Chapter 231 Stress Testing? Papers and Reports, Paul Fehr:(1/3)
The Annihilation Theory is a false scam!
During prime time that evening, the most watched news channel in China gave a brief report on Wang Hao's research.
“Professor Wang Hao of Xihai University derived the anomaly in a specific energy range based on the Yang-Mills equation, and the CERN ATLAS experimental team confirmed his research.
Professor Wang Hao’s latest research may develop new physical theories and promote further human research and development of microphysics..."
A simple one-sentence report, placed in a prime-time news column, is already quite remarkable.
Wang Hao has appeared in several prime-time news reports, two of which were more than three minutes long, including research on Goldbach's conjecture and winning the international Fields Medal last year.
These two items are worthy of much coverage.
Goldbach's conjecture has a relatively large influence in China. It is introduced in primary school textbooks. Complete the proof of Goldbach's conjecture and it will definitely be publicized.
Wang Hao's winning of the Fields Medal requires even more publicity. He became the first domestic scholar to win the Fields Medal.
Current reports are still relatively conservative.
This is mainly because the research has not yet been made public, but has only been published on the Internet. It seems to be a "computational prediction" study, which was subsequently confirmed by experiments by the European Organization for Nuclear Organization.
Prime-time news reports must be cautious, and reports are mainly made because of the huge international influence.
CERN's new experiments are inherently influential.
They thought that the biggest result of their experiment was to find more Higgs boson signals, so that they could study the decay of the Higgs boson. However, they did not expect that a small discovery in the experiment would actually confirm
Research published by Wang Hao on the Internet.
This thing sounds very interesting, and thinking about it in depth makes people look forward to Wang Hao's research.
There has been no predictive research on the results of particle collision experiments before.
Even though the Higgs theory was known seventy years ago, no amount of theoretical research can predict which energy range the Higgs particle will appear in.
Wang Hao's research is different. He directly calculated the energy interval.
Many people judge that his research is correct based on this, and many people are waiting for his paper and research results report.
The country is also very concerned about this.
In terms of research in quantum physics, China is relatively backward, even more behind than other fields. More than 99% of the results in this field come from foreign scientists and experimental groups.
Domestic research has only begun in the past thirty years, mostly relying on the electron-positron collider, but it has only made progress in experiments, while theoretical research has not made any progress at all, and there is no even participation.
Now that Wang Hao relies on calculations to predict the results of particle collision experiments in advance, it means that he must have made a breakthrough in theoretical research. It can be said that he has surpassed all domestic theorists in the field of quantum physics.
This sounds sad, but it's true.
Many people in related fields have renewed their attention to particle physics-related research.
Domestic research in this area has been continuously discussed and a lot of controversy has arisen, because research related to particle physics requires a huge amount of investment in experiments.
The project to build a new particle collider has been going on and on, and has been discussed for more than ten years without a definite result.
This is a very large project with an investment of up to 100 billion.
For the domestic new particle collider project, the construction location has been determined, and a perfect demonstration has even been conducted for the project. As long as there is sufficient financial support, construction work can begin.
But because the investment in the project is so huge, opposition continues.
This is what large-scale scientific research projects are like.
Because the funding allocated by the state to the field of scientific research is limited every year, if a certain project receives a large amount of funding, funding in other fields will definitely be affected.
If a particle collider project takes away tens of billions of funds, many project applications in other fields will not be approved.
This is one of the reasons why there is a lot of opposition to the project.
In addition, some top scholars believe that because there are not enough domestic physicists to participate in the project, the construction of the particle collider will be equivalent to making a wedding dress for foreign countries.
This is also true.
The number of scholars engaged in quantum physics research in China is very small, and almost all of them are concentrated in a few professional research institutions. However, those engaged in theoretical physics research are even rarer, and they can be said to be only a handful.
Regardless of any physical theory, it is difficult to find young scholars engaged in professional research in China.
These are the reasons why there is a lot of opposition to the particle collider project.
Of course there are supporters.
For example, Academician Hu Yourong.
As a physics academician of the Academy of Sciences and one of the academicians of the Institute of High Energy, Hu Yourong is the main initiator and supporter of the Very Large Particle Collider project.
He has been calling for the construction of the world's largest particle collider, with the new particle collider as the center, to develop and study quantum physics, and to gradually catch up with international research.
Hu Yourong kept running around for this, and naturally he found Wang Hao's head.
Hu Yourong noticed Wang Hao's research, which shocked the international physics community and was naturally very influential. He sent Wang Hao an email and invited Wang Hao for online communication.
Wang Hao contacted Hu Yourong after seeing the email and agreed on a time to have an online call with him.
Link, connect.
Hu Yourong congratulated Wang Hao on his latest research with a smile on his face, and then talked to Wang Hao about the importance of particle physics research, "Our country should also support research in this area."
"Studying the lowest level of physics is very important in basic science. However, we are very behind in this aspect. Ruan Hui formed a team and barely managed to make up more than 20 people..."
He said with a wry smile and shook his head, "Professor Wang, you should support the particle collision project, right?"
When Hu Yourong thought about it, Wang Hao had no reason not to support it.
The research Wang Hao does is in the content of particle physics, and his research can be verified experimentally. It is obviously not a purely theoretical physics similar to string theory.
His research needs to be verified by large-scale experiments, which will naturally support the particle collider project.
If China has the world's largest particle collider, any relevant research in the future can be experimentally verified.
Wang Hao replied somewhat inexplicably, "Academician Hu, your question is too sudden. I haven't thought about it."
"Oh? Is it sudden?" Hu Hourong was a little surprised.
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "I have never considered it. This research of mine was just a temporary idea. Professor Qiu Chengwen suggested that I study the Yang-Mills equation, so I studied it based on my original theory."
"To be honest, I was surprised when Europe verified my research."
"The particle collider project should have nothing to do with me. I don't do research in this area."
Hu Hourong twitched his lips when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know what kind of reaction he should make.
The other party said that he was not professionally engaged in research in this area, but he just followed the advice and studied the Yang-Mills equation, and then he came up with great results that shocked the world?
This is too shocking!
Hu Yourong did not refute or question, because he knew that what Wang Hao said was probably true.
Wang Hao's main research is all about mathematics, including Goldbach's conjecture, including the NS equation. Even if it involves physics, it is a study of the mechanism of superconductivity, and it seems to have little to do with particle physics.
This research is probably a temporary idea, thinking about the Yang-Mills equation...
Then, the results are there!
Hu Yourong continued to think and still felt very depressed. He thought about it vicariously. If he had Wang Hao's level of genius, he really wouldn't need to consider any particle collider project.
experiment?
No need at all!
After doing some mathematical calculations and studying the theory, a theoretical physicist from a high position can predict the experimental results in advance, so why bother to do the experiment?
There is a large group of experimental physicists who will donate funds and compete to help with experimental verifications!
"Alas~~"
Hu Yourong finally sighed, "Professor Wang, if you have any experimental needs, you can tell us at High Energy. Our electron-positron collider can still be used. You also know about the spectrometer detection project. As for particle collisions,
machine project..."
"Let's not talk about it online. We'll see you in Lingcheng next month."
…
After Wang Hao talked to Hu Yourong on the phone, he felt that the other person was quite nice.
In fact, whether the particle collider project is supported or not depends on individual perspectives and opinions.
From the perspective of a quantum physics expert, they are basically supportive, especially those who specialize in experimental research, such as scholars from the Institute of High Energy. How could they oppose large-scale particle physics experimental projects?
This is just like doing ordinary experimental research. Better experimental tools and experimental environment can even play a decisive role in the research results.
Experimental physicists don’t even have a laboratory, so how can they do experiments?
From a national perspective, it is a decision-making issue for officials to consider whether the investment is worth it.
Wang Hao still shook his head.
He is already qualified to participate in decision-making on issues related to such a large-scale project, and he also knows that his opinions are important.
He still didn't want to express his opinion.
As a pure scholar, he still likes to devote himself to research instead of thinking about content that has almost nothing to do with him.
What is directly relevant now is new theoretical research.
To be continued...
