Chapter 414 What It Looks Like! What a Look!

Edward Witten kept turning his head and looking at the door, almost writing the three characters "why" (letters) on his face. He had no idea that the previous sentence, while he was still studying seriously, would suddenly turn around in the next sentence...

Then, left?

He sat there in a daze for a long time, then turned around and asked Zhou Li, "Why did he leave?"

"Did he say that?" Zhou Li was a little uncomfortable, but he understood after looking at the time, "Going on a date."

"Xiaoqing? Dating? Dating a woman?"

"if not?"

"...But we are communicating problems, the most important mathematical problems, M-theory problems."

"so what?"

"Don't you understand?" Edward was in disbelief. "M theory, or mathematical research, is the most important. We are making rapid progress! And it's significant progress!"

"I know." Zhou Li nodded understandingly.

"what do you know?"

"I……"

Zhou Li was blocked. He wanted to really explain it to show that he understood it, but he really didn't understand the mathematical structure. He could only give a brief summary, "You are studying to break through the boundaries of multi-dimensional space." The problem is to use 2 to the Nth power as the breakthrough point, right?"

"You think 2 to the Nth power is probably related to quality, or is a very important factor. I understand."

Edward Witten looked at Zhou Li suspiciously, but he couldn't question it any more. It would be very impolite to do so.

He simply said, "Well, can you share your opinion? Maybe it will be of great help to me to put myself in your perspective and share your understanding." The tone in his voice was very sincere, and he really wanted to continue talking. this problem.

Zhou Li opened his mouth to say something. After a long time, he looked down at the time and said with some regret, "I really want to discuss it with you, Mr. Witten, but it's too late today. If I don't go back, maybe There was a family problem.”

Edward Witten reacted immediately, "So you also deal with relationships with women, right?"

"Well……"

"To a certain extent, yes." Zhou Li said hello to the receptionist and left quickly.

Edward Witten looked around the room and found that only he and the person in charge of reception were left, and there were a few thick security personnel standing at the door. He suddenly felt that the world had become lonely. He sighed, looked at the person in charge, and asked He said, "Okay, it's really late. Where should I stay?"

"opposite."

The person in charge of the reception breathed a sigh of relief. He also hoped that the arrangements could be made quickly, otherwise he would have to stay up all night. He explained, "We are thinking about academic exchanges between you and Academician Zhao. It is convenient for you to live closer."

"Thanks!"

Edward Witten took another look at Zhao Yi's room, took away a few drafts of the calculations just discussed from the table, sighed and went to the opposite side.

…

For the next two days in a row, Edward Witten could not see Zhao Yi again. At first, he asked where Zhao Yi had gone, but then he simply stopped asking because Zhao Yi clearly said that he would continue discussing the issue on Monday.

He was expecting an acquaintance.

Camila and the administrative staff who came with her came all the way after getting off the plane, and they all looked a little tired.

Camila came over and complained, "Many people in the school said that you and your wife had a fight and left in anger. If I hadn't known that you two had been separated for a few years, I would have thought it was true. Next time, could you tell me first? one time."

"Yes, Mr. Witten."

The administrative staff also followed suit.

Edward Witten didn't care about the two people's complaints, and his mood wasn't much better, because he hadn't seen Zhao Yi for two consecutive days. He had been hoping to continue to communicate about the problems he discovered, but the wait was really spent. He didn't wait for Zhao Yi to come back.

He found that he was patient.

For example, following the person in charge of this university around, not only the person in charge, but also people from the Science and Technology Department.

Someone came over to specifically ask him what he thought of the 'boundary theory of particles'. Of course he was very supportive and spoke highly of it. By the way, he also complained about Zhao Yi, "That is a great theory created by genius. But genius is more You should stay in the office, not play around."

"I just heard that you are going to establish a specialized particle mathematics research institution, the core of which is the boundary theory surrounding particles."

"This is a really, really good idea, but the premise is that you can allow Zhao Yi to concentrate on doing relevant research instead of giving himself a day off on weekends to date girls. If my students are like this when conducting major research, If he does, I will definitely give him the lowest rating and criticize him face to face..."

The others looked at each other with helpless expressions. Why didn't they want Zhao Yi to focus on particle mathematics research?

But it can’t be done!

Camilla also knew the reason why Edward Witten was depressed, and she also became depressed. She was still looking forward to it before coming. She really fell in love with Zhao Yi, and liked his intelligence, knowledge and seriousness. She really Geniuses always have a strange charm. Deep in her heart, she has a little hope that Zhao Yi will break up with that Chinese girl. Even if the girl saves her, she has a very likable and cheerful personality, but when it comes to competing for men, the final What does it mean to kiss your closest best friend?

result……

Their relationship was so good that Zhao Yi gave up discussing new research findings with Edward for her sake.

"I'm really not as good as her!"

Camila thought about the girl carefully, and felt a little disappointed in her heart.

…

on Monday.

Zhao Yi finally came back.

In fact, he came back on Sunday afternoon, but after going out for two days in a row, he was really tired, so he stayed in the teachers' building to take a rest, and returned to the staff dormitory the next morning.

He only packed up his things in the staff dormitory, and then went directly to the Biomedical Research Institute.

He still has to go to the laboratory on Monday. He needs to pay attention to the research progress of the laboratory project, help Zhang Wei, Liu Chengjie and others solve some problems encountered in the research, or make suggestions of his own.

This work doesn't take much time, but the efficiency is very high.

Zhao Yi stayed in the laboratory for more than two hours, then checked the time and went to half a class. He went to the cafeteria early to eat before actually returning to the staff dormitory.

Edward Witten knew that Zhao Yi was coming back and had been waiting at the door for a long time. He lived opposite Zhao Yi. At first, he frequently looked downstairs or glanced at the corridor to see if anyone was coming up. Later, he moved He sat on a lounge chair in front of the corridor window, flipping through a magazine in his hand.

When Zhao Yi was walking upstairs, Camila had already helped to report in advance, "Edward, Zhao Yi is back!"

"Yeah?"

Edward Witten stood up suddenly and stood at the top of the stairs, staring at Zhao Yi step by step. He even looked a little excited, "You are finally back!"

"ah?"

Zhao Yi did not expect that Edward Witten would greet him at the stairs, and said quickly, "Don't stand here, go in, am I back?"

"I've been waiting for more than two days." Edward Witten said in a somewhat resentful tone, "In the past two days, I have been thinking, why don't you put research first?"

Zhao Yi smiled awkwardly and was about to explain.

Edward Witten continued, "Why have you achieved so many results despite not putting research first?"

"this……"

Zhao Yi was a little confused about what Edward Witten meant. Is it a compliment or a sarcasm?

Maybe both?

He shook his head and explained, "You are wrong. I always put research first? The premise is, working hours."

"Do you have working hours for doing research?" Edward Witten pursed his lips hard and complained, "But what about the morning? What did you do? I have been waiting all morning..."

"Research!"

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I went to the medical institute, which is the Institute of Biomedicine. I have a laboratory there and there is a lot of research to do."

"Medical research? I think I've heard that, but our research is more important, right?"

"Medicine is more important!"

Zhao Yi said clearly, "I mainly do biomedical research. Mathematics and particle mathematics are just side interests."

"...?"

Edward Witten was even more puzzled. He asked, "Medicine, what is there to study? Doctors are just technicians. Medical research relies on instruments. It would be too wasteful for you to study medicine."

His words were full of academic disdain.

Top mathematicians and theoretical physicists stand at the top of the pyramid of academic contempt, while medical research and biological research can only stand at the middle level at best. In fact, there is a certain reason. Many top mathematicians are truly Geniuses, but few medical researchers are considered geniuses.

Zhao Yi had no idea of ​​'academic contempt', he said, "It's just that we have different opinions. I think medical research is very important and very interesting. First of all, medical research has great application prospects, and some major research can also benefit all mankind. .”

"And there will be many new discoveries in medical research, including the 2CV-Binghydrogen molecule and Tianqing protein we discovered a while ago, which are very effective in the treatment of AIDS."

"Some discoveries will be very interesting. In addition to treating diseases, there may also be other gains. For example, I heard that there is now a genetic technology that can analyze all the genetic functions of humans, and it may be possible to use certain changes in genes. , allowing humans to achieve longevity in the most scientific way.”

What Zhao Yi said was like wow wow, Edward Witten chose to 'shield', but the next part was quite clear. He thought about it and suddenly realized, "So that's it, medical research can extend life? It's true, it's possible. accomplish!"

"So as long as you can extend your life and live for a few more decades, you can have more decades to do research, and you can devote more time to the research of particle mathematics and M theory..."

"This is really a good idea. I always feel that I am getting old..."

Zhao Yi felt strange when he heard it.

He was clearly talking about 'prolonging life' and making humans healthier, but in Edward Witten's case, how could it be 'live a few more decades and have more time to do research'?

How did this happen?

Zhao Yi shook his head silently and decided not to argue with Edward Witten. He could understand him however he wanted. He was such a great person anyway.

…

Zhao Yi and Edward Witten exchanged problems together again, and both of them were immediately immersed in it. It was really good for them to do research together. They could provide each other with ideas, exchange mathematical problems together, and compare new ideas.

But research cannot be done smoothly. They still need more inspiration and more ideas.

For several days in a row, they had been making arguments around 2 to the nth power, but found that there was no substantial gain. Later, Edward Witten thought for a long time, "We can not demonstrate 2 to the nth power for the time being, but Think of it as an idea, a hypothesis. If it is your research, the hypothesis is that particles are composed purely of energy, and the boundaries do not contain energy points containing units of 'two to the nth power'."

Zhao Yi thought about it carefully and gave a thumbs up to Edward Witten.

Edward Witten continued, "Otherwise, we will make your argument together. If we argue separately, I think it will be difficult to gain anything."

"That's fine."

They began to carry out mathematical framework and detailed research around Zhao Yi's ideas.

This isn't smooth either.

After they made the 'hypothesis', they could deduce with certainty that for particles that do not contain mass, the value of the peripheral energy point does not contain '2 to the Nth power'. However, the only particles that Zhao Yi really completed the argument for were purely composed of Energy is composed of photons.

In addition, it is not enough to just demonstrate photons. Photons are the most common particles and theoretically do not contain the unit energy of '2 to the Nth power'. It is meaningless to study only photons. They need to study those and the Nth power of two at the same time. Square-related, that is, particles with mass.

Mathematical structure is also a big problem.

When they were doing mathematical calculations together, they discovered that any further calculations would be limited by the 'Higgs field', or 'three-dimensional space'. If they wanted to continue their research, they would definitely have to solve this problem. .

The two of them kept staring at the whiteboard and scratch paper without moving their eyes for many times.

Zhao Yi dragged his chin and looked carefully. He didn't know how much time had passed. He moved his neck and found that the muscles had become a little stiff. He turned his head and looked at Edward Witten. He simply stood up and walked to the corridor outside. Standing in front of the window and looking at the small playground in the distance.

It was a turf playground.

The turf is not intended to provide a football field. There are also rows of brightly colored flowers planted on it, and there are stone piers and stone chairs dotted among them. From a distance, it looks like a small garden, a place for students to rest. When the weather is good, it looks like a small garden. There will be people sitting at the stone table studying.

"Maybe I should go for a walk?"

Zhao Yi thought about it, but felt that it was meaningless. Just like the students, he went to the small playground with a book in his arms. The surrounding environment was very comfortable, but how many of them were really studying?

Most of them just enjoy the environment.

The real place to study in school is in the library or study room, which is a relatively quiet and atmospheric place.

He thought about it and returned to the issue of space.

The problem they encountered was that mathematical modeling was limited by space, because there was no way to explain the problem: some particles act at great distances!

At the same time, another issue will also be involved: mirror symmetry and parity non-conservation!

The combination of the two becomes very complicated.

It was difficult for Zhao Yi to clear his thoughts in one breath. When he was thinking carefully, he heard a shout from the stairs, "Zhao Yi!"

He turned around and looked over. It was Hu Zhibin, followed by... Teacher Wang Gang?

Zhao Yi saw Hu Zhibin and Wang Gang, but he was still thinking about the question just now, as if he had caught some inspiration, but he didn't want to be suddenly disturbed. He immediately shouted loudly, "Teacher Hu, stop! Stop!"

"What's wrong?"

Hu Zhibin raised one hand in the air and stopped completely, with a very puzzled expression on his face.

Zhao Yi stretched out his hand to block him, and pressed his forehead with his hand. He seemed to be thinking carefully, and said subconsciously, "Stop, don't come over."

"...?"

Hu Zhibin still didn't understand.

Wang Gang immediately came back to his senses and suddenly realized, "I heard someone say that Academician Zhao is doing research with Mr. Witten. He must have thought of something!"

"What can you think of?" Hu Zhibin was a little confused.

"Is it...a problem of symmetry?" Wang Gang thought in a low voice, "Look, he asked not to move, stopped, and then stretched out his left hand and put it on his forehead. What does that mean? It means taking the middle as the dividing line. A mirror symmetry..."

"It makes sense!"

Hu Zhibin suddenly understood. He immediately followed Zhao Yi's movements and explained, "It should be mirror symmetry. He stretches out his left hand and I stretch out my right hand. It's symmetrical!"

"This time it's the left leg!"

"Right leg!"

"He walked toward the back, and I walked toward the back... I can't see him. Wang Gang, tell me what he did!"

"kindness!"

Wang Gang said seriously, "Stretch out your right hand, put it on your stomach, pull the waistband of your pants, raise your arms flat, and jump..."

"Dance again..."

"Stand up, stand up straight! Twist your waist left and right, twist your waist back and forth...and twist your waist back and forth...front and back..."

"That's not right!"

Hu Zhibin twisted his waist back and forth again and realized something was wrong. Before he could say anything, he saw Zhou Zhengbin, dean of the School of Science, walking upstairs, turned the corner and happened to see him...

And his actions?

Zhou Zhengbin stopped in surprise and asked, "Teacher Hu, what are you doing? Can't you... pee at the stairs?"

Then the voice turned into a scolding, "As a teacher, you must pay attention to your personal image. What kind of actions are you doing? Fortunately, I saw it. Let lesbians and female students see it, what a look!"

"What does it look like!"

"￣□￣｜｜!￣□￣｜｜!￣□￣｜｜..."

Hu Zhibin turned his head mechanically with embarrassment and wanted to explain before he realized that Zhao Yi had already entered the door, "This..."

He turned to look at Wang Gang.

Wang Gang rushed past Zhou Zhengbin with a 'swish', leaving only one sentence, "Dean Zhou, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

"Stop!"

Hu Zhibin roared with nineteen degrees of despair...
