Chapter 206: Same goal, new theoretical basis? Sounds like
It’s not reliable!
Annihilation theory is an idea that emerged during Wang Hao's analysis of hyperon decay data and was judged to be correct by the system.
That's when he decided to start doing research.
The research was not smooth from the beginning. He only completed the analysis of the expression form. Because he could not find other related content, he could not establish a mathematical system.
Later, he accidentally discovered that the study of AC gravity seemed to be related to the expression of annihilation force, so he decided to participate in the AC gravity experiment.
The research on communicative gravity went very smoothly, but in the process of continuous experiments, the progress of tasks related to the annihilation theory was not improved.
The inspiration value of related tasks has been stuck at '60' points and has never been improved.
Now it has finally improved again.
【Task 3】
[Research project name: Exploring the manifestations of space annihilation force (Difficulty: S).]
[Inspiration value: 77.]
"Sure enough, it is related to superconductivity, but I didn't expect that it would extend to the complex issues of material topology."
Wang Hao sighed.
Topology is a branch of mathematics developed from geometry and set theory. It mainly studies concepts such as space, dimensionality and transformation.
The origin of these terms can be traced back to Gottfried Leibniz, who proposed the terms "geometry of position" and "phase analysis" in the 17th century.
Leonhard-Euler's Königsberg Seven Bridges Problem and Euler's characteristic numbers are considered to be the original theorems in the field of topology.
Topology is a subject that requires a lot of imagination. The concept of congruence of two figures is not discussed in the subject, but the concept of topological equivalence is discussed.
For example, the shapes of circles and triangles are different in size, but under topological transformation, they are equivalent figures.
For example, football and rugby are also equivalent.
Swimming rings and footballs have different topological properties because there is a "hole" in the middle of the swimming ring.
In topology, the space represented by the football is called the sphere, and the space represented by the swimming ring is called the torus. The sphere and the torus are different spaces.
Obviously, in normal understanding, topological problems only exist in imagination, because real matter has differences in shape and size.
Therefore, it was previously believed that it was impossible to find topological terms in reality.
Duncan-Haldane focuses on the study of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter. He and his colleagues use topology as a research tool, hoping to apply topological concepts to physics.
This is a very surprising method.
Other colleagues even thought they were crazy because topological phase transitions and topological phases only exist in mathematical concepts.
Later, Duncan-Haldane and his colleagues proved that superconductivity can occur at low temperatures and explained the mechanism by which superconductivity can also occur at higher temperatures - phase transition.
This research helped them win the Nobel Prize in Physics.
In fact, it should be noted that Duncan-Haldane did not actually discover the topological phase transition of superconducting, but used topological methods to explain some phenomena in superconducting research.
Most of the work he and his colleagues did was still mathematical work, and they did not actually discover changes in topological properties inside superconductors.
The topological phase transition and topological phase of superconductivity are just one explanation of related condensed matter physics.
The reason why this explanation won the Nobel Prize is mainly because it uses topology to explain condensed matter physical phenomena, which is very innovative and can promote the scientific community's multi-faceted understanding of material phenomena.
The physics community generally believes that the introduction of topology to explain condensed matter physics is very valuable for studying the development of materials science.
Similarly, annihilation theory is also a microphysical explanation.
More importantly, Wang Hao has understood that the manifestation of the annihilation force is directly related to the topological phase transition inside the superconductor.
After digesting the latest progress of the mission, Wang Hao became very enthusiastic about Mayor. He explained his annihilation theory in detail.
"The annihilation force can be understood as the microscopic manifestation of gravity."
"At the same time, it can also be understood as the effect of space and particles. Previous physical explanations are that massive objects can have an effect on space. This is the most basic gravity."
"But the effects of force are reciprocal, and I believe this is the most basic law of the universe."
"No matter how tiny a particle is, as long as it has mass, it must be related to the effect of space."
"..."
On this issue, Wang Hao continued to say a lot, even some of his own thoughts, and there were some things that could not be proved.
He even talked about the mathematical framework he built, but the framework has not yet been completed, only some simple logic.
Wang Hao's enthusiasm is also related to the reason for Mayor's arrival.
Mayor came here for the annihilation theory, hoping to find a way to prove the existence of the annihilation force through experiments.
This is very good for him.
If a brand-new theory can be proven through experiments, the Nobel Prize in Physics can be said to be just around the corner.
Wang Hao also hopes that Mayor can prove his theory.
Their goals are the same.
Unfortunately, in terms of particle-related experiments, Wang Hao can think of only the decay of baryons that is directly related to the annihilation force, that is, the physical process in which the annihilation force participates.
This is like the decay of positive and negative Corsi hyperons.
Mayor also proposed several design plans for baryon decay, and he and Wang Hao discussed them for a long time.
After two hours, they had to end it because Wang Hao was about to take a flight back to Xihai in the afternoon.
The two walked out of the restaurant together.
Martin Haier was at the door. He was holding a suitcase in his hand and he was obviously about to leave. When he saw Wang Hao and Mayor walking out together, he waved hello.
Mayor waved, turned around and left quickly.
Wang Hao walked over and asked, "Are you leaving? Back to London?"
Martin Heyer said, "I will go back to Odili first. I will treat this trip as a vacation. I still have a week's vacation."
"That's not bad."
"You and Mayor get along well?" Martin Hare said. "I told others yesterday that they were all worried about you being abducted to study theoretical physics."
He said with emphasis, "Mayor is not very popular."
"He succeeded?"
"What?"
"I mean Mayor succeeded, and I'm going to go back and study my annihilation theory."
"...Are you kidding me?" Martin Haier opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner.
"I never joke when it comes to research."
Martin Hale didn't know what to say for a while. He hesitated for a long time, but still advised, "I suggest you think about it carefully. Those theoretical physicists are all madmen."
"My car is here and I'm leaving."
Martin Haier walked forward with his luggage, then turned back and added, "But..."
"You are crazy too."
…
Mayor.
Martin Hale is gone.
Many people have left.
Wang Hao also left.
When he came, his mood was a little complicated, but when he left, he felt very calm, and even looked forward to going back soon.
Because he found his research direction.
Superconducting topological phase transitions, AC gravity fields, and annihilation theory seem to form a closed loop in research. Previously, there was no relationship between annihilation theory and AC gravity fields.
The topological phase transition inside superconducting happens to be the medium in the middle.
"So the formation of the AC gravity field is likely to be affected by the annihilation force. The microstructure inside the superconductor is affected to form a topological phase and a topological phase transition, resulting in incidental physical phenomena?"
"In short, there must be a relationship between the three."
To be precise, the relevant research belongs to the category of "condensed matter physics" and is a brand new explanation of superconducting condensed matter physics.
Wang Hao and his party returned to Xihai City, and the situation was different when they came back.
In the conference hall of Donggang University, Wang Hao's NS equation report was successful, which means that the NS equation problem has been solved.
The Millennium Mathematical Puzzle has been solved, which is definitely the most important news in the world of mathematics.
Wang Hao himself is the most attractive. He has done many heavyweight studies before, including Goldbach's conjecture.
He is only 26 years old. He will definitely win the Fields this year and will become the youngest Fields winner.
This series of halos on the head is enough to arouse huge public discussion.
Now that he has completed the NS equation problem, there are discussions about him everywhere. In terms of domestic mathematics, he can even be said to be "canonized".
He is the number one mathematician, even surpassing those historical figures.
There were already a large number of reporters waiting at the airport gate, and there were even many "fans" who came to greet him. They stood there and shouted Wang Hao's name, as if they had crazy admiration for him.
Wang Hao truly experienced the feeling of being a star.
A large number of reporters and people came to pick him up. As soon as he walked out, he was surrounded by a group of people. Fortunately, with the help of the airport security and the security around him, he managed to escape.
What made him feel dumbfounded the most was the shouts from a group of suspected fans, "Wang Hao! Wang Hao!"
"Welcome back!"
"Wang Hao! Wang Hao! You are our pride!"
Wang Hao tugged at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand in that direction, and then said into the microphone of a reporter next to him, "I am not a celebrity and I don't need fans. Please be sensible."
Then he was escorted to the car.
At this time, Wang Hao also understood why some celebrities would get on the bus without paying attention to anyone at the airport.
There are too many reporters coming to interview, and there are also a lot of fans. It is impossible to take care of everyone, so just ignore everyone.
He returned to Xihai University.
Xihai University also has relevant countermeasures. They have unified management of reporters and clearly prohibit reporters from entering the school privately for interviews. Even if they are only interviewing students, they must apply first, otherwise it will be illegal.
At the same time, there are security guards patrolling the school and expelling any reporter they see.
This made the school much quieter.
After Wang Hao returned to school, he took a rest and paid attention to the space agency's project. The project had been docked.
The space agency has taken away the relevant code and is verifying the core algorithm.
The verification process takes at least a month, and they need to continuously perform calculations to try to ensure that all results meet the needs and do not allow any surprises.
Later, Luan Haiping came over again, and he still asked about course-related matters.
The semester is almost over.
He was about to prepare for the next semester, and he asked what courses Wang Hao would teach.
This time Wang Hao refused the course, "Next semester, I will give more lectures in the laboratory or give open classes to students."
When Luan Haiping heard what Wang Hao said, he immediately laughed easily. What he hoped most was that Wang Hao would not waste time in ordinary classes.
Now it's finally happened.
In fact, Wang Hao also had his own considerations in the course. He found that it was best to give lectures to graduate students and doctoral students in the laboratory, because he could teach whatever he wanted.
If there is a real demand for courses, we can also open large public courses.
Ordinary courses no longer have any meaning for his current research. For A-level and above research, finding the research direction is the most important. As long as there is the correct research direction, the inspiration value will continue to rise.
On the contrary, no matter how many irrelevant courses are taught, the inspiration value will not continue to increase after it reaches a certain amount.
The next day Wang Hao went to the physics laboratory.
The physics laboratory now is completely different from two months ago.
There are more people in the laboratory, and four postdocs have been directly recruited, including an associate researcher. At the same time, the vacant room on the first floor has been turned into an equipment room, and several new equipment have been added.
The largest piece of equipment is a set of pressure and heat preservation devices, which were purchased specifically for AC gravity experiments.
This set of equipment cost eleven million yuan.
Brand-new equipment is naturally effective. With the assistance of new equipment, subsequent related experiments will be easier and the cost will be reduced accordingly.
The biggest development of the laboratory is the addition of an important researcher - Xiang Qiansheng.
As a researcher at the National Superconducting Laboratory and an expert in the field of electronic science and engineering, Xiang Qiansheng has rich research experience in the field of superconductivity. His arrival can even directly make up for the relative lack of experience in superconducting research in physics laboratories.
Xiang Qiansheng is still adapting to the environment.
He has just arrived at Xihai University for two weeks, and the school attaches great importance to his arrival and provides him with a lot of care in his daily life.
However, Xiang Qiansheng is still more concerned about experiments. The purpose of coming to Xihai University is to participate in a research project on communication dynamics.
He is very interested in the research direction proposed by Wang Hao.
After meeting Wang Hao again, Xiang Qiansheng asked about the relevant content, and even provided a piece of gossip, "I heard that Wang Chenglin is conducting research in the direction you mentioned."
"This guy is really shameless. He just doesn't let their project be considered as a project. He also wants to steal your research direction."
"He found at least four mathematics professors who were responsible for building mathematical models."
"They have been working in this direction for a month, and there is probably some progress."
Xiang Qiansheng said a little worried.
The Physics Laboratory project has been finalized, but if the research progress is not as good as that of the Basic Science Center, it will still be very depressing, and it will also affect subsequent project applications.
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Professor Xiang, you don't have to worry about this, there is no way their research will make progress."
"oh?"
Wang Haodao, "Of course I'm not saying there's no progress at all, but it's impossible for them to make a breakthrough of practical significance."
"Why?" Xiang Qiansheng didn't understand.
Wang Haodao, "Because the relevant mathematical analysis is very difficult, not everyone can construct a mathematical model. As long as there is a slight mistake, problems may occur."
"Of course, with more experimental data, we can gradually improve it in the future, but the speed is very slow."
"In addition, all mathematical models require basic theoretical support, otherwise they will be meaningless."
"The reason why I am not in a hurry to start the project is because I have not found the exact theoretical support."
This is the first time Xiang Qiansheng has heard this statement, because using physical experiments to study mathematical models is a very novel method, and he has not engaged in similar framework research.
He asked doubtfully, "Isn't the research you mentioned as the main direction of constructing mathematical models?"
"of course not."
Wang Haodao, "Mathematics is just a method and a means, which is the same in any research."
He explained, "Actually, their original research on condensed matter physics is a very good direction. Using this direction as the theoretical basis and then building mathematical models, it is possible to achieve results."
"They focus on building mathematical models, which is a wrong approach in itself."
"Our research is the same, relying on experiments to construct mathematical models to assist in improving basic theories."
Xiang Qiansheng suddenly grasped the key, "What theory?"
Wang Hao thought about it and said, "I am researching, it should be called..."
"The annihilation topological phase transition theory of superconductivity, right?"
"..."
Xiang Qiansheng suddenly felt a little unreliable. He thought Wang Hao had theoretical support, but he ended up saying something completely incomprehensible.
Is this being studied?
It’s both annihilation and topology. It sounds a little unreliable!
