From university academician to chief academician

In the living room!

There are three sofas in the living room, which is more than 100 square meters. There is a long sofa one meter away from the wall. There are single sofas placed at 90 degrees to the left and right of the long sofa.

There is also a long coffee table in front of the sofa.

There were four people sitting on the sofa. Yu Mengmeng, Tong Siyu and the makeup artist were sitting on the couch, and the photographer was sitting on the single sofa on the right.

Tong Siyu sat on the sofa and looked around curiously, then looked at Yu Mengmeng and said: "Sister Yu, I heard that Academician Ye Fei has four academies of science and more than a dozen research institutes. Is this true? ?”

There are more than a dozen research institutes, not all of which Ye Fei has to participate in the management of. Many of them are under the name of Ye Fei's research institute.

The resources of the institute can be used, and the follow-up research of some successful projects of the institute will be delegated to these institutes for research.

It is equivalent to saying that the research institute eats meat and the research institute drinks soup.

Even so, these institutes are exhausted.

The rest of the people looked at Yu Mengmeng when they heard Tong Siyu's words.

Yu Mengmeng nodded slightly and said, "That's true."

Tong Siyu's eyes widened in surprise, her little mouth opened slightly, and she said, "It's so amazing."

Yu Mengmeng smiled slightly and said: "Academician Ye Fei is a Fields Medal winner. The most popular technological metaverse in the world was developed by Academician Ye Fei. Therefore, a dozen research institutes are nothing."

Everyone nodded slightly.

Tong Siyu asked: "I heard that the research institute under Academician Ye Fei gathers many scientific research talents from across the country. Everyone here is a graduate of world-renowned universities, and ordinary 211 graduates are not qualified to come."

At this time, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Ye Fei walked in with a smile, looked at Tong Siyu, and said with a smile: "Madam, my research institute still accepts students who graduated from 211 University."

Then, Ye Fei looked at Yu Mengmeng and replied with a smile: "Ms. Yu, we meet again."

After speaking, Ye Fei nodded to the photographer and assistant next to Yu Mengmeng.

Yu Mengmeng and others quickly stood up and said hello to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei raised his hand and pressed down, saying: "No need to be restrained, everyone, please sit down!"

Ye Fei looked at the assistant beside him and said, "Bring us some tea."

"Okay, Dean!" the assistant said.

After speaking, the assistant walked out.

Ye Fei walked to the empty single sofa and sat down, then looked at Yu Mengmeng and said with a smile: "Ms. Yu, I heard that you want to interview me about the theory of loop quantum gravity?"

Yu Mengmeng stood up and sat down from the middle sofa to the left, as close as possible to Ye Fei, so as to facilitate the interview.

The photographer picked up the camera at his feet, then walked to the coffee table, put the camera on his chest with both hands, looked at the surveillance equipment, and found the right angle to shoot Ye Fei and Yu Mengmeng.

Yu Mengmeng pointed a small microphone at her mouth and said: "Academician Ye Fei, the international community now says that your theory of loop quantum gravity is wrong, and that your hypothesis that four-dimensional space does not exist is wrong. For What do you think of this?"

After speaking, she brought the small microphone closer to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei smiled lightly and said: "I also read the posts on Stack Exchange. There are indeed many people on there saying that my theory of loop quantum gravity is wrong."

"There are still many people who call me and convey to me in subtle ways that the loop quantum gravity theory is wrong."

"I know they can't understand the idea that four dimensions don't exist."

"Actually, it's my fault..." Ye Fei said in a dumbfounded voice, "I didn't make it clear at the time. I just told them to assume that the four-dimensional space does not exist."

"But they didn't tell them about the follow-up study."

Yu Mengmeng's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said in surprise: "So, there is a sequel below?"

At this time, Ye Fei's assistant led a few people and served them tea.

Ye Fei picked up the tea and took a sip, then put the cup down and said, "Of course!"

"Actually, my idea at the time was that in order to facilitate the study of problems encountered in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity, I assumed that four-dimensional space did not exist."

"Because only by assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist can we easily explain the problems encountered in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity."

"After these problems are solved, we will change from assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist to assuming that four-dimensional space exists."

"Of course, changing to assuming that four-dimensional space exists will lead to errors in explaining the problem by assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist."

"However, these problems have been solved, and it is much simpler to explain by assuming the existence of four-dimensional space."

Yu Mengmeng and others were confused when they heard it. What if there is no error in the four-dimensional space? It is assumed that there is an error in the four-dimensional space.

Ye Feidao: "This explanation is a bit confusing. Let me explain with a very simple example."

Ye Fei thought for a while and said: "This is like solving a mathematical formula. You can get the answer by multiplication and division, and you can get the same answer by the price reduction method."

"It's just that multiplication and division are easier to solve, while addition and subtraction are much more complicated."

"Use multiplication and division to get the answer. Now that you know the answer, you can't use multiplication and division in the future. Instead, use addition and subtraction to solve math problems based on the known answer."

"Mathematical problems are like problems in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Multiplication and division are like assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist. Addition and subtraction are like assuming that four-dimensional space exists."

"Assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist is the same as assuming that four-dimensional space exists. It is the same as multiplication, division, and addition and subtraction."

"So, you understand what I mean!"

Yu Mengmeng nodded as if she understood, and said, "I understand somewhat, but I don't quite understand yet."

Ye Fei sighed deeply in his heart, knowing that with the intelligence of people like Yu Mengmeng, it would be difficult for them to understand what he meant.

But Ye Fei believes that his explanation has been very clear, and there should be many people in the scientific community who know the meaning of his explanation.

Ye Fei said helplessly: "Okay, you don't need to understand, you just need to publish what I said word for word to the newspaper."

Yu Mengmeng nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Academician Ye!"

Ye Fei asked: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Yu Mengmeng said: "Academician Ye, did you publish the theory of loop quantum gravity to study the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity?"

"As far as I know, this is currently the most difficult research in the field of physics. Whoever succeeds in the research will become the next Einstein."

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and said, "I have not studied the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity."

"Huh?" Everyone present looked at Ye Fei in surprise.

You have published the theory of loop quantum gravity, but are you still studying the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity?

Ye Feidao: "The theory of loop quantum gravity is another thing I need for research, and the theory of loop quantum gravity is also suitable for the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity."

Yu Mengmeng's eyes lit up, her pupils dilated slightly, she stared at Ye Fei closely and asked, "Can I know what kind of research requires the theory of loop quantum gravity?"

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and chuckled: "I can't tell you this."

Regarding the research on instantaneous travel, Ye Fei did not want the outside world to know.

The purpose of instant travel is to obtain dark matter.

Compared with the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity, Ye Fei wants to start with dark matter.

After all, the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity is too difficult, and he cannot yet prove it with his current ability.

And dark matter is promising to prove its existence.

Ye Fei doesn't want foreigners to know that he is studying dark matter.

Ye Fei wants to obtain dark matter first and then study it silently.

Making a fortune silently is the way to go.

The light in Yu Mengmeng's eyes dimmed a little, and she sighed in her heart, and then said with a smile: "Academician Ye, then I have no other questions."

"Thank you."

After saying that, everyone stood up and Ye Fei shook hands with them.

When he got Tong Siyu, Yu Mengmeng introduced: "Academician Ye, this is Tong Siyu, a newcomer to our TV station. Starting next year, he will take over my work, and she will do your interviews in the future."

Tong Siyu said quickly: "Hello, Academician Ye!"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Hello, please take good care of me in the future work!"

Tong Siyu said: "I should be the one to say this. Please take care of me in the future."

Ye Feidao: "Let's take care of each other!"

Ye Fei looked at the others and said, "You guys sit down, I'm still busy with work, so I won't accompany you."

Yu Mengmeng said: "As you please!"

Ye Fei turned around and left after hearing this.

Tong Siyu looked at Ye Fei's back as he left. Ye Fei opened the door and walked out, and the door closed with a click.

Only then did Tong Siyu turn to look at Yu Mengmeng beside her and said with a smile: "Sister Yu, Academician Ye is very kind to others!"

Yu Mengmeng looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please sit down and have a rest. We will leave after drinking tea."

After everyone sat down, Yu Mengmeng smiled and said: "He is very kind to us, but you have never seen his severe side."

"He is not like this towards foreigners. He is very strict."

"Once I went to interview Academician Ye with a group of foreign reporters. Academician Ye ignored the foreign reporters the whole time and only occasionally answered one or two questions from them. Most of the questions were asked by our Xiaguo reporters."

Tong Siyu said in surprise: "Isn't he afraid of causing the dissatisfaction of those foreign reporters and talking nonsense on the Internet?"

Yu Mengmeng chuckled and said: "This is Academician Ye's personality. He is never afraid of scandals, and he doesn't care what others think of him or say about him. He seems to be indifferent to any evaluation of him by the outside world."

"Okay!" Tong Siyu shook her head slightly: "You really have a personality. Others wouldn't be like this."

The next day!

CCTV News released a video of Ye Fei’s interview, which quickly attracted the attention of the entire physics community.

After watching the interview video, many people suddenly realized that this was the case. It seemed that I had misunderstood Ye Fei.

Ye Fei still admits the existence of four-dimensional space. The reason why he previously said that four-dimensional space does not exist is to prove the problems encountered in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

France, University of Orsay!

In the office of Alan Aspe, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics!

Alan sat on the office chair and watched Ye Fei's interview video on the computer in front of him.

After watching the video, Alan had a smile on his face, and the thick mustache on his lips curled up.

Alan said: "Is this right?"

"How could the four-dimensional space not exist?"

"If four-dimensional space does not exist, then what is quantum entanglement?"

Alan admires Ye Fei very much.

But when Ye Fei said that assuming four-dimensional space does not exist, Alan was very angry.

Because he is the winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, and his research field is quantum entanglement.

If four-dimensional space does not exist, this proves that his research is wrong and he will not be eligible to win the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Although he admired Ye Fei, Ye Fei touched his cake.

In the face of interests, even my own mother would not recognize her, let alone Ye Fei!

Alan smiled and said: "It's okay now. Ye Fei admits the existence of the four-dimensional space."

"Ye Fei wants to use the assumption that four-dimensional space does not exist to solve the problems encountered in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity."

"After the problem is solved, based on the known answers, we can then assume the existence of four-dimensional space to solve the problem of unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity."

"I can also study this. Maybe I can come up with something!"

Alan is now somewhat interested in the loop quantum gravity theory proposed by Ye Fei. He wants to use the loop quantum gravity theory to solve the problem of unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity.

At this moment, many people in the physics community recognized Ye Fei’s theory of loop quantum gravity after watching the video of the interview.

Ye Fei's explanation is very clear. Assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist and assuming that four-dimensional space exists are just like multiplication, division, addition and subtraction in math problems.

Assuming that four-dimensional space does not exist is because only this method can more easily explain the problems in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Assuming the existence of four-dimensional space is to solve the problem by assuming the existence of four-dimensional space after knowing the answers to the problems in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Anton Salinger, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, posted on Stack Exchange, saying: "Looking at the theory of loop quantum gravity, it is necessary to assume that the four-dimensional space does not exist to explain the problems in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. It’s completely feasible.”

“And it’s simpler, more convenient and more convenient, and it’s an effective method.”

"The most important thing is that the space-time of loop quantum gravity theory is also granular."

Einstein's general theory of relativity holds that space-time is completely smooth with only occasional bends.

And some physicists believe that at the smallest scales, spacetime may be granular.

Although this statement goes against Einstein's general theory of relativity.

But some scientists predict that granular spacetime has the potential to solve two of the most pressing puzzles in astronomy today.

The first difficulty is the inconsistency between the two mathematical frameworks, general relativity and quantum mechanics.

The second puzzle is the expansion of the universe.

Ye Fei was very surprised after seeing Anton Salinger's remarks.

Ye Feidao: "It seems that Anton Salinger still has some ability. He discovered the granularity of space and time in the loop quantum gravity theory so quickly."

"I thought it would be a long time before I discovered this!"

As Ye Fei said before, the theory of loop quantum gravity is not to prove the unity of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

But to study instantaneous travel and search for dark matter.

The study of instantaneous travel requires the study of cosmic expansion, relativity, quantum mechanics and other knowledge.

In the study room of Edward Witten's home in Beili Country!

Edward Witten sat in his office chair and looked at Anton Salinger's remarks on Stack Exchange on the computer screen.

After a long time, he shook his head slightly: "No, it's still wrong!"

"The theory of loop quantum gravity is incorrect."

"They were all deceived by Ye Fei."

"Using the hypothesis that four-dimensional space does not exist to explain the problems in the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity."

"The underlying logic of this is wrong."

"Even the underlying logic is wrong, and the theory of quantum gravity in the natural circle is also wrong."
