The first thousand one hundred and thirty first chapters of the great gods
(The serial numbers of the first two chapters were wrong, so they have been changed)
Professor Ding Huaizhong also gave a keynote speech at this conference, titled "Applications of Quantum Physics in the Future World." Liu Lang also listened to this very vivid course.
Professor Ding first elaborated on the development of today's quantum physics. Scientists have discovered a large number of elementary particles through experiments. These elementary particles form the basis of the real world. At the same time, standard elementary particle models are gradually taking shape. In a few years, the standard model may be
The construction will be completed. The interaction in the standard model of particles is a gauge field, which is renormalizable after quantization. Therefore, in theory, not only can various lowest-order processes be calculated, but also their quantum corrections can be calculated, and experiments can be accurately carried out.
Predictions are subject to precise testing by experiment.
At the same time, Professor Ding also elaborated on the achievements of today's experimental physics, such as the Electron Positron Collider (LEP) of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the American Electron Positron Linear Collider (SLC), and the Proton-Antiproton Collider.
(Tevatron) and some precise fixed target experiments, these laboratories have achieved accuracy of several percent and higher, and the standard model has passed the test of these precise experiments.
In addition, he is particularly excited about the fact that CERN has begun the design and construction of the European Large Hadron Collider this year. It is located in a circular tunnel 100 meters deep underground and about 27 kilometers long in the border area of France and Switzerland.
It will cost a total of about 10 billion U.S. dollars and is expected to officially start commissioning in 2008.
By then, it will become the world's highest-energy collider by virtue of its ability to make a single particle beam energy reach seven trillion electron volts.
Professor Ding said that he was very excited about the establishment of this large collider, because he expected that the most mysterious example would be discovered by then, which is the so-called "God particle" Higgs particle. Once this particle is discovered, then quantum physics will
It will be a major progress.
After talking about these achievements, Professor Ding talked about the future and what impact quantum physics will have on the development of the world.
Professor Ding was nonchalant and talked about quantum computers. He said that if quantum computers were born, the whole world would be completely changed.
Good guy, Liu Lang felt that Professor Ding's prediction was very powerful. Even computer experts today dare not say that quantum computers will appear, because this technology has not even been born in theory. Of course, this is what Professor Ding said,
How to make it is a problem for computer experts.
Professor Ding's speech was very wonderful, and several other professors were equally wonderful.
What surprised Liu Lang the most was that the famous British physicist Hawking also came to the scene. This was the first time Liu Lang saw him. In fact, six years ago, Hawking came to China for the first time and studied astrophysics at the University of Science and Technology of China.
academic report, but at that time Liu Lang was still preparing for SMIC and was not in the capital, so he missed that opportunity.
Hawking is more famous today than he was back then because he published "A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes" in 1988. This book has become the most popular physics monograph in recent years and has been listed in Time magazine many times.
Bestseller list.
At this time, Hawking could no longer speak, but he could type with his fingers. The organizers of the conference specially arranged more than an hour of speech time for him. Starting from the study of black holes, he explored the origin and destiny of the universe, and even laughed at himself that this book was
The West is jokingly called "the best-seller that cannot be read." He said why this book is so popular? It is because the book attempts to answer topics that only theology could touch in the past, that is, whether time has a beginning and whether space has boundaries.
Liu Lang has great respect for Hawking. It is hard to imagine that a person whose body has been completely imprisoned for decades can think beyond all else. Not to mention his theory, his perseverance and persistence are enough to shock the entire human race.
Of course, Hawking's contribution is not just popularization. In the next 2015, he launched the largest search for extraterrestrial intelligent life in human history, which is the "Breakthrough Listen" project. Through radio and optical technology,
The search, which includes the entire Milky Way and a hundred nearby galaxies, will last ten years and cost $100 million.
Later, he launched the "Breakthrough Star Shooting" project in 16 years, planning to build a large number of miniature interstellar spacecraft and launch them to Alpha Centauri, the so-called "Trisolaris" at one-fifth the speed of light.
.
These plans look very sci-fi, but they are all real actions. Who would have thought that these plans were led by an old man who has been paralyzed for decades?
Liu Lang immediately became a "fanboy" when Hawking showed up. He picked up a camera and took pictures of him. After the other party's speech, Liu Lang hurried over and took a photo with him. Hawking also knew Liu Lang, and he was in a wheelchair.
A few words were typed on the bulky personal computer placed there: I know you, I like Buzz Lightyear.
Buzz Lightyear is the protagonist of "Toy Story". Although he is a toy, he considers himself to be the leader of the distant stars. He wants to save the earth and his dream is to fly into the universe. And he is indeed a brave explorer, a man who is brave enough to challenge himself.
sacrificial figures.
This spirit of adventure is also possessed by Professor Hawking.
Liu Lang felt that he and Hawking had the same trait, which was the yearning for the endless universe. This yearning transcended the weak human body, the limitations of distance and time, and even the confinement of latitude.
Maybe everyone is curious about the endless mysterious universe, but most people are unable to put it into practice. But Hawking did it, can he do it in the future?
The answer is yes. Liu Lang will definitely fight for his better dream in the future. Maybe twenty or thirty years later, forty or fifty years later, he may even fight for his whole life like Hawking. Even if he dies, his
There are still people to inherit the career, and this kind of life is meaningful.
The meeting continued, followed by lectures on biology and film art. Lucas was also invited to the stage. The title of his lecture was the application of special effects in movies. For this purpose, Industrial Light and Magic also made a ten-second video
miniature fragments.
And it was this ten-second clip that caused a climax in the meeting.
This is a special effect of Optimus Prime's transformation. It is different from the form of cartoons. This is completely based on 3D special effects, and further based on this, it is an animation with almost real-life special effects. In Liu Lang's eyes, this section
The quality of the special effects is no less than the action special effects in previous live-action Transformers movies.
Why only ten seconds? Because it is too expensive and time-consuming. For just these ten seconds, Industrial Light & Magic spent a month and a million dollars.
But the value of this one million US dollars was an eye-opener for everyone. This level of special effects has already crushed all similar companies and left them far behind.
Lucas likes to see other people's dumbfounded looks. At this moment, he is the sun on the field, and everyone has to look up to him, except of course the kid below. To be honest, even he, the creator of Industrial Light and Magic,
No one could have imagined that film special effects had reached such a high level in just a few years. Liu Lang made the greatest contribution here. He introduced Wan'an's computer program into the special effects. Powerful computer technology combined with traditional film to realize human
A wonder of images that I had never even thought about before.
Lucas expounded on the future development direction of movies with great enthusiasm, and announced that Shengtang Company would take on this important task and become the leader of modern movies.
