Throne of Magical Arcana

In the commissioner's office.

Marcus picked up the "Nature" journal that had fallen on the desk and read Dieppe's paper carefully from beginning to end.

This time, he was more focused and devoted than during the review, so much so that he tapped on the desk with his black gloves after a long time: "If electrons are regarded as wave-like, then the problem of energy levels and orbits of electrons in the new alchemy technique has The direction of explanation is now, no wonder His Excellency Lucien Evans values ​​Dieppe's hypothesis so much."

This is a thought in his heart, and he is not afraid of being known by others. Therefore, Marcus, who instinctively hates the theory of light quantum, is unwilling to call Lucien Your Excellency, but when he thinks of this name, he will think of the role of relativity theory in interpreting electromagnetic phenomena in motion systems. Important role, and the description of the nature of gravity that makes people have to admire and admire, so subconsciously added another Lord.

"No matter what, this hypothesis is still too bold, and it must be confirmed by experiments." Marcus put down the "Nature" journal, left the committee's office, and was about to return to his magic tower. He joked to himself, "Particles The authority and pillar of the theory of light depends on the unimaginable thing that electrons are waves to correct energy levels and orbits and perfect the new alchemy. ?”

For arcanists who have experienced baptism time and time again, if they blindly follow other people's opinions and believe without verification, they will definitely not be able to live until now. Therefore, although Lucien is a famous great arcane The teacher has the absolute authority to be correctly shaped time and time again, but Marcus will not easily agree with his point of view, everything is based on experimental phenomena or data.

The only effect of Lucien's editor's note is that he raised the attention of this paper to the highest level, which is the closest approach to the real microcosm.

If I really design and complete this experiment and verify the volatility of electrons, I will get unimaginable rewards, and I may share real-world feedback and the Evans Arcane Award with Dieppe!

Strength, reputation, future, and status will all be greatly improved!

In the magic tower.

Yana looked at "Nature" in front of him dumbfounded: "This is really unexpected. Your Excellency Evans gave such a high evaluation. Are you encouraging everyone to think broadly?"

"Electrons are waves. This is really an age full of fantasy. Twenty or thirty years earlier, whoever dared to say that atoms are waves will have to bear the ridicule of every arcanist, even those who believe in the essence of energy. , and now, tsk..."

He didn't mean to ridicule, but expressed the shock in his heart with such words, then his eyes diverged, and he fell into deep thought, seeking the direction of designing the experiment.

Even the magicians of the electromagnetic faction who are delighted with Dieppe's hypothesis have such an attitude, let alone other unacceptable arcanists.

Elemental Will Headquarters.

Larry, K, and Gaston also looked at this issue of "Nature" and fell into a daze. After a while, Larry smiled wryly: "Am I too conservative? Or is the world changing so fast that Can't we keep up with it?"

"I don't think anyone in the entire council can keep up with this pace." Gaston shook his head, "Lucien should have seen the dawn of solving the new alchemy electron distribution model from this assumption, which gave him great support. High evaluation, but he himself said that it must depend on the experimental results and phenomena, and now all this is still blank, whether the electron is a wave or not is still unknown."

When these words echoed in the room, no matter Gaston who was speaking, or Larry and K who were listening, they all felt an indescribable weirdness. When the subject and object of "Is electron a wave?" The things that are connected are quietly mixed like this.

This weirdness is like someone saying "Is human beings made of waves?"

K nodded and scratched the back of his head: "If we change our point of view just because of a hypothesis and Lucien's affirmation, then our point of view is not a point of view, and all current experiments have fully verified the electronic The particle nature, there is no doubt about it."

"This is the arcane attitude we should hold." Gaston admitted authentically, and frowned slightly at the same time. If electrons are regarded as waves that can solve various problems in the new alchemy, it can be regarded as an indirect verification. reality.

Although starting from this assumption, building a theory to perfect the new alchemy is not something that can produce results in a short time, and the wave experiment of electrons also shows signs of improvement in the foreseeable future due to the wavelength problem, but Gaston still couldn't help it I am worried, which of the two basic theories in the field of elements and matter will I give up? Particle Theory, or the New Alchemy?

"This is really an era with so many changes and eccentricities that it is difficult for people to adapt to." Sighing secretly, Gaston decided that everything should be based on experiments, and he can only grasp the pulse of the times in this way, do a good job It is a two-handed preparation to admit that the current model of particle theory and new alchemy is wrong, but in this way, his strength may stagnate until he finds a way.

Larry also sighed: "If it is really verified that electrons are waves, I simply can't understand this world. What is wave-particle duality and why there is wave-particle duality? Oh, I'm not too stupid, It's that the world is too crazy."

…………

Inside the Atomic Institute.

Lazar, Heidi, Annick and others were all holding the "Nature" journal in a daze, and it was rare that they did not enter the working state.

At this time, Lucien who came in from the door woke them up and surrounded them all. The always bold Heidi asked eagerly, "Teacher, do you agree with Mr. Dieppe's electronic wave hypothesis?"

"If it is admitted that light has wave-particle duality, why can't it be extended to microscopic particles, and this can turn the quantization imposed in the new alchemy into an intrinsic property of electrons." Lucy, who had not had time to take off his black top hat En thought for a while, and decided to clearly explain the things that were not obvious in Dieppe's thesis, "You guys spread out first, and I will explain slowly."

As long as an arcanist who is good at electromagnetism and waves reads Dieppe's papers and his own comments, and connects with the bottleneck situation of the current new alchemy theory, he can directly think that if the electron is a wave, then its orbital model should be How to deal with it, whether the quantized energy level and orbit will be derived naturally.

With doubts, Heidi, Ophelia and the others slowly dispersed and followed Lucien into the conference room.

"First of all, this is a hypothesis that has not been proven. We must be highly skeptical. I am very pleased that you are not willing to blindly believe my comments." Lucien first affirmed the attitudes of Annick, Lowe and others , so that their impatience eased a lot.

Lucien put the top hat on the conference table: "But it doesn't mean that we can't try to apply this hypothesis to solve some problems virtually, so as to broaden our thinking. If this hypothesis can well answer some current contradictions, then we will That assumption needs to be taken back and given more attention, and that's where I base my comments."

"...If electrons are regarded as standing waves, they must have orbits that are integer multiples of their own wavelengths to exist when they are bound around the nucleus. In this way, the quantized orbits are no longer imposed on electrons, but It is its inherent property..."

Listening to Lucien's narration, Splinter and other arcanists who participated in the new alchemy debate and perfection all nodded slightly. The problem of imposing quantization that Hathaway accused had always been something they could not avoid, and Now there seems to be the dawn of a solution. Even assistants such as Black and Ophelia who are less involved and mainly read and study papers have similar feelings. But why should this direction be at the expense of particle theory?

"Teacher, all the experiments we have completed have undoubtedly confirmed the particle nature of electrons." Annick expressed his opinion tactfully but firmly.

Lucien smiled and nodded: "I have never denied the particle nature of electrons."

"Then how could it show volatility?" Driven by Annick, Sprint and Katrina asked questions at the same time.

Lucien smiled and said, "Then why can light not only exhibit particle properties, but also obtain classical diffraction and interference patterns?"

"It is probably because of other reasons that make the particles show fluctuations in a certain form of organization, such as the vibration of the position, or it may be that many special waves that supporters of the wave theory think gather together to form nodes, thus showing the particle Sex." Annick was not shy and withdrawn when it came to arcane discussions.

Lucien shook his head: "It may be possible, but I want to correct a misunderstanding. Waves and particles are the definitions we impose on electrons and light. They have never shouted that they are particles or waves. We It is entirely possible to call electrons by a new term, such as 'something in a form I cannot imagine'."

"The name is just a symbol of human identification, and what can we actually grasp? It is the experimental results, the things we really observe, that is to say, the properties they exhibit."

"Waves and particles are definitions derived from previous experience, which may not be applicable to the microscopic world. To explore a new field, we must learn not to be bound by old experiences and thinking patterns."

Seeing that the students and assistants fell silent, Lucien smiled: "I'm here to attend the meeting of the Supreme Jury. Let me talk about this first. You can try to design experiments to verify or overthrow this hypothesis. It is still a hypothesis after all."

"Electronic wavelength..." Lazar said with a headache.

Lucien pointed to the books on the bookshelf of the research institute: "Let's take a look at the content of crystals, Jerome, you should be very clear. More than a year ago, His Excellency Morris accidentally used X-rays during a certain alchemy experiment. Irradiate the crystal and discover its diffraction phenomenon, and the wavelength of X-rays is very short, we can start from this aspect."

"The electronic one is shorter than it." Rock muttered to get the books, and the others also looked for information on crystal diffraction.

Lucien looked at their backs and shook his head. Unless they were really blessed by the goddess of luck, it would be difficult for them to discover the diffraction phenomenon of electrons, because the current research on crystals by the Magic Council is deformed, very deformed, and the source of this lies in the field of mathematics and physics. The lag and utilitarianism of development.

The study of crystals must be supported by group theory, and group theory is based on the development of various mathematical fields, such as number theory, while the Magic Council's research on "group" and "number theory" is still in a relatively low-level state However, Lucien did not deliberately guide them to develop in this direction, so the research on crystals only came from reverse analysis and accidental discoveries from magic, without systematic theoretical support.

Fortunately, after the establishment of Levsky's geometry and the publication of "Nature", Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway, Prophet, Astrologer, Mina, Nessica, Samantha and other high-tower or non-tower arcanists They have all exerted their talents in the field of pure mathematics, and have made varying degrees of progress in number theory, groups and other things. Unfortunately, due to the short time, they have not been able to initially build it. Give them a few years or more than ten years. about there.

Due to the delay in the research institute, Lucien entered the meeting room of the Supreme Jury almost one of the last few times, and was the first to see the teacher's terrifying eyes full of storms.

"Oops, the teacher won't suspect that I have completed the experiment, right?" Lucien felt that it was very possible, in the teacher's heart, he was always the one who gave comments only after being prepared.

"There is no experiment to prove the volatility of electrons..." Hathaway said suddenly, looking at Lucien seriously with indifferent eyes, and all the members including Helen and Vicente looked at Lucien together.

Lucien let out a sigh of relief. Do you want to have a "communication" on Dieppe's paper before the meeting?

This is really the "normal form" of the Supreme Jury meeting...
