On the morning of June 20, a group of unfamiliar people suddenly arrived at Cambridge University.
However, neither the faculty nor the students found it strange.
There was no need to ask—they had to be from other schools, invited by Cambridge to observe and learn from Li Qiwei's graduation defense.
After all, Li Qiwei's defense announcement had been posted all across the campus.
"Proposer of Quantum Theory, explainer of the Photoelectric Effect, keynote speaker at the First Quantum Conference, prospective doctoral student at Cavendish, and Trinity College physics undergraduate Bruce Li's defense is open to all."
"Graduation thesis title: <Some Thoughts on the Wave Nature and Particle Nature of Light>. Questions are welcome."
By now, Li Qiwei's name was like thunder in the ears of physics students.
From professors down to students, everyone knew of him. He was a rising new star in the world of physics.
Thus, the vast majority of faculty and students attending the defense came from physics or related fields such as chemistry, all here with the desire to learn and a sense of admiration.
After all, a high-end conference on the level of the Quantum Conference was not something just any undergraduate was qualified to attend.
But as the saying went, every profession was like a mountain apart.
In other disciplines, such as philosophy, political science, and economics, Li Qiwei had little fame.
That was perfectly normal. Even in the later generations, when information spread with astonishing speed, biology students would certainly not care about major news in psychology.
Put plainly, Li Qiwei's influence had not yet broken out of his circle; it remained confined to physics.
Yet that did nothing to curb everyone's curiosity. They might not know what Quantum Theory or the Photoelectric Effect meant, but it was enough to know they were
