From University Lecturer to Chief Academician
Chapter 232 Wang Hao: You are doing low-level research work!
Paul Phil-Jones is a well-known genius in the circle of string theory research at American University, and he still has a certain appeal, and many scholars responded to the call.
Or also because, the theory that conflicts with string theory is unacceptable to them.
Many scholars have been studying string theory for several years, ten years, or even longer, and they simply cannot accept theories that directly conflict with string theory.
It would be fine if the conflicting theories had no impact, but now it seems that some content has been confirmed by experiments. If it continues to develop, the influence will become greater and greater, and string theory will likely be falsified. Then their efforts all the time , it becomes meaningless.
This is of course unacceptable.
So they collectively resisted Wang Hao's annihilation theory.
Boycott, of course, is not just lip service.
Many people have also begun to seriously study the annihilation theory, hoping to find out the problems of the annihilation theory. As long as they can find the problems, the annihilation theory is naturally wrong.
In fact, it is not just the string theory circle of American University. There are also many mathematicians specializing in theoretical research in other countries, and they are also very resistant to annihilation theory.
After decades of development, string theory has become a large faction of theoretical physics, and many mathematicians are engaged in related research.
Many people also think that the research of string theory is very high-end. They stand at the pinnacle of physics research and also the pinnacle of mathematics.
The mathematics involved in string theory can be described as obscure.
An example will illustrate it directly.
The representative of string theory, Edward Witten of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, won the top Fields Medal just for the mathematical research content attached to the construction of string theory.
As long as one can achieve certain results in the study of string theory, one can be said to be an excellent genius, and one can even say that a person who fully understands the content of string theory is very remarkable.
Every scholar of string theory can be said to be a top mathematical genius.
There are many geniuses in this field, and at the same time there is a lot of worship, because only the top geniuses can achieve results in string theory research, and they are the objects of worship in the circle.
Edward Witten is the figure standing at the top of the worship pyramid.
When many scholars of string theory are discussing the theory of annihilation, Edward Witten can't be alone. He is over 70 years old, but he is still doing research and hopes to continue to study the theory in his lifetime. Complete.
A reporter interviewed Edward Witten, hoping that he could talk about his views on the theory of annihilation.
Edward Witten said solemnly, "This theory is only a prototype so far, and no more detailed content has been officially published."
"All I could find were some definitions. Some might be right, and some might be wrong."
"I don't think this theory has much to do with experiments. Many people are discussing the latest experimental results of the Nuclear Organization, saying that they confirmed Wang Hao's research."
"But I don't think the research is necessarily directly related to annihilation theory."
"Before anything is determined, no one can give a definite answer, and I can't deny other people's research, especially Wang Hao..."
"you know."
Edward Witten's meaning was obvious. He respected Wang Hao's status in the mathematics world, and then continued, "We must think and understand from reality."
"The experimental conclusion cannot prove a theory, because even the premise, there will be other explanations, not a single explanation."
"I will not directly deny the theory of annihilation, but I think that when a new theory comes out, there must be some mistakes, and one of them must be correct."
Edward Witten keeps saying 'not a negative', but what he means is clearly that part of the annihilation theory is wrong, just because there is no direct evidence.
One is because Wang Hao did not publish all the theoretical content, and did not publish the basic mathematical framework of the new theory.
The second reason is that Wang Hao has not yet published a paper related to the experiment, nor has he made a report on the results.
In the absence of anything, even Edward Witten could not assert that the new theory was wrong.
In addition, the other party was the youngest Fields winner, and was considered the world's number one mathematician genius. He was no worse than him in heavyweight, and might even be a little stronger.
Even if he directly denies it, it is not convincing at all.
...
the beginning of the month.
The Chinese Mathematicians Conference will be held in Lingcheng soon.
Wang Hao came to Lingcheng two days in advance, and he also brought his student Qiu Hui'an with him.
The reason why I brought Qiu Hui'an was because I wanted my students to see the world, and because Qiu Hui'an was studying Legendre's conjecture, and I was stuck at the last step, so I came to a mathematics conference and listened to some relevant lectures. Reports may be able to get inspiration.
Although he came to Lingcheng two days in advance, Wang Hao did not come too early. Many scholars came early, especially those foreign scholars who took the conference of mathematicians as a public-funded trip. Some of them even came early. After a week, I walked around and looked around after I came here.
Lingcheng is a city with a lot of historical heritage, it is really worth walking around to see.
After Wang Hao came to Lingcheng, he also went to some famous scenic spots first. After shopping for an afternoon, he went to the main venue the next morning.
He met many acquaintances.
For example, academician Hu Hourong and academician Zhang Yifang of the Institute of High Energy, Academy of Sciences.
Heads of experimental groups including Didier Mayor and Gessner Rainier of the European Particles Organization.
Of course, scholars from universities are also indispensable, including Pan Weiguo who came here specially. Donggang University has a group of more than a dozen people, including an old academician of mathematics.
When Wang Hao entered the venue, he became the central figure.
Many people surrounded him enthusiastically and talked about his latest research. Most of the scholars in the physics field came to the meeting just for Wang Hao's report.
This report is the core content.
But when everyone talks, they don't always talk about the content of the report, but also talk about some academic research.
Academician Zhang Yifang asked about Wang Hao's recent research, "What do you mainly do research now? Do you specialize in the Yang-Mills equation, or do you do that topology project?"
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "I still mainly do research on semi-topology." He explained to others who didn't know, "This is the research I did with Kocher, hoping to make a new topological system. To define and explain the internal microscopic morphology model of complex materials in the conductive state."
Zhang Yifang listened and nodded, "Your research has attracted much attention."
Many people know that Wang Hao is doing this research, because he applied for a key project, and the project funding is directly 20 million.
Mathematics projects with tens of millions of funding are extremely rare.
At the same time, the research is also getting a lot of attention, because everyone knows that the research is directly related to superconductivity.
Previously, the media all over the world were reporting on research related to communication gravity. Ordinary people would imagine anti-gravity technology, but scholars in related fields knew that superconductivity was much more important than communication gravity.
Superconductivity is a technology close to reality, and has been applied in some fields.
The improvement of superconducting technology can promote the realization of large-scale applications, which will bring about earth-shaking changes in technology.
Communicating gravity, to put it bluntly, is anti-gravity.
This technology represents the future, but definitely not the present.
How long is the future?
It may be decades, it may be a hundred years, or hundreds of years, anyway, it will definitely not be seen in a short time.
Zhang Yifang continued to ask, "The study of this topology is complicated enough. Why did you suddenly think of studying the Yang-Mills equation?"
Wang Haodao, "I just think that I am very suitable to study this equation, and I can also understand the topological changes of the microscopic morphology inside superconductors from another angle."
He explained, "I think the main reason for topological changes in microscopic morphology is the annihilation force."
After he finished speaking, he added, "Professor Qiu reminded me."
Many people immediately looked at Qiu Chengwen.
Academician Hu Hourong was also one of them. When he and Wang Hao communicated via video, he heard Wang Hao say similar things, and he felt very depressed at that time.
It still hurts to hear it now.
The other party just listened to the suggestion and studied it carefully to achieve such a big result.
People and people are really incomparable!
Qiu Chengwen walked over and heard Wang Hao's words, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He just suggested that Wang Hao study the Yang-Mills equation, but he never thought that after such a short time, the other party would have such a big results.
Is this still reasonable!
While several people were talking, a young short-haired white man came over. It was Paul Phil Jones. Next to him was Ridley Parsons, a professor at the University of Florida who was also engaged in string theory research.
They agreed to attend the Chinese Mathematicians Conference together, and there were several other people in the same company.
Paul Phil-Jones expression was very cold. Seeing that Wang Hao was obviously not in a good mood, he walked over and raised his head proudly, and said directly, "Wang Hao, your annihilation theory is a hoax, right?!"
This unfriendly tone made Wang Hao unable to react for a while.
How could someone say such a thing directly?
Ledley Parsons pulled Paul Phil Jones back. He smiled apologetically at Wang Hao and explained, "Sorry, Paul Phil cannot accept your theory."
Jones looked at Parsons and asked, "Ledley, why did you apologize to him, you can't accept it, right?"
Parsons smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Of course??"
Under the doubtful gaze of others, he didn't know what to say, and he regretted walking with Paul Phil Jones.
He has always known that Paul Phil Jones has no EQ and is very fanatical about string theory, but he still didn't expect that he would just come here and ask questions.
If the target is someone else, he will of course support Paul Phil Jones, because Jones is a super genius, and there are very few people who can beat him in mathematics, including most of the Fields winners.
Sometimes, winning an award does not directly represent ability, it may just be that the research is going in the right direction, or some research results have been recognized internationally.
Paul Phil-Jones belongs to that kind of top genius, but he studies string theory. Obviously, it is very difficult to win awards in the research direction of string theory.
Now Paul Phil Jones is facing Wang Hao.
In terms of mathematical ability, Wang Hao happened to be the one who crushed Paul Phil Jones, and the results he accomplished are enough to illustrate the problem.
The whole world recognizes that he is the number one mathematician, and his mathematical ability need not be questioned at all.
But on academic issues, he will definitely stand with Paul Phil Jones, because they are both studying string theory.
Wang Hao looked at Paul Phil Jones with doubts, and tentatively asked three words, "String theory?"
Jones continued to stare at Wang Hao without blinking.
Parsons nodded slightly.
Wang Hao suddenly understood that he had never conducted string theory research, but some definitions of annihilation theory seem to be very unfriendly to string theory?
"I'm pretty sure the annihilation theory is correct."
After he finished speaking affirmatively, he suddenly smiled and continued, "In addition, there are still differences in the basic definitions of annihilation theory and string theory."
Paul Phil Jones replied forcefully, "I don't understand what you mean!"
Wang Hao said with a smile, "You can understand it with an example. For example, how does decay occur? I believe you, an expert in string theory, can explain it in the way of string theory?"
"certainly!"
Paul Phil-Jones showed 'don't look down on people' eyes, and immediately said, "The decay process is α decays into β plus γ, when α decays into β and γ, it is a single string vibrating, which is broken into two strings Vibrate in a different way."
"Because strings are extremely small, it is difficult to directly observe the properties of particles similar to strings..."
Jones explained a whole lot in a row.
Wang Hao listened patiently, and then said, "You just explained the explanation of the decay process by string theory. If this is a question that can be scored, I will give you zero points."
Jones was suddenly a little annoyed.
Wang Hao explained, "My question is, how does the decay occur, instead of asking you to explain the decay process? Let me ask another question, why does the decay occur? Mr. Jones, can you explain it using string theory?"
Paul Phil Jones froze for a moment.
For the question of why decay occurs, he can certainly find a lot of physical explanations, such as energy loss, just like the vibration of strings, which cannot be sustained forever, and the microscopic reaction is the decay of particles.
As another example, decay is the complex result of many forces acting within an atom.
etc.
However, the above explanation has nothing to do with string theory.
If he takes these physical explanations as an explanation, he is equivalent to not answering the question at all.
Jones immediately looked at Wang Hao, wanting to hear what Wang Hao would say.
Wang Haodao, "If you use the annihilation theory, it is easy to explain. Why does decay occur? It is because of the interaction between space and mass. Mass will cause space oscillations. Conversely, space also interacts with mass."
"This is the force of annihilation. It's like squeezing an object continuously, or it can be understood as the weathering reaction of a stone. Under the action of continuous force, decay occurs naturally."
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he ignored Paul Phil-Jones, but walked out of the venue with others, ready to go to the restaurant for lunch.
Paul Phil-Jones stood there blankly, looked up at Parsons for a long time, and asked with uncertainty, "Ledley, I was humiliated just now, string theory was humiliated, right? ?”
He finally reacted.
Wang Hao asked a question about decay. He explained the occurrence process with string theory, while the other party said that the annihilation theory can directly explain the cause of the decay.
The straightforward understanding is that "annihilation theory is superior to string theory", and to put it more bluntly, "what you are doing is low-level research work".
The connotation of it can be understood by the "academic contempt chain".
Mathematics is obviously superior to applied mathematics, and the study of pure mathematics can "contempt" the study of applied mathematics.
Now annihilation theory can explain the cause of decay, while string theory can only explain the process of occurrence, and the "academic level" of natural annihilation theory is one level higher than string theory.
After hearing Jones' question, Parsons twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a look of "you just realized it", and then nodded slightly.
"damn it!"
Paul Phil-Jones was suddenly angry, he could accept being humiliated, but string theory was humiliated——
Absolutely unacceptable!
I have a funeral at my brother's house, kneel like a filial son for a day during the day, and come back at night full of exhaustion, the update is a bit slow, I apologize here, and the normal update will resume on Monday.
