From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Lin Xiao's answer stunned everyone present.

Even if the idea and method are announced, in Lin Xiao's eyes, it's just a return to the same starting line?

And as long as he is on the same starting line, he is not worried that he will be surpassed by others?

No matter what, this is obviously a very confident answer, and if someone else said it, they would not believe it, they would just take it as this person's big talk, but now it is Lin Xiao who said this, In this regard, they have to believe it.

Although Lin Xiao answered in Chinese, Witten and the others had a person who was responsible for translating for them, so he also translated for them.

When the translator was translating, he looked at Lin Xiao with admiration. After all, the translator was a graduate student from the School of Foreign Languages ​​of Peking University, and Lin Xiaoke was almost the idol of their school. At that time, the translator felt lucky in his heart. He was able to hear Lin Xiao say such handsome words. It was a worthwhile trip.

As for Witten and the others, after hearing this, their expressions were even more diverse, but all in all, their expressions all contained admiration for Lin Xiao, and there was no disbelief either.

In the end, Zhao Qi extended his thumb to Lin Xiao and said, "As expected of Professor Lin."

The others also nodded in agreement, and although Witten and the others couldn't understand what Zhao Qi said, from the tone of their voice, what they should say was what they wanted to say.

So they all nodded.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's nothing, anyway, even if this kind of thing happens again in the future, there's no need to worry."

"Ah."

Zhao Qi nodded, based on Lin Xiao's words, he felt that there was nothing to worry about, and he believed that Lin Xiao would be done.

Then, they chatted for a while, until finally, Zhao Qi and the others had finished talking about what they should have talked about and what they wanted to say to Lin Xiao, so they left here one after another, but Witten still stayed.

"Witten, is there anything else?"

Witten smiled and said, "I'm saying goodbye to you. I'm going back tomorrow."

A regretful expression appeared on Lin Xiao's face, "That's really a pity, I was thinking that you could stay here for a while longer."

"Haha, no, no, I've stayed here long enough."

Witten waved his hand, "Of course, I will probably come here often in the future. To be honest, I have received many invitations, and I have also been a visiting professor or researcher at many schools or research institutes, but in some of them, I even I can’t remember the name for a while, and I rarely go there.”

"The Dingguang Research Institute has left a deep impression on me, so I think I will never forget it in the future, so I will definitely see more in the future, so Lin doesn't have to be too sorry, maybe when I will I will also bring my family over to play, if they like this place, I can stay here?"

"Haha! That's fine, then I'll just wait for that day."

"Yeah." Witten nodded and said with a smile: "Especially the sweet tofu nao in the cafeteria, um~ I must try it again before I leave tomorrow, but I don't know if there are any similar ones in our Chinatown." This kind of sweet tofu nao tastes good."

Lin Xiao laughed even more. Deligne and the others were obsessed with Roujiamo, but they didn't expect that Professor Witten became obsessed with tofu nao.

If he knew that another professor Maldacina also liked to eat salted tofu nao, and even had a sweet and salty party debate with Witten, he would probably have to exclaim again that he was culturally exported.

"Also, Lin, I have to say thank you."

Suddenly, Witten said again: "Thank you for the surprise, I have received it."

Lin Xiao smiled. Of course he knew what the surprise Witten was talking about. It seemed that Witten had found the final way out from his proof yesterday.

"That's good. Then I wish you success in advance. The discovery of strings seems to surprise our physics community again."

Witten laughed, "It seems that our physics community has some surprises this year."

But then, his expression became straight again, and he said: "Of course, you have given me such a great help, and I will repay you."

"Huh? That's unnecessary." Lin Xiao waved his hand: "It was only after your reminder that I solved the mystery between graviton and the theory of relativity. What I give you is the reward."

Witten shook his head helplessly, "I just said it unintentionally at the beginning, how can it be regarded as a reminder for you?"

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. I should go too. I have to go shopping with some other old guys in Beijing today, and then I should leave tomorrow."

Hearing what Witten said, Lin Xiao also had a look of helplessness on his face, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then goodbye."

"Well." Witten nodded with a smile, then stepped forward, put both hands on Lin Xiao's shoulders, and said seriously: "There are still many undiscovered truths in our world, and the truth cannot be heard by us." Its voice was finally found by us, so things like this still require people like you who are good at finding its traces from clues to create this ultimate miracle."

"So, Lin, keep looking for miracles. I believe that the future of physics belongs to you."

After speaking, he patted Lin Xiao's shoulder with both hands, and then left Lin Xiao's house.

And Lin Xiao looked at Witten who was leaving, with a strange expression on his face, and at the same time took out the truth recording pen from his arms.

"It seems that I can really hear the truth?"

Finally, he shook his head with a smile and put the recorder back on.

This kind of thing that doesn't belong to one dimension, forget it.

In any case, Witten's words still had the ability to inspire him.

Then, let's continue to create that miracle.

That is, the mystery of the strong interaction force.

Uncovered the mystery of the mass gap, and also solved the existence of the Yang-Mills gauge field to the Whiteman axiom. In front of them, the strong interaction force is no longer mysterious, but becomes understandable .

"Then let me see how the legendary strong interaction can be related to the electromagnetic interaction and weak interaction!"

Lin Xiao smiled slightly. Once this problem is solved, he thinks, he can be sure that the construction of a commercial reactor using a tokamak device to achieve controllable nuclear fusion is far away or just around the corner.

……

Time passed quietly.

The shock caused by such a report is still widely circulated in society.

Unknown science is very mysterious, even terrifying, just like we don’t know whether there is a top-level civilization on the top of the earth that is always monitoring the earth’s humans, or whether our entire universe is in the eyes of others, just a glance The ball with a panoramic view can even be destroyed at will.

However, known science can often shock people, like the well-known black holes, or those full of counter-intuitive things in quantum mechanics.

And Lin Xiao's report meeting also revealed this kind of thing that can make people sound awesome.

So for a while, it also led to a baptism of traffic in the whole society.

Although Lin Xiao is often @ by netizens, he doesn't pay much attention to it.

After all, it is impossible for him to explain to these netizens how he proved it, just like it is impossible for a national player who plays Go live to explain to the audience where his skill is.

Life has returned to the right track again. As for Witten and the others, they have already boarded the plane, left Huaguo, and returned to their respective countries.

And just a week later, Witten published a paper on arxiv. The title of the paper was very short, but the amount of information contained was quite a bit.

"The Existence of Strings"

This paper doesn't look like a normal paper title, but when everyone saw it, everyone's surprise couldn't be explained clearly in a few words, especially seeing that the author of this paper contained two weights When the name of the superintendent.

One is Edward Witten, and the other is Lin Xiao.

These two top figures in the physics world actually published a paper together, and the content of the paper is still so important?

Isn't the existence of strings just to prove that strings exist?
Proving the existence of strings is the program of string theory physicists, just like the Langlands program, which mathematicians are committed to pursuing.

Now that Witten and Lin Xiao have published this paper, does it mean that these two bigwigs have found conclusive evidence for the existence of strings?
The world of physics, as Witten and Lin Xiao said, was once again in shock.

A few days ago, they just digested the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity and the proof of the existence of the Yang-Mills gauge field and the mass gap, and the result now tells them that the existence of strings has also been found?
Physicists feel that the world is closed!
