Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 255 Harvest Night

On March 16, Qin Yuanqing did not go to work in the morning and did not go to school until the afternoon.

He will participate in an interview in the afternoon. Just like last year, Qin Yuanqing only recruits graduate students and doctoral students in mathematics and one graduate student and doctoral student in nuclear physics!

As for the mechanical and engineering application categories, Qin Yuanqing did not recruit any more and left them to the professors and researchers of the institute.

Those who can reach Qin Yuanqing's interview will have full marks in the written test, but even so, there are more than 700 people, not only domestic ones, but also overseas ones.

Now that Qin Yuanqing has proved Goldbach's conjecture, his status has reached an incredible level. Even though the mathematics department of Shuimu University is far behind Princeton University, there are still many people who want to apply for Qin Yuanqing's graduate and doctoral students.

The school is one thing, and the tutor is another!

In the whole world, there is no one more famous and more powerful than Qin Yuanqing!

It's no joke that Qin Yuanqing's PhD students were robbed by various parties before they graduated.

After the interviews, a total of four graduate students and three doctoral students were recruited. Among the four graduate students, there were two blond girls, one from Ukraine and one from Sweden. The remaining two were from Shuimu University and the other from Yanda University. Graduated from the Department of Mathematics.

As for the three doctoral students, one is from Russia, one is from the Department of Mathematics of Fudan University, and one went to Princeton to study abroad after graduating from the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University to study for a Ph.D.

Although the interview has been completed, enrollment will not begin until September 1. Qin Yuanqing received countless invitations during this period. Some scientific research units invited him to visit and provide opinions by the way, and some universities invited him to open a Lectures. . . . . . But Qin, Yuan and Qing declined.

Now that we have just found the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation, we have a vague idea of ​​the proof of the mass gap. We cannot conquer the last mountain while the iron is hot and put the last brick on the edifice of Yang-Mills theory. It will be capped, and we will wait for when.

In research like this, sometimes it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot and go all out in one go. Otherwise, if you procrastinate, this cold situation will easily freeze all your thoughts and inspirations, and you may never be able to find a sense of direction again in your life.

Therefore, Qin Yuanqing's attention is still on Yang Mills' theory. He refers to the methods used by Weinberg and others when studying the unified theory of weak electricity. He can try to introduce a scalar field on the space-time manifold to this problem. , under the action of the gauge group U(2)*U(1), the change is represented by the two components of this group, thereby solving the zero-mass problem of the strongly interacting Yang-Mills field, and expressing the strong interaction in a unified way action and electromagnetic action.

Weinberg was born in 1933 and graduated from Cornell University in 1954 at the age of 19. In 1979, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Glashow and Salam for the unified theory of weak electricity. His "General Theory of Relativity and Gravity" Books such as "The First Three Minutes" and "The Dream of the Ultimate Theory" have become popular around the world.

There are four fundamental forces in nature: gravity, electromagnetism, strong force and weak force. For many years, there has been a very successful theory about the electromagnetic force. It is believed that the interaction between charged particles is due to the exchange of photons. However, according to this explanation, the weak force cannot be correctly understood, because if this were the case, the weak force would be transmitted. The particles of force should have a large mass, unlike photons, which have zero rest mass. In addition, calculations based on this theory always contain incomprehensible infinities. Therefore, between 1967 and 1968, Weinberg and Salam independently proposed a quantum field theory that unified electromagnetic and weak interactions, thus solving these problems.

But their theory has an unsatisfactory limitation: it only applies to one class of elementary particles.

Later, they proposed the electroweak unified theory language: Due to the effect of the weak force, when electrons violently impact the nucleus and then bounce back, there will be a significant difference in the number of detected left-handed electrons and right-handed electrons. And this is the famous ‘parity destruction’!

‘Parity violation’ was indeed discovered later at the Linac Experiment Center at Stanford University.

According to the electroweak unified theory, in addition to the weak interaction of charge flow, there should also be the weak interaction of neutral flow, that is, there should be no charge exchange between the incident particles and the outgoing particles during the reaction process, and there should also be the existence of neutral flow. Weak interaction means that there is no charge exchange between the incident particle and the outgoing particle during the reaction. For example, p + e+ → p + e+. This was also discovered in experiments by Fermi National Laboratory and the Western European Center for Nuclear Research in the United States, which predicted the neutral flow.

The electroweak unified theory has been formalized by many experiments, and it partially unifies the four existing basic interactions.

Of course, there is still an extremely dazzling way to go before the unification of weak electricity and the unification of physics.

Qin Yuanqing never believed in the so-called truths, theorems, and axioms, because it always believed that these were the most reasonable explanations put forward by people based on current observations. It did not mean that they were completely correct or unchanged.

This is just like Newton's classical mechanics, Einstein's theory of relativity, and now quantum physics, which is the frontier of physics. They are constantly developing, and more and more reasonable explanations are proposed based on more and more discoveries.

Including the unified theory of weak electricity, Qin Yuanqing also thinks so. He agrees that the unified theory of weak electricity is completely correct, but this does not prevent him from referring to the wisdom in it.

Qin Yuanqing was immersed in it and moved forward step by step. His life was always irregular. Sometimes when an idea came to him, even staying up all night was normal. And sometimes when I have no thoughts, I get off work early and play with my precious daughter.

Unknowingly, time passed slowly, and it came to May 16th in the blink of an eye. Tomorrow was the first birthday of his precious daughter and brat. He originally planned to go back earlier today, but the inspiration came and he couldn't stop it no matter what. .

"That's it... Why didn't I think that it was like this!" Qin Yuanqing's face was full of excitement, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and he wrote a few lines on the draft paper with his pen Calculation formula.

Finally, he solved the existence and proof of quality defects!

In other words, he solved the mass gap problem of strong interaction!

In other words, at this moment, he had completely completed the proof of the Millennium Puzzle of the Yang-Mills equation, and after completing the proof, he fell into a very magical state, thinking very quickly, as if he was the god of mathematics. , he peeked into a corner of the mysterious world of mathematics, which brought his understanding of mathematics to a whole new level.

This state was very miraculous, something he had never experienced before. Vaguely, he seemed to see God, God, and Buddha~~~ It was very wonderful. Many things that he could not understand before could now be understood. Understood.

But after seeing God, seeing God, and seeing Buddha, I still have more unclear understanding of the world, and I have more doubts in my heart.

"Now that the mass gap problem of the Yang-Mills equation has been explained mathematically, let's solve the unified theory of strong electricity by the way!" After Qin Yuanqing withdrew from that wonderful state, he turned to the unified theory of strong electricity.

Having explained the mass gap problem of the Yang-Mills equation from a mathematical perspective, it is only a matter of time before we can develop a unified theory of strong electricity.

After all, the most difficult thing about the unified theory of strong electricity is that it cannot directly apply the "symmetry breaking" method like the unified theory of weak electricity.

However, now that the mass gap problem has been solved, the final bottleneck leading to strong electric interaction no longer exists!

The birth of the unified theory of strong electricity, which has been hailed as an epoch-making theory by countless physicists, is only a matter of time at this moment!

In the world of physics, grand unified theory is the Holy Grail of theoretical physics, and the unification of strong interaction and electromagnetic interaction is the second step toward a grand unified theory.

It can be said that once the proof of mass intermittence is solved and the unified theory of strong electricity is solved, Qin Yuanqing's name is destined to be recorded in history together with this theory, not only as a monument in the history of physics, but also as a monument to the human mind. monument.

It can also be said that no one among contemporary physicists is closer to God than Qin Yuanqing!

From then on, he no longer needed to look up to Newton or Einstein, but looked at him levelly!

Even if Newton is reborn, standing in front of him, Qin Yuanqing can confidently look him levelly and ask him whether he is better than him in mathematics or physics? Otherwise, let’s have a showdown! ?

After completing the mass intermittent proof, Qin Yuanqing was writing the unified theory of strong electricity at this moment, feeling as smooth as ever before, as if everything fell into place.

On the keyboard of the computer, Qin Yuanqing's fingers were crackling like playing a piano, playing a beautiful symphony. In this silent office, the only sounds were Qin Yuanqing's full concentration and the sound of the keyboard.

When Qin Yuanqing completed his thesis on the unification of strong electricity, he saw that the clock on the wall was only half past seven, and it was not even time to go to work.

Qin Yuanqing simply completed the paper on the proof of the mass gap. After all, most of his previous papers had been edited, and the rest was only the remaining part of the paper in the past two or three days!

When Qin Yuanqing completed all the papers, he converted them to PDF. After saving them, he copied the papers to his USB flash drive. His USB flash drive was specially made and was extremely safe after being checked over and over again.

At this time, the clock hand pointed to 9:30. Qin Yuanqing stretched his waist and logged into his WeChat Weibo account. After a year, he finally updated his Weibo account. His previous Weibo account was exactly It was updated when my own child was born, sharing my joy!

"On May 17, 2014, the Yang Mills theory was finalized! The unified theory of strong electricity is here! Today is also the birthday of my two children. I will love you forever. You are a gift from God to me!" The Weibo post is accompanied by current photos of the two children.

Fulfill the promise and add more updates for the leader "Haha I'm here"
