Hammer of Technology

Ning Wei turned his head and looked at Luo Zhiqiang suspiciously. The resident professor shrugged his shoulders. He just turned his head and walked to the door. Before he opened the door of the conference room, the door of the conference room was blocked by people outside. After pulling away heavily, a burly Westerner appeared in front of the two of them. Behind him, the staff obviously wanted to hold him back, but seemed a little powerless.

Ning Wei subconsciously glanced at Liu Wei who was standing on the other side of the door, and he clearly saw that his dear brother Liu was already on alert, standing behind the white man, basically he could strike the white man with just a stretch of his hand. Where the back of the guy's head is.It is probably because the comprehensive judgment that this guy is not very threatening, so he didn't do it.

Judging by Ning Wei's understanding of Liu Wei and his team's working ability, he is sure that this big-looking white guy is most likely an internal staff member of Cern, or a scientist stationed here, otherwise, this There is a high probability that it is impossible to come in front of him.Even if this is not the country.Soon, Ning Wei's judgment was proved.

Because Luo Zhiqiang who was standing in front of the door asked angrily, "Professor Alex, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean by asking me? No, I should be asking you what you mean today! Damn, according to the plan, what should be done today is our project, and the whole world knows how important my project is, but now we To be rejected from the laboratory. You are committing a crime, Luo, you are committing a crime against science! I can't even imagine how important an experiment is to delay my research!"

The professor Alex that Luo Zhiqiang was talking about roared loudly, and the waving of his arms showed how angry the professor was at this moment.

What made Ning Wei even more sympathetic was that he could even see the Tumo Xingzi rushing out crazily. Fortunately, Luo Zhiqiang was blocking it in front, otherwise it would definitely splash on his face.He is very lucky, but Lao Luo is definitely not so lucky, and he will probably have to wash his face later.

While sympathizing with this Luo Zhiqiang, Ning Wei had already taken out his cell phone from his pocket.

The first sentence the professor walked in made Ning Wei understand what happened. This is obviously not a problem that needs him to solve.

At the same time, Ning Wei has no interest in Professor Alex's research project.

The vast majority of bigwigs doing scientific research think that their own projects are the most important in the world, and other experiments should give way to their own projects.This is why cern needs so many administrative staff.Everyone thinks that their project is important, and whoever gets the project first and who has to queue up needs to think about it holistically.Today's incident was obviously caused by Edwin George's failure to coordinate well.

However, Ning Wei's actions directly caught the attention of the person at the door, and his domineering eyes swept directly to Ning Wei: "Are you Ning Wei?"

It's somewhat disrespectful because of the interrogative sentences used.

However, it is said that many Westerners are face-blind when they see Orientals, so it is probably normal that they cannot recognize them.

If he and Lao Luo were the only ones here now, Ning Wei would most likely choose to answer directly: "I am not."

But at this moment, Liu Wei was standing there, directly giving Ning Wei the courage to be fearless, nodding confidently and answering: "Yes, it's me, what's wrong?"

It is true that he is not afraid at all, Ning Wei has witnessed the fighting ability of Brother Liu in the society, and he can knock down a big man who is stronger than Professor Alex in front of him with a casual elbow.Sent to the hospital for examination, it is said that several ribs were broken.

how to say……

Although this happened in China, that person was also an international friend at the time, so Liu Wei was somewhat emotional, and because of this incident, he almost had to suspend his duties and go to confinement.In the end, Ning Wei insisted on not letting Liu Wei go. In the end, Brother Liu wrote an in-depth review to solve the matter.

valley

Not to mention that Liu Wei specially applied for a legal weapon certificate when he went out this time.

So Ning Wei is very courageous.

Fortunately, although this professor Alex looked very excited, even annoyed, he didn't have the idea of ​​doing it. Instead, he scolded with reason: "I know you, you are a mathematician, your artificial intelligence, That thing called March is very interesting, but you are only a mathematician, at most you can be considered an excellent programmer! But do you really understand high-energy physics?"

Faced with such a harshly worded question, Ning Wei thought about it carefully, then nodded, then shook his head, and replied sincerely: "Well, I dare not say that I really understand it. I can only say that I understand it a little bit, right? "

The sincere and obviously not afraid of being beaten made Professor Alex startled. The main reason is the language barrier, because he understands a little Chinese, and expressing it in English can easily be understood as only knowing a little...

Apparently, this Professor Alex is preparing a backhand. If Ning Wei answers that he really understands it, he may have to ask a bunch of questions, but he doesn't know how to deal with it because he understands it a little bit.

Of course, the lack of language is a matter of a moment. Facts have proved that most of the scientists who can gain a foothold in cern have super high IQs. Generally speaking, people with high IQs will not react too slowly, so the white professor asked again soon: " Only know a little? Since you have self-knowledge, I can't figure out why you want to do this unknown experiment and waste my time?!"

The momentum is still very strong...

Ning Wei thought about it for a long time, and then he still answered honestly: "Probably because I am rich? It just so happens that money can be recognized here...Mr. Alex, do you think it is possible that in the future your Is it possible that the funding for the experiment was paid indirectly by me?"

After these few words were spoken, the temperature in the meeting room dropped rapidly.

Alex stared at Ning Wei, most likely because of this sentence, he broke the defense, and was silent for nearly 30 seconds before continuing to ask: "Do you know how important my project is? This is a world level project, if my experiment goes well, we hope to rewrite the standard particle model, so that the world's understanding of the microscopic world will go a step further. Originally, today, yes, today, my team should use cms to conduct experiments Record!"

"We need this information very much. And you think you can control these resources by waving dollars? You don't understand physics at all, let alone particle physics. Two papers will make you more famous, but I need to tell you that this is a crime, and what you should do now is to stop this crime immediately!"

"Is that so..."

Ning Wei thought for a while, and then seriously replied: "It's actually very simple, Professor Alex, I believe you should have heard that my experiment project cost money this time, if you can give me Return the money I spent, and I will decide to let your team take over. To be honest, just now I also felt that I spent a little too much money this time. Really, when will the money arrive and when will I let it go? How about leaving the laboratory?"

The mobile phone in his hand has already been dialed, and Ning Wei has already seen the other party answer the phone, so what he said now is not only for the opposite Professor Alex, but also for Edwin George listened.

At this time, it is indeed necessary to express his dissatisfaction, otherwise he suspects that these people really treat him as a wronged seed.

"As a mathematician, you actually think that you can do whatever you want with money? I need to remind you that this is cern, a place where science is taught!"

"Well... maybe you should ask Mr. Edwin George this question, maybe he can give you a satisfactory answer, and you shouldn't ask me. Actually, I don't know if you can do whatever you want with money? I will ask later. But now you have affected our work, so I hope you can leave immediately, otherwise you will be responsible for any unpleasant things. In addition, I think the experimental data that is being done now is the most It is important, and what you are doing at this time is the real crime! Because my research must have changed the world more than you!"

Reasonable response, but Ning Wei is indeed feeling impatient, this guy is so ignorant, he already wants to wink at Liu Wei and throw this guy out.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Edwin George appearing outside the door, and rushed in hastily.

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't bother to say hello to Ning Wei, so he stood beside Luo Zhiqiang, facing the professor who came looking for something, frowned and said, "Professor Alex, what are you doing?! If I remember correctly, the project department The latest plan has been sent to your mailbox. Haven't you paid attention to your mailbox for so long?"

"Of course not, I did receive the email, Edwin, but that doesn't mean I'll accept the arrangement! The arrangement doesn't make sense! You should know better than anyone how important my research project is, and I can't accept the extension It's been postponed! That's why I'm here! It's not fair!"

Obviously, this American professor didn't have much respect for Edwin.

Of course, Edwin's aura has the aura of a supervisor: "Alex, yes, I understand, but there are 2500 professors here, and each of them is responsible for an important project. So if you still want to make trouble here, Maybe I will suggest that the project department re-audit and plan the scheduled test missions for this year. Look me in the eyes, Alex, and trust me, this is not a joke!"

"You don't have the power, Edwin!"

"No, before I leave the position of director, the committee gave me this power! Of course, you can also file a motion to ask the committee to dismiss me early, but before that, I seriously suggest that you leave now, otherwise I dare not Guarantee what suggestions I will make to the project department at the next meeting."

Facts have proved that arrogant people still have scruples when facing the current situation...

After standing in a stalemate opposite Edwin George for ten seconds, Alex finally turned his head and left without saying a word, but gave Ning Wei a hard look before leaving...

Of course, this glance was directly ignored by Ning Wei...

There are many people who like to stare at him. For example, Dao Tian used to stare at him every now and then, and he is used to it.

"I'm sorry, Ning, this was an accident. You know, Americans are like this. They always think that the universe revolves around them. They like to praise others as the best in the world, but in fact they think they are the sky!"

"Eh? Aren't you an American?"

"Of course not, my God, how can I be a rude American, I'm Danish!"

"Ok?"

------------

454 The theoretical framework that drives people crazy

Ning Wei was amused by Edwin George.

Especially the sentence: "When Americans like to praise others as the best in the world, they actually think they are the best."

It turns out that these people are also quite harmful.

Of course, it can also be seen that some American physicists may not be as popular as expected in CERN.However, Edwin George's face resolutely distanced himself from the Americans, and he did not hesitate to stand in line, which really made people lose their temper.

"Okay... Then I will trouble you, Director George, but I hope this kind of thing will not happen again. Otherwise, I will consider whether the final payment still needs to be paid." Ning Wei demanded seriously.

"Don't worry, Ning, I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again. I will arrange special security to prevent this kind of thing. Believe me, I will arrange it right away." Edwin George said immediately, patting his chest.

……

Edwin George also left.

After watching the cern supervisor leave, Luo Zhiqiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Money is really a good thing."

It's true that not everyone can make Director Cern bow down.

"I feel that the popularity of Americans here is not very good. It's not what I imagined. Didn't I hear that Europeans follow the lead of the United States?" Ning Wei asked curiously.

Hearing Ning Wei's words, Luo Zhiqiang laughed and said, "Actually, the Europeans I contacted scolded Americans in the same way. But it doesn't explain anything."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Ning Wei asked curiously.

Luo Zhiqiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think the main thing is to rely on the United States for national defense. Most European countries are small in size and population, so they don't feel safe! So in terms of big policy, I still hope to rely on strength The stronger side is closer. But at the individual level, Europeans are also very proud. There are not a few people who call Americans bandits. Anyway, the United States cannot send American soldiers here because of a few words between scientists, right? ?”

Ning Wei nodded, deeply convinced...

No wonder the gang of old Europeans he came into contact with all acted like schizophrenia, which makes sense. The main reason is that they have no sense of security in their bones. Mouth addicted.

The body is always more honest than the mouth, the ancients really did not lie.

"By the way, what did that Professor Alex study just now?" Ning Wei asked curiously again.

Luo Zhiqiang replied: "He is doing research on the w boson. Six years ago, Fermilab published a paper in the "Science" magazine, and carried out measurements based on the data accumulated by tevatron over the years. The measurement results show that The mass of the w boson was heavier than expected. There was an uproar at the time, and some people even thought that this was the starting point of new physics. Because if this measurement is absolutely accurate, it means that the standard model of particles needs to be revised.”

"So these years, cern is also doing research on this result. Just now Alex is a professor at Rice University in Texas. He presided over the photon collision experiment with the support of Rice University before, and found that photons can produce function, and captured the w boson pair. In this way, high-energy photons can be used to directly measure the electroweak interaction, so as to verify the quality and characteristics of the w boson. Theoretically, if he can really do it in this direction If it works out, it could really contribute to the Standard Model."

I have to say that Luo Zhiqiang's answer is still very pertinent.He neither praised Yang nor belittled, and introduced Alex's identity and major achievements to Ningwei in a very general way.Of course, in Ning Wei's view, these achievements are probably not much achievements.But Ning Wei also roughly understood the reason why this Professor Alex was so irritable.

After all, he is from Texas. We all know that the folk customs are tough, and the place where the cowboys are born in the legend is the kind of cowboys who can draw a gun at each other if they don't agree with each other.And it comes from Rice University, known as the "Harvard of the South". This is one of the top private schools in the United States, and it can be regarded as the top university in the South, so it makes sense to be proud.

Ning Wei asked casually again: "Oh, then do you think the Standard Model is really standard?"

Luo Zhiqiang thought for a while and replied cautiously: "Actually, no one dares to say that the standard model is the real standard. After all, we still know too little about the microcosm."

"Coincidentally, I think so too. So leave him alone, let's do our own." Ning Wei patted Luo Zhiqiang's shoulder with a smile, and then asked suddenly: "Professor Luo, don't you think that in your heart, in fact, what happened just now?" Professor Alex right?"

Luo Zhiqiang smiled wryly, and replied: "That's not true. But let me be honest, Academician Ning, have you forgotten that you never told us what the goal of this experiment is? We just cooperate with you as much as possible according to the requirements. Completely collect the data you need. In fact, I have talked with Lao Gu privately. If it is not confidential, if you can tell us the detailed requirements, the efficiency can be higher.”

Ning Wei smiled, and replied: "Professor Luo, it's really not that I deliberately wanted to hide it from you. It's mainly about the things I want to verify. How should I put it, it's more whimsical. But it doesn't matter now. Well, here is a pen With paper?"

"Eh? Yes, there are..."

Soon, Luo Zhiqiang left the conference room, and when he came in again, he took a stack of Dadu A4 manuscript paper.

Ning Wei picked up the pen and quickly started writing on the manuscript paper.

"Professor Luo, this is some of my recent research. I just took this opportunity to discuss it with you. I started my research from the Dirac equation. We know that in the original Schrödinger equation, because of the unequal status of time and space, in order to make the Schrödinger equation In line with the special theory of relativity, Dirac modified the Schrödinger equation to a certain extent and obtained the Dirac equation."

一边说着，宁为一边在纸上开始书写公式：e=(m^2+p^2)^(1/2)，这里设光速为1。

"The biggest problem with the original Dirac equation is that the solution of the equation will have negative energy. But in classical relativistic mechanics, when there is no potential energy term, the energy is always positive. Allowing negative energy in quantum mechanics means that a particle has a chance to spontaneously go to the lower Energy transition, at the same time according to the law of conservation of energy, this process will release infinite energy, if this is true, then theoretically our reality is full of disasters in an instant. So Dirac predicted the positron, thanks to these big Man, we have the basis of quantum field theory."

Valley casting

"The above is the most basic theory that everyone knows. Next, we set o-xyz and o-x'y'z' as two reference frames, v is the relative speed between the reference frames, and c is the speed of light, then According to the Lorentz transformation, we can draw t'=(t-vx/c2)/(1-v2/c2).Here we assume that v→c in the formula, then examine the partial differential?t'/?vdv that is It can be derived to describe the instantaneous change law of clock slowness relative to speed, as follows..."

"Next is the focus of what I want to talk about, and I have derived some theories through mathematical methods. What we need to do next is to define a special imaginary space. I named it Chishort Space. This space The biggest feature is v>c, optimistic, we are going to start synchronously converting the formula..."

Ning Wei was explaining in his mouth, and his writing didn't stop. Soon a piece of paper was filled, Ning Wei casually threw the exhausted manuscript paper aside, and then picked up the second manuscript paper...

And Luo Zhiqiang next to him has already started scratching his head...

He couldn't understand it, and Ningwei's derivation process was lost.

The reason is also very simple. The initial starting point is too simple. Let alone a professor who specializes in high-energy physics, he thinks that any graduate student can understand the meaning of those formulas and representations.

But there is no excess in the middle...

When the topic started to turn to the short space, Luo Zhiqiang felt that his brain couldn't keep up...

No, it should be said that the difficulty has increased significantly since the partial differential expression. Although he didn't want to admit it, he did have a feeling of ignorance.Because although he couldn't understand those complicated formulas, he could tell that Ningwei's research was under the framework of mathematics and followed the orderly framework of theoretical demonstrations.For example, there is a difference between infinite-dimensional operators and finite-dimensional matrices.

As for the effective framework in physics, it is simply three steps. The first step is to be proposed. After the proposal, the second step is to insert basic theories into the framework to fill the framework system and use these theories to control The description of this world, such as the Newtonian mechanics system, Maxwell's theory, and Einstein's special theory of relativity, the last step is to test whether these theories are correct through experiments.

If it is proved to be correct, then it is called a theorem, and a complete theoretical framework can also be proclaimed.It's just that the third step is often a long process, especially for the theoretical description of the microcosm, which is still limited by the level of technology and industry, and can only be counted in a theoretical state.

For example, the string theory and field theory proposed by the physics community until now are actually stuck in the third step.

For example, not long ago, Professor Pan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proved that in quantum mechanics, imaginary numbers are necessary, but for physics, imaginary numbers have no meaning, which has become a paradox. So far, no one has been able to give an accurate explain.

In the same way, the lepton theory perturbation is expanded, and the first few orders are highly consistent with the experiment, but if the higher-order items are always expanded, it is found that it deviates from the experimental results, and even the addition of all orders diverges.

Really, for physicists like Luo Zhiqiang, many times they even doubt from the bottom of their hearts whether the earth's technology is really locked up by sophons as the three-body theory said. Once the research reaches a critical moment, there will be Invisible forces prevent human beings from a deeper understanding of nature.

No new framework has been proposed for many years, and he never expected to see it again today.

Of course, a new framework means a new theory, and it also means that a long experimental process is required to verify it.

Yes, at this moment, although Luo Zhiqiang's logical thinking ability has been stuck, his thoughts drifted far away, and he did not ask Ning Wei to explain to him those formulas that he did not understand.Because when people reach a certain age, they will really have self-knowledge. Luo Zhiqiang is 49 this year and will soon be [-] years old. Since Ningwei used complicated formulas to define the short space of the ruler, he knows that he does not need to ask questions, because the more he asks, the more he will understand. more confused.

However, he did not interrupt Ning Wei, but just waited silently for Ning Wei to give the final result.Because they are all in this line of work, Luo Zhiqiang knows very well that it is very impolite to interrupt a scientist who is enthusiastically talking about his recent research results. If he doesn't have the ability to understand, then hold back...

Not to mention that Ning Wei may be his future benefactor, and he is looking forward to it, because after the argument is over, Ning Wei will definitely give a conclusion under the theoretical framework.

In this way, it took about two hours to write one sheet after another on the manuscript paper, spreading it all over the desk. Ning Wei finally started to prepare the final conclusion.

"Professor Luo, look, do you feel something wrong at this time? That's right, now is the moment to witness miracles. Now we bring this formula into Theorem 7 and Lemma 21. Did you find any problem? In In the short space, we remove t, and all these equations have definite solutions! You should understand what this means, right?" Ning Wei raised his head and looked at Luo Zhiqiang.

Yes, maybe Luo Zhiqiang didn’t understand the whole argument, but after seeing these explanations at the end, of course Luo Zhiqiang could understand what this meant, he couldn’t help swallowing subconsciously, and asked in amazement: “You mean the reason is that the ruler is short? Is the instantaneous position of the particle fixed in space? Not constrained by Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle?”

"Well, that's the conclusion at the moment. I have a bolder idea, Professor Luo, do you think the ruler-short space really exists? If it is true, then many things in our universe that confuse us can be found in the universe. Mathematically proven."

"No, how can this kind of space exist?"

"Why is it impossible? Einstein once chased light, and we are sure that the speed of light is constant, so when we are equal to the speed of light, what changes is space and time. At the same time, because of this limitation, we are still unable to determine This kind of space exists in the universe. But if it really exists, think about it, what would the projection of this space look like in the universe?" Ning Wei threw his pen on the table casually, staring at Luo Zhiqiang seriously and asked.

Luo Zhiqiang remained silent...

But my mind is completely messed up...

Indeed, if such a space really exists, the projection of the space in the universe is enough to support the current expansion speed of the universe, and a large part of the missing mass of the universe has been found.
