Chapter 123 Shocking Experiment
Chen Yinglin, the famous physicist, executive vice president of Luojing University, was invited to attend this press conference of the Royal Academy of Sciences today. Originally, the event had a conflict with one of his lectures, so he didn't want to come.
But as the latest candidate for academicians, he received some hints that this event is very important. If he doesn't come, it may have an impact on his academician's selection. In this way, even if he doesn't want to come, he has to come.
Chen Yinglin studied under Xia Zhongyuan in his early years and was also considered a disciple of Xia Zhongyuan. However, except for some early academic achievements, he has not made any achievements in the past fifteen years, mainly because he devoted a lot of energy to the administrative affairs of the school.
From the department chair to the executive vice president, the promotion is indeed hard enough for him, a person with no background.
But as a title of "famous scholar" on his head, he has never been selected as an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and it has always been a concern for him. For this reason, he has visited his former teacher Xia Zhongyuan several times, but when Mr. Xia heard that he wanted to be an academician, he would definitely ask him a question - do you have any important research results list this year?
Chen Yinglin was always speechless about this question.
So, gradually, he stopped asking for teachers and instead thought of other ways. This year, he finally squeezed into the list of academician selection with several important papers. How could he lose such an opportunity because of an important event!
However, when he saw Xia Zhongyuan also came to participate in this event, he was also very surprised. He was still very excited about the content of the next event...
But when he heard the name Situ Lei, his heart suddenly sank.
Situ Lei was a professor in the Department of Physics at Luojing University and was also a colleague of him, but Chen Yinglin was the head of the department at that time, and it was Chen Yinglin who criticized Situ Lei's original research on Jingpandao. The first person to expel Situ Lei from his teaching position on the charge of academic plagiarism was the first to raise him.
It can be said that Chen Yinglin was the initiator of the "academic persecution" that Situ Lei suffered back then.
Xia Zhongyuan’s speech just now was indeed very shocked to Chen Yinglin. Unlike those reporters, he was very clear about the emergence of the origin of matter and how important it is to the scientific community and even the entire human civilization.
Especially when Xia Zhongyuan mentioned the sentence "A great scientist in Donghua has revealed the greatest and most important answer in human history - the origin of matter", how he hoped that the great scientist was Chen Yinglin!
Of course, this can only be a little jealousy. He is still curious about who this "great scientist" is. It would be great if he knew him or some of his senior brothers.
A person who has such an important scientific experience will definitely be specially invited to be awarded the title of academician. If such an acquaintance is present, then there will be no problem with his academician qualification selection.
But what he didn't expect was that the name of the great scientist reported by the news spokesperson was Situ Lei. And the person who came out was really the "Situ Lei" he knew. This made Chen Yinglin feel a little restless.
What is the smallest matter in the universe? The answer to this protracted question has continued to evolve with the development of human science. People once believed that the sand particles we can see with the naked eye were the smallest matter. The presentation of atoms was once considered inseparable until they were split and the inside of the atoms was protons, neutrons and electrons. Similarly, these three particles were eventually confirmed by quarks to be not the smallest particles.
The theory of string theorem assumes that all particles are not dot-shaped but small rings. However, no scientist can make experiments to prove that the dizzy theorem is wrong, and it cannot prove its correctness.
Chen Yinglin recalled all the scientific theories about the minimum composition of matter in his mind, and thought about how to find the theoretical fallacy of Situ Lei who "told" on stage. Perhaps this is also an opportunity to become famous!
According to convention, there should be a questioning session in this kind of news conference. In addition to reporters, the questions from their invited guests are even more important. If he can find Situ Lei's fallacy and break his fallacies in one fell swoop, he will become the biggest lie in history. Such a result is what he expects!
But it seems that Situ Lei did not give him this opportunity...
"Strings, singularities, and even particles of the universe can be expressed by Planck constants. Theoretically, Planck constants are a theoretical result of the origin of our world's material. But no one can truly confirm this theoretical result so far..."
Situ Lei has a deep study of Planck's constants. This is indeed effortless to explain in his professional field and is easy to understand.
The Planck constant is just a hypothetical correct result, and no error can be found in theory, but since this "constant" is much smaller than any instrument that can measure the scale, no one knows whether the constant is length, weight, degree, etc. Therefore, it is just considered a theoretical limit.
Situ Lei, who had been talking on the stage for more than half an hour, was actually just recounting the current known scientific results. So no one could refute the fallacy. But when he proposed the concept of "source energy", the first questioner appeared.
"You said that source energy is the unit of the smallest matter, so what is the source energy? Can you tell it clearly? What is the unit of energy of source energy? How do you confirm its existence? Since you just said it is unfathomable..." A reporter who has been engaged in news reporting in the field of scientific theory for a long time is still relatively professional, and the questions raised are also on the point.
Situ Lei smiled and said, "Of course I can confirm that all my research results have been reported to the Royal Academy of Sciences, and after more than a month of review and verification by all academicians, they have been confirmed. Of course, if I say these relatively boring theories and formulas, if I say this here, even if I say last month, it will be difficult for you to understand..."
"Then... how can you make me believe it?" the reporter asked relentlessly.
Situ Lei smiled and said, "I can use a simple small experiment to prove that source energy does exist, and this experiment also involves another field, which is the practical application of source energy... I think the general public may be more interested in this."
After saying that, Situ Lei took out a piece of paper!
A pattern is drawn on this piece of paper!
When he placed the pattern in the projector, everyone was confused.
"I will name this pattern as the source energy magic array. This is just one of them... The function of this magic array is to release the source energy in matter... Let me do a simple experiment for you. Who has a coin, can you lend me some money?" Situ Lei smiled at the reporter.
The reporter immediately took out a coin from his wallet and handed it to Situ Lei. But Situ Lei did not accept it... After he held the paper in his hand, he signaled to the reporter and placed the coin at a certain point on the paper.
Just as the reporter put the coin on, Situ Lei also let go of his hand at the same time.
According to ordinary people's perception, this piece of paper will definitely fall to the ground with this coin... But then, a magical scene appeared!
The paper actually carried the coin out of thin air and floated in the air.
The reporter was closest to it, and coins and paper were floating in front of him... His eyes were wide open. When Situ Lei made a little distance away, he began to circle the magical paper and coins up and down, left and right, and fell down from above and checked over and over again, but there was no anything to cheat.
"How did this...this is done?" the reporter asked in surprise.
Situ Lei smiled and said to the reporter: "You can gently touch this paper to see how they reflect it, and then I will answer your question."
The reporter did as Situ Lei said. He gently pressed the paper. When his finger pointed to the paper, the paper sank a little. But it stopped soon. Although the height dropped, the floating paper and coins did not fall.
Then he made some touches up, down, left and right, and also as he touched, the paper and coins made some movements, but they were still floating.
"Professor Situ, please reveal the answer! They... what's going on?" The reporter finally couldn't help but feel the strong curiosity in his heart and asked for the answer.
Situ Lei smiled and said to the reporter: "You can take a closer look at your coin! See if there are any changes!"
After being reminded by Situ Lei, the reporter leaned closer to look at the coins without them. After looking at them for a while, he shouted in surprise: "The coin has shrunk! It...it is melting..."
Situ Lei nodded and said, "The source energy magic array just now is aimed at metal matter. It can release the original energy of the material contained in metal matter in a direction. The result of this energy release is a reaction force on the ground! I think everyone should be able to understand this phenomenon, which is the same as the helicopter being able to hover in the air."
Situ Lei's explanation is clear and straightforward, and the imagination brought to people by this experiment... can be described as the word "infinite".
Although such a small coin is released, the energy is being released and the coin is melting, it has been floating for so long.
This shows how powerful the source energy contained in this small coin is... Similarly, if this technology is applied in real life, how much change will it bring to people's lives!
Now, everyone understands why Xia Zhongyuan said that before!
