Chapter 1129: Greater upheaval brewing in physics

The storm on the unified theory of algebra and geometry has not completely subsided. The completion ceremony and related meetings of the lunar hadron collider will begin soon.

Successive blockbusters of news are coming, one after another, washing people's eyes, shaking people's brains, and making people overwhelmed.

If it is outside the academic circle, it is better, whether it is the Grand Unified Theory or any collider, it may not be more shocking than a press conference on the phantom system, or even a blog post updated by a beta tester. And more sought after.

But if you are in the academic circle, you can clearly feel that this feeling of being pushed forward by a huge force majeure.

It's as if what they were discussing yesterday is no longer a problem today, and then they have to face and adapt to new issues.

Countless doctors were postponed to graduate, some of them were forced, and some of them applied for the initiative. After all, after the unified theory was completed, especially about the algebraic geometry, there was too much to learn again.

Many people even suffer from anxiety as a result, relying on drugs to soothe tired and fragile nerves.

At the same time, as the birthplace of the Grand Unification Theory, it was also the first university to offer this course. The opportunity to visit Jinling University for a while can be described as difficult to obtain.

From the beginning, as long as you apply, you can report, and the last person to register has already formed a long line. Even those who have already registered, they have to "add money", and it only takes less than half a month.

On the physical side, the situation is similar.

The completion of the lunar hadron collider may not have a great impact on the physics department of Jinling University, but the impact on IMCRC is huge.

Just a year ago, or even half a year ago, it was quite difficult to get an opportunity to visit and exchange with CERN, or even to volunteer.

Now this scene seems to be copied to the pearl in the western Pacific.

Every day, IMCRC receives tens of thousands of applications from all over the world. Some hope to come here to apply for positions, visits and exchanges, start lectures, etc., and some are applications for experiments. I hope to use the moon hadron collider. Powerful features to verify some of the whimsy of the microcosm, the quantum world.

When receiving these applications, even Luo Wenxuan, who had met many professors in the world, was surprised.

If it weren't for his job needs and he saw the mountain of applications, he wouldn't even know that so many people in this world are studying physics.

Does this discipline really need so many people?

He had never doubted this before, and now he began to doubt it.

The conference will be held on December 18.

Although it is only one week away from the Western New Year, that is, Christmas, if you accidentally miss the reunion with your family, no one has the slightest complaint.

It is not easy to get the qualification to participate in this grand event.

As early as two months ago, when the IMCRC applied to the Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center for the right to use the venue, this top event destined to completely change the future high-energy physics community focused on the eyes of the world.

With the exception of invited scholars, the vast majority of people who have applied for themselves to join this society have been in line since then ...

...

Princeton Advanced Institute.

In a plain, even monotonous, nostalgic office, Professor Deligne, sitting at his desk, was staring at a piece of draft paper with half-line calculations, frowning and meditating.

It's been almost a week since that report was over.

He has been thinking about this problem on paper these days, but he still has no clue until now.

Sure enough, I still have to serve old.

With a sigh in his heart, Professor Deligne shook his head.

Although his knowledge has not deteriorated to the level of ordinary people with his eyesight, but he has been able to clearly feel that in accepting new things, Beijing has gradually begun to feel powerless.

Just as he was going to set the issue aside for a while and make a cup of coffee for himself, a knock came outside the office.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Professor Deligne sighed gently, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, raised his head, and said in a clear voice.

"The door is unlocked, please come in."

The door opened, and an old man with slightly thin hair and a slightly thin head came in with an easy-going smile on his face.

"My old friend, I heard you are back from China?"

"I came back a few days ago," seeing Witten, thinking that he would probably have nothing important to discuss with himself. Professor Deligne put on his glasses again, and re-drew the piece of draft paper that had only half a line of formula Pick it up.

He noticed an expression of interest on Witten's face, noticing his movements, and asked.

"What are you studying?"

Deligne: "That dissertation on the unified theory of algebra and geometry ... that is the one that has stirred academic circles during this time. I recommend you to take a good look. Although I don't know if you are still studying mathematics, but Dare to say that it will definitely help your research. "

Witten: "Don't you just come back from Hua Guo? Haven't understood?"

"The value of this essay is not only understood, it is also excavated."

Professor Deligne smiled slightly, with a little praise and emotion in his eyes, and sighed softly, and continued, "This forty-page paper not only demonstrates the unified theory of algebraic geometry, but also proposes A series of related propositions, most of which are unproven, which is the so-called conjecture ... I did not expect that he would not only solve the problems we have been troubled for thousands of years, but even the road for the next century or even thousands of years. He has pointed out to the latecomers how to go. "

Witten asked with interest: "So you're studying Lu's conjecture?"

"I just think these questions are quite interesting, so I took them out during this time," and didn't seem to want to admit that he was stumped by these questions. Professor Deligne frowned and looked at him and asked, "... … Any questions about these? "

Witten said with a smile: "Actually nothing, just come to see my old friend before the trip, by the way ... remind him about the gambling contract."

Looking at the smile on the face of this old guy, Professor Deligne couldn't help twitching, but in the end, he didn't settle the account. He opened the drawer with a face, and took out a notebook with a hard paper cover from the inside. .

"take it."

Ecstatically took this research note on Goldbach's conjecture ~ www.readwn.com ~ Weiteng looked at it with interest.

Although he has not studied the ancient, esoteric and pure art of number theory, no one knows the value of this note more than he does.

"It's so clean ... isn't it a fake?"

Professor Deligne said flatly: "The next time you go to China, you can drop by Jinling and ask him to ask this question in person."

"Haha, I'm just kidding." Wittenhaha smiled, paused for a moment, and continued, "Speaking of it, I'm going to China soon."

Deligne: "That collider is done?"

Witten nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes."

"Can't believe it," Deligne smashed his tongue. "They really repaired the collider to the moon."

Putting that note in his arms, Professor Witten smiled, and his tone came with a little emotion.

"The magic of technology is so fascinating ... if I was born decades later, maybe another 50 years, the problems we are worrying about are no longer problems."

Professor Deligne said dismissively.

"Don't worry, as long as you choose this line, there will be new trouble waiting for you."

Slightly hesitated, Professor Witten said with a smile.

"This is also true."

Mathematics is undergoing a upheaval.

As old problems are solved, more new problems will surely be born.

And physics, why not?

He has foreseen this day since the problem of the Young Mills equation was solved and the "Unified Theory of Strong Electricity" was born.

As long as the person's footsteps have not stopped.

This day will come sooner or later.
