“Two, two teachers, I have a question to ask you!”
Oheimer heard the two big guys say the same thing, and he was very curious, why were they so sure that fission must have happened?
“Ask, what’s the question?”
Einstein was in a good mood, so even if the other party was not his student, he was happy to answer his questions.
After all, young people always have a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge, which is a good thing for them, not a bad thing.
Moreover, being selected to participate in this experiment, even if he was just here to do odd jobs, it can be seen that his talent and talent are extraordinary, otherwise Planck, the stubborn old man, would have no reason to bring him!
This made Einstein curious about Oheimer. What advantages did Planck have in this guy?
“We have conducted so many experiments before, and the method just now has been successful dozens of times. Why did it fail here with uranium? What is the reason?”This is a good question. If we don’t understand this question, it will be impossible to carry out the next nuclear test!
Einstein and Planck looked at each other, and Planck made a gesture of invitation, giving this opportunity to Einstein, indicating that he should explain.
Einstein smiled kindly and accepted Planck’s kindness.
“Uranium is the element with the largest mass found in nature.
Other elements that rank lower than uranium only exist in laboratories and are difficult to preserve in the natural environment.
Therefore, these elements are only of experimental significance to us and have no practical value.
However, physics cannot just stay in scientific experiments.
Our experiments must contribute to social development.
Therefore, uranium, a heavy element found in nature, is the most suitable experimental subject!
”
Einstein explained the reason for choosing uranium as the experimental subject, which solved a doubt in Oheimer’s mind.
“So, what is so special about uranium? Why didn’t the bombardment just now create transuranium atoms? Why did both teachers think it was fission instead of decay?”
Oheimer’s question made Einstein’s eyes light up. This young man learned very quickly!
His last question went straight to the core of this nuclear test!
“This is what the next experiment will verify. Don’t be anxious, take your time!”
Einstein did not immediately explain Oheimer’s question, but gestured to Lise and Otto in the laboratory, indicating that the next experiment should be carried out!
The two nodded and began to repeat the experiment!
However, this time they added non-radioactive barium and used non-radioactive barium as a marker to detect and measure the presence of radioactive radium.
If the reaction just now was uranium decaying into radium, then barium would be detected.
However, the result of the experiment was very surprising. When they bombarded the uranium nucleus with protons, they failed to detect radium, but detected much more barium than the barium they put into the experiment!
This shows that the uranium element did not decay, because no radium was born, it fissioned, because new barium was born!
This experimental result proves the possibility of uranium fission and determines the way to make it fission!
“Now, do you understand?”
Einstein said to Oheimer with a smile, and the latter nodded repeatedly!
As expected of the smartest and most powerful scientific team in the world, their experiments are seamless from theory to experiment, without any loopholes!
It is a great blessing to be able to study with these top scientists!
Oheimer made up his mind to study hard and strive to catch up with these big guys as soon as possible!
……
The first nuclear test went very smoothly in the laboratory stage. With the superb skills of Lise and Otto, this series of experiments failed without any failure and all succeeded!
Of course, the reason for the success is inseparable from the targeted deductions and assumptions made by the top bosses on the scene before the experiment began. The possible situations during the experiment have been deduced dozens of times in their brains!
Of course, this is also inseparable from the suggestions given by Mainz before.
Thinking of this, Einstein was very shocked.
When he heard these suggestions from Mainz, he was quite disapproving in his heart. How could a soldier and a politician understand the most cutting-edge nuclear physics in physics?
So he felt that all the words Mainz said could be thrown aside and had no value!
However, when they started the experiment, they were surprised to find that all the experimental results confirmed Mainz’s previous speculation!
No, this can no longer be called speculation. It is more like a kind of guidance, a kind of guidance given from the perspective of God!
If he was not born knowing, how could he know so much?
Oheimer didn’t know that while he envied the intelligence of Einstein and others, who seemed to know everything, these top scientists were shocked by the talent of their president!
Compared with them, Mainz was the one who really stood at the top!
“Could it be that Newton was right?”
Fermi, who liked to think and ask all kinds of strange and tricky questions, suddenly said something out of the blue.
“What?”
Schrödinger next to him was stunned. He didn’t know what Fermi meant.
What Newton was right?
Newton was praised by later physicists as the greatest physicist. He proposed many theories.���Having established Newton’s three laws, many of his statements are of course correct!
Is there anything wrong with this?
“No, I’m not talking about Newton’s contribution to physics!”
Fermi was very smart. When he saw Schrödinger’s expression, he immediately saw through his thoughts.
“So what are you talking about?”
Schrödinger was quite straightforward, not as cunning as Fermi, so he asked without thinking too much!
“”Haha, think about it, what did Newton do in his later years?”
Fermi said with a smile. Schrödinger was stunned for a moment, and thought about it. Newton spent a lot of time and energy in his later years studying an illusory God. In order to prove the existence of God, he almost abandoned all his career and research. As a result, in his later years, Newton became a great charlatan. Not only did he fail to prove the existence of God, but he also ruined his own reputation!
What does Fermi mean by mentioning Newton’s later years?
“I have always wondered that it is incredible that a man as smart as Newton would believe that God exists, don’t you think?”
Fermi said with emotion, Schrödinger nodded, it is a bit incredible, God obviously cannot exist, why did Newton believe it so firmly?
“That’s because he must have seen God with his own eyes!”
Fermi said confidently, and now Schrödinger’s expression became surprised!
“Are you okay? You don’t have a fever, do you?”
Schrödinger reached out and touched Fermi’s forehead, thinking that his good friend must have been confused by the fever!
How could he say such a stupid thing?
Could it be that he had also become Newtonian and turned into a charlatan like Newton?
“I’m fine, don’t touch me, I’m not gay!”
Fermi slapped Schrödinger’s hand away in disgust, and then said seriously:”I used to be very skeptical about the existence of God, but now I believe it!”
“Why?”
Seeing his friend still insisting, Schrödinger became more and more puzzled. What on earth made Fermi, such a smart man, suddenly become stupid?
“Because of President Mainz!”
“Don’t you think that he is almost omniscient and omnipotent? Doesn’t this prove that God really exists?”
