Chapter 522 - 247 Bosses Gather (Part 2) (6.8K)_4

Moreover, the impact of this change may be difficult to estimate.

Because...

In Wheat’s schedule, there is prominently the subject of Natural Science.

Just imagine.

According to the original trajectory.

Wheat would not read Faraday’s "Studies in Electrical Experiments" until 1854, formally encountering electromagnetism, wasting several years in the meantime.

From entering Cambridge in 1850 to his death in 1879, Wheat squandered at least seven years during these 29 years.

His only meeting with Faraday in life was in 1860, exactly ten years from now.

Ten years ah...

Ten years is very short, just as the ten years ago in the present world is 2012 instead of 2002, as if it passed in the blink of an eye.

But ten years is also very long, enough for the heroine of the novel to change from Asuna to Tifa.

And for Wheat and Faraday, ten years is clearly the latter.

Now, these two greatest figures in electromagnetism in history are meeting ten years earlier and even becoming master and disciple. What kind of sparks will this generate?

Meanwhile.

What surprised Xu Yun was far more than just this...

.....

Another group of people was founding a university, known later as University College London. UCL later decided to institutionalize the lectures organized by McCarthy, establishing the Ricardo Political Economy Chair and appointed McCarthy as the first chair professor in 1828, which lasted until 1837. Nevertheless, he is considered famous because he posed an interesting question: Does the fermentation process of wine in barrels constitute labor? That is, if a barrel of new wine valued at £50 increases in value to £55 after a year in the cellar, is the £5 increase a capital time-value compensation or added labor value to the wine? This issue was very controversial in early economics and parallels the saying in "Zhuangzi: All Under Heaven", ’Take half of it every day, and it will never run out in a thousand generations.’ Additionally, a thought crossed Xu Yun’s mind: William Whewell was indeed ruthless... previously when visiting William Whewell with Thomson, Xu Yun saw a scene where Purim was arguing and throwing an axe. They were arguing about the economics course opening. William Whewell expressed that it was impossible to let Purim succeed smoothly, and the host, Werner, also revealed that Whewell intended to look for another candidate. However, Xu Yun always thought this was just a big talk; both sides were likely to compromise for mutual benefits. Unexpectedly, William Whewell really poached McCarthy to Cambridge, and he was even in charge of the economics courses for the four divinity schools, which was undoubtedly a hard slap in the face. I wonder if Purim would become furious enough to bring an axe and challenge William Whewell to an offline PK? On the other side. After introducing McCarthy, William Whewell continued to introduce other professors: "Zarul Murray... Chief Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences... ""Delio Atayaga... Art History Lecturer..... ""Stasia Edkins... Ancient Greek and Roman Literature Professor... ""Gandalf..... Body Technique Defense Class Professor..." Continuing after McCarthy, William Whewell lavishly introduced seven or eight teaching professors, who seemed quite renowned. However, Xu Yun was not familiar with these people. At most, he had a slight impression of that Mrs. Weasley-like Stasia Edkins from "Harry Potter". This lady was the first female professor in Cambridge’s history, but Xu Yun remembered her name mainly because of her cause of death: she was hit by a train during an outing. You should know. After the 1842 train accident in Paris, all train speeds in Europe were reduced to over 20 kilometers per hour, only recovering to more than 60 kilometers in 1879. So at that time, upon hearing this, Xu Yun racked his brains but couldn’t imagine how the event unfolded. Then very quickly, he heard the name of his cheaper mentor: "Stokes... Mathematical Lucas Professor... Trinity College Doctoral Advisor..." Pa, pa, pa, Wheat and Xu Yun immediately clapped a bit harder to support their mentor’s show. Nearby, Aveline frowned, looking at the waving Stokes, muttering: "Why do you still have to study mathematics in graduate school... this subject shouldn’t exist, right?" Xu Yun glanced at this girl slightly, without speaking. Just kidding. You haven’t seen the mathematics problems of the later generations, right? Especially the national paper in 2022, believe it or not, it can make you cry and revert to a Lilani... and at this moment. On the stage, William Whewell suddenly put on a serious face, his tone unprecedentedly solemn: "Classmates, you all know, the scientific community in Europe is presently in a period of rapid development, and various practical technologies are gradually entering our lives." "For instance, trains and electric lights.""In order to connect with scientific frontiers, the majority of British universities, including the University of Cambridge, have established two emerging subjects of Natural Science and Moral Science.""However, the candidate for the Chief Professor of Natural Science at the University of Cambridge has always been undecided, so other professors could only act as public lecturers.""But today I can happily tell everyone that, under the patronage of Prince Albert, the subject of Natural Science has finally welcomed its first Chief Professor!!" Upon hearing William Whewell’s words, Xu Yun couldn’t help but sit up straight. 200 years ago, students who attended university in the United Kingdom knew. In the European university system dominated by classical subjects, mathematics has always been an important teaching content. As for courses like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, they were initially not highly valued and were collectively called Natural Philosophy. For example, besides theology, Old Da’s elective another major was this. Another group of people was founding a university, which later became University College London. UCL decided to institutionalize the lectures organized by McCarthy, establishing the Ricardo Political Economy Chair in 1828, appointing McCarthy as the first chair professor, which lasted until 1837. Nevertheless, he is considered famous because he posed an interesting question: Does the fermentation process of wine in barrels constitute labor? That is, assuming a barrel of new wine valued at £50 increases in value to £55...
