Chapter 1656 1658 [Einstein]
Xiang Nan heard the news that Ding Li had become a new generation tycoon in Hujiang, half a year later.
After he came to the United States, in order to understand the news of China, he would ask someone to bring the newspapers there. However, in the 1930s, transportation was inconvenient, and it took half a year to go back and forth, so the delay was still very large.
Xiang Nan was not surprised by Ding Li's superior position.
Because he knew that Ding Li was very ambitious and resourceful.
In the play, he has become a Hujiang tycoon from having nothing. It can be seen that he is still capable. However, Xiang Nan is not optimistic about his fate.
The reason is very simple. If the earthen jar cannot be separated from the mouth of the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. Those who are in the rivers and lakes are equivalent to stepping into the gate of **** with one leg. Either to kill or to be killed.
Ding Li's prototype is the former Hujiang tycoon Du Yuesheng. He was also a fruit seller. He was appreciated by another Hujiang tycoon, Huang Jinrong, who helped him start a business. Later, he became more and more powerful.
But even if Du Yuesheng is so beautiful, the final ending is embarrassing. Before liberation, he fled to Xiangjiang and died in poverty. He also understands the reason himself, they are like chamber pots, they are used when they are in use, and they stink when they are thrown under the bed when they are used up.
Ding Li is undoubtedly the same.
So, even if Feng Jingyao passed on an inheritance of tens of millions, Xiang Nan would not be so rare. Because he didn't want to be this chamber pot.
…
In 1933, Hitler was elected Chancellor of Germany and began his terrifying Farssis rule. Coupled with the Italian Prime Minister Mussolini who was all in one with him, the whole of Europe and even the whole world are shrouded in the fog of war.
Therefore, in such a horrible atmosphere, many people want to choose to leave Europe and come to the United States.
Among them, there is Einstein, the world's top scholar. He also received an invitation from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton to come here to conduct his scientific research.
Xiang Nan met him officially because of this.
Before, although the two had debates on academic issues such as the Big Bang, quantum mechanics, and weak electric unified field theory, they all fought through the media.
Now, the two finally officially meet.
"Hello, Mr. Einstein, it's really an honor to meet you!" Xiang Nan smiled and shook hands.
"Mr. Xu, hello, I am also very glad to meet you." Einstein also smiled, "I have read all your works, and they have really inspired me a lot."
"Thank you, I made these achievements based on your research." Xiang Nan smiled.
Einstein is the founder of modern physics. The theory of relativity, the photoelectric effect, quantum mechanics, the law of conservation of energy... these are all created by him.
It can be said that without him, modern physics can hardly exist. For this reason, together with Galileo and Newton, he is known as the greatest physicist in history.
"You are too modest." Einstein smiled, "Many of your theories are far ahead of me. I actually still don't understand the "Gauge Theory of Strong Interactions", and I want to ask you for advice .”
"Okay, let's discuss together." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Originally, Xiang Nan was in front of others, but he was not. But it can't be helped that he is a time traveler, and he has inherited the knowledge of Rajesh Kusapari and Qian Sanyi, and has accumulated hundreds of years ahead of the current technology.
Therefore, on this point alone, Einstein is actually inferior to Xiang Nan.
After all, there is a difference of more than a hundred years of knowledge.
Therefore, when discussing academic issues with Einstein, Xiang Nan not only did not stare straight at the question, but also had something to say, which was to the point, thought-provoking, and really gave Einstein a lot inspiration.
Especially in Unified Field Theory. Einstein wanted to unify gravitational force, electromagnetic force, strong interaction force and weak interaction force.
But the difficulty is too great. Even in the twenty-first century, unified field theory is far from complete. The closest thing to a unified field theory is string theory.
Sheldon in "The Big Bang Theory" studies string theory. In the play, he and Amy also won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their super asymmetry theory.
Xiang Nan also has a certain understanding of string theory.
Therefore, he talked to Einstein about this aspect, which gave Einstein a lot of inspiration.
"Xu, you are the smartest person I've ever met." He couldn't help but praise, he really learned a lot with Xiang Nan.
"Don't praise me so much, I'm just lucky enough to stand on the shoulders of giants." Xiang Nan waved his hand modestly.
This knowledge was indeed not learned by himself, but a gift from others. Therefore, although he knows more than Einstein, he has nothing to show off.
Just like every high school student now knows more about physics than Newton and Galileo. But that doesn't mean you can be arrogant.
"You really changed my perception of Chinese people." Einstein nodded.
He went to China in 2022, but he didn't have a good impression of the Chinese people, thinking they were hardworking, dirty and dull. But now, Xiang Nan's performance has completely reversed his bad impression of the Chinese people.
Among the people he met, there has never been anyone as smart, astute, and charming as Xiang Nan. It can be said that he is simply a genius among geniuses.
When Xiang Nan went online before, he also saw some posts about Einstein discriminating against Chinese people.
To be honest, it can't be entirely his fault. After all, in that era, racial discrimination was more popular in European and American countries. Einstein was also a person in the general environment, and it is difficult for his insight to go beyond this era.
Furthermore, the Chinese people at that time were indeed relatively ignorant, feudal, and backward. Even Chinese writers wrote novels and essays to criticize.
It is not an exaggeration to say that you will be beaten if you fall behind.
"Actually, Chinese people have always been very smart. Our Chinese civilization has always been the most brilliant, dazzling, and leading in human history. However, in the past hundred years, because of closed-door policy and blind arrogance, it has become backward. some.
Dr. But, just wait and see. In less than a hundred years, China will return to the position of a world-class power. Our technology and culture will also attract the attention of the world again. Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I am very confident about this." "
"Oh? Do you have any basis?" Einstein seemed to believe it or not.
Because the China he visited was very backward, very poor, and was carved up by the great powers. It has become a semi-colonial country, and it is almost difficult to stand up again.
"Because the spirit of our Chinese civilization is hard work and self-improvement." Xiang Nan explained with a smile, "It is also a big flood, and your choice is to build a big ship. Our choice is to open up rivers, cast dams, The floods were carried into the sea."
