Chapter 160 Why do I feel like I’ve been deceived?!!
The research on the performance of Task 3 ‘Annihilation Force’ suddenly gained a lot of inspiration value, which proves that the experiment of using superconducting to create an alternating gravity field is definitely one of the directions to complete the research.
The reason why it is emphasized as "one" is because the annihilation force may have many manifestations, not necessarily only in experiments related to superconductivity.
However, now that he has found a direction, Wang Hao will definitely seize the opportunity to continue to conduct in-depth research.
The summary of the experiment by the Superconducting Physics Laboratory is wrong. They do not know the principle of annihilation force at all. It is simply impossible to talk about the mass loss of superconducting materials.
Wang Hao affirmed that the research in the physics laboratory was meaningful, and began to talk with Xiao Xinyu and He Yi about the experiment of "using superconductivity to create an AC gravity field."
He had almost no understanding of the experiment.
After knowing the relevant content, I was very surprised, "So, you are replicating foreign experiments, and there is very little relevant information. Communication gravity is only a conceptual statement, and it is not certain to exist?"
"Yes." He Yi said, "There is some information in related fields, and we will study it in this direction."
"Why?"
Wang Hao was a little confused. From what he saw, He Yi and Xiao Xinyu didn't seem to be 'enthusiastic' about communicating gravity. They seemed to be just looking for a direction to research.
However, superconductivity is an emerging technology, and related theoretical research can be said to have many directions. Finding a field that "may exist, or may not exist" to do research will definitely not be as easy to produce results as the underlying superconducting mechanism. .
Xiao Xinyu said with a wry smile, "It's very simple, because I'm applying for funds."
Wang Hao listened with doubts.
Xiao Xinyu explained carefully that they are a physics laboratory supported by Xihai University, and their main direction is theoretical research on superconductivity.
However, the research on superconductivity is very cutting-edge and has many applications in the market.
Research in the application field of superconductivity must be dominated by laboratories with high investment from countries and enterprises, and major projects related to theoretical research on superconducting mechanisms have been won by national key laboratories.
It is almost impossible for an ordinary small laboratory to apply for a superconducting theory project.
The most representative one is the Superconductivity Laboratory under the Academy of Sciences. They specialize in theoretical research on superconductivity and are open to foreign countries. Many projects have international cooperation. The laboratory has been established for more than 30 years and has numerous theoretical properties. The results have also led the international forefront in some aspects.
If it is a large-scale theoretical research project, priority must be given to such a large-scale superconducting laboratory.
The scale of their laboratory is classified as "small and medium", and the rating is only "municipal key". If they want to apply for projects worth more than one million, they must have eye-catching research characteristics.
Obviously, the research on ‘communicative gravity’ is very distinctive.
Xiao Xinyu smiled bitterly and said, "We all know what the higher-ups think."
"Anyway, it's a small project with several million dollars. If it can produce results, it will make a lot of money. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter."
"There is very little research information related to communication gravity. It is either highly classified internationally or there is no progress in the research. It is still very meaningful to study this."
After hearing this, Wang Hao realized that it was precisely because the laboratory did not have much influence that if he wanted to apply for a big project, he had to be distinctive, so he had to study this kind of 'very special' project.
He nodded thinking about it, and also considered participating in the experiment.
The manifestation of the annihilation force is definitely not reflected in the mass loss of superconducting materials. He believes that it is most likely related to the so-called 'AC gravity field'.
But the specific situation still needs further research.
…
Wang Hao left after learning about it in the laboratory.
He still needs to read more information and consider this issue after mastering the basics.
The next day, he looked for information related to the AC gravity field. Indeed, as Xiao Xinyu said, the only publicly available information in the world were some reports from more than 20 years ago, and a paper published by Professor Li Ning.
, and then there was the news that a research team discovered the AC gravity field.
This research team's discovery of the AC gravity field was quite coincidental.
During an experiment in superconducting research, a researcher smoked a cigarette next to the superconducting disk, and then saw that when the smoke floated above the disk, it suddenly changed direction and floated upward, as if there was something below.
Like a slight breeze blowing.
After several consecutive experiments, they confirmed this discovery.
However, there is no relevant information after that. There are rumors that the research was taken over by the Ministry of National Defense of Amerikan and was directly listed as a confidential project. However, there are also other people who believe that the theory of communication gravity field is a lie and a scam.
It is impossible for research to make any further progress.
Sun Jianzheng walked over and asked with interest, "Professor Wang, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the previous information." Wang Haodao, "It is related to the research of superconductivity. Thirty years ago, there was a theoretical study on 'AC Gravity', saying that AC superconductivity can achieve anti-gravity effects. Twenty years ago, there was a
The team discovered the anti-gravity phenomenon, but there were no subsequent reports.”
He shook his head as he said, "Do you think this kind of research is true?"
Sun Jian was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, "AC current superconducting can achieve anti-gravity... It sounds a bit..."
He didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
Zhang Zhiqiang followed and said, "This kind of research sounds unreliable. It's anti-gravity, and it's been thirty years. Even if the research project is kept secret, there should be some news."
He continued, "In this regard, I have also read information. It is said that Stanford University invests 100 million US dollars in anti-gravity research every year, but there are almost no experimental results."
Experimental results refer to the realization of anti-gravity effects in the laboratory.
Wang Hao was a little unsure as he thought about it. Even if it was determined that the 'exchange gravity' experiment was related to the performance of the 'annihilation force', it was not 100% certain that 'exchange gravity' existed.
He looked at Sun Jian and asked, "Sun Jian, why are you looking for me..."
"This!"
Sun Jian took out his mobile phone and showed it to Wang Hao, "Professor Wang, here is a physics research related to you."
Wang Hao looked at it with doubts. The protagonist of the news was Edward Witten. He published a latest research, saying that it explained the disappearance of the hyperon decay signal.
Edward Witten, a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and a Fields winner, was named the sixth most influential figure after World War II by Amerikan Life magazine, and has the highest H-index among contemporary physicists.
Bit.
He is very specialized in quantum field theory, string theory and related topology and geometry. His main contributions include the proof of the positive energy theorem of general relativity, supersymmetry and Morse theory, topological quantum field theory, superstring compactification, mirror symmetry, supersymmetry
Gauge field theory, and conjectures about the existence of M-theory.
etc.
From the fields in which Edward Witten has contributed, we know that he is a top expert in quantum mechanics and string theory.
Regarding the problem of the disappearance of hyperon decay signals, many theoretical physicists around the world have conducted research and demonstrations. Edward Witten also published his own research. He believes that the reason for the disappearance of hyperon decay signals is the weighting of high-dimensional space boundaries.
effect.
"It is difficult for humans to understand high-dimensional space because all our perceptions are related to three-dimensional space."
"But for particles, there is no definite three-dimensional space, and the boundaries of high-dimensional space will produce a weighting effect on low dimensions."
"Some unimaginable phenomena will occur as a result. The sudden disappearance of the hyperon decay signal is just one of them."
"We believe that……"
After Edward Witten published his research, he was interviewed by reporters and talked a lot about the research.
Of course, it was not just an explanation, he also constructed relevant mathematical arguments.
Many mathematicians and physicists have read his research papers and commented that they are "very perfect". The mathematics in them can be said to be beautiful.
Of course, the news only gave a brief introduction, and there was no detailed mathematical content.
"This analysis is very interesting..." Wang Hao made a comment after looking at the content on the news.
The weighting effect of high-dimensional space boundaries.
This explanation can be said to be obscure and difficult to understand. After reading it, Wang Hao felt that his 'annihilation theory' was like vernacular, and it was easy for people to understand it at a glance.
"This is really interesting. Let me take a look at the paper." Wang Hao looked for the paper published by Edward Witten. Because the content was publicly released, he quickly found the relevant paper and read it carefully.
Then he found that there was some content in it that he couldn't understand.
Mainly because the mathematical argument part of the paper involves many examples, the mathematical content also includes some advanced topology, and also involves the dimensional construction of superstring theory. He has not done relevant research, so some of the content is naturally difficult to understand.
.
But judging from what has been understood, I have to admit that the academic evaluation is indeed correct.
The mathematical structure inside is so beautiful!
"He is indeed a super expert in particle mathematics!" He could feel that there was a huge gap between him and Edward Witten in this regard.
Of course, Wang Hao has reservations about the so-called "empowerment effect of high-dimensional space" mentioned by Edward Witten.
Mathematics can be constructed on a theoretical basis, but it is difficult to say whether it is correct or not. High-dimensional explanations are limited and 'illusory'.
Even if the existence of the annihilation force is confirmed, it can still be explained by the ‘weighting effect of high-dimensional space’.
Because it cannot be proven whether there are higher dimensions, string theory cannot be proven in a short time.
This explanation can be said to include many other explanations.
As Sun Jian said, this matter is directly related to Wang Hao. Because among the public results, it is Wang Hao who discovered the disappearance of the positive-anti-Corsi hyperon decay signal through experimental data analysis.
Now Edward Witten's argument is based on the physical phenomenon of the disappearance of hyperon decay signals, which is naturally directly related to Wang Hao.
In the afternoon, a reporter from the provincial newspaper came over.
The reporter interviewed Wang Hao in the corridor, "Professor Wang Hao, it was your discovery that the hyperon decay signal disappeared. What do you think of Edward Witten's explanation?"
Wang Hao asked, "Are you referring to the weighting effect of high-dimensional space?"
The reporter laughed and said, "It seems to be said in academic reports, but I don't quite understand it."
Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "I read Mr. Witten's paper. The mathematics he constructed is very beautiful and magnificent!"
"However, his explanation is difficult to say. Unless string theory is proven one day, explanations related to high-dimensional space can still only be theoretical."
No other comments will be made.
Wang Hao doesn’t care whether he believes in string theory or not. There are many theories in theoretical physics, and string theory is one of them.
This goal is to establish a unified theory of physics. There is no way to prove it, but there is also no way to deny it.
So, just take a look and understand it.
…
Edward Witten is not the only theoretical physicist to explain the disappearance of the hyperon decay signal.
Other theoretical physicists have also provided various explanations for the phenomenon of signal disappearance.
Wang Hao's research is more practical. He is not aiming to perfect the mathematical structure of the annihilation force, but hopes to find further evidence of the existence of the annihilation force.
For several days in a row, he went to the physics laboratory to check the content of their 'communication gravity' experiment. After only about three days of experimentation, the research information in the physics laboratory was no longer helpful.
This is mainly because their experiments were not successful.
Unsuccessful experiments can bring little data, and some results are inaccurate.
Wang Hao had no way to draw conclusions through failed experiments. His inspiration value was still growing, but it only increased by '3' points, and then it got stuck again.
'It seems we should continue this experiment.'
Wang Hao thought carefully and asked He Yi, "When is your next experiment?"
He Yi was stunned after hearing this, and said with a wry smile, "It is estimated that there will be no next experiment. We have been preparing for more than three months, and we are just conducting this experiment. Failure is expected."
"Why?"
"No money."
He Yi gave a very straightforward answer, "We still have more than 600,000 yuan in funds, which must be left for other experiments. This experiment consumes too much money. Every time we experiment with superconducting materials, there is loss."
"Um……"
Wang Hao asked, "Then you don't want the experiment to succeed? Don't you want to discover the phenomenon of exchange of gravity?"
"Of course I hope, but I don't have the money." He Yi said, "The hope of success is too small. We can't spend all the remaining funds on this."
Wang Hao stood up after thinking and sighed, "People should look further ahead!"
"??" He Yi was a little confused.
Wang Hao walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said, "Professor He, think about it carefully, what does it mean if you can discover the phenomenon of communicative gravity in the experiment?"
"...Our experiment was successful?"
"It's not just that." Wang Hao turned around and said seriously, "Your research direction is recognized. If this experiment succeeds, it means that subsequent research can be carried out. How much funding will it cost? How many millions? No,
At least ten million to start!"
He Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Wang Hao asked, "I am very interested in your experiment. Do you mind if I join your research?"
"Of course not, Professor Wang, you are very welcome to join!" He Yi said immediately.
Wang Hao said bluntly, "I want to join mainly because I am very interested in this research and feel that the experiment may be related to finding evidence of the existence of annihilation force."
"Moreover, I think the phenomenon of communicative gravity is very likely to exist. No matter how much money is invested in this research, it is worth it."
"Professor He, Professor Xiao, if you think about it carefully, if we can discover the phenomenon of exchange of gravity, the experiment can be said to be a great success."
"You are scientific researchers, scientists doing research on superconducting physics. What is the greatest achievement of a scientist? The greatest achievement is the discovery of new physical phenomena."
He Yi and Xiao Xinyu nodded together.
"To achieve this goal, hundreds of thousands of dollars are nothing, and what are other small studies? Those studies that are just for publishing papers, spending money out of thin air, have no special meaning, right?"
"We are not trying to pile up papers, but to realize a bigger dream, which is to discover new physical phenomena!"
"For this goal, what can't be sacrificed? If the funds are not enough, that is not a problem at all!"
"Think about it, if you can make new discoveries, the money is nothing, even if you pay personally, it will be an honor and a hero..."
Wang Hao said a lot in succession, with a sonorous and powerful tone, which made people unable to help but get deeply involved in it, and their emotions were also aroused.
He Yidu sighed, "Yes, if you can make new discoveries, it doesn't matter if you pay for it out of your own pocket!"
Xiao Xinyu also followed up and said, "The research on AC gravity is the most important. Everything else is a minor issue. This project was applied for in the name of AC gravity, so naturally it must be worthy of the project."
"Then it's decided. Next, we will prepare for the second experiment, and I will also participate." Wang Hao said seriously.
"Let's make it together!"
Wang Hao, He Yi and Xiao Xinyu shook hands together, with indomitable determination in their eyes.
After Wang Hao left, He Yi and Xiao Xinyu discussed passionately for a long time. But after they came back to their senses and thought about it carefully, they found that something was not right.
How can you conduct an experimental study without paying for it out of your own pocket?
The funds for continuing the research on 'communication gravity' are indeed somewhat insufficient, but wouldn't it be better if they didn't do experiments? They don't expect to succeed anyway...
Moreover, even if he pays out of his own pocket, Wang Hao is the richest, right?
Wang Hao proved Kakutani's conjecture and seems to have just received a bonus of nearly one million US dollars. It is said that because he has published papers in top publications continuously, his monthly income has not been less than six figures.
But this guy kept shouting slogans and calling on us to dig into our pockets...
"Why do I feel like I'm being deceived?" He Yi asked Xiao Xinyu with his lips raised.
Xiao Xinyu thought for a moment and said, "It's strange, I feel the same way..."
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do! It's all decided, and Wang Hao is right when he says that our main research is indeed about exchange of gravity. If we pursue research in this direction, even if we don't succeed in the end, we will have a clear conscience."
"All right……"
"well!"
In the end, the two of them sighed silently together.
