Chapter 184 Super nuclear bomb? Mystery of the explosion, controversy of the Nobel Committee!
Liang Zhenguo's view is not a "minority" one. In fact, many people in the international mathematical physics community hold this view.

Theoretical physics is recognized as a discipline at the top of the pyramid, but at the same time, it is very difficult for individual theoretical physics research to gain widespread recognition in the academic community.

The most typical example is string theory.

Currently in the international physics community, string theory can be said to be a unique field of theoretical physics, attracting a large number of top talents to join the research.

The mathematical proof of string theory also provides a certain mathematical foundation for theories such as the standard model of particles, dark matter, and antimatter.

Even so, there are still many scholars who do not accept string theory.

Most of them believe that string theory is unrealistic and even the supersymmetry problem cannot be verified. Furthermore, the eleven-dimensional space and membrane universe are purely mathematical problems and have nothing to do with physics.

The "absurdity" of Zhang Shuo's "Fundamental Force Relationship Framework" lies mainly in the assumption that there is some commonality or some specific connection between the four basic forces.

This is a theory that goes against existing basic knowledge of physics.

Even though theory provides support for the CP group's experiments, new discoveries are not necessarily due to theory, and the phenomena and analysis discovered require further research.

However, not all of Zhang Shuo’s theoretical research is unrecognized. "Gauge Theory of Energy Force Field" is a research result that is generally recognized by the physics community.

Some people even compare the "Energy Force Field Gauge Theory" with the "Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory" and believe that the "Energy Force Field Gauge Theory" will become the basic theory for humans to further analyze the universe and particles.

Therefore, many physicists have begun to conduct research based on the "Energy Force Field Gauge Theory".

The "Basic Force Relationship Framework" is not recognized, and the "Electromagnetic Force and Gravitational Theory Correlation Model" that deepens its foundation is naturally just flipped through and discussed.

That's it.

So when the public opinion was hotly discussing gravity manufacturing technology, the general opinion in the academic circle was completely different. Most people only recognized its wonderful mathematical content. As for the research itself, because the mathematical relationship was too complicated, the research could not be verified by experiments, and it could only be a pure theory.

This is the problem Zhang Shuo encountered.

When a theoretical research is generally recognized, there is no big problem in applying experiments to prove it.

On the contrary, most scholars do not agree with it and have doubts about the research itself, so it is very difficult to apply for large-scale experiments.

Zhang Shuo was not in a hurry either.

In the previous life, the origin theory was widely recognized internationally, and in this life, his research has gone a step further and will surely be gradually recognized by more people.

For the time being, he plans to consolidate the content of the theory and use the funds to conduct some small experiments to study the weak solution set of the relationship between electromagnetism and gravity.

Once you have a foundation, you will be more targeted when applying for experiments and doing research.

When studying the problem of weak solution sets related to electromagnetic force and gravity, he also sorted out his previous theories, especially the theoretical basis of the relationship between electromagnetic force and strong force.

This is the basis of the experiment in the previous life.

The weakened correlation between electromagnetic force and strong force supports the strong electromagnetic interference experiment. The experimental group hopes to find a clear signal of correlation in order to confirm the "Source Point Theory". Now they want to study the strong correlation solution set of electromagnetic force and gravity. The research direction and goals are different.

The direction is now clearer and the theoretical basis is more complete.

By using the "gravity returning to zero" as a special argument and linking it to the electromagnetic force and strong force weakening relationship in the previous life, the expression of strong force can be deduced.

Zhang Shuo sat in his office, staring at the mathematical formula on the manuscript paper with a frown on his face. He then did the calculation again very carefully and used a computer to derive the value.

When he saw the exponential curve simulated by the computer, his eyes suddenly became very complicated.

"So that's it."

Zhang Shuo murmured, "Although the derivation is not perfect, it is just substituting numerical values ​​for calculation, but..."

"It's very possible!"

"Strong splitting will inevitably release a lot of energy, and under certain circumstances, the 'strong splitting effect' will grow exponentially."

"That's why the explosion happened!"

This conclusion was discovered by mathematically weakening the relationship and substituting specific numerical values, which means that the proof is very incomplete, but the problem is that the possibility is very high.

Connect with memory, connect with experimental explosion, and then connect with existing theoretical content...

Everything supports this conclusion!

He found the reason for the explosion in his previous life's experiment. Their experiment was successful, and it was precisely because of its success that the strong splitting caused a chain reaction that led to a violent explosion.

Strong force splitting is the splitting of protons and neutrons into individual quarks.

A large amount of energy will inevitably be released in this process. Even though it is impossible to make accurate calculations due to the lack of theory related to strong forces, the energy intensity released by splitting them separately will definitely be thousands, tens of thousands, or even more times that of nuclear fission or even nuclear fusion...

Even if the particles used in the experiment are sparsely arranged, the exponential energy burst is enough to cause a small explosion.

After completing the calculations, Zhang Shuo was silent for a long time, and finally decided to do some research.

Create a task -

【Task 1】

[Research project name: Theoretical study of strong splitting in high electromagnetic environment (difficulty assessment: B). ]

(The mission can be upgraded to A-level.)
【Progress: 37.3%.】

(The task can be canceled. Currently, the number of scientific research coins required to cancel the task is 0.)
(The remaining progress requires 252 scientific research coins.)
"The mission can be upgraded to A-level?"

"That is, research can go further to find strong associations."

"If the research can be completed, can we create a new, super-powerful nuclear/bomb?"

Zhang Shuo suddenly felt guilty as he thought about it, but the research had to be completed.

One is to verify the theory.

Secondly, the research is related to the "mystery of the explosion" in the previous life. He must understand why the explosion occurred, which is equivalent to finding out the cause of "his" own death.

As for the extremely powerful nuclear bomb...

Humanity already has enough nuclear bombs to wipe out humanity itself, so adding one more species doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Institute of High Energy Physics, Computing Center.

Wu Jianning, Cao Mengbo, Gao Hongli and others were all there. They were holding a meeting on the interim computational results of a large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithm.

In recent months, they have continued to cooperate with nuclear organizations, obtained a series of detailed experimental data, and analyzed the data.

The results of each analysis are consistent with the "Energy Force Field Standard Theory".

This result has been accepted by everyone.

The "Energy Force Field Gauge Theory" also gained more recognition and expanded its influence in the physics community.

At the same time, the calculation results also found the phenomenon predicted by Zhang Shuo:

"When the data is aggregated, it is found that the deviation is infinitely close to a fixed value."

This is Cao Mengbo’s summary.

He continued very seriously, "This shows that unknown physical phenomena do exist in particle collision experiments. After a few more analyses, we can increase the confidence level to 5 sigma." 5σ (sigma) is the confidence level standard for confirming physical discoveries, which means that there is sufficient evidence to prove that the observed phenomena are not caused by random fluctuations, and the confidence probability is approximately 99.999945%.

If the confidence level can be raised to 5σ, the unknown physical phenomena in particle collision experiments can be determined.

Although the existence of unknown physical phenomena in particle collision experiments is generally believed internationally, there is a difference between belief and confirmation. Once confirmed, the phenomenon can be defined and accepted by the entire physics community.

In terms of unknown physical phenomena, the phenomena of the CP group's strong electromagnetic interference hyperon decay experiment are clearer, and whether the phenomena caused by the two are the same phenomenon is also the goal of experimental research.

This is not easy to confirm, mainly because the phenomenon of the cp group is too clear.

The phenomena of particle collision experiments require data analysis.

However, most scholars engaged in high-energy physics experimental research have already believed that the two are the same phenomenon.

Rinat Berlin, leader of the Nuclear Organization collaboration and an internationally renowned physicist, also attended the meeting at the Computing Center and said, "Our CP group is also conducting the same experiment, hoping to merge the two unknown phenomena together."

"This phenomenon can be temporarily called a 'chaotic force field', which is also the definition given by Professor Zhang Shuo."

Others recognized the name.

Some participants were excited when they heard the news, for example, Bao Hexing and Cui Kaiwen. The unknown physical phenomenon was announced at the ICHEP conference.

At that time, they all signed their names.

If the unknown physical phenomenon is identified, will they win a Nobel Prize in Physics?

Many people also thought of this, and couldn't help but look at Bao Hexing and Cui Kaiwen, with deep envy and jealousy in their eyes...

hate it!

Cao Mengbo's teeth were almost broken from biting.

One thing he regretted greatly was not attending the ICHEP conference, otherwise could he have dreamed of winning the Nobel Prize?
Even if you don’t win the prize in the end, just being able to imagine is amazing!
……

stockholm.

Anders Oquist, head of the Nobel Prize in Physics committee, is also considering this issue.

October is approaching.

In an office on the second floor of the research building of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Anders Oquis sat quietly, carefully looking at the paper in his hand, which was Zhang Shuo's "Theoretical Correlation Model between Electromagnetism and Gravitation" published in the Journal of High Energy Physics.

"Theoretical physics, shaping the relationship between the two fundamental forces, is truly an amazing study."

Anders Oquis sighed.

Sitting across from him was Thorbjörn Kvist, a colleague at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and a member of the Nobel Prize Committee for Physics.

Thorbjörn Kvist shook his head and said, "I have read the paper. The mathematical arguments are very interesting and the relationships they portray seem to be real."

"But it's impossible to verify, no different from anything else."

He paused for a moment and continued, "We should be more concerned with the 'Energy Force Field Standard Theory' and the unknown physical phenomena discovered in particle collision experiments."

"I heard from Norn that they are about to confirm it."

‘Over there’ refers to the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Anders Oquis nodded and said, "If the phenomenon can be confirmed, it will definitely be a Nobel Prize."

"No, probably more than one."

Thorbjörn Kvist said, "The discovery of a completely new physical phenomenon and the gauge theory of energy and force fields, both experimentally and theoretically, just giving one award is not enough to convince the public."

"But that was a team discovery, we can't give the award to a physics center," said Anders Oquis.

Thorbjörn Kvist thought for a moment and suddenly said, "It seems that there were three people who first announced this phenomenon: two computer engineers and Zhang Shuo."

“Do you think computer engineers should be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics?”

"If the selection takes experimental findings into consideration, then it's fine." Kvist sighed and then said, "It's really a headache. Zhang Shuo is only 26 years old."

This is also a headache.

In the past two years, Zhang Shuo has become the hottest name in the international mathematics and physics circles.

Since the beginning of this year, the Nobel Prize in Physics Committee has held several meetings for him, but in the end they failed to reach a consensus on "evaluation" and "determination of results".

If it was a mathematics award, the Nobel Committee would not hesitate because Zhang Shuo had already won the Fields Award, but the physics award was different.

There is no doubt that a completely new physical discovery and a summary of particle collision experiments, namely the energy force field gauge theory, are enough to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

However, the awards also have to consider the issue of 'queuing'.

Many physics research projects in the world that meet the award-winning standards require decades of waiting. Many physicists win awards at the end of their lives based on their research results when they were young.

So, age is also an issue.

Zhang Shuo is too young, and many people think that even if an unknown physical phenomenon is confirmed, he should "queue up" instead of cutting in line to win the award.

Anders Oquis also thinks so. "A completely new physical discovery and theoretical research that has caused a stir in the physics world are indeed outstanding enough, but the research is too 'young'."

"That physical discovery has not yet been confirmed, and the energy force field specification theory also requires more in-depth research."

Thorbjorn disagreed, retorting, “What could be more important than a completely new discovery in physics?”

"This discovery may allow humanity to understand completely new physics and open up a whole new field."

"You just said 'maybe', right?" Anders Oquis said, "And he is too young, only in his 20s..."

"Age shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Age is certainly not a problem, but unless one is exceptionally outstanding, the impact of one's research results is hard to judge, and as for the so-called creation of new fields, at least not yet."

“This is why we can’t reach an agreement.” Thorbjorn Kvist shook his head helplessly.

He is old.

But the Nobel Prize Committee in Physics is older than he is, and tends to favor "elderly" people when judging the prize.

Age can actually be a factor that affects evaluation?

Zhang Shuo is only 26 years old and has enough time to wait, but he should not be so stubborn in judging the award. Some people on the committee share his opinion.

"wait?"

Thorbjorn curled his lips sarcastically. Even if he went to wait, how long could he delay?

How attractive is the new field of physics?

In the 21st century, when physical theory has not developed for a long time, many scholars will rush to squeeze in. Perhaps by next year, a large number of research results will appear, and there may be many breakthroughs in experiments.

By then, there will still be awards to be given, right?
