From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 191 Another Bomb

After a debate over Lin Xiao's "ownership", although their ideas all failed based on Lin Xiao's subjective initiative, everyone looked at Lin Xiao with a sense of relief .

What a talented young man!
The people here are basically over 40 years old, and those with senior qualifications are basically 70 to [-] years old.

And looking at such a young Lin Xiao, they all seem to be able to recall the scene when they were young, but at that time, they were far from making such outstanding achievements as Lin Xiao.

Newton's 23 years old, Einstein's 26 years old, and now, Lin Xiao's 20 years old can also be added.

而20岁虽然只是比23岁和26岁差了个3岁和6岁，但是这个年龄，依然能够让他们每一个人为之惊叹。

What an incredible age.

Of course, the amazement is the end of the amazement, and now it's time to talk about business.

Penrose next to him said: "Mr. Lin, I came to you. We want to discuss something with you."

"whats the matter?"

"I am a member of the International Solvay Organization, and now we plan to hold a Solvay conference this year. I hope you can talk about your multidimensional field theory with the physics community at this conference." Penrose He laughed and said, "There is a good saying, no one really understands quantum mechanics, and likewise, not many people really understand the theory of relativity, but now it seems that one more sentence can be added, that no one understands multidimensional field theory."

"So, probably you are the person who understands multi-dimensional field theory the most in our world now, and we all want to really understand multi-dimensional field theory from you, for example... what do you know about higher dimensions and those lower dimensions? What do you think?"

Hearing Penrose's words, Lin Xiao nodded with a smile: "Of course there is no problem."

Such an important theory, of course, requires him, the proposer, to personally share with everyone, such as some of his thoughts on this theory, so as to point out a way for other people's research. In addition, you can also share See how he thinks about it.

Maybe, these deeds will be engraved in history, and will be handed down in the end, and even become textbook stories.

However, the words of the Solvay physics conference...

Of course, Lin Xiao has heard of the name of this meeting. It is most famous for its fifth meeting held in October 1927. The meeting left a group photo of the participants, which is that A group photo of well-known bigwigs in the physics world, top physicists such as Einstein, Lorentz, Planck, etc. all appeared in it.

And this Solvay Physics Conference has not been interrupted until modern times. The last time it was held was in 2017.

This year, it should be held again.

"That's good." Penrose nodded with a smile, and then asked, "So, Lin, when do you think this meeting is best?"

"Do you need to ask me about this?" Lin Xiao frowned.

Hearing Lin Xiao's question, everyone present laughed.

Penrose said: "You are the protagonist of this Solvay meeting, and the principle that the Solvay meeting follows is that we would rather not hold it if there are no important things or important people."

"Also, our Solvay Committee has already decided on the name of this conference, and it's called 'Multidimensional Field Theory', so as long as it fits your time, that's fine."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Then... let's hold it again in December this year, there should be no problem."

"December?" Penrose nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem. It's not July yet, and there are still five months of preparation time. This can be regarded as a relatively extravagant time."

"However, may I ask why you plan to hold it in December?"

Lin Xiao smiled, then glanced at everyone present, and then said: "Because, before December, I plan to re-measure the mass of the W boson, and it happens that there are many researchers in high-energy physics My friends are all here, I wonder if anyone would like to join me?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's plan, everyone present couldn't help being stunned.

Another measurement of the mass of the W boson?

What is this for?
"Can you tell me why?"

Penrose asked curiously.

There have been many experiments to measure the mass of the W boson, and they are basically very close to the prediction results of the Standard Model, within five standard deviations.

Now Lin Xiao suddenly proposed to re-measure the mass of the W boson, why?
Lin Xiao just smiled lightly, and made a joke: "Everyone pay attention to the last two weeks of "Physical Review Letters", you will get the answer from it, of course, I will tell you a news first, we measured There should be a large gap between the mass of the W boson and the actual mass of the W boson—as long as the multidimensional field theory is correct."

The physicists present all had surprised expressions on their faces.

In the past, their predictions on the mass of the W boson were wrong, and there was a big gap between them and the actual mass?

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

"Lin, are you sure about this?"

Penrose's face showed seriousness. Obviously, what Lin Xiao said was a very important question.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly: "If I'm not sure, I won't tell everyone here. Moreover, the W boson is the only particle that I have calculated that is too far from our current measurement value. Other particles, basically It all fit very well.”

"why is that?"

Not far away, a physicist couldn't help asking. He was George Parisi, who reviewed Lin Xiao's manuscript before, and he also came over.

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "Because of the multi-dimensional space!"

Previously, indecision, quantum mechanics.

Now, in case of indecision, both quantum mechanics and multidimensional field theory can be used.

Hearing Lin Xiao's answer, the people present couldn't help but look at each other.

And soon, someone realized something.

"That is to say, you have found a new method to calculate the mass of elementary particles by using multidimensional field theory?"

As this question was asked, everyone immediately looked at Lin Xiao.

In the past, they used the standard model to calculate the mass of elementary particles, and then used experiments to verify. For example, to calculate the mass of the W boson, the measured mass of the Higgs boson, Z The mass of the boson, the mass of the top quark, and the lifetime of the muon calculate the mass of the W boson.

And now Lin Xiao actually calculated the masses of these particles through multidimensional field theory?

This really surprised them. If the multidimensional field theory is the pioneering theory of the entire physics field, then the method of calculating the mass of elementary particles can be called the basic theory of high-energy physics. Lin Akatsuki has come up with such an important theory now?

All the high-energy physicists present couldn't help paying attention.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Yes."

The physicists on the field were suddenly in an uproar.

Someone even asked immediately: "Your paper has been sent to "Physical Review Letters"? Isn't it posted on arxiv?"

"Uh, I didn't post it." Lin Xiao said.

Others shouted immediately: "Quickly post it on arxiv!"

"Yes! Post it on arxiv, we don't want to wait."

"Send it to arxiv!"

……

What kind of experience is it like to be urged to publish a paper by a group of bigwigs in the academic world?
Anyway, Lin Xiao has experienced it now.

He originally wanted the academic community to digest the multidimensional field theory for a while before dropping a bomb, but seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he had no choice but to laugh and cry: "Okay, okay, I will post it when I go back, I will post it, I originally wanted to wait until everyone had a good understanding of multidimensional field theory.”

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, everyone present couldn't help but feel helpless.

It seems to be reasonable to say so. After all, there are not many people who can understand multidimensional field theory in the entire academic world. As for the one who fully understands it, Lin Xiao is probably the only one who understands it. Now Lin Xiao extends the theory based on multidimensional field theory. A new theory has been developed, who can guarantee whether the physics community can understand this new theory?
Of course, no matter what, read it first, as to whether you can understand it, that's a matter for the future.

Let’s skip this matter, and then they discussed where the Solvay meeting will be held at that time, and about Lin Xiao’s proposal to re-measure the mass of the W boson. Scholars have expressed their willingness to join in this.

Fabiola Gianotti, chairman of CERN, also said that CERN is willing to provide Lin Xiao's research site and all data.

For this, Lin Xiao naturally expressed his gratitude. Of course, his current achievements are enough for CERN to treat him like this.

Afterwards, this brief meeting, which could be called a meeting, was over, but for Lin Xiao, the matter was not over yet.

"Mr. Lin, I am the chairman of CNRS, the French National Center for Scientific Research, Antoine Petit. Now I sincerely invite you to become our CNRS honorary scientist seat. I wonder if you would like it? This seat does not have any requirements for you. "

"Mr. Lin, I am Martin Stratmann, the chairman of the Max Planck Society of Germany. On behalf of the Max Planck Society, I invite you to be our honorary scientist. In addition, if you want, we can also set up a new physics department for you alone. The Institute is called the Institute of Multidimensional Physics, and you will serve as its director at that time, with a lifelong tenure."

"Mr. Lin, I am the Royal Society..."

"I'm……"

The highest scientific research institutions from various European countries sent invitations to Lin Xiao, hoping that he could join them, and they all gave an honorary seat.

For these organizations, it is their honor to have Lin Xiao establish a relationship with them, which can also expand their reputation.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't refuse, and agreed to their invitation.
