Chapter 762 I Hope It Is the Starting Point of Physics!
(Additional update (1/1) for reader Yiwanzhou’s previous tip, thank you.)
On June 8th, thousands of troops and horses crossed the single tree and climbed Mount Huashan one after another.
On the day of China’s annual college entrance examination, Jinling, the ancient capital of six dynasties, also welcomed physicists from all over the world.
The campus of Nanda Xianlin Campus is filled with bright red banners, such as "Warmly celebrate the convening of Professor Xu Chuan's strong power unification report!" Various banners such as "The Holy Grail of Physics, the Crown of the Peak" also welcomed a group of special guests.
There are internationally renowned physicists who can only be seen in textbooks, and there are also unknown young newcomers who come to this event with their mentors.
With such a huge lineup, even top conferences such as the biennial International High Energy Physics and the International Physical Society Annual Meeting will probably be difficult to compete with.
In order to maintain order and ensure the safety of speakers and participants, the Jinling City authorities mobilized almost half of the city's police force, and even dispatched armed police officers and soldiers to escort the entire report meeting.
It is quite rare for a scholar to receive such a degree of attention.
In the morning, as it approached eight o'clock, physicists and materials scientists who came from all over the world passed the strict security checks one after another, walked into the NTU campus, and walked towards the auditorium.
Standing at the entrance of the auditorium of Xianlin University, several "fooled" volunteers from nowhere gathered in the school, wearing red clothes with Chinese-English bilingual armbands on their arms and holding red flags with the physics conference logo printed on them. At the door, scholars who came to attend the meeting were guided.
Of course, rather than being ‘duped’, it’s better to say that they did it voluntarily.
After all, this kind of volunteer quota is not a volunteer who was caught by the traffic police running a red light and dragged to the road to direct traffic on the zebra crossing.
This kind of opportunity to meet physicists from all over the world, especially those who can meet their "inner" idols and experts, is something that students in the School of Physics must grab.
Taking advantage of the break between work at hand, two master's and doctoral students from the Institute of Physics were gathering together, looking at the grand occasion of banners hanging everywhere on the campus and at the entrance with expressions full of emotion.
"Fuck, do you know who I just saw?"
"who?"
"Mr. Yang!"
"?Which Mr. Yang?"
The companion asked subconsciously, then reacted and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Oh my god, that person is here too? If I remember correctly, he is over a hundred years old this year, right?"
"Yeah, Sichuan God is still awesome."
"I agree! If only I had half the brains of Sichuan God."
"Half? I only need a tenth!"
Just as he was sighing, a majestic voice came from beside him: "What the hell are you talking about!"
"Hello, Professor Li."
After hearing the reprimand, the two students who were talking nonsense suddenly trembled, and they all straightened up after saying hello.
"One-tenth? If you had one-hundredth or one-thousandth of Academician Xu's talent, you wouldn't have delayed your graduation thesis for half a year! What a shame!"
Professor Li Manping, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes in the summer, looked at his two students with a look of hatred, wishing that they would fight with their arms.
I finally secured opportunities for them, hoping that they could chat more and learn more with physicists from various countries who came to attend the conference.
The result is good, they are actually here talking about Academician Xu’s brain cough. Talking about Academician Xu’s talent?
Do you still expect yourself to be half as smart?
Fish lips!
Could they have imagined Academician Xu's talent? If he really wanted to get what he wished for, he would first ask for a tenth, no, just one percent!
After scolding the two students who were fishing, Professor Li suddenly saw a familiar face not far away. His eyes lit up, he said hello from afar and walked over quickly.
"Academician Gao, I didn't expect you to come too."
At the entrance of the newly built Xianlin Auditorium, an old man who was preparing to enter stopped when he heard the sound. After seeing his old friend, he smiled and said hello.
"Who wants to miss the unified theory report conference on strong power held by Academician Xu?"
Academician Gao Yuanning, wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, smiled and joked, and continued: "This is the 'holy place' in the field of physics research, the crown on Mount Everest. Even Mr. Einstein is wandering around Hesitating in front of this difficulty, people now say that Xu Yuan has reached the top, and it can be said that he is alone in seeking defeat. I believe that anyone who understands how terrifying this problem is will not miss this event. "
As China's leader in the fields of particle physics and high-energy physics, Academician Gao Yuanning is the vice chairman of the Chinese Physical Society and an academician of the Academy of Sciences, so he naturally received the invitation from here.
But then again, even if he didn't receive the invitation, he would take the initiative to sign up to attend this report meeting.
After all, this kind of opportunity to witness history probably only happens once in a lifetime.
If you miss it, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.
In 2015, the research team he led participated in the bottom quark physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and announced the observation of a baryon state composed of pentaquarks.
This is the first discovery of a pentaquark particle, and it was named an important development in physics of the year by Science magazine.
As a researcher in the field of particle physics, it is impossible to miss the pinnacle theory of the century, the unified theory of strong electricity.
"It's quite interesting to say that Dugu seeks defeat."
Professor Li Manping smiled and continued: "But for that person, this statement is really correct. Since he became famous, he has really been alone in seeking defeat. None of the published papers and press conferences have failed. ah."
Academician Gao Yuanning smiled and said: "I don't know what the situation will be like this time. Strong power is unified. I didn't expect to see this great miracle in my lifetime."
"Yes, the crown of physics in the 21st century. I didn't expect to see it at the beginning of this century."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Backstage in the auditorium, teachers and staff from the Administrative Affairs Office of NTU Xianlin Campus were busy and nervous doing final inspections.
From microphones to projections, from speakers to projections, all equipment during the exchange meeting must be ensured without any problems.
Although this is not the first time that Xianlin Branch has held a grand event of this level, everyone does not dare to relax at all.
This is the world's top academic exchange meeting. There are more than two thousand physicists present. If you include the students who came with their instructors to see the world, the number may exceed five thousand.
For the physics community, even the biennial International Conference on High Energy Physics, or even the largest International Physics Annual Meeting, may not be as grand as it is today in recent years.
It can be said that almost all physicists who are qualified to participate and have time to participate are here.
And the top scholars in the theoretical physics community have reached more than 80%.
Including CERN, which competes with CRPHC, it has completely stopped its own research in the past two days.
Because their physicists have traveled thousands of miles to come here.
At eight o'clock in the morning, in the crowded auditorium, Xu Chuan, dressed in formal attire, walked out from behind the scenes and stood next to the podium placed on the stage.
Seeing this not-so-tall, but majestic figure, the noisy conversations in the auditorium suddenly quieted down. Everyone's eyes turned to the front.
Being stared at with blazing eyes by countless people, even Xu Chuan, who had already experienced countless big scenes, still felt overwhelmed by this.
Of course, it wasn't just this big scene that made him excited. More is still facing the upcoming new era of physics.
More importantly, this new era was started by him himself.
This feeling of violent blood gave him endless power at this moment, making his spirit more concentrated and active than ever before.
Taking a deep breath to calm his violently beating heart, Xu Chuan glanced around at the attendees whose eyes were full of excitement, hope, excitement and other emotions, and spoke slowly.
"First of all, welcome to everyone who has come to participate in the exchange report. I am also very grateful to you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here to listen to my academic report."
"Today's exchange report, as you can see, is about the mathematical proof of the unified theory of strong electricity."
After a slight pause, Xu Chuan did not go directly to the topic as usual. He changed the topic and continued: "Before officially entering the report meeting, I would like to make some digressions."
"Of course, it's also about strong electrical unification."
Hearing these words, the scholars who came to participate in the lecture in the auditorium were a little surprised. They looked over curiously, ready to hear what the famous Professor Xu wanted to say.
After all, Professor Xu has always been famous for being clean and concise when holding report meetings.
Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to these people's surprise. He cleared his throat and said:
"In modern physics, the concept of energy is more central than the concept of mass. This is reflected in many aspects. What is truly conserved is energy rather than mass."
"Therefore, it also leads to various basic equations now, such as the Boltzmann equation in statistical mechanics, the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics, and the Einstein equation about gravity. Equations also include energy."
"So, what is the origin of mass? Is it really a product of the Higgs mechanism? Or is it the embodiment of energy?"
"Modern biomedicine tells us that viruses can only survive with the help of more complex organisms (hosts). In particle physics, there are also such real particles and virtual particles."
"Virtual particles are far more fragile than real particles because they require external help to exist. However, they are reflected in the equations of quantum mechanics, and according to these equations, virtual particles can affect what we can see. The behavior of particles.”
"For example, the rest mass of a photon is strictly zero in our understanding. But in the universe, light is bent by the influence of gravity."
"So, what are the factors that interact between photons and gravity?"
"If the energy and mass exchange equation proposed by Einstein is universal and valid, then does mass originate from the condensation of energy?"
"There are many, many problems of this type in physics."
"In today's report meeting, I may be able to answer part of it with the help of the unified theory of strong electricity, but more of it is still an unsolvable mystery."
Looking at the confused eyes in the audience, Xu Chuan smiled and continued: "It is said that the unified theory is the ultimate crown of physics in the 21st century. Whoever can prove it will win the greatest glory of the 21st century. ”
"But I hope it is a cornerstone, a ladder that can lead to the future."
"Okay, let's stop the digression here for now."
"Next, let's get down to business."
After the opening remarks, Xu Chuan pressed the control pen in his hand.
Behind him, on the silver curtain, a picture of a fluctuating atomic nucleus and dancing bright electrons, like a silver star emitting dazzling light in the dark and deep universe, was in front of everyone.
"Unified Theory of Strong Electricity!" 》
(This picture is not the most gorgeous one among the pictures I selected, but I personally think it is the most representative of atomic nuclei, electrons, strong and weak forces, electromagnetic forces, wave-particle duality. Almost all particle information can be found inside.)
PS: Thanks to the 3867-point reward from the one-shot-to-the-world boss. Thank you, boss.
Also: Please give me a monthly pass, there will be another chapter later.
