Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The discovery of five quark-state particles is an exciting news for the entire theoretical physics community. .

However, for Frank Wilzek, his recent mood is not very beautiful.

Of course, his good mood was not ruined by the hadron collider, but because of a gamble six years ago.

Six years ago, at the physics conference in Azores, he made a bet with a gentleman named Garrett.

Mr. Rees, who didn't know where to get the invitation, stood up and confused when he talked about the standard model, insisting that supersymmetric particles simply did not exist, because you couldn't find supersymmetric particles at all, and Mr. Frank naturally insisted on maintaining the theory. Physics, and predict that the Hadron Collider (lh) will detect supersymmetric particles within 6 years!

Then they made a bet on the face of everyone.

The arbitrator of the gambling was the professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Max Stegomak, the host of the meeting.

The bet is $1,000.

Today, 6 years have passed, lh after more than two years of rest, finally after the restart of the experiment on June 3, the energy was successfully upgraded to 13tev. But even if five quark-state particles were found, no signs of super-symmetric particles were found.

Although the standard model was correctly tested again, there was no use for it, and he lost the game.

As for the reason, he overestimated the ability of ern and was too optimistic about the performance of the upgrade after lh.

In fact, in the physics world, betting is not a rare thing.

For Frank Vizek, who is a good gamb, this is not his first bet.

In 2005, he bet with MIT's "beauty scientist" Jenny Conrad, believing that lh will detect Higgs particles, while the latter believes that lh can't find it.

The bet at the time was the gold coin chocolate served at the Nobel Prize awards ceremony. The final result was obvious. Frank won the gambling and got 10 gold coins.

It just didn't seem so lucky this time, he unfortunately lost the gambling.

In fact, there is nothing to lose or lose. For these scholars, the bet is at most a measure of work.

But the problem is coming, the one who bet with him, Mr. Garrett, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

First of all, this Mr. Rees is not a physicist at all, but a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of California, Los Angeles. He is now a bridge builder.

Secondly, the philosophy department's biggest "achievement" is to use the Lie group e8 structure that was recently analyzed by mathematicians to construct the legendary Great One Theorem and predict more than 20 particles...

Einstein's unfinished great work has always been the treasure of theoretical physicists. However, this treasure is obviously not just a theoretical physicist, but also countless folks who do not understand physics at all.

Mr. Garrett is probably the most literate person in the folk sciences, at least than the North Americans who stubbornly believe that the earth is square, and the idiots who made the rockets to send themselves to the stratosphere are so high that they don’t know where to go. It is.

It is precisely because of this that he was labeled as "the king of civil science" by many people...

Although his mathematical theory of philosophical thoughts, both mathematicians and physicists, sneered at it, there are quite a few markets in some places, and even a book.

It is for this reason that for Welzek, losing this gamble is very embarrassing.

A Nobel Prize winner in physics lost to the "King of the Civil Society."

Although he admitted frankly on his personal tweet that he had lost and fulfilled the $1,000 gentleman's agreement, it was clear that he was not as calm as he was on the social platform.

This is not a $1,000 thing, but the guy named Rees is quite unproductive, and he is showing it online all day long.

Recently, many people have ridiculed him with this incident when he meets. He can't help but slap his own self. How did he get a slap in the face and bet with this spicy chicken?

It is too shameful!

Sitting in the office where ern prepared for him, Mr. Frank was drinking coffee while browsing the latest paper on the arxiv website about the five quark state particles.

Just then, his assistant knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Frank, someone asked me to bring you something."

"What?" Mr. Frank replied casually.

“Looks like a paper,” the assistant replied.

Although he was not in a good mood recently, he still spoke.

"Bring me up."

"Good sir."

From the assistant's hand, he took the paper printed on the paper. Frank took it over and overturned it casually and asked casually: "There is no name on it? Who brought it."

Assistant: "According to the person's self-introduction, he is an intern."

"Intern?" Frank frowned slightly, but did not throw the paper aside because of this identity, but continued to look at the expression.

Being able to practice in this place in ern, the ability is definitely there... at least not in the civil sciences. In fact, what many people lack is not learning. It is just an opportunity. If the paper is interesting, he does not mind pointing out the intern.

And that's why he is very popular here.

Originally, I just looked at it casually, but continued to follow the paper. Frank, who was originally expressionless, gradually showed a little interest in his face.

When he saw a word in the paper, his expression suddenly changed, and the look of interest gradually became serious.

Putting down the paper in his hand, Frank looked at his assistant.

"What is the contact information for this person?"

The assistant squatted a little and immediately said: "He didn't leave a phone number, but left an address, just in the hotel near the ern building. If you want to see him, I can find him for you."

"Go help me find him. This paper has some meaning." Frank dropped the paper in the upper left corner of the table.

Generally speaking, the papers placed here are a bit interesting to him, at least the value that makes him pay time.

As for the pile on the right, the final destination is mostly the office shredder...

......

After handing the paper to Mr. Frank's assistant, Lu Zhou originally thought that it would take a few days to get results. I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

On the morning of the next day, Mr. Frank Welke’s assistant came to the hotel to find him and took him to the office of the building.

The first sentence after the old gentleman saw him was.

"What do you think might be?"

Lu Zhou said without hesitation: "Super symmetric particles!"

In fact, this possibility is very small, even if he does not believe that the thing may be supersymmetric particles, but he must say so.

This is a gimmick, just like pulling an investment.

However, Mr. Frank was obviously not so flickering, laughed and shook his head.

"This is not realistic."

"But there is such a possibility, maybe it is something else, but whatever it is, there is value worth studying. Isn't it?" Lu Zhou continued. "Do you want to bet? I am paying a hundred dollars, bet there. There is something."

Hearing the bet, the old man’s eyebrows twitched and coughed and said: “No need to bet.”

Lu Zhou stunned slightly.

He knew in advance that the old man’s favorite thing to do was to bet with others. How did he suddenly turn to temper?

After a pause, Frank continued.

"I have a little interest in your discovery, but it's just a bit of it. And regardless of whether I am interested, ern can't start lh for an unimproved theory, and you haven't succeeded in convincing me."

"However, I can give you a chance. You can improve your theory before the end of the month. Then at the European Nuclear Research Conference at the end of the month, I will recommend you to take the stage to make a report to the physics of the conference. The family reports your findings. If you can convince me with your theory at the time, I can consider helping you convince others."

When he said this, Frank had been staring at Lu Zhou’s eyes.

Lu Zhou knows what the old man is waiting for.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou responded with the expectation of the old man with a certain look.

And his answer is only one word.

"it is good!"
