Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 163 Returning home in glory and establishing the Origin Point Theory Research Office!
The Science and Technology Awards Conference ended.

Soochow University released the information as soon as possible, including on the university’s official website, accounts on public opinion websites, and also released an announcement of the award information.

The press release was five thousand words long.

It includes a detailed introduction of Zhang Shuo personally, as well as a detailed explanation of the honor of the first prize in natural sciences. It also includes an introduction to the numerical simulation research of the NS equation, including its impact on engineering applications and the evaluation of the research by various famous scholars, etc.

At the same time, there are also many media reports.

The prime-time news program that day reported on the Science and Technology Awards Conference, and the scene of Zhang Shuo standing on the stage and accepting the award from the leader was also included.

Later, there are several shots that are specifically directed at Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo walked off the stage and returned to his seat, whispering with Ying Zhaohua next to him, and both appeared in the news report.

Various media outlets also conducted written and video reports, which contained a lot of content, and follow-up interviews also appeared in the media.

During the interview, Zhang Shuo mentioned the NS equation again.

Some news reports have explained the singularity problem of the NS equations and the differences between research and numerical simulation of the NS equations.

The two are not the same.

The singularity problem of the NS equation cannot be said to be a pure mathematical subject, but Zhang Shuo's research is in the direction of pure mathematics. To a certain extent, it can be understood as studying the NS equation problem, one of the seven major mathematical conjectures of the millennium.

Numerical simulation can be classified as applied research, which is the study of the "approximate solution set" of the NS equations.

In application, a strong solution is of course better, but the strong solution required by the NS equation is too difficult.

Zhang Shuo won the first prize in natural sciences, which is indeed an honor worth writing about.

This is also the only first prize in natural science awarded by the Science and Technology Awards Conference in the past three years.

In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to select the first prize in natural sciences. If the research does not meet certain standards or have a certain influence, it is impossible to win the prize.

In the Science and Technology Awards Conference, an individual who wins the first prize in natural sciences can be said to be the 'first person'. The only thing that can be compared to it is the Highest Science and Technology Award, but the Highest Science and Technology Award means lifelong recognition and will only be awarded to elderly people.

This award is not for research projects, but for an individual's lifelong contribution to science, so there is no need for comparison.

The media reports also mentioned Zhang Shuo's "research on the theory of electromagnetic force and gravity", but the reports were very vague.

Firstly, the reporters simply couldn’t understand it, and secondly, it had nothing to do with the content of the award.

The relevant reports were still noticed by the physics community.

Zhang Shuo talked about the "relationship between electromagnetic force and gravitational force". In conventional physics cognition, the four major forces exist independently and have no direct connection.

A physicist explained, "In the theoretical model studied by Zhang Shuo, the four fundamental forces have an intersection point, and it can even be understood that the four major forces have a unified starting point."

"This is the 'source point'. The name of the theory is the source point theory."

"What Zhang Shuo talked about, 'the relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity', is the study of the commonalities between the two fundamental forces, and it is also a continuation of his research on the theoretical framework."

If we talked about the same research before, it would definitely attract a lot of opposition, or even a lot of disdain.

For example, Zhang Shuo initially analyzed small particle collision experiments and discovered the "simulation deviation problem", and talked about the possibility of the existence of a "chaotic force field".

Tan Zhiming sarcastically commented that he "did not understand physics".

It's different now.

One reason is Zhang Shuo’s personal influence. He is already a world-recognized top mathematician and has a great influence in the field of high-energy physics.

When people of different status say the same thing, it will give people different feelings.

Secondly, the Cp group's strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experiment is based on Zhang Shuo's theory, and the experiment measured the deviation of particle motion.

In this case, no one dares to say that there is something wrong with Zhang Shuo's theory.

Of course, most people still classify the research directly as theoretical, just like string theory. No matter how wonderful the research and mathematical content are, it is impossible to prove the contents including eleven-dimensional space and membrane universe.

The physics community is still very concerned about the CP group's experiments.

A new experiment is scheduled for early next year.

When the test experiments were conducted before, not many people cared. But it was different after the discovery. Many scholars applied to participate in the experimental work.

There was also a huge reaction internationally.

The Nuclear Organization sent a special team to discuss the experiment with the Physics Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics. They hope to send a group to participate in the experiment.

This is what we are here for.

The nuclear organization is also preparing to conduct a strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experiment. They need to come and take a look at the experimental design and detection content of the CP group so that they can replicate the experiment more easily.

The Institute of High Energy Physics has a cooperative relationship with the Organization for Nuclear Research.

The CNS international cooperation group of all nuclear organizations in high energy can exchange data with the nuclear organizations. After Fabiola Gianotti, the head of the nuclear organization, took office, he also visited the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Now the Nuclear Organization wants to participate in the experiment, which normally is no problem, and the CP team also hopes that the Nuclear Organization can successfully replicate the experiment.

By then, the phenomenon of 'particle motion deviation' will be confirmed.

There is another big news from the Institute of High Energy Physics. The Computing Center announced the successful testing of a large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithm and released a series of test data.

These include deviation values, energy loss, etc.

The computing center is preparing to carry out computational analysis of large quantities of particle collision experimental data.

After the CP group's experiments, the computing center received less attention, but it is still very important. The research is related to the confirmation of unknown physical phenomena in particle collision experiments. No research has shown that the unknown physical phenomena in particle collision experiments and the particle motion deviations discovered by the CP group are the same phenomenon.

This needs further research to prove.

The team sent by the Nuclear Organization is also discussing data exchange cooperation with the Institute of High Energy Physics, that is, providing the Institute of High Energy Physics with internal data of particle collision experiments so that they can analyze the large-scale experiments of the Nuclear Organization.

At the same time, they also participated in the experiments of the cp group.

This is also a win-win cooperation.

Cui Kaiwen called Zhang Shuo and told him about recent developments.

Zhang Shuo is also very much looking forward to it.

In the eyes of others, large-scale experimental bias analysis algorithms aim to identify unknown physical phenomena in particle collision experiments.

Zhang Shuo doesn't think so.

Once the computing center has completed data analysis of many large-scale particle collision experiments, it can use this as a basis for calculations and publish related research.

That's the Liplos-Pamir equation.

The Liplos-Pamir equation is the origin of the theory, which can greatly improve the theoretical content.

Of course, when it was released, it was not the 'Liplaus-Pamir equation', but the Zhang equation?

While Zhang Shuo was thinking, he heard Cui Kaiwen say, "After completing a large amount of data analysis, the unknown physical phenomenon will be determined. At that time, we will go down in history."

"We were the first to publish this phenomenon, you, me, and Bao Hexing!"

"Will we win a physics award?" Cui Kaiwen is looking forward to this. He is a scholar with a computer-oriented mindset. Even when he worked at the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics, he never dared to think about winning a physics award.

Zhang Shuo also reacted and said with a smile, "Maybe, if it is proven to exist in the future."

“It must exist!”

"For our Physics Award!"

Cui Kaiwen said in a firm tone.

At the office door, Cao Mengbo stopped and listened for a few seconds, then covered his heart with his hands.

It’s so uncomfortable!
He did not attend the ICHEP meeting, and the computing center did not follow the expected process for publishing its results. Instead, it suddenly announced the discovery of new physical phenomena.

The signatures are Zhang Shuo, Cui Kaiwen and Bao Hexing.

When he missed the signature, Cao Mengbo just smiled faintly and didn't care too much. Now he doesn't think so anymore.

This will go down in history!

In the future, records of unknown physical phenomena may be like this: "XXX physical phenomenon, discovered by Zhang Shuo, Bao Hexing and Cui Kaiwen. Their discovery has opened up new directions for physics, developed new disciplines, and made outstanding contributions to human scientific and technological breakthroughs..."

Cao Mengbo felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Now that we have completed the large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithm, it may be possible to prove the existence of unknown physical phenomena in the future.

So……

"In the future, you must be bold in what you say and in publishing your results!"

"Next time you are interviewed or give a report at an academic conference, you must not be too modest and directly explain that you have discovered a new phenomenon!"

"Say it with great certainty, in a high-profile manner..."

"By then, maybe my name will be mentioned in the discovery of new physical phenomena? I am the person directly responsible for the analysis algorithm project!"

……

While the outside world was still immersed in reports about the first prize in natural sciences and new physics discoveries, Zhang Shuo returned home in a low-key manner.

This can be considered a glorious return home.

In just over a year, I went from being an embarrassed doctoral student whose master's degree was revoked to a scholar who won the first prize in natural sciences and has a huge influence internationally. The change in identity brought about great changes.

When Zhang Shuo returned home and met his parents in this life, the intimacy in his memories was awakened, but he also felt a little embarrassed. However, parents must be taken care of, and it is also the responsibility of children.

Although he returned home very low-key, some well-informed people still knew about it.

After that, people kept coming to visit, including some government officials, relatives and friends, and even some corporate representatives who wanted to discuss cooperation, as if they regarded Zhang Shuo as a star who would sign an endorsement contract.

These were directly rejected by Zhang Shuo.

He stayed at home peacefully for a week, spent the New Year with his parents, had dinner with relatives and friends, took special care of his parents' face, and left some money before leaving.

After returning to school, he felt a different mood.

A new year means new research and also the beginning of a new chapter.

First of all, I faced a lot of persuasion from administrators and professors.

"The higher-ups are planning to build the Sudong Mathematical Science Center. You are the director of the mathematics center. How can you not agree to this?"

"This is a research center built around you!"

"By then, the new mathematics center will radiate the entire Nanjiang Province and become an influential academic institution at home and abroad, just like the Donggang Mathematics Center..."

"Ula Ula~~~"

This is a major concern of the School of Mathematics at Soochow University.

Zhang Shuo’s personal influence is already very great.

He won the first prize in natural sciences, which represents the highest honor in domestic scientific research. He is likely to win the Fields Medal in the future and become one of the most famous mathematicians in the world.

If we build a mathematics center around him now, it will surely develop rapidly.

Zhang Shuo did not comment on this.

He was not interested in being the director of the mathematics center.

If he were over 20, he might choose to agree, but he was only in his s and still at the age where he could focus on research and development. In addition, and very importantly, he was more interested in theoretical physics, or more precisely, "The Theory of Source Points".

Zhang Qiu Sheng and Tan Youming were both in the office.

Zhang Shuo said seriously, "If we must build an academic institution, it doesn't have to be a mathematics center. We can consider building a theoretical physics research center, or a source point theory research center."

"Mathematics research centers are all pretty much the same. The Institute for Advanced Study is already good, so there's no particular point in building another one."

"If there is a center for the origin theory research, it can attract many theoretical physics scholars to join. Once the theory is developed, its influence will definitely be greater."

Tan Youming suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He knew that Zhang Shuo was interested in theoretical physics, but he didn't expect it to reach such a level.

Center for Theoretical Physics Research?

That has nothing to do with the School of Mathematics!
Zhang Qiu Sheng is the vice president of Soochow University. He and Tan Youming are in different positions, so naturally they have different views.

Whether it is the construction of a theoretical physics research center or a mathematics research center, it is a new research institution and is directly related to Soochow University.

He felt that what Zhang Shuo said made sense.

Math centers, more or less the same.

The largest theoretical physics research center in the country is the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Academy of Sciences. It is hard to say that the theoretical physics institutions affiliated with other universities have any influence, even the Theoretical Physics Office of the Institute of High Energy Physics.

If a theoretical physics research center is built and truly developed, the influence of a single discipline will definitely be greater than that of a mathematics center.

The key point is, can it be developed?
Of course, building a large scientific research institution is not something that can be decided with just a few words.

Zhang Qiu Sheng knew Zhang Shuo's attitude, so he left to discuss it with others.

Tan Youming stayed behind, his brain cells were consuming rapidly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Zhang Shuo, how about this, we set up an 'Origin Point Theory Research Office' in the High Court first?"

"You are the only one with talent in this field for now."

"With the 'Source Point Theory Research Office', we can attract some talents related to theoretical physics to join us and develop slowly."

Zhang Shuo thought about it and nodded, thinking it made sense. "This method is good. Large scientific research institutions are a matter for the future."

“It’s good to have an office and develop slowly.”

When Tan Youming saw Zhang Shuo agreed, he immediately smiled.

If a large-scale theoretical physics research center is to be built, it will certainly have nothing to do with the School of Mathematics or the Institute for Advanced Study. However, if an "Origin Point Theory Research Office" is established and directly registered under the name of the High Court, it will have a direct relationship with the High Court.

As for the origin theory, isn’t it mathematics?
Theoretical physics is actually a branch of mathematics!
