Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 377 116 Maybe you are wrong

Einstein raised his head suspiciously, but Chen Muwu still clearly saw anger in his eyes.

He knew very well what Einstein was thinking now. The old man must have thought that he and Dirac were in cahoots and had colluded long ago to embarrass him.

These two young men had no moral integrity and came to deceive and sneak attack Einstein, a forty-six-year-old comrade.

I just underestimated the enemy too much. I felt that Chen Muwu's roommate was much worse than Chen Muwu in quantum mechanics, so I didn't take it seriously at first.

Einstein felt that he was fully capable of silencing Dirac, a British lump, on several questions that he had designed in advance. It must be because he underestimated his opponent, so he lost in this competition with young people. Array is coming.

Including Chen Muwu saying that he was going to give Dirac a question, which made Einstein still feel that this was part of their plan.

However, he still asked with some expectation: "Dr. Chen, what questions do you want to ask?"

"That's right, professor, I remember that the winter in Germany is very cold. Winter is about to come after the Solvay Conference, and you have to return to Germany with the large army of German physicists. Before winter, what do you do? Are you ready? Maybe buying or knitting yourself a pair of warm gloves?"

Germany is the one with the highest latitude among the major countries in Europe.

Chen Muwu watched live football matches in his last life, and basically only the Bundesliga occasionally played football on snow-covered football fields in winter.

"Of course I have gloves, you don't have to worry about that. And not only do I have gloves, I also have coats, scarves, hats, and a whole set of warm clothing and equipment. But what do you think this has to do with quantum mechanics? Aren’t you going to ask a question to Dr. Dirac?”

Einstein not only couldn't figure out the uncertainty principle proposed by Chen Muwu in quantum mechanics, he couldn't even figure out what trouble Chen Muwu was trying to make when he suddenly asked about the gloves.

"Please be patient, Professor."

Chen Muwu stretched out the palm of his right hand and made a pressing motion, signaling Einstein, who had already suffered a double blow from both philosophy and physics in quantum mechanics today, not to get too excited.

As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa:

"You also know that this year's Nobel Prize in Physics once again went to the University of Cambridge, Dr. Zhao Zhongyao and Dr. Cockcroft who were doing research with me, and Professor Wilson in the Cavendish Laboratory. The three people shared the physics prize equally.

“It was already the end of October when the Solvay Conference was over, and I had to go to Stockholm to collect medals and bonuses in December.

“This year I received an invitation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden, and I will also go north to attend the awards ceremony.

“Sweden’s latitude is higher than that of Germany, so the measures required to keep warm should be more comprehensive and complete than what you need to do in Germany.

“I left Cambridge with only a change of clothes to last a week to ten days for this everyone’s conference.

“I have to go to Stockholm to attend the awards ceremony suddenly, so if I have time these days, I would like to go to the local shopping mall in Brussels to buy some winter equipment, which of course includes gloves.

"Then I thought of another thing:

"Gloves, like socks, often come in pairs. If you accidentally lose one, it will be very troublesome.

"If a person is wearing a pair of socks of different colors, the situation may be slightly better. After all, shoes are worn outside the socks, and few people will notice these details.

"And if a person wears a pair of gloves with different colors and materials on his hands, after being discovered by others, it is easy to leave the first impression on them, that is, this person is very sloppy and unkempt, and he can even wear gloves. Wrong or lost.

“In order to prevent this from happening, many glove manufacturers or family workshops will connect two gloves in a pair with a rope.

“Just adding such a part can make the gloves no longer easy to lose. Once you find one of them, you can follow the clues and find the other one along the rope.

“In other words, the rope sewn on the two gloves further connects the two gloves.

"Even if a person only needs to find one of the gloves and confirm that it is worn on the left hand, then he does not need to follow the rope to find the other glove to know the remaining glove. It should be worn on the right hand."

Chen Muwu chattered a lot, which made Einstein even more confused.

He came here to see Dr. Chen because he wanted to discuss physics issues with him, not to listen to him talk about household knowledge that had nothing to do with physics.

What the hell does this happen?

Could it be that the young people in front of us are about to get married, and the little daughter of Madame Curie’s family does not understand and cannot do housework, so Dr. Chen is forced to be exposed to these contents in advance?

Last year at the train station in Berlin, I had already advised him not to get married so early. Life should not be decided in his twenties.

But Dr. Chen just didn't listen to the old man's words. Is this okay?

The more energy he devoted to his housework, the less he devoted to studying physics.

Einstein felt that Chen Muwu might really like Madame Curie's little daughter, and he was determined to marry her.

In order to prevent such a physics genius from gradually declining in the housework, since he could not persuade Chen Muwu, he should also find an opportunity to persuade Madame Curie and tell her to educate her little daughter well when she goes back without delay. Dr. Chen has achieved more new results in physics.

Although Einstein did not like the quantum mechanics and uncertainty principle proposed by Chen Muwu, he still believed that Chen Muwu was a genius in physics.

As long as the erroneous and stubborn views in this genius's brain are corrected, he might be able to make more and better new discoveries in the future.

"Professor, professor, are you still listening?"

Chen Muwu didn't know what Einstein was thinking about, but he could tell that Einstein's mind was clearly not on his words.

"Ah, ah, of course, aren't they just gloves with strings? My gloves are also this kind. But I don't know what is the specific relationship between your gloves, quantum mechanics, and the question you want to ask Dr. Dirac. connect."

Want to contact?

Don't worry, I'll be here soon.

"It's because of the characteristics of the gloves I just mentioned. As long as you can determine whether a glove is left or right-handed, you don't need to follow the rope to find the other glove, but you can directly determine its attributes.

"So one day I suddenly had the idea to apply this feature to quantum mechanics. "The uncertainty principle I proposed in quantum mechanics means that the position and momentum of a particle cannot be determined at the same time. "

Seeing Einstein opening his mouth to speak again, Chen Muwu quickly stopped him:

"Professor, please don't get excited. I know you are opposed to this principle, but please let me finish my words first.

"For a particle, the position and momentum cannot be determined at the same time. But what if the particles are changed from one to two like a glove, and a 'string' is tied between them?

“In quantum mechanics, we can easily construct a two-particle system that interacts with each other. For example, the position difference and momentum sum of two particles A and B can be determined simultaneously.

"Then we need to measure this pair of particles twice. The first measurement only measures the momentum p of particle A. Then even if we don't measure particle B, we can still know that its momentum is -p.

“In the second measurement, only the position of particle A is measured, and then the position of particle B can be easily determined.

"The hypothesis I proposed shouldn't be difficult to understand, right?"

Einstein was still thinking about asking Madam Curie to educate their little daughter, but since Chen Muwu returned to physics, Einstein instantly switched to a thinking state.

As Chen Muwu described it, he thought along Chen Muwu's train of thought.

After the other party asked, Einstein immediately nodded in response:

"There is nothing unreasonable about this. It is nothing more than extending your explanation of quantum mechanics to the case of two particles. Just like the gloves you said are connected by a rope, once one of them is measured, the other particle will The status will be determined immediately.”

"Well, that's true. It's just that this dual system has a fatal problem, and it is very likely that an irreconcilable contradiction will arise. This is the question I just said I wanted to give Dr. Dirac."

After hearing "irreconcilable" first and then "title", Einstein immediately made the nerves in his brain highly tense.

I have prepared so many questions in the past year just to deny the correctness of quantum mechanics.

Although some factors of one kind or another were not considered in each question, allowing the other party to answer it easily, Einstein's confidence in denying quantum mechanics remains unchanged.

He suddenly heard such a set of rhetoric appearing in Chen Muwu's words. Could it be that he discovered his own loopholes and was about to overthrow quantum mechanics?

Thinking of this, Einstein suddenly became very excited.

"What kind of irreconcilable contradiction? Dr. Chen, tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"

Chen Muwu smiled and said: "This is very simple. I think if you think carefully, you may also get this contradiction soon."

“This kind of ‘measurement’ in quantum mechanics triggers the instantaneous transmission of information.

“Because no matter how far apart two particles are, the determination of the state of one instance can affect the state of the other particle.

“Doesn’t this mean that the information between the two particles is ‘propagating’ at a speed exceeding the speed of light?

“And one of the two basic principles you proposed in the theory of relativity is the ‘principle of the constant speed of light’.

"Isn't the contradiction between the two obvious?"

clap clap clap...

There was a sudden burst of applause in the small room with three people.

"Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!"

Einstein applauded and shouted excitedly.

"The super-light speed of information transmission occurs between the two particle systems you mentioned. It is simply like a ghost manipulating the action at a distance. It is unreasonable!

"Chen, Dr. Chen, Dr. Chen Muwu! Thank God that he allowed you to finally realize the error of quantum mechanics after taking many detours and suffering a lot! Hallelujah!

"I understand, whether you go to that Wittgenstein or this Dr. Dirac, and you ask them to discuss quantum mechanics with me in philosophy and physics, it's just paving the way for tonight's showdown.

"Actually, you want to give me a surprise, right?

"I know you are still young. Young people are inevitably arrogant and unwilling to admit their mistakes.

“But you finally chose to tell me about it, so that’s good, that’s great!

"From now on, you should stop studying your quantum mechanics. Instead, look at the universe. Join me to solve the ultimate mystery of the universe for physicists and all mankind, and find a way to combine gravity and electromagnetism. way to combine them together.

"Chen, I know you have this ability! I know!"

After hearing this question raised by Chen Muwu, Einstein was so excited that he began to speak incoherently.

He was busy thinking along the questions raised by Chen Muwu, but he did not notice that Chen Muwu's initial speech was to ask a question to Dirac, but he used German throughout.

For Dirac, who could only read and write German using a dictionary but could not speak German, he struggled to understand the question Chen Muwu had just raised.

Before Dirac fully understood the contradiction in the problem, he saw Einstein yelling from the side.

In contrast, Dr. Chen, who was sitting firmly in the military tent, was calm and relaxed, and was not infected by the old and crazy Einstein around him.

He couldn't react to what was going on at the scene, so he just kept silent and watched what happened.

When Einstein finally regained his composure and looked forward to the answer from the young man opposite him, Chen Muwucai said slowly and with a smile on his face: "Professor Einstein, unify gravity and electromagnetism. Things are certainly interesting.

“But I think it’s better that we talk about it later, after all, what we are talking about now is quantum mechanics.

"In my problem description just now, I just said that there is an 'irreconcilable contradiction' between the information transmission between pairs of particles exceeding the speed of light and the principle of the invariance of the speed of light in the theory of relativity. I did not specifically point out that between the two of them, Who is right and who is wrong.

"But why do you assume that quantum mechanics is wrong and relativity is right?"
