Inside the Kingdom of Electromagnetism, Brook had already stopped writing and focused on the wave function on the paper. It was so elegant and concise that it seemed to contain all the mysteries of the microscopic world.
He did not suspect that his deduction was wrong, because solving the wave function would result in a series of discontinuous solutions, or in other words, quantized solutions, which matched the data of several experiments. Also, he received the feedback from the real world, which rejuvenated his broken and solidified cognitive world. It seemed that it would sprout and grow again at any moment.
"The matrix mechanics from the perspective of particles and discontinuity can resolve many problems in the new alchemy. The wave function from the perspective of waves and continuity seems promising, too. Are particles and waves really unified at a higher level as Lucien said? The microscopic particles such as electrons and photons are things that we cannot construct a concrete image for now. We can only describe them from certain properties, even though those properties are contradictory and opposite."
Looking at the formula on the paper, Brook thought about the problem that was of paramount importance to him. Grasping the wave-particle duality and solving the fundamental problem of electromagnetic waves with it was his hope to reshape his cognitive world and even go further.
After the setbacks and the unexpected electron diffraction experiments, he had more or less agreed with Lucien's theory that explained the essence of electrons from a high level of thinking, and he was no longer unwavering in the wave theory.
Ding. The bell on the desk rang, and Brook was back to himself. Lightning flashed in his eyes, and he heard Oliver's voice. "Brook, you've completed the construction of the wave function of electrons, too?"
"Yes, you, too?" Brook guessed Oliver's situation from his delighted and confused tone.
Hearing Brook's answer, Oliver smiled. "So, we finished it almost at the same time. No wonder the feedback from the real world is not as much as I imagined. A classic equation that definitely ranks among the top few in the microscopic world failed to help me break the current obstacle and touch the gate of top legendary. How is it possible?"
His tone was obviously relieved. The degree of feedback from the real world made him doubt the importance or completeness of this equation.
Normally speaking, it was hard to judge the correctness of a theory from the feedback of the real world, because as long as the theory was closer to the truth than before, the feedback would be similar, unless the theory surpassed a lot of theories, like Lucien's general theory of relativity. Also, when the correctness of a theory was confirmed with the feedback of the real world, the cognitive world would change accordingly. Therefore, if one tried a few contradictory theories, as long as it was not the closest to the truth the first time, one's head might explode.
The reason why Oliver was suspicious this time was mainly because it was much less than what he had experienced before.
"Perhaps there are other nerfs … We should've started with the classical theories and built an electron wave equation without caring about the arcana significance and logical deduction. Then, we would've verified the truth and searched for the specific arcana significance. Therefore, until we give the arcana interpretation of the wave function, the feedback of the real world will probably be reduced." Brook analyzed the reason. He was rather proud of the wave function, but he was also calm and rational.
Oliver chuckled. "What other arcana significance can it have? Electrons are waves, and their orbits and energy levels are just the changes of vibrations. Of course, we cannot make a random judgment without any evidence. We have to solve the problems of the new alchemy and the hydrogen atom model with the wave equation and find out what properties the wave function represents exactly … "
He was delighted and excited, but he did not immediately assert that his wave equation was more correct and closer to the truth than Lucien's matrix mechanics.
"Since we derived it almost at the same time independently, shall we call the equation the Oliver-Brook Wave Equation?" Oliver proposed.
Brook frowned and then relaxed. "That's not a problem."
He mainly recalled how the News of the World channel had previously mocked this naming method: "Using my surname and crowning it with your name." For a moment, he found it odd.
After the call ended, Brook tapped the desk softly. "Matrix mechanics from the perspective of particles can also solve the problems of the new alchemy and has been extended to the broader field of the atom model by Hathaway … Does it mean that the arcana significance of the wave function may be different from regular waves …
"About the wave function, I'd better write to Fernando, Hathaway, Hellen, Vicente, and, well, Lucien."
He did not mention Douglas because he believed that Oliver would certainly write a letter to discuss it, and it was unnecessary for him to do so. He also believed that Lucien, who proposed the concept of 'wave-particle duality', would certainly accept the wave function.
… …
Even though he had seen the picture of space, Lucien was still adhering to the routine in his arcana studies. Everything was based on experiment data and observation. Since he had a broader future than other arcanists and could see further directions, why would he take risks? Also, more importantly, such studies were also a process of learning and grasping. Lucien did not want his foundation to be unstable when there were no references in the future.
The pocket watch ticked. It was time for dinner. Natasha, who was no longer worried, looked much better. She walked in with two letters. "Lucien, letters from Mr. Brook and Mr. Oliver. It seems that they have made new progress in their studies."
After the 'queen's work', Natasha often served as Lucien's' secretary ', delivering letters and fetching experiment materials for him. Therefore, she could infer something from the thickness of the letters. However, when it came to the delicate experiments, Lucien often forbade her from entering the lab. She had too many bad records!
After opening the letter, Lucien smiled after reading the beginning.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with Mr. Brook's results? " Scratching her chin, Natasha asked curiously. She was not good enough to read the wave function papers yet. She was merely judging from Lucien's expression.
Lucien leaned back against the back of the chair. Natasha put her hands on his forehead and massaged him for relaxation.
"The strength of a gold Knight is indeed not bad." Lucien teased casually.
Natasha raised her left eyebrow. "That's because I didn't use my full strength. Otherwise, your head would've been crushed. The red blood and the white brain would've splashed all over the floor."
"… Don't talk about such a heavy topic at such a warm moment." Lucien's lips twitched.
Natasha laughed. "As the wife of a head-crasher, I think it's a normal topic. Right, you haven't answered my question yet. Is there something wrong with Mr. Brook's results? "
"No, they are truly great results." Said Lucien sincerely.
… …
After the exploration of the World of Souls came to an end, Douglas held a meeting of the Highest Council, ready to discuss the relevant issues.
Earlier, in the adventure report that he, Fernando and Lucien submitted, they intentionally concealed the specific ways that Thanos and Viken became demigods. They only vaguely mentioned that Thanos became a demigod by accumulating faith and transforming primeval devils with special magic circles. Viken did the same. They did not provide the specific information that they knew and simply blamed it on Viken's destruction and the concealment of the monsters.
They were worried that some of the members of the Highest Council would walk on the path of primeval devils, which was a disastrous path. Therefore, they only considered the three of them for now and would gradually include other grand arcanists. After Douglas or someone else became a demigod on the path of arcana, they would disclose the information to the Highest Council. By then, there would be a bright path. It was believed that few people would choose the path with so many hidden problems. Even if they did, a demigod would be enough to suppress them.
Lucien arrived early as usual, but the meeting room was empty. Klaus was nowhere to be seen. Generally speaking, he would be the first to arrive.
Seeing that, Lucien heaved a sigh and became gloomy.
After sitting for a while, the gray-haired Raventi walked in. After Lucien proposed matrix mechanics and solved many problems in the new alchemy, he finally became the new Lord of Elements through the ritual without further delay. Because the legendary class overlapped with Hathaway's, he was given a similar legendary title, 'Torrent of Elements'.
"Congratulations, Mr. Raventi." Lucien rose and said.
Raventi nodded his head. "Without the changes you brought, I wouldn't have become a legend so quickly."
"Nobody can help a sorcerer who is unwilling to work and study to become a legend." Lucien expressed his admiration subtly.
Raventi shook his head. "I'm more delighted by the microworld and the mysteries of matter that you brought to me than by the joy of advancement."
As the members of the Highest Council and the grand arcanists such as Fernando, Hathaway, and Douglas arrived, the focus of the discussion shifted to the Oliver-Brook wave equation.
At this moment, Brook and Oliver, who had been communicating with each other, walked in.
Douglas stood up with a smile. "Congratulations. You've made a groundbreaking achievement."
Brook remained calm and said, "We still have a lot of work to do. It's not groundbreaking until we construct a new alchemy system different from matrix mechanics with the wave equation."
"In any case, this is a decisive achievement in the microscopic domain." Chelsea, the scholar of Silver Moon, said in excitement. After being tortured by the monstrous matrix mechanics for months, it was truly indescribable excitement and touching to receive an answer from the wave equation that he was familiar with. "I've been studying the equation day and night, trying to figure out everything about it."
Fernando also mumbled, "Your research results aren't bad."
"Hehe. I also believe that it will provide the arcanists with a familiar, classic, and concise new alchemy system. A visualized new alchemy system will no longer be the complicated, enormous matrix mechanics that does not have a corresponding image," Oliver said with a smile. "Lucien, I'm not saying that your matrix mechanics is wrong, but it's too close to pure mathematics. It does not have real arcana significance, and it cannot be learned visually. It's too difficult. It's said that ninety-nine percent of the sorcerers in the Holt Magic College are cursing matrix mechanics."
"Also, the essence of everything is still wave."
After the wave function appeared, the wave theory and the particle theory seemed to be at odds with each other again. But thankfully, Lucien had proposed the concept earlier, so they were not at loggerheads. Therefore, Hathaway and the rest of them did not say anything.
Sensing that a lot of people were looking at him, Lucien smiled. "I have a question about the wave function. What arcana significance does it represent?"
"It is the distribution function of waves such as electrons in space. As for why electrons behave as particles, I have an idea too. I'll write a paper to explain it." Said Oliver confidently and optimistically. "Lucien, do you have any other questions?"
Lucien smiled. "Not for now."
