From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 189 Shock the world a few more times

In the dormitory of Lin Xiao at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris.

After "On Multidimensional Fields and Their Superposition of Situations" was submitted to "Physical Review Letters", he was not complacent about his achievements.

Of course he knew how shocking the world he had come up with was.

Even he himself was shocked that he had completed this theory by accident.

Didn't he just want to find out the cause of a vacuum catastrophe, but who would have thought that a multi-dimensional space would be created by accident.

In the process of demonstrating, he found that the multidimensional space must be topologically to make the energy limit calculation formula of the vacuum zero point energy more harmonious, so after some complicated operations, he finally succeeded in completing it through the influence of the multidimensional space. Explanation of Vacuum Cataclysm.

After getting this point, he continued to make bold speculations, and finally completed the theoretical foundation of multi-dimensional field theory, in which the 'fields' of each dimension overlapped together, so this is the so-called superposition of situations.

All in all, this very groundbreaking and breakthrough theory was completely accidental.

Probably, it's like "a good sentence is born naturally, and a good hand can get it by chance".

Of course, the "skillful hand" that is obtained by chance must also be possessed by a true genius, so it is accidental but inevitable that Lin Xiao can make it.

In addition, maybe this theory is too important, or it is still too complicated for this world, so that the system did not give Lin Xiao a reward first.

"In view of the fact that the host's multidimensional field theory is too advanced, and it was completed when the host's physics level was only level 2, and did not use any system auxiliary skills, in order to motivate the host to continue research, the system decided to suspend the distribution of rewards to the host , and announced a reward condition at the same time: When the host finds fifteen instances that can testify to the multidimensional field theory, the system will provide the host with richer rewards. The current host has found one, which is [Vacuum Cataclysm]. Tip: The host does not need to find it by himself, any achievement that can confirm the multidimensional field theory, even if it is the achievement of others, can also be counted in this case."

These are the original words of the system after Lin Xiao completed the multidimensional field theory.

When he heard the request made by the system, he almost wanted to scold his mother on the spot. Isn't this cheating?

Fifteen instances, how long will it take?
Is this to let him find the Year of the Monkey?
Just saying that his speculations about dark matter and dark energy in the theory cannot be verified, because human beings are still unable to directly observe dark matter, so in this regard, there is still a lot of room for verification of his predictions. difficulty.

However, after complaining for a long time, relying on Lin Xiao's intelligence, he quickly figured out a shortcut on how to solve this problem.

That is to calculate the mass of the particle.

In the current standard model, except for photons and gluons, which have no mass, the other fifteen kinds of particles are all considered to have mass.

Among them, twelve particles have been measured by scientists.

Doesn't this mean that if Lin Xiao can find a way to use his own multidimensional field theory to calculate the mass of these particles, as long as the result conforms to these measurement results, isn't it equivalent to finding an example!

Moreover, the system has thoughtfully eliminated three of the particles whose mass has not been fully determined, that is, three types of neutrinos.

In this case, twelve particles whose mass has been measured, plus photons and gluons without mass, are fourteen demonstrations, and one vacuum catastrophe is added, that is fifteen.

Therefore, it can be inferred from this that the system probably hopes that he can find a method to calculate the mass of all particles.

After all, the system is also called a support device, although this support device is mostly just giving him some pointers.

So, for so many days, Lin Xiao has been carrying out the next theoretical improvement.

To predict the mass of particles, the standard model is naturally required, and after introducing the standard model into his multidimensional field theory, he once again made a shocking discovery.

Because, he introduced more than ten unknowns into it.

Here, an unknown number means a kind of particle. Of course, this does not mean that they still have more than 30 particles that have not been discovered, but that this particle appears for the dimension. The higher the dimension, the more types of particles there are .

For example, in the fourth dimension, there are several more than their third dimension.

And the fifth dimension is several more than the fourth dimension. As for the sixth dimension, Lin Xiao really has no way to find it out.

Of course, there is no guarantee whether the number of "more than ten" deduced by him is correct, because he lacks the understanding of various properties of the fourth dimension. The particles he deduced belong to high dimensions only because there must be such Several kinds of particles, their third dimension can be as harmonious as it is now, and there will be no space-time collapse, or black holes everywhere, or the situation that causes the star to not exist, etc.

In addition, he also predicted several kinds of particles that people have been looking for, such as gravitons. Among the unknowns he derived, he found such an unknown number, which is very consistent with the prediction of gravitons in the field of quantum mechanics.

Of course, Lin Xiao’s theory did not find conclusive theoretical evidence to prove this point, because it is just an unknown quantity, and the existence of gravitons is completely contrary to the theory of relativity. According to the theory of relativity, gravity is a phenomenon of space-time curvature. In particular, it has also been verified experimentally.

However, these issues are not so important anymore. The important thing is that Lin Xiao has already fulfilled his primary goal.

That is to say, by using the multidimensional field theory, a method for calculating the mass of particles is derived.

Mass comes from spontaneous symmetry breaking, which in turn comes from the Higgs mechanism, so through it, Lin Xiao found an equation to accurately predict the mass of particles.

Now, he only needs to input all kinds of data, and then through computer calculation, he can find all the results.

"It's finally the last step."

Lin Xiao sighed with emotion. Next, he only needs to input the fourteen particles on the standard model whose mass has been basically determined, and he will be rewarded by the system.

I really don't know how much reward he can get this time. After all, his multi-dimensional field theory, but even the system can't handle it. The system feels that he should not make such a thing in his current situation.

That is to say, except that his current brain development speed comes from the system, he completed this world-shocking theory entirely through his own thinking.

This is probably just like Einstein and Newton, who came up with their great theories out of a sudden inspiration.

So, he is so awesome, it is not too much to advance two or three levels in physics, right?
In addition, in the process of his demonstration, he created a lot of mathematical methods, such as a method called multi-dimensional topology. Through multi-dimensional topology, he was able to discuss the existence of various dimensions in a matrix, thus proving that The synergy of these dimensions is precisely because of this that he found the existence of multidimensional fields.

This alone is also an achievement that is enough to win the Fields Medal. Like Edward Witten at the beginning, it is because in the demonstration process of M theory, Jones polynomials were used to explain the Chen-Simons theory. There are many flexible applications in mathematics, which is why it won the Fields Medal.

Therefore, Lin Xiao wondered if he could gain a lot of mathematics experience, right?
One or two thousand is not too much, right?
So, with such expectations, he began to calculate.

Start with the up quark first.

Input spin, charge, and some other properties, and then start the calculation. It didn't take long for the calculation software to show the result he wanted. The mass is about 2.2MeV/c, well, it is basically the same as the mass in the standard model.

In high-energy physics, eV/c is generally used as its mass, that is, it is calculated according to the mass-energy equation, which is also convenient for high-energy physicists to calculate. After all, for them, mass is equal to energy, and the two are completely different. Equivalently, they also use eV/c in their usual calculations.

Now Lin Xiao has successfully verified the mass of the up quark, which means that the multidimensional field theory has once again obtained a demonstration.

Now, instead of making a straight line through one point, a straight line is made through two points.

So the next step is to continue to find more 'points' on this straight line.

Up quark, down quark, charm quark, strange quark... six kinds of quarks, six kinds of leptons, four kinds of gauge bosons, and one Higgs boson, seventeen particles, constitute the current world of particle physics , Lin Xiao can directly calculate the mass of each particle, for example, after substituting photons and gluons, he can get the value of '0'.

Of course, the masses of the three types of neutrinos can also be calculated, but it is only because they cannot be measured experimentally, so even if Lin Xiao calculated it, people still need to continue to find ways to verify it through experiments. Only after the experimental verification is successful can they be calculated. Make a proof.

In this way, Lin Xiao calculated the other thirteen particles, and when the results were all the same as the mass of the particles measured by the current experiment, an accident occurred on the last particle, the W boson.

"What's going on here? The mass of the W boson is... 80436±3MeV/c?"

Seeing this result, Lin Xiao was stunned.

This is a bit different from the previous measurement...

Previously, the mass of the W boson was predicted according to the standard model, generally between 80357±6 MeV/c2, where '6' is the standard deviation σ.

In physics, if the standard deviation is within 5, it is an experimental error, and once it exceeds [-] standard deviations, it can be considered that some new physics has appeared.

In the past, the experimental measurements of the mass of the W boson have not exceeded the five variances of the predicted value of the standard model, so the previous prediction can be regarded as no problem.

But now, the standard deviation between Lin Xiao's result and the previous prediction is as high as [-]!

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly.

This shows that the predictions of the standard model in the past have been wrong, but his multidimensional field theory has brought perfection to the standard model.

"It seems that I can shock the world a few more times."
