The next day, before the sun came out, Joseph got up early. There was no Internet, no games, or even electric lights in this era. Ordinary people couldn't afford candles or even oil lamps. It was pitch black at night. Joseph, who was used to going to bed after eleven o'clock in his previous life, now has the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. In fact, people in this era are basically like this.

Joseph put on his clothes, walked out of the door, and came to the church courtyard. At this time, the sun had not yet risen, and even the east had not yet revealed the whiteness of the fish belly, half a waning moon, and a few remaining stars were still hanging on the black velvet sky. It was already mid-December, and it was already snowy and moon based on the later Republics. Although it was not snowing at this time in Paris and it was still not particularly cold, in the early morning, there was already a layer of white frost on the roof and in the courtyard.

A stout figure was swinging an axe in the yard to split the wood. Joseph knew that this was the way to exercise every morning.

"Father, good morning!" Joseph walked over and said.

"Ah, Joseph, good morning." The priest threw the axe aside, stood up straight and smiled at Joseph, "Want to go out for a run?"

"Yes, run around the church," Joseph replied, "and run twenty laps and you'll be ready to have a meal."

"Ah, where is your brother?" Father Jean Jacques asked again.

"I'm getting up, I'm washing my face. He and I will go out for a run with me later. By the way, Father, we'll invite you to have a meal at noon. Nothing will happen again this time. I promise!" Joseph said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay! No problem!" said Father Jean Jacques.

At this time, Napoleon also walked out from behind. His personality was not as easy-going as Joseph, so he just nodded to Father Jean Jacques and followed Joseph out the door.

The two of them ran along the road next to the church. Although Napoleon was still very short in height since entering the military academy, his physical fitness had improved a lot. So he first accelerated his speed and tried to throw Joseph off so that he could win.

But Joseph did not intend to make him do what he wanted.

"Just relying on your two short legs, I want to run ahead of me?" Joseph also accelerated his speed. After traveling to this era, Joseph knew that the medical level of this era was so low that it was too low. Even a small cold could take a person's life at any time. Therefore, strengthening physical exercise and improving immunity became Joseph's way to save his life. Although the Louis Great School did not have very high requirements for sports like military schools, Joseph had never relaxed his physical exercise. In addition, he had long hands and feet, and in terms of running, he was obviously better than Napoleon in terms of innate conditions. How could he let Napoleon, who had been suppressed by him, run ahead of him?

So Joseph also accelerated his speed, and in just a few steps, he ran to the front of Napoleon again. Then Napoleon began to accelerate again...

"Damn...if your legs weren't longer...I'm this time..." Napoleon bent over and said intermittently while gasping, the rising sun dyed the white mist sprayed from his mouth and nose a light red.

"It's just that I can't run... What's the use of making excuses... But... but this time it's much more difficult to defeat you... than before... than before." Joseph also gasped and replied.

Yes, Joseph believed that he must be able to overwhelm Napoleon in as many ways as possible, not because of his competitive nature, but because he had enough persuasion to brake Napoleon in the future.

"Okay, have you been gasping?" said Joseph. "If you gasp, I'll tell you something."

"I'm fine long ago." Napoleon stood up straight and said as he walked forward.

"I just won the paper prize." Joseph pretended to be calm and honest, "The prize is 600 francs, so at noon today, we can go and have a big meal to celebrate."

"Have your paper won?" Napoleon was startled and stopped.

"Of course, your elder brother has any problems that cannot be solved?" Joseph said proudly.

"What did you write?" asked Napoleon, "Why is it you who won the prize, not me?"

"Because I may have overturned one of Sir Newton's assertions."

"What? How is it possible?!" Napoleon stared at Joseph with wide eyes, trying to see the joking look on Joseph's face. However, he noticed that there was only the disgusting smugness on Joseph's face.

"I discovered a phenomenon that can be used to illustrate that the nature of light is closer to Hook's view. It is a wave rather than a particle." Joseph replied.

"It turns out it's just this." Napoleon said disdainfully, "I thought you overturned the three laws."

"The three laws cannot move in a short period of time." Joseph shook his head and said.

"Can't move in the short term?" Napoleon was shocked again, and he shook his head, "You mean you have discovered loopholes in the three laws, but there is no evidence to overturn it yet?"

"No." Joseph shook his head, "Where is there any obvious loophole in Sir Newton's three laws? I am just out of faith and I am unwilling to believe it."

"Out of faith? Is it because the Three Laws do not leave space for God?"

"No, no." Joseph shook his head, "I just can't accept the thorough fatalism. This argument will make me feel that life has no meaning."

"What does this have to do with fatalism?" Napoleon obviously didn't react.

"Ah, my stupid brother. You really have no talent for becoming a great man." Joseph said, "According to Newton's three laws, we can regard the present state of the universe as its past fruit and future cause. If a wise man knows the position of all natural movements at a certain moment and all the objects composed of nature, if he can also analyze these data, the movement of the largest object to the smallest particle in the universe will be contained in a simple formula. For this wise man, nothing will be vague, and the future will only appear before him like the past. Everything is doomed, just like Oedipus's face to that terrible prophecy, he cannot resist anyway, because even his resistance is just a destined link. If I really believe in the Three Laws, what is the meaning of my life?"

This statement was completely beyond Napoleon's expectations. He frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I haven't found the problem with your statement yet. But there must be problems with this statement. Otherwise, this conclusion is really difficult... Wait! Joseph, aren't you a devout believer? Isn't God the wise man? God is omniscient and omnipotent. However, you cannot even accept omniscient, you false believer."

Afterwards, Napoleon laughed haha, as if he was proud of his brother's problem.

"That's two things," said Joseph. "In addition, from your words, I smelled a Calvin smell, you heresy!" Joseph also responded with a smile.

Calvin was an important leader of Protestantism and an important supporter of determinism in philosophy and theology. France was the territory of Catholicism, and in the eyes of Catholicism, Calvin was a heresy. Now that Napoleon said that God's omniscience is predestination, Joseph retorted, saying that he was a heresy of the Calvinist school.

The two made fun of each other for a while, and then went back to the church together.

After breakfast, Joseph randomly took Napoleon's study, and took out his award-winning paper for Napoleon to study it seriously, and then showed him the two experiments involved.

"I believe in your point of view a little bit." Napoleon said, "Is there any problem with this conclusion?"

"Of course," Joseph replied, "Any wave needs a propagation medium, but there are many problems with what the light propagation medium is. For example, the speed of light is very fast. Although the accurate value still needs to be measured, it is no problem to be very fast. If a wave wants to be transmitted at such a fast speed, it means that its propagation medium should have a very large intensity. But we have never felt the resistance from the light ether when we act in such a hard medium. In short, there are many problems here, but I believe that with the deepening of research, this problem can be solved in the end, although the solution may not be the same as we imagined."

"What a pity," said Napoleon, "though I am very interested in it, I have to admit that at least I have no idea about it."

"My stupid brother, you have to know that everyone's talents are different. Some people are born to be stronger in some aspects, but not on the other hand. For example, in mathematics and other natural sciences, I think you are probably not as good as mine, but maybe in other aspects, you may be better than me. For example, if there is a small hole and you can get through it, I will probably not get through it."

Listening to Joseph's serious words, Napoleon was a little moved. To be honest, although he was pretentious and thought that he had a strong talent in mathematics and natural sciences, Napoleon was not a person who liked to deceive himself. Although he did not admit it, in his heart, he knew that his talent in this area was indeed not as good as his brother, so he was indeed a little depressed. Now the words before Joseph was really heartwarming, but who knew that he had a dog hole later, which made Napoleon really want to beat him up.

"Joseph, you are really not a good thing," said Napoleon.
Chapter completed!
