From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Edward Witten is one of the most influential theoretical physicists in the world today.

He created the M theory that unified superstring theory, and single-handedly put string theory on the throne of "grand unification" theory. He was named the sixth most influential person after World War II by American's "Life" weekly. One of the highest H-index among physicists.

As such a heavyweight, Edward Witten is naturally very authoritative in the professional field, and he also belongs to the top academic journals, who do not need to review manuscripts at all when publishing results.

When Edward Witten confirmed to participate in the review work, the editorial department of the "Science" journal immediately sent the entire content of the paper.

"Analysis of the Big Bang Theory based on Annihilation Theory and String Theory..."

Edward Witten was very interested after reading the title, but when he got into the initial content, he frowned slightly. After reading on, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he even became a little excited .

This paper is based on the 'high-dimensional definition of annihilation force'.

Because of this, Edward Witten frowned when he saw the first part. He didn't like the content about annihilation theory very much, because the relevant content seemed to negate string theory.

As a scholar and paper reviewer, he still tries to maintain a neutral attitude.

The study of annihilation theory has predicted particle collision experiments twice, and also directly predicted new mesons, and even calculated the energy range in which they are located.

This result is very amazing.

Of course, Edward Witten also knows how important the research of Wang Hao and Paul Phil Jones is, and the theory of annihilation can no longer be directly denied.

He can deny the theory, but it is impossible to deny mathematics and experimental results.

Therefore, even if there are some conflicting research contents, he still reads it patiently.

After continuing to read, Edward Witten gradually understood the content, and suddenly became a little excited. The subsequent content was completely different from what he imagined.

The research in the thesis is to analyze the annihilation force as "high-dimensional chaos". Chaos is naturally disordered. I don't know what it is, or it is a force, or some kind of incomprehensible high-dimensional matter.

In short, can not understand.

This definition is completely different from the basis of the annihilation theory, because the basis of the annihilation theory is to define the annihilation force as the space extrusion effect.

The paper believes that all the manifestations of the existing annihilation force are just the display of the high-dimensional mapping in the three-dimensional universe, and they are the manifestations of the high-dimensional influence on the three-dimensional universe.

"Under the influence of the high-dimensional annihilation force, the Big Bang happened."

"The initial singularity of the cosmic explosion is only the initial manifestation of the high-dimensionality on the three-dimensional universe, and then the influence spreads slowly, forming a big bang."

"In a mathematical sense, it is the matter that shapes the progressive diffusion effect. If the annihilation force is understood as high-dimensional matter, all the mass in the universe comes from higher dimensions..."

"The follow-up inference is that gravity may appear because the mass comes from high dimensions and is repelled by low dimensions..."

"This statement is interesting!"

Edward Witten read the paper as a whole and found that some of the mathematical derivations and subsequent inferences were very interesting.

This research is definitely very novel, as is the representation of the Big Bang.

More importantly, the mathematical system constructed on the basis of the content of the paper utilizes a large part of the content of string theory, and after defining the annihilation force as a high-dimensional product, the annihilation system is included in the dimensional framework of string theory.

According to string theory, the cosmic space in which human beings live is the D3 brane in 9+1-dimensional space-time.

Then, the force of annihilation can be understood as the chaos at the middle of the 9+1-dimensional space-time.

"Novel and perfect explanation!"

"This theory includes the annihilation system in the category of string theory, and the mathematical structure is very rigorous!"

"What a genius..."

Edward Witten has been watching to the end, and he regrets that the reviewer will not have the name of the contributor, but he has already defined the author of the paper as a genius in the field of string theory.

Seeing such top-level research results, he couldn't help feeling very excited.

However, after carefully studying the mathematical structure in the thesis, I felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't find out what was wrong.

The surprise of "the unity of the annihilation system within the framework of string theory" quickly covered up the trace of "wrongness", and the excitement regained its innermost feelings.

After confirming that there was no problem with the mathematical argument, he approved the paper and wrote a sentence of evaluation, "This is a major breakthrough in theoretical physics research..."

a week later.

The journal "Science-Physics" released a new issue, and one of the more than ten pages of papers has attracted the attention of many physicists.

"Analysis of the Big Bang Theory based on Annihilation Theory and String Theory"

By Ledley Parsons.

When the paper was officially released, the response from the international physics community was very strong. The new research incorporated the annihilation system into the framework of string theory. The mathematical content of the demonstration was extremely rigorous, and no problems could be found at all.

More importantly, the new research combines annihilation theory and string theory to provide a new explanation for the big bang, which is tantamount to combining the two.

At the same time, the annihilation system is included in the eleven-dimensional space system of string theory.

To some extent, the research included the annihilation system in the research scope of string theory, which naturally aroused a lot of heated public opinion.

Some physicists naturally can't see it, they are not fans of string theory, and many people are very disgusted with string theory, and annihilation theory can derive experiments, analyze and calculate new particles in advance, and the results are incorporated into Into the string theory system?

"That's asshole logic."

The famous astronomer, Professor Rollinson-Pellon of Stanford University, said bluntly, "I admit that its explanation of the big bang is indeed very novel, and the mathematical argument is very rigorous, but it forcibly pulls the annihilation system into the string theory. system, but in fact, it just uses some mathematical content of string theory, which can be said to be completely new research."

"The eleven-dimensional framework of string theory is too broad. Moreover, whether the 9+1-dimensional space they say exists may not be confirmed in another ten thousand years."

"Because of the high-dimensional nature of the annihilation force, it makes no sense at all to say that the annihilation force is in the 9+1-dimensional space."

"The research is good, but the expansion sucks!"

The thinking of many physicists is the same as that of Rawryson-Bailen.

They appreciate the content of the research, but scoff at some irrelevant content explanations.

If we only take the main content of the thesis as an example, we are only reconstructing the mathematical system of the big bang based on the "high-dimensional behavior of annihilation force", and the part related to string theory only uses some mathematical content.

Of course, scholars of string theory don't see it that way.

The main content of the thesis uses the mathematical framework related to string theory to combine annihilation theory and string theory, which is equivalent to bundling the two.

Annihilation theory is correct, and string theory is, of course, also correct.

Then it is a matter of course that the annihilation system is incorporated into the string theory system. After all, the string theory has been developed for decades, and the annihilation theory is just a theory that has just emerged.

Many physicists are arguing about this in their respective platforms.

This is what happened in the international physics community.

...

Xihai University.

Wang Hao didn't know about the new research for the time being. He received good news. The Academy of Sciences announced the final list of candidates for the co-option of academicians, and his name was on the list.

The interesting data is that a total of 16 people from the Department of Mathematical Physics have entered the final list of candidates, of which only three are pure mathematics research.

One of them was an acquaintance—Zhong Mingchu, a professor at Donggang University.

When Zhong Mingchu and Wang Hao won the Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Award together, Wang Hao also 'plagiarized' Zhong Mingchu's acceptance speech on the spot, so the memory is naturally a little deep.

Now that both of them have entered the final list of candidates, there is a high probability that they will also be selected as academicians together.

That's hardly suspenseful.

There are only three candidates for academicians in mathematics, and all three of them can be selected without accident.

Pan Weiguo called and congratulated Wang Hao in advance for his selection as an academician, because it was the final candidate stage, and there was only one month before the department meeting, so it was only a matter of time before he was selected.

Pan Weiguo also talked about Zhong Mingchu, and said with a smile, "Zhong Mingchu was planning to give up at first, but he decided to continue participating after the old academician persuaded him."

"His problem is that it overlaps with your field. Number theory, it doesn't matter if you change the field."

"Academician Ying persuaded him that you have too many fields, such as differential equations, number theory, and even geometry, all have achievements that can win the Nobel Prize, and the opportunity to be selected as an academician is limited. If you give up participating in the next one, you may not be selected. Only then did Professor Zhong decide to continue participating."

"But when the time comes, it might be a little embarrassing..."

Wang Hao just laughed when he heard it. He really didn't expect that he had such a great influence that he would make many mathematics candidates give up the selection.

Similar things are just listening.

For any domestic scholar, the co-option of academicians is very important, and some of them will definitely be selected as academicians in the future, so it doesn't matter if they give up.

For those who may not be able to be evaluated, they must strive for opportunities.

Academician, but the rest of my life.

For many scholars, the title of academician is much bigger than face and some public opinion disputes.

Wang Hao is looking forward to being selected as an academician.

This year, he has been exceptionally promoted to a first-level professor, and has a title of academician. It can be said that he has personally reached the peak, and there is no room for promotion.

Of course, now he no longer cares about job titles and titles.

Just as Wang Hao put down the phone, the door of the office was pushed open.

Paul Phil Jones walked in with a little anger, "Wang Hao, do you know?"

"What?"

"In the latest issue of "Science" magazine, Ridley, his new achievement, the annihilation system is actually incorporated into the framework of string theory. It is unreasonable to draw a conclusion just by listing a nine-plus-one-dimensional framework!"

Paul Phil-Jones said angrily, and put the printed paper on the table.

Wang Hao frowned, took the paper and looked at it, "Based on the high-dimensional annihilation force, reshape the mathematical system of the big bang theory?"

"Yes, part of the framework of string theory is used." Paul Phil-Jones said angrily, "It's unreasonable! Just using part of the mathematical content, you want to annex the theory of annihilation directly? What kind of logic is this?"

He was really very angry.

Now when it comes to the theory of annihilation, scholars all over the world think of Wang Hao first, and Paul Phil Jones second.

Annihilation theory has become the most concerned physical theory, because it can directly predict particle collision experiments, and the degree of attention is even higher than that of string theory.

That stupid Ridley, actually made a new study, trying to incorporate the annihilation system into string theory?

Absolutely unacceptable!

Wang Hao shook his head lightly and said, "This is impossible."

The annihilation theory was proposed by him. Naturally, he is very clear about the conflict between the annihilation theory and the string theory. It is simply impossible to incorporate the annihilation system into the string theory.

"There is definitely something wrong with this study."

Wang Hao said, "Let's study it together and see what's wrong with it."

"good!"

Paul Phil Jones nodded seriously.

Then the two of them did research together, and they quickly found that there was no problem with the mathematical structure as a whole, and there was no need to investigate the details.

This paper was reviewed by Edward Witten, and it was published in the journal "Science-Physics", and the errors in the details have long been found out.

In the overall mathematical structure, there are many frame contents defined out of imagination.

That's not a problem either.

The research of theoretical physics is like this. The purpose of research is to provide a way to explain physical phenomena, not to prove anything.

What is theoretical physics?

For example, if you see an apple falling on the ground, theoretical physics can provide an explanation. The explanation can be "the earth has a special magnetic force, which can attract organic matter", or "the earth is attractive and can attract all things", and so on.

For the problem of the apple falling on the ground, each of the above explanations can make sense, as long as it can make sense, it is the correct research.

It is the job of the experimental physicist to verify which is the correct explanation.

They studied it together for more than two hours and found no problems.

Wang Hao frowned, and said with certainty, "No, there must be something wrong."

Paul Phil-Jones said, "There is no problem in the logic of the mathematical argument. His analysis is very reasonable. This application is correct, but where is the problem?"

"Maybe it's the very beginning? Let's see together..."

While the two were discussing continuously, Zhang Zhiqiang walked in quietly. He came to talk to Wang Hao about the cooperation project of the Shencheng Aero-Engine Research Institute, but seeing that the two were seriously engaged in research, he could only keep quiet. wait aside.

As a result, I heard the two talking constantly, "The annihilation theory and string theory are in conflict at the bottom, so there must be a problem with the research."

"I think so too, the key is where is the problem?"

"The mathematical argument in the middle section is logically clear..."

"Several definitions are fine..."

Zhang Zhiqiang waited for a long time, but the two were still studying. He couldn't wait any longer, so he simply said, "If you can't find the problem, maybe there is no problem?"

"Shua!"

Wang Hao and Paul Phil Jones looked up at Zhang Zhiqiang at the same time.

Paul Phil-Jones glanced at Zhang Zhiqiang, and immediately lowered his head indifferently.

Wang Hao was stunned, and suddenly said, "Yes, maybe it's okay!"

"How is it possible!" Paul Phil-Jones said, "The underlying definitions of the two theories are in conflict."

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Maybe the research is correct?"

Paul Phil-Jones was puzzled, "Do you think the research is correct? Don't you mean that string theory and annihilation theory can be combined..."

"of course not."

Wang Hao said with a smile, "I mean, for annihilation theory, the research is correct, but for string theory, it's not necessarily true."

He thought for a while, and then explained, "I've already figured it out."

"The content of this paper is indeed correct. It is a standard 'annihilation theory theoretical physics achievement'. It just uses part of the mathematical content of string theory."

"At the same time, it fundamentally disproves string theory!"

"The explanation of the difference in particles in string theory is the difference in the way and shape of the strings. This paper is based on the annihilation theory. The initial mathematical construction uses the concept of mass units in the annihilation system."

"In other words, it directly negates the explanation of the composition of particles in string theory, and affirms the concept of particles composed of perfect mass units."

"So, it directly denies string theory on the underlying basis!"
