Meet the principal

After dinner, Reiner returned to his room, sat down at his desk, and finished reading the journals he had not finished reading during the day.

He saw that after Lord Alberton proposed a paper on the principle of relativity of laws, a silent debate quietly emerged.

This issue of "Truth" published a paper jointly published by Newington and Holland about the revision of the Newington-Holland equations in a non-ether environment, which was previously caused by the ether drift experiment. Another modification of the Newington-Holland equations that have been questioned.

In the paper, Mr. Newington mentioned a very key issue, that is, based on the description and calculation of the system of equations, they obtained the value of the speed of light to be close to 300,000 kilometers per second, and this value will not depend on the observation method. Or it changes when the reference frame changes.

When he saw this, there was a sound of footsteps behind Reiner, making him turn around.

Claire's hair is still a little wet. She is wearing a blue pajamas with a bear pattern and flannel slippers. She is holding a book in her hand. Even though she is wearing loose pajamas, Claire's figure is still vaguely visible. Can't look away.

"Why didn't you blow dry your hair? You could catch a cold easily."

When Reiner saw Claire with her hair disheveled, he put down the journal in his hand and stood up.

He asked Claire to sit on the bed, raised his hand, and a warm and strong wind burst out from his fingers, blowing towards Claire's long hair.

The long golden hair was slightly curled, blown by the hot wind, and raised slightly. Reiner spread the fingers of his other hand, gently loosened it and shook it constantly, so that every hair tip could be quickly dried.

Claire just sat obediently on the bed, putting her hands on her knees, letting Reiner do what she wanted.

You can smell a faint fragrance in the air, which is the fragrance of shampoo. Through the blond hair, Reiner can see the white back of Claire's neck. From the neck, Reiner can get a slight glimpse of the snow-white on her chest.

"Drying your hair is too much trouble."

Claire said that she felt Reiner's palms playing with her hair, but she felt extremely relieved and wanted to stay like this for a longer time.

"Then we can simply develop a magic prop that can dry automatically. It shouldn't be difficult to achieve."

Reiner said, gently stroking the ends of Claire's hair with his fingers, touching her back from time to time.

"By the way, Reiner, I heard Fina say today that you seem to have encountered a problem with the magic computer?"

Claire asked, she turned her head slightly and looked at Reiner sideways.

"Well, there are indeed some problems. To put it simply, the past understanding believed that the propagation of light is instantaneous, but now according to calculations, the propagation of light has a limit speed, and the signal transmission of the magic computer is essentially the same as The transmission of electromagnetic signals like light, which leads to problems with time alignment and signal accuracy."

Reiner explains in a way that Claire can understand as much as possible, but Claire, although her magic level is not high, will listen patiently to Reiner's explanation and try her best to understand.

"So, why is the speed of light limited? If we give it energy, wouldn't it be able to increase its speed all the time?"

Claire thought for a moment and asked.

Her question made Reiner stunned. He didn't expect Claire to find the essence of the problem in such a short time.

His silence made Claire curious, and she turned to face Reiner.

"What's wrong, Reiner?"

Claire tilted her head and looked at Reiner with wide violet eyes.

"No, your question is a good one."

Reiner smiled and gently touched Claire's head.

"The problem now is that the Newington-Holland equations, that is, the calculation results of the equations that describe the mutual transformation of electric fields and magnetic fields, show that the speed of light has a limit value, and it is this constant value in vacuum. This Value is fixed and cannot be surpassed no matter what reference system is used, that is, no matter what angle it is viewed from.”

Reiner waved his hand and used light to project two roughly constructed carriages in mid-air.

"Let me give you an example, like two carriages, if they are traveling towards each other at the same speed, although from the ground, the speed of the two carriages is still their own speed, but from one carriage to the other carriage Speed ​​should be the sum of the two. This is the difference in reference systems and the basis of our current motion system."

Claire watched the two carriages approaching and nodded.

"The reason for this phenomenon is that we believe that time exists independent of space and is a constant thing. The definition of speed is the distance an object moves per unit time, and relative speed is the distance moved relative to the reference system. , at the same time, all laws of motion are the same for moving or stationary objects. When time remains unchanged, the relative speed is naturally the sum of the speed of the object itself and the speed of the reference system itself."

Seeing that Claire was listening with interest, Reiner continued.

"But light is different. According to the description of the Newington-Holland equations, if two beams of light are emitted oppositely, then the speed of one beam of light when viewed from the other beam is not the sum of the speeds of the two beams of light. , and it is still the limit value, to be precise, it is close to 300,000 kilometers per second. Our past laws of motion fail at the speed of light."

"How can this be?"

Claire was a little surprised. This completely subverted her common sense. If she hadn't been exposed to many things that went beyond common sense with Reiner, Claire might have been shaken in her cognition.

"That's the paradox. The Newington-Holland equations prove this mathematically, but it goes against what we know in real life and goes against the laws of motion that have been true for so many years."

Reiner spread his hands, and the two carriages turned into particles and disappeared.

"To solve this problem, there are only two options. Either prove that the Newington-Holland equations are wrong, or prove that the laws of relative motion are wrong. For the wizard, both of these options are undoubtedly extremely difficult. And painful.”

"Then what does Reiner think?"

Claire raised her hand and gently touched Reiner's cheek.

"I more support Mr. Newington's view."

Reiner grabbed the hand and held it in his palm. Claire's small palm was soft and warm.

"After all, this is an answer based on mathematics. Many times, the things we see tend to deceive our eyes, but mathematics does not."

"Then you'll have to work hard."

Claire said, as if feeling tired for Reiner.

"It's okay, as long as you're here, it won't be hard."

Reiner's words made Claire blush with embarrassment and couldn't help but lower her head, but Reiner had already moved closer. ...
