498 All-round competition(1/2)

Wang Yufei’s Weibo has always been the focus of many self-media.

Of course it's not just Wang Yufei, in fact many celebrities are the targets of these people's attention.

And this time the situation is quite special. It has been nearly two years since Wang Yufei's Weibo was launched, and he has only posted a few Weibo posts. But this time he posted seven Weibo posts in one go, attracting countless people's attention.

The only problem is probably that I can't understand it.

There was no plain language this time, and there were even very few numbers. It was all letters and various mathematical and physical symbols.

People often say in the past that they can recognize these words when they are taken apart, but when they are put together, they have no idea what they say. Obviously the situation is different this time. Let alone not knowing what they mean when put together, even if they are put together, they don’t know what they mean.

After opening it, there are still many symbols that I don’t understand what they mean.

This is actually a very embarrassing thing.

Fortunately, there is a great Internet.

After checking the symbols one by one, I finally took it apart and could read it.

Intersection, collection, line integral, vector, partial derivative, differential operator, gravity, spring, Hamilton, seven Weibo posts have become a large-scale science popularization site for many self-media people. They do not say they understand these equations, but they have popularized a lot of science.

Scientific symbols that ordinary people probably never use once in their lifetime.

But it doesn't really matter what these equations describe.

I just like these incomprehensible things, everyone can have their own understanding.

"Surprise! The inventor announced the super equation, which may contain the truth of the universe!"

"The evidence for the existence of the four-dimensional world has been found, and it is actually hidden in mathematical formulas!"

"High-dimensional life has been proven to exist, and solving these equations is conclusive evidence!"



Professor Pan immediately saw Wang Yufei’s Weibo.

In order to be able to see these messages, he specially asked the young assistant in the institute how to use Weibo, how to follow it, and receive the message as soon as the other party posted on Weibo.

Then he immediately transferred all the contents and pictures of these seven Weibo posts to professional software and began to study them. Professor Pan became obsessed with them.

If you really dig into it, you will find that all seven equations have no solutions because they are missing a constant.

These equations all use the speed of light, which is the only constant in Maxwell's equations, and Planck's constant, which was created only after the birth of quantum mechanics. It is also the only constant in the Schrödinger equation.

But if you need solutions to these equations, you also need a constant, a constant that can explain the entire universe together with the speed of light and Planck's constant.

Of course, it is not important whether these equations can be solved. What is important is that after several hours of thinking, Professor Pan finally understood the meaning of these equations listed by Wang Yufei. It can be said that this has raised a new world problem.

This world problem can be expressed in pure natural language as whether there is a physical constant that has not been discovered yet. When this physical constant is discovered, combined with the speed of light and Planck's constant, all natural constants, including but not limited to basic

The mass of particles, life span, mass of Chinese characters, gravitational constant, Rydberg constant, Avogadro constant, Heidelberg constant, vacuum permeability, etc. In short, any constant you can think of can be passed through these three constants

Calculate, or express.

In addition, when this constant appears, it can completely complete the current structure of physics, and even describe the four fundamental forces with unified equations. Its most significant significance is that from now on, humans will be able to clearly see the structure of the universe.

The mode of operation has allowed human civilization to officially enter a new stage.

Excited heart, trembling hands...

Lao Pan really wants to solve these seven equations. If he can solve them, it means that this hypothesis is correct and he can find the mysterious physical constant. If he cannot solve them at all, it means that this hypothesis is wrong and proves that the universe is

The world is not perfect, and the four forces can never be unified.

too strong!

Wang Yufei is too strong!

Lao Pan thought that Wang Yufei's strength still had limitations.

But now Lao Pan discovered that he was wrong. Ever since this formula was proposed, Pan Wenyue felt that if this year's Nobel Prize in Physics was not awarded to Wang Yufei, it would definitely be a shame for the Nobel Prize!

Of course, whoever can solve this problem will not win a Nobel Prize.

To solve this problem, the quality of scientists is also extremely high, and they have to be proficient in mathematics and physics at the same time. Pan Wenyue found that he was really not good at it. For the first time in his life, he felt that his knowledge reserve was still lacking.

Regret followed immediately. At that time, Wang Yufei wanted to accept him as his teacher. How could he be so stupid that he turned this student away?

Well, now I have many regrets.

Although his knowledge reserve is a little small, who stipulates that the world's problems can only be solved by one person?

Who doesn’t have a few friends who study mathematics and physics?

Thinking of this, Pan Wenyue immediately picked up the phone.

"Hey, Lao Li, do you understand Weibo? Hey, you really do. Let me tell you, go to Weibo now and follow Wang Yufei's Weibo. There are seven equations on his Weibo.

Let’s study it together? Don’t ask so many questions, you’ll know after you take a look first.”



Apparently there is more than one scientific master who has paid attention to Wang Yufei’s Weibo.

After all, Wang Yufei had just put forward a hypothesis in crude language, which had caused controversy in the entire Western scientific community. At this time, he suddenly came up with several equations inexplicably, not to mention that there were a bunch of high-tech companies who were always paying attention to Wang Yufei's Weibo.

.

Therefore, these equations were put in front of many Western scientists as soon as they were proposed.

For a time, the academic debate was suspended.

After all, countless three-dimensional worlds make up a four-dimensional world, which is just a superficial language. However, these equations thrown out by Wang Yufei can be concluded through specific calculations.

In the academic world, it is natural to use academic language to solve problems.

Soon countless scholars began to study these equations, and then everyone came to similar conclusions as Pan Wenyue.

This is indeed a difficult problem. The problem now is to prove that all these equations have solutions. Maybe we can find a constant that can solve most of the problems currently faced by physics. It can even provide a more scientific explanation for the phenomena of quantum mechanics, making quantum mechanics more scientific.

become easier to understand.

Of course, it can also be proven that at least one of the equations has no solution, which means that this constant does not exist. We live in a non-perfect universe, and there is no theory that can unify this to explain all phenomena. Even many observations are not the truth.

Once it spread to ten, it spread to hundreds. After a fission-like spread, the entire world of mathematics and physics was soon shaken.

How long has it been since a scholar came up with a global problem that shocked the world?

It finally appeared today, and it was a problem posted on Weibo.

Soon, these seven equations were directly defined as Yufei's conjecture, the third constant conjecture, and some were also called the human glory conjecture for ease of expression.

The reason is simple. If anyone can really find this physical constant and completely agree on the four basic forces of physics, it means that the entire human civilization has entered a moment of glory, and countless scientific problems will be solved.

For example, for quantum mechanics, people do not need to make observations. They can uncover the mystery of the microscopic world through calculations, understand the movement and spin of countless particles, understand the countless trajectories left by countless particles in the microscopic world, and even directly

Draw these trajectories.

Life is always full of ups and downs.

One second, everyone was still arguing about whether there are multiple real worlds and constitute a real high-dimensional world. The next moment, they were overwhelmed by a bunch of equations. But it is undeniable that another worthy one is

A topic for research emerged.

Soon academic circles around the world became lively.

But obviously this is not good news for high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.



In the United States, an extraordinary meeting is underway.

However, this is not a meeting held on a specific occasion, but a video conference.

Of course, being able to participate in this meeting comes with a lot of background.

IBM, Google, Microsoft, Intel, D-Wave, etc. are all the company leaders who are researching quantum computers. In addition, there are also the Secretary-General of the American Universities Space Research Association, senior managers of NASA, and various companies.

The company's technical executives, mathematicians, physicists and other famous figures in academia are prominently listed.

At this time, Carl Nazate, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, a professor at Columbia University, and the world's top physicist, had finished his speech and was answering questions raised by executives from various companies.

"Mr. Nazhat, according to your explanation just now, if we can prove these equations, it means that we can perfectly solve the error correction problem of quantum computers?" Google President Sundar Pichai asked again.

He had to determine this issue.

Although everyone is studying the issue of quantum computers, there is no doubt that according to the report of the Google X laboratory, Sundar has always believed that Google has reached the forefront of the world in quantum computer research, including but not limited to the most advanced quantum computers.

chip.

Not to mention that Google just accepted the challenge of Changxiang Technology a few months ago.

At this time, no one really wants to see a Chinese company really catch up with their research in the most cutting-edge technology such as quantum computers.

"More than that. According to my discussions with several old friends, if the Chinese people have really solved these equation problems, they will be able to design a powerful general-purpose quantum computer in a very short time. And it will have extremely rich capabilities.

Algorithms for beating classical computers. Since not all of the participants today are professionals, I try to explain it in plain language."

"First of all, let's clarify a concept. Quantum mechanics follows the uncertainty principle. Therefore, when doing quantum calculations, it is not to assign a value to the qubit, but to prepare the quantum state of the qubit. But if we need to obtain the result, we need to calculate the quantum state.

Observe the state. After the measurement, no matter whether it is the state you want or not, this state has collapsed, and the collapsed state is the measurement basis."

"But if the quantum state can be calculated through constants, then the quantum state can be known without actually measuring it. Or in other words, the precise percentage of its possible existing states can be known. This is a leap forward for quantum computing.
