Genius of the Rules-Style System

The meeting report is accepted by the person responsible for review by the nuclear organization.

At every report meeting, the Nuclear Organization will send out acceptance personnel. After confirming that there are no problems with the report, the report will be included. The team that has been included is equivalent to confirming the end of the work.

The job of the accepting personnel is to determine whether to include or not to include.

Reports will definitely have some other incidental research results, and there have been times when they have caused controversy. However, reports with incidental research results often attract many top physicists, and the acceptance party does not have to think about the research report. correct or not.

It's different now.

The report of the discovery of new particles that may be the Higgs particle is really influential. A big goal of nuclear organizations in particle collision experiments is to find new particles, especially the crucial God particle.

This discovery has very significant significance for physics.

The acceptance party suddenly became embarrassed.

Normally speaking, including the report is equivalent to approving the content of the report, otherwise it means disapproving, but among the top physicists at the scene, not many of them commented at all.

And the one who made the evaluation, for example, Glashow, can his words be believed?

The acceptance party personnel hoped that more top physicists would speak up, but the physicists who talked about it were all silent. On the contrary, many computer engineers approved the final results of the report.

It's hard to say.

The research uses computer algorithms to eliminate most of the particles to highlight the locations where new particles are discovered. It is this calculation principle that circumvents the internationally accepted standards for the discovery of new particles. The accepted standards cannot make a judgment. The one in the front row The physicists did not speak, and the acceptance personnel were also at a loss.

They know not to make decisions lightly.

If you listen to Glashow's non-inclusion report, what if it turns out to be correct later? Glashow would not be held responsible, and they would become a joke to the physics community and to nuclear agency scrutiny.

Included?

What if it's wrong?

There are not many physics experts who can do qualitative work. Who dares to include a report on the discovery of particles?

The two acceptance personnel simply called their superiors and communicated with several top physicists. They decided to temporarily include the report. What happens next depends on the situation.

That's not something little people like them worry about.

When he heard the decision of the acceptance party personnel, Glashow was obviously very angry. He even said that he would not include it, but the acceptance party personnel still decided to temporarily include it.

Glashow felt embarrassed and said harshly, "That is a piece of fraud. You will know the mistake."

He simply walked out of the venue angrily.

…

Zhao Yi walked out of the venue with a smile on his face and was surrounded by a large group of people.

There are some physicists among them, but many more are computer engineers.

Zhao Yi is not well-known in the physics community and has little influence, but he is at the top of the pyramid in terms of mathematical computers.

The core of the research report made at the meeting just now is also a computer algorithm.

Many people have never thought that we can use computer algorithms to analyze particle collision data to discover new particles.

A group of people gathered around and asked all kinds of questions--

"How did you come up with the idea?"

"The program you designed only contains part of the screening method, right? I have studied the screening method, and it is very powerful!"

"This is really interesting research. If the results are proven to be true, maybe you will win the Nobel Prize in Physics."

"It should be the Turing Award, right?"

"I think so. Most of it is computer content, but it does have a significant impact on the particle model!"

Zhao Yi communicated with them with a smile and answered various questions. It was not until more than half an hour later that he left the crowd and went back.

After finishing the research report, many people in the domestic team were ready to go back, and their work was over.

Chen Ming was packing his things and booked a flight ticket for the next day.

Zhao Yi also booked a flight for the next day. He was not sure whether to go back because there was no definite reply from the acceptance party.

Ruan Wenye suggested, "Just stay here with me, let them go back first, and wait until there is definite news."

Zhao Yi was a little depressed. He couldn't wait to go back. Fortunately, the nuclear organization moved very quickly.

When faced with the major issue of discovering the suspected Higgs particle, it was impossible for them to be slow. When the report had just been completed, the nuclear organization held an internal meeting.

As a member of the Nuclear Organization's board of directors, Kibor also attended the meeting and described his involvement in the research process.

At five o'clock that afternoon, news came from Kibor that the Nuclear Organization had decided to hold an internal academic meeting and would invite Zhao Yi to give a research presentation at the meeting. Afterwards, they would discuss and come up with the results. The most likely scenario was , use the program created by Zhao Yi to verify the data of other partitions and the data of Shu Yan last time.

If the results match the study's conclusions, then they will definitely have discovered a new particle.

Of course.

This is when nothing goes wrong.

So Zhao Yi can't go back for the time being.

This is also normal.

The problem of discovering new particles is simply too great.

Putting aside the impact on particle models, that is, the impact on quantum physics, it is even directly related to more than two Nobel Prizes.

If the Higgs particle is verified to exist, then Higgs himself, who predicted the Higgs particle, will definitely win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

In addition, the physicist who predicted the Higgs field has a chance to win the Nobel Prize.

This concerns several physicists.

As the person who analyzed data and discovered the Higgs particle, Zhao Yi's contribution was relatively small, but it was enough to win half a Nobel Prize.

at the same time.

The top physicists in the nuclear organization also feel a little embarrassed, because the core of Zhao Yi's research is computer algorithms rather than pure physical assumptions and analysis.

Think about it.

A large number of top physicists worked together to study particle collision experiments. As a result, a mathematician used a computer algorithm to screen and find the God particle?

It sounds funny!

Two days later.

The Nuclear Organization held an internal discussion, and many of the participants were top physicists, including top computer engineers working in the surrounding areas.

It is very rare for a computer engineer to be the protagonist of a physics conference. Many computer engineers who participated in the conference looked at Zhao Yi with admiration, and they believed in Zhao Yi's research results more than the physicists present.

The meeting quickly got to the point.

Zhao Yi stood in the center of the venue and explained the screening mechanism again. Just like the last report meeting, he allowed the participants to ask temporary questions.

This is what I hope more people can understand the screening mechanism.

Many physicists were prepared to find out the problem of the screening mechanism in the discussion. They made a detailed understanding in advance, but the final result was that more people believed in the screening mechanism. After understanding the principle of the mechanism, they found that There is really no problem with the logic.

After the meeting ended, some people began to congratulate Zhao Yi, including some physicists, "No matter whether we can find new particles this time, your screening program will become an important means for us to find new particles in the future! "

"This is a completely new approach that has never been thought of before."

"Awesome! Very meaningful!"

"I believe that using this method in the future will help find more new particles or other discoveries!"

Many people see the point of the screening process.

Some top physicists also expressed their admiration after understanding the screening mechanism.

After the meeting, the targeted work to be done was determined, which was to allocate some personnel to work on data entry, use the screening process to go through all the data obtained in the past, and then make data graphs for analysis.

"If the conclusion is still the same, it can be judged that a new particle has indeed been discovered."

Ruan Wenye seemed even more excited than Zhao Yi, "Do you know what this means?"

Zhao Yi followed the train of thought and said, "A new particle was discovered? Maybe it's the Higgs particle?"

"...Of course." Ruan Wenye rolled his eyes, "I'm talking about honor, achievements, reputation, these!"

"oh."

Zhao Yi listened.

"This is a world-class discovery. Maybe you can win the Nobel Prize in Physics with this." Ruan Wenye said very forcefully.

Zhao Yi didn't care much, "I asked Mr. Kibor and he said there is a chance, but the chance is not great unless there are other contributions."

"That's awesome!" Ruan Wenye continued to explain, as if he wanted Zhao Yi to understand the significance of discovering the Higgs particle, but Zhao Yi wanted to know more about when he could go back.

He couldn't wait to return home.

The timing of this trip to Switzerland was something he didn't expect. He originally thought it would only take one or two weeks, but it ended up being delayed for almost a month.

Winter vacation is over.

Yanhua University has already started school.

Zhao Yi opened the Penguin account and saw the messages on it. Many people sent messages, and he responded to them respectively. He also specially told Lin Xiaoqing to visit her when he got back.

At this time, it is the early morning time in China. Most people are not online, but there are still people online.

Fan Lei and Li Renzhe.

The two guys looked like they stayed up late playing games. They must have sat in a row at the Internet cafe.

Zhao Yi replied to Fan Lei and immediately received a new message, "Zhao Yi, when will you come back? It's been a week since school started. In the days without you..."

"how?"

"Lao Li often talks about you."

"/Vomit!"

After Zhao Yi sent an emoticon, he looked at the messages sent by Fan Lei, hummed to the tune of the song, and found that it was really coherent.

He understood what Fan Lei meant.

Li Renzhe often sits with him, but it is not because he is famous. It is purely because many girls will look over and they can enjoy the attention together.

Zhao Yi felt funny thinking about it, probably because he missed college life. He replied, "I really want to go back. It's boring to stay here. But I'm waiting for the result, about half a month or so. Maybe the time will be better." A little longer.”

He wasn't sure.

Fan Lei asked the key question, "How long is your visa?"

"I have a work visa."

"Work visa? Do you have a job there?" Fan Lei's surprised tone could be felt as he typed.

"yes."

Zhao Yi didn't explain much.

After the internal meeting of the Nuclear Organization, an insider came to him and offered him a brand new researcher contract.

As long as he signs this contract, his identity becomes a researcher of the Nuclear Organization.

Zhao Yi was a little resistant at first, but after Ruan Wenye talked about it, he realized that a researcher at the Nuclear Organization does not have to do anything at all, he is just a representative of his status.

This is the same as becoming a member of an academic organization.

The Nuclear Organization is an international research institution. The organization's base is near the town. The turnover of internal researchers is very high. Most of the researchers are just in name. They are top physicists and have not participated in the internal work of the Nuclear Organization. , will also become a researcher by name.

Previously, Zhao Yi participated in the team work as a member of the domestic team and as a temporary intern of the organization.

It's different now.

Because the research influence is so great, the Nuclear Organization must want him to be one of its own. Otherwise, it would sound weird for an outsider to take the Nuclear Organization's test experiment data and analyze and discover new particles.

Zhao Yi thought about it and decided that joining as a researcher would give him an additional identity, which would not do him any harm.

So, it’s pretty good.

As a researcher at the Nuclear Organization, you cannot get any salary. It is just a proof of identity, but it is still of some use. For example, it will be easier to apply for a visa to come to Europe, and you can also come here to sign long-term or short-term contracts with the laboratory. work contract.

etc.

Time passed slowly.

The Nuclear Organization is busy with Zhao Yi's research, and many people are involved in the verification work. On the contrary, Zhao Yi, as the protagonist, lives a quite leisurely life. He only occasionally goes to the conference center to see the progress of the verification work. , the purpose is just to see when the results will be available and what he needs to do. The rest of the time is completely at his own discretion.

Zhao Yi originally wanted to use his time to do something else, for example, study Goldbach's conjecture.

However, he thought about it and decided to take it easy.

For a long time after arriving in Switzerland, he had been busy with intense work, and the most he could do was wander around small towns.

Except for the day of the test experiment, he had never left the town. It felt quite boring, so he simply took time to travel around.

Zhao Yi hired a driver and just visited this city and that city. He even wanted to go to Amsterdam in the Netherlands or Hamburg in Germany. It is said that the two most famous men's paradises in Europe are located in these two famous places. .

Unfortunately, it’s really a bit too far!

“Switzerland is really not a very good country!”

"There is no similar place..."

“Next time I come to Europe, I will definitely choose the Netherlands or Germany!”

Zhao Yi thought seriously.

After wandering around several surrounding cities, a week passed.

Most of the domestic team members have left, and the only acquaintance left is Ruan Wenye.

In fact, Ruan Wenye can leave. His time is still very precious. He should return to the country when he can leave, but what the Nuclear Organization is studying is too important.

Ruan Wenye decided to wait for the result with Zhao Yi.

If Zhao Yi's discovery is confirmed, the honor will not only belong to Zhao Yi alone, but also to the entire domestic team and even the entire country.

That's the God Particle!

From the prediction of the existence of the God Particle to the nature of the prediction and demonstration, no domestic person participated, not even a Chinese.

The results of it?

Now it was discovered by a young domestic scholar using computer means.

This is a breath of fresh air for the country's physics and computer science, and it can also arouse a huge sense of honor in the domestic academic community. The significance it represents is not just a research discovery.

Ruan Wenye felt very excited when he thought of this.

…

Zhao Yi originally expected that it would take about half a month to get the results, because the amount of data from the last and this experiment was very large, but it turns out that the nuclear organization's work efficiency is still relatively high.

Ten days later.

Ruan Wenye told him the news immediately, "I was at the conference center just now, and most of the verifications have come out."

"The verification results are the same as yours. There are obvious abnormalities at the 125GeV position."

Ruan Wenye felt very excited when he spoke. He noticed the indifference on Zhao Yi's face and shouted, "Do you know what this means?"

"Is there definitely a new particle at the position of 125 GeV? Maybe it's the Higgs particle?"

"Yes! Why aren't you excited?"

"...Didn't you already know that?" Zhao Yi was a little confused.

Ruan Wenye took a deep breath, "This time is different. Last time you just made the report yourself and only tested a small part of the data. Now it's almost all the data results!"

"oh!"

Zhao Yi is indeed relatively calm.

It would be a strange thing if there were no obvious abnormalities in the detection, because the results of the "Law of Causality" feedback have determined that the Higgs particle exists at the 125 GeV position.

So...what's the big deal?

He already knew it.

soon.

Zhao Yi received a call from the conference center. The caller was Frank Wilczek, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics a few years ago for his achievements in quark particle theory (strong interaction).

He arrived at the convention center and met Wilczek.

Wilzek's Mediterranean hair style is very obvious, but he likes to keep his hair long, with hair flying on both sides and convex in the middle, which can leave a deep impression on people. He seems not to care about his own image at all, but to make it look like his own. He handed the report to Zhao Yi and said, "Your research is correct."

He looked in disbelief and said with a sigh, "The test results are quite optimistic. We have tested most of the data, whether it is partition data or overall data, and we can find a bulge at the 125GeV position."

As he spoke, Wilzek ​​took the report document, turned to the last few pages, and showed Zhao Yi the graphics representing the final results, "This is really incredible, a novel screening method. I believe that with this method, we can It’s easier to discover more.”

Zhao Yi exhaled and felt relaxed.

Wilzek ​​continued, "There must be something there, maybe a new particle, maybe something else. It's not yet certain that it is the Higgs particle, and this requires further research."

"But in any case, this is a valuable discovery, and I thank you on behalf of the Nuclear Organization."

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "You are too polite."

"No, strictly speaking, you are not a member of the Nuclear Organization, but a pure mathematician or computer expert. Otherwise, I would not formally thank you."

Zhao Yi and Wilzek ​​exchanged a few polite words and then asked about the next related research plan. Wilzek ​​heard what he meant and said with some surprise, "Are you ready to go back?"

"yes!"

Zhao Yi nodded, "I'm still studying at Yanhua University. The second half of the semester has started. I don't want to miss too many courses."

"..."

Vierzek opened his mouth for a long time, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

In front of him was a world-class number theory expert who used computer algorithms to find signals representing new particles in the data from particle collision experiments.

That was a quasi-Nobel Prize-level discovery!

The results of it?

Is he going back to China to study?

what the hell?

Shouldn't all such geniuses finish college in their teens?

Zhao Yi had no time to waste here anymore. He was eager to go back. Once the result was confirmed, it had nothing to do with him.

He couldn't participate in the subsequent research work even if he wanted to. Instead of staying here and continuing to waste time, it would be better to go back and enjoy university life.

same day.

The Nuclear Organization published the latest results on its official website, which immediately caused a sensation in academic circles around the world.

Many media reporters gathered at the nuclear organization's research base, preparing to interview Zhao Yi, who had developed a screening mechanism to find new particle signals.

Then they found that Zhao Yi could not be found.

at this time.

Zhao Yi has already boarded the plane back.
