Chapter 497 The Bustling World of Physics

With the end of the first half of the report, the relevant news quickly spread in the physics community.

During the lunch break, many scholars who were younger and participated in the report posted the videos and pictures they took to different websites.

On the internationally renowned physics forum PhysicsForums, the videos and pictures related to the first half of the report, especially the part where Professor David Gross asked questions, were marked as hot topics by many physicists and aroused a lot of discussion.

[I heard that Professor Xu's paper was found to have defects! ]

[Is it true? He actually made mistakes sometimes? ? ]

[He has so many papers, which one are you talking about? ]

[Which one in physics can there be? The one that was reported today, the unified framework of strongly correlated electron systems, is said to have been found to have problems by Professor David Gross. ]

[The news above is outdated. The defects are true, but not completely true! Professor Gross did find the defects in the paper, but Professor Xu solved them directly on the spot later! ]

[What? Solved on the spot? So fierce? ]

[Yes, and that defect still involves the theory of strong-electric unification. ]

[Strong-electric unification? ]

[Part of it, and it is not known whether it is correct, but Professor Xu said that he will hold a three-day discussion meeting to verify it. ]

PhysicsForums is one of the more famous papers in the physics community. Many physicists at home and abroad have registered accounts and made speeches and discussions on it. In addition, some official organizations will also set up accounts on it to publish some news and expand their influence.

Therefore, the discussion on this forum can basically reflect the popularity of an event in the physics community.

To be honest, at the beginning, the discussion of the unified framework theory of the strongly correlated electron system was not very high on the forum.

Although it is extremely difficult and has a sufficient status in physics, the paper is not very friendly to ordinary scholars, and most scholars who discuss it on the forum find it difficult to understand.

The relevant discussions on the forum are also limited to some gossip, but after it involves the theory of strong-electric unification, the popularity began to soar.

After all, when it comes to the theory of strong-electric unification, basically everyone who can talk about it on this forum can talk about it.

On the other hand, it is not only professional academic forums that are hotly discussed, but also some social networking sites.

Even though most people may not have heard of what a strongly correlated electron system is, most people have heard of the epic problem of strong-electric unification, or the unification of the three forces of strong, weak and electric forces.

After all, it is too famous.

Of course, compared with the more rational discussions on professional forums, which focus more on the problem itself, the reactions of the general public are basically not about the problem itself.

[Have you heard? Professor Xu unified the theory of strong electricity? ]

[What the hell? It's him again? ]

[If I remember correctly, he has solved two millennium problems. ]

[This is too scary. If this goes on, will all the mathematical and physical problems in the world be solved by him? ]

[Am I crazy or is he crazy, or is the whole world crazy? ]

[I watched the video, but I don't understand it. I just want to ask, is this amazing? ]

[Nonsense, you don't understand it, how can it not be amazing? 】

【I think if he can explain this theory so that I can understand it, then it is really amazing. 】

【.】

On the Internet, the relevant heat is constantly fermenting.

In reality, the report meeting on the strongly correlated electron unified framework theory was also completed in a stable and orderly manner under the organization of Nanjing University.

Compared with the first half, the physicists present in the second half were obviously more interested in the "Theory of Typical Behavior of Small Polarons in Strong Electron-Phonon Interaction Systems" completed by Xu Chuan at the report meeting.

The questions in the afternoon were basically related to this theory.

This is normal. On the one hand, it is a brand-new theory.

On the other hand, the strong electron-phonon interaction system involves some areas of strong-electromagnetic unification.

For the physics community, the theory of strong-electromagnetic unification is one of the ultimate dreams pursued by all physicists in this century.

Although there is gravity behind it, for today's physics, it can be said that there is basically no hope for unified gravity in this century.

So as a second choice, mathematically unifying the three forces of strong, weak and electric forces is the dream of all physicists in the 21st century.

Now that this dream has seen a glimmer of hope, how can it not make people excited?

Although the strong electron-phonon interaction system is only a small part of the strong-electric unification field, it has opened a gap to the goal.

Continuing to explore along this route is undoubtedly more promising than the previous aimless exploration.

After the lecture, Xu Chuan took advantage of the venue of Nanjing University to continue a targeted discussion and exchange meeting on the "typical behavior theory of small polarons" and the "unification of strong and weak forces".

Although many scholars left for various reasons, at least half of the physicists who came to attend the lecture stayed.

Some stayed for one day, and some stayed for three days.

In addition to these physicists who came from afar, many domestic scholars who did not originally come to attend this lecture also took the high-speed rail and plane to come.

The typical behavior theory of small polarons in the strong electron-phonon interaction system has opened up a path for the unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity, which is enough for all physicists to look forward to and make a trip.

During these three days, in addition to discussing the typical behavior theory of small polarons, Xu Chuan also heard many physicists' questions and ideas about the strong and weak electric unification theory.

For this research, he did not hide his private interests and communicated with the scholars who came to discuss with him.

The unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity is not only the dream of these physicists, but also his dream.

But this road is not so easy to walk.

After all, if it were easy, many physicists in the physics community today would not be running around like headless flies.

There are all kinds of conjectures and theories, but a path to breakthrough has never been found.

There is no way. Before the unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity, the physics community still has a "basic" threshold to solve, that is, the "Yang-Mills existence and mass gap" problem.

This millennial problem in mathematics stands in the way of the unification of the three forces, like a lion guarding a treasure. If this problem is not solved, it can be said that even the threshold of the unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity cannot be touched.

For Xu Chuan, even if he has the advantage of solving this top century problem, it is not necessarily possible to complete it by one person.

The collision of different sparks of thought can give birth to more inspiration and ideas.

Three days is not a long time, and it passed quickly in the communication.

With the departure of many physics circles, the campus of Nanjing University has returned to its previous tranquility.

Although the students coming and going are still lively, it is still much quieter than the grand occasion of seeing those top physicists almost casually on campus a few days ago.

After staying up for two nights and rushing out the paper "Theory of Typical Behavior of Small Polarons in Strong Electron-Phonon Interaction Systems", Xu Chuan sorted it out and submitted it together with the paper "Unified Framework Theory of Strongly Correlated Electronic Systems" to "Physical Review Letters", one of the four major journals in the physics community.

This is the top journal in physics, and its impact factor is second only to "Physical Reports".

The latter has a high impact factor because it is a review. This journal mainly publishes research overviews of important issues in the field of physics.

Under normal circumstances, this journal generally does not accept submissions. The articles published are usually invited by the journal to comprehensively summarize, explain and conclude the research in a certain field by famous physicists.

So it has a great influence.

As for "Physical Review Letters", it is the No. 1 journal for normal submissions. If the status is compared, it is probably similar to "Annals of Mathematics" in the field of mathematics.

After submitting the two papers, Xu Chuan did not care about this matter anymore.

However, although he did not care, the wave of physics has just begun to rise.

On arxiv, one paper after another began to explode crazily.

It must be said that today's theoretical physics community is really a place where you can be idle.

The last time Xu Chuan found traces of the existence of inert neutrinos and followed the clues to explore the dark matter and dark energy behind them, arxiv was also like this, and various related papers were swiped one after another.

This time is the same. The traces of the unification of strong interaction and strong and weak electric forces have once again made the theoretical physics community climax.

Those ordinary physicists are all rushing to write papers and then rush to post them on arxiv to occupy a spot.

There is no way, those big guys at the top have almost occupied all the places that can be occupied. It is so difficult for ordinary theoretical physicists to write a paper with perfect logic and can withstand preliminary scrutiny that it is simply tear-jerking.

I can only say that if the theoretical physics community does not come up with something new, there will be no place for those undergraduates and graduate students to write graduation papers.

PS: I worked overtime until 1 a.m. yesterday, so I didn’t have time to update. Sorry, dear readers, I will make up for it tonight.
