Joseph did not care much about the winning or losing of the bet against Napoleon. He remembered that in the movies about Napoleon that he had watched in his previous life, Napoleon contributed to the French Academy of Sciences. It seemed that Napoleon wrote an article about social issues at that time, and after he threw it in, he fell into the sea. Therefore, Joseph felt that at least he was unlikely to lose this bet.

However, this paper still needs to be prepared carefully. If it is a normal study, the first thing that needs to be conducted is naturally an experiment. But for Joseph who has traveled through time, this matter can be slowed down first. First of all, what he needs to prepare is to prepare some mathematical tools for the subsequent arguments and calculations.

In this way, the problem becomes complicated, because from the 1870s to the early 19th century, it was the era when mathematics, especially French mathematics, took a great leap. During this period, France produced a series of mathematicians who had to take a breath of air and be scared when they remembered. Even if they became time travelers, as soon as they thought of them, Joseph immediately remembered the fear dominated by Fourier, Laplace, and Lagranges. A cool air rose from his tailbone and cooled to the back of his neck. Fresnel's ability to perfectly explain the double-slit diffraction is also closely related to the achievements of these great and terrible guys. If Fresnel's argument is to be copied directly, several key mathematical breakthroughs must be made first.

"This is really 'To solve the North Korean problem, we have to solve Manchuria; to solve the Manchuria problem, we need to solve China; to solve the Chinese problem, we need to solve the United States'. When did my approach become like those Showa staff who are brainless and used to create a bigger problem to solve a small problem?" Joseph couldn't help but mock himself. But considering the influence of this experiment in history, under the influence of vanity, Joseph still planned to write this. Of course, as long as possible, he still had to use mathematical methods that he already has to solve the problem. In principle, this is not impossible, but the entire argumentation process will be very bulky and cumbersome. This is like a problem that could have been calculated by multiplication, but you have to turn it into addition.

As a result, after trying to do it for a few days, Joseph discovered that if he really wanted to completely bypass these mathematical tools that had not yet appeared, it would probably take a bigger time.

"Some necessary mathematical tools must be developed, otherwise, we can't really use addition to calculate multiplication." Joseph thought so.

After nearly a month of this, using relatively heavy means to bypass some advanced tools, and invented some "lower" tools, Joseph finally completed his paper. Looking at this paper that was as thick as a book, Joseph nodded with satisfaction and said, "It was finally successful to compress the space by half. A paper not only has breakthroughs in physics, but also breakthroughs in mathematics, which is really a great experience. The only pity is that it failed to get feedback from the real world."

Joseph copied another copy of the paper and sent one of them out. The other was taken to Armand.

As soon as he saw the pile of mathematical symbols in the paper, Armand frowned: "Joseph, what have you been busy with during this period? It turns out that you are doing this. Well, I can barely understand this before. You think that light should be a kind of wave, not particles, which is different from Sir Newton's view. Your experiment is also very interesting. I recognize all the symbols behind these things, but to be honest, I don't understand at all. Of course... you shouldn't show me this thing, but it should show my uncle, right?"

"Yes," said Joseph, "I want to hear Mr. Lavoisier's comment on this."

"Well, then, tomorrow is Sunday, I'll take this paper to him."

...

"Good morning, Mr. Lavoisier, do you need something?" A waiter hurriedly opened the door and said to the famous chemist Lavoisier, a member of the French Academy of Sciences.

"Ah, Mabaif, is Mr. Laplace here today?" Lavoisier asked while handing his cane to the waiter.

"In, Mr. Lavoisier, Mr. Laplace is in his office." The waiter replied.

"Very good, please send me a pot of black tea to his office later." Lavoisier said, strode towards the office on the left along the corridor.

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."

Lavoisier walked to the door of Laplace's office, reached out and knocked on the door gently, but there was no sound inside. Lavoisier smiled slightly, and then knocked on the door gently, but there was still no sound inside.

Lavoisier pushed the door gently and the door opened. He walked in and saw Laplace sitting at the desk, lowering his head, shaking his quill, calculating what. He threw used manuscript paper all over his desk.

Lavoisier didn't speak, but walked over, pulled over a chair, sat down opposite Laplace's desk, and waited quietly.

At this time, Ma Baifu walked in with a pot of black tea.

"Ah, Mabaifu, just put it here and pour me a cup." Lavoisier said.

Ma Baifu placed the teapot on the table next to it, poured another cup of tea, and brought it to Lavoisier.

"Well, it's all right here. You can leave." Lavoisier took the tea and said with a smile.

Ma Baifu bowed slightly, walked out gently, and covered the door gently.

Lavoisier was drinking tea while watching Laplace's calculations; Laplace hadn't looked up, and he didn't even notice a person sitting opposite his desk.

After a while, Laplace put the quill in his hand into the ink bottle again, but failed to write the numbers on the manuscript paper as expected, and the ink in the ink bottle was used up.

"Damn it! I should change to a larger ink bottle." Laplace said, looking up at the same time, she found Lavoisier sitting opposite the table.

"Mr. Lavoisier, why are you here? How long have you been here?" asked Laplace.

For a long time, Laplace was working as an assistant to Lavoisier, and they measured the specific heat of many substances together. In 1780, they proved that the heat required to decompose a compound into its constituent elements was equal to the heat emitted when these elements formed the compound. This can be seen as the beginning of thermal chemistry, and it is another milestone in the process of moving towards the law of energy conservation after Brack's research on latent heat. So the relationship between the two was quite good.

"Ah, I've been here for a while. Why, I think you seem to be checking that 'Bonaparte spot'?"

"Yes, Mr. Lavoisier." Laplace stood up and said, "You have read that paper? It's so contrary to our intuition. But, damn, it can actually be observed in experiments...that means, if his entire derivation is fine, then light must be a wave. Well, Hook will be so happy that he rolls in the grave."

Lavoisier said: "Yes, I have read that paper, and I read it yesterday morning. This paper was written by my nephew who loves art. Well, what you have seen him was written by a classmate named Joseph Bonaparte. He gave me this paper through Armand. I have to say that although the conclusions of this paper are somewhat abnormal, those two experiments are really impressive. Especially the 'Bonaparte light spot'. Well, I think this young man also submitted this paper to the Academy of Sciences and wanted to get a bonus. Well, not to mention the others, just two experiments, I think it is worth 600 francs, or even more."

"The few new mathematical tools he created in this paper are worth it," said Laplace. "But, waves alone, this conclusion is hard to accept."

"It's hard to accept? Just because Sir Newton said it was just particles?" Lavoisier said disapprovingly, "Aristotle has a lot of mistakes. Could it be that Sir Newton is the pope who will never make mistakes? But you know, I always have a lot of things. There are too many mathematical calculations in this paper. Although he has made some tricks, the calculation amount is still too large. I also have my research, so yesterday I just verified his experiments and then looked at his arguments in general. As for the specific mathematical details, I haven't had time to study them carefully. You know, in mathematics, I'm not as good as you, and if the speed of calculations, I don't think there will be anyone better than you in this world. So I plan to ask you to verify it carefully. I didn't expect you to do this."
