Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 160: I couldn't do it before? Zhang Shuo: Now I'm a mathematician!

"Li Liu Shuangyue has good grades and only wants to apply for my graduate program. We have been in contact since the beginning of the year..."

"She happens to know Zhang Shuo, and she's even very familiar with him..."

"Is it such a coincidence?"

Luo Yongjun felt that he was betrayed. He thought he was so outstanding that he asked a girl with excellent grades to contact him a year in advance and cried and insisted that she would only apply for his doctoral program.

In fact, he also wondered why the other party insisted on applying for his doctorate.

Because, Zhang Shuo.

He has brought up such an outstanding student as Zhang Shuo. Isn't it normal for graduate students from Donggang University to apply for their own doctorate? They may also hope to become the second Zhang Shuo.

But he never expected that the other party knew Zhang Shuo, or was even familiar with him, and came just for Zhang Shuo?
"Oh~~~"

"Why didn't I think of that!"

"If I thought of it..."

Luo Yongjun slapped his forehead hard, thinking that the result might still be the same, because the other party's grades were indeed excellent. For a very outstanding doctoral student, it was worth opening a place in the first batch in advance.

He looked at Liu Chengjie who came over, and then looked down at the things Liu Chengjie handed over.

Then, he sighed deeply and hit his forehead a few more times with his fist.

"Student Liu Chengjie!"

Luo Yongjun said helplessly, "You must think harder and come up with new proof methods. You must find methods and ideas in the form of this equation, rather than mechanically copying other methods."

"You are proving the problem of smoothness, not solving the equation!"

"What, you can't find it?"

"If you can find the method in the textbook or other papers, why do you still need to do research? Isn't that plagiarism?"

"Research, research, must be groundbreaking, it must be something you come up with yourself, something that no one else has thought of. I asked you to read so many papers, not to copy them!"

Liu Chengjie was almost crying after being scolded.

Luo Yongjun looked very disappointed with himself. He was really worried to death. Not to mention compared with Zhang Shuo, compared with himself when he was studying for a doctorate twenty years ago... ahem, of course he was not as good as himself!
"It seems that hard work is useless, only intelligence can do the job!"

Luo Yongjun suddenly had an epiphany, and his mood improved a little.

No matter what the reason is for that girl to get a PhD, as long as she is smart, it's fine. Otherwise, she will be like Liu Chengjie and may even shorten her life by ten years!

"Ah~~"

Luo Yongjun sighed again and said, "Student Liu Chengjie, you still haven't found a paper yet."

"Really? I advise you to use your brain more. Otherwise, when your junior schoolmate graduates, you still won't be able to graduate!"

"what?"

Liu Chengjie raised his head, his expression obviously a little dazed. He looked around and asked, "What junior sister? Where is the junior sister?"

"Oh!"

Luo Yongjun angrily slammed the information on the table and said, "Take it, go back and think about it, keep thinking about it!"

"Come back to me when you think of something new!"

the other side.

Zhang Shuo was also surprised that Li Liushuangyue wanted to study for Luo Yongjun's doctorate, and he also found it very interesting.

That schoolgirl with twin ponytails has a very lively personality. If she came to Soochow University, maybe she would be interesting?

He shook his head.

After returning to Soochow University, Zhang Shuo's mentality became calm. The 'strong electromagnetic interference hyperon decay' experiment had made a discovery, and he was very close to identifying the unknown physical phenomenon.

The international physics community now attaches great importance to "unknown physical phenomena". Various scientific research teams, institutions, and scholars are very interested in new fields, and many people will definitely participate in the research in the future.

Then the 'new physics' will develop rapidly.

This is a gradual process, but it can also be an explosive process.

All you need to do next is wait.

Zhang Shuo is just living and doing research as normal. The proof of the NS equation is too difficult and cannot be completed in a short time. He just studies it when he has time and is interested.

This mentality actually makes my thinking much better.

For example, he figured out the next direction on his own and greatly improved the research progress.

Previous studies have all been based on the relationship between two-dimensional equations and three-dimensional equations, using the two-dimensional NS equations to relate the three-dimensional NS equations to make a series of arguments.

The solution of the two-dimensional NS equation is continuous and can be understood to a certain extent as the projection of the corresponding three-dimensional NS equation.

The next step in the demonstration is to project the three-dimensional NS equation onto the plane where it intersects with another two-dimensional NS equation.

If the solution of a three-dimensional equation is continuous when projected onto two intersecting planes, it can be proved that the solution of the three-dimensional equation is continuous.

Of course, the argument is not that simple.

Zhang Shuo studies the singularity problem of the NS equation. The singularity can be understood as a "breakpoint" or an extremely special jumping point. However, it is very difficult to study the projection of the three-dimensional NS equation in terms of argumentation direction.

If we randomly pick a plane for projection, it will be impossible to carry out the argument. The research still needs to be related to the two-dimensional NS equations.

Subsequent demonstrations are also intermittent. It may require not only one plane projection, but many plane projections, and it will also involve boundary function issues. The certification process will be very complicated.

Of course, the most important thing is to find the right direction.

One idea saved 70 research coins, which greatly increased Zhang Shuo's confidence in his research, because he could figure out the key by himself.

Zhang Shuo worked continuously in the office that afternoon. It was not until six o'clock when Sun Xingli knocked on the door that he stopped his research and went to have lunch with Sun Xingli.

Sun Xingli asked, "What are you doing? You've been stuck in the office for the entire afternoon."

“It’s still the same problem.”

"NS equations, singularity?"

"Correct."

"Do you have any good ideas? Of course, if it's very important, don't tell me." Sun Xingli asked curiously.

"There's nothing secretive. I just thought of a direction." Zhang Shuo simply stated his idea, which was to make projections on multiple planes and to demonstrate it from multiple directions.

"There's really nothing secret about it."

Sun Xingli pulled the corner of his mouth and commented, "You call this a good method? I thought I could hear some novel ideas..."

He shook his head and said, "Although I haven't done in-depth research on partial differential equations, I have heard of similar argumentation methods."

"I've heard of several other methods for proving the NS equation. Would you like me to tell you about them?"

"no need."

Zhang Shuo shook his head in amusement.

Many people have studied the NS equations, and you can find various papers on them. Many people also share their ideas on the Internet. The method he mentioned is not unique, and it can even be said to be somewhat popular. The smoothness of some partial differential equations is demonstrated by the continuity of the plane projection of the solution set.

The key is whether it works and whether the direction is correct.

There are many methods and many brilliant ideas, but which research direction will work?
This is difficult to judge.

……

In recent days, the CP group's experiment is still very popular, and it has been making headlines at home and abroad while maintaining its popularity.

This is mainly because the experiments may contain new physics.

If it can be proven that a complex force field has been created, there will definitely be broad prospects for scientific research.

There is also a lot of other related news internationally.

Fermilab Director Lea Meminga announced in an interview, “We are going to fully support the strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experiment.”

"This experiment is of great significance. It may contain new physics and new laws. We must master this physics and laws."

Only one day later, Artur Kaster, the interim head of the CP group of the Nuclear Organization, also announced that a strong magnetic device would be installed on the equipment in order to study "hyperon decay in electromagnetic motion."

Artur Kaster is a professional researcher, and he said something more professional, "In a strong electromagnetic environment, hyperons will accelerate their motion, and it will be difficult to measure the signal of the decay process."

"We have discussed that we could focus the detection on the motion of the particles, which would make the signal more specific."

"If a large deviation of motion is found in the experiment, it can prove the existence of a complex force field..."

While the two major high-energy physics institutions decided to conduct a replication experiment, many physicists also began to seriously study Zhang Shuo's theory.

Some people have changed the name of the theory to "Source Point Theory" because Zhang Shuo mentioned the name "Source Point Theory" more than once when he was interviewed. As the founder of the theory, he is naturally qualified to name the theory.

However, many people still call it "Zhang Shuo's theory". Perhaps it is because the theory is only a framework for now and there is only one paper published, so it doesn't matter what it is called.

If there are a large number of papers in related fields, they can naturally be collectively called "source point theory".

While the whole world was paying attention to the experiments of the CP group, Zhang Shuo instead focused on the large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithm of the Computing Center.

The large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithm studies the differences between particle collision experiments and simulations, and the ultimate goal is to determine unknown physical phenomena.

In fact, some scholars have already raised this question.

When some members of the CP group were interviewed, they talked about unknown physical phenomena and also mentioned particle collision experiments. It can be heard from their words that some people think that the two are the same phenomenon.

Zhang Shuo also mentioned a similar topic during an interview, and Yu Fei explained during an interview that "when formulating the direction, we believed that strong electromagnetic interference hyperon decay could also create unknown physical phenomena."

This is equivalent to saying that the two unknown physical phenomena are the same.

In the Cp group's experiment, when the detection signal was so clear, the complex analysis of particle collision experiments seemed meaningless.

Some people at the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics think so.

Cui Kaiwen even called Zhang Shuo to discuss this topic. They found that after the CP group's discovery, no one seemed to care about the large-scale experimental bias analysis algorithm.

Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "Your research is also very important. In fact, the two are different."

He explained, "Maybe everyone doesn't understand it now, so they think that studying forced interference hyperon decay can discover more specific complex force fields, but this discovery cannot be studied in depth."

"A clear experimental signal does not mean a clear analysis. When it comes to exploring the principles in depth, particle collision experiments are easier."

Cui Kaiwen also didn't understand this statement. If the signal is clear, it would be harder to study the principle?

He pondered it for a long time and asked, "Is it because of the theory?"

"Part of the reason."

Zhang Shuo said, "Let me explain briefly. The analysis of the particle collision experiment is more important because the experiment only involves pure strong force destruction, while strong magnetic interference hyperon decay involves two forces, strong electromagnetic and weak forces."

"I think that with more fundamental forces involved, it will be easier to create complex force fields, but at the same time it will also be more difficult to explore their underlying principles."

This logical relationship made Cui Kevin very confused.

He couldn't understand.

In the end, he simply stopped trying to understand it and said with a wry smile, "Anyway, the research has to continue. We have to complete this algorithm. I hope it will be useful."

Of course it works!

If the strong electromagnetic interference hyperon decay experiment is more effective, there will be no need to study any large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithms.

In fact, the particle collision experiment is the core, because the complex force field of the particle collision experiment is simply created by the "destructive force".

Strong magnetic interference and weak force are two forces that create a complex force field, which can be said to be a clever way of doing things.

To give a simple example, an object weighs 100 Newtons. One person lifts the object using a force of N. If two people lift it together, how much force does each person use?

This makes the problem very complicated.

The ultimate research goal is to find the relationship between the 'source point' and the 'four basic forces'. The study of a single force is obviously much easier. As long as two forces are involved, the research will become very complicated.

In the previous life, I conducted experiments on strong electromagnetic interference and strong force. During the experiment, the strong force was easier to control than the weak force, because in order for the weak force to reach the point where it can be detected, it may require a high abundance of "nuclear fission" reaction.

That is an atomic bomb explosion, which is obviously uncontrollable.

The current research is to lay the foundation for theory and subsequent research, so naturally the direction of a single force is more important.

The deviation detection in particle collision experiments is the starting point of the 'source point theory' and other related theories.

The reason why particle collision experiments are used as the starting point is that other single forces cannot be controlled in the way they create complex force fields.

The weak force is the explosive nuclear fission, which is the atomic bomb explosion.

Electromagnetic force is the creation of ultra-high intensity electromagnetic fields. The science and technology of the past and present generations have not been able to create electromagnetic fields strong enough to produce complex force fields. Even if they could be created, they would be impossible to control and detect.

Only super-large celestial bodies that can distort space through gravity can meet this requirement.

The Liplos-Pamir equation is an analysis of the energy loss and chaotic relationship between force fields in particle collision experiments. Further research can decompose it into four sets of equations, which explain the correspondence between energy and a single force.

That is the Liplos-Pamir equations.

"The Liplos-Pamir equations are too complicated, and their expressions are not necessarily correct."

"Many mathematicians in previous lives..."

Zhang Shuo frowned as he thought about it. He thought of a key issue - he himself was a mathematician, at least in the eyes of others, he was an extremely good mathematician.

The Liplos-Pamir equation, and the Liplos-Pamir equations, are both partial differential equations.

"So is it possible to find the singularity of the solution to the equation?"

"That is to say, at what level of research on the four great powers, will there be a sudden jump in the transformation of the force field?"

His eyes suddenly widened.

Many people have studied this problem in the past, but its difficulty is no less than the proof of the NS equation, and it also involves a lot of physical problems.

I couldn’t do it in my previous life, but I can do it now!
