Into Unscientific Chapter 273

  “.To sum up, if the direction of Σ takes the lower side, T also changes to the opposite direction accordingly.”

  "Then both ends of the above formula change signs at the same time, so the above formula still holds."

  In the classroom, Stokes wrote the conclusion of the derivation process on the blackboard, and threw away the chalk neatly.

   looked up at the clock behind him, and said:

   "OK, everyone, our math class will end here first."

   "One last thing to inform, because Professor Bolton of Modern History is going to have a life-and-death duel with a nobleman, so tomorrow's Modern History will be replaced by a handicraft class."

   "Professor Pétain from Gaul is in charge of the handicraft class. The content is the seven weaving methods of the white flag. Please remember to make relevant preparations."

   "The hall can be dismissed now, goodbye everyone."

   As soon as the voice fell, the students below shouted in unison:

   "Goodbye, Professor Stokes!"

  Stokes nodded calmly, packed up his courseware and left the classroom.

   With Stokes gone.

  The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly relaxed.

  Some students just picked up their books and left, while others made appointments in twos and threes where to study or meet.

  Because his father, George Beadle Alley, missed the opportunity to discover Neptune, Hubert Airy still had no one around him, and he seemed a little lonely.

  But these days, he has gradually accepted and adapted to this situation.

  In fact, Hubert Airy was more worried about the pressure on his father than his own situation.

  George Biddle Airy is currently the director of the Royal Greenwich Observatory and Hubert Airy's most admired idol.

   Not long ago.

  A big man suddenly approached his father, and hinted in words that the observatory's equipment was aging and that a new batch of instruments could be considered.

  However, George Biddle Airy believed that the observatory's equipment could still operate normally, and hoped that the relevant funds would be used for scientific research and the welfare of employees, so he rejected the other party's "good intentions".

  The big man at that time was not very dissatisfied, and after a conversation, he politely chose to leave.

  But it was less than half a month after that person left.

  Some media picked up their pens again and criticized George Biddle Alley's mistakes in the verification process of Neptune.

   thinks that he gave up the glory that should belong to the British Empire to outsiders, which is an extremely serious dereliction of duty.

   Some media believe that George Biddle Alley should be removed from office.

  Some radical media have even suggested that George Biddle Alley be investigated and suspected that he may be involved in some espionage activities.

  Under the instigation of these media, many civilians also began to express their dissatisfaction.

  Although the royal family did not listen to public opinion at will, and George Biddle Alley seemed calm on the surface, no one can tell how this matter will develop in the future.

  In the long history of Britain, even the royal family has many examples of being coerced by public opinion.

   Just when Hubert Airy was a little worried, a slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him:

   "Student Airy, are you free now?"

  Hubert Airy paused while he was arranging the books, turned around, and found himself standing beside him

   "Student Luo Feng?"

  But soon he came back to his senses, and quickly replied:

   "Of course I'm free, student Luo Feng, what do you want?"

  Xu Yun didn't make any excuses, nodded sharply, and said:

   "I want to talk to you about something, let's find a place to sit?"

   "I heard that a coffee shop has just opened in the town. The coffee and red velvet cake are very good. I treat them."

  Hubert Airy blinked subconsciously when he heard this.

  He talked with Xu Yun in the first class, and he still has a good impression of this Oriental.

  So he hesitated a little, and he agreed:

   "Then I will be disrespectful."

   Half an hour later.

  Xu Yun and Hubert Airy sat opposite each other on an open-air table, with two cups of coffee and some desserts in front of them.

  Xu Yun first added a spoonful of sugar to the coffee, and the spoon turned gently in the cup, making some crisp crashing sounds from time to time:

   "Student Airy, how was your past weekend?"

  Hubert Airy curled his mouth, shrugged towards Xu Yun, shook his head and said:

   "What else can I do? I went fishing alone for two days."

  Xu Yun was also a master fisherman in his previous life. Hearing this, he immediately became interested and said curiously:

   "Fishing? What fish did you catch?"

  Hubert Airy picked up a cherry with a fork, casually stuffed it into his mouth, and said:

   "A boot, a rusty kitchen knife, a pair of pants. Oh yes, and a skeleton specimen discarded by the medical school—a real human skeleton."

  Xu Yun:

All right.

   Fishermen, not surprising.

  After speaking, Hubert Airy took another look at Xu Yun and asked:

   "Student Luo Feng, I heard that you attended the dinner of the Apostles Club on the weekend?"

  Xu Yun's eyes flashed with astonishment. He was obviously surprised by this question. After recovering, he said in surprise:

   "Why, Mr. Airi, do you know about this?"

  Hubert Ally nodded, and his chin moved in a certain direction casually:

   "I heard it from others when I was eating breakfast. There are quite a few people talking about it. It seems that the banquet process was a bit unpleasant?"

  Xu Yun nodded, giving an affirmative answer, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

   Mentioned earlier.

  As a secret organization, the Apostle Club has kept its gatherings and lists highly secretive in the school for a long time, at least for the student body.

  Many interviewees don't even know they know an Apostle until they receive the invitation.

  90% of the students can only guess whether XX may have joined the Apostles Club based on their fame.

in this case.

  The news of the gathering on the weekend was actually spread to the students in less than a day, even people like Hubert Airy, who are more marginal than Xu Yun, have heard of it

It is clear.

   Rossetti and Clemente have already begun to exert their strength.

   No wonder Xu Yun felt that some people in class looked at him wrongly, thinking that those people had activated some of Yinglan's attributes, so that's what happened when co-authoring

   But then again.

  Although this approach of the Apostle Club pushed Xu Yun and Lao Tang to the forefront again, it also saved him some trouble in introducing the situation.

   Then Xu Yun straightened his expression and said to Hubert Airy:

   "That's right, student Airi, I had some disagreements with some members of the Apostle Club at the banquet, which involved some racial discrimination, so there was a quarrel, which affected Mr. Thomson."

   After speaking, he observed Hubert Airy's reaction from the corner of his eye.

  Although he is not very clear about the detailed resume of George Biddle Alley, there is still one thing that he remembers quite clearly:

  George Biddle Airy was considered Irish because of his orange hair in his childhood, and he once encountered cold violence and campus bullying for a long time.

  So as an adult, George Biddle Alley has been calling for racial equality, and he has had some success.

  This view of equality may be the stress product of bullying, not necessarily an innate idea, but at least it is much cleaner than those rights organizations for various purposes in later generations.

   As the son and admirer of George Biddle Alley, Hubert Alley should have been indoctrinated with these ideas.

as predicted.

  After hearing the racial discrimination Xu Yun said, Hubert Ally immediately hammered the table, frowned and said:

   "It's really unreasonable!"

  Seeing that Hubert Airy was emotionally pulled by him, Xu Yun continued:

   "So I discussed with Senior Thomson and planned to form an independent society called Gewu Society."

   "This association does not involve politics and literature, does not distinguish between races and skin colors, and is purely engaged in scientific research."

"good idea!"

   As soon as the words fell, Hubert Airy clapped his hands again, and the expression on his face changed again.

  His father, George Biddle Alley, was a scientist who wanted to do research, but in reality he collided with politics and capital.

  In addition, I did make some mistakes, which led to the pressure like today.

  Therefore, Hubert Airy still has some sympathy for Xu Yun's "pure scientific research". In addition to Xu Yun's previous experience of racial discrimination, he has been slightly biased towards Gewushe emotionally.

   But soon.

  Hubert Airy realized something, and he looked at Xu Yun as if he had realized something, and asked:

   "Student Luo Feng, you came here today and told me these things again, could it be?"

  Xu Yun nodded bluntly, confirmed his guess, and said frankly:

   "That's right, student Airi, I want to invite you to join Gewushe."

   "Join the company"

  Hubert Airy couldn't help hesitating when he heard this.

  Although under Xu Yun's previous hints, his innate impression of Gewushe is not bad.

   But the problem is

  Emotions cannot be eaten.

To know.

  Gewu Society is obviously an organization established to fight against the Apostles Society, and will inevitably be strongly suppressed and discredited by the Apostles Society.

  Compared with the benefits of joining the company, the risk is undoubtedly greater.

  Think here.

  Hubert Airy couldn't help looking at Xu Yun, and asked:

   "Student Luo Feng, why did you come to me? Is it because I have no friends?"

   Yes, very typical British thoughtless questioning.

  Xu Yunjian pondered for a moment, and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:

   "Student Airy, if there is an opportunity to help your father get rid of the pressure of public opinion and even become a British hero again, are you interested?"

   Bang Dang—

   Only a crisp sound was heard.

  The fork in Hubert Airy's hand fell into the coffee cup, and the coffee splashed all over, and a lot of it fell on his white collar.

  However, Hubert Airy was completely unaware of this, and stared fixedly at Xu Yun.

   After a few seconds.

   Gollum—

  His throat rolled heavily, and he even felt a little dry at the corners of his mouth when he spoke:

   "Student Luo Feng, what do you mean by that?"

  Xu Yun smiled slightly, but still didn't answer directly, but changed a new question and said:

   "Student Airy, you were born into an astronomical family, so you should know Uranus and Neptune very well, right?"

  Hearing the word Neptune, Hubert Airy's face turned black.

  But still nodded stiffly:

   "Of course I understand."

   Well known.

  Uranus is a classic planet that can be observed with the naked eye.

   But because of its dimness and its extremely slow orbit, it was never recognized as a planet by ancient observers.

   The earliest known observation of Uranus may date back to 128 BC, by Hipparchus.

   Hipparchus recorded it as a star in his catalog, which was later incorporated into Ptolemy's Almagest.

   John Flamsteed also observed Uranus at least six times, cataloging it in his catalog as "34 Taurus".

  French astronomer Pierre-Charles Le Monier also observed Uranus at least a dozen times between 1750 and 1769, including four consecutive nights.

  But none of them judged Uranus as a planet, and missed the opportunity to leave a mark in history.

   This situation continued until March 13, 1781, when William Herschel observed and formally characterized Uranus.

  This is the first time ever that humans have expanded the known boundaries of the solar system and made Uranus the first planet discovered with a telescope.

   As for Neptune, it is even simpler, the process has been introduced earlier:

  George Biddle Airy spent more than ten years aggregating relevant data, but found no connections, but documented them as references.

Auburn Le Verrier calculated from these observations by Georges Biddle Airy, discovered by Johann Gottfried Galle at the Berlin Observatory on the night of September 23-24, 1846 the planet.

  This is also the only planet in human history that was accidentally discovered by mathematical prediction rather than observation.

   Throughout the process.

  George Biddle Alley's image is not glorious, even a bit like a clown.

   To use an ancient Chinese poem, it is "bitterly hate to press the gold thread every year to make wedding clothes for others."

but

  What does Xu Yun mean by mentioning this at this time?

   Just when Hubert Airy was in doubt, Xu Yun spoke again:

   "Since you know Uranus very well, then Mr. Airi, you must know another thing, right?"

   Hubert Airy asked subconsciously:

"What's up?"

  Xu Yun gave him a meaningful look, and said slowly:

   "Even with the effect of Neptune, the orbit of Uranus still has a series of irregularities."

  Hubert Airy was taken aback again when he heard that.

   mentioned above.

  Auburn Le Verrier performed a mathematical NTR using data observed by George Biddle Airy, and this happened because something was wrong with the orbit of Uranus.

  After the discovery of Uranus by William Herschel.

  The astronomical community has conducted long-term observations and calculations on the orbit of Uranus, which is similar to the retesting of later generations.

   But after testing, the astronomical community suddenly felt something was wrong:

   Oh my god, the orbit of Uranus doesn't fit Maverick's classical mechanics formula!

   But the Mavericks can't be wrong, so only Uranus is wrong.

   It was from this foundation that Auburn Le Verrier finally calculated the orbit and period of Neptune.

   Therefore, the day when Neptune was discovered is also called the most glorious day in the history of Newtonian mechanics.

   But some things in this world are like Kennedy making convertibles, the fun comes and goes as fast as it goes.

  With the observation of the orbit of Neptune, the astronomical community has discovered some problems:

  Although when the force field of Neptune is substituted into the calculation, the orbit of Uranus is corrected a lot.

  But after all, the revolution period of Uranus is as long as 84.81 earth years, which is a very long arc, and there are naturally many observable data.

  So after measuring and measuring, the astronomical community discovered again.

   Uranus' major problems are gone, but minor problems continue.

   Such as a series of irregularities.

   Such as equiangular spirals, such as the speed difference on the outer track, etc.

  These problems are like the occasional flashbacks of later generations of mobile phones. They are not fatal contradictions, but they are a bit irritating.

  So for a long time, there has been a guess that is not well accepted in the astronomical community:

   These irregularities could be plausibly explained if the gravitational pull of a more distant unknown planet is perturbing Uranus' orbit.

   That is.

  In addition to Neptune, there may be a huge celestial body in the outer orbit of Uranus!

  Think here.

   Hubert Airy suddenly realized something, and saw him suddenly looking at Xu Yun, with a trembling tone in his tone:

   "Student Luo Feng, these questions you asked and what you said before can prove to my father, could it be?"

   "Did you discover that mysterious celestial body?"

  Xu Yun glanced at Hubert Airy's shaking hands like Parkinson's, shook his head slightly, and asked:

   "Student Airy, if I have already found that celestial body, will I still say it is your father's chance to prove himself?"

   Hubert Ally was taken aback for a moment.

   I saw him blinking, it seems to be the same reason

   Then Xu Yun sighed and explained:

   "Actually, the ancestor of Fat Fish had guessed about that celestial body a long time ago. After all, he was the first person to know Newton's laws."

   "It's a pity that the precision of the equipment at that time was limited, so the ancestors of Fat Fish could only write the relevant ideas in the manuscript and pass it down as a relic."

   "And now the first team building of our Gewu Society is to find out this celestial body."

   "It can not only make the first shot, but also fulfill the long-cherished wish of Fat Fish's ancestors, the best of both worlds!"

   Hubert Airy listened to his chest rising and falling, and it could be seen that his mood fluctuated violently:

   "Student Luo Feng, are you sure?"

  Xu Yun spread his hands towards him and said with a smile:

   "What do you think? If I'm not sure, will I take it as a club building activity for Gewushe?"

   "To tell you the truth, Senior Thomson is already helping me to contact my classmates in the Department of Mathematics. At that time, at least half of the students in the Department of Mathematics of Trinity College will provide us with computing power support."

   "How about it, student Airi, would you like to join us?"

  Hubert Airy's face changed rapidly, sometimes excited and sometimes worried.

   After a long while, he asked:

   "Student Luo Feng, what do you need me to do?"

  Xu Yun pointed a finger at him and said:

   "First of all, I want a large amount of data collected from the observations of the Royal Greenwich Observatory, whether it is newly entered or long-sealed observation records, I want them all!"

   Hubert Airy said slowly after a moment:

   "This shouldn't be a problem, after all, a lot of information is public, but student Luo Feng, since there is a first, then there must be a second, right?"

  Xu Yun nodded and raised his second finger:

   "Secondly, I'm going to borrow the telescope from the Greenwich Observatory—listen to me. By borrowing, I don't mean to go to the observatory to observe, but to transport it from the Greenwich Observatory to the University of Cambridge."

   This time.

   Hubert Ally fell silent.

  Xu Yun didn't rush him, just sipped his coffee quietly.

  In 1850, there were not many coffee lovers, at least not enough to be caught and sprayed all over the street by adding a spoonful of sugar, so Xu Yun still drank it very comfortably.

that's it.

   After four or five minutes, Hubert Airy raised his head and said:

   "Student Luo Feng, I will write a letter to my father, explaining the past few days in detail, and try my best to help you convince him."

  Xu Yun felt relieved when he heard this, but the expression on his face remained unchanged:

   "It's so good, then I will wait for the good news."

   I don't know if it's because of a good decision.

  Hubert Airy's demeanor was also obviously relaxed a lot, his eyes rolled nimbly, and he asked curiously:

   "By the way, Luo Feng, Mr. Fat Yu didn't find that celestial body, but did you name it?"

  Xu Yun nodded:

   "Of course."

   "Oh? I don't know what its name is"

   "Conanstar, Conan Star."

Note:

  It's been three days, my heart is starting to feel uncomfortable, and the center of the back of my head is a little cold, a little less today

   In addition, today is 77, don't forget the national humiliation, our generation is self-improvement
