593 Raising the Curtain (2/2)

”A hypothesis full of amazing imagination…”

......

Before dinner time, the winter sun already sank below the horizon, and it was now completely dark. Dieppe walked back and forth anxiously in Raventi's magic tower and his mind was full of weird and even completely contradictory thoughts.

”If Mr. Evans agrees with me, then is that saying electrons are indeed waves? That's incredible… but no evidence can support it…”

His finding came from bold deduction, therefore, Dieppe was also suspicious of it. If Mr. Lucien Evans did support him, he would still have a hard time accepting it. Electrons were waves - This was something ridiculous even to the ordinary person, and also to the person who put it forward.

”If Mr. Evans doesn't agree with me, perhaps I am truly wrong.”

In this case, the world would go back to normal, and it would be a relief to Dieppe as well. However, he would also be unwilling to accept it, as this bold paper derived from his years of hard work and the spark of his wisdom.

”Then no matter what, even if Mr. Evans is not on my side, as long as he can't point out any obvious error in my paper, I'll stick to my paper and find an experiment to support it. I'm not giving in.”

The conflicting thoughts almost drove Dieppe crazy. He realized that he was still expecting Lucien Evans's approval, as he kept encouraging himself.

Why did it take so long? Dieppe looked at the window again. He had repeated the action over a hundred times since noon.

Although he understood that Mr. Evans must be very busy with his magic and arcana study, Dieppe could not help waiting expectantly.

At this time, he saw a familiar bird flying towards the magic tower. He was thrilled and dashed to Raventi's study. He even cast on himself Advanced Speed.

After several seconds, Dieppe was already sitting in front of Raventi, waiting for the messenger's return.

”You've been waiting for this?” Raventi looked at Dieppe seriously.

Dieppe nodded, but could not say a word.

At this time, this cute little messenger finally arrived through the window. Raventi took over the letter it was carrying and opened it slowly.

Dieppe stared at the expression on Raventi's face. He had to force himself not to cast a spell to probe into Raventi's brain to know the answer earlier.

Raventi directly turned the paper to the last page and took a glance at it. And then the look on his face changed. There was confusion and solemnity.

”What did Mr. Evans say, sir…?” Dieppe could not wait any longer.

”Hum…” Raventi's voice was a bit trembling, and he started reading the letter to his student,

”Lucien said: 'It's a hypothesis full of amazing imagination, which leads us to the other possible aspect of electrons. The truth of the world has been covered by a heavy, black curtain, preventing us from seeing what is hiding behind. Maybe this paper is pulling up a corner of the curtain and showing us a small part of the truth…'”

Dieppe's head buzzed. Indeed, he hoped that Mr. Evans would agree with him, but he never expected such an approving comment.

Pulling up a corner of the curtain and showing us a small part of the truth… That was amazing!

The wild joy struck Dieppe fiercely. The approval and support from an authority was terribly important to a hard-working individual. But soon Dieppe calmed down as an arcanist, and he murmured, ”But I still need an experiment to support it.”

Raventi nodded, and he kept reading, ”… I would like to believe in the fact that wave–particle duality can be applied to all microscopic particles. This is the path to end the long-time war between particle and wave theory. However, no matter how bold and sensible a deduction is, experiment support is always indispensable. I suggest that the paper be submitted immediately to the arcanists in the school of electromagnetics for publication, so that everyone knows the extraordinary work that you've been working on and start experimenting.”

”I totally have no problem with it! It's good!” Dieppe hurriedly said in a trembling voice, his back extremely straight.

Raventi, however, was still confused,

”Electron… waves?”
