The early morning sunlight hit the computer screen from the window, reflecting a somewhat dazzling white light that shone on Campbell's face.
That wrinkled face is obviously much older than it was two years ago.
Campbell sighed sadly, rubbed his forehead vigorously, and turned on the computer habitually.
Two years ago, he would not have been so diligent at all.
When I come to the office every morning, I first make a cup of coffee, read some magazine news, relax, and then get back to work.
It's different now.
In the past two years, he has served as the most ordinary review editor. It would not matter if it were anyone else, but he was once a higher-level editor of "Nature Physics", and his mentality is completely different.
So he is busy working every day, hoping to get promoted again based on his performance.
Last month, he succeeded.
Magdalena Skipper was satisfied with his performance and returned him to his original position.
The editor-in-chief of "Nature Physics" has only Magdalena Skipper, the editor-in-chief of "Nature", who is one level above her. She can be considered as the person in charge of "Nature Physics".
Although he successfully returned to his original position, Campbell did not dare to relax at all. He learned the lesson from the last time and kept "Donald Cordini" in his heart.
"This despicable old woman!" Campbell couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of Cordini's name, but did he have any good ideas, because Donald Cordini had retired.
The recent news related to Donald Cordini is that he found a forty-year-old boyfriend after his retirement, and even went shopping hand in hand in the mall intimately.
Campbell felt even more uncomfortable when he thought about it.
He is still working hard every day in order to earn a salary to support his family, while his 'enemy' Cordini retired safely and found a young and strong boyfriend.
"hateful……"
"If I were in New York, ahem..."
Campbell clenched his fists hard, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the time, quickly gathered his thoughts, and checked the manuscript in his mailbox.
The first copy was not interesting, so I sent it back directly.
Second part, what is it? Isn’t it possible for a comet to hit the earth and wipe out the dinosaurs?
third……
Campbell read several articles in a row and felt a little dizzy when he saw a "big headline".
"Strong annihilation power?"
He read the introduction with confusion, and then noticed the author's name.
The reason he didn't notice it at first was because he saw two unfamiliar names, Helen Hinton and Chen Mengmeng.
After downloading the paper, he noticed the corresponding author - Wang Hao?
Campbell stood up smartly, and then he knew that he did not need to review it, so he immediately approved it and marked the sentence "Wang Hao, publish directly".
After confirming that the paper would be published directly, Campbell breathed a sigh of relief and patiently read the contents of the paper.
I was really patient this time, and it lasted all morning.
Although it was not a word-for-word review, I also browsed the content of the main body and realized that the main argument was the impact of strong annihilation force on particles, and I came to an important conclusion--
Continuous strong annihilation force will make the structure of particles more stable and cause the properties of particles to weaken.
"This conclusion..."
Campbell felt a little confused, so he went back to the end and looked again, and suddenly thought of the controversy in the international physics community about the existence of dark matter.
Suddenly, he understood.
Campbell realized that the problem was a bit big, so he immediately called Magdalena Skipper and explained the paper Wang Hao had submitted and the problems with the content.
"That is another explanation for dark matter, which makes up for the lack of explanation in the field of astronomy and physics when dark matter does not exist."
"But it will definitely cause controversy. Now whether dark matter exists is an international academic issue."
"More scholars believe in Parsons' theory. If this study is released, it's unclear whether it will have any impact..."
After hearing this, Magdalena Skipper didn't care at all. Instead, she said with great interest, "Just follow the next issue."
"No, put it directly on the website, publish it online in advance, and publish it publicly and free of charge, and hang it on the homepage!"
"Campbell, you have to know that we are just an academic journal. Our job is to publish scholars' papers. Many scholars will be interested in Wang Hao's latest research."
"This is enough!"
"Our job is to let more scholars see the papers they are interested in. As for whether it will cause controversy..."
"If there is, that's the best."
Now Campbell understood.
He does think a bit complicatedly. They just publish papers. As for the internal disputes in the annihilation theory, what does it have to do with them?
The most important thing is that Wang Hao decided to publish the paper in "Nature" magazine instead of "Science" magazine.
This opportunity must be seized.
…
"Nature" magazine uses actions to explain what "publication speed" means.
Wang Hao submitted the article two days ago. Only two days later, the paper appeared on the large-screen news on the main website of Nature magazine. The background picture of the news was a mysterious mathematical symbol, with a sentence below -
—
"Wang Hao's latest achievement!"
Below that is a subtitle, ""Strong Annihilation Force"."
After clicking on the news page, I saw a simple explanation of the research on ‘Strong Annihilation Force’, with a free download link.
The approach of Nature magazine truly shows their sincerity. They have not reviewed it, and just like publishing news, they directly hang the paper on the main website, so that everyone can directly download and watch it.
Those who do not subscribe to Nature magazine can also download and watch it for free.
This will allow the paper to be seen by more people.
Wang Hao was shocked by the speed and method of publication. He received a lot of special treatment, but this time it was still very different.
"Didn't you say that "Nature Physics" needs to be reviewed?"
He felt a little confused, "I remember that when I submitted my manuscript two years ago, I was told that it definitely needed peer review..."
Helen first saw the news about the paper. She was also very surprised, but also a little depressed, "My and Meng Meng's names were not on the news picture at all."
"Yes, we were originally a team."
"In the end, only Teacher Wang..."
The two female students looked at Wang Hao sadly.
Wang Hao could only laugh, "There's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, next time I submit an article, I'll emphasize it to them?"
"next time?"
"Where can there be a next time..."
"Maybe, but I'll have graduated by then."
"..."
The papers posted on the homepage of the official website of Nature magazine will definitely attract the attention of many scholars.
At the beginning, everyone only noticed that Wang Hao published the paper. Later, they discovered that the authors were Helen and Chen Mengmeng, and Wang Hao was the corresponding author.
The corresponding author is very important, sometimes even more important than the first author.
This is mainly because the corresponding author often means the project recipient, the research group leader or the mentor.
Wang Hao is the mentor of Helen and Chen Mengmeng, and he guided the students to complete the research together.
The author of the research is only one aspect, what is more important is the content of the paper.
In fact, in the academic field, 'strong annihilation force' is not attractive. It feels like it exceeds the speed of light and is just a conceptual issue.
What will happen if the speed of light exceeds the speed of light?
Probably many people are just curious, but not very interested, because human technology cannot achieve faster than the speed of light.
When conducting in-depth research on the content of the paper, many scholars discovered that something was wrong. The main topic of the paper was to demonstrate the effect of the strong annihilation force on the generation of particles.
First of all, it will cause reactions inside the atoms, increase the force inside the atoms, and cause "strange reactions" in electrons.
At the same time, it will also make the atomic structure more stable and the particle structure more stable. The direct impact is the weakening of the external behavior of matter.
After further understanding, we found that the content of the paper on strong annihilation force is directly related to the issue of dark matter.
Sporson, professor of physics at the University of Manchester, explained, "Strong annihilation force will weaken the particle behavior. To put it simply, it means that the external performance is weakened."
"For example, when illuminated by light, the absorbed light will also be weakened."
"Suppose there is a section that can absorb fifty percent of the light energy."
"If the material properties that make up the section are weakened, then the light energy absorption rate will not reach 50%, it may be 40%, 30%, etc."
"In other words, the particles, the outward appearance of matter and some of its physical properties are weakened."
"In astronomy, if some galaxies have a large number of strong annihilation force regions and the material properties there are weakened, the spectra they scatter will also be weakened."
"This will affect astronomical calculations of galaxy mass studies."
"Current astronomy uses various spectral analysis methods to measure the mass of galaxies. Of course, we cannot directly measure it, and the data obtained can only be combined pictures..."
Sporson finally concluded, "The weakening of particle properties under the action of strong annihilation force replaces the role of dark matter in astronomy."
…
Florida State University.
In a large classroom on the third floor of a teaching building, an open class on theoretical physics was being held.
Ridley-Parsons is the speaker of the open course, and what he talks about is "Constructing dark matter based on annihilation theory."
Now Parsons is an academic star at Florida State University. He has a large number of admirers, and many students like to attend his classes, not only because of Parsons' achievements, but also because of his interesting teaching style.
Parsons liked to hold public classes to promote his theories.
He is convinced of one thing.
For a theory that cannot be verified, when more people believe it, it will naturally become a true theory.
In fact, just like religion, it is uncertain whether gods exist, but as more people believe in them, gods will exist in people's hearts.
If the whole world believes that a certain god exists, and some people say that it does not exist, they will become heretics.
Parsons did not teach alone, he also had a friend to help him, and his friend was also a heavyweight.
Lin Wenji, director of the Antigravity Research Group at the National Physical Laboratory at Florida State University.
Lin Wenji and Parsons became good friends because their research complemented each other.
Lin Wenji hopes that Parsons can provide a theoretical basis to help research related to antigravity.
Now that Lin Wenji's antigravity team has made a new discovery, he also hopes that Parsons can participate in it to explain the new discovery with the annihilation theory.
"If we can complete this research, we may win the Nobel Prize." Lin Wenji said confidently.
Parsons was naturally very interested.
So he and Lin Wenji became good friends and invited Lin Wenji to open open classes together.
Half of this open class is Lin Wenji explaining the relationship between annihilation force and anti-gravity experiments, and the other half is Parsons promoting his theory, "Annihilation theory is an important physical foundation, and the existence of annihilation force can construct what we know
of all physical phenomena.”
"Of course it includes dark matter. My research believes that dark matter is the most important component in the universe and can even be understood as the basis for the existence of matter."
"Dark matter supports the existence of the Higgs particle..."
"Although humans have not discovered dark matter so far, I believe it is just a matter of means. We exist in a three-dimensional universe, and we need some special means to discover dark matter that is different from three-dimensional composition..."
"At the same time, we need to construct more theoretical foundations and continue to demonstrate..."
Parsons said enthusiastically.
After the course ended, a student told him, "The dark matter content on the front page of Nature magazine has been replaced by Wang Hao's research."
Parsons and Lin Wenji returned to the office together and immediately studied the content of "The Strong Annihilation Force".
They are all top physicists, so they can easily see the key.
"The particle form is weakening?"
"impossible!"
"How can strong annihilation power exist? It doesn't exist at all!"
"This is fiction!"
Parsons subconsciously denied it, because the effect of strong annihilation force on the weakening of particle forms was almost equivalent to directly denying his research.
Parsons said to Lin Wenji with certainty, "No one can prove the existence of strong annihilation force."
"This is just a theory, and mine is also a theory, but I believe that my research is more credible!"
Parsons was a little flustered for a moment, but he calmed down a lot after thinking about it carefully.
Because it cannot be proven.
Even if the 'strong annihilation force' theory appears, the theory is just a theory. As long as the strong annihilation force is not discovered, there is no way to prove that his research is wrong.
This is like 'beyond the speed of light'. We can only demonstrate what will happen, and who can prove it?
Everyone believes in the calculation results of the theory of relativity, so we have a definite answer.
What if you don't believe it?
It won't have any impact anyway.
So Parsons became calm, and he kept emphasizing to Lin Wenji that his own research was correct.
Lin Wenji's reaction was a bit strange. He just said a few words in a coping style, obviously a little absent-minded.
In fact, Lin Wenji thought of his new discovery.
His antigravity experimental group used triple superimposed force fields and found that after a metal object passed the edge of the superimposed force field, a weak magnetic field response appeared on the surface.
This discovery was probably so amazing that he would want Parsons to participate in the research and explain it based on the annihilation theory.
It seems no longer needed!
In the argument of "Strong Annihilation Force", the conclusion of 'electron strange reaction' is just related to the research. So, the edge of the superimposed force field is the strong annihilation force?
The theory is there and the experiments are there.
If this discovery is made public, it may be a Nobel Prize-level achievement!
Lin Wenji took a deep breath and thought about it. He decided not to be friends with Parsons anymore.
