Chapter 451 Their Experiments (Third Update)
"I believe this news has attracted far more attention from Arcanists than Monday's Holm Crown Award. Since His Excellency the Speaker's experiment at the speed of light forcefully questioned the existence of the 'ether', the wave-particle debate erupted again and was pushed to a new height by Mr. Evans' quantum hypothesis of light.
"Looking back on the previous two 'wars', the wave theory led by His Excellency Brooke was close to completely defeating the particle theory, so that the last diehards could only comfort themselves with the weak reason that the 'ether' could not prove its existence, so as not to collapse the cognitive world, but the particle theory suddenly used the speed of light experiment and the light quantum hypothesis 'resurrection of the dead' to launch a new round of attack on the wave theory with great momentum. But they have never been able to find a self-justifying theory to explain these two phenomena."
The simple introduction of "Lark" outlined the outline of the Wave Particle War, which made the young magician Blake boil with enthusiasm, clenching his fists and trying to knock the absolute few stubborn and hateful guys to the ground, while he faintly heard the other magicians in the branch cursing loudly from the open window. There is no doubt that there is no small group of particle theory supporters here.
"After three years of brewing, the wave-particle war seems to have reached a stage where it can decide the outcome, and Lord Brooke and Mr. Roland have completed the improvement of the magic circle at the same time, and have the basis for conducting precise photoelectric effect experiments.
"This will be a historic event for the council, an event that marks the future direction and the real world of the world, so we randomly invited a few arcanists to ask their views to see what the council thinks about this matter." "Lark's" crisp but passionate and infectious voice seems to be able to penetrate into everyone's hearts, "Hello everyone, I am Lark, the anchor of "Alinge Weekly News Review".
"Hello, Miss Lark, you are as beautiful as your voice." A clear male voice replied nervously, seemingly with a little joy and excitement.
The other male arcanists cowered a little and greeted them dullly.
"Hello, Miss Lark, I really enjoy listening to your "Allinge News Review of the Week", you are more beautiful than we imagined. A female arcanist replied softly on behalf of several companions.
"Lark" laughed and said: "Thank you all for liking. I would like to ask you one thing today. I don't know what you think about the upcoming precision light quantum experiment by His Excellency Brooke and Mr. Roland?"
"Well, this is something we've been waiting for for a long time, since Commissioner Evans threw out the quantum hypothesis of light, and we've been waiting for a gentleman to come forward and confirm the error of this hypothesis. Our own strength has not yet reached a high level, and the improvement of the magic circle is still in the stage of exploration, so we can only wait, three years have passed, and finally let us wait for this day when we can openly refute this ridiculous hypothesis, and I believe that Lord Brooke and Mr. Roland can give convincing experimental results." The clear male voice speaks eloquently, and his eloquence seems to be quite good.
"I'm very happy to see that Your Excellency Brooke and the others have completed the magic circle improvement, I've had enough of those particle theory guys."
"The results of the experiment will prove that the fluctuation theory is correct."
Several male arcanists also answered one by one.
"Although I personally admire Commissioner Evans, I admire his many arcane achievements, I admire him for winning the highest honors in four different fields before he was promoted to the highest level, tied for the first place in the history of the council, and I admire him for becoming a high-level magician before the age of twenty-five, but I don't think the quantum assumption of light is correct, Commissioner Evans will also make mistakes, well, so he is more like a flesh-and-blood person, more approachable......" The soft female voice seemed to want to go on, but was interrupted by her companions.
After listening to the answer, Lark said with some doubts and a slight smile: "It seems that no one believes that the experimental results will be beneficial to the quantum hypothesis of light? Is the dominance of the wave theory really so unshakable? Three years later, there is still no other theory that can explain the photoelectric effect, and all the imprecise experiments during this period are perfectly in line with Commissioner Evans' quantum hypothesis of light, and even one of his predictions has been confirmed.
"Certainly."
"This is inevitable."
"There is no doubt about it."
……
The nearly ten arcanists interviewed all answered in the affirmative, but their voices seemed to show a hint of weakness and lack of confidence compared to before.
Blake's clenched fists were released, and every excitement seemed to have a turbulent dark blue pupil calm, revealing deep doubts and lack of confidence, yes, three whole years, there is still no other theory that can explain the photoelectric effect, all the experimental results are proving the correctness of the quantum hypothesis of light, similarly, several theories that try to explain the speed of light experiment have been falsified one by one, and the existence of the ether is in jeopardy.
Is it necessarily correct to say that it fluctuates? Will the results of this experiment definitely falsify the quantum hypothesis of light?
…………
The sound of "zi" electric sound sounded, and a slightly wrinkled hand landed on the button, and with a gentle force, the alchemy radio was dropped.
After doing all this, Barek saw his teacher Brooke looking out the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the twisted magnetic field and beating arc of his electromagnetic kingdom, condescending like the master of everything, so he took a breath carefully: "Teacher, have you listened to the previous "Alinge Weekly News Review"?
"Well, it's a very good program form, Evans can make amazing results in any field." Brooke, wearing a wig and a hair cover, nodded slightly, like an elegant and conservative old gentleman, "It's just that his humor and the vocabulary he created, sometimes I don't fit in too much."
"Whether it's Alinge, Rentat, Cooks, or the Solar Islands, more and more young wizards are using the novel vocabulary created by Evans. This seems to form a trend that whoever doesn't use is backward and conservative." Barek said with a faint smile, then his expression became solemn, and he said hesitantly: "Teacher, you should have listened to the interview hosted by Lark?"
"Huh?" Brooke looked back at him.
Barek plucked up the courage and said, "I'm a little worried about the results of the experiment......"
"Let's get to the point." Brooke said calmly, when it came to arcane issues, he didn't like to go in circles, and he didn't like to talk a lot.
Barek closed his mouth: "I have done several experiments before, and the results are biased towards the photoquantum hypothesis, which seems to be the only way to explain the photoelectric effect...... I hope that before conducting experiments, you will not have a firm idea, the wave theory is not without a way out, we still have diffraction images, we still have a whole set of theories......"
After a while, when Barek was sweating a little, he retracted his gaze and looked out the window, as if he had seen Alinge of the main material world through half a plane, and saw the gloomy night of early spring again, and sighed in a low voice:
"It's going to rain......"
…………
Alinge headquarters, the first area on the 31st floor was specially designated for the use of "Sky Radio"
It was the middle of the night, and the "Voice of the Mystery" ended earlier than the "Real World", so the whole floor was empty, almost no one came and went, and the sound of footsteps stepped on the corridor, producing a crisp echo, cold and lonely.
After sorting out her belongings and taking a quota potion to protect her throat, "Lark" Samantha walked out of the lounge with brisk steps, ready to return home.
As soon as she went out, she saw Lucian, who was wearing a black double-breasted long dress, greeting other arcanists on the World Real Channel and condoling them for their hard work, so she maintained a serious and indifferent expression and asked curiously in a crisp voice: "Evans, why are you still in the Magic Tower at this time?"
It's all quiet in the dead of night...... Since the two channels were on the right track, Lucian had never been here at night again, what happened today? Could it be that the experiments of Lord Brooke and Mr. Rowland made him uneasy?
"Some experiments at the Institute of Atomic Studies have just come to an end, and I thought you hadn't left yet, so I came over to take a look." Lucian said simply.
"Experiment? Experiments on precise photoelectric effects?" Samantha became more and more curious.
Lucian shook his head: "No. The teacher bombarded the gold leaf with helium atomic streams to give me some inspiration, and I was bombarding some gases with it to see what I could discover.
"So honest? Aren't you afraid that I will get ahead of you?" Samantha raised her eyebrows.
Lucian smiled and said: "This is a hard experiment, you need to sit there and watch the constantly flickering points of light, looking for trajectories, and you never know when you will pay off."
"Why do I think you have already gained so you are not afraid of me taking the lead." Samantha showed a faint smile.
Lucian shook his head and smiled: "You don't believe it, I can't help it, well, the show is very successful, you and Louise have become the dream lovers of the young arcanist, but staying up late all the time is not very good for your spirit."
"I am an astrologer, I am used to looking at the stars in the middle of the night, and after recording at night, I can replay it in the morning, so I don't have to come again." Samantha lowered her eyes, looked at the six black ring crests on Lucian's chest, and was silent for a moment, "It's so late, why don't you find a place to eat? Only in this way can we better continue the experiment."
Lucian smiled: "No, I'm going to the Atomic Research Institute soon. When my magic tower is built, I invite you to join me for the banquet, which is a thank you for your hard work."
After chatting for a while, watching Lucian turn around and leave, his back disappearing around the corner, Samantha sighed softly.
Back at the Atomic Research Institute, Lucian walked into the laboratory, sat on the side of the alchemy observer, then turned on the magic circle, continued the experiment just now, and recorded the data.
On the messy laboratory table in Lucian's right hand, a stack of white paper was casually thrown in the corner, so that most of the debris was pressed, and he could vaguely see the words written below:
「…… These are the precise data and images of the photoelectric effect."
