Act 357. Wave-particle 2 iconicity

"Light is both a wave and a particle."

As soon as Reiner said this, mixed exclamations came from the entire conference room.

Most mages thought that Reiner would come up with some earth-shattering theories, or simply end the war between the wave theory and the particle theory, but unexpectedly, he came up with an answer that seemed a bit "ridiculous".

Both a wave and a particle?

What a joke.

Putting aside whether there is any material in this world that is both a wave and a particle, this answer itself seems to make fun of the debate in the mage community for decades.

Even if one does not insist that light is a wave or a particle, the ambiguous answer given by Reiner is still difficult to accept.

"Linard Ingle, are you serious?"

The legendary mage Carl David advocated the particle theory. At first, when he saw Reiner's photoelectric effect paper, he thought that Reiner was a member of the particle school. However, he did not expect that in just two papers, he betrayed the particle school. , and gave such an extremely ridiculous answer.

"Is there really matter in this world that is both waves and particles?"

"Now we have it, Sir David."

Reiner was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied in a deep voice.

"Haha, I know that it is difficult for the photoelectric effect to coexist with interference and diffraction, but isn't our goal to use a complete theory to explain two contradictory experimental phenomena clearly? Now, instead of overcoming the problem, we Choosing a compromise method to avoid the problem is not what a mage should do."

Carl David, in his practical style,

He speaks arrogantly and has no regard for the feelings of others. Before he became a legendary mage, David often quarreled with others. The result of the quarrel was a magic competition, and the winner was always David. In the realm of legend, there is no more No one dared to argue with him.

Carl David prefers to use his fists to reason than use his mouth.

Of course, his current refutation of Reiner's words is not simply unreasonable. David believes that accepting Reiner's statement is the last resort, which represents the failure and compromise of mages in exploring this world.

He actually doesn't care whether light is a particle or a wave. What he cares about is how to use a complete theory to explain the various characteristics of light, whether it is a wave or a particle. If it can be done, this will represent the mages' understanding of light. have the deepest understanding of its nature.

Having both characteristics at the same time is quite frustrating.

Just like the black body radiation problem, the thermal radiation displacement law and Oaklander-David law are established in the high-frequency and low-frequency fields respectively, but they will fail in the opposite frequency domain. Before the emergence of Stein's formula, mages were working on high-frequency Using two sets of formulas for high frequency and low frequency, we can only get approximate curves. How similar is this to the predicament that the nature of light is in today?

As the co-initiator of the Oaklander-David law, Carl David, who has personally experienced the bitterness of it, refutes this ambiguous statement in this way.

"Don't add entities if it's not necessary. This is what you said, Reiner, so why add another characteristic to the light?"

Lord Lanchester Stannion also spoke, and his words made many mages nod their heads. Although the statement that light has two properties at the same time can solve almost all problems related to light currently encountered, it can be explained with a hypothesis. The experimental phenomenon is too hasty.

"If it is true, as you said, that light has two characteristics at the same time, then what does the essence of light look like and how does it usually exist? Will it change its characteristics because of the different things it encounters? "

Allen von Norbert Reinhardt asked questions in an angry voice. He was not that aggressive, but the questions he raised were also thought-provoking.

Indeed, the existence of matter should be certain. How can matter change its characteristics due to different observation methods? This is just like light itself having a will, which is contrary to the long-term research phenomenon of mages.

"Linard Ingle, you'd better explain your point of view with experimental results. If there is experimental support, then we should accept the conclusion no matter how absurd it is."

Finally, Herman Braggs' words gradually silenced the discussion in the venue. People looked at Reiner thoughtfully, waiting for his proof.

Hall looked at Reiner Ingle from a distance, being questioned by many legendary mages, but there was no trace of panic on Reiner's face, only calmness and confidence.

This is a more serious situation than the time of Lord Isharis Alberton.

At that time, His Excellency Isaris Alberton was still a high-level mage. He had different opinions with several other high-level mage, so they argued in the high-level council. The only difference was that no one could explain the movement clearly at that time. Learn whether the three laws of learning are true.

Now, Reiner faced seven legendary mages, dozens of high-level mages, and hundreds of mid-level mages.

Almost everyone disagrees with his argument, and anyone here can give examples to refute it.

Can Reiner prove it?

How on earth is he going to prove it?

"In my hypothesis, light is a special substance with the characteristics of waves and particles. When light is observed from different angles, it will show different characteristics."

Reiner said and everyone was silent.

"When light shines on a metal plate, the particle nature causes the outermost electrons of the light quantum atoms to generate an electric current. When the light passes through a small hole or a double slit, the wave nature allows it to undergo diffraction and interference phenomena. It is precisely because of the light With these two properties at the same time, such a contradictory phenomenon will occur.”

Reiner's words made many mages unable to hold back, because his statement seemed to be a simple summary, but the real experimental part was not mentioned at all. Some even thought that Reiner was just stalling for time.

"The reason why I say these seemingly nonsense things is to prepare you mentally to prevent the theory I am going to talk about from causing some unfortunate accidents. I must emphasize to everyone, forget what you have known before. All worlds start from a blank, follow my rhythm to re-understand light, otherwise, unpredictable situations are likely to occur, you know what I am talking about."

Looking around the audience, Reiner said calmly and calmly.

His words caused an inexplicable panic among the mid-level mages, because the meaning of Reiner's words was self-evident, and his subsequent display may very well lead to cognitive collapse!

Will Reiner come up with a game-changing theory?

The high-level mages were also a little uneasy. At this time, the atmosphere in the venue was like an empty valley where a storm was coming, solemn and silent, as if just one spark would completely detonate it.

After a pause, Reiner continued.

"Actually, as Mr. Lanchester said, don't add entities unless necessary. We don't need to impose an attribute on light in order to explain the contradictory phenomena in different experiments. So, what I want to say is, wave Particle duality is not just a property unique to light, but a property shared by microscopic particles, for which I will provide experimental proof."

Reiner said calmly, looking directly at the legendary mages, as if the audience were not academic masters, but his own students.

"At this venue."
