In August 1900, the German mathematician Hilbert gave a famous lecture entitled "Mathematical Problems" at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, proposing 23 major problems that were urgently faced by the mathematics community in the new century. The fourth of them was : "A straight line is the shortest distance between two points."
Many people think this question is too general, "The shortest line segment between two points" is the first axiom of junior high school geometry. Do you still need to doubt it? But having said that, now that even the question "1+1=?" can be asked, it is understandable to doubt the axiom.
But someone took out a piece of paper and randomly clicked two points on the two symmetrical corners. It seemed that the shortest distance was the diagonal line. However, when the paper is rolled up and the two corners are pinched together, the distance at this time is infinitely close to 0.
By extension, there is the theory of "space-time tunnel".
time Tunnel?
When a blossoming life was about to unfold in front of Sun Yuanqi, he was not willing to stay in the late Qing Dynasty and suffer. Let alone the success or failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Rebellion, the Revolution of 1911, the Northern Expedition, the Eight-Year War of Resistance, and the War of Liberation were short-lived. After the beautiful spring of the Communist Party of China, it was another three-year anti-rightist campaign, five anti-rightist campaigns, three years of natural disasters, and special periods before it was time for reform and opening up. By the time we were able to live a moderately prosperous life, we had all turned into ashes and dregs. Perhaps, "there is no such thing as dregs." .
I took out my mobile phone, but there was still no signal. It was already 9:40.
"Hurry in, maybe you can make it back in time for the interview at ten o'clock!" Sun Yuanqi thought to himself. Regardless of the gatekeeper's expression, he rushed in and walked back along the way he had just come out, thinking: "Maybe I can go back this way."
The shade of the trees in the courtyard is still dark, but the cicadas are noisier than before. The weather was getting hotter, and as I was walking in a hurry, I had taken off my suit jacket and put it on my arm. The collar was also torn open and the tie was crooked to the side. He looked somewhat frustrated.
When he stood at the door of the Horse Temple for the fifth time, it was already 12 noon. Sun Yuanqi was certain of the fact: he could not go back, and he would not be able to catch up with the key interview.
Sun Yuanqi felt angry and felt that he really had nothing to do, why was he wandering around the Horse Racing Temple? It would be great to go directly to Wucheng Middle School! Seeing the stone lion beside the door, he stepped forward and kicked it hard. After kicking him, he hugged his feet and only gasped for air conditioning: This is nothing but a slap in the face!
The old man guarding the door had been looking at him for a long time from morning to now, and now he came up to him again: "Tell me, why do you Japanese come to our Qing Dynasty to teach?"
Sun Yuanqi was unhappy. When he heard this, he immediately jumped to his feet and cursed: "You are the Japanese! Your whole family is Japanese!"
The old man frowned and said slowly: "Japanese? We don't care about them! We are serious bannermen." After saying that, he slowly walked back to the gatehouse to enjoy the cool air.
With this shouting, Sun Yuanqi realized a big problem. He had a short haircut and was wearing a suit. The standard Qing men now wear braids and long gowns. Rong Hong came back from studying in the United States, wearing a suit and wearing a fake pigtail. As for Dr. Sun, who dared to poke holes in the Qing Dynasty, although he had shaved his head, he did not dare to return to China while abroad. Nowadays, the only people who dare to blatantly shave off their yellow skin in the land of the Qing Dynasty are the Japanese.
Although the old man was the first person Sun Yuanqi met in the Qing Dynasty, and he was his great-great-grandfather in terms of seniority, he was too embarrassed to stay on top of others after quarreling with him. Along the dirt road, I moved forward step by step, feeling somewhat resigned to my fate.
At noon, the early summer sun was also very hot, and after a whole morning of tossing, I was so hungry that my heart was pressed against my back.
On the borders of the Qing Dynasty, there were neither ATMs nor credit cards, and RMB could not be used. Now Sun Yuanqi was really penniless. Occasionally, when you pass by a few swarthy Lifu, you can hear them muttering in a low voice: "Little Japan!"
After listening to it for a few times, Sun Yuanqi's thoughts became vivid. Since others say that I am a foreigner, then I will go to a foreign embassy or consulate for a meal! In Sun Yuanqi's mind, he thought like this: If you go to a Chinese restaurant to eat and arouse righteous indignation without paying, you will be in trouble. Who knows if the Boxer Rebellion has set up a branch in Beijing now, and their slogan is "Support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries" "The ones who are to be killed are foreign devils, and they will inevitably suffer the same fate as the fish in the pond." Foreign embassies and consulates are more or less modern and civilized, and I can still get close to them.
As for which embassy to go to, there is no doubt that it is the American embassy. Although he was mistaken for a Japanese, who doesn't know the hatred between China and Japan? Besides, I don¡¯t know Japanese. I don¡¯t know anything else except ¡°yameide¡± and ¡°sayonara¡±, so it¡¯s easy for me to reveal my secret. CET-6 for graduate students comes in handy at this time. Why not go to England but to America? It's very simple. England, which learned American English and was intoxicated with itself in the afterglow of the empire where the sun never sets, has always been interested in exudingA poor man doesn't look like a bad person.
"Yes, sir." Sun Yuanqi also blushed a little. This was a behavior similar to begging, plus lies. His integrity was tied with countless bows at this moment. "If sir, you can let me make a statement if you are free." Let¡¯s talk about my predicament.¡±
At this time, the old woman brought two cups of coffee, one of which was cappuccino. Sun Yuanqi bowed slightly and said "thank you".
"It's a great honor." Conger said with a smile, "Maybe before that, you can introduce yourself."
"I'm really sorry. My Chinese name is Sun Yuanqi. When I was in the United States, my friends usually called me yorkjohnson." This name was actually given to him by a foreign teacher when he was taking English classes. "My father is a naval officer. I studied in the UK for a period of time and was very fascinated by Western technology and culture. When I was very young, I was sent to the United States as a young child studying in the United States. A few days ago, when I returned to China, I learned that my father was involved in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. I was killed in a naval battle four years ago, and I don¡¯t know where my mother and brother went after that. The house was leaking and it rained all night. Not long ago, my luggage was snatched away by a group of mobs - they thought I was Japanese Man. Now I have no money, so I have to ask for your help."
"I'm sorry to hear your story." Conger's face could not be seen clearly through the heat of the coffee, "How can I help you?"
Sun Yuanqi lowered his head together. On the one hand, he was hiding the shame of lying, and on the other hand, he was also a little sad. He had no parents, relatives, girlfriend, teachers or classmates in this world, so he was indeed helpless. After listening to Mr. Conger's words, I thought, I can't just ask someone to borrow money just by meeting. It's better to find a job to make a living. Suddenly, I remembered what the short old man said today, Sun Jia Nai wanted to set up the Capital University, and he had an idea in his mind: "That's it, sir. I originally heard that China was going to reform, so I rushed to Beijing and wanted to join the soon-to-be-established Capital University. I want to be a teacher in the school. Now that I have lost my diploma and certificate, I would like to ask you to write a letter of recommendation"
"You mean, you got your degree in the United States?" Conger was surprised.
"Yes, a master's degree in physics from Yale University." Sun Yuanqi is very familiar with American universities, but it is not clear which school recruits Chinese students. He had to close his eyes and choose randomly among his favorites: Yale, MIT, and Princeton. One already.
"That's really surprising." Conger was indeed frightened by the news. "I'd rather ask, how old are you?"
"23 years old, sir." Sun Yuanqi answered truthfully.
"You look very young, I thought you were only 18 years old." Kangge put down the coffee cup and stared at Sun Yuanqi for a while.
"Maybe it's because I drank milk and ate bread since I was a child." Sun Yuanqi answered truthfully.
"Are you very interested in physics? I mean, which part of physics are you more interested in?" After this period of conversation, Conger actually did not doubt Sun Yuanqi's background in studying in the United States, but for his "Master of Physics" ", but had huge doubts.
This was one of the rare truths that Sun Yuanqi had, so he calmly replied: "I am most interested in atomic physics, which is a brand-new knowledge. As you know, now humans have almost no understanding of the microstructure of matter. They know nothing. Four years ago, the physicist Michelson said in a speech: 'Most of the important basic principles have been firmly established.' The famous physicist Kelvin also said: 'The 19th century has The physics building has been completely completed, and from now on physicists will only modify and perfect this building.' But in the past few years, scholars have successively discovered x-rays, radiation and cathode rays, which means that there are still many unknown things waiting for us to discover. Exploration, such as"
Sun Yuanqi talked non-stop for nearly half an hour. During this half hour, he tried hard not to mention any discoveries of the 20th century, but also used as common language as possible to describe the atom to a diplomat with a military background. Some interesting phenomena in physics are really confusing. The result of this half hour was that Mr. Conger began to believe that the person opposite him was indeed someone who had done physics research in the United States. Others were still half-convinced.
I looked up at the sun outside the window. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. From morning to now, I have been running around and only drank one cup of coffee. I am so hungry that my stomach feels like it is melting.
We have to worry about dinner and accommodation later! Thinking of this, Sun Yuanqi sighed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
