never expected.

Gamow wanted to continue expressing his heartfelt excitement when he first met the post-00s young man who is now the most famous and accomplished in the world of physics.

But it was the time when classes were over, and the flow of people in the corridors of the University of Liejugrad was no less than that on the platform of the Liejugrad Railway Station.

Chen Muwu, like Yue Fei, felt that it was better to go to the cafeteria to eat first, and there was no need to block the traffic here.

Counting from the end of 1924, when Hubble bought an advertisement in the New York Times to promote his new discovery, and when Chen Muwu said in his speech at the Nobel Prize ceremony that the universe is not static but always expanding, to So far, less than two years have passed.

These hundreds of days may not seem short, but in this era of inconvenient transportation and slow communication, it is not a long time.

The change of thought in the human brain also takes time. Even in the face of evidence, Einstein has admitted that the cosmological constant he introduced in order to maintain the static state of the universe is a wrong move. The expansion of the universe seems more reasonable, but There are still many people in the world who still believe that the universe is static.

There are not a few teachers at Lezugrad University who still hold this view, and thus directly or indirectly affect the students who receive their education.

That's why there are thorny students who want to give Chen Muwu, who proposed the inflation theory, a lecture in the school, a blow.

But it's hard to say who is more thorny. From the perspective of Chen Muwu and Kapitsa, Gamow's behavior is a defense of the truth.

But from the perspective of teachers and classmates, Gamow is called not paying attention to lectures in class, and focusing on some fallacious theoretical knowledge.

Although Kapitsa is a native of St. Petersburg, the institution he graduated from is not St. Petersburg University, the predecessor of the Lugrad University, but St. Petersburg Institute of Technology, which is now renamed Kalinin Institute of Technology.

Not to mention Chen Muwu, a foreigner who came to visit. Neither of them knew where the cafeteria in the university was, so they could only follow Gamow and let him lead the way to the place where they often ate.

Regardless of the elegant and easy-going performance in front of Chen Muwu, Gamow can be regarded as a famous figure on the campus of Lugrad University, at least in the Department of Physics and Mathematics.

He and two good friends formed a small group of three called the "Physics Jazz Gang" on campus. They read poetry together every day, graffitied the school walls with physical symbols and formulas, and occasionally violated school rules and regulations. , to tease some other students, even including many senior seniors.

——Fortunately, they don't live in Japan and South Korea, the two places that pay the most attention to seniority and seniority.

Through this series of mischievous activities, the excess energy of these three young people was vented.

But the other purpose behind their unconventional and maverick behavior has not been realized. None of them have been able to attract the attention of the female students in the school. From enrollment to graduation, the three of them are still single good brothers.

Seeing Gamow restraining his instincts and entering the cafeteria, the other two of the Three Musketeers sitting at the table couldn't wait to greet him: "Johnny, we are here!"

Johnny, Gamow's "fairy name" in the small group, has long been resounding throughout the University of Leograd, and no one will feel that there is anything wrong with calling this name in the public.

But today, Gamow still felt that he was a little dead, after all, there were two guests from the school following behind him.

Chen Muwu, who had just arrived, didn't know what the Three Musketeers were in Lejugrad University, but he recognized the man who was sitting on the seat greeting Gamow.

Although he recognized it, he still had to act as if nothing had happened, and he couldn't show the slightest bit of excitement in his heart.

That obvious curly hair, and the face that hasn't changed much since childhood, who else could it be if it wasn't Landau?

He recognized Landau, but not Gamow, because Chen Muwu had not bought the popular science books written by Gamow, but he had bought the complete set of "Theoretical Physics Course".

Then he also has a roommate who does not ask the common people but asks the ghosts and gods. Before taking the C language test, he worshiped von Neumann on the computer screen, and before taking the theoretical physics test, he worshiped Landau.

There is really no place to hide when you step through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Chen Muwu thought that Landau was at Baku University on the shore of the Caspian Sea, but he didn't expect to meet him at the University of Leugrad today, and he was actually friends with Gamow.

"Your friends seem to be saying hello to you, how about we have lunch with them today?"

Although he was as excited as a Pokemon player who saw a wild golden Pokémon, Chen Muwu still suppressed his emotions and talked to Gamow as if nothing had happened, hoping that he would take him to Landau and the others. in front of a table.

Kapica translated Chen Muwu's words to the other party. Since he had already said so, Gamow had no reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the table to introduce his two good friends to Chen Muwu.

"Everyone, everyone, this is Dr. Chen Muwu who came to our school from Cambridge University to give lectures.

"Dr. Chen, this is my good friend, Dmitry Dmitrievich Ivanenko from Poltava, this is also my good friend, Lev Dar from Baku Vidovic Landau."

Generally speaking, if you introduce someone, you can end here.

But the penny-pinching Gamow was always a little upset because the two of them had called him a nickname just now, making him make a fool of himself in front of Chen Muwu and Kapitsa.

So Gamov switched to Russian again, and then asked the following sentence: "Demus, Dao, why didn't you two guys go to Dr. Chen's lecture today?"

Just like the Johnny just now, Dimus and Dao are the nicknames of Ivanenko and Landau respectively.

Chen Muwu couldn't understand Russian, so he thought it was a greeting between friends.

But Gamow forgot that Chen Muwu was still following Kapitsa, and he could understand what he was saying.

Kapitsa, who didn't know the inside story, had already made a judgment for the three young men in his heart.

The country and the university have worked so hard to invite such a powerful person as Chen Muwu from abroad to give them lectures, and I have also contributed a lot to it, but these two unlucky children have no respect for the fruits of other people's labor at all.

I don't know what they skipped the lecture for, to sleep late or to drink all night?
Gamow was a good boy, if not a little narrow-minded.

Even though Chen Muwu himself stood in front of him, the proud Lang Dao still didn't take it seriously.

What he said next was not something Kapitsa had to translate or not translate.

How about telling Chen Muwu that this is the few of them greeting each other in Russian?
"Why should I go? On the lecture list hung on the bulletin board of the department, the topics of the first lectures are all atomic models that have been eliminated. I knew this knowledge when I was in Baku. Why waste a year?" In the morning, how about listening again?"

After answering Gamow's question slowly, Landau stood up respectfully, wiped his clothes indiscriminately, and then stretched out his hand to Chen Muwu, and the words in his mouth switched from Russian to the same stumbling In English: "Hello, Dr. Chen, I'm Landau. I have read your papers, and my level is far beyond that of most physicists in the world. It's a great honor to meet you here."
