From university academician to chief academician

Ye Feidao: "The next step is the question and answer session!"

In an instant, many people below raised their hands.

Ye Fei pointed at a middle-aged white man casually.

The middle-aged white man stood up, and a staff member handed him a microphone.

The middle-aged white man put the microphone to his mouth and asked, "Hello, Academician Ye Fei!"

"The theory of loop quantum gravity constructs a space-time background that can support string motion, but it still has a huge problem."

"According to string theory, the cosmological constant should be very positive."

"Also, although the loop energy gravity theory can reconstruct the huge four-dimensional space that we exist in, it cannot construct the six-dimensional space in string theory that explains the properties of objects we observe. How do you answer this question? Thank you!"

Everyone in the audience looked at Ye Fei, wondering how Ye Fei would answer this question.

This is a very classic problem. Research on string theory, string motion, and quantum gravity theory cannot avoid this problem.

Therefore, many people here want to know how to answer this question.

Ye Feidao: "This is a very good question. I can draw a pattern and match it to answer this question for you."

After speaking, Ye Fei walked to the whiteboard, picked up a pen and drew a pattern consisting of twelve irregular quadrilaterals on the whiteboard.

The patterns Ye Fei drew on the whiteboard were displayed in real time on the monitors on both sides of the stage.

After a while, Ye Fei put down his pen, turned around and looked at the people in the audience and said: "Just like the causal set theory I created, like the loop quantum gravity theory, the causal set theory is a background-independent theory about space and time."

“It begins as a set of dots connected only by guiding principles, and dots are connected by cause and effect.”

"Just like this pattern I drew."

“This causal relationship defines how the points are connected in sequence, but it is also the only principle followed by the points in the set.”

“Observers discover that points form collections that give rise to the physical concepts of time and distance and give rise to relativistic space-time.”

"Causal sets may be related to nodes in the spin network in loop quantum gravity theory."

"This relationship can explain the six-dimensional space."

When many people heard this, they suddenly realized that this was the case.

If so, six-dimensional space can indeed be explained.

The reporters in the back row looked confused. What were they talking about? They understood every word, but when put together, they couldn’t understand.

How do you explain six-dimensional space? We also want to know.

The reporters couldn't understand Ye Fei's explanation even if they burned all their brain cells.

The reporters wanted to break their heads at this moment.

Ye Feidao: "Next question!"

In an instant, many people raised their hands again, and Ye Fei pointed to a middle-aged man with a dark complexion who looked like a Southeast Asian.

The middle-aged man stood up and took the microphone and asked, "Hello, Academician Ye Fei!"

"The theory of loop quantum gravity only involves space and time. How is it explained here?"

"Thanks!"

Ye Feidao: "The theory of loop quantum gravity only involves the theory of space and time, you have to think so."

"It should not discuss the category of objects studied by quantum mechanics, but a background-independent theory."

When everyone in the audience heard this, they all looked at Ye Fei in surprise.

Loop quantum gravity theory does not belong to the scope of quantum mechanics research?

This is wrong!

How could it not fall within the scope of quantum mechanics research?

Ye Feidao: "Many problems of gravity theory can be calculated by calculation, unlike string theory which can only draw conclusions indirectly by adding up infinite possible results."

"I'll give you an example below!"

After Ye Fei finished speaking, he walked to the whiteboard and wiped off the pictures on the whiteboard with a cloth.

Then, Ye Fei picked up a pen and wrote a set of numbers on the whiteboard.

【1+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+=2.000】

Ye Fei put down the pen in his hand, then turned around and looked at everyone, saying: "Everyone, please take a look!"

"Loop quantum gravity theory can directly get the exact answer 2.0 in one step, while string theory can only get 2.000 by adding the sequence."

"Loop quantum gravity theory builds spin networks and spin bubbles from fundamental space elements called nodes and edges..."

"..."

"Nodes and variables, like the one-dimensional loops of strings formed in string theory, have no physical meaning in themselves. They are purely mathematical concepts."

"So, if you want to explain the theory of loop quantum gravity that only involves space and time, you should not use the object category of quantum mechanics to explain it, but should use a background-independent theory to explain it."

"This not only makes the explanation more accurate, but also makes it easier to explain."

Everyone nodded, as if this made sense.

Next, Ye Fei named five more people. They asked Ye Fei questions, and Ye Fei answered them one by one.

Those reporters seemed to be listening to a book from heaven.

They could understand every language Ye Fei spoke, but they were blinded by what it meant when they were put together.

Tong Siyu quietly asked Yu Mengmeng on the side, "Sister Yu, do you spend this time every time you participate in such an event?"

The activity was like reading a book from heaven, making her feel like an idiot.

This made Tong Siyu, who had been a top student since childhood, very speechless.

Yu Mengmeng glanced at Tong Siyu, as if she could read Tong Siyu's inner thoughts, and whispered: "You have to get used to it, you will often encounter such occasions in the future."

"These people are among the most intelligent people on the planet. We cannot compare with them."

"If we compare with them, it's not a gap in IQ, but a gap in species."

"Just like people look at dogs, they look at us and we are equivalent to dogs."

Tong Siyu stuck out her tongue and chuckled playfully: "Sister Yu, you're not so exaggerated!"

"Why is it not so exaggerated?" Yu Mengmeng said funnyly: "There is such a big gap between us and them."

Ye Fei raised his wrist to look at his watch, then put his hand down and said, "That's it for today's academic report. Thank you everyone!"

After speaking, Ye Fei bowed deeply to the audience.

"Bah bang bang..." Everyone present stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

Today's academic lecture was really worthwhile, not only for them to hear the proof process of the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture.

It also lets them know the research direction of unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Beili Country, the home of Edward Witten!

Edward Witten took off the virtual glasses on his face and sat up from the sofa.

Then he didn't put down the virtual glasses and just held them in his hand.

He was sitting on the sofa with his legs spread apart and his arms on his legs, supporting his upper body. He held virtual glasses in his right hand, tilting his head and frowning in thought.

He reviewed the unified answer of quantum mechanics and general relativity explained by Ye Fei.

After a long time, he suddenly shook his head and said: "No, no, that's not the case. This is contrary to my research."

"Ye Fei proposed the theory of loop quantum gravity."

"And my research is on string quantum gravity theory."

“Ye Fei added his own causal combination theory to his loop quantum gravity theory.”

"But many things are assumptions made by Ye Fei. He also assumed that four-dimensional space does not exist."

"This is not only contrary to my research, but also contrary to many studies in the physics world."

Four-dimensional space exists. This is an assumption put forward by many studies in the physics community.

"If the four-dimensional space does not exist, it goes against some of Ye Fei's past research. Isn't he refuting some of his past research!"

Some of Ye Fei's research in the field of quantum science also assumes the existence of four-dimensional space.

Now Ye Fei assumes that four-dimensional space does not exist, which is contrary to some of his research in the field of quantum science.

This is equivalent to the left hand beating the right hand, and oneself negating one's own research.

"Some of his quantum research will suffer if he does this!" Edward Witten shook his head slightly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's return to the loop quantum gravity theory and string quantum gravity theory."

"Ye Fei assumes that four-dimensional space does not exist, which is absolutely wrong."

"Even Einstein said that four-dimensional space may exist. Why did he say that four-dimensional space does not exist?"

"If four-dimensional space does not exist, then the quantum mechanics that has been studied about how quantum entanglement travels through dimensional space is also wrong."

"Therefore, Ye Fei's statement that four-dimensional space does not exist is wrong."

"So, his theory of loop quantum gravity is also wrong."

"Yes!" Edward Witten clenched his left hand suddenly and said, "That's wrong."

At this moment, there is a lot of discussion in the world about the loop quantum gravity theory proposed by Ye Fei.

Because Ye Fei's loop quantum gravity theory can perfectly explain all problems in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

But there is a prerequisite, assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist.

This is impossible.

If it is assumed that four-dimensional space does not exist, then many theories in the physics world will be destroyed.

This is absolutely not allowed.

Besides, what about quantum entanglement?

It can travel through dimensional space.

If quantum entanglement cannot travel through dimensional space, how can it travel across the universe instantly?

It has been experimentally proven that quantum entanglement can travel across the universe. Ye Fei's information can travel across the universe instantly, which can also prove that quantum entanglement can travel across the universe instantly.

Since quantum entanglement can travel across the universe instantly, there must be a four-dimensional space.

The world we live in is a three-dimensional space. If we want to travel across the universe instantly, only when quantum entanglement enters the four-dimensional space can we achieve instant travel across the universe.

This also proves that four-dimensional space exists.

Many people are very confused.

If four-dimensional space exists, then Ye Fei's theory of loop quantum gravity is wrong.

But the loop quantum gravity theory is wrong and cannot explain all the problems encountered in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

But if the loop quantum gravity theory is correct, then it denies the existence of four-dimensional space.

This denies all theoretical research based on four-dimensional space.

This is a dilemma!

At this time, Edward Witten issued an explanation on Twitter.

[I have a few points to make regarding the loop quantum gravity theory proposed by Ye Fei.

First, I deny the correctness of the theory of loop quantum gravity.

Secondly, four-dimensional space exists.

Although, it has not been proven so far that four-dimensional space exists.

However, based on quantum entanglement, we can assume that it exists.

Since four-dimensional space exists, then the theory of loop quantum gravity is wrong. 】

This explanation issued by Edward Witten quickly spread throughout the physics community, and its influence was also very large.

Who is Edward Witten!

That is the second physicist alive in the physics world today. The first is Chen Ning Yang.

Even if a person like this spits out a breath, he can attract the attention of the entire physics community.

What they say is often authoritative.

With Ye Fei's current influence in the physics world, he cannot compete with Edward Witten and Yang Zhenning.

Unless he makes achievements equal to these two in the field of theoretical physics.

For example, make epoch-making conjectures.

For example, conjectures like the eight major conjectures of mathematics.

Or Ye Fei can prove a grand unified theory.

In this way, Ye Fei's reputation and status in the physics world can compete with these two people.

Closer to home, after seeing Edward Witten's explanation, many people thought in their hearts: "That's true. If four-dimensional space does not exist, then what is quantum entanglement?"

"The non-existence of four-dimensional space has a devastating blow to many theoretical studies in physics."

"For example, the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics is about research on quantum entanglement, which is based on the premise of the existence of four-dimensional space."

"If four dimensions don't exist, then the research is wrong."

"This also means that the three people who won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics should not win."

Jinling, Ye Fei's office!

Ye Fei was sitting behind his desk, typing on the keyboard and writing something.

At this time, the assistant knocked on the door and came in.

The assistant walked up to Ye Fei and said, "Dean, there are a group of reporters outside who want to interview you."

Ye Fei stopped moving his hands instantly, looked up at his assistant, and said in surprise: "Reporter? What do they want to interview me for?"

Ye Fei couldn't remember anything he needed to interview recently. His biggest event recently was Zhang Yitang's academic lecture a week ago.

Ye Fei did not participate in any other activities.

The assistant said: "They want to interview you about the theory of loop quantum gravity."

Ye Fei frowned slightly: "Interview me?"

Ye Fei also heard that there was a lot of controversy in the physics community about the loop quantum theory he published recently.

The main issue lies in whether it is assumed that there is a four-dimensional space.

Ye Feixin said: "It's time to make an explanation, otherwise it wouldn't be good to let them continue to quarrel."

Ye Fei did not make it clear at the time about assuming a four-dimensional space.

As a result, many people misunderstood what he meant.

Assuming that four-dimensional space exists, it also does not exist.

Assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist is just to better explain all the problems encountered in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

When all these issues are explained clearly, the four-dimensional space can be assumed to exist.

The meaning is to explain the problems encountered in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

So assume that four-dimensional space does not exist.

Because this can facilitate the explanation of problems in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Wait until the problems in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity are explained.

Then abandon the assumption that four-dimensional space does not exist, and instead assume that four-dimensional space exists.

This behavior looks like a scumbag.

But let’s be scumbag, all these actions are for the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Ye Fei looked up at his assistant and said, "Take them to the reception room, I'll be there right away."

When the assistant heard what Ye Fei said, he was surprised and said: "Dean, do you want to receive them?"

Ye Feike had never received this group of reporters before, and always asked them to leave.

Ye Feidao: "Yes!"

The assistant said: "Okay, Dean!"

After speaking, the assistant left Ye Fei's office.

Ye Fei saved what he wrote, then closed the computer, stood up and walked outside.
