Chapter 669 The paper is published! (Continue to be published every day!)
A native Chinese in China?
Hearing these words coming out of Guzmit's mouth.
Gell-Man's head couldn't help but subconsciously stretched forward, making a funny move similar to a turtle's head.
But soon.
The young theoretical physics master came back to his senses.
I saw him rubbing his big nose vigorously, looking at the paper in his hand again, and a guess suddenly appeared in his mind:
"Mr. Guzmit, could it be...that it was Professor Zhao and his colleagues' achievements?"
When the words "Professor Zhao" were spoken.
A very obvious movement appeared on Gelman's face.
Mentioned earlier.
When Gell-Mann was at Yale University, he took classes under Zhao Zhongyao for a period of time.
If it weren't for Zhao Zhongyao later choosing to return to China, they would probably have become a pair of masters and apprentices talked about by future generations.
This was also a great regret in Gell-Mann's life.
However, despite not having a master-disciple relationship, Gell-Mann still maintained his long-term respect for Zhao Zhongyao.
For example, whether in interviews, autobiographies or letters, he would always refer to Zhao Zhongyao as "professor" whenever he mentioned him.
After hearing Gelman's question, Guzmit nodded slightly:
"Yes, the first signature on the paper is none other than Zhao, and there are also several Chinese scientists such as Hsien Teng, K.C. WANG, etc."
Gelman nodded thoughtfully.
Hsien Teng and K.C. WANG, naturally refer to Lu Guangda and Wang Ganchang.
At that time, these two names were extremely dazzling in the European and American scientific circles. They blinded the eyes of many people and were synonymous with genius.
Although Gell-Mann did not have much interaction with them personally, he had heard of their names.
But soon Gell-Man sat up straighter again, with a look of confusion in his eyes again:
"That's not right... There is no doubt about the abilities of Mr. Guzmit, Professor Zhao and Hsien Teng, but..."
"Where did they get the accelerator equipment? - According to the experimental data, the experimental accelerators they used are at least above 30MeV, right?"
Guzmit did not speak, but simply smiled.
as expected.
Gell-Mann also noticed problems with the experimental equipment.
No, to be precise, once the paper is released, almost every scholar who sees the content of the paper will notice this anomaly...
But compared with Guzmit earlier, Gell-Mann at this time had already seen the details of the paper, that is, the experimental images.
Therefore, his words were more of a surprise than a question.
Then Gelman thought of something else and asked Guzmit:
"Mr. Guzmit, from which source did you get this paper?"
Guzmit looked at John aside and said to him:
"Mr. John, it's up to you to introduce this part of the situation - I haven't learned the specific process yet."
Mr. John nodded when he heard this and subconsciously held up an orchid finger:
"About five days...oh no, six days ago, the MIT Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology received a package from China."
"This package was sent from Xiangjiang, via Neon, Maple Leaf Country, and then to MIT."
"The email was addressed to Mr. Zhao. When I opened it, I saw these papers and a letter, as well as dried rats, a specialty of China's Fujian Province."
"In addition to saying hello in the letter, Mr. Zhao also expressed his hope to submit this paper to "Physical Review Letters". Because I am the external review editor of "Physical Review Letters", I sent it to the MIT laboratory..."
Upon hearing this, Guzmit quickly glanced at Qu Rumpu, who was talking eloquently, and showed an expression that he was hesitant to speak.
But in the end he remained silent.
Mr. John's introduction seems to be ordinary and has no flaws, but there are still several pitfalls hidden in it.
For example, how did a package from China pass multiple checks and be sent to MIT?
To know.
At this time, China's domestic review of foreign countries is very strict, and foreign countries...especially overseas countries are also very strict on China's review.
If it is a package sent through normal channels, the content related to the particle model is still recorded...
So now it's not a question of how many times the package was turned over before it was received, but it's simply impossible for John to see this thing...
For another example, if it is really a regular delivery in China, the paper should be sent to the headquarters of "Physical Review Letters".
After all, both Crump and Gelman are external review editors of Physical Review Letters, and Guzmit is the editor-in-chief.
From the emergence of the paper to the present, the review process has always been to send it to the journal headquarters first, and then the journal selects external reviewers for review.
At most, the author of the paper has a good relationship with a certain external review editor, and both parties have privately agreed in advance that that editor will be responsible for review.
In this case, journals and magazines will usually turn a blind eye to this - but even so, the paper cannot reach the hands of external review editors first.
So Guzmit is sure.
The little bald old man in front of me who likes to pinch orchid fingers must have some special contacts with China.
However, Guzmit and John have known each other for many years, so naturally they will not speak out about this issue at this time.
Then wait until John has finished speaking.
The three people present fell into silence.
Crash--
Gell-Mann slowly turned the pages of the paper in front of him, the expression on his face kept changing, and he repeatedly reviewed the contents.
after awhile.
Gelman's eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise:
"Well.....?"
Guzmit blinked when he saw this and asked quickly:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Murray, have you discovered anything new?"
Gelman hesitated for a few seconds, and finally shook his head:
"Sorry, Mr. Guzmit, I just read a certain data wrong..."
Guzmit didn't pay much attention to this. At this moment, his mind was completely focused on another issue:
"In that case, gentlemen, what do you think of this paper?"
Perhaps he was worried that John and Gell-Mann would not understand what he meant.
Guzmit paused for a few seconds and then explained:
"Well...I'm referring to some issues regarding publication."
See the journal.
Hear these two words.
Whether it was Gell-Mann or Qurump, the expressions on their faces immediately became a little serious.
As we all know.
In terms of time period.
The international papers of Chinese scientists can actually be divided into two stages. The node that distinguishes the two periods is before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Between 1920-1949.
In fact, many international students from China have published papers in top journals.
For example, Zhao Zhongyao’s positron results were directly published in Nature.
There is also Mr. Tan Jiazhen, who published results in "The American Naturalist" in 1930 and Professor Li Ruqi in 1934.
This article was published in the journal Vol. 68, No. 716, pp. 252-265.
The author of this article is signed by the Department of Biology, YenChing University, Peiping, China.
The title is [Inheritance of the Elytral Color Patterns of the Lady-Bird Beetle, Harmonia axyridis Pallas], which roughly translates to the inheritance of the elytral spots of Lady-Bird Beetle.
Although the impact factor of "The American Naturalist" hovers around 4 points all year round, it is still very authoritative in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology.
but......
In the second stage from 1949 to the present, it has been more difficult for papers written by Chinese scientists to be published internationally—Chinese scientists here specifically refer to local papers.
Of course there is a reason why the rabbits themselves do not communicate much with the outside world, but more of it is due to the academic blockade caused by the political situation.
So the difficulty here not only refers to the process, but also includes some political implications.
Take "Physical Review Letters" as an example.
Since its inception three years ago.
"Physical Review Letters", let alone publishing Chinese journals, has not received even one submission from Chinese mainland.
At an academic gathering half a year ago, Guzmit happened to meet the editors-in-chief of several other journals.
At that time, Li Zhengdao, who was staying across the sea, happened to publish a paper related to field theory, which was highly discussed.
So everyone chatted, and the topic came to Zhao Zhongyao and Qian Wushi, who were also famous Chinese people.
Then we chatted and chatted.
The topic turned to the situation of those Chinese students after returning to China...or their academic achievements.
Even at this moment.
Guzmit still clearly remembers the scene where all the editors put their hands together when a colleague asked "Have you received any submissions from China?"
Of course.
Although there are relatively few papers from China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they are not all at all.
For example, in 1951.
Hua Luogeng, who had returned to China at that time, published a paper titled "On Exponential Sums Over An Algebraic Number Field" in the Canadian Journal of Mathematics.
This is also the first SCI paper after the founding of the People's Republic of China that has well-documented evidence. The concept of SCI had not yet come out at that time, but the "Canadian Journal of Mathematics" was included in the SCI database as soon as SCI was established.
Another example is 1954.
A woman named Mamie Kwoh Wang published a paper [A Textbook for Free China] in "AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NURSING".
It’s not hard to tell from the title.
This paper has a certain political overtone - not the kind that discredits China.
Unfortunately.
Due to serious missing address problems in early document records in the three core WoS databases SCIE/SSCI/A&HCI, many papers before 1972 cannot find their institutional affiliations.
Therefore, the specific identity of Mamie Kwoh Wang has always been controversial.
Some accounts indicate that this person is Ms. Wang Shanlin from Union Medical College Hospital. She received a bachelor's degree from Yenching University and a master's degree from overseas. She was working at Union Medical College Hospital when she published her thesis.
Others believe that this is Dr. Wang Kui from the Second Hospital of Modu (then called Modu Hospital), and there is also relatively detailed evidence.
I'm afraid only the author of the paper knows which of the above statements is correct. After all, there is basically no possibility of repairing the database in the short term...
His eyes returned to reality.
all in all.
Although the academic blockade is relatively strict at this time, you may not see one or two Chinese papers throughout the year.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But from a policy perspective, Haidian has not completely restricted the release of Huaxia papers.
Otherwise Guzmit would not need to discuss the need to publish a paper.
After a while.
Mr. John used his ring finger to brush his thinning hair and took the initiative to make a statement:
"Mr. Guzmit, I think this paper can be published."
Guzmit turned to look at John, pretending to be listening.
John quickly raised a finger and explained:
"First of all, currently there is no order from any government unit in the federation to ban the publication of papers from China. This is a rule of thumb."
"That is to say, no matter how big a stir the paper causes, its impact will only be limited within the rules."
"The worst result is that this paper will be deleted from subsequent journals, and then we will be sprayed with blood by Mr. Miller of APS."
When Guzmit heard the last sentence, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
But in the end I managed to hold back my laughter.
The APS John mentioned is the American Physical Society, which is the American Physical Society.
From a relationship perspective.
The journal "Physical Review Letters", which Guzmit serves as editor-in-chief, is considered a subsidiary publication of APS.
The APS institution has 100% ownership and a high proportion of control over "Physical Review Letters".
Also, by the way.
The Physical Review Series...that is, Physics Review and Review of Modern Physics, are also journals under APS.
The Miller in John's words is the first-class executive officer of APS, a fat white man with a grumpy personality.
Miller has a nickname called Watering Can. Just by hearing this name, you can tell how much saliva will splash when he sprays people...
Then under the watchful eyes of Guzmit.
John raised a second finger and continued:
"Mr. Guzmit, the first point I want to make is the price we may pay... In a sense, it can be understood as a risk."
"Since there are risks, the next thing we have to analyze is naturally the possible returns of the paper."
Immediately afterwards.
John suddenly waved his hands vigorously in the air, and he could vaguely see the shadow of someone from later generations:
"Mr. Guzmit, I can assure you."
"Once this paper is released, Europe and the United States... no, the global physics community will be shocked!"
"After all, the particle model mentioned in the paper needs further verification, but at least in my personal opinion, the accuracy of this particle model should be very high."
"Those Chinese scientists may use this to ascend to the altar, and "Physical Review Letters" will be its journal..."
Speaking of which.
John suddenly locked his eyes tightly on Guzmit and said word by word:
""Physical Review Letters" will also be permanently recorded in the history of science together with this paper."
"By then, relying on this popularity, Physical Review Letters may even have a chance... to become the new king of physics!"
"More importantly...Mr. Guzmit, I wonder if you have noticed that this model...it supports particle spin."
Hear the words particle spin.
Guzmit's eyebrows suddenly twitched fiercely.
Mentioned earlier.
Even though Guzmit is now over sixty years old, the passage of time has already turned his originally dark and thick hair into thinning and gray. In the eyes of everyone, he has become a "respectable elder".
But in fact.
Guzmit is actually a standard young genius. He almost discovered one of the most critical particle properties in the history of particle physics:
The spin of the particle.
As we all know.
In 1896.
Zeeman discovered that when an atom is placed in a magnetic field, some of its spectral lines will split from one to three.
This is called the (normal) Zeeman effect.
However, in early 1897.
Preston discovered that the number of splits of atomic spectral lines in a magnetic field could be more than three, so he called this the anomalous Zeeman effect.
The normal Zeeman effect can be explained by the energy level splitting of Bohr atoms in the magnetic field, but this will deduce that the number of spectral line splitting can only be three, and cannot be other numbers.
In this way, the anomalous Zeeman effect becomes difficult to understand.
Then in 1922.
The Stern-Gerlach experiment verified the quantization of atomic angular momentum, but this is only one of the important conclusions of this experiment.
Another important result is that even fission results inconsistent with Bohr's theory appeared in the experiment - which hints at the existence of half-integer quantum numbers.
In order to explain the anomalous Zeeman effect and the difficulties in the Stern-Gerlach experiment, 25-year-old Guzmit and Uhlenbeck proposed the concept of particle spin.
The concept initially met with a lot of criticism and criticism.
But after being successfully verified by project teams one after another, it quickly became an important parameter in particle physics.
At that time, Guzmit and Uhlenbeck were transformed from heretics into the future light of physics within four months.
Their teacher was called Ehrenfest, and Ehrenfest was a student of Boltzmann.
So at that time, almost everyone in Boltzmann's department was partying, shouting that it was our duty to recast Boltzmann's glory.
but.....
What no one expected was.
Now, almost 40 years have passed, and particle spin still has not won a Nobel Prize.
The reason why this result did not win the award is simple:
There is no deeper phenomenon or data in the physics community to prove its value worthy of a Nobel Prize.
That's right.
After spin was proven, its theory stagnated for almost forty years...
Later, Guzmit joined the Manhattan Project team and traveled around after the war.
Nowadays, if they are not close acquaintances, not many people remember that this little old man was also a young emperor back then.
more importantly.....
Different from the open-mindedness of his friend Uhlenbeck.
Guzmit has always regarded it as a regret that he did not win the Nobel Prize.
After all, this award is still different from the X Chicken Award. After all, it still represents the highest academic peak.
Guzmit even wrote a very pessimistic sentence a few years later:
[Because of the lack of that honor (Nobel Prize), I will die in peace].
And now with the emergence of this paper...or rather with John's reminder.
Guzmit suddenly realized something:
This model called metahadrons actually explains the parity part of the particle spin!
That is to say, the value of intrinsic angular momentum will directly affect the partial state of certain particles, which is the degeneracy pressure mentioned in the paper!
With the support of such a model, the importance of particle spin will instantly increase a lot.
True.
Once this paper is proven to be true, the Nobel Prize that year will definitely be awarded to the publisher of the paper.
But on the other hand.
Guzmit had no intention of competing for the order of the award. All he cared about was the Nobel Prize itself.
Whether it's three years from now, five years from now, or ten years from now.
As long as he can win the Nobel Prize while he is alive, he will be satisfied.
Besides...
This kind of example of a theory put forward by predecessors that was not taken seriously, but was indirectly proved important by some research by later generations and eventually won the prize, is not unheard of in the history of the Nobel Prize.
Take, for example, Walter Bott's award-winning conformity method.
The coincidence method was first invented in 1924. It is one of the earliest AND logic gate circuits.
But it was not until Edward Mills Purcell and Felix Broch won the Nobel Prize in 1952 for their discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance that Walter Bott received the highest honor two years later.
no way.
That's how physics is.
Many achievements are indeed not worthy of the Nobel Prize before their value is discovered, and this situation will definitely still exist even in 2023.
Not to mention that this paper can also bring a lot of attention to "Physical Review Letters", which is also a great help to Guzmit.
after all.....
"Physical Review Letters" has just been published for two and a half years, and the number of manuscripts submitted now is actually limited.
If not.
The entire journal does not have just three external review editors.
Although APS has no plans to withdraw the publication for the time being, it will be difficult to say if this continues.
"Physical Review Letters" is Guzmit's brainchild. In order to keep this journal in circulation, he even borne a lot of expenses himself.
Guzmit does not expect "Physical Review Letters" to become a CNS-level publication, but it must at least be able to develop its own ecosystem, right?
And if there is such a journal now...
Then something big can happen!
This logic is just like how a certain hit book in later generations can attract many authors. The two words "hot" are core words in any industry at any time - at least one of the core words.
Figured this out.
Guzmit's eyes lit up instantly.
However, the editor-in-chief still retained some sense and did not make an immediate decision.
He turned to look at Gell-Mann aside, and asked the future boss:
"Murray, what do you think?"
"My thoughts..."
Gelman thought carefully for a few seconds and finally nodded:
"Mr. Guzmit, I agree with Mr. John's idea - we can publish this paper!"
Gellman's reason for supporting the release of the paper was the same as John's. To put it bluntly, the rewards far outweighed the risks.
But other than that.
Gell-Mann also has a little more thought:
This is a paper written by a team led by Professor Zhao Zhongyao.
Although he still cannot understand Zhao Zhongyao's choice to give up the generous treatment across the sea and return to China, his feelings for Zhao Zhongyao have not changed much.
At least in Gelman's heart, he has always regarded Zhao Zhongyao as his mentor.
Therefore, he was naturally willing to take part in something that could add some luster to Zhao Zhongyao's resume.
If Xu Yun was present at this time and could see through Gelman's thoughts, he would probably sigh at this pair of masters and disciples who were not masters and disciples.
have to say.
Gell-Mann is indeed a very emotional boss in interpersonal relationships, which is in sharp contrast to his academic rationality.
For example, something mentioned earlier:
Zhao Zhongyao passed away in 1998, and Gell-Mann did not know the news at the first time.
But the year after Zhao Zhongyao's death, Gell-Mann flew to China to pay homage to the old man in May without any academic or business invitations.
Another example is the preparation of the Santa Fe Institute, which Gelman later participated in.
The Santa Fe Institute was planned to be established in the mid-1980s. At that time, Gell-Mann had already become famous and was firmly ranked among the top three in the world of physics.
The main reason why he stepped forward to establish the Santa Fe Research Institute was that he had made an agreement with his friend Wesson thirty years ago to establish a scientific research institution in Wesson's hometown of Santa Fe if there was an opportunity.
When Wesson died in a car accident in 1971, Gelman kept this agreement in mind and finally made it a reality.
Therefore, many people commented that although Gelman was a Jew, he could hardly see the shrewdness of the Jews - he was too emotional.
all in all.
Seeing that Gelman also expressed his approval for publishing the paper, Guzmit made a final decision in his mind.
He pondered for half a minute, then took a deep breath and said:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In that case...gentlemen, let's publish this paper."
Then he looked at Mr. John and said:
"John, this paper was specially sent to you, so you will still be the external reviewer and editor. What do you think?"
Mr. John suddenly looked happy:
"no problem!"
The reason why John took the risk to accept this paper this time was, firstly, because the knife music given by the rabbits was indeed sincere, and secondly, because this paper could bring him a lot of reputation.
Although it is impossible to win the Nobel Prize with this external reviewer's signature.
But it still helps a lot in the selection of his professional title - recently, John is working hard to select academicians of the Academy of Engineering across the sea.
John himself has contacted many people for this, but his current certainty is only about 80%.
But if there is a signature from the external review editor...
Then he is confident that this certainty will be improved to 95%!
Not to mention that the New Year is approaching, and other organizations, large and small, have also entered the selection period for directors, directors, and the like.
If given the chance, John would still be willing to try some of these positions.
What?
You ask John why he didn't keep the paper secret himself?
joke.....
The Chinese are not fools. The paper they gave concealed a lot of key data. Now, what John has obtained is at most half of the paper.
If John dares to take it as his own, Zhao Zhongyao and the others will be able to publish more detailed contents through the Bear Man in minutes.
The reason why China did not directly follow Mao Xiong’s path was mainly because of the issue of influence – compared with Mao Xiong’s top publications, there is indeed a certain gap between them.
But the gap is a gap, and there is no problem with Mao Xiong Journal as a back-up tool.
Not to mention that in addition to academic papers, Comrade John Crump...wrong, Mr. John also has various off-market transactions with China.
If the "friendship" between the two parties is affected because of the thesis, then obviously the gain outweighs the loss.
His eyes returned to reality.
Based on many of the above reasons.
After Guzmit opened his mouth.
John immediately accepted the task of external review editor.
Then Guzmit looked at Gell-Mann again, considered for a moment, and said:
"As for Murray...how about this? How about you take some time to write a review and then attach it to this paper and publish it?"
After Gell-Mann missed Zhao Zhongyao, his teacher was Henry Magnolia. Mageno was a disciple of Fermi and a disciple of Born.
Born, on the other hand, was David Hilbert's apprentice.
That's right.
It’s the Hilbert of Hilbert space.
So it is calculated based on seniority.
Gell-Mann can be regarded as the disciple of Fermi, the great-disciple of Born, and the great-grandson of Hilbert—a Jew has inherited the academic mantle of the Germans, which is actually quite gratifying.
That's why Gell-Mann later entered the Fermi Institute and served as a lecturer.
Guzmit belonged to the Boltzmann family. Boltzmann had a good relationship with Hilbert. At the same time, Guzmit himself also had a deep friendship with Fermi - both of them participated.
Through the Manhattan Project.
Therefore, in the scientific research social circle across the sea, where admission to prestigious schools does not depend on grades but letters of recommendation, Guzmit and Gelman are considered standard members of their own group.
If not.
Guzmit could not have recruited Gell-Mann to serve as an external review editor when "Physical Review Letters" was first established.
So faced with such a paper that is destined to be a big hit.
Guzmit took great care and handed over the review to Gell-Mann to complete, which can be regarded as a complete favor.
If Gelman becomes famous in the future, he will definitely return this favor to Guzmit's disciples and grandchildren.
After assigning tasks.
John looked at the paper in his hand again and asked Guzmit:
"Mr. Guzmit, when do you plan to publish this paper?"
"See the magazine..."
Guzmit thought for a moment and said:
"Let's schedule it for next week. We will publish a special issue then!"
Students who know PRL should know this.
The Chinese name of the journal "Physical Review Letters" is "Physical Review Letters".
It is not difficult to see from the word "Express" that the review and publication and update cycles of this kind of journal are relatively fast.
Different from ordinary bimonthly magazines.
"Physical Review Letters" is a faster weekly, with an issue updated every Wednesday across the sea.
So for magazines.
It is not difficult to print a paper based on the content of the original journal.
However, in this case, Guzmit chose to publish another special issue.
First of all, the paper written by Rabbits is very long, and with various images, it takes up dozens of pages.
These pages will almost double after being printed to journal specifications, and the thickness is actually almost the same as that of ordinary journals.
Secondly, it is very reasonable for a paper of this nature to publish a special issue. The sense of ritual is still different from Oriental romance. Many Europeans and Americans also pay attention to this tone.
all in all.
The whole thing has come to this point.
Most of what needs to be discussed about the magazine has already been discussed.
Seeing Guzmit's expression as if he had something to do, John and Gelman took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye, leaving the editor-in-chief's office at the same time.
"Mr. Murray."
As a result, just after Gelman walked away, John's voice sounded from behind him:
"Mr. Murray, please wait a moment!"
When Gelman saw this, he stopped:
"Mr. John, what's the matter?"
John walked quickly from behind Gelman, looked around a few times, made sure there was no one around, and said:
"Mr. Murray, did you have anything to say just now? - before Mr. Guzmit asked our opinion."
Gelman was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
John raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a hint of curiosity appeared on his face:
"what have you found?"
Before, after John introduced the origin of the email, Gelman once let out a light ooh.
Both John and Guzmit noticed this abnormality of Gell-Mann, but in the end Gell-Mann dismissed it with the excuse that he had made a mistake.
At that time, Guzmit’s attention was all on his paper, so he didn’t pay too much attention to this matter.
But John on the side observed that Gelman's expression was a little strange, and it was obviously not just a mistake.
But since Gelman did not choose to make it public, John had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and wait until the meeting was over before speaking.
Faced with John's inquiry.
Gelman did not give a direct answer, but turned to look at the bald old man:
"Mr. John, can I first ask...about your relationship with those Chinese authors?"
"relation?"
John was stunned for a few seconds, and then said calmly:
"I have a very close relationship with Zhao. Many people know about his work in the MIT laboratory back then. I even gave him some things before he returned to their country."
"It's hard to say for other Chinese people, but with Zhao... he and I should be considered friends."
When John spoke, there was also a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Their family is famous for their business acumen, and many of their family members have a performative personality, and John Crump is no exception.
But he rarely put a lot of true feelings into his personal relationship with Zhao Zhongyao. He really helped Zhao Zhongyao a lot back then, so much so that Zhao Zhongyao even specifically mentioned him in his memoirs.
It’s hard to say whether they count as close friends, but using mutual appreciation to describe their friendship is still very objective.
Gelman then asked:
"What about the others?"
"Others..."
Mentioning Chinese people other than Zhao Zhongyao, John's face showed a little embarrassment:
"The friendship with other people is not that deep. It's mainly due to some trivial exchanges in trade."
John and Gell-Mann had been friends for many years, so they didn't deliberately hide this aspect.
Gelman's eyes flashed with a look that was indeed the case:
"I see. I wonder why those Chinese people sent their papers to you."
Seeing this, John looked around again and waved to Gelman:
"Okay, Murray, I've told you everything you want to know, so what you just discovered..."
Hearing this, Gelman made a calming gesture towards him.
Then he took out the paper from his armpit and shook it gently towards John:
"Mr. John, if I guess correctly..."
"The tandem accelerator used by the Chinese for the collision test this time should be..."
"The one that CERN burned down a few months ago."
