On Einstein

I think there are three parallel physicists in physics history. Galileo was the prehistoric physicist, and Newton was the founder of physics, while Einstein was the peak in physics history. Newton said he was standing on the shoulders of giants, so he saw farther. Einstein should bring his earthshaking revolution to physics with his brilliant brains. Einstein's life can be described as frustrations, complexity and desolation. We like to call him little love, so we are so nicknamed below.

Little love didn't show his genius at all when he was little, except that he liked to ask strange questions for teachers. What we all know is the story of little love making stools. It is said that three are the most ugly. This only shows that his hands-on ability is really poor, and is not suitable for doing experiments. Perhaps it indicates that he will make achievements in theory. Of course, not such reasoning is correct. Feynman loved to play when he was young, but eventually he was a theoretical physicist, but a cute guy.

Xiao AI's secondary school days were not brilliant. On the contrary, his grades were very common. He often copied his classmates' homework. Grossman was also a good man. The friend later became a famous mathematician. Later, little love wanted to integrate relativity, especially general relativity, and found that his mathematical foundation was not good enough. He had to ask Grossman for help again. Good brothers were good brothers. Grossman seriously helped him with his calculations and solved many problems in the beginning of general relativity. On one occasion, Xiao AI felt that he had always made his old friend do some math parts, but he refused to write the whole article. The article was full of comments. No one knows where the reviewers are everywhere. Finally, someone secretly investigated that the original peer reviewer was Grossman. Some people say that this is Grossman playing a cautious eye, but otherwise, this is a reflection of Grossman's serious research. Little love's article is indeed a lot of problems, Grossman's views are also right, even good friends' articles should also be taken seriously. This is not like now. If you post an article to a domestic magazine, tomorrow, maybe the next door lab's friends will come to tell you that the article is reviewing him. The implication is that it is time to invite me to dinner.

The emotional life of little love is a mess. But he is different from Newton, who is very conservative. When I was in high school, I had nothing to do with it. I only saw Maleva, a three year old lame man, who contacted each other in the name of common discussion and study. Little love is always reluctant to admit to his first daughter. He seems to be shirking his responsibilities as a father, perhaps because of the sequelae of his daughter's illness and his financial distress at that time. In short, Einstein's daughter is miserable and has never seen his father in his life. Edward, the youngest son of little love, is also the last schizophrenic to go there. It seems that the genes of great men are inherited from N generation.

When Xiao AI worked in the patent office, his main task was to support his family, but he was still working hard to finish his doctoral dissertation and several other articles. The doctorate of Xiao AI was very interesting. He wrote it three times before he passed it, and finally finished the experiment with an experimental method to determine the molecular diameter. The specific reason was that he adopted a new statistical method, which was a little clash with Bohr's method. His supervisor thought it seemed inappropriate, so let him change it again. Bohr was a depressed man. His theory was not laughed at when he was alive. At last, the genius killed his smart brain with revolver. In less than two years after his death, his theory was recognized. He could not wait until this moment to engrave the deep insight formula on the tombstone: S = klogW. Little love's doctoral dissertation has been frustrated after several setbacks. He must be said to be a doctor at the time. This article is not his most important contribution, but the citation rate of this article is the highest in all his articles. It seems that the citation rate is not a good criterion for evaluating an article.

1905 is the most brilliant year of little love. This year is defined by the year of Einstein miracle, just like Newton published the mathematical principle of natural philosophy. That year was the same as Newton's miracle year. In 1905, Xiao AI published five essays, one of which was doctoral dissertation, and the other four were even more important, because four articles almost created the three fields of physics in the 100 years. The four articles are: the motion of suspended particles in a stationary liquid required by the theory of thermal molecular motion, the electrodynamics of the moving body, and the inertia of the object and its energy? "A Tentative View on the generation and transformation of light". The first is about the Brown movement, the famous Einstein equation he created, which basically solved the problem of Brown's motion theory and created statistical physics. The two one is the creation of the special theory of relativity, and its great insight is beyond doubt. The interesting thing is that the Lorenz transform derived from it makes Lorenz very depressed because Lorenz used Maxwell equation to derive the transformation. Unfortunately, Lorenz did not seriously admit that the relativity theory of little love is right. On the contrary, he has always been a resolute opponent of little love, and the name "relativity" is taken by Lorenz. The last article is the reason why Xiao AI gets Nobel. The light quantum hypothesis explains the photoelectric effect very well. In fact, explaining the photoelectric effect is just one of the very simple inferences in this article. The essence of this article is to put forward the concept of light quantum. The Nobel committee did not accept the quantum theory at that time, but it was prudent to say that he successfully explained the photoelectric effect and other physical contributions to the dynamite award. No wonder, the first one to put forward the quantum hypothesis is Planck. His greatest achievement in life was to explain the black body radiation problem with one share of energy. It was one of the two black clouds predicted by Kelvin. When he wanted to set the clouds on the horizon, the brother made the biggest mistake in his life, that is, proving his reasoning is wrong. It is wrong for a man to prove himself to be a great discovery so stubborn. It shows how deep-rooted the classical physics concept was at that time. Little love is different. At that time, he was only twenty years old. Even if he said something wrong, he did not have to bear any loss of reputation. So he did not hesitate to use the concept of quantum and put forward the light quantum hypothesis. The contribution of quantum mechanics is infinite. With a simple example, all semiconductor materials, such as radio, television, computer and so on, are one of the achievements of quantum mechanics. Without quantum mechanics, there would be no human life today.

100 years later, in 2005, the United Nations was designated as the world year of physics. The purpose is to commemorate the miracle created by Einstein in 1905. The great man is no longer here. We look forward to the birth of the next great man, but now science is already huge and complex. Even if there is a genius other than genius, there is no ability to create such a miracle of little love. Cooperation and communication have become the themes in the field of scientific research, but there are plenty of people eating, drinking and playing.

There's another reason why Xiao AI can make such a great job in 1905. It's another reason why he worked in the patent office. He needed to work on time every day. He put the draft in the drawer and pushed it out when no one was there. Luckily, the director of the patent office and Grossman are good friends. They just keep a close eye on this kind of neglect of duty. Anyway, they are all mixed up. Why should they be embarrassed? Little love is not easy. He has to support his wife, Maleva, and two sons. At home, on the side of his son's cry and his wife's nagging, he can also settle down to calculate his theory of relativity, so after he published his article, he found that many mistakes in writing were reasonable. Maybe Maleva blamed him for ignoring his family. Little love didn't listen to his friends' advice. He seldom took the family as one thing. Finally, divorce became inevitable. Of course, divorce is because little love is having an affair, and Maleva's feelings are also broken. After the divorce, little love quickly married Alisa, but unfortunately, little love just didn't understand the family stuff. The second marriage was not happy. After that, little love was already a celebrity. He felt sorry for Maleva. He gave her all the bonus of the explosives award to the aged, and she went through the happy days. Little love's old age is debauchery. Many women are attracted by it. They willingly serve him. Little love is also welcome. ("three no": no initiative, no rejection, no responsibility). But I learned from the lessons of two failed marriages, and never married again. The life of little love can be summed up in his own words: "suffering or sweetness comes from outside." I live in solitude, miserable in my youth, and sweet in maturity. "

The days of little love in Princeton can be seen as boundless scenery, but at the end of the day, it is often lonely. Chen Ning Yang met him several times on the Boulevard, and invited him to discuss in his office. Unfortunately, little love and poor English (little love is sure to feel: "English is really TM hard to learn!") It makes Yang uncomfortable. After meeting him, he just greeted him with respect and politeness. The second half of little love is just as bad as Newton. He persistently studies the unified field theory, hoping to unify the four major interactions. The gravitational force is discovered by Newton, and is also understood by deep love as time and space, but it has become a stumbling block in the unified field theory. The direction of the unity of little love is fundamentally wrong, and his intelligence is no longer flashing, and eventually he falls on the unified road. Chen Ning Yang is different. He set out a unified first step on the basis of the basic theory of symmetry, based on the profound mathematical foundation taught by his father Yang Wuzhi. There is always a first step in the long march of the long march. Little love didn't go on with her old legs. Yang did it. The unified field theory was later carried forward by Gherman, Weinberg, grass, Gross and so on. I had the privilege to meet with these great physicists.

Another failure of Xiao AI is the cosmological constant. He founded the static universe model and later found it was not right, so the introduction of cosmological constant comes from the circle theory. Later, Harbert discovered that the universe is indeed accelerating, which makes little love regret. He said the introduction of cosmological constants was the biggest mistake in his life, but this mistake proved to be correct in the end. Cosmological constants have been floating in the history of cosmology several times, and finally accepted by everyone. Of course, the understanding now is quite different from the original idea of little love. Now it seems that 70% of the universe is made up of dark energy. What is dark energy, no one knows, but some people say that it can be equivalent to the contribution of cosmological constant. Then the next question is to ask what cosmological constant is caused by, or no one can answer. The discovery of dark energy is one of the most important discoveries of physics in the 2003, because it means that we do not understand our universe at all, and also about the fate of the universe. Most of the remaining 30% are dark matter. Human beings do not know much about it. The particles we know constitute only 1/22 of the matter. Poor human beings do not know anything about the universe they live in.

Anyway, Einstein is the greatest physicist in the history of physics, only 100 years ago, and only 100 years later. As a small molecule in the field of physics, my personal admiration for him is like the surging water of the Yangtze River.
