Inside the defense classroom, when Li Qiwei stated that light possessed Wave-Particle Duality, truth be told, no more than five people present could roughly understand it.
This was not a Quantum Theory conference, with great minds gathered who could deeply grasp the strange essence of Wave-Particle Duality.
Most people only knew it as a concept and could not consider it from a higher perspective.
Even two professors on the review committee shook their heads like rattle-drums, unable to believe it or imagine such a thing.
As for students from other fields, it sounded even more like a heavenly book to them. Still, that did not stop some people from continuing to pick faults.
With Professor Keith taking the lead, hardly anyone dared raise questions of a purely physical nature anymore. That was Li Qiwei's specialty; no one dared stroke a tiger's whiskers.
But many people suddenly got ideas and wanted to make things difficult for Li Qiwei from other angles. There was no particular reason—they simply did not like the sight of him and refused to accept him.
A man from the Qing Dynasty dared to point and pontificate on European soil, spouting grand words?
"Bruce Li, I am an economics student at the University of Glasgow. I have a general understanding of your findings."
"Everyone says your theory surpasses classical physics, but classical physics transformed the world and allowed us to enjoy an immensely abundant material life."
"For instance, Lord Kelvin installed the submarine cable across the Atlantic Ocean, invented the ship's compass, and designed all manner of exquisite measuring instruments."
"But your theory is like a castle in the air. Though it stands lofty above all else, it has no use at all. It cannot affect the world, much less benefit humanity."
"How do you view this matter?"
