Meet the principal

The first paper was published by the High Mage of the Storm Council, Surrey Newington. He and his collaborator Clark Holland jointly proposed the Newington-Holland equations, describing the relationship between electric field and The mutual conversion of magnetic fields proves that light is an electromagnetic wave.

But the Newington-Holland equations have also been put to the test recently. The ether drift experiment jointly designed and conducted by the six-ring mage Pruss Strenor and the five-ring mage Newark Hartford showed that either it has always been The believed magic medium ether does not exist at all, or the earlier theory of planets orbiting the earth is incorrect. This experiment directly challenges the Newington-Holland equation. People are also worried, fearing that this time-honored discovery will eventually be overturned.

Mr. Newington came here to solve this problem this time.

He gave a new interpretation of the Newington-Holland equation, which is an explanation that is independent of the medium of ether. Mr. Newington believed that the propagation of light does not require other media and can propagate normally even in a vacuum. , he conducted a series of experiments to prove that whether there is ether or not, it will not affect the propagation process of light.

This explanation obviously separates the Newington-Holland equation from the ether theory, and can be extended to magic. Magic does not need a medium to propagate. Mr. Newington even made a bold assumption that magic It is also an electromagnetic wave.

This hypothesis caused everyone present to take a breath. The debate on the nature of light has not yet been settled. Mr. Newington actually raised another more fundamental question, that is, what is the nature of magic.

In most descriptions, magic is a substance like water flow, the lake of heart, the sea of ​​magic. These names all prove that the shape of magic is like airflow or water flow, and the essence of water is countless water molecules. Therefore, many mages believe that the essence of magic is also tiny energy quanta.

But Mr. Newington extended his theory from electromagnetic waves and believed that magic is also a kind of wave, which subverted many people's perceptions.

Fortunately, this is just a guess. People are shocked but also remain skeptical. Otherwise, they may see some mages with unstable knowledge of the world having accidents at the venue.

In the audience, the reactions of the high-level mages were inconsistent.

Some people are thinking deeply, trying to find something from Mr. Newington's theory that can inspire their own research. Others disagree, thinking that this is just trying to fix the problem, and that the wave theory of light will eventually be overturned.

Reiner noticed that Lord Cornwall Penzance on one side had a solemn expression and was staring closely at Newington on the rostrum.

At first, he thought it was because Lord Penzance insisted on the particle theory of light, so he was unhappy, but Lord Field explained softly.

"Newington was originally Lord Penzance's only student, but the two broke up thirty years ago due to a dispute about the nature of light. Newington also left the Mercury Scale, switched to the elemental system, and joined the Storm Council. Over the past thirty years, , His Excellency Penzance has never admitted another student."

"what a pity."

Reiner glanced at Lord Penzance again and sighed softly.

His only student has become his biggest opponent and has extraordinary academic achievements. From the perspective of Lord Penzance, should he be happy or sad?

After the publication of Mr. Newington's paper, it was the question time for some magicians. Some magicians from the particle school raised sharp doubts, believing that Newington's theory was not supported by experimental data. In this regard, Mr. Newington also said that My current level is indeed insignificant.

The law provides proof.

Some masters believe that instead of assuming that the propagation of light does not require a medium, it is better to think that light itself is a medium, such as a particle. The particles naturally do not need other material assistance to propagate in a vacuum. This is a very constructive question, New York Although Mr. Inton is the mainstay of the wave theory, he has also thought deeply about this issue and did not deny it immediately.

While the mages were having a heated discussion, the reporters on the side were also writing on-the-spot reports quickly, with quills flying and the words sent to the newspaper headquarters through the address book.

"...Lord Newington's new theory repairs the loopholes in the Newington-Holland equation caused by the ether drift theory, and conducts divergent thinking on the nature of magic, believing that magic and light There is also no need for media transmission..."

Hall organized the words while reporting the situation at the scene. He didn't even have time to digest what Mr. Newington said. If he could calm down and think carefully, he would be shocked by the subversive thinking contained in it. However, For Hall now, all theories are just words of reports. There are two quills floating around him. One faithfully records the speech of Lord Newington and the dialogue during the question and answer time, and the other is Hall himself summarized the streamlined report.

On the other side of the Rainbow Tower, at the headquarters of the Rainbow Tower Prophet Weekly, the editor-in-chief Flagg was staring at the words in the address book.

"Mr. Newington lived up to his reputation. He actually repaired the loopholes in the ether part of the equations. In this way, the wave theory of light once again gained a foothold."

Flagg himself was an elemental mage, so he was naturally closer to Newington of the Council of Storms and more supportive of the wave theory. After all, there was no other evidence for the particle theory except for a photoelectric effect that had not been explained clearly.

He quickly copied the text from the address book and gave it to the editor next to him to modify the wording. When the article was completed, it was immediately sent to the printing department for typesetting, preparing to release the news immediately after the meeting.

News is all about new news. Whoever publishes it first will increase the sales of newspapers and at the same time drive subscriptions to subsequent newspapers. Especially this high-level parliament is a great opportunity to seize the market. Not only are these big newspapers going all out, Small newspapers that usually have little influence are also rushing to get ahead, hoping to reverse the decline.

Here at the venue, Mr. Newington's announcement has ended. The second high-level mage to announce is a high-level astrology mage from the Star Observation Tower. His research is that the spectra of some galaxies will shift. This is an area that has not been touched upon by predecessors. Unfortunately, Mr. Newington's paper is too surprising and is a current hot topic, so in comparison, Mr. Newington's paper is a bit bleak.

Ten papers were published quickly, and the most impressive one was the first one, by Lord Newington.

But people are also more curious about the content of the eleventh paper that was temporarily added at the end.

Because so far, except for Mr. Newington's repair paper on the Newington-Holland equations, no other paper has been able to end the war between the wave theory and the particle theory as rumored. Therefore, This last paper is even more exciting.

In the bright conference hall, on the rostrum under the spotlight, a man slowly walked to the front of the stage. After saluting everyone, he smiled slightly and said.

"Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, hello, my name is Rainer Ingle."

Hearing his self-introduction, many mages took a breath.
