Hammer of Technology

This somehow made Ning Wei feel a little at ease...

If it really stopped work in March for a year and a half, it would not only be a simple waste of time, but even the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry for the next year would not be so confident...

495 One and the other

"It's a great pleasure to meet you here today. You should have seen my resume in the professor's introduction of this course. But before the formal class, I still hope to introduce myself to you as usual. My My full name is Hope w. King, I don't know how other expats introduce themselves, but I like to tell you about my family name, in fact because of different cultures, my family name is the same as what everyone knows as Martin Luther King has nothing to do with it."

"Okay, the above is a joke. But let's stop joking. When Professor Ning asked me to tell you about the space-time foundation of modern physics, I had a deep struggle in my heart. Because probably after reading the teaching plan, I was very skeptical Is it suspected that studying this course at the undergraduate level is counterproductive? I can say without exaggeration that so far no university in the world has offered such a course at the undergraduate level.”

"Professor Dan Ning told me that the students in my class, um, that is, you, are the best students in the world. Most of you have participated in the International Physics Olympiad and won prizes. Many of you The rankings are still very high, and many people have even taken college courses in high school. All I want to do is pass on the knowledge to you, don't need to worry about whether you understand, because you will understand."

"I chose to believe in Professor Ning and took this task. Because he never missed it. About a year ago, physicists around the world, including me, thought that he should be wrong. But the laboratory data after that It proves that Professor Ning is right! This is why I am standing in this class today. My life creed is like this, to do the right thing with the right person.”

"But even so, I still want to remind everyone that in my nearly ten-year teaching career, the courseware of this course is the most difficult to do. And everyone knows that this course is rarely arranged in two parts. It takes two academic years to complete the course, with a total of 12 credits, which can already prove its importance and difficulty. Next, I will give a brief introduction to this course."

"The first half of this course needs to learn our basic knowledge about the various hypotheses that make up space-time and the relationship between space-time and mechanics, which includes many theoretical studies, such as the thermodynamics that gravity comes from the bottom layer of space-time relationship, the possibility of entanglement dynamics of space-time itself; through the holographic entanglement entropy formula to explore the possibility of the entanglement structure of the boundary field theory leading to the internal space-time structure; the possible relationship between the entanglement structure of the boundary field theory and Einstein's equations, etc..."

"The second half is the discussion of time and space in Ning's basic theory proposed by Professor Ning on the basis of previous theories. Believe me, children, if you don't have a deep understanding of the first half, you want to understand the second half." Some of them are tantamount to nonsense, such as the view and demonstration process that continuous space-time is supported by a discrete network structure, and even theoretically deny that gravity is a kind of fundamental force."

"It's unbelievable, right? So this is a subject that if you fall behind at the beginning, you may not be able to catch up. What's more frightening is that Professor Ning told me that the elimination rate of your class may reach 50.00% in two years! And this The pass rate of the course is one of the important criteria for whether you can continue to stay in this class."

"I don't want any of my classmates to be eliminated. From the perspective of a substitute professor, I hope that each of you can keep up with my courses. This requires everyone to establish some of the most basic and uncommon sense physical thinking logic. For example The unification of micro and macro may cause confusion in your thinking logic. For example, everyone should know the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, but this phenomenon obviously violates the principle of localized reality. At the same time, the quantum superposition state we often say is also inconsistent with the principle of localized reality."

"In the previous physics foundation, I would habitually tell everyone that superposition states can be simply corresponded to Fermi Dirac statistics, entangled states corresponded to Bose-Einstein statistics, and classical states corresponded to Maxwell Boltzmann Statistics. Especially the classical state, when we describe the n-slit interference experiment of electrons, we can directly use it to describe the total probability of observing electrons, especially it seems that it can naturally correspond to Berne’s law, even without wave function derivation process."

"But after the limited proof of Ning's theory, there are substitutes for these tools, and we have more effective research tools, which is the significance of this course. You are the luckiest, because this course will allow you to recognize Clearing the development track of physics in the future, you have already stood at the forefront of the latest physics theory at the undergraduate level. I can hardly imagine what level you will reach when you complete your undergraduate studies and officially become graduate students .”

"The last digression, I very much hope that you can choose me as your tutor to continue your studies after graduation. If you can get used to my teaching mode. In addition, given the difficulty of this course, although I will not stay in school for a long time , but your director still arranged an office for me, which is in Room 411 in the South Building of your Physics Building. I will stay there every Saturday afternoon from [-] to [-]. If you have any questions about this course If you know anything, you can find me there during this time period, and I will answer your questions in detail."

"Now let's officially start the first lesson, the space-time view in the history of physics. When it comes to this issue, we need to start with a very special force, which was discovered first and has not been fully understood by scientists until now. Force—gravity..."

……

"bell……"

When the get out of class bell rang, the children under the podium started applauding spontaneously.

This somewhat surprised Hope King, after all, he was not giving a lecture today, but was standing on the podium as a teacher.If there is no accident, he still has two years to stand on this podium and pass on the knowledge from the latest textbooks to these students.

But after a moment of astonishment, he reacted, smiled and waved to the audience, and then packed up the lesson plans on the desk.The mood is quite good, at least on this point Ning Wei did not lie, Huaxia and the children are really excellent students.

This even made him feel slightly regretful, maybe he could accept a few Chinese students from overseas...

However, the students flocking to the desk made him restrain his emotions. Although it was the first class, the amount of information was still sufficient. The students asked questions at the end of the class. Paying something seems like nothing.

So let's start with some more detailed explanations...

"...Oh, this question is more advanced. First of all, we have to look at this formula, sent=min(a)/4gn. Have you found out that the area of ​​the entanglement entropy to be calculated on the minimal surface and the boundary is homotopy? Yes. Although this formula has not been fully proved..."

What made Hope King quite gratified was that the children who came to ask questions not only did not understand some parts in class, but also extended more ideas. I hope he can clear up the confusion...

This also gave him a new understanding of the excellence of these Chinese children.

By analogy, he spoke earnestly and listened meticulously. No one noticed that there was someone sitting in the last row of the classroom wearing a mask, and his buttocks didn't even move.

In this way, he was surrounded on the podium for nearly 10 to [-] minutes, until the applause of "Papa Papa" sounded, um, someone was applauding in the classroom.

Hope King raised his head in astonishment, and the students around him also turned their heads to look over, and saw someone standing up in the last row of the classroom, taking off their masks casually.

"Professor Ning?"

"Hello Professor Ning!"

"Well, hello everyone, seeking knowledge is a good thing, but it's a bit too much for you to block the teacher there for half an hour after class like this. If you have any questions, think about it yourself. I really can't figure it out. Every Saturday The time for professors to answer questions is the same as that of class Ning. In the future, the professors of each of your courses will spend half a day to answer questions for you. If you have any questions after the same class, the professor will be blocked for 10 minutes. Be conscious when the time is up Ah, it's time for lunch, aren't you hungry?"

Ning Wei made a natural criticism.

Of course, the tone was not serious at all, at least there was still a smile on his face, but the students in the class were very obedient and did not surround Professor Hope King. After saying goodbye to the two professors politely, they left the classroom.

Hope King was finally able to pick up the lesson plans he had already packed and walked to Ning Wei's side.

"Professor Ning, you are too young, sitting in class is no different from those students, I didn't even recognize you."

"Haha, that's because I'm wearing a mask." Ning Wei replied cheerfully, and then asked, "How is it? Am I right? These children are very good."

"Yes, they are all very, very good children, even beyond what you described as very good. I think the next teaching career will be very pleasant." Hope King shrugged.

Two words very and nice were used in one sentence, but after saying this, the new professor for the class immediately added: "But I still maintain the previous idea. I am only responsible for the undergraduate teaching tasks here for four years. After the next year, I can lead some graduate students, but I will not continue to teach undergraduates. There is no way, I am no longer young, and I still hope to put more energy on scientific research.”

"Haha, don't worry, Hope, we Huaxia people respect contracts the most. It's like we say that science has no borders, and we will share the latest results with the world. Well, let's not talk about these, today at noon to celebrate you The first class at Yanbei University was a complete success. I invite you to dinner. Believe me, Hope, you will fall in love with Huaxia. I also called a friend who is your compatriot. I believe you will become friends too of."

Ning Wei happily patted Hope King on the shoulder and said.

As the first batch of international professors who are willing to come and take care of the undergraduates in the class, Ning Wei thinks that the highest courtesy should be given—invite them to dinner.

For the School of Physics of Yanbei University, this is probably also the beginning of success for the class.

A perfect win-win!

……

The news about the proof of the transmission of information faster than the speed of light in the laboratory and the news that the speed of information transmission can have no upper limit has been stirred up on the Internet for a period of time, and then disappeared.After all, for ordinary people, it is still too far away to start thinking about interstellar exploration.

There may be a gap of several years or even decades between theoretical breakthroughs and corresponding guidance. Therefore, except for a few technology enthusiasts who are still collecting this information in various aspects, most netizens still focus on trivial matters in daily life. .

Idol has released a new song, the price of pork is going to increase, Huawei and Apple have released new mobile phones, the Chinese men's football team has lost again, and a new hot pot restaurant has opened on the street. Life.

As for the transmission of information at the speed of light, it sounds like a very powerful thing, but it is impossible to make the speed of 5G faster for the time being, so naturally it will be over after a while.

Of course, the impact in academia is still far-reaching.

This time, it is not only the American educational circles that have begun to realize that the situation is wrong. Those who have been keeping their eyes above the top have also realized the problem of the loss of users in the near future. The willingness is also very simple. The research efficiency of many topics has slowed down significantly. Those who apply for new topics Less, and fewer papers.

This was unimaginable before.

As the only location of the world collider in the world, only here can we get first-hand data and explore the essence of the world through high-intensity particle collisions.It is also worthy of its reputation in the world, sending out many Nobel Prize winners, and contracting 90.00% of high-quality paper output in the high-energy physics community.It is no exaggeration to say that I never thought that one day they would lack scientific researchers...

As long as the Large Hadron Collider remains world-leading, this situation is almost impossible to happen.

Although Huaxia is also building a collider, the principles of the two are slightly different, and isn't it officially launched yet?

However, before Huaxia's collider was officially turned on, it encountered the problem of manpower loss...

In fact, there was no need to burden too many of these physicist resources before. After all, many scholars came on their own initiative, and they originally took the funds prepared by the school or themselves. The current situation is that the application projects used to need to be queued for review, but now there is no need for them. There is a long queue, and even some items that were impossible to pass the review before can now be passed as appropriate...

The problem is very serious, which also makes the management have to start thinking about a new problem-how to maintain academic output and guarantee the status.

The cost of maintaining the Large Hadron Collider is very high, especially the Hadron Collider that has just undergone maintenance and upgrades. If the efficiency decreases, the demand decreases, and the economic depression of the member states is superimposed, it can be seen that the future will not be smooth. It's been great.Although it has not yet reached this level of urgency, the trend is already obvious...

496 Trouble After Expansion

Of course, if you focus on the pessimistic aspects, you can only draw pessimistic conclusions.In fact, there is still good news. For example, technology stocks, especially China's technology stocks, have performed well for a while and have been hyped by market makers.

All kinds of financial experts are posting their optimism about the urgent growth that the new technological revolution will bring.

The economy has been in the doldrums for a long time, and the original host city of the Olympic Games suddenly decided to give up holding it. To put it bluntly, it is also the reason why the economy is too stretched.High prices, sluggish airlines, even tickets may be unsalable, and a lot of money has to be invested in repairing various venues. It is a loss-making business, so Los Angeles simply refused to accept the contract.Anyway, as long as the contract is denied, it means that the contract has not been signed.

Therefore, the new round of industrial revolution is a good thing, and capital has begun to lay out the next key industrial chain in advance.Aerospace, artificial intelligence, robotics, environmental improvement, ultra-long-distance communication, Internet of Things upgrade, new technology mining... Every round of industrial revolution represents the emergence of new outlets, and what capital needs to do is to lay out in advance.

For ordinary people, if they find the right outlet, it is also an opportunity to change their lives.

Rebs once said that even a pig can fly by standing on the air vent. This sentence is somewhat exaggerated, but it is not unreasonable.For the omnipotent capital, as long as there are some signs, the layout will start in advance, and by the time the production revolution begins, the layout has basically been completed.

But it is impossible for Niu Capital to count all the institutions when the industrial revolution started vigorously.Opportunities slip through their fingers, and even elites at the top sometimes have occasional deviations in their predictions of the future, which gives opportunities to others.

Even if ordinary people plan their future employment direction in advance at this time, even if they can't make a lot of money, capital will not be stingy with paying more salary when the industrial chain is expanding rapidly, and economic prosperity suddenly appeared like this .

Therefore, bypassing various complicated economic analysis, the most fundamental reason for the emergence of the economic cycle is probably due to the slowdown of technological development and the stagnation of productivity progress, resulting in the lack of sufficient incremental markets for capital.The nature of capital that needs to expand makes them more aggressive at this moment. Without the incremental market, they can only fight in the stock market.

The macroscopic manifestation is that there are disputes in the region, and everyone begins to quarrel for their own interests. The strong tear off the hypocritical mask of the economic upswing period, and start to raise the harvesting scythe to the weak. It seems that the economy has begun to decline, prices have begun to rise, and wealth has become more and more Development began to concentrate in the hands of a few regions and a few people, but these wealth holders will be more cautious, will not invest wantonly, but tend to protect these wealth conservatively, making the contradiction more acute...

Economic theories try their best to delay the occurrence of this extreme situation. Through the study of various laws, various theories are formed, but in the end to solve the problem, it is only possible to solve the problem by relying on the explosion of technology and a substantial increase in productivity. Smart economic means can only delay the arrival of the economic recession or make the impact as small as possible, but it is impossible to eliminate it.

Only when productivity explodes again and new industries and new tracks emerge one after another will the economy begin to pick up, and one after another myths of little-known ordinary people who succeed in counterattacks will appear.

Now various trends have shown that the world is on the eve of the explosion of productivity, at least capital has reacted, these wealth have begun to lay out for the future, and more money has been used to invest in new tracks for the future, because everyone Clearly, this is the beginning of another round of fortune reshuffle...

After all, the relatively correct development direction has been proven, and the next step is the competition of speed.

The only thing that makes many people uncomfortable is that this round of productivity explosion obviously started from China.This also means that in this round of world development, Huaxia will have more bargaining chips.

These changes are also felt by more and more ordinary people. For example, on various forums and social media, those well-known intellectuals and bloggers who have no brains to blow up the West are getting less and less marketable, and the probability of relevant remarks being ridiculed by the crowd is also low. getting bigger.Occasionally, because of some outrageous remarks, they are often scolded.

Of course, speeches are not convincing, and more people vote with their feet.The most concrete manifestation is that in the past two years, the number of people who choose to study abroad and immigrate has decreased significantly. It seems that the money of various overseas agencies is not easy to earn, and more people choose to return to China.Domestic colleges and universities have also received more inquiries about studying abroad, especially Yanbei University, Huaqing University, and the popular schools of various aerospace schools in Huaxia...

It is said that many foreign intermediary agencies have begun to summarize the key tutors of popular majors in major Chinese universities.

Obviously, these changes are Ningwei's favorite, because he has already seen the possibility of realizing a certain awesomeness he bragged about - making Huaxia Capital a world science and technology center.

Now it seems that it is only a matter of time to achieve this goal, and the trend is already obvious.

More and more colleges and universities in China have officially announced their withdrawal from the global evaluation system. C9 colleges and universities have begun to discuss redesigning a more scientific evaluation system, and have begun to organize a comprehensive ranking system for colleges and universities in Asia, and have sent invitations to many Asian countries letter.

I can’t say how much this matter has anything to do with Ning Wei, but to be honest, when the invitation letter was sent out, it was not only his tiger skin that was mentioned, but also the name of the March Foundation and the March Journal.

Of course, this was also discussed in advance.

After all, it is somewhat unruly for a group of colleges and universities to evaluate the rankings of colleges and universities by themselves, and the fairness is easily questioned.So everyone also discussed with the March Foundation, and then hit it off.The March Foundation will make a list. In the early stage, everyone does not need to have much influence, so for the time being, only the ranking of Asian universities will be made.

The preliminary plan is that if universities in other continents want to join this ranking system in the future, just like the March Foundation submits an application, and the number of universities applying for a certain continent reaches a certain number, the March Foundation will start to operate and participate in the ranking of universities on that continent tidy.

Of course that's all for later.

The key is that at this stage, the March Foundation must formulate a set of effective, fair and open university ranking evaluation methods at this stage, and implement them in Asia first.This area is under the name of March's strong artificial intelligence system, and everyone still believes that it is very competitive.

But these are still plans on paper.

And put it on paper.

For example, the Nobel Prize Committee sent an invitation letter, hoping that Ning Wei could attend this year's awards dinner. Of course, this is a routine matter.The Nobel laureates of the year are invited.

Ning Wei naturally declined, and then asked his mentor Tian Yanzhen to attend the dinner instead of him to receive the award. An interesting thing happened, the other party agreed, and Lao Tian also agreed...

So on the evening of December 12th, Swedish time, in the city hall of Stockholm, Tian Yanzhen delivered a passionate speech on behalf of Ning Wei at the awards dinner.He not only thanked the Nobel Prize review committee for the recognition of his own students, but also expressed full confidence that more and more Nobel Prize winners will emerge in China in the future.Then came rounds of applause.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, the celebrities at the scene really slapped very enthusiastically.

After the dinner, the old man happily spent a week in the Swedish capital. It is said that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences sent two people to take care of him.

If this doesn't explain anything, then the International Mathematical Union suddenly agreed to hold the next International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing, which is also a precedent in history.Yes, this news was notified to Huaxia's Mathematical Society a year in advance, leaving Huaxia with sufficient preparation time.

This is probably the reason why Lao Tian ran to Sweden happily.

If it was said before that everyone thought it was unreliable for the International Mathematical Union to inform Ning Wei so much in advance that he would win the next Fields Medal, but this decision has confirmed that Ning Wei won the Fields Medal is a certainty, Huaxia Mathematics The society didn't even have much of a hand in it, and the thing was done.

This is enough to show that some people have finally lowered their heads.

How should I put it... Maybe I still want to make a good relationship.

Although some struggles are still going on, it may be beneficial to make some preparations in advance.After all, too many eyes are now focused on Huaxia's basic physics laboratory. If there are any shocking results in one or two years, then Huaxia's capital city will not only be as simple as the center of the world, but may also become the center of the world. Future Space Science and Technology Center.

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that more and more well-known theoretical mathematicians hope to work in this laboratory in the future.When many mathematicians regard this place as a holy place for future science, it is naturally better to understand that the International Congress of Mathematicians is held here.

This is probably the power of people's support. It has nothing to do with justice, and is more driven by fame and fortune.

When it is easier to achieve results, easier to obtain funds, and easier to achieve lifelong dreams in a certain place, people will always flock to it.If Ning Wei were to evaluate it, he could only say that this is probably life...

If you stay in the trough for a long time, you should always be able to come back to life.In layman's terms, it's his turn...

After all, it's not easy for anyone, these days, Ning Wei even thinks about bitterness and sweetness.

I think that when he first went abroad to participate in the conference, although Jiang Da paid for the round trip, he gave him and Yu Xingwei a $[-] activity fund.But at that time he didn’t understand anything, he was flying in a small plane, and he could bear it for more than ten hours on the way, but he couldn’t straighten his legs, and felt his legs tremble when he got off the plane...

Until getting into the car of Senior Brother Feng who came to pick him up, he still felt his legs trembling...

Thinking of the scene back then, Ning Wei once had some bad tastes, thinking about whether to directly charter all the large planes of the world's major airlines during the week when the World Congress of Mathematicians was held in Beijing, and let these foreign Mathematicians have tried to sit in the economy class of a small plane for more than ten hours. It will definitely leave a deep impression on everyone...

In terms of economic strength, it's not impossible if you really want to do it, but it's somewhat boring and not grand enough.If this big deal is exposed, there is a high probability that it will really gain the nickname of Public Enemy in the Mathematics World.

Although Ning Wei doesn't care about these things, it's boring to think about such things as spending money and being scolded by a bunch of big bosses.

But wait a few more decades, at that time, no one would probably be qualified to call him out to scold him, so he can try at that time.There is an old saying that a man is a teenager until he dies...

But for now, these things can only be thought about now.You can try it later, of course on other levels.

This kind of thinking is also a small adjustment in daily life.What I need to face every day is actually a lot of information and trivial matters in the laboratory.

Even in many cases, trivial matters account for the majority.

Ning Wei also began to realize that he had simplified some things before.
