Meet the principal

A genius can remember the address of this website in one second: (Dianping Chinese), the fastest updates! No ads!? World line? Light cone?

After becoming a high-level mage for so many years, Broly Augustine felt that for the first time he could not keep up with the progress. Although Reiner's statement combined with the moving light point demonstration was very intuitive, Augustine had to let Augustine know that he could not keep up with the progress. It’s still a little difficult to accept a brand new concept so quickly.

"To put it simply, your Excellencies, if we can clearly know the current position of a particle and its trajectory, then we can naturally deduce the position it will be in at any time in the past, present and future. This position When connected, it becomes a line, which is the world line of this particle. The world line points from the past to the future, and the specific coordinates are presented in real space."

Seeing that everyone was still a little confused, Reiner drew a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system. A point started from the origin and moved in one direction, showing a clear trajectory.

"For the convenience of understanding, we can not discuss the situation of real space and assume that there is a two-dimensional world with only a plane."

Reiner waved his hand, and the three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system suddenly became a plane rectangular coordinate system. A point moved in the plane and drew a curve.

"If we change the original vertical axis Z to time, then the trajectory of this point will show three-dimensional characteristics, and this will also appear in the three-dimensional coordinate system, but the axis of time is not what we see visually."

"You mean high-dimensional space?"

Lord Braggs looked at Reiner's demonstration and said in a low voice.

"It can be easily understood, Mr. Braggs. In fact, I prefer to call it Ingle space, because this is not simply a space with one more dimension than length, width and height, but a space-time composed of time and space. "

Reiner smiled, and then he carried out relevant calculations and demonstrations, deriving in detail the Ingle space and the way the world line is presented in the Ingle space.

"That could be a whole other paper, Reiner."

President Dmitri nodded slightly after listening to Reiner's derivation process.

"Ingle space is not an independent theory, but knowledge that is closely integrated with the theory of relativity. I thought you only solved the problem of the speed of light, but I didn't expect that you have subverted the entire concept of time and space of mankind since ancient times."

Whether time is not absolute, or the speed of light is insurmountable, whether it is Reiner's theory of relativity, or this weird but harmonious Inglese space, these are all contrary to people's past experience, intuition and common sense, but they have mathematical foundations. things.

After this meeting, the high-level mages present here have truly realized the importance of mathematics in learning magic. As people study more and more deeply in the field, magic will no longer be limited to things that people can see and touch. , whether it is macroscopic nebula changes or microscopic atomic gathering and dispersion, these are extremely difficult to directly observe with ordinary means, not to mention some extreme situations that cannot be achieved even in the future with current means. It is simply impossible to observe Experimentation, abstract thinking and mathematical logic will gradually become the mainstream of mages' research.

Perhaps this is what Reiner said before. Mathematicians are responsible for discovering formulas, while mages are responsible for finding their meaning.

"Now it seems that Alberton's three laws of motion are more like low-speed, macroscopic approximations of the motion described in the theory of relativity. At least in the movement of stars and most of the things we can come into contact with, these three laws It still applies.”

Lord Alberton let out a long sigh, with mixed emotions. He didn't know whether it was because his life's work was proven to be untrue, or because he was lamenting that the current magic system based on this did not need to experience a devastating earthquake.

But when the words came out of his mouth, it was indeed quite desolate and helpless.

Ludwig Stein remained silent, but there was already a huge storm in his heart.

Among the two dark clouds hanging over the magical world, the problem of black body radiation finally led people to understand light again from a microscopic perspective.

The issue of ether drift led the mages to redefine time and space from a macro perspective. These two seemingly completely different issues actually pointed to the same thing in the end.

Coupled with the proposal of the atomic nuclear structure model, the huge star movement is connected with the small atomic movement, which makes people endlessly daydream.

"We are in the worst era. The knowledge of the past thousands of years is falling apart. Experience and common sense are broken. If you are not careful, you will be left far behind by the rapid development of magic."

The stars and moon on the robe were shining brightly, Her Excellency Rumia Calvados said softly.

"But we are also in the best of times. Microscopic secrets can be glimpsed, macroscopic truths can be traced, and thousands of years of accumulation guide us towards the end of exploration."

Her words are also the sentiments of many people present. The mages are extremely uneasy because any discovery may subvert past knowledge and destroy the academic tower built over many years. However, at the same time, the mages are extremely looking forward to it because the two As the dark clouds dissipated, people took a major step forward in comparing both the micro and macro fields. The mages were closer to the truth they were seeking than ever before, and hope was within easy reach.

"It's just that, Reiner."

Lord Braggs spoke. He looked at Reiner, and his wise sea-blue eyes reflected the handsome face of the young mage.

"The content of the theory of relativity is too impactful for intermediate mages. This is different from the dispute between the wave theory and the particle theory of light. After all, that war cannot be separated from the categories of waves and particles. The concept of space and time in the theory of relativity, ruler shrinkage Effect and time dilation effect, if they are known to mid-level mages and some high-level mages without any foreshadowing, it is likely to cause a huge cognitive impact, cause a large-scale cognitive collapse, and thus trigger a real academic earthquake. .”

What he said was exactly what Reiner was thinking about. The subversion of the concept of time and space by the theory of relativity is not simply a further step, but a complete break and recombination. Words are extremely dangerous.

"So, although the High Council recognizes the correctness of the theory of relativity, my suggestion is that this theory and this paper will only be circulated among high-level mages for the time being and will not be published in any public academic journals until our theory gradually matures. Perfect and open to everyone step by step, what do you think?"

Lord Braggs's opinion was very reasonable and no one disagreed.

Reiner doesn't care about these reputations. He only has one idea in his mind now, which is to perfect the third equation as soon as possible.

Mass-energy equation.
