430 The Intense Argumen (2/2)
When Artil was not expressing his contempt, he was okay.
”In fact, the school of Electromagnetics always believes that electric current is the external expression of the motion of electric charge. Before, the only problem was that it was never connected to microscopic particles,” said Lucien justifiably as he took a sip of the lemon black tea brought by the servants.
”Anyways, particles form the essence and foundation of the world!” Artil said in a frenetic way, ”as long as the experiment works and artificial planets are created, Brook will never be able to attack our teacher's theory anymore! There must be other reasons why we haven't found any planet yet! In this case, our teacher's experiment on light speed will strongly prove that the medium Ether does not exist, and without medium, the wave theory of light will collapse like a tall building that has lost its foundation!
”Light and spiritual power come in the form of particles! They must be particles!”
Norman frowned and interrupted Artil. ”Mr. Douglas's experiment has not succeeded yet. Even if it does, it will only be a powerful proof, not a complete proof. Maybe there will be other explanations of this experiment based on theories containing Ether. So far, we cannot use the particle theory of light to explain the diffraction of light and the spot discovered in Brook's experiment. We can't get too optimistic.”
”Okay, Norman, I get it. You're in fact an advocate of wave theory, right?!” Artil flew into a rage. ”Why isn't it the other way around? Why don't you say that the diffraction of light is only a powerful proof, not a complete proof, and there may be other explanations based on the particle theory? ”
Offended by Artil, Norman became a bit irritated. ”Open your eyes, Artil. In the past decades, all the theories trying to explain the particle theory have been proved wrong. How many arcanists in the Congress are still supporting particle theory? If you want to overthrow wave theory, you first explain the diffraction of light! Your eyes have been blinded by jealousy!”
”Jealousy?!” Artil pointed to himself angrily and unbelievably. ”I'm jealous of Brook, that jerk?! I'm merely believing in my own judgment!”
Luciana also joined the argument. ”Unfortunately, Norman, sorry to let you down, but I'm also one of the few arcanists who still support particle theory. You don't possess truth simply because you've got more people on your side!”
”It's true that sometimes the truth may be held in the minority's hands, but particle theory cannot even explain the experiment phenomena! How could you make the arcanists believe in it!” Norman unconsciously revealed his true inclination.
”You betrayed us!” Artil's narrow eyes widened because of anger.
”I'm simply adhering to the truth!” Norman refuted tersely.
The three students of Douglas were involved in a fierce quarrel because of the wave theory and particle theory, and Lucien was left aside by them, forgotten.
Lucien wiped off the few beads of cold sweat on his forehead, worried that they might start fighting at any time. Obviously, any debate over the wave theory and particle theory in the Congress could be very dangerous…
”Norman, are you still working on the first driving force? Such arrogance! Even our teacher cannot solve the problem! Who do you think you are!?” Shouted Artil.
”It's none of your business. Mr. Douglas also put much emphasis on it, as it has something to do with the ultimate destination of his theoretical system. Artil, I know you've been working on it secretly as well! Look at yourself first!” Norman yelled.
Their argument became more and more intense, and suddenly, the three of them turned and looked at Lucien simultaneously.
”Evans, what do you think? Is it the wave theory or particle theory?”
”Evans, I was told that you are the one who proposed the experiment on artificial planets to help Mr. Douglas prove that Ether does not exist?”
”I believe every arcanist specializing in Element should be a firm supporter of the particle theory.”
Lucien was suddenly forced into the argument. When he was still weighing his words, Douglas, Fernando, and the Prophet from Tower walked down the stairs.
