A middle-aged man with meticulously combed hair and glasses as thick as bottle bottoms looked sharply at Jiang Cheng.
He raised his hand high.
Jiang Cheng nodded in acknowledgment.
"What does the professor want to ask?"
"I'd like to know, does Dean Jiang also have expertise in physics?"
"Just a little bit."
I don't think you do.
The middle-aged man, named Li Zhou, spoke with sharp, incisive words, showing no regard for his status in Jiangcheng and expressing his true feelings without any concealment.
Among researchers, there are many who speak very directly. They dislike pretense even more than ordinary people. In the scientific environment, rigor is the first principle.
This quality is necessary to pursue the most authentic theories in the world.
Li Zhou is known in the School of Physics for being stubborn. It's normal for him to argue with his superiors when he expresses his opinions. His colleagues who came with him knew something was going to happen when they saw him stand up.
But it was too late to stop them.
The entire conference room fell silent after he said that. His colleague covered his forehead and turned his head away, refusing to look.
It's one thing to argue with your boss occasionally, everyone knows your personality, but is Jiang Cheng an ordinary person?
Young research leader, pioneer and head of the New Era Project, and co-dean of science and technology.
Any one of those titles would be terrifying enough.
Of course you can express your opinions, but being tactful makes them more acceptable.
While everyone remained silent, Jiang Cheng responded very seriously.
"Very good, please state your reasons."
Li Zhou adjusted his glasses. "I am an absolute believer in Newtonian mechanics, and Dean Jiang, haven't you heard of Laplace's theory, which is derived from it? To put it simply, we can regard the current state of the universe as the result of its past and the cause of its future. Your so-called theory of order turning into disorder is completely unfounded."
After listening, Jiang Cheng nodded without showing any displeasure and gestured for him to sit down.
He glanced around the brightly lit conference room and said in a friendly tone, "Any other questions? Feel free to ask, and I'll answer them all later."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
His eyes held a complex expression, tinged with hesitation.
“This discussion aims to encourage free expression. You all have spent far more time immersed in your respective fields than I have, and your opinions are very important, so please feel free to speak your mind,” he added.
Since they could accept such sharp words, everyone suddenly stopped holding back.
One by one, they stood up and voiced their doubts, hoping Jiang Cheng could give them a satisfactory answer.
In an instant, the scene became lively, with everyone speaking enthusiastically and truly beginning a discussion about the law of entropy increase.
Chen Ang's eyes flickered, as if he was also thinking about something.
Sitting in the corner, Shen Yiran was filled with questions. Why was Jiang Cheng able to calmly accept so many doubts? And what gave him the right to get involved in the field of physics and try to overturn the mainstream views of this century?
This kind of outrageous behavior is tantamount to putting oneself on a barbecue grill.
Where does this man get his confidence?
Jiang Cheng kept every question in mind. Since he dared to invite others, he had made full preparations.
Debates about scientific research, philosophy, and the universe—any topic is profound and fascinating enough. He stands at the forefront, speaking eloquently and using various physics terms with great accuracy, not at all like a novice who has rashly entered this field.
His understanding of Laplace's demon was so profound that it surpassed that of anyone else present. He answered all questions without reservation.
The calm tone conveys a profound and ingenious understanding, which is neither biased nor lacking in depth, and prompts much reflection.
Jiang Cheng rejected Li Zhou's stubborn insistence on his own views, and the two argued more and more fiercely.
And so, time ticked by, and he spoke with great eloquence! He debated with the assembled scholars! For a full two hours, he left everyone speechless.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that "not a single official in the entire court dared to speak out."
A physics PhD was so shocked by his theory that he was stunned and began to question the meaning of life.
Substituting this problem into mathematics is like forcibly changing the common perception that one plus one equals two, or telling you that there is another natural number between 3 and 4.
This is no less significant than Copernicus's statement hundreds of years ago, telling that closed society that Earth is not the center of the universe, but a life-bearing planet orbiting the sun.
How can anyone accept this?
Jiang Cheng drank water several times to moisten his throat. His brain was constantly working at high speed. Debating is the most mentally taxing thing, but his purpose in holding the meeting was far more than that.
A murmur rippled through the audience.
Although Li Zhou was unconvinced, he couldn't find any flaws in the law of entropy increase.
Of course he couldn't find it, because this law is real and has a scientific basis!
The several physics professors frowned as they listened, exchanging glances, each hesitant to speak.
A thought that gave them goosebumps crossed their minds.
What Jiang Cheng said may be true.
The moment this thought came to mind, it was like bombarding their brains, gradually blurring their worldview and leaving them dizzy and disoriented.
He knew everyone was unconvinced, so he wanted to persuade them completely.
Jiang Cheng prepared his last move.
He pulled up the experiment he had conducted from the PowerPoint presentation.
The process of entropy increase in a closed system!
The three-minute video was watched in silence. After it finished playing, some people had their mouths slightly open, while others had their minds blank.
