Chapter 146 Reference object and pi
"Your Excellency Lynn, you have won. It seems that our efforts over the years have been in vain." Yolande realized after a long time, and said in a daze.
These words seemed to take away the little energy left in Yolande's body, and he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
The rest of the wizards of the School of Prophecy also looked out of their wits.
Their star chart is wrong, and the efforts of the entire prophecy school for hundreds of years have become a complete joke!
"There's no need to belittle yourself so much, Mr. Yolande. In a sense, your star map is still very accurate." Lynn shook his head and said in relief.
He was able to confirm that the law of universal gravitation is still applicable in different worlds, using the laws of the movement of stars that the school of prophecy has spent hundreds of years observing. Lynn is also embarrassed to hit these wizards who yearn for the starry sky too much.
"So you finally admit that all this is fabricated?" A witch from the School of Prophecy said excitedly.
Lynn glanced at her, very speechless, when did he say that?
But before he could speak, Yolande stopped several colleagues who were still trying to argue, and waited for Lynn's answer with a puzzled expression.
Lin En also ignored those wizards of the School of Prophecy who had suffered a huge blow and were already somewhat delirious. They looked at Yolande and continued to speak.
"Do you still remember the carriage problem I told you about? If the carriage is used as a reference, the person inside is still, but if the starting point is used as the basis, then he has indeed moved. In my opinion Both statements are true..."
Geocentric theory and heliocentric theory, to put it bluntly, are different reference objects.
Of course, the heliocentric theory is more suitable for solving some practical problems. After all, the essence of the orbit formation of a galaxy is the gravitational force of stars, so the proposal of the heliocentric theory is indeed a huge progress!
As for whether these people can comprehend, it is none of his business.
Amidst the discussions among the crowd, the magic seminar that lasted all morning came to an end soon, but the topics about planets, stellar orbits, and airship ranging remained unabated.
Some wizards from the top schools did not suddenly remember until they walked out of the seminar that they participated in this seminar to demonstrate the new magic and new theories they had researched.
As a result, neither of them said a word, and the whole seminar became Lynn's one-man show.
However, in such a situation, I am afraid that not many people would care about what kind of novel magic they have researched. Everyone is guessing how long and how big the planet under their feet is.
Philip was even more excited and couldn't contain himself. Before participating in the seminar, he was a little worried that Lynn would not be able to cope with the difficulties of those wizards of the prophecy school. Unexpectedly, Lynn refuted these people to pieces in a few words, and with an exquisite experiment Demonstrated the rotation of the planet, and was even nominated for the Order of the Corona!
This is the highest award in magic science. He never thought that the Iyeta school would win a glorious Corona Medal one day. In the past, it was the patent of legendary wizards!
Philip is considering using magic to call Kevin, Orlando and others over, and has participated in the award ceremony for a while. It will definitely be the most glorious day of the Iyeta School!
Compared with Philip, who was still immersed in joy, Lynn was surrounded by wizards who were full of curiosity. After getting the method of measuring the circumference of the planet, everyone was very curious about the mass of the huge star. How to calculate.
Lynn, who was annoyed by the question, could only evade and say that he needed to wait until the radius and gravitational constant of the planet were calculated before he could do further calculations.
After finally sending these curious babies away, Lynn turned to look at the legendary wizard Harov who hadn't left yet, and asked.
"Master Harov, do you have anything else to do?"
"I still have a few doubts, I hope you can enlighten me..." Harov kept his posture very low, and he didn't put on a high-spirited look just because Lynn was only a three-ring wizard.
In fact, this problem has been bothering him for a whole year.
"Please tell me, as long as it is a question that I can answer." Lynn nodded.
"I've read the three laws of stars you wrote, but why can you be so sure that the orbit of a star must be an ellipse?" Harov asked very puzzled. "According to my research on gravity, it is like a water wave. It uses itself as the base point and spreads to the surroundings to form an orbit. It should also be a perfect circle."
"About this point, I discussed it with some scholars in the Arcane Society, and put forward a lot of conjectures, but it can be summed up in two points!" Lynn replied.
"Which two points?" Harov hurriedly asked.
"First, there is no perfect circle!" Lynn said freely. "After the calculation of precise algebra, pi is an irrational number, so the perfect circle in the imagination may not exist in reality."
"Not necessarily?" Harov frowned. The wizards of the Alchemy Society were also studying the curvature of the circle. Although they also came to similar conclusions, in his opinion, everything in the world must be It's full of laws, but they haven't found this law yet.
"It's a pity that this is the case. I heard that an adult from the [Secret Society] spent decades calculating pi to two trillion decimal places. The number obtained is still not organized and can be deduced infinitely. Go down." Lynn shrugged and said directly.
Two hundred... trillion bits?
Harov was a little dazed by the horrific numbers. He doubted that what Lynn told him was not the same thing at all, or that he had heard it wrong.
He remembered that the Alchemy Association had already deduced the number of pi, which should be... ninth?
"I don't remember much, probably only the first two hundred." Lynn raised his hand and used magic power to manifest these numbers.
[3.1415926535897932…]
Looking at the series of complex and chaotic numbers in front of him, Harov's face twitched involuntarily. The first nine figures were almost the same as the values deduced by the Alchemy Association. He also had to admit that what Lynn said was probably true. of.
However, how idle is the other party in order to deduce the value to two trillion trillion digits.
At the same time, Harov also admired the other party for being able to work **** the unsolvable pi for decades, just to get a final answer.
I am also more and more interested in the [Secret Society] Harov mentioned in the invitation letter. It must be the gathering place of top academic researchers.
