这大爷有点儿痴呆

话说此事发生在上世纪二十年代。

***

小爱:大爷,我来看您了。问您点事儿,您看我这个想法啊……

洛仑兹:啊?

小爱:是这么回事,%#·)(*……!)#¥—*(……

洛仑兹:啊?说什么了?

小爱:$#@_^(*@#&%_#)(^+)(&

洛仑兹:啊?

小爱:#(%*……!·)(*%——(*—……

洛仑兹:哦……

小爱:大爷,您看怎么样?

洛仑兹:啊?

小爱:怎么了?

洛仑兹:哦。。。

一会儿,小爱走了出来,遇见记者。

记者:老头儿留下什么话了么?

小爱:这个嘛,也没留下什么。

记者:那他对您的见解有什么想法吗?

小爱:老头儿说了一个“哦”

记者:他赞成了?

小爱:嗯,应该是。

记者:好的,谢谢。这事儿我给您刊登。

不久之后,小米也来拜访洛仑兹。

小米:大爷,最近身体可好?

洛仑兹:嘿嘿……

小米:?

洛仑兹:啊?  哦。

小米:听说小爱来找过您,但是我另有想法,您给看看。

洛仑兹:哦。

小米:您看,是这么回事,——#(*%—#(*%……)*#—·¥

洛仑兹:啊?

小米:#·%)(*—%……!(·*

洛仑兹:哦哦哦……啊?

小米(一头雾水):如何?您表个态。

洛仑兹:哦。

一会儿,小米出来,也预见了记者。

记者:小米同志,老头儿表态了吗?

小米:好像是没有。

记者:那他说了些什么?

小米:什么都没说啊。

记者:好的,谢谢。

实际的历史:

爱因斯坦在他的信中说:

I thank you very much for sending me your careful study about the Miller experiments. Those experiments, conducted with so much care, merit, of course, a very careful statistical investigation. This is more so as the existence of a not trivial positive effect would affect very deeply the fundament of theoretical physics as it is presently accepted.
You have shown convincingly that the observed effect is outside the range of accidental deviations and must, therefore, have a systematic cause. You made it quite probable that this systematic cause has nothing to do with "ether-wind," but has to do with differences of temperature of the air traversed by the two light bundles which produced the bands of interference. Such an effect is indeed practically inevitable if the walls of the laboratory room have a not negligible difference in temperature.
It is one of the cases where the systematic errors are increasing quickly with the dimension of the apparatus.

米勒的回应:

"The trouble with Professor Einstein is that he knows nothing about my results. ... He ought to give me credit for knowing that temperature differences would affect the results. He wrote to me in November suggesting this. I am not so simple as to make no allowance for temperature."

实力分析:

米勒的实验素养和技能要比爱因斯坦强得多。

心理学分析:

恶人先告状。

1919年,首先是爱丁顿擅自抹去了对证实广义相对论不利的数据。

说明:今天得知惠勒离开了我们,我突然间很担心阿莱,他毕竟也是97岁的高龄了。看来老爷子精气神还挺好,最近在经济学领域中还是很活跃的,对全球化的批判,给建构主义者一个不小的打击,我也该清醒一下了。

我相信在他成功之前是不会放弃的。
