Chapter 665 Open Class (Third Update Asks for Recommendation Votes)
On the last Friday in April 827, the thirty-first floor of the Alinge Magic Tower was crowded and noisy.
"This is probably the place with the highest density of formal wizards......" Heidi mixed in with the crowd, joking with Katrina, Annick and other classmates.
Since "Atomic Control" Lucian Evans will hold an open class on the microscopic field this morning, the vast majority of magicians are boiling, looking for every opportunity to come and listen, which makes the senior management of Holt Magic Academy have to promulgate restrictions: teachers and students of the academy can freely choose whether to attend lectures here, and outside magicians, whether low, intermediate, or advanced, all decide whether to attend the class according to the order of registration.
Sprint frowned and looked at Heidi: "What are you pulling us for? If you have any questions, ask the teacher for advice in private."
Heidi smiled and said: "I haven't experienced the teacher standing on the podium for a long time, how can I miss this opportunity?"
Under her leadership, most of the arcanists at the Atomic Research Institute have part-time jobs at the Holt Magic Academy, giving back to society the "treatment" they received under their teachers.
"Yes, I miss the leisurely life of studying at a magic school before." Leilia followed Heidi into the large classroom.
Tarlingprospel temporarily opened the magic circle in terms of space folding, so this large classroom was extremely wide enough to seat thousands of people.
Annick couldn't think about the problem in this environment, so he defended Heidi's whim: "Such an opportunity is really rare, usually teachers will definitely not sort out the content from scratch, and systematically explain the whole story, which helps us grasp the omissions, you see, Mr. Gaston, Ms. Isabella, Mr. Larry, Mr. Dieppe, Mr. K, Ms. Samantha, Ms. Rachel...... They are all here."
He originally wanted to pronounce the names of all the magicians he knew one by one, but soon found that this was a very troublesome thing, even more troublesome than studying the microscopic realm.
"Yes, yes, what Annick said is exactly what I can't express." Heidi borrowed Annick's words without shame, and then took everyone to their seats.
Katrina exhaled softly: "I don't know what the teacher will talk about today?"
If it weren't for Lucian's strong foundation, which made them comfortable in the use and understanding of mathematics, they might not be able to keep up with the top group of microscopic realm arcanists.
"This is an open class for all teachers and students, and His Excellency Evans will definitely not go too deep, it should be a holistic analysis that is easy for everyone to understand." Ophelia has been in the atomic research institute for nearly four years, and her arcane level and magical strength have improved by leaps and bounds, but even so, she is ignorant of the microscopic realm, and desperately needs such a comprehensive review to help her grasp it.
Sprint said expectantly: "I wonder if the teacher will come up with a new theory? A new theory to solve the uncertainty of microscopic particles?"
"Probably not...... This is the biggest mystery in the microscopic realm, and it may represent the reality of the world." Annick shook his head, "According to the teacher's consistent view, probability and uncertainty are both internal properties of microscopic particles, not unavoidable disturbances caused by measurement, so if you really find out why microscopic particles have such essential properties, it means that you truly understand the microscopic field."
Heidi curled her lips: "The teacher's explanation is simply deterministic, no wonder Isabella and Miss Samantha, these astrological arcanists, came to observe an open class."
In the buzzing conversation, Tang Pu, vice president of Holt Magic Academy and member of the Affairs Committee, walked in and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Quiet."
With the assistance of the amplified magic circle, the crowded classroom was silent for a moment.
"Next, I will give my time to His Excellency Lucian Evans, who will tell us the mysteries of the microscopic world." Tang Pu knew that nonsense would be fired by magic at this time, so he said concisely.
Then, Lucian, wearing a black double-breasted long dress and a bow tie of the same color, walked in through the side door, took off his top hat, and put it on the lectern.
"Your time is precious, so let's get straight to the point. The study of the microscopic field should start with the wave-particle war of light, so that we can understand the special ...... of other microscopic particles." Lucian said in a calm tone, starting from the classic wave experiment of light, and slowly talking about the particle nature of light being confirmed.
This is something that magicians are very familiar with, and it is also something that is deeply mastered, so no one can't understand it, and it quickly blends into Lucian's lecture rhythm.
…… The discovery of cathode rays, the confirmation of electrons, the revelation of the internal structure of atoms, the confirmation of protons, and the proposal of new alchemy...... From light extending to the wave-particle duality of all microscopic particles, many experiments in the microscopic field do not conform to the reality of the previous model, the idea of matrix mechanics, the interpretation of the wave function, and the debate caused by this interpretation and wave-particle duality.
This is not too difficult to calculate and content, giving them a holistic understanding of the micro realm, indulging in this magical realm, forgetting the passage of time.
"Your Excellency Evans is really fair, he has explained different interpretations, and even analyzed why there are differences. Diep nodded in agreement, to be able to achieve so much at such a young age, there is absolutely no problem with His Excellency Evans' arcane attitude.
Unknowingly, Lucian's overall overview finished speaking, and he smiled and looked at everyone: "This is the content of the first part, here, I want to remind you that although I tried to avoid difficult mathematical knowledge in the narrative just now, everyone must remember that in the microscopic field, we can and can only rely on mathematical and experimental results."
The special emphasis on Lucian was not surprising to Heidi and others at the Atomic Research Institute, because this was the teacher who repeatedly warned himself and others, and the other arcanists who had not received Lucian's education probably nodded in understanding.
Lucian looked around and said in a serious tone: "The microscopic realm is a world that we cannot see directly with the naked eye, and all our current observation methods will inevitably have an impact on it, and various incredible phenomena will appear, and in the face of these phenomena, there will be different interpretations, different theoretical models, and at a rough glance, they all seem to make sense."
"But what I want to say is that in the microscopic field, in the field where our past experience cannot be copied, in the field where habitual methods will deviate, all interpretations, all theoretical models must be strictly based on mathematical foundations, and in addition, it is not called interpretation, not conjecture, but fantasy, fantasy!"
"Mathematics doesn't deceive us......" Nesika whispered to herself, Lucian's momentum and this sentence left him with an indelible mark that could never be erased.
Lucian's serious attitude made most arcanists slightly alert and more impressed by the importance of mathematics in the microscopic realm.
"I believe everyone has doubts about the wave-particle duality of electrons, the ubiquitous probability cloud that permeates space, and whether it can split through two gaps......" Lucian suddenly raised this question.
Most of the arcanists nodded frequently, this was the most difficult and controversial place so far, but Annick and the other Lucian students all opened their eyes wide, according to their understanding of the teacher, things were probably not that simple!
"The teacher has completed the preparation for the electronic double-slit interference experiment?" After a short silence, Heidi quickly recalled the teacher's busy project, which would be an important verification of the duality of electron waves and particles!
Annick and Splinter lost interest in talking to her, staring intently at the podium, their hearts pounding for the teacher's next words.
Lucian paused for a long time before saying: "Rest for five minutes, and then I will demonstrate the electronic double-slit interference experiment."
"What?" In the large classroom, shocking voices sounded at the same time, demonstrating such an important experiment on such an occasion?
After being shocked, they quickly became excited and excited, will they witness history themselves? Witness a miracle happening?
Lucian ignored them anymore and took out an ordinary metal plate by himself, which didn't seem to have any gaps, or the gaps were so small that they were hard to see.
"Such a small gap, even if it is legendary magic, I am afraid it will take several months of carving to complete." Arcanists exchanged ears, and some notified their teachers to come and watch, believing that the archmage would not be stopped.
The alchemy devices were taken out by Lucian, and soon formed a platform to verify the interference of electronic double-slit, and at the same time, Lucian derived the image of the induction screen with other magic circles and visually enlarged it on the wall.
At this time, Brook and Oliver, two great arcanists, rushed over. They were not surprised that Lucian completed the metal plate required for the electronic double-slit interference experiment before himself and others, after all, he was also a powerhouse close to the legendary third order, and he was the undoubted number one authority in the microscopic field.
They could have waited for the final results of the experiment, but the pursuit of arcane and truth made them stand in the large classroom without any scruples about their identities, wanting to witness it for the first time.
After a few tens of seconds, Douglas came, Fernando came, Helen came, Hathaway came, and legendary magicians and archmages came.
Lucian lowered his eyes, covered his pupils, then smiled invisibly, opened his eyes, and walked to the experimental device: "Next, let's start the electronic double-slit interference experiment."
