Chapter 22 Experimental Results
On March 28, a new issue of "Wulin Feng" was published.
"As everyone knows, Qin Xianao's theory of relativity proposed to explain the difference in the flow of time is ridiculous, in his theory of relativity, he denied the existence of the ether, and after the efforts of Junshi, Uncle Hui, Ziwen and others, I finally overcame the last difficulty of the ether experiment, and the ......preparation for the light speed difference measurement experiment will be carried out on the same day."
This news published by Cheng Yi in the newspaper immediately attracted the attention of the entire martial arts world.
The ubiquitous 'ether' is an absolute view of time and space, and it is also the theoretical basis of the book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", so finding the existence of 'ether' has always been a major topic in the scientific community, but limited to ability, it has not been able to find a good way to find 'ether'.
However, this time, the theory of relativity in the book "New Physics Foundation" overturned the absolutely correct view of absolute space-time and space set by the book "Principia" and denied the existence of the ether.
Under the peach blossoms in the Creek Garden.
"I've calculated Mr. Ikawa's experiment, and it's completely feasible without any mistakes. Qin Chao walked behind Li Qingzhao and gently hugged the beauty, "Qingzhao, let's go and tell your father and mother that if Mr. Yi Chuan's light-speed measurement experiment fails this time, then how about we get married?"
"It doesn't have to fail. Li Qingzhao held down Qin Chao's hand, "Your absolute view of time and space has been proven by history, and your new book is only calculated by you with the pen in your hand." ”
"If you fail, will you marry or not?" Qin Chao whispered.
Li Qingzhao lowered his head slightly: "What if...... If that's the case, then I'm ......."
"Hmph!" a cold snort came.
"The theory of relativity is too incredible, and it's not so easy to take my family photos based on this. A faint voice sounded.
"Mother. Li Qingzhao pushed away Qin Chao's hand, jumped away like a rabbit, and his face flushed, "Mother, why did you come out?" "Mother, aren't you embarrassing me like this." Qin Chao turned his eyes to look at Wang Yixian with a cold face, "The theory of relativity wants to prove that it is impossible without a hundred years, and it will not make me and Qingzhao wait for a hundred years, right? ”
Einstein put forward the theory of relativity, it can be said that it took half a century for more and more people to believe in this theory, and it is only a special theory of relativity, and the reason for this is not only the development and progress of science and technology, many experiments have proved the correctness of the theory of relativity, but also because the older generation who opposed the theory of relativity is almost dead.
Therefore, many people in later generations believed this, and if it were not for the fact that the opponents of the theory of relativity were almost dead, the theory of relativity would still be wrong and unacceptable in the scientific community.
It took half a century for the special theory of relativity to be accepted by most people, and the general theory of relativity is still very controversial half a century later.
And regardless of whether it is general or special relativity, there are still many people who disagree with it a century later.
"One hundred years, is it so long?" Wang Yixian scoffed.
"One hundred percent. Qin Chao nodded. Wang Yixian's brows furrowed slightly: "If you really agree with your theory, then it won't take long to prove it with the longevity technique, right?"
"Mother, it's not that you don't know, the difficulty of the longevity recipe argument is increased exponentially, and I am confident that gravity can be demonstrated, but this ......" Qin Chao shook his head, "It is definitely not something that can come out in a moment and a half, I estimate that it will take at least five or six years." ”
"Five or six years?" Wang Yixian raised her eyebrows, glanced at Li Qingzhao who was bowing her head on the side, and nodded, "Okay, if the lightspeed experiment fails this time, I agree to let Zhao'er finish the ceremony with you." ”
Soon, if Mr. Yi Chuan's light-speed measurement experiment returns to zero, then Qin Xianao and Li Qingzhao will complete the marriage ceremony and release it on "New Youth", which will make the entire martial arts world a sensation.
Spring goes and autumn comes.
In a lobby in the backyard of Yichuan Academy, in front of the mercury trough, Yang Shi's brows furrowed.
"Teacher, my observation is the same as Jianhe, and I didn't notice any streaks moving. Yang Shi said in a deep voice.
"No?" Cheng Yi's face was a little ugly, the speed of light was difficult to measure, and this time the measurement method they adopted was to measure the distance and speed of light movement according to the interference fringes of light, if there were no fringes moving, it would mean failure.
"I'll take a look. Cheng Yi walked to the marble containing the interferometer and repeated the experiment, time passed, and finally Cheng Yi retreated with an ugly face.
"Teacher, this is the seventeenth time, and we can't find the reason, obviously it's not that the experiment went wrong, but that it's true. Yang Shi said in a deep voice, "If we do it further, there is no need, the people of the world are waiting for our results, do you want to send the results to the newspaper?"
Cheng Yi slowly raised his hand and waved it vigorously: "No matter what, let's announce it to the world, since the experiment is not wrong, then the reason is not ours." ”
"Yes!"
The next day, the new "Wulin Wind" was released all over the world.
"Zero? Isn't it that the Aetherstorm didn't work at all?"
"How could this be the result? This is not in line with science, is it right to make Qin Xian Aomeng right?"
"Qin Xianao used to subvert other people's views, but this time, it is his own achievements, his book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" is through the longevity formula and all existing phenomena and experiments, it can already be said to be a theorem, he subverted his own theorem this time, is actually right?"
"No matter how you test the speed of light, it is consistent, and from this experiment, it has been demonstrated that the speed of light is constant, and it has also been proved that the aether may not exist, at least the aether does not exist for the movement of light. ”
Looking at the experimental results released by Cheng Yi, the entire martial arts world went completely crazy.
It has long been believed that there is an absolutely stationary substance 'ether', that the ether is the medium through which everything operates, and that light travels in the ether.
Since the aether is stationary, and the earth rotates all the time, the velocity of the earth's surface relative to the aether should be different in all directions, and if the speed of light in the aether is constant, then the speed of light relative to us in all directions is also different. However, the experiment did not measure any changes in light in all directions, which means that the relative speed of light does not change regardless of the speed of the Earth.
The experimental result was zero, which was not a simple failure, which brought a serious reality to physics, and the principle of superposition of velocities failed.
The principle of superposition of velocities, which has been believed in for a long time, has suddenly been found to be wrong, and all physical theories based on this theory must also be wrong.
If there is no better, other reason to explain this phenomenon in this experiment, then the physics edifice that was absolutely correct in the past, that is, based on Qin Xianao's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", has been crumbling.
Do you really want to use Qin Xianao's absurd theory of relativity to explain all these phenomena?
When the results of the experiment came out, Qin Xianao didn't care what the people in the world thought, and on the third day, he announced the date of marrying Li Qingzhao in the "New Youth" newspaper.
"Qin Gongzi, I admit the results of Mr. Yi Chuan's experiment, but this does not mean anything, and I still have objections to your theory of relativity. ”
"Qin Gongzi, I can only say that you are very lucky, you won this experiment, as for whether you are qualified to be a monk of Nayi'an, I don't agree. ”
"Qin Gongzi, this theory of relativity is not reliable, let's think of another way. ”
Li Qingzhao is the first person in genetics, Qin Xianao is the first person in physics, the wedding banquet of the two, the big names in the martial arts world naturally can't help but come, but after coming, none of them are very convinced, if it weren't for the fact that it was not good to argue with Qin Xianao at the wedding banquet, they would have grabbed Qin Xianao and questioned them endlessly.
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Tingzhi's Shangrong faction redid Cheng Yi's light-speed experiment with many sect bosses of Shangrong's family, and the results were still the same as Cheng Yi's experiment.
A month later, Shen Du's experiment also found no aether.
Two months later, Ban Baiyun repeated Cheng Yi's experiment, and the results remained the same.
......
One by one, scholars in different places, at different times, repeated Cheng Yi's light-speed experiments many times, and used various means to verify the experimental results, although the accuracy is constantly improving, but the results are still sad.
Four months later, Sima Guang released the results of experiments on space-time curvature -- 3,600 high-altitude flight experiments at different times, in different places, and by different people, it was proved that when flying at the ultimate speed at high altitude, it is indeed easier to fly in a straight line than to walk in a curve.
This result once again caused a sensation, and even since everyone saw the general theory of relativity in "New Physics Foundations", there have been countless people, even those who specialize in martial arts, who are very unconvinced and disapproving of high-altitude extreme large-distance flight, walking in a straight line is not as labor-saving as a curve, so they personally did experiments and got the same answer as Sima Guang.
Sima Guang's experiments clearly proved the correctness of the curved space-time deduced from the general theory of relativity.
Of course, scholars still have a conservative view of this result.
Seven months later, Wang Anshi published 'Mercury's perihelion progression problem' in the newspaper, using general relativity to explain the remaining 43 seconds of Mercury's perihelion that cannot be explained by classical physics.
This undoubtedly re-verifies the curved space-time theory of general relativity from another aspect.
A year later, he worshiped under Liu Qin's Hongmei Academy, and Qian Habo, an outstanding disciple of Liu Qin, published an article in the newspaper that he found that the spectral lines of distant galaxies were redshifted, and the farther away the galaxy, the greater the redshift.
This conclusion caused another shock.
Chancellor's discovery illustrates that galaxies are moving away from us, and that the farther away we are, the faster they move away. This result is undoubtedly in line with the conclusion of the expansion of the universe derived from the general theory of relativity.
