Oliver was amused by their reaction. He chuckled, "Rest assured. Your heads will still be there after you read it. It's both my estimation and the prediction of astrology."
Mariana was still not reassured. "Your Excellency Oliver, you know that Mr. Evans' paper is highly subversive and destructive. Also, you summoned us here in advance. I feel that a terrifying devil has been projected into my cognitive world, and my head will explode if I'm not careful. Can you tell me why you made such an estimation? Why did you choose us? "
Oliver coughed to stop himself from laughing. He had a deeper understanding of Lucien's image in the eyes of most arcanists. His name was even more intimidating than the Lord of Hell and the Will of Abyss, especially when his name was associated with a paper, and it was against the regular review procedure, just like what happened to Brook at that time.
"You were selected for review because, judging from the papers on the journals such as' Magic 'and' Electromagnetism 'in the past three months, you have already developed the idea and started to study it more deeply. Therefore, your cognitive world will not be broken." Oliver stated the real reason.
Of course, he did use astrology to divine their fates in advance.
"We have a similar idea?" Annhora recalled in confusion and soon realized something. "Are you talking about the studies on your transformation equations and the deeper consideration on the space-time relationship?"
Oliver nodded. "Yes. I believe that you will benefit a lot after reading the paper."
Dubious, Annhora and Mariana accepted the paper with shivering hands. They saw the title of the paper: 'On the Electrodynamics of Moving Objects and the Mass-energy Equation'.
Huh, the name did not seem to be very subversive.
Therefore, the two of them began to read the paper carefully. With quills and paper, they calculated now and then.
As they read, Annhora subconsciously grabbed her hair with her left hand, which was not holding the quill. Her head was swollen, as if she were interested in the topic but found it hard to understand.
Mariana, on the other hand, bit her lips like she always did when she was young and mumbled, "Time? Space? How can it be like this? "
Oliver crossed his fingers and looked at them calmly, but his eyes were rather solemn because of their reactions. After eight months of preparation, there shouldn't be any more large-scale headshots, right?
Also, the space-time view of the theory of relativity was not perfect for the time being. They should be able to see some problems. At most, their views would be confused, but their cognition would not collapse.
Time went by one second after another. Suddenly, Anahera raised his head and said with excitement and confusion in his eyes, "I find it hard to believe that time is a function of speed, but it is full of magic. Also, there are a lot of problems."
"As Lucien said himself, this is only a preliminary and narrow paper. It hasn't introduced anything beyond the inertial frame yet. There are still many unsolved problems, but I think this space-time view is very interesting." Oliver said with a smile. For someone like him who had an artistic aura, this kind of space-time view was more to his liking.
"This has completely reconstructed my understanding of space-time. Had it not been for the consideration in the previous months, my cognitive world might've been broken and frozen because of the chaos of space-time. Well, Mr. Oliver, this paper should've been proposed by Mr. Evans a few months ago, right? The discussion recently was to prepare us psychologically and intellectually? "Anahera was suddenly enlightened.
Oliver nodded slightly. "Yes, before my transformation equations were published. This paper has a groundbreaking contribution to our studies in macroscopic and high-speed dimensions. Perhaps it's one of the reasons why planets have not been discovered yet. I believe that you can see the value of it. Of course, you can also see the imperfections in it. "
"Yes, I believe that most senior-rank arcanists of the school of electromagnetism and the school of Light-darkness can accept this paper. It is closely related to the classical electromagnetism theories and clears the old views that were covered in electromagnetism theories in the past." Said Anahera in agreement.
Mariana, on the other hand, murmured to herself in confusion, "But what about aether? What about aether? "
Anahera frowned. It was not until this moment that he realized that aether was no longer of any use in this paper. It seemed that the foundation of the wave theory needed to be modified.
Hearing Mariana's words, Oliver smiled bitterly. "Aether, waves, particles … We've been arguing about this problem for too many years, but to this day, we can't understand them at all."
"Right now, it's like a legion of Knights. Both parties are attacking fiercely, but neither of them can cross the chasm and win the final victory." Mariana was also back to herself. "Mr. Oliver, in order to give a proper evaluation of this paper, we need the confirmation of experiment results and phenomena."
Oliver took out another paper and opened it in front of them. "This is the paper on the improvement of the cyclotron submitted by Lucien. The relativistic effect is clearly observed in it. Also, I have some questions about artificial planets that involve the changes of space and time."
Oliver didn't dare to bring it out until he saw that they were well adapted to it.
Reading the paper, Anahera slapped his head hard. "If I had paid more attention to the discussion of this issue on 'Arcana', it probably wouldn't have taken so long. I would've been able to derive Mr. Evans' electrodynamics paper in a couple of months."
"It means that Mr. Evans' ideas and direction are correct, but his paper is not perfect yet." Mariana also gave her opinion and praised the mass-energy formula.
After the new alchemy was proposed, they addressed Lucien as Mr. Evans instead of Mr. Evans, but the meaning was completely different now.
Returning to the office of the Arcana Review Board, Anahera soon received the paper sent by the alchemical life. Without reading it further, he simply wrote down his review opinion with his quill.
"This is a sublimation of Mr. President's motion system. The limitation that it can only be accurate at low speeds has been fixed, and the concept of motion has been extended to macroscopic and high-speed scales. It has preliminarily resolved the problems of the integration of the two systems since the electromagnetism theory was perfected. It shows us the hope of establishing a unified theory of arcana in the end."
"Based on the minimal premises and hypotheses that Mr. Evans advocated, we discovered, to our surprise and horror, that our understanding of time and space seemed to have reached a mysterious and confusing direction. It was completely different from the time and space that we knew in the past, but it was so mysterious and magical. Not only did it subvert the construction of time and space in our cognitive world, but it also subverted the concepts that we established based on the absolute view of time and space in our daily life. It made me more confused than ever. I even started to doubt the value of life. "
"It's hard to believe that time will slow down as the speed increases, and space will shrink as the speed increases. Everything violates our intuition and imagination, but the equations seem to contain enough persuasiveness, as if they are closer to the origin of the world. Also, Mr. Evans has already observed the theoretical effect of the acceleration of speed and mass in the acceleration of electromagnetic cyclotron. At this moment, I feel that a sacred gate in my heart has collapsed, but a brand-new gate has appeared on its ruins."
"Although the system of relativity established by Mr. Evans is not perfect yet, and the problem of generalization in the inertial frame hasn't been solved yet, its value is unquestionable. The mass-energy formula that indicates the relationship between mass and energy is also full of mathematical and arcana beauty. It is concise and powerful, and it hides unimaginable mysteries, just like the Brook equations of the Goddess. Whoever is not shocked and attracted by them certainly does not have arcana talent!"
"Mass and energy, time and space. This is the wonder of the world. Perhaps we can derive immense power from it. Based on that, I have made the following evaluation of Mr. Evans' paper: This paper will have the magic power to change the era after it is completed. It will give us a more intelligent understanding of time and space and mass and energy. Also, it can be seen that it will establish a system of the theory of relativity. Therefore, I suggest that three thousand arcana credits and eighty thousand arcana points be rewarded. "
Because there were still a lot of problems and the system hadn't been established yet, Anahera did not give the same evaluation and reward as the new alchemy, and the Congress did not award him the title of grand arcanist. However, Mariana, who made a similar evaluation, felt suffocated. It seemed to mean that Lucien Evans could become a real grand arcanist based on both the new alchemy and the special theory of relativity!
… …
On the thirty-third floor of the Allyn magic tower …
"It took them eight months to brew the prelude of the theory of relativity. Those guys are even more idiotic than I thought!" Fernando estimated that it would take at most half a year.
On his opposite side, Lucien smiled. "It's not easy to break the old ideas. However, in such a case, there shouldn't be any senior-rank arcanists whose heads will explode."
If there was another massive explosion, Lucien felt that the street would be empty when he walked on it.
"With the credit reward, your arcana level should be improved to level eight, shouldn't it?" Asked Fernando casually. In fact, he did not care much about it.
The higher the level, the more difficult the enchantment would be. The effect of the arcana badge and the magic badge could not be enhanced anymore.
Lucien nodded. "The feedback from the new alchemy in the past eight months is truly terrifying. The paper, the innovation of materials, and the reduction of the difficulty of magic items have all brought me abundant benefits. Together with the credit reward of the theory of relativity, I may be able to advance to level eight in a couple of months."
The discovery of the splitting of spectral lines in a strong magnetic field and the theoretical explanation of the new alchemy had brought him the Jurisian Silver Moon Medal in the field of electromagnetism. Lucien's cognitive world had also been more stable. The speed of his learning of eighth-circle and seventh-circle spells had been accelerated. He had learned nine of each.
"'Arcana' will be released tomorrow. There won't be too big a storm, so we can prepare for July in peace." Fernando looked out of the window and said solemnly. The upcoming war would decide the fate of the Congress of Magic for a while.
