Chapter 277 Arriving in Switzerland

"Doesn't that mean developing string theory is useless?"

Lin Chao, a student of Qin Yuanqing, couldn't help but become frustrated because he was engaged in theoretical physics and had been studying string theory for the past six months. He was deeply shocked by the perfection of string theory. In his opinion, this string theory is simply the largest in the universe.

truth.

"Of course not." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "String theory is like a castle in the air, but it does not mean that the castle in the sky is useless!"

"Just like the establishment of the Standard Model, many theories are also based on conjectures. With the advancement of technology, these theories will one day be tested. As for string theory, it may just need to wait longer." Qin Yuanqing said.

"What's more, human beings should not only live in the present, but also have poetry and distance. Aren't the studies on quantum chromodynamics and even the Large Hadron Collider in Europe all built to test the Standard Model? Even this

One day we may not be able to see it, but one day, someone will see that string for us." Qin Yuanqing has no special feelings for string theory, but theoretical physics is like this, always ahead of the times, far ahead of the times.

technology, and then continue to be verified with the development of technology of the times.

Therefore, many famous physicists actually have a rather tragic life. They proposed great theories, but because they were not confirmed, they did not win the Nobel Prize in Physics until their death. People like Yang and Li just proposed the parity non-conservation theory and then

A few months later, I won the Nobel Prize in Physics. This is rare, it is a result of extreme luck, and it can only be obtained by ancestors who have accumulated good deeds for ten lifetimes.

Just like Peter Higgs, last year's Nobel Prize winner in Physics, he was also extremely lucky and lived long enough to finally wait for the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1964, Higgs published an academic theoretical article

, proposed the existence of a particle field and the existence of a boson that can attract other particles and thereby produce mass. He believed that this boson is the source of mass of matter and the basis for the formation of mass such as electrons and quarks.

, other particles swim in the field formed by this particle and generate inertia, thereby forming mass and constructing the world.

Lederman, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, even called it the 'God particle'. However, for nearly half a century, the boson with zero spin predicted by the standard model of particle physics has not been predicted by other standard models.

Other particles were constantly discovered, and the result was that it was always undiscovered. Until 2012, a special lecture was held in the main lecture hall of CERN. At this lecture, the European Large Hadron

Two experiments running on the LHC collider announced their latest results: they discovered the Higgs particle at the same time. This announced that the Higgs particle had been officially found.

In 2013, Higgs also won the Nobel Prize in Physics!

However, Robert Blount, who also proposed the Higgs mechanism and the Higgs boson theory, did not have such luck. Like Higgs and Engler, he could live until the Higgs particle was discovered and won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Academic Award.

And this is a normal phenomenon in the world of theoretical physics!

After chatting for several hours, everyone was tired. They closed their eyes and started to rest. They didn't wake up until the announcement reminded that the plane was about to land.

Their flight took off directly from Beijing to Zurich.

When they looked down from a high altitude, they saw the whole of Zurich. They were all filled with emotion. They all knew that Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and the richest city in Europe. Billionaires from all over the world gather here.

That’s why Zurich is also known as the “European Billionaire City”.

Zurich has always been known as one of the cities with the highest living standards, the richest life, the most expensive prices, and the safest society. It is also rated as one of the most livable cities in the world recognized by the world.

If it weren't for the black swan incident and Switzerland was rubbed to the ground by France, Germany, and Italy, then this place would be synonymous with paradise in the world.

After leaving the airport, a representative of China in Cern had already sent someone to pick him up. Although China is not a formal member of Cern and there are not many Chinese people among Cern's official employees, it does not mean that there are no people from China here.

Normally, the mobility of Chinese people in Cern is very high, mainly in the name of duty or internship, which lasts from a few weeks to two or three months.

The three students who came with Qin Yuanqing this time, and two researchers from the Shuimu Institute of High Energy Physics, will be interned at Cern for three months because of Qin Yuanqing's reputation.

We stayed directly in a five-star hotel in Zurich. After all, the two research institutes of Qin Yuanqing were extremely wealthy at Shuimu University. They were not short of money at all, so naturally they would not stay in hotels or hostels.

Qin Yuanqing never treats himself poorly when traveling on business. If there was no need, Qin Yuanqing would buy a private jet.

After resting for a night, the group took two cars from Zurich to Geneva the next day. Geneva is the second largest city in Switzerland and is known internationally as the 'United Nations City', where major international organizations are located. They

We found a restaurant, had a quick lunch, and soon arrived at the headquarters of the European Organization for Nuclear Research on the border between Switzerland and France - Cern, which is said to be home to the smartest minds in the world.

The entrance to Cern is a bronze statue of Shiva. In Cern, Sange is an associate member and pays a large fee every year, so many Asan researchers work here, such as dirac, a supercomputer distribution program of Cern.

The ganga below was made by the third brother. This bronze statue of Shiva is a commemorative gift from the third brother to celebrate the cooperation with cern. The ring dance in the myth of the third brother is used to symbolize the ring of the accelerator, and at the same time it is a metaphor for the particles in the ring.

Annihilation and birth.

It is strange to say that among the official members of CRN, there are not three world powers, the United States, Russia and China.

Qin Yuanqing and others walked around the Cern headquarters to familiarize themselves with the environment. It has to be said that this is a place with a strong scientific research atmosphere. There are a large number of theoretical physicists gathered here. Maybe if you bump into any of them, you may be a famous person.

An honorary professor in a university or a great figure in theoretical physics.

Qin Yuanqing took a photo in front of Building 1 of the European Organization for Nuclear Research. This research center has been decommissioned and has been converted into a museum-like place. Visitors can buy tickets to visit. Inside this research center, there are also

This is a commemorative plaque from the birthplace of the Internet.

It is very sad to say that the first website, the first Internet server, and the first browser were born here. As a result, Europe did not develop the Internet. Instead, it became the United States and created the Internet empire, Microsoft, and Google.

When the Internet giants conquer cities and dominate the whole of Europe, even if the EU issues sky-high fines from time to time, they cannot resist the rule of the Internet giants. They still go their own way. Anyway, the wool will eventually appear on the sheep.

Many people admire the fact that the EU always issues sky-high fines to American companies and think this is a powerful anti-monopoly weapon. However, facts have proven that such measures are of no use at all. The fines are paid, but in the end it is the people of the EU who pay the bill.

.

Not to mention the Internet is compared with the United States, even compared with China, the European Internet is far behind. Any good idea is born here and develops half-dead in a few years, but it has developed prosperously in China.

It is hard to imagine that there are still many people using 2G mobile phones in this place, not many use 3G mobile phones, and only a small part use Apple phones.

Then what was very embarrassing was that when they were in a nearby restaurant in the evening, a large number of people were protesting, saying that Cern wasted a lot of money every year and would harm human health. They also said that Cern's experiments might produce black holes and destroy Switzerland.

, even the whole of Europe, the whole world, requires the closure of all Cern facilities.

People accompanying Qin Yuanqing and his party said that this is something Cern often sees. There are always some organizations coming to protest, and Cern has been fighting with them.

Speaking of which, the people in Europe and the United States are really a bunch of unruly people, and they engage in all kinds of anti-intellectual behavior, which has caused a lot of headaches for a bunch of politicians.

For example, Germany once used coal as its main energy source. 50% of Germany's energy needs came from coal. As a result, the Germans shouted loudest for environmental protection, so they had to vigorously use nuclear energy and built 17 nuclear power plants. As a result

In 2011, due to the Fukushima incident in Japan, a large number of Germans protested. As a result, politicians closed half of the nuclear power plants in the country in order to win votes, and promised to close all nuclear power plants in 2022.

For example, Europeans are extremely disgusted with high-voltage electricity towers, believing that they will produce radiation that affects people's health, so some people secretly set fire to high-voltage electricity towers, causing widespread power outages.

Therefore, many European politicians are very envious of the Chinese people. They are so easy to manage. Once an order is given, they must obey it. If they say large-scale demolition, large-scale demolition will be done without hesitation.

Qin Yuanqing looked at this beautiful scenery and found it quite interesting. He didn't know whether Europeans were aware of their own crisis. He didn't know whether the environmental protection girl was anti-intellectual or why she was loved by so many people.

Maybe at some point, Europe will suddenly decline, and everyone will have to eat dirt.

Development is the last word!

Qin Yuanqing has always recognized this sentence. Without development, everything will be in vain.

China's economic transformation and environmental protection are also based on development. Because everyone has experienced it, everyone knows that people must first solve the problem of food and clothing. Only after food and clothing are solved can we talk about other things.

But maybe Europeans are really too rich, and have been rich for so long, that they have forgotten what bitterness feels like!

Appreciating this beautiful scenery, Qin Yuanqing felt even more proud of his motherland, because China has always been on the right path.
