Chapter 943: Price: We haven’t completely lost yet!
In Lecture Hall No. 1, the scene was in chaos.
The noisy discussion reached Price Carter's ears, as if everyone was laughing at him, at least that's how he felt.
But in fact, not many people in the entire venue laughed at him. Most of the scholars were discussing whether there were any solutions to the problems raised by Lin Feng, or exchanging the acceptance data of Kadra's dark matter and whether there were other things in the paper.
defects, etc.
After all, the detection of dark matter is crucial to the development of theoretical physics. Whoever comes out on top is destined to leave a mark in history.
Of course, there were also some impatient scholars who had already stood up from their seats and were preparing to leave the scene.
Judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that Professor Price Carter no longer has the ability to solve the problems raised by Lin Feng.
Instead of wasting time waiting here, why not go to the cafe outside the building to make a cup of coffee.
After all, whether it's worth waiting for at the report meeting depends on the person.
If it were Professor Xu or a certain Nobel Prize winner who was standing on the stage, they would still be willing to spend more time.
As some people began to leave, both the media reporters in the lecture hall and the media reporters outside the lecture hall were keenly aware that an "accident" was going to happen in today's report meeting.
This is considered 'good news' for them.
No matter what the situation is, they will not lose anyway.
If we could get some more news out of Professor Price Carter or the young scholar in the front row asking questions, we would make a fortune.
...
The report meeting ultimately ended in failure.
Standing in the audience, before Lin Feng could leave Lecture Hall No. 1, he was surrounded by media reporters in the hall and photographers pouring in from outside the hall.
Recording pens were almost inserted into his mouth one after another, and all kinds of questions came flooding in.
"Hello, Professor Lin, how did you see Professor Price Carter's acceptance report meeting today?"
"Hello, Professor Lin, is the acceptance report of Kadra Dark Matter a failure now? Is there room for improvement in Professor Price Carter's research results?"
"Excuse me, why didn't Professor Xu Chuan come to attend this acceptance report meeting?"
"Excuse me......"
Surrounded by numerous media reporters, Lin Feng had no choice but to answer a few questions selectively.
With this attitude, he wouldn't be able to leave without answering some questions. After all, he was on someone else's territory.
"Professor Carter is an outstanding scholar. At present, we are still unable to judge whether the acceptance report of Kadera's dark matter will fail. If he can successfully repair the calculation data and solve the problems I raised, perhaps Kadera's dark matter
Exploration was successful.”
"CRHPC is very busy with work, and Academician Xu cannot spare time to attend the acceptance report meeting at CERN."
"The verification of the unified theory of strong electricity has entered the final stage. This is no less than the result of dark matter exploration. I believe that the acceptance report there will be a complete success."
"..."
In the lecture hall, Lin Feng selected a few questions and answered them in a satisfactory manner, and at the end, he also attracted a wave of traffic to the unified theory of strong power and the CRHPC organization.
As for whether the detection of Kadra's dark matter was successful, it only gave an ambiguous answer.
After all, there is still hope that Professor Price Carter and the Harvard and Munich universities behind him can 'fix' the flaws, but the probability is very low.
Moreover, for academic circles, they are generally more inclusive of researchers and scholars in cutting-edge fields.
To put it simply, the academic community has never required that academic achievements such as the exploration of dark matter, a world-leading theory, be successful at the first try.
Whether it is mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology or other sciences, people always have enough patience for top problems.
As long as it does not involve data falsification or paper falsification, even if the problem is pointed out at the report meeting or acceptance report meeting, generally speaking, the academic community will not immediately sentence his paper to death and declare it a failure.
For academics, nothing is 'really' correct. It can be said that the correctness of almost all theories has a time limit or a certain direction.
On the other hand, no one can be sure whether the shortcomings of this problem are truly unsolvable.
Many times, a problem that you think may be unsolvable may be solved by walking in the other direction.
Just like when Professor Andrew Wiles was trapped by a 'small problem' during a lecture for eight months.
At the beginning, the mathematical community expected Professor Wiles to soon fill in the loopholes in Fermat's Last Theorem.
But as time went by, no one had this idea anymore.
A few months later, almost the entire mathematical community at that time gave Wiles' proof a death sentence.
But what people didn't expect was that Professor Wiles finally solved the shortcomings.
Of course, although the academic community is quite tolerant of this type of research, for Professor Price Carter himself, he suffered a direct failure at the acceptance report meeting, which was simply difficult for him to accept.
Especially since the question-and-answer session has just begun, this is still the first question, and it already makes him unable to answer, and it pierces deeply into his heart like a thorn. Every time he thinks about it, there is a sharp pain.
.
"Shet!"
In the office, Price Carter's face turned red when he once again recalled that he was standing on the reporting platform and receiving the strange and mocking looks of thousands of people.
He angrily threw the experimental data and papers in his hands onto the coffee table, knocking over the porcelain cup on the coffee table, causing a splash of water.
The question-and-answer session had just begun, and he suffered such a fiasco. In his opinion, this was more like a targeted humiliation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, if the other party really has a problem, he can put it to the end instead of being the first to jump out, causing him to lose face in front of thousands of people.
Of course, he also forgot that the initiative in the question-and-answer session was in his own hands.
It's him who can't wait to conquer the opponent and become famous in one battle.
But at this moment, he was so angry that he didn't think so much at all. The expression on his face was uncertain, and a few curses came out of his mouth from time to time.
Seeing the furious Professor Price Carter, the office assistants and students remained silent, no one dared to make a sound.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open.
Professor Bertie McDowell, Chairman of the CERN Institutional Council, walked in.
Looking at the angry Price Carter, the expression on Chairman Bertie McDowell's face was not much better.
Not only did this physics professor from Harvard University stumble into a big hole in the exploration of dark matter, but also the CERN organization, including him, the chairman of CERN, also lost face around the world.
But at this moment he still had to calm down and help Price Carter get out of trouble.
Taking a deep breath, Bertie McDowell said: "Listen, Price, this is not the time to be angry or frustrated! I need you to cheer up and solve the problems raised by that person!"
"It's nothing to lose someone once at the acceptance report meeting, as long as the free flow scale of dark matter or the corresponding mass can be solved to the movement distance of t=teq through the decoupling of neutrinos, Kadra's dark matter
The detection results are still valid, and your paper is still valid."
After hearing these words, Price Carter's face became much better with the helplessness and anger on his face.
But soon, he lowered his voice again and said hoarsely: "I can't find a way to solve this problem. If I could, I would have done it a long time ago."
From the end of the acceptance report meeting to now, although he is angry, he is also thinking about whether there is a way to improve this problem.
But what made him powerless was that he had tried all he had learned throughout his life and could not find any way to solve this problem.
For dark matter, density perturbations on scales smaller than λfs will be smoothed out and attenuated by the diffusion of particles, which is simply fatal.
Seeing Price Carter's depressed look, Bertie McDowell took a deep breath and said, "If one calculation method doesn't work, use another method!"
"As long as there are no problems with our experimental data, at most there are some problems in computational mathematics. As long as we optimize this problem and solve it, the honor will still be ours."
"But if we fail to detect dark matter, it will not only be you and me who will be unlucky and embarrassed, but also the entire CERN."
"If CERN collapses, will China's CRHPC agency still choose to take you in?"
"They already have enough experimental resources and allies on their own."
He originally thought that the results of Kadra's dark matter exploration would help him secure the position of chairman of the CERN Council, but he did not expect that it would also be a big hole.
Especially when I saw Price Carter's depressed look, I became even more angry.
At the beginning, he swore to him that there would be no problems with the detection results of Kadra's dark matter.
As a result, something happened now, and it was his turn to help wipe the butt.
After listening to Chairman Bertie McDowell's words, Price Carter's depressed mood eased a lot. He raised his head, pinched the bridge of his nose, cleared his throat and spoke.
"What you said makes sense, we haven't completely lost yet!"
"All observational and experimental data are real, we just have some problems in calculation..."
"I will contact the team at the University of Munich to reorganize the experimental data of Kadra's dark matter particles!"
"As long as there is no problem with the experimental data, I believe that even Professor Xu cannot deny our collision experiment!"
...
At the same time, far away on the other side of Eurasia.
Star City, Taohualing CRHPC headquarters building.
Edward Witten and Pierre Deligne were sitting in Xuchuan's office, drinking coffee and tea, admiring the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
"Speaking of which, what do you think the experimental data detected by CERN is?"
After taking a sip of the coffee in the ceramic cup, Witten withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at Xu Chuan and asked curiously.
Just now in the lecture hall of the Central Palace, the two people almost rejected the Kadra dark matter reported by Professor Price Carter, thinking that it might not be a dark matter particle, but some other discovery.
After all, whether it is from the collision experimental data or calculation data, as well as the Daritz diagram drawn, the possibility that the results produced by Harvard University and the University of Munich are dark matter is really small.
Hearing this question, Xu Chuan thought for a while and then said: "I'm not sure if it is, after all, I can't see the real original data belonging to it at the moment."
"However, judging from the experimental data, acceptance report documents, papers and other information currently displayed by the CERN institution and Professor Price Carter... I am more inclined to think that this may be a neutrino collision experiment at a high energy level.
There are some phenomena that have not been explored before.”
"How to say?"
Hearing this, Witten looked over with interest, with curiosity on his face.
Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "When I was studying controllable nuclear fusion technology, I once went to the Daya Bay Experimental Base, where I saw some abnormal data related to neutrinos."
"For example, when muon neutrinos pass through some types of mineral oil or materials, their beam intensity is higher than predicted by the reactor neutrino model."
"Especially after taking the neutrino reaction cross section into account, the predicted number of detectable reactor neutrino events increases by 6% to 7%."
"This data is very similar to the oscillation conversion data of neutrinos and sterile neutrinos in the experimental data published by Professor Price Carter this time."
Witten thought for a moment and said, "Can I see the data you mentioned?"
After saying that, he realized that this request might be a bit presumptuous, and quickly added: "Of course, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient."
After all, it was something related to controllable nuclear fusion technology, and he didn't want to embarrass this student.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "This is not confidential data. It has been made public by the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant and can be found in academic journals."
After thinking for a while, he added: "If I remember correctly, the first author of the paper should be Professor Du Xingsheng."
The reason why I remember this paper relatively clearly is that the anomaly of reactor neutrinos is quite prominent and has never been encountered before.
On the other hand, when he was developing the 'neutrino communication' technology project for Xinghai Research Institute later, he pulled out this paper again.
In his view, it may be far more difficult than imagined to implement neutrino communication technology into the ordinary neutrino category.
Perhaps these abnormal neutrino experimental data can point the way to neutrino communication technology.
If possible, he would like to get the raw data from the collision detection experiment of Harvard University and the University of Munich from CERN to study it.
However, judging from the current life-and-death situation between CRHPC and CERN, the difficulty may not be as high as usual.
