Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 306 The significance of the existence of theory

On the way back to Yanhua University, the topic of conversation among the people at the institute turned to the physics research conducted by Zhao Yi.

They are all medical researchers, but after all, they all have doctoral degrees and are at a certain level. It can also be said that they have some understanding of physics and can discuss it symbolically.

Zhao Yi was sitting in the back seat of the car, and several people turned around to look at him, asking with interest the published research questions.

He explained briefly.

The contents are generally 'particle energy', 'boundaries', 'temporarily unverifiable theories', etc.

Added together, these words sounded a bit noble, and a lot of words of admiration were immediately spoken——

"Amazing!"

"This research is too profound!"

"I believe it will be the biggest achievement in physics this year!"

"..."

Zhao Yi felt very comfortable hearing this.

Although I know that others just don't understand the polite compliments, and even mean some flattery, but everyone likes to hear good words.

Liu Chengjie sat next to Zhao Yi and asked with interest, "Can this research win the Nobel Prize?"

Everyone around looked at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi felt a pain in his heart and replied forcefully, "No!"

"Oh~"

Liu Chengjie felt that he said something wrong, but he didn't know where he said it wrong.

Zhao Yi really doesn't want to think about the Nobel Prize in Physics. His main mission is this award.

But, it’s so difficult!

This research is not aimed at the Nobel Prize at all. It is just the theoretical content that comes to mind when thinking about the relationship between waveforms and space boundaries. It will definitely not win the Nobel Prize in Physics. No matter how influential it is, it is impossible. .

The Nobel Prize focuses more on practical research. No matter how good a physical theory is, it must be scientifically verified before it has a chance to win.

Issues such as the Higgs particle and the Higgs field have been raised decades ago, but they have not been confirmed even now. Many physicists have confirmed this.

But, so what?

None of the researchers related to the Higgs field and the Higgs particle won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

After Zhao Yi discovered the signal of the new particle, the physics community said differently. They believed that the signal represented two and a half Nobel Prizes in Physics.

From no Nobel Prize to two and a half Nobel Prizes.

Therefore, verification is the key.

The new theory only provides a research direction for theoretical physics. Even if more physicists believe in the new theory, it is impossible to win the Nobel Prize for it.

Unless one day the theory can be scientifically verified.

After returning to the staff dormitory, Zhao Yi turned on the computer with interest and checked the relevant news.

Yanhua University responded very quickly.

After discovering that "Classical and Quantum Gravity" contained Zhao Yi's research paper, Yanhua University immediately issued an official congratulatory announcement, "Congratulations to Professor Zhao Yi of our school for his research on 'Boundary Theory of Particles', which was published in the top international physics magazine " Classical and Quantum Gravity”!”

Although the impact of the paper is not yet certain, the fact that the paper can be published in the world's top magazines is an achievement worth celebrating.

The same is true for domestic standards for paper publication results.

It cannot be said that top international magazines are better than domestic ones, but it is indeed more difficult to get into top international magazines.

In general, for top international academic journals, manuscripts need to be reviewed by top scholars in the professional field before they can be published.

After a research result is published, it is often difficult to judge in a short time how much influence it will have in the future and how great the result will be. The grade of the journal in which it is published can explain something. For example, small domestic academic journals, It doesn't have much international influence at all. Compared with papers in top international magazines, it completely lost at the starting line.

Others would also like to…

If your research is great, why not publish it in a top magazine? Therefore, magazine grade is one of the criteria for judging.

This is one of the reasons why domestic scholars strive to publish their research results in top international magazines.

If you just go to a top magazine and publish a research paper, it is actually not a big deal. Many scholars can do the same.

One of the reasons why Zhao Yi's papers are so popular is that he himself is a topic of heated discussion in the academic world, and his public popularity is comparable to that of a second-tier star.

The second point is George Smoot’s comments.

The winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics sounds like a great figure in physics. Commenting on a paper will attract people's attention, not to mention such a praising comment.

There was a discussion on the Internet.

"It would be great if my paper was reviewed by a Nobel Prize winner."

"No need to comment, just watch if you are interested."

"The physics achievements promoted by the Nobel Prize winners are also said to be able to establish a sect and become a branch of theoretical physics. So, in the future, there will be many physicists dedicated to studying particle boundary problems?"

"Zhao Yi is amazing. He seems to be omnipotent in mathematics, computers, biology, and now physics..."

"Physics has been around for a long time, okay? He discovered the new particles!"

"..."

Under the public opinion of admiration and praise, many people also began to study what exactly Zhao Yi's achievements were.

Many physics majors also stood up and complained, "I can't understand it!"

"I don't understand it at all, especially the mathematical content in it. As a PhD student in the Department of Mathematics, I feel like I'm reading a book from heaven."

"What the hell is this!"

"Is this the gap between people? The physics research that Zhao Yi is currently studying, just the mathematical calculation part, is no longer something that we mortals can understand."

Many people lamented that "Zhao Yi seems to have upgraded."

Many of Zhao Yi's previous studies, including the proof of Kakutani's conjecture, the screening method, and even the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, all used ordinary knowledge to produce amazing results. The content of the papers he wrote It is also very 'people-friendly', and people with a certain understanding of professional knowledge can understand part of the content.

There is not much current research content, but it is too difficult to understand.

Fortunately, there is never a shortage of experts on the Internet. Soon someone gave a simple explanation of Zhao Yi's research, "Zhao Yi's research is to explain the particle boundary energy distribution."

"It's a theory, not a real research finding."

"The contents of those mathematical structures are descriptions of boundary energy distribution."

This explanation will be much clearer.

While there are continuous discussions in China, there are also many professional discussions abroad.

The reaction from the physics community was the biggest.

The physicists who first stood up to comment on the article did not say very pleasant things. Almost all of them had absolute objections.

"That's a layman's idea of ​​what particles are made of."

"Incomprehensible things!"

"It can't be called research at all. It should be regarded as a pile of mathematical garbage."

"This study makes no sense at all and can never be proven because it is inherently false."

The opinions expressed by foreign physicists also affected domestic public opinion, and many media simply stopped reporting on it.

just in case……

As several top physicists who have come forward have said, the research content is false, cannot be proven, and is fabricated. It is really embarrassing to tout it and make propaganda reports.

Two days later.

Public opinion abroad has reversed.

The first person to stand up was the newly minted Nobel Prize winner in physics George Smoot. He said in a public interview, "The boundary theory of particles is a new theory that is worth exploring and has great potential!"

"I believe that it is just like string theory. It has many research directions and will become a branch of theoretical physics in the future."

This claim is supported by several top physicists.

Edward Witten, who has a research collaboration with Zhao Yi, also stood up, "I am working with Zhao Yi on the boundary problem of the multi-dimensional space of string theory, but my research has not yielded any results. I did not expect that he would have achieved results first. "

"I doubt whether I am a physicist or he is a physicist. By the way, he was originally responsible for mathematics."

"Now I am sure that he can do well in math content."

"The boundary theory of particles and string theory do not conflict. They can be said to be two theories that go hand in hand and may even be complementary."

"It helped refine the linear computational problems of string theory."

"My colleagues and I share the same view that the boundary theory of particles has the potential to become a subdiscipline of theoretical physics."

"Maybe it will be like string theory. In the next few years and decades, more physicists will invest in this research."

Edward Witten's statement can be related to the development of string theory. The beginning of all physical theories is derived from mathematical calculations.

The prototype of string theory was discovered by Veniceano in 1968.

He was originally looking for a mathematical formula that could describe the strong force in the nucleus, and then found the 200-year-old Euler's formula in an old mathematics book. This formula could successfully describe the strong force he wanted to solve. force.

However, the further understanding of this formula as a small elastic "line segment" that can be twisted and shaken like a rubber band was discovered not long ago by Leonard Su Shikan, who later developed "string theory".

The current "Boundary Theory of Particles" is similar. The mathematical framework and formulas are the basis for supporting the theory. The particle boundary energy explained in it and the analysis of various particle boundaries are secondary content.

By doing research based on mathematical frameworks, many similar extensions can be made.

Therefore, both George Smoot and Edward Witten believe that "Boundary Theory of Particles" has the potential to develop into a branch of theoretical physics. In the future, it may even keep pace with string theory, and a large number of physicists will invest in research.

Two Nobel Prize winners came forward to express support for the boundary theory of particles, and their influence was also huge.

The domestic academic circle reacted violently, and many academic media came forward to analyze and popularize the particle boundary theory.

The reaction of domestic public opinion is not because of the theory itself, but because of the meaning of the theory--

So far, various theories in physics have been proposed by foreign scientists, and there are also many domestic physicists who pursue foreign theories for research.

Now there is finally a physics theory, which was proposed by domestic scholars and has the support and recognition of two Nobel Prize winners. The meaning is naturally very different.

Academic issues suddenly rose to the level of honor and politics.
