Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 280 19 Einstein was very excited

After taking the photos, the three people left the hotel and headed to the University of Berlin.

Einstein, who was leading the way, was always unhappy on his face and in his heart.

Listening to Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer chatting about camera issues behind him, he recalled the first time he met Chen Muwu on New Year's Day in 1923 in Baihai.

At the beginning, in Einstein's mind, the lecture given by the Ministry of Industry was no different from the many lectures he had given in Europe, the United States, and Japan.

On those occasions, even if you don't prepare the content of your speech carefully, you just stand on the stage and talk nonsense, the arty people in the audience who don't understand the theory of relativity at all, just to have bragging rights after returning home, The audience will also give him warm applause.

It can be said that the last question Chen Muwu stood up to ask in the Auditorium of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the Baihai Public Settlement was the most professional question asked by Einstein among the many lectures he had given in history, and it was also the question that surprised him the most.

For this reason, Einstein did not hesitate to let the organizers disrupt the plan and stayed on stage for more than half an hour to discuss with Chen Muwu the solution to the gravitational field equation.

After the day's discussion was forced to end, Chatterley, an engineer from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, invited Chen Muwu, who stood out in the lecture, to join them in a banquet prepared for Einstein.

Even if you don't want to get to know Einstein, you can still get to know various prominent figures in the public concession. If a person wants to get a high position, he will never miss this kind of God-given opportunity.

But Chen Muwu refused this matter. It seemed that this young man who was dedicated to learning just wanted to discuss some physics problems with himself.

However, three years, just over three years later, that simple young man who liked to discuss physics problems and had no other distracting thoughts in his mind has disappeared!
Chen Muwu has been immersed in Europe, especially the UK, for more than three years. The purity of this Chinese genius has been eroded away by that hypocritical society, leaving only tact and sophistication in his whole person.

What’s good about the Department of Physics at the University of Berlin?

Does he need to have a good relationship with those strangers?

As long as you achieve enough academic achievements and gain high enough reputation and status in the academic world, they will rush over to curry favor with you!
Chen Muwu, Chen Muwu, you are so confused!
Einstein regretted it more and more. He felt that the telegram he sent to Eddington and sent Chen Muwu to Cambridge University in England was the biggest mistake he had made in recent years.

This mistake is even more serious than introducing the cosmological constant term into the gravitational field equation.

If Chen Muwu had gone to Germany instead of the old capitalist power, the luxuriant UK, he might have learned a little less tact and sophistication.

After all, the Germans couldn't even afford bread at that time, so how could they have any other thoughts to buy something that was not available?

But Einstein may not have thought that Germany's economic crisis is only aimed at Germans who make money in Germany and spend money in Germany.

The mark has depreciated, but other currencies in the world have not depreciated. The exchange rates between them and the mark can even rise with the economic crisis in Germany.

Foreign students like Chen Muwu, who has a lot of money, can still live a happy life in Germany.

If he is the kind of playboy who has fun and is unrestrained, he might be able to leave Chinese seeds in the bellies of several German girls before the economic crisis ends.

Thinking of Chen Muwu's regret of not being able to study in Germany, Einstein began to complain about Planck, who he had originally entrusted with this matter.

If he had immediately sent a reply to Chen Muwu after receiving his telegram and invited him to study abroad at the University of Berlin, then Chen Muwu would not have become such a philistine as he is now.

He didn't even have to read his travel information in the newspaper and hurried to the train station to intercept Chen Muwu and return to Berlin.

And if Chen Muwu was a student and professor at the University of Berlin, wouldn't he discuss issues with him whenever he wanted?
Before he arrived at the Department of Physics at the University of Berlin, Einstein already deeply resented the old dean of the Department of Physics.

Planck, who was waiting to welcome Chen Muwu in the office, sneezed twice inexplicably.

The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool. It seems it is time to add two layers of clothes to yourself.

I am about to retire, and I want to enjoy a few more years of leisure, but I can't let myself get into trouble before I retire just because I am not careful.

Einstein brought Chen Muwu to the campus of the University of Berlin and then to Planck's office.

Oppenheimer also wanted to follow him in, but was pulled back by Einstein.

Although he didn't say a word, his meaning was very clear. The person Planck wanted to meet was Chen Muwu. You, a doctoral student who is following Dr. Chen to write papers and improve results, would you like to join in the fun if you followed him.

Of course, Einstein's decision to keep him had another meaning.

"Mr. Oppenheimer, I heard from Dr. Chen that you also know the theory of relativity very well. I would like to hear your views on the unified field theory."

Since yesterday morning, when he and Chen Muwu were discussing related unified theory issues in the hotel, Oppenheimer has been writing and drawing with a notebook and pen beside him. It seems that he is also extremely enthusiastic about this matter.

During the chat, I learned that Oppenheimer had been studying and working with Chen Muwu for more than two years.

As long as he can learn some superficial knowledge from Chen Muwu, he might be able to talk about the theory of relativity and the unified field with himself.

Not to mention that Einstein brought Oppenheimer to his office. More than three years later, Chen Muwu finally met Planck, who had been close to him for a long time, in this office at the University of Berlin.

It’s not the first time he met Planck. After all, in textbooks and on the Internet, you can see many elegant photos of Planck when he was a little boy, as well as raunchy photos of Planck in his later years after he became a professor.

I entered his office today and met this master of physics for the first time. His appearance was exactly the same as the photo printed in the book.

As for Planck, the owner of the office, this was his first real meeting with Chen Muwu.

He was not too surprised when he saw an unfamiliar East Asian man walking into his office.

Because there were many East Asians studying at the University of Berlin, Planck also had students from China, or the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing that this man was carrying beautifully packaged things in his hands, and his appearance was similar to the photos he often saw in newspapers, Plank immediately realized that this was not a school student who walked into the wrong door by mistake, but This is the distinguished guest he has been waiting for today.

Except for Pauli, who didn't like reading newspapers very much, most people at the University of Berlin had read about what Chen Muwu encountered in Poland from the newspapers.

Even if you are a world-famous physicist, when a scholar encounters a soldier, you will not be able to explain why.

Everyone regards this matter as a piece of fun, a kind of entertainment and entertainment outside of daily life.

Even Planck did not expect that Einstein's mobility would become so high. He read the news in the newspaper the first night and kidnapped Chen Muwu from the train station back to Berlin the next morning.

He heard about Chen Muwu in Berlin from the two physics department employees who went to dinner with Pauli, and then contacted Einstein overnight and expressed his desire to invite Dr. Chen to come to the University of Berlin for physics. The desire to turn around.

"Professor Planck, after so many years, I finally meet you today. I am Chen Muwu." "Dr. Chen, welcome! I have long heard your name mentioned by Xia Yuanzhen, Einstein, Bohr and others. , we finally met today.”

Chen Muwu took a few steps forward, and Plank quickly stood up from his seat and stretched out his hand.

After a long handshake, Chen Muwu handed over the gift in his hand: "Professor, you are so complimentary. These are two bags of tea from my hometown in China. They are a little thought from me. Please accept them."

The old man just accepted the gift with a token politeness, without showing much surprise on his face.

People in most European countries like coffee as their favorite caffeinated beverage. Only the two island countries of the British Isles, the United Kingdom and Ireland, are truly passionate about tea.

A large part of Chen Muwu's luggage was tea to be taken back to England.

Unlike the British habit of loving black tea, those around Chen Muwu at Cambridge University have gradually turned to green tea and oolong tea.

In particular, the Cambridge Apostolic Society, which is full of young men, has even launched a retro movement, resolutely resisting second-generation behaviors such as adding milk and sugar cubes to black tea, and instead follows the drinking method of China, the birthplace of tea, and only uses Just brew with boiling water.

Seeing how aggressive they were, Chen Muwu was really lucky that he didn't introduce them to the more complicated and complicated way of drinking tea in ancient China.

He also has an unrealistic idea, that is, if one day he encounters a bottleneck in physics, he will open a milk tea shop around Cambridgeshire and promote this drink to the whole UK like mahjong. Can make some money.

Planck put the tea leaves back on his desk and invited Chen Muwu to sit on the sofa in the office.

Unlike Einstein, Planck, who was about to retire, had long since said goodbye to front-line physics research.

His current focus is entirely on the management of the Department of Physics at the University of Berlin, and on reviewing and checking submissions for the "Annals of Physics".

The frequent exchanges between Planck and Chen Muwu were also based on the manuscripts Chen Muwu sent to Planck.

At the beginning, Chen Muwu sent the first paper to the "Annals of Physics" in Sihai. Planck only agreed to publish it because of Einstein's telegram.

Planck followed the good advice, but only half of it. He published Chen Muwu's paper, but failed to invite Chen Muwu to study abroad at the University of Berlin.

Later, as more and more of Chen Muwu's papers were published in the "Annals of Physics" and he made more and more achievements in physics, Planck realized that he had missed a person who could improve the level of physics at the University of Berlin. His genius was given to the British in vain.

It only took Chen Muwu one year to get his doctorate from Cambridge University.

Moreover, he was doing very well in experiments and research there. Even if he was poaching, he probably wouldn't be able to dig up this jade Ganoderma without a golden hoe.

The only remedy that Planck thought of was to ask Chen Muwuduo to publish an article in the "Annals of Physics" to help it gain an advantage in the confrontation with the emerging "Journal of Physics".

Planck, who had been editor-in-chief for many years, did not want to see this old German physics journal destroyed in his own hands.

So after greeting each other, Chen Muwu and Planck fell into a polite loop: the former expressed his admiration for his predecessors in physics, while the latter expressed his gratitude to the former for sending so many papers.

After finally getting to the next topic, Planck began to invite Chen Muwu again, hoping that he could stay in the Department of Physics of the University of Berlin.

"Dr. Chen, when you entered my office today, even before you introduced yourself, I knew it was you. And the first time I saw you, I actually had an illusion, that is, You came today not only to say hello to me, but also to pick up my class and help me carry on my career in this school. How about the position of head of the physics department?" As he spoke, Planck He turned around and patted the back of the chair behind him heavily with his hand, "I still keep it for you until now."

Well, forget it then.

Chen Muwu dared to agree to Planck's invitation this morning, and Pauli dared to bring his sword to him for a duel this afternoon.

Moreover, this position is not very attractive to me. In the future, racism in Germany will only become more and more serious. As a foreigner, Chen Muwu cannot enjoy the unlimited scenery sitting in this position. He can only be in fear every day. In the end, Escaped from Germany in despair.

Why bother?
Foresighted Jews like Pauli, Einstein and Born all found their own escape routes in advance.

Although the old Planck was an authentic German and a German who loved Germany very much, although he could legitimately stay in Germany, he became the worst one.

Loyalty is not absolute, which means absolute disloyalty.

Because of his sympathy for Jewish physicists and scientists in Germany, Planck became the target of criticism from racists who claimed to build Aryan physics. They claimed that he was a "white-skinned Jew" and publicly questioned him. Is his famous masterpiece, the thermal radiation formula that first proposed the quantum concept, plagiarized from other people's work?

On the one hand, as a representative figure in the German physics community, Planck was held high on the altar like a mascot.

On the other hand, there were many young people below the altar who criticized and abused him openly or covertly.

During the war, Planck, who had long since retired, maintained this dire straits.

At the age of 86, he witnessed his beloved motherland fail in the war for the second time.

Although it was Planck's misfortune to stay in Germany, it was also his fate.

Even if Chen Muwu invites him to Stockholm in the future, it is estimated that Planck will never leave Germany.

He had various opportunities to leave long ago, but he still stayed without hesitation and stayed with his motherland.

Looking at the cheerful old man in front of him and looking forward to a leisurely life after retirement, Chen Muwu really couldn't bear to think about all the torture that Planck would have to face in his future life.

After visiting Planck, Chen Muwu followed the old man to visit the Department of Physics of the University of Berlin. He told him that a certain laboratory used to be where Kirchhoff worked, and in a certain office, he met Kirchhoff for the first time. to Helmholtz.

Planck also had a happy expression on his face, just like the old Thomson did when he recalled Lord Kelvin and Baron Rayleigh III.

But no one wants to believe that happy times always pass by in a hurry, and there will be more suffering in the future.

After doing all this, Chen Muwu, accompanied by Planck, had lunch at the University of Berlin.

Einstein and Oppenheimer also sat together, wondering what they had done during the morning of their visit.

Judging from the expressions on their faces, they seem to get along well?
At the dinner table, Planck proposed that Chen Muwu give an impromptu lecture to the students of the University of Berlin in the Department of Physics this afternoon.

The person involved has not expressed his position yet, but Einstein sitting next to him excitedly expressed his strong opposition.

"No, absolutely not! Dr. Chen has made an appointment with me this afternoon, right, Dr. Chen?"
