Chapter 231 Stress Testing? Papers and Reports, Paul Fehr:
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.
As the prime-time news reported, his research may open up a new theory.
This is the annihilation theory.
Wang Hao has always hoped to perfect the annihilation theory, but because he cannot find the relationship between the annihilation force and the other three basic forces, he cannot use the existing quantum physics theory as the mathematical basic structure of the annihilation force. He wants to perfect it.
The underlying mathematical foundation will be very difficult.
He thought about it carefully and decided to create a task.
Even if the difficulty is very high, because it is his own theory and is directly related to the study of superconducting mechanisms, he still needs to study it.
Create a task——
【Task 3】
[Research project name: Constructing a mathematical system for annihilation theory (difficulty: S+).]
[Inspiration value: 0.]
"S+ again?"
Wang Hao was not surprised when he saw the level of difficulty of the task, but found that he seemed to have been challenging the high level of difficulty.
‘Task One’ is the study of the Yang-Mills equation, with a difficulty level of ‘S+’; ‘Task Two’ is the construction of a unidirectional semi-topological system, with a difficulty level of S.
Now it is another ‘S+’ mathematical system to construct the annihilation theory.
"This seems to be the easiest way to build a semi-topological system."
"Is it because the mathematical theoretical research of applied physics is... simpler than the theoretical research of microphysics?"
Wang Hao tugged at the corner of his mouth, thinking that his research with Bill Carr and Lin Bohan had not made any progress for a long time, and he suddenly felt a little depressed.
Research is really difficult!
…
Many people are discussing Wang Hao's latest research, but ordinary students in the university are discussing Ding Zhiqiang more.
Wang Hao seemed too far away from them.
Ding Zhiqiang is also a student, so he naturally feels close to him.
When Wang Hao mentioned Ding Zhiqiang's name in a public interview, Ding Zhiqiang also became popular.
Ding Zhiqiang’s name has appeared in many media reports, and some even directly classified him as a ‘genius’, believing that he will be a pillar figure in the domestic mathematics community in the future.
Because Ding Zhiqiang is only a first-year graduate student.
As a first-year graduate student, I was able to help Wang Hao in research, which is amazing when you think about it.
Ding Zhiqiang was completely exposed and he became a celebrity on campus.
Ding Zhiqiang was also very famous before because he was the student named by Wang Hao, but students are just students after all, but now his fame has spread beyond Xihai University to the whole country.
Because there are many reports in the media, everyone who knows Ding Zhiqiang knows about it.
That day, my mother called me excitedly and said, "Xiaoqiang, I've known you are a genius since you were a child. Although you didn't do well in the college entrance examination, it was a blessing in disguise!"
"Now that you are Professor Wang Hao's student, you must give credit to your family, keep working hard, and truly become a great scientist in the future..."
Ding Zhiqiang immediately felt very depressed. It was indeed good to be praised, but he did not help Wang Hao in research, and he did not even know how he helped Wang Hao.
Until now, he has only just understood the Yang-Mills equation.
Therefore, he feels that he has received honors and attention that he does not deserve, and similar honors and attentions do not seem to bring any benefits.
For example, he clearly felt that the seniors and sisters looked at him in a somewhat unfriendly way.
There is an old saying that goes, ‘If you are not envied by others, you are not a talented person’.
However, Ding Zhiqiang thinks that he is not a talented person, so how come he is jealous for no reason?
He was under undue pressure.
Ding Zhiqiang's feeling is not wrong, several seniors are indeed jealous of him, the most obvious one is Xu Jie.
While in the workplace, Xu Jie couldn't help but said depressedly, "I feel that I am no worse than Ding Zhiqiang. Why does Teacher Wang always praise him?"
"I was also present at the time, and I felt that what I said was good. Ding Zhiqiang just said "solve the equation," and then Teacher Wang knew how to continue the research?"
"I will give more suggestions to Teacher Wang next time..."
Others are also a little jealous of Ding Zhiqiang, but they don't show it clearly.
For example, Chen Mengmeng is obviously more serious about studying.
For example, Qiu Hui'an wholeheartedly hopes to complete the proof of Legendre's conjecture.
Helen acted nonchalantly and straightforwardly analyzed Xu Jie's heart, "Judging from your tone and emotion, you are jealous of Ding Zhiqiang, right?"
Of course Xu Jie would not admit it, "Would I be jealous of him?"
Helen nodded and said, "Your behavior is in line with psychological expectations for 'jealousy' emotions."
"If your performance is not jealousy, it may be a neurological syndrome in the brain that prompts you to target Ding..."
"stop!"
Xu Jie quickly interrupted Helen's tirade. He already knew Helen very well and knew that if he continued talking, he might become a 'psycho'. "Just take it as what you said is right."
"There is no 'just', of course I am right!"
Helen emphasized the sentence very seriously and continued, "Jealousy is a biological instinctive emotion of group competition. Not only humans, animals also have jealous emotions. For example, in nature, some lionesses..."
"Ula Ula~~"
She talked a lot in succession, which made several people in the work room feel dizzy. Then she said, "As long as you understand the nature of this emotion, you can always remind yourself not to have this emotion."
"So I never feel jealous of others."
Others believed it.
In their view, Helen was already a genius, and there was no reason to be jealous of Ding Zhiqiang, because no matter how powerful Ding Zhiqiang was, he only reminded Teacher Wang Hao, rather than doing any research himself.
At this time, I heard Helen say, "Through this incident, I discovered a problem. My previous IQ test was actually not perfect."
Xu Jie asked, "You mean, your IQ test results for Ding Zhiqiang are incorrect?"
"No, his IQ is indeed 81 points." Helen confirmed.
"That is?"
"There is a lack of a very necessary content - the stress test." Helen explained, "I think an index of 'stress test results' should be added to make a comprehensive evaluation of a person. IQ is not the decision of evaluation.
factor."
"With the same IQ, when faced with a problem, some people can solve it patiently, while others will give up halfway."
"The stress test is about how to continue working or studying under high-intensity pressure. Here, it needs to be emphasized that for Ding Zhiqiang, the most important thing is learning."
Xu Jie understood after hearing this, "You mean to say that we can assign more learning tasks to Ding Zhiqiang, so that he can bear greater learning pressure, and then record his progress to collect information to judge the stress index?"
Helen showed a teachable look, "I think the content can be doubled, which may exceed his critical line. At that time, we can take turns to help check the learning progress, and make records and collect data."
The other three nodded as they listened.
Putting this test on Ding Zhiqiang sounds very interesting!
Geniuses should bear more pressure!
Qiu Hui'an suddenly asked in confusion, "Helen, are you sure it's not because you are jealous of Ding Zhiqiang?"
"Would I be jealous of him?"
Helen stared at Qiu Hui'an and asked in a bad tone, "Do you also want to do a pressure test?"
Qiu Hui'an quickly waved his hand vigorously, "This kind of test should be left to geniuses!"
…
The other side of the earth.
Bruce Pulitzer received the video sent by Wang Hao, and posted the video on Twitter with depression, along with the sentence, "I lost my job to God!"
This video attracted a lot of attention.
Many people came to watch the video and joked, "Bruce, God has abandoned you."
"Poor Bruce!"
“Look how God favors the people of Eagle Country!”
"You have tried very hard, but there is nothing you can do..."
These jokes gave Bruce Pulitzer some comfort.
What can you do if you lose to God?
But no matter what, Wang Hao decided to publish the paper in the journal "Nature", which made many scholars in the physics community focus on the journal "Nature".
"Nature" magazine received Wang Hao's submission, and they immediately stated that Wang Hao's paper would be published in the next issue of "Nature Physics".
The next issue will be at the beginning of next month.
At the same time, the Chinese Mathematicians Conference also announced that Wang Hao would give a research report on the 'Yang-Mills equation' at the Mathematicians Conference.
The news attracted more attention.
Many scholars immediately applied to attend the Chinese Mathematicians Conference.
The organizing committee of the Chinese Mathematicians Conference received a large number of applications to participate in the conference. There were more than twenty applications from the Institute of High Energy of the Domestic Academy of Sciences alone.
Mathematics and physics scholars from some universities have also applied to participate in the conference.
Many applications are also sent from abroad.
In the field of quantum physics research, foreign countries are relatively more in-depth, and the applicants include several top quantum physics experts.
The European Organization for Nuclear Organization's test experiment had just ended, and they all happened to come over to attend the Chinese Mathematicians Conference to listen to Wang Hao's research results report.
By the way...
A trip to China can be regarded as a trip. To relax, it can be treated as a publicly funded vacation after work.
This is a very legitimate reason.
Faced with a large number of applications from top scholars, Qiu Chengwen was naturally very happy. He organized the Chinese Mathematicians Conference.
In recent years, the conference has been getting better and better, and more top scholars have participated, making the conference more and more influential.
Qiu Chengwen hopes that the meeting will be a success.
…
Among the scholars who are preparing to attend the Chinese Mathematicians Conference, not all are here to listen to Wang Hao's report. There are also people who are specifically here to deny the annihilation theory.
For example, Paul Phil-Jones.
Paul Phil-Jones is a professor at Caltech.
He has three doctoral degrees and a master's degree on his head. At the age of only 32, he has been appointed as a full professor, which shows how talented he is.
As a scholar who specializes in string theory research, Paul Phil-Jones admires Edward Witten very much. He has always targeted Edward Witten and hopes to promote string theory.
Therefore, he is very disgusted with the annihilation theory.
When he first saw the introduction of the theory, he defined the annihilation theory as a 'false scam'.
He also accepted an interview for this, "Nowadays, the media reports without distinguishing right from wrong, and the annihilation theory is a complete scam."
"This theory says that space squeezing will crush mass units, which completely conflicts with the existing physical system."
"I don't know how he did the calculations. He used his one success to promote his theory. If more people believed in his theory, it would be a setback for science and physics!"
Paul Phil-Jones' words are very sharp.
There is a reason for this.
Eighty percent of the underlying foundations of annihilation theory directly conflict with string theory.
Let’s take the simplest example——
String theory states that all matter is composed of the most basic strings.
The annihilation theory believes that the annihilation force is a microscopic manifestation of gravity and will directly annihilate the mass unit.
Strings must exist less than or equal to a mass unit.
In other words, the appearance of strings will be directly annihilated by space, so how can they constitute matter?
Although the annihilation theory has no mathematical foundation and is just a few simple definitions, it is absolutely unacceptable.
"This is the inverse of string theory!"
"Devil's theory!"
“False scam!”
Paul Phil-Jones simply couldn't accept it. He even called on more people on the Internet to boycott Wang Hao's annihilation theory.
