After Neeshka and Samantha left, Bergner, the Prophet, began to make a prophecy after a long period of preparation.
Crack. The crystal ball in his hands fell to the ground in a crisp sound. Thankfully, it was an item that had been tempered with magic and was not damaged.
Frowning, he looked at the crystal ball on the ground in disbelief and mumbled to himself, "Why is it like this … Why is it like this …"
It was the first time that he could not see any result in his prophecy. There was only mist, as if the future could not be determined anymore.
"What interfered with my prophecy?" After calming down, he considered the possibilities in another direction.
According to the theory of the school of astrology, the fate of the future was strictly determined by the current status. Prophecies could not be accurate because the prophets had their limits. They could not reach the "highest level" of omniscience like "Thanos Demon". Naturally, the prophecies were fuzziness. However, in any case, as long as the prophecies were not completely incomprehensible, they would more or less see a part of the future. Right now, there was only mist that could not be seen through!
Bergner believed that he knew enough about the debates in the microscopic domain to get some vague hints. However, things were beyond his expectation. He had to consider other reasons.
… …
The Month of Gold (October) arrived as the heat gradually faded. The sorcerers in the Holt Magic College began to wait for the new issues of "Arcana", "Magic", and "Nature". After a few months, most of the magic apprentices who passed the College Entrance Exam of Advanced Magic successfully advanced into sorcerers here. The ratio of advancement was as high as three to two.
It also made the Holt Magic College very tempting for the magic apprentices. The College Entrance Exam was covered in mysteries, as if it were a standard to determine whether or not a magic apprentice could become a sorcerer.
Therefore, in the Douglas Magic College, the magic schools in various branches, and among the magic apprentices, books such as "Mock Test of the College Entrance Exam of Advanced Magic" and "Evans Secrets" became popular. Heidi, Layria, Alfalia, and the other girls made a lot of money.
Before the special theory of relativity class, Ernesto walked into the classroom again and distributed the journals to the sorcerers. This time, his face was as normal as ever, and there was delight in it. He did not need to learn the troublesome matrix mechanics anymore!
His casual attitude infected the students. Knowing that there was no disruptive content in the journal, they opened it casually. However, as they read on, Onore, Clark and the rest of them couldn't help but be overjoyed and learn the content greedily.
On this issue of 'Arcana', two of the first three papers were written by Brook, and the last one was by Oliver. Based on the wave equation, they solved the problem of the model of the hydrogen atom and established a new alchemy system that seemed entirely different from matrix mechanics. It was also simpler, more vivid, and more attractive!
"This is arcana …" Onore remarked in a low voice. "Even in the entire field of electromagnetism and elements, the Oliver-Brook wave equation is definitely one of the top three classical formulas. It's a truly great achievement!"
Clark also said, "I almost shed tears when I saw the wave equation. This is arcana, not a complicated mathematical monster! In the past few months, I could only apply matrix mechanics preliminarily and couldn't understand it at all. However, after only one month of studying the wave equation and reading the paper just now, I seem to have grasped the internal structure of atoms and the microscopic domain. I didn't know that everything could be so fascinating! "
"Also, the wave theory that the two excellencies have established is based on the classical arcana theories. They are not completely abandoning them and only 'thinking' with mathematical methods. Although Mr. Evans's achievement is genius, it is too genius for the 'normal people' like us to imagine and understand." A student nearby took over.
Onore continued reading the paper while he said sincerely, "I'm going to focus on it in the coming year. I can't wait to study its mysteries in front of it every day. Huh. Mr. Oliver proposed a theory about why electrons behave as particles. 'Wave packets'?"
The theory was not complicated. It was just that many lines (waves) were kneaded into a ball in a specific way. Also, because the lines were attenuated very fast in the direction around them, they looked like balls on the whole. The bulging bumps roughly showed the nature of particles.
With such an explanation, Clark, a supporter of the wave theory, was even more overjoyed. He believed that it was the real axiom of the microscopic domain that revealed the most profound law of the quantum world.
He was about to say that the nature of particles was included in waves when the papers of Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway, Hellen, and the rest of them jumped into his sight. They roughly proved that wave mechanics and matrix mechanics were mathematically equivalent, and they proposed the changes of arcana quantities that did not conform to the commutative law of multiplication.
"… The two systems of new alchemy are actually equivalent …" Clark couldn't help but blurt out.
Onore saw that part too. "Mr. Douglas' proof is the clearest, but it does not seem to be mathematically rigorous enough … If they are equivalent, are the nature of waves and the nature of particles also equivalent? Is it true that microscopic particles are new things that we haven't really recognized yet, as Mr. Evans asserted, and we can only describe them based on actual results instead of applying the original concepts? "
It was not because he had understood the few papers, but because they all admitted that they lacked a rigorous mathematical method to prove the equivalence strictly.
"Maybe." Said Clark, somewhat frustrated, but after the electron diffraction experiment, he had accepted such an explanation and was not too against it. So, he cheered again. "If they are equivalent, do we only need to study wave mechanics in the future and do not have to bother about the wretched mathematical monster anymore?"
"Yes!" The sorcerers around replied at the same time.
Clark smiled and looked at Onore. "Last month, you speculated that the textbooks of the new alchemy would be changed again. I told you that it was impossible, but I have to sincerely apologize right now. I was wrong, and I'm glad that I was wrong!"
"How many times have the textbooks of the new alchemy been changed?" While delighted, Onore also sensed the suffocating feeling that the changes were like a storm. In such an era, not working hard and not being serious would mean being abandoned, and it would be impossible for them to catch up.
Seizing the time before the class began, they continued reading the few journals. Their eyes widened again. "The hypothesis of the electron spin model?"
"Well, it explains the abnormal splitting phenomenon very well. However … However, the surface is spinning ten times faster than the speed of light, which violates the special theory of relativity!" Clark did not read the specific content but only focused on the result.
Exclamations of shock echoed in the classroom. They found it hard to imagine that such a paper could be published on 'Arcana', which was best known for its rigor. However, as they read on, they discovered that Annick and Sprint had another paper that dealt with the spin problem with matrix mechanics. The result was unquestionable. In the meantime, they also saw that Mr. Evans had written a paper on matrix mechanics about the spin problem. Through the model, he accurately predicted that a certain calculated value in an experiment was wrong and affirmed the correctness of the spin from another perspective.
Of course, he also explained the problem of the surface spin speed so that people would not be so against the spin theory.
Annick and Sprint's spin model was not fiercely questioned partly because they only submitted it for review and did not publish it publicly as per Lucien's request. Also, they had the support of Lucien's paper. Also, it was because the arcanists' attention was focused on wave mechanics, which had been glowing since it was born!
"In such a case, the four quantum numbers of Fernando's Incompatibility Theory are now complete." Onore discovered that almost every paper on the journals in the past few months could've been ranked at the top of 'Arcana' a decade ago, but right now, they were either at the bottom or could only be published in the journals such as' Magic 'and' Nature '.
Clark, however, remembered something else. "Mr. Evans has two papers. One of them is on spin, and the other is a supplement to Chloe's statistics. Neither of them is about wave mechanics. Is it possible that …"
They thought of the past again and again. Such silence seemed to contain a terrible storm. When Mr. Evans published a paper on wave mechanics, would it be another red and white storm?
"Now that the two new alchemy systems have been proved to be equivalent, it shouldn't be a problem …" Onore comforted himself optimistically. Then, he took a deep breath. "The correctness of wave mechanics is beyond doubt, and the interpretation of the wave function has been proposed by Mr. Oliver. It seems that the second Evans Prize in Arcana will be awarded for this achievement."
"The two of them will also win the Silver Moon Medal and the Holm Crown Ring." Said Clark enviously, "But why are you so amazed, Onore? That's the achievement of a grand arcanist! "
Onore shook his head. "I'm just amazed by Mr. Annick and Mr. Sprint. Their hypothesis of electron spin has made up for the current model of new alchemy. Even if they can't win the Evans Prize in Arcana, they will definitely win the Silver Moon Medal and the Holm Crown Ring. They're about the same age as us …"
"That's really …" Clark was lost for words. They were about the same age, but they were already promising to win the highest honors in their fields when they were still working to become middle-rank sorcerers in the Holm Magic College. Also, they had become middle-rank arcanists and sorcerers a long time ago.
After all, they had a great teacher … He couldn't help but think.
After a day of classes, Onore returned to his dormitory and wrote today's diary on his notebook.
"… I'm more and more aware of the urgency and fast pace of arcana development. It's as if the mysteries of the world are surging out like a flood, dyeing the whole world of arcana and magic with a layer of glorious gold. It's impossible to see it all … In such a golden age, such a crazy age, even a second-rate arcanist can make first-rate achievements!"
"… The proposal of wave mechanics is the most dazzling gem this year, and the preliminary proof of the equivalence of the two new alchemy systems seems to indicate that this year will pass peacefully."
