Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 431 The golden age of physics begins (sixth update)

At this moment, the scholars in the lecture hall finally understood why Qin Yuanqing said that this was a historic breakthrough in string theory and deliberately held an academic lecture before publishing the paper.

The value of this conch physical model far exceeds the problem of solving the problem that has troubled string theory for more than half a century. The Kabila-Yiu space with an absolute value of Euler's number of 6 is the best choice, because this is a model that may be comparable to particle physics. The unified model of physics is very likely to play an extremely important role on the road to the unification of physics.

They also understood why Qin Yuanqing called it the prelude to the unification of physics. From now on, the world of physics will use this as a dividing line, one is the era before the unification of physics, and the other is the era when the unification of physics begins.

Today is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, and this academic seminar is also destined to be recorded in the annals of history. Its significance cannot be overestimated.

Thousands of scholars in the lecture hall all stood up in unison. Whether they understood or did not understand, whether they thought the conch physical model was right or wrong, they all unanimously gave Qin Yuanqing warm applause.

This was the second climax of the three-hour academic lecture, and this time the warm applause was greater than before. He explained why the Kabila-Yiu space with an absolute value of Euler number 6 is the best. The selection is much more intense and lasts much longer.

Qin Yuanqing showed a confident smile. The conch physical model he proposed was intended to lay the foundation for the unification of physics. As long as other physicists conduct research along this conch physical model, he has no doubt that the physics community will welcome it again. Come to the golden age!

Modern physics has been silent for too long!

So much so that even Mr. Yang believes that the exciting era of particle physics discoveries has passed! This era of great discovery in particle physics refers to the 1950s to the 1980s. This era began with Tomonaga, Schwinger, and Feynman proposing quantum electrodynamics and ended with the establishment of the Standard Model. It can be said that the Higgs particle Discovery officially brought an end to this era.

In fact, the last golden age of physics refers to the era of great discoveries in particle physics, that is, from the 1950s to the 1980s, that is to say, from the 1980s to the first decade of the 21st century, a period of 30 years , it belongs to the peaceful era of physics. In fact, there were no outstanding physical results during this period.

It was not until Qin Yuanqing solved the Yang-Mills theory and proposed the unified theory of strong electricity that it was considered another major achievement in the world of physics. The weight of this achievement is much more important than the discovery of the Higgs particle. It is precisely this amount that No. The Bell Prize Award Committee did not hesitate to award the Nobel Prize in Physics to Qin Yuanqing and Yang Lao because if they did not award it, the authority and gold content of the Nobel Prize would be greatly reduced.

At that time, it was not Qin Yuanqing who was honored because he won the Nobel Prize, but the Nobel Prize who was honored because Qin Yuanqing won the prize!

Clearly aware of this, the awards committee broke through the heavy pressure and resolutely chose to hand over the Nobel Prize in Physics to Qin Yuanqing.

At this time, the conch physical model was proposed. In fact, it was more like a mathematical conjecture, but its importance and significance are difficult to describe in words. It officially opened the prelude to the unification of physics. No matter how you evaluate it, it will not be enough. Pass.

Qin Yuanqing pressed his hands and began to slowly stop the applause in the lecture hall. When the lecture hall became quiet, Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "Dear guests and fellow reporters, our report meeting has been going on for more than 3 hours at this time. Now the time has passed 12 o'clock, and I have finished my academic report. It's lunch time, and then it's time to eat. The cafeteria has prepared delicious meals waiting for you to enjoy. At the same time, volunteers have prepared special journals at the door. , you can receive a special journal, and I hope you will have a pleasant time at Shuimu University in the next week."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yuanqing bowed to everyone before leaving the stage. When he got backstage, the backstage staff couldn't help but excitedly applauded when they saw Qin Yuanqing.

Although this kind of world-class academic seminar does not have the excitement and atmosphere of a big star concert, it is the sharing of wisdom and knowledge, and it touches the depths of people's hearts and souls. Look at those famous scholars. Everyone, whether they are Nobel Prize winners, Fields Medal winners, or even completely amateur news media reporters, can't help but applaud, knowing how successful this report will be.

As Shuimu people, everyone is proud of Qin Yuanqing.

Since Qin Yuanqing joined Shuimu, he has brought too many honors to Shuimu through academic achievements and academic seminars. This is why Shuimu people are always full of confidence, even if they went to Harvard or MIT. They can study abroad and be exchange students in world-famous universities, and they can hold their heads high and not feel resentful at all.

"Everyone has worked hard. It's time to eat next. Let's go eat!" Qin Yuanqing smiled and said.

Qin Yuanqing did not choose to go to the cafeteria to eat. In today's situation, if he went to the cafeteria, he would definitely not have time to have a good meal. Looking at the excited scholars and the reporters who wanted to block the door, Qin Yuanqing wisely went home to eat.

Qin Yuanqing left the stage, and the scholars began to leave the lecture hall in an orderly manner. When they were in one place, they received freshly baked special journals from the hands of volunteers. The special journals still exuded the fragrance of ink.

The cover of this special issue is unique. The person on the cover is Qin Yuanqing, holding a strange three-dimensional figure in his left hand, which represents the Kabila-Qiu Chengtong space. He holds a large conch in his right hand, which is the physical model of the conch, with symbols and formulas written on it.

All the scholars were very excited to receive this special issue.

As this academic seminar is specially provided, these scholars do not need to pay for it. Although the price of one issue of the journal is as high as hundreds of yuan, after all, this academic seminar is held in Shuimu, and the Shuimu Publishing Center is naturally more atmospheric. Each scholar is given a free special journal.

After these scholars got the journals, they walked and looked at them one by one, which made the students who were volunteers speechless, but it also allowed them to see what attitude they need to have towards knowledge in order to become scholars. This will be their future. A precious treasure in life.

As people become more and more familiar with the news and situations in European and American countries, they no longer have such superstitious beliefs. If any public intellectual dares to advocate that China should also have happy education, he will definitely be sprayed to death. If any professor dares to say that housing prices are too low and is not conducive for young people to study during a lecture, he will be kicked off the stage by the students.

In colleges and universities, lectures are becoming more and more cautious. There will no longer be cats and dogs dressed up in beautiful clothes and appearing on the stage to preach some weird remarks in colleges and universities.

"Hey, Witten, I think your choice is right. I didn't expect you to achieve such outstanding results. I was shocked!" Leonard Su Shikanzheng and Witten said with emotion.

Leonard Su Shikan, who is 78 years old, was originally not suitable to come all the way to China, because people are old and their bodies are aging. If something happens during such a long journey, it is possible to go directly to see God. . However, as one of the founders of string theory, he was really curious and wanted to know what breakthroughs Qin Yuanqing had made in the field of string theory that could be said to be historic breakthroughs, so he resolutely chose to come to China regardless of the objections of others. .

Facts have proved that he came to the right place. He saw Qin Yuanqing confidently explaining that the Kabila-Yiu space with an absolute value of Euler number 6 is the best choice, although he could not understand each of the calculations. , but this is the first time in half a century that the world's top mathematicians can announce in public that they have solved this problem.

This alone makes it worth his while!

Not to mention, the conch physical model proposed by Qin Yuanqing at the end is simply a miracle!

"Actually, I'm ashamed that you said that! These are all the contributions of Professor Qin. His talent in physics is really amazing. When I joined the Mizuki Institute of Advanced Studies, he played a leading role in string theory. If he hadn't been too busy, I think he would have made outstanding achievements in physics and led the development of physics." Witten sighed.

It has been 28 years since he proposed M theory in 1990, which triggered the second revolution in string theory. It is incredible that there has not been an outstanding string theory result in these 28 years.

"Professor Qin's talent is amazing. If he focused more on physics, I think he would be comparable to Newton and Einstein!" Leonard Su Shikan nodded slowly.

"Isn't he now?" Witten asked.

Leonard Su Shikan was startled for a moment, and then he burst into laughter!

"Let's go, don't read the paper first. I'll take you to the canteen. Let me tell you, China is really a paradise for food. Shuimu's canteen, the food there is very delicious." Witten said with a smile, taking Leonard with him Su Shikan and several friends went to the cafeteria.

Along the way, scholars could be seen everywhere holding journal articles and looking at them as they walked.

Witten lamented how long it had been since physicists were not as eager to acquire knowledge as they are now.

"I think the world of physics will usher in another golden age again!" Witten suddenly said.

"It's so memorable. It's a pity that this golden age belongs to you. I'm already old and waiting for God's call at any time!" Leonard Su Shikan smiled self-deprecatingly. He is already 78 years old. Although I am a little reluctant to get old, the power of time is not something that people can resist.

Witten showed a complex expression. Leonard Su Shikan was getting old. He was also getting old. Speaking of which, he was already 67 years old and had passed his prime. Every day he could feel that his mind was spinning. The pace is slowing down, and his steps are also getting heavier. If it weren't for his unwillingness, Witten might actually be more willing to return to rural life.
