United Kingdom.

In a residential building on the outskirts of Edinburgh.

An old man was sitting at the wooden table by the window, facing a slightly old computer, tapping on the keyboard with the index finger one letter and one letter, and carefully editing an e-mail.

On the side of the table is a newspaper, and the date on the page is two weeks ago.

On the side of the spread, the printed news was the one that Brookhaven National Laboratory, which sparked a hot debate some time ago, announced that it had temporarily withdrawn from IMCRC.

With tens of billions of dollars in investment and more than dozens of countries participating in scientific research projects, the result is just such a big setback, which is not only in the Physics world, but also caused a lot outside the Physics world. topic of.

With a complicated mood, the old man wrote in the mail.

[…Physics should have been an enlightened subject, and it is because of respect for all opinions that we can achieve today’s prosperity. I can’t comment on whether Lu Zhou’s choice is correct, but even if he may be wrong, it is only academically immature and should not be responded to in this irrational way. 】

[… In summary, withdrawing from the experiment at this time is definitely not a sensible choice. Whether it’s for Brookhaven’s National Laboratory or for the long-standing unity of the Physics community, it’s going to be a huge injury… I don’t know if there’s any political consideration behind it, but no matter what. For the purposes of this, it should not be a bet that we built with a hundred years of trust. 】

[I hope you can reconsider this matter, maybe you will be dissatisfied. 】

[——Peter Higgs]

Peter Higgs.

The University of Edinburgh Honorary Rewards, winner of the 13 Nobel Physics Awards, and the reason for the award is because of the well-known Higgs particles.

For this name, let alone the vast majority of Physics homes, I am afraid that even people who don’t know much about physics will know a little.

Knocked down the name of the landing, the old man brows gently, looked up and looked at the dark clouds that seemed to fall at any time.

Since retirement, the body has become more and more sensitive to the weather, and everything else has become a meal. Especially the concept of time, even if you look up every morning to look at the calendar, but he still always forgets what day is today, and what to do.

It’s like this newspaper next to him.

When he saw it, the whole thing had already passed for two weeks.

When he rushed to contact his friends to inquire and search for relevant information on the Internet, after understanding the beginning and end of the matter, his mood was as heavy as the bad weather outside the window.

Then, he did what he did after he retired, and he did not drag it to tomorrow.

That is, write to his old friend Browich Professor, who is a senior at the Brookhaven Science Society.

Regardless of whether 750Gev’s characteristic peaks are worth a whole year to dig deeper, no matter whether the director of the board, Lu Zhou, is willing to start the project with the suspicion of an overhead board, at least the academic itself should not presume.

This can’t help but remind him of sixty years ago.

He remembered that he wrote a short thesis, published in CERN’s journal Physics Communications.

After thesis was published, he wrote another thesis to “Physics Communication”, describing a theoretical model he envisioned – that is, the model now known as the “Higgs mechanism”. The editor was beaten back on ridiculous grounds.

This thesis was finally published in the “Physics Quick Review”.

If it weren’t for his insistence, perhaps until today people still can’t explain how the basic particles carrying weak interactions get quality.

I have been pondering for a long time in the face of a well-written message.

Looking at the penultimate line of “in summary,” he hesitated for a moment, deleted the word from the mail, making the wording of the whole message look as embarrassing as possible, and then clicked the button sent.

“…I hope I can do something.”

No matter whether the old friend can listen to his own opinions, he has to do something within his power.

In his mouth, he muttered to himself, holding the armrest of the chair, standing up from the seat and trembled to the window.

The clouds are densely covered, but it is clear that it is dark in the morning. The neighbors across the street had closed the windows and took the pots in the yard into the house. A rainstorm seemed to fall at any time.

“…I always feel what a major event is going to happen today.”

In the mouth, he whispered to himself, and the old man stretched out his hand on the curtain.

Academic intuition is a very metaphysical thing.

I am afraid that even he himself did not think that if he said anything, he would really fulfill it…

……

2 month 2 day.

For the international Physics community, today is definitely the day of meaning out of the ordinary.

Three days have elapsed since the end of the moon’s dark night. The energy storage facilities for the accidental collider should have been recharged, and IMCRC will soon conduct the next collision test in the near future.

The experiment has not yet begun, and it has received extensive attention from the Physics community.

There is no reason for him.

Because not long ago, Lu Zhou uploaded a theory on hyperspace at Arxivwebsite, and the elementary particles that make up the atom contain a particle that exists in hyperspace.

Under normal circumstances, the particles are quite stable and hardly reveal their feet. Only in high-energy physics experiments where the collision can reach a certain magnitude, will this particular particle appear in a very unstable form in a three-dimensional space-time in the conventional sense.

At the time, when this theory was published, it immediately set off a wave of controversy in the Physics world.

In the interview, the Langsova Engler Professor, who once won the 2013 Nobel Physics Prize with Peter Higgs Professor, told the media.

“This theory may sound even more surprising than the superstring theory, even inconceivable… Although hyperspace theory is not an avant-garde point of view, M theory has made a similarity to the ‘complete universe. There should be eleven super The prophecy of the spatial dimension, but this is only a guess after all. Compared to his theory, I am actually more curious about how he proves?”

“I mean, with the current Physics experiment, the object we can observe is just the dimension we are in, or something lower than this dimension.”

“I’m the most popular particle, if we’re just a livelihood on a piece of white paper, a small ball parallel to the paper we’re on, and doing vertical motion. Suppose the light source is absolutely vertical and paper, What we can see on paper is just a stationary point on the paper.”

“If there is really a particle that exists in a high dimension, what we can see is at most its projection in 3D space, let alone analyze its complete motion trajectory.”

“So, what kind of experiment is he going to use to prove that this theory, which is almost impossible to prove, is true? Even if he is logically self-consistent.”

The biology of 2D World can never know the whole of 3D World, and the biology of 3D World is the same for the confusion of 4D World.

Regardless of whether the Langsova Engler Professor can imagine how Lu Zhou will prove his conclusions, the new round of IMCRC experiments is about to begin. At this time, he only expresses his curiosity and The negative views are not as clear as the benefits of Whittle.

After all, from the perspective of a Physics home, he is still very happy to see that Lu Zhou can solve this problem.

If he can indeed prove that the basic particles that make up the universe are indeed hidden in the high-dimensional World, many of the challenges of today’s Physics interface will be solved.

The process of waiting is so long.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the IMCRC to update the experimental data, it finally arrived at 12 am on the Beijing time, the latest experimental data was uploaded to the official database.

As the news spread, universities and universities that have cooperated with IMCRC have obtained first-hand information and started processing raw data.

Even the Brookhaven National Laboratory of OB, even though it has already announced a temporary withdrawal from the program, is still cheeky to download the data.

The results of the experiment were also surprisingly amazing.

Just as the entire Physics community was amazed at the results of this experiment, a report hosted by Lu Zhou himself had already started at the headquarters of IMCRC…
