Fox of France

　　 Joseph was not too concerned about winning or losing the gambling game against Napoleon. He remembered that in the movies about Napoleon he had seen in his previous life, Napoleon had contributed to the French Academy of Sciences. It seems that Napoleon wrote an essay on the analysis of social issues, and it fell to the ground after it was cast. Therefore, Joseph felt that he was at least unlikely to lose this bet.

　　 But for this paper, I still need to prepare carefully. If it is a normal research, the first thing that needs to be done is naturally an experiment. But for Joseph who came through, this matter can be slowed down. The first thing he needs to prepare is to prepare some mathematical tools for the following arguments and calculations.

　　 In this way, the problem becomes more complicated, because the two to three decades from the 1870s to the beginning of the 19th century saw a great leap in mathematics, especially French mathematics. During this period of time, France has produced a series of mathematicians who have made Joseph even take a breath of breath and frightened his heart. Even if he became a traverser, as long as he thought of them, Joseph immediately remembered the fear of being dominated by Fourier, Laplace, and Lagrange, and a cold breath rose from his tailbone. Cool to the back of the neck. Fresnel's ability to perfectly explain double-slit diffraction is also inseparable from the achievements of these great and terrifying guys. If you want to directly copy Fresnel's argument, you will almost have to make several key mathematical breakthroughs first.

"This is really,'In order to solve the North Korean problem, we need to solve Manchuria; in order to solve the Manchurian problem, we need to solve China; to solve the Chinese problem, we need to solve the United States.” When did my approach become like those The Showa staff who has no brains habit to solve a small problem by creating a bigger problem?" Joseph couldn't help but mock himself. But considering the historical influence of this experiment, under the influence of vanity, Joseph still intends to write this. Of course, as long as possible, he still has to use the existing mathematical methods to solve the problem as much as possible. In principle, this is not unfeasible, but the whole argumentation process will be very cumbersome and cumbersome. It's like a problem that can be calculated by multiplication, but you just want to change it into addition.

　　 As a result, after trying for a few days, Joseph found that if you really want to completely bypass these mathematical tools that have not yet appeared, I am afraid that more space will be needed.

　　 "Some necessary mathematical tools must still be developed, otherwise, we can't really use addition to calculate multiplication." Joseph thought.

　　 It took nearly a month to bypass some high-level tools with relatively cumbersome means, and by the way, after inventing some "low-level" tools, Joseph finally completed his thesis. Looking at the paper, which was as thick as a book, Joseph nodded with satisfaction: "Finally, he succeeded in reducing the length by half. A paper has not only breakthroughs in physics, but also mathematics. Breakthrough, this is a great value experience. The only pity is that I didn’t get real-world feedback."

　　 Joseph transcripted another copy of this paper, and sent one of them. The other one was shown to Amon.

As soon as he saw the large number of mathematical symbols in the paper, Amon frowned: "Joseph, I said what have you been up to during this time? It turns out that you are doing this. Well, I was in front of this. You can barely understand, you think light should be a wave, not a particle—this is not the same as Sir Newton’s view. Your experiment is also very interesting. I can recognize all the symbols behind these things. , But what does it mean to put it together, to be honest, I don't understand at all. Of course...you shouldn't show me this thing, should it be shown to my uncle?"

　　 "Yes," Joseph said, "I want to hear Mr. Lavoisier's comment on this."

　　 "Well, good, tomorrow is Sunday, I will bring this paper to him to see."

　　……

　　 "Good morning, Mr. Lavoisier, do you need anything?" A waiter hurriedly opened the door and said to Lavoisier, a member of the French Academy of Sciences, a famous chemist.

　　 "Ah, Mabeuf, is Mr. Laplace here today?" Lavoisier asked as he handed his cane to the waiter.

　　 "Yes, Mr. Lavoisier, Mr. Laplace is in his office." The waiter replied.

　　 "Very good, please send me a pot of black tea to his office in a moment." Lavoisier said as he walked along the corridor and strode towards Laplace's office on the left.

　　 "Okay sir, I'll bring it to you right away."

　　 Lavoisier walked to the door of Laplace's office, reached out his hand and knocked on the door lightly, there was no sound inside. Lavoisier smiled slightly and knocked on the door softly, but there was still no sound inside.

　　 Lavoisier pushed the door slightly, and it opened. He walked in and saw Laplace sitting at his desk, head down, shaking his quill, and calculating something. His desk was littered with used manuscript paper.

　　 Lavoisier didn't speak, but just walked over, pulled a chair, sat down opposite Laplace's desk, and waited quietly.

　　 At this time, Ma Baifu walked in with a pot of black tea.

　　 "Ah, Ma Baifu, just put it here and pour me a glass." Lavoisier said.

　　 Ma Baifu put the teapot on the table next to him, poured another cup of tea, and gave it to Lavoisier.

　　 "Well, it's okay here. You can leave." Lavoisier took the tea and said with a smile.

　　 Ma Baifu bowed slightly, walked out gently, and gently closed the door.

　　 Lavoisier was drinking tea while watching Laplace calculate; and Laplace never looked up, he never noticed a person sitting across from his desk.

　　 After a while, Laplace put the quill pen in his hand into the ink bottle again, but then he failed to write the numbers on the manuscript paper as he wished-the ink in the ink bottle ran out.

　　 "Damn it! I should change to a bigger ink bottle." Laplace said, looking up and spotting Lavoisier sitting across the table.

　　 "Mr. Lavoisier, why are you here? How long have you been here?" Laplace asked.

　　 For a long time, Laplace has been working as an assistant to Lavoisier. Together, they measured the specific heat of many substances. In 1780, the two of them proved that the heat required to decompose a compound into its constituent elements is equal to the heat released by these elements when forming the compound. This can be seen as the beginning of thermochemistry, and it is also another milestone in the advancement of the law of conservation of energy following Braque’s work on latent heat. So the relationship between the two is quite good.

　　 "Ah, I've been here for a while. Why, I think you seem to be checking that ‘Bonaparte spot’?"

"Yes, Mr. Lavoisier." Laplace stood up and said, "Have you already read that paper? This is really counterintuitive. But, **** it, UU read www.uukanshu.com. I can actually observe it in the experiment... which means that if his whole derivation is okay, then the light must really be a kind of wave. Well, Hook will be rolling in the grave with joy."

Lavoisier said: "Yes, I have read that paper, I read it yesterday morning. This paper is my nephew who loves art, um, you met him, one of his It was written by a classmate named Joseph Bonaparte. He passed this paper to me through Amon. I have to say that although the conclusions of this paper are somewhat uncommon sense, the two experiments are really impressive . Especially the'Bonaparte spot'. Well, I want to come to this young man to vote this paper to the Academy of Sciences, wanting to get a bonus. Well, not to mention the other, just two experiments, I think it is worth it Six hundred francs, or more."

　　 "The few mathematical tools he created in this paper alone are worth it." Laplace said, "However, this conclusion is only a wave, and many people are afraid it will be difficult to accept."

"Unacceptable? Just because Sir Newton said light is particles?" Lavoisier said disapprovingly, "Aristotle has a lot of mistakes. Is Sir Newton the pope who never makes mistakes? But you know , I always have a lot of things. And there are too many mathematical calculations in this paper. Although he has made some tricks, the amount of calculations is still too large. I also have my research, so I just verified it yesterday His experiment, and then looked at his argument in general. As for the specific mathematical details, I have not had time to study carefully. You know, in mathematics, I am inferior to you, and if it comes to the speed of calculation, the world On, I don’t think anyone is stronger than you. So I’m going to ask you to verify it carefully. I didn’t expect you to already do this.
