Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 427 166 Bohr and Einstein

Chen Muwu didn't think much of Hubble's sudden praise, but it made Oppenheimer think that his fellow astronomer was very good.

If you can't do scientific research by following those idiots in the United States, you must come to the UK to join Chen Muwu, the beacon of science.

As Hubble said, even if all the largest astronomical telescopes in the world are in the United States, so what?

Americans still have not been able to discover the Huangdi star like Dr. Chen, using the nearly a century-old astronomical telescope at Cambridge University.

Oppenheimer felt that even with the first telescope developed by Galileo a few centuries ago, Chen Muwu could still discover the outermost planet in the solar system.

Of course, this was just a delusion because he didn't know much about astronomy. Whether it was Galileo's refracting telescope or Lord Niu's reflecting telescope, if the aperture was not enough, stars with low visibility would never be found.

The astronomical telescope of Cambridge University is always a little old, but the aperture is just right on the edge where Huangdi's star can be discovered.

Chen Muwu and Hubo each said a few more words of courtesy before leaving the first house.

Perhaps because of Oppenheimer, the time he stayed in this house was much longer than he expected.

Except for these two American guests, most of the other guests who came to Chen Muwu's wedding were from Europe.

Chen Muwu saw the telegram at home confirming the list of people attending the wedding, and he saw Einstein's name.

He believed that he had temporarily shelved the issue with Professor Einstein before, so he would not have a dispute with him this time over whether quantum mechanics was right or wrong.

But when he knocked on the door of a certain room again, he found that Einstein, with disheveled hair and beard, was still having academic arguments with others about quantum mechanics.

Fortunately, after seeing another person arguing with Einstein, Chen Muwu breathed a sigh of relief.

Because living in the same house as Einstein was his good teacher Professor Bohr.

Chen Muwu originally thought that he would replace Bohr and his Copenhagen School in his lifetime and argue with Einstein about whether quantum mechanics is right or wrong.

Unexpectedly, these two people are now discussing this issue again. I can only say that this is the will of God.

When they heard someone calling the door, whether it was Einstein or Bohr, they thought it was the hotel staff, so they just answered and continued to argue. No one paid attention to it.

But when they saw Chen Muwu walking in, they immediately stopped arguing.

Chen Muwu's senior brother Boer teased and joked to the groom-to-be, Guan'er, who was about to get married: "Hey, look who's here? It's not someone who's getting married soon. The expression on his face is different from before. !”

Einstein did not agree with this view of his good friend, just as he did not agree with the quantum mechanics supported by Bohr: "Niels, you are wrong. Dr. Chen clearly did this because he discovered neutrons and positrons." Just happy.

"I've also heard about the story about a bet of eight thousand pounds between him and the junior named Pauli. Eight thousand pounds is what a professor earns for four or five years, and he got it so easily. If you exchange it for you Aren't you happy?"

Regarding the smile on Chen Muwu's face, the two men each made completely different judgments.

This is also related to the life experiences of the two of them.

Bohr was a happily married man and a good family man.

His whole life has been smooth sailing. He first received a doctorate in science from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, then went to the UK to study with Rutherford, won the Nobel Prize, built the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen, and then started Branches spread leaves, cultivating young physics talents in Denmark and even Europe.

During this period, he also married his lover and gave birth to several lovely children.

Promotion, salary increase, becoming CEO, marrying Bai Fumei...

Wang Dachui's unrealistic dreams were realized one by one with him.

In contrast, although Einstein was also successful in his career, he really couldn't compare to Bohr emotionally.

After leaving Mileva, he finally chose to marry his cousin, not because Einstein thought he had found the true love of his life, but because this cousin, whose appearance and status were not outstanding, wanted to marry Einstein. After being together for a long time, she turned a blind eye to the fact that he flirted with other women and tolerated him messing around with others.

So as early as when Chen Muwu returned to Europe after returning to China and was "robbed" by Einstein on the platform of the Berlin train station, Einstein had warned Chen Muwu not to fall in love so early. The most important thing is to do a good job in your own career first.

Therefore, when faced with the smile on Chen Muwu's face, the two of them gave different explanations.

Hearing Einstein suddenly mention the academic discoveries made by Chen Muwu in the first half of this year, Bohr also smiled and echoed: "Dr. Chen, it seems that we will nominate you for another Nobel Prize in Physics next year. .

"I guess it's not just us, but every physicist in the world who is not blind will put your name on the vote they nominated.

"I never expected that the first person in the world to win the Nobel Prize in Physics twice would be a young man like you.

"And there was only five years between the two awards. You know, Marie Curie, who will soon become your mother-in-law, had nearly ten years between her two awards.

"And those two awards were one for physics and one for chemistry. They are completely incomparable to you."

After listening to Bohr's words, Einstein immediately jumped out to point out the shortcomings in his words: "Do you think, Chen can't win the chemistry prize? I also saw the "Journal of Prince's College" he sent me, that In addition to the discovery of neutrons and positrons, two chemical elements were also discovered above. I asked professors at the University of Berlin who specialize in the discovery of chemical elements. According to them, these two chemical elements were found by chemists in dozens of The chemical element that had not been found for years was easily found by Chen Muwu.

“If chemists all over the world and the people at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences were not fools, they should also award next year’s Chemistry Prize to Dr. Chen!

"By that time, Chen Muwu will not only be the youngest scientist to win two physics prizes, but also the only person to win both the physics prize and the chemistry prize in the same session.

As he spoke, Einstein sighed again: "Unfortunately, I have also read the 'George Chen' series of detective novels. Those novels are very story-telling, but slightly lacking in literary quality. Chen should not be able to He won a literary award for these works.

He turned to look at Chen Muwu, frowning and worried: "Dr. Chen, literary awards are optional. You must not give up your research and study of physics just to win a mere literary award. Pursue!" Before the groom made a statement, Einstein and Bohr had already thought of the future for Chen Muwu Chang.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears today, Chen Muwu would never have thought that Einstein was already considering whether he could win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

If it is true as Einstein said, after Chen Muwu won the Literature Prize, would he also have to win the remaining awards to be successful?

Prize in Physiology or Medicine for determining the double helix structure of DNA using X-ray diffraction.

What about the Peace Prize?

If we then use atomic bombs to bomb all these islands to pieces, and then make a few hypocritical appeals, humans cannot use atomic bombs, weapons of mass destruction that may lead to the destruction of a country, and must love peace. I don’t know. Will those people in the Norwegian Parliament award the Nobel Peace Prize to themselves after the war is over?

As for the Economics Prize, which was only established in 1969...

Forget it, just because Einstein mentioned this issue in a joke, you can't take him seriously.

It is basically impossible for one person to win all the Nobel Prizes.

Looking at Chen Muwu who was deep in thought, Einstein laughed like an annoying little old man again: "Niels, did you see that I just made a few random remarks, but I didn't expect that." Chen actually takes it seriously! Dr. Chen, have you thought about your next literary work?"

After being teased by Einstein, Chen Muwu did not blush at all.

He tried to defend himself: "Professor Einstein, what I am thinking about is not something unrealistic. I am just hesitant about how I will face the future if I win another physics prize." Where is my teacher Sir Rutherford?"

Failure to win the Nobel Prize in Physics was Rutherford's lifelong regret.

Physicists in the world know this. While they feel sorry for Rutherford's experience, they also think that the Nobel Prize jury is really ridiculous.

Bohr showed that he knew his teacher very well: "Dr. Chen, don't worry, the teacher is definitely not the kind of person who cares about everything. He will definitely be sincerely happy to cultivate an outstanding talent like you. of!"

Chen Muwu was just making a joke. Unexpectedly, Nordic people have become a little humorless because they have been exposed to freezing weather all year round.

In this room, Chen Muwu just chatted about the Nobel Prize, then got up and left.

There were many guests waiting for him to visit, and he really couldn't stay in a certain room for too long.

Einstein still kept his previous promise and did not seize every possible opportunity to discuss issues related to quantum mechanics with Chen Muwu as before.

Perhaps after several discussions, he already knew that Chen Muwu was not interested in discussing the issue.

Or perhaps he believed that Bohr could better find a breakthrough in the problem than Chen Muwu, a copper pea that was neither cooked nor chewed.

After leaving the room with Einstein and Bohr, Chen Muwu met another person like Oppenheimer who wanted to apply for a job at the Prince's College in Stockholm.

After opening the door, he saw that the person who walked into his room was Chen Muwu. Fermi immediately stood up from his seat: "Dr. Chen! If I had known that you were going to Bologna to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, I would certainly not have come so early. Just come to the UK and meet you in Italy instead.

"Really, why didn't you say hello to me in advance when you were going to the meeting? I had already arrived in Paris, France by train, and then I saw the news in the newspaper that you had arrived in Bologna!"

Fermi's words were more or less complaining.

Chen Muwu also apologized politely: "Enrico, I'm sorry, this is my problem.

"The main reason is that I saw on the map that Bologna, where the meeting is being held, is quite far away from Rome, where you are teaching, and it will not be easy to get back to the UK by then, so I don't have the nerve to disturb you."

"Dr. Chen, you are worrying too much!

"If you have the chance to go to Italy next time, you must say hello in advance. Let alone Bologna, even Venice in the north or Sicily in the south. As long as you say hello, I will accompany you no matter where you are in the world!"

"Well done! Enrico, I'd like to thank you in advance!"

After being polite to each other, Fermi also mentioned Chen Muwu's Prince's College in Stockholm. He congratulated Chen Muwu for achieving so many achievements in physics and chemistry in just over half a year this year.

In addition, Fermi, like Oppenheimer, expressed his desire to teach at Prince's College.

In this regard, Chen Muwu's attitude is of course "Han Xin orders troops - the more the better."

He also made it clear to Fermi that Stockholm Prince's College would be the university with the best treatment for faculty members in Europe, and he could come with confidence.

But Fermi still needs to stay at the University of Rome for a while. He cannot be like the impatient Hubble, who resigned from his position in the United States before even building the observatory.

Before the official opening of Prince's College, Chen Muwu would just send a telegram to Fermi asking him to come to Sweden.

After leaving the room where Femi lived, Chen Muwu wanted to go to the next room, but he didn't expect to meet the hotel service staff who came to see him in the corridor.

The visitor told him that he had received a call from his home and asked Chen Muwu to go to the front desk to answer it.

Chen Muwu put down the phone and hurried back home from the hotel. As soon as he entered the house, he saw the guest that his elder brother Chen Muqiao mentioned on the phone on the sofa.

"Dr. Chen, congratulations, congratulations on getting married!"

"Thank you. The Duke of York sent you here. What's the matter?"

Chen Muwu asked the royal servant he was familiar with.
