The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 170 Who said that?
Subtitle of this chapter: Send another nice guy card
Our Grey Knight got a new skill while listening to the Grand Magister's speech, which is...
Camouflage: Dozing off with eyes open.
Even though the speaker before him was the greatest scientist of the 20th century, he simply had no interest in listening to general relativity. As he said, he just wanted to understand what it was about.
So he listened attentively for two hours with a solemn face, and finally came to the final QA ( question and answer ) session.
"Mr. Einstein, what do you think of Niels Bohr's quantum theory?"
After all, it is Princeton University, and the questions asked by the audience were very relevant.
In fact, the old quantum theory is called Bohr theory because he proposed a radical hypothesis in 1913: electrons in atoms can only be in a fixed state including the ground state. Electrons change their energy when they jump between two fixed states, and at the same time radiate light of a certain wavelength. The wavelength of light depends on the energy difference between the fixed states.
To translate it, the state of electrons is discontinuous, random, probabilistic... and non-deterministic.
"Sir, I personally prefer to find a unified field theory that can accurately describe physics..."
Indeed, Einstein was not opposed to quantum theory and the indeterminism it revealed. He believed that quantum theory might be just a rough theory that could explain the overall behavior of nature's basic building blocks, but the resolution was not enough to explain each of them individually.
Simply put, he did not deny the randomness of quantum theory, he was trying to explain the randomness with a unified field theory.
The "danger" of quantum theory lies in that if the low-level laws governing the behavior of particles are random, then how can we be sure that the high-level laws governing the macroscopic world are not random?
If macroscopic laws are also random, then objective laws do not exist, causality is not inevitable, and human free will is simply an unreal illusion.
So in the 1920s, when quantum theory was born, various forms of postmodernism were also flourishing. It cannot be said that the two are completely unrelated.
Of course, it is too early to say this now, because the "new quantum theory" has not yet been truly established, and postmodernism has only just begun to show a sign..
"Mr. Einstein, please tell me..."
"Mr. Einstein, please tell me..."
"Excuse me, I have a question for Mr. Yuan!" The questioner who was called upon this time said loudly.
"Docto Li, what are you doing..." Principal Hepburn was stunned when he recognized the questioner, but there was no rule that prohibited asking questions to other people on the podium.
He had no choice but to look at the Chinese man along with the others in the auditorium and said, "If Mr. Yuan doesn't mind."
Our Master Yuan took a closer look... and it turned out to be Dr. Lee Da from Princeton University, General Lee Da of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, and Lee Da's running dog of the United States of America.
Oh, this guy has to show himself to me. If I don’t beat him up, I will be sorry for the party and the country, sorry for the people, and sorry for his identity as a time traveler.
"Of course I don't mind!"
Yuan Yan stood up without hesitation, nodded to Principal Hepburn to express her gratitude, then smiled at Syngman Rhee in the audience and said, "Uncle Li Xitiande Li, do you have any questions?"
"My question is..." Syngman Rhee had a serious face and stood straight, looking quite serious.
He looked around and raised his voice, "Mr. Yuan, what do you think of Mr. Wilson, the 'former president of Princeton'?"
I see. He deliberately highlighted the "former president of Princeton" in order to arouse the audience's sense of solidarity against the enemy. After all, President Wilson was indeed their former president and he must have a close relationship with Princeton University.
His trick really worked. Some people couldn't help but think of the Chinese man on the stage who had written many commentary articles criticizing their former president. It was said that these articles made President Wilson so angry that his condition worsened.
Therefore, some people in the auditorium really showed unfriendly expressions, and there was a small commotion among the crowd.
"Oh, you mean what I think of Mr. Thomas Woodrow Wilson..." Master Yuan, who was not affected at all, breathed a sigh of relief, blinked his eyes, spread his hands and said, "Of course he is a good man!"
"Hmm..." Syngman Rhee, who had not expected such an answer, paused and asked, "Then why..."
"STOP!" Yuan Yan suddenly raised her hand high and shouted to stop him: "Uncle Li Xitiande Li, I haven't finished what I want to say!"
This is not the debate of the future where you and I have different opinions, but a face-to-face debate.
In this case, don't give the other party a chance to speak, and don't present facts or reason. Use the words that can best arouse the audience's emotions to launch a continuous attack, leaving them no time to think.
This is the essence of Mr. Temperance's oratory skills.
He pointed at himself and said, "Could it be that Mr. Einstein likes my novels because I am a good person?"
The Grey Knight pointed at the Grand Mage and asked, "Could it be that my friend Albert was able to write the theory of relativity because he is a good man?"
He drew a line with his hand, including everyone in the hall, and asked, "Is it because you are good people that you can become professors and students at a prestigious university like Princeton?"
Lee Seung-man felt that the situation seemed a little bad, and interrupted again, "Mr. Yuan, what are you doing..."
"Please don't interrupt me!" Master Yuan didn't give him any chance at all.
He asked loudly to everyone present: "Who says that good people can definitely be good barons of the United States of America?"
For example, the two most popular uncles in later generations, JFK and WJCThese two are not good people.
It's not a big deal that they can't control their pants; it's a common problem among successful men. But when the former commits murder and the latter commits perjury, that's a serious problem.
In fact, if we really think about it, can highly acclaimed presidents such as Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt be considered good people?
In 1922, Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shizhi, Liang Shuming and others published an article entitled "Our Political Propositions" in the "Effort Weekly", proposing that a "good government" be formed by "good people" among intellectuals to strive to change the reality of government corruption.
It would be fine if these masters couldn't carry out industrialization, but they are also so naive in politics... no matter how many masters there are, they are useless.
“Who said that?!”
“Who said that??!!”
“Who said that???!!!”
"Bo Li Xitiande Li, did you say that?!"
