According to Lucien's suggestion, Dieppe submitted the paper to the Arcana Review Board after marking 'electromagnetism' on it. Dieppe felt a bit strange, but he thought that it was understandable. "It's said that every breakthrough achievement will receive feedback from the real world? It seems that I have to wait until there are experiments or phenomena that are confirmed … "
In his opinion, the wave-particle duality proposed by Mr. Evans and extended to all microscopic particles should be a recent breakthrough that was only second to the general theory of relativity and the new alchemy. It was almost as significant as the periodic table of elements, and it should receive feedback from the real world. However, Dieppe also knew very well that his deduction was based on a bold assumption. If there were no experiments to observe the wave nature of electrons, even he would not fully believe it. Therefore, Dieppe believed that he would not receive feedback from the real world until he completed the experiment in person or saw other people's experiment papers. After all, it was a process that needed to be confirmed by himself.
"Electromagnetism? To Mr. Markus, Mr. Yana. "
With the metallic voice of the alchemical life, Dieppe's paper was handed over to the two authorities in the field of electromagnetism. Since it was a paper written by a senior-rank arcanist, they did not send it to their students or the editors of Electromagnetism. Instead, they left it on their desks until they finished their own research. Then they picked it up and reviewed it.
Markus was a senior-rank sorcerer who looked young. He had fiery red hair and liked to wear black gloves like the night watchers. He would not take them off even when he was doing experiments or magic exercises.
"'A hypothesis from the light quantum theory and the research on it'?" Marcus frowned as he stroked the surface of the paper with his black velvet gloves. He did not have a good impression of "light quantum", which made his understanding of electromagnetic waves fall into a state of confusion.
Disgusted, Markus opened the paper. However, after only a few glances and knowing the premise, he put on an interesting smile. "Interesting …"
The paper was about dozens of pages long, but the actual content was not too complicated for Markus. It did not take long for him to chuckle. "Electrons are waves? I can't believe that Dieppe can come up with this idea … The wave-particle duality can be extended to such an extent. Interesting, very interesting. "
He seemed to have seen how the supporters of the particle theory were going to stare at him. He sighed, "But it's still a bold hypothesis. I don't know when there will be experiments to support it."
Markus did not really believe Dieppe's paper, even though the core of the paper was very suitable for him. After running the calculation, he wrote, "A very bold hypothesis, full of fascinating flavor. It's a risky attempt to explore the truth of the world in electromagnetism, and it's highly subversive. Because it's still a hypothesis, groundbreaking, extremely important, worth of discussion and universality of microscopic particles, I can only suggest that ten arcana credits and two two hundred arcana points can be temporarily rewarded."
Because the paper was based on the wave-particle duality of Lucien's light, although Markus believed that Dieppe's paper was very groundbreaking, he still could not give such an evaluation.
After writing the review opinion, Marcus sealed the paper and continued reading other papers. In his opinion, the unreliable hypothesis was not worth his attention and study even though it was interesting and suited him. He only needed to test the waves of electrons occasionally when he was free, because he had a lot of important things to do. At least so far, no experiment could prove the waves of electrons, and he could not think of any way to verify it for now.
In Yana Feamir's library, Yana, who had short flaxen hair, was laughing hard. "Electrons are waves? Such a hypothesis is definitely not something that a normal arcanist can come up with. Dieppe is really a guy with an open mind! His teacher, Raventi, must've given him the baptism of saliva storm! "
"However, this is really an interesting paper. I'm looking forward to seeing the faces of the diehards who support the particle theory when they read this paper. In the future, when they mention Mr. Evans's light quantum, we'll respond with electron waves." Yana thought happily, but then he shook his head. "It's a pity that it's just a hypothesis, just like the light quantum. Maybe it won't be proven until years or decades later, or maybe it will never be proven. It will be buried in the dust of history."
Yana had seen some similar bold hypotheses before, especially after Lucien Evans put forward several disruptive theories. However, none of them could be proven by any specific experiment or phenomenon. No matter how rigorous the reasoning was, the previous hypotheses were still hypotheses.
After thinking for a while, Yana restrained himself from praising the paper and wrote, "This is the most shocking paper I've read this year. However, hypotheses are always hypotheses before they are proven. I can only give a tentative opinion on this paper that is groundbreaking, extremely important, and very popular in the microscopic domain. Eight arcana credits and one hundred and fifty arcana points will be rewarded. I hope that all arcanists will participate in the verification."
Although Yana was encouraging the arcanists to experiment, he soon forgot about it. Before he finished his work, he would not be able to find time to verify this interesting hypothesis. After all, it was just an interesting hypothesis.
Soon, the result was returned to Dieppe. Dieppe was not surprised by the mere reward of nine arcana credits. If he were the one who reviewed the same paper, he would probably only give the paper a certain value of discussion and then reward it with one or two arcana credits. Obviously, the two members of the Electromagnetism Committee liked this hypothesis very much.
"Which journal should I submit it to? Electromagnetism, Light-darkness, or Common Arcana? " Dieppe knew that since he was not a member of the Arcana Review Board, he had no influence on Arcana and Magic. They would definitely not publish such a hypothetical paper, and the arcanists from Element would definitely tear the paper into pieces.
While Dieppe was thinking, a letter was sent to his desk by his servant.
"Nature?"
Due to the influence of the general theory of relativity, the influence and the number of subscriptions of Nature had been greatly increased in the past half year. It had established itself as the most authoritative journal in the field of mathematics. Together with the major journals such as Element and Astrology, Nature was a very good choice for submitting papers.
Knowing that Mr. Lucien Evans was the honorary chief editor of the journal, Dieppe accepted Nature's invitation without any hesitation. It seemed that the journal wanted to be influential beyond the field of mathematics and become a comprehensive authoritative journal like Arcana and Magic.
…
Because of the deliberate leak of the paper by Markus and Yana, in less than two weeks, some well-connected arcanists learned about the existence of such a novel paper.
"Electrons are waves?" Larry looked at the paper in front of him, amused. After reading it, he still felt that he was in a dream. "Is Dieppe focusing on scaring people?"
Gaston and Raventi were good friends, and Larry was also familiar with Dieppe. Larry shook his head with a smile and threw the paper aside. He did not spare any time to pay attention to such a bold and absurd hypothesis.
In the Department of Battle Sorcerers, Jurisian, who was leaning against the back of his chair, was also reading the paper with a smile. He rubbed his sore face and said, "If this paper is confirmed, it will definitely raise a storm as big as the confirmation of the light quantum hypothesis, especially this time, we don't have three years to wait."
"However, it's still hard to believe, even though I like the hypothesis very much." Jurisian threw the paper aside and decided to try to design an experiment when he was free.
In the Atom Institution, Sprint, whose position had been greatly improved after his teacher became a member of the Highest Council, also exchanged Dieppe's paper. He said in a mocking tone, "Not everybody is a teacher who can come up with a bold and reasonable hypothesis. Electrons are waves? This is really the funniest joke of the year. You can apply for the ranking of jokes in Allyn Impression. "
They were the first people who knew about electrons, and they were also the arcanists who had done the most experiments on electrons. All the experiments had proved one thing without a doubt: electrons were microscopic particles! It was not like when the light quantum hypothesis was proposed, the wave theory still had the loophole of ether.
"Yes, none of the existing experiments support it." Heidi agreed.
Annick wanted to say something, but he also felt that it was too absurd, and he could not find a good way to experiment. So, he nodded his head like Katrina, Chelly and the rest of them and added, "In any case, when we are free, we will still design the magic circles that can diffract or interfere with the electron based on the wavelength calculated in this paper. Only experiments can prove everything."
Although Sprint hated the whimsical hypothesis, under the guidance of Lucien, he was quite serious about arcana. "Yes, we can refute it with experiments. However, I'm afraid that it's impossible to design a magic circle or an alchemical device that can diffract or interfere with the electron based on the wavelength."
"Anyway, we'll give it a try. Just consider it a combination of our arcana knowledge." Heidi smiled.
They made the decision happily and did not tell their teacher about it. In their eyes, even they would not pay much attention to the paper, not to mention their teacher.
Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway, Oliver and the other grand arcanists were more serious than ordinary people after reading Dieppe's paper, because it was based on the light quantum theory that waves were also particles, and it was possible. However, the difficulty of the experiment prevented them from paying too much attention to it. They were only trying to improve the current magic circles in their spare time. After all, they had their own magic research and arcana exploration to do.
… …
Soon, it was the beginning of February. Lucien's' Vengeful Gaze 'had been successfully constructed in his soul.
As a member of Arcana Review Board, Markus got all the journals as soon as possible. However, he only read a few of them, such as Arcana, Magic, Electromagnetism, Astrology, Element and Nature. As for the rest, he read the abstracts. He would not look for the original articles until he found some good content.
Picking up Arcana, Markus was not surprised to see the title on the cover: "Issue No. 2, 825. Commemorates the proposal of the general theory of relativity. This is a great theory. Thanks to Mr. Lucien Evans, we have got in touch with the nature of gravity."
It was the treatment that every epoch-making arcana achievement would enjoy.
Opening the journal, the title page was Douglas' final review after combining the review opinions of Fernando and 'Prophet' Bergner:
"This is a theory that is ahead of its time. It gives us a preliminary understanding that the nature of gravity is the curved space-time. Although the derivation of the theory is complicated, it is rigorous and flawless. Also, the calculation value based on the theory perfectly matches the observation value of the superfluous precession of the Morning Star at perihelion and the faster time on the artificial planets. We can basically say that it is the closest description of gravity to the truth and one of the greatest achievements in the history of magic! "
"If I were to give my review without objectivity, I would give it the most prestigious position. With its unparalleled theoretical beauty, it will certainly dominate the development of arcana."
"The system of relativity allows us to enter the structure of the most basic concepts of arcana and the most fundamental mysteries. The most attractive truth of the world is revealed more 'beautiful'. I suggest that we should reward Lucien Evans and his system of relativity with thirty thousand arcana credits and eight hundred thousand arcana points!"
Markus heaved a long sigh. He did not think that the review was excessive. The system of relativity was the most simplified theory of electromagnetism in the motion system, and it also provided an explanation of the nature of gravity, which was the fundamental problem that had troubled generations of arcanists of the Congress of Magic.
"Miracle night … What a miracle night … What happened tonight will definitely be praised by future generations, speculated and described with the greatest interest." Markus skimmed through the current issue of Arcana. Seeing that it was basically an explanation of the theory of relativity, he put it aside and decided to read it last. After all, the content of the general theory of relativity was very difficult for him, and he was still learning geometry.
After reading Magic and other journals, Markus picked up Nature, where Evans' geometry and tensor analysis papers were written.
Browsing through the table of contents, Markus suddenly saw a familiar title: A Hypothesis Based on the Light Quantum Theory and the Research on it.
"Why would Nature publish such a pure hypothesis?" Markus frowned. Did Dieppe publish the paper through his connections?
Turning to the corresponding page, Markus slightly narrowed his eyes and saw the editor's note under the title of the paper:
"… This paper may have lifted a corner of the curtain and revealed part of the truth …"
Subconsciously, Lucien looked at the name of the special editor, and the two words' Lucien Evans' suddenly jumped into his eyes.
With a loud noise, Nature fell on the desk. Markus' face became extremely solemn.
"Lifted a corner of the curtain?"
He murmured to himself, his tone full of solemnity and disbelief. Although Lucien Evans was not the correct name, his affirmation was enough to make most arcanists reconsider the paper and pay more attention to it!
