Great Country Academician

With the end of the first half of the report meeting, relevant news quickly spread in the physics community.

During the lunch break, many younger scholars who participated in the report uploaded their own videos and pictures to different websites.

On the internationally renowned physics forum PhysicsForums, videos and pictures related to the first half of the report, especially the section where Professor David Gross asked questions, were marked as hot spots by many physicists and caused a lot of discussions. .

[I heard that Professor Xu’s paper had flaws found! 】

[Really or not, he actually makes mistakes sometimes? ? 】

[He has so many papers, which one are you talking about? 】

[What other article in physics is there? Just the one I gave a lecture on today, a unified framework for strongly correlated electron systems. I heard that Professor David Gross found the problem. 】

[The information above is out of date. The flaws are real, but not entirely true! Professor Gross did find the flaws in the paper, but Professor Xu later solved them directly on the spot! 】

【Watefa? On-site solution? So fierce? 】

[Yes, and that flaw still involves the unified theory of strong electricity. 】

[Unification of strong electricity? 】

[Part of it, and I don’t know if it is correct yet, but Professor Xu said that he will hold a three-day seminar to verify it. 】

PhysicsForums is one of the more famous papers in the physics world. Many physicists at home and abroad have registered accounts on it to speak and discuss. In addition, some official organizations will also set up accounts on it to publish some news to expand their influence.

Therefore, the discussion on this forum can basically reflect the popularity of an issue in the physics community.

To be honest, at the beginning, the discussion of the unified framework theory of strongly correlated electronic systems was not very high on the forum.

Although it is extremely difficult and has sufficient status in physics, the paper is not very friendly to ordinary scholars. Most scholars who discuss it on the forum find it difficult to understand.

Related discussions on the forum were limited to some melon-eating aspects, but when it came to the unified theory of strong electricity, the popularity began to soar.

After all, it involves the unified theory of strong electricity, and anyone who can talk about it in this forum can basically talk about it.

On the other side, there are hot discussions not only in professional academic forums, but also on some social networking sites.

Even though most people may have never heard of what a strongly correlated electron system is, most people have heard of the unification of strong electricity, or the unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity, which is an epic problem in mathematics. of.

After all, it is so famous.

Of course, compared with professional forums where exchanges and discussions are more rational and focus on the problem itself, the reactions of public netizens are basically not focused on the problem itself.

[Did you hear that? Did Professor Xu unify the theory of strong electricity? 】

【What the hell? Him again? 】

[If I remember correctly, he has already solved two Millennium Problems. 】

[This is too scary. If this continues, will all the mathematical and physics problems in the world be solved by him? 】

[Am I crazy, is he crazy, or is the whole world crazy? 】

[I watched that video, but I couldn’t understand it. I just want to ask, is this awesome? 】

[Nonsense, you don’t understand it anymore, how can you not be awesome? 】

[I think if he can explain this theory in such a way that I can understand it, that would be truly powerful. 】

On the Internet, the relevant heat is constantly fermenting.

In reality, the report meeting on the unified framework theory of strongly correlated electrons was also completed stably and orderly under the organization of NTU.

Compared with the first half, the physicists present in the second half were obviously more interested in the "Typical Behavior Theory of Small Polarons in Strong Electrophonon Interaction Systems" completed by Xu Chuan at the report meeting.

The questions in the afternoon are basically related to this theory.

This is normal, on the one hand it is a brand new theory.

On the other hand, the strong electric-phonon interaction system involves some areas of strong electric unification.

For the physics community, the unified theory of strong electricity is one of the ultimate dreams pursued by all physicists in this century.

Although there is gravity behind it, for today's physics, it can be said that there is basically no hope for unified gravity in this century.

So the next best thing is to mathematically unify the strong and weak electric forces, which is the dream of all physicists in the 21st century.

Now that this dream has seen a glimmer of hope, how can we not be excited?

Although the strong electron-phonon interaction system is only a small part of the field of strong electric unification, it has opened a gap towards the goal.

Continuing to explore along this route is undoubtedly more promising than the previous random drilling without direction.

After the report meeting, Xu Chuan used the venue of NTU to continue a targeted discussion and exchange meeting on the 'Typical Behavior Theory of Small Polarons' and 'Unification of the Three Forces of Strong and Weak Electricity'.

Although many scholars left midway due to various matters, at least half of the physicists who came to attend the lecture still stayed.

Some stayed for a day, others for three days.

In addition to these physicists who came from afar, there were also many domestic scholars who had not come to attend this lecture, but also took high-speed rail flights to come here.

The theory of typical behavior of small polarons in a strong electron-phonon interaction system has opened up a path for the unification of the three forces of strong electricity and weak electricity. This is enough for all physicists to look forward to and make a trip.

During these three days, in addition to discussing the typical behavioral theory of small polarons, Xu Chuan also heard many physicists' questions and ideas about the unified theory of strong electricity.

He did not hide his research on this aspect, and he devoted himself to communicating with the scholars who came to discuss it with him.

The unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity is not only the dream of these physicists, but also his dream.

It's just that this road is not that easy to walk.

After all, if it were easy, many physicists in today's physics community would not be wandering around like headless flies.

There are various conjectures and theories, but a way to break through has never been found.

There is no way. Before the three forces of strong and weak electricity can be unified, there is still a "basic" threshold that needs to be solved in the physics world, and that is the problem of "Yang-Mills existence and mass gap".

This millennium problem in mathematics stands in the way of the unification of the three forces, like a lion guarding a treasure. If this problem is not solved, it can be said that the threshold of the unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity cannot be reached.

For Xu Chuan, even if he has the advantage to solve this top century problem, he may not be able to solve it by himself.

The collision of different thinking sparks can give birth to more inspirations and ideas.

Three days is not a long time, and it passed quickly in the exchange.

With the departure of many members of the physics community, NTU's campus has returned to its former peace.

Although it was still lively with students coming and going, it was still a lot cooler than the past few days when top physicists could be seen almost randomly on campus.

After staying up for two days and nights, Xu Chuan sorted out the paper 'Typical Behavior Theory of Small Polarons in Strong Electrophonon Interaction Systems' and put it together with the paper 'Unified Framework Theory of Strongly Correlated Electronic Systems' Submitted to "Physical Review Letters", one of the four major journals in the physics community.

This is the top journal in physics, with an impact factor second only to Physics Reports.

The latter has a high impact factor because it is a review. This journal publishes research overviews of important issues in physics.

This journal generally does not accept submissions under normal circumstances. The articles published are usually invited by the journal to well-known physicists to comprehensively summarize, explain and summarize research in a certain field.

That’s why its influence is great.

As for "Physical Review Letters", it is the No. 1 journal among regular submissions. If the status is compared, it is probably similar to the "Annals of Mathematics" in the field of mathematics.

After submitting the two papers, Xu Chuan stopped caring about this matter.

But even though he didn't care, the wave in the physics world had just begun.

On arxiv, one paper after another began to explode crazily.

What I have to say is that today's theoretical physics world is really a place where you can have fun.

The last time Xu Chuan found traces of the existence of sterile neutrinos and followed the clues to explore the dark matter and dark energy behind it, the same was true on arxiv, with various related papers flooding the screen one after another.

It's the same this time. The traces of the strong interaction and the unification of the strong and weak electric forces have once again caused a climax in the world of theoretical physics.

Those ordinary physicists are all taking the time to write papers, and then post them on arxiv to take advantage of them.

There was no way, the big guys at the top took up almost all the available space. For ordinary theoretical physicists, it is so difficult to write a paper that is logically complete and can withstand preliminary scrutiny. It is almost tear-jerking.

It can only be said that if nothing new comes out of the world of theoretical physics, there will be almost no room for undergraduates and graduate students to write their graduation thesis.

PS: I worked overtime until one o'clock in the morning yesterday, so I didn't have time to update. Sorry, dear readers, I will update it tonight.
