Chapter 542: A paper has caught a big player in the physics world?
Three days later, Arizona, North America.
Just three days ago, a phone call from someone from the journal Nature and a faxed article disrupted Ollen Drake's research. For the next two days and two nights, Ollen has been studying "Quiet".
The paper “Stagnation Quantum”.
What troubled him was that the theory involved involved several branches of science that he was not good at, such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD) theory, which also involved group theory.
It's really mind-boggling.
Today he invited a good friend to help, Karen Eisenberg, a theoretical physicist, applied physicist and experimental physicist from Johns Hopkins University, and a tenured professor at Hopkins University.
One of the great figures in contemporary physics.
At this moment, in Olendrake's office, he and Karen were standing in front of several large blackboards. It is true that the office also has holographic PHC equipment, but both old men prefer old-fashioned tools such as traditional blackboards.
Olendrake stood aside and said: "The content of the paper is incomplete, but I have not found any obvious problems with the core of the article, the stasis field theory. I believe that the published content is correct, regardless of whether it is necessary
Both superconducting materials and fields require a low-temperature environment..."
"That's the problem!" Karen Eisenberg was holding a printed copy of the paper "Station Quantum" in his hand. Hearing Olendrake's words, he stared at the person in front of him.
He said very tangledly on the blackboard filled with formulas:
"The problem is... it's very simple. I don't see other massless particles in the BCS model of superconductivity. There are also fields. Fields are particles, particles are fields, and fields also have spin."
At this moment, Karen Eisenberg was like a grumpy old man, excited, roaring and complaining: "One more thing, Higgs' field mechanism has been solved. So spontaneous symmetry breaking is also impossible.
There will always be massless particles, because when the electric field fluctuates, it wants to radiate photons, and then it suddenly tells me inexplicably that a field will jump out and give the photons mass, what is this?"
Turning around and staring at Oren, who spread his hands and smiled bitterly, Karen immediately turned to stare at the blackboard and continued: "The photon here is just about to come out, so there is a damn scalar field? Oh, God, this is going to give
My mass? The process that occurs in superconductivity, as long as photons exist in this process and cannot come out or become massive, another boson with a mass of 0 will still be produced, which is a new particle. But this is definitely not Hig
Sri Lankan particles.”
Karen is really going crazy now. An old friend called to ask for help, saying that there was a problem related to particle physics and quantum mechanics. He originally planned to come here to pretend to be Bobby in front of his old friend, but now he realized that he had jumped.
Entered a giant pit.
In fact, both of them have read Ye Hua's paper.
The emergence of new particles is something that physicists are very excited about but at the same time very maddening. It often makes people torture themselves to death, loving it and hating it at the same time.
Because if it cannot be put into an existing theory, it means that either there is a problem with the theory, or a new theory must be given to describe it.
It is worth mentioning that quantum and particles are two different concepts. If a physical quantity has the smallest unit and cannot be continuously divided, it means that the physical quantity is quantized, and the smallest unit is called a quantum.
Particles refer to the smallest component of matter that can exist in a free state.
As for the "stasis quantum" named by Ye Hua in the article, it doesn't matter how it is named.
Karen Eisenberg reopened the manuscript in his hand and said to himself: "The interaction between light and matter can be described by exchanging virtual photons. Obviously, the 'stasis field theory' in the article is consistent with quantum
electrodynamics qed theory because it can be renormalized..."
Renormalization is one of the verification criteria for whether any field theory is correct. Similarly, whether the stagnation field theory is correct or not depends first on whether it can be renormalized.
"God, why are you bastard telling me this to torture me?" At this moment, Karen Eisenberg was racking his brains to think, trying to deduce the follow-up but still had no clue. He was extremely sure, just
The final step is to open up the sea and the sky, a new and beautiful scenery that has never been seen before.
This paper seemed to be published in the field of cryogenic medicine or biotechnology, but in fact Karen Eisenberg knew that its greater significance was reflected in the world of physics.
The worst thing was the last kick, but it was this last kick that blocked Karen. It shows how crazy he is now.
I really hate Ye Hua's rhythm to death. At this moment, Karen Eisenberg was strongly condemning the writer of the paper in his heart. The damn guy posted half of the article and broke the text at the critical moment, which made people die.
"No, I'm going to die. I want to go to China, to Coastline University." Karen Eisenberg suddenly said.
"Go to China?" Orendrake said blankly.
"Yes, not only am I going to China, I have decided to resign and teach at Coastline University." Karen said with great determination. When these words came out, his old friend's eyes widened: "Man, don't go crazy and lose your mind. Go
Shoreline University? You are now a tenured professor at Hopkins University. I think you should calm down, oh, God, if I had known I wouldn’t look for you, I would have harmed you.”
As he said this, Orendrake put his head in his hands with an exaggerated expression.
"You are indeed harmful to others, but if you know but don't tell me, I will definitely break up with you!" At this point, old man Karen suppressed his excitement and stared at his friend: "Since the 1970s,
There has been no breakthrough in modern basic physics for a long time, and I know I swear, believe me, this article means more to the physics community than you think."
The incident at Shoreline University caused an uproar in the global education and academic circles. It happened more than half a month ago. Karen Eisenberg also heard about it and once lamented that the Chinese people are rich.
But after reading this article, Karen was driven crazy by the fragment, and a sudden flash of inspiration gave him the idea of teaching at Shoreline University.
Karen is still very confident about her status as a physicist. Coastline University is recruiting external professors from around the world, and the salary is really attractive.
If you go to Coastline University to teach, even if you are not a first-level professor, you can still become a second-level professor.
Even a second-level professor, according to the funding allocation system of Coast University's research fund pool, can have more than 10 million US dollars in review-free funding every year, and he can use this funding to research whatever he wants.
This funding allocation system is the first of its kind in the world.
To be honest, even if there was no factor of being abused by this paper, Karen Eisenberg would still be very moved. However, as a tenured professor at Hopkins University, he has to be more reserved. If the other party comes to recruit people, he can consider it.
Although the salary there is excellent, I am not bad at Hopkins, after all, I am a tenured professor.
"Oren, how about you come with me?"
At this time, Karen Eisenberg had an inexplicable flash of inspiration again, and continued enthusiastically: "With your qualifications and academic achievements, if you go to Coastline University to teach, you will definitely be able to get a second-level professorship in the School of Life Sciences.
There is also a good chance that you will be a first-level professor. Even if you rely on exemption funds, you can continue to study the science of cryogenic hibernation, and Shoreline University is backed by a technology giant."
"Hey, hey, hey... my old buddy, I asked you to come here to help, but you actually acted as a lobbyist?" Orendrake looked at him in shock, glanced at the door of the office, and then lowered his voice and warned vividly:
"If Mahler heard what you said, I swear, he would definitely kick you out of Alcor."
Mahler is the head of the Alcor Life Extension Fund, and this guy actually came to help Ye Hua recruit Alcor's chief technical expert. Orendrake was also dumbfounded by his old friend's behavior and brain circuits.
Karen patted the manuscript solemnly: "What does this paper mean? It means that Ye Hua has made greater progress in the field of hibernation science than you. Don't you want to see what is behind it? And I bet,
Alcor will definitely not be able to do Coastline. You have no future here. If you go to Coastline University to teach now, you will most likely lead this project. You are a top expert in the field of hibernation science. Am I right?"
Olendrake stared blankly at his old friend, while Karen had an encouraging expression on his face, as if he was saying let's go to China to teach together.
These words were like waking up a dreamer. He had been immersed in research without thinking about anything else. Now he had to think about his future and career: "Oh oh oh... you old bastard, I was deceived by you and had no intention of doing research."
It’s…!”
