From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Xihai University, Mason Mathematical Sciences Laboratory, Director's Office.

Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones continued to think about the mathematical content on the whiteboard together. They summarized the research and then substituted the values ​​for calculation.

Paul Phil-Jones took two steps back, looked at the content on the whiteboard as a whole, and then seriously emphasized, "It's perfect, but it must be wrong."

He paused and asked Wang Hao, "Aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Wang Hao looked at the content on the whiteboard carefully, and asked back with a motionless expression.

Paul Phil-Jones said, "The analysis and calculation process is very rigorous, there is no problem, but we can get the exact result immediately. If the conclusion is wrong, you should know what it means?"

Wang Hao turned his head and said, "That means the foundation is wrong, indicating that the annihilation force is not higher than the three microcosmic force dimensions."

"Aren't you worried?" Paul Phil Jones asked curiously again.

Wang Hao shook his head and said simply, "Of course not."

"Why?"

"Because I have confidence!"

Paul Phil-Jones opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time. He found that he was not as good as Wang Hao, and that was his confidence in theory.

If the research of string theory can reach the step of related experiments, he will definitely look forward to the verification, but at the same time he will be very disturbed, worried that the verification will lead to wrong conclusions.

Wang Hao was calm, and he didn't seem to see any anxiety.

This shows that Wang Hao is very confident in research.

Paul Phil-Jones doesn't understand this kind of confidence. He can only think that Wang Hao's confidence in annihilation theory exceeds his confidence in string theory.

In fact, he doesn't care about this, but he feels that he has become very conflicted because he finds that he has some doubts about string theory.

It cannot be said that string theory is completely doubted, but some of the research is doubted.

He and Wang Hao completed this research together, and the beauty of the mathematical process seems to be a step further than the study of string theory.

Mathematics, the pursuit is beautiful.

In addition, their research can achieve a further analysis of microphysics, and if they continue to study, it is likely to complete a unified theory.

String theory also pursues the unification of theories, but many of its analyzes involve complex understanding, for example, the analysis of dimensions in M ​​theory.

The analysis of these parts is difficult to be recognized by ordinary people, or even recognized by peers.

If it involves four dimensions, it is better, but if it involves higher dimensions, mathematics will become very complicated. The more you study, the more problems you will encounter.

Now the theoretical explanation given by Wang Hao is to describe the space squeeze as the source of all forces, and then connect with the existing quantum physics system, which is obviously more acceptable, because the theory does not involve obscure high dimensions, and also Does not conflict with existing physical systems.

In addition, if you continue to think deeply, and use the source and influence of annihilation force to understand black holes, antimatter, dark matter, etc., you can really expand and study, instead of "forced" explanations like string theory.

Of course, there is still a lot of research to be done in the process, and there are also many problems to be solved.

The process of perfecting a new theory is very, very complicated.

Paul Phil-Jones continued to think, and he couldn't help but doubt string theory in his heart, "Is string theory wrong? Or is part of it wrong?"

Of course he wouldn't say it, just kept silent and continued to think.

Wang Hao returned to his seat and started the final calculation work.

When Paul Phil-Jones came back to his senses, he also joined them to perform calculations together. Two top international mathematicians performed calculations together. Needless to say, the speed is needless to say.

In just one day, they calculated the result.

"183GeV-187GeV."

Wang Hao said with certainty, "There is an undiscovered particle within this energy range."

"My result is the same..."

Paul Phil-Jones said with complicated eyes that he didn't know how to face his contradictory feelings.

On the one hand, he hopes that the research is wrong, which means that part of the mathematical content of string theory will not be denied; on the other hand, of course he hopes that the research he participated in is correct, and he also likes this research work very much.

The former is to affirm the past and deny the present.

The latter means denying the past and affirming the present.

How to choose this?

Science is certainly not a multiple choice question.

Wang Hao said with a smile, "I am now more sure of the correctness of the conclusion."

Paul Phil-Jones looked up.

Wang Hao sent him the information by hand, "Let's take a look, the report of the last particle collision test experiment."

CERN’s particle collision experiment will publish a very detailed research report every time. What can be seen on the news are only some big discoveries, and some small discoveries or points that need attention will be published in the detailed report of the experiment. inside.

The detailed report is also open to the public, as long as the cooperative organization logs in, it can be viewed.

However, the content of the detailed experiment report is very complicated, and obviously only professionals will read it, and ordinary people definitely don't care.

Paul Phil-Jones looked at the contents of the data, and quickly found one of the very important ones—there is a numerical signal fluctuation in the range of 178-195 GeV.

This is a small experimental conclusion.

In the detailed report experiment, there are more than a dozen similar numerical signal fluctuations, which are most likely caused by errors. It is even said that the impact caused by the pipe being knocked during the experiment may be higher than the detected signal fluctuations .

Therefore, similar conclusions will not attract attention at all in the detailed report of the experiment, but the results of their calculations are different.

The two can be matched exactly.

Paul Phil-Jones took a deep breath, "So our research is correct?"

"I've always been sure."

Wang Hao said with a smile, "It's just hard to say whether it can be verified. The value fluctuates abnormally. It is only meaningful to expand to the trust value."

"But at least our research can be published."

Next, they began to summarize the research together, but because there was no positive research on the annihilation theory, and there were only some basic definitions, the published content was related to the decay description and calculation.

It took them three days to complete the decay description and a summary of the calculations.

After Wang Hao thought about it, he submitted his thesis to "The Universe and the Microcosm".

"Cosmos and Microcosm" is a professional quantum physics journal, and its influence in physics ranks among the top five. More importantly, they have cooperation with CERN.

Many results related to particle collision experiments will be published in "Universe and Microcosm".

The research they have done is a new analysis of the decay problem, combined with the calculations made by the Yang-Mills equation, and they have also drawn the conclusion that there is a brand-new particle in a specific energy range, and submitted it to "The Universe and the Microcosm" for positive review. Suitable.

...

The journal Cosmos and Microcosmos is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany.

Dudek-Müller is a professional review editor of the journal, and he has worked for more than 20 years.

When he comes to the office every morning, the first thing Dudek-Müller does is to scan the received submissions, find out those that are of interest, and put them in a special folder.

These will be the morning tasks.

Those who are not interested in the submissions will be placed in another folder, and they will be read slowly after a while.

Dudek-Müller checked the contents of his mailbox and immediately noticed a submission titled "Resolution of Decay and Undiscovered Particles."

"Analytic decay?"

"New undiscovered particles?"

Dudek-Müller looked a little funny. He subconsciously threw the manuscript into the trash can, and didn't even bother to take a look at it.

The title of this submission is simply too large.

It is possible to understand a little bit by analyzing the decay, but what does it mean to talk about a new particle that has not been discovered?

Through the study of the Yang-Mills equation, there are also predicted new particles, including the Higgs particle and neutrinos.

It sounds a little funny to predict undiscovered new particles by analyzing the decay problem.

Most of the similar studies can be classified as rubbish. You don’t need to read more to know it, and reading it is tantamount to a waste of time.

Dudek-Müller operated to put the submission into the trash can, and replied to an email of 'submission failed', and then when he was about to close the page, he suddenly noticed the contributor's name.

Wang-Hao?

"It seems very familiar..."

Dudek-Müller frowned, then suddenly widened his eyes, and immediately found the manuscript from the trash can.

After confirming that the name on it was Wang Hao, and the other party marked it as 'Xihai University', Dudek Muller was drenched in cold sweat.

Wang Hao!

Fields Medal winner, creator of annihilation theory, recognized as the world's number one mathematician, his submission was rejected by himself?

Dudek-Müller hastily withdrew the 'submission failed' email, and even spilled the coffee at hand in the middle, and he took a long breath after confirming the withdrawal.

The editor-in-chief Resal heard the movement, looked up, and immediately walked over and said, "Dudek, be careful, don't get the keyboard wet."

"well."

Dudek-Müller nodded continuously, immediately grabbed Resal, pointed to the computer screen and said, "Look at this! Wang Hao, his contribution!"

Resal suddenly looked over, "Is it Wang Hao's contribution? Open it and have a look."

Dudek-Müller opened the file, and they read the introduction carefully together, and they couldn't help being extremely surprised.

"Analysis of Decay and Undiscovered Particles" talks about analyzing decay in a new way, which introduces the effect of annihilation force, and there is only one sentence in the introduction, "the dimension of annihilation force is higher".

The paper concludes that there are new particles within a fixed energy range.

This kind of research is simply too big!

Dudek-Müller continued to open the content of the paper. At the beginning, there was a lot of mathematical analysis. In the next few pages of the paper, there was a part of the calculation content, which seemed to be related to the Yang-Mills equation, and finally calculated the result.

After browsing the paper as a whole, Dudek-Müller said with certainty, "Mr. Resal, I can't understand this paper. Would you like to review it?"

"I can't understand it either." Resal said with more certainty than Dudek Muller, "The content is too complicated. It started with mathematical analysis, and it seems that a new definition has been introduced, which is too professional."

"You don't understand either?"

"It's hard to understand," Resal said, pointing to the column for the author of the paper, "and haven't you noticed? Not one author, and Paul Phil Jones."

"who is he?"

"A well-known string theory scholar, a professor at Caltech." Resal said.

Dudek-Müller nodded. He naturally understood what Resal meant. Mathematical analysis will become more complicated when it involves string theory. He thought about it and said, "Why don't we leave it to Kubo? He Has research on string theory and has reviewed some professional papers."

Resal shook his head, "No need."

As he spoke, he operated the computer and directly replied to the email of 'passed the first trial'.

Dudek-Müller asked, "No first trial? Just go straight to peer review, that's fine."

Then he noticed that Resal replied with a new email, saying that it had passed the 'second review' and that it would be published in the next issue.

This operation made Dudek Muller confused. He opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked, "Don't you need to review it? Just pass it and publish it next week?"

Resal replied to the email, stood up and smiled, "Of course not, just publish it directly. This is Wang Hao's contribution."

"ah?"

Dudek-Müller didn't understand, "What if it's wrong?"

Resal said with a smile, "I still hope it's wrong. He's Wang Hao, so what if he's wrong? He only finds a platform to publish, and we just happen to be lucky."

"Dudek, you have been working for 20 years, but you have to understand that when facing a scholar like Wang Hao, it is not us who make the choice, but he makes the choice."

"Last time, his research was published in the "Science" magazine, and "Science" didn't review the manuscript, understand?"

"Science doesn't review manuscripts?" Dudek-Müller was very surprised.

"They will not review Wang Hao's submissions, and they will also publish them directly."

Resal laughed.

Dudek-Müller is just an ordinary editor. Of course, he does not know some news in the industry. The last time Wang Hao was about to submit a manuscript to "Nature" magazine, he sent an email to inquire. Knowing that the manuscript would be reviewed, he submitted it to "Science" Magazine.

"Science" magazine promised not to review the manuscript, and directly published it in the next issue.

Now the international mathematics, physics circles, and academic journals have reached a consensus that Wang Hao's submission does not need to be reviewed at all, and it will be published directly.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big loss if I missed Wang Hao's contribution?

The current research is obviously very important, and they simply don't care whether the research is correct or not, they can just publish it.

Even if it turns out to be wrong, they will not lose anything, because it is Wang Hao's contribution, and everyone can understand it.

Wang Hao's personal influence has long surpassed that of a professional academic journal.

After returning to the office, Resal happily made a cup of coffee, and sent an email to Wang Hao, explaining that his submission had been approved, and he was directly "accelerated" to process it, and invited him to be a reviewer.

...

Wang Hao saw the email the next day, and it only took one day to pass the review. He was still very satisfied, ""Universe and Microcosm", this magazine is good and very professional."

At the same time, I also noticed the personal email from Resal.

He thought for a while and replied, "I can help you take a look at the math content, and forget about the rest."

When he thought that the paper had passed the review and would be published in the next issue, he suddenly thought of Didier Mayor.

Mayor is an old friend.

Mayor wanted to test the annihilation theory, and had come especially to interview him.

Now that he had the opportunity of experimental verification, Wang Hao simply sent an email to Mayor, explaining that there are new particles in the "183GeV-187GeV" interval.

"Didier, your experimental team can look for new particles in this interval, even if no definite signal can be found, there will be some discoveries."

One sentence is enough.

at the same time.

It was already time for Didier Mayor to get off work. He was about to turn off his computer and leave when he noticed a new email reminder. After clicking on it, he saw Wang Hao's message.

"183GeV-187GeV?"

"New particles?"

His face was filled with surprise immediately, and then he shouted towards the door, "Don't go back in a hurry, guys!"

"Come here, let me explain first, I have work to do tomorrow!"

...

The new semester is here.

A lot of flowers are placed at the main entrance of Xihai University, and a red banner is drawn. At a glance, it seems to welcome the arrival of new students, but a closer look reveals that it is not.

I saw the banner read, "Welcome Fields winner Mr. Kachel-Bilkar, join the Mathematics Research Center of Xihai University!"

Bill Carr has come.

Fields winners joining the university are naturally different from ordinary scholars, and the university has prepared a grand welcome ceremony.

It was the first day that Bilkar officially came to the school. He and Wang Hao walked forward together, followed by many people, principal Yan Fu was one of them.

Wang Hao took Birkar to visit Xihai University, which is actually a process.

Accompanied by others.

Bill Carr joined Xihai University, but it was not the Mason Mathematical Science Laboratory, but the Mathematics Center that was about to be built. He would worry about the deputy director of the Mathematics Center.

Bill Karl seemed to be in high spirits that day. He felt very friendly when he saw Wang Hao, and he talked with Wang Hao about research issues while walking.

They talked about the study of algebraic geometry and the study of semi-topology.

When faced with these professional issues, other people could not intervene at all, so they could only listen along depressedly, but everyone welcomed Bilkar's arrival very much.

The arrival of Bilkar has made Xihai University directly promoted to the first place in the country in terms of algebraic geometry and teachers.

They have introduced more than 20 algebraic geometry scholars, and with the Fields winners in the field of algebraic geometry, the teachers are naturally not comparable to other universities, even Capital University.

Algebraic geometry has become a very popular direction in mathematics.

Because of semi-topology and superconductivity-related research, the media has carried out extensive reports, and let ordinary people know that algebraic geometry and superconductivity research are directly related.

Many undergraduates and graduate students of mathematics, knowing that the direction of algebraic geometry will not worry about work, and can directly engage in research work, naturally hope to develop in the direction of algebraic geometry.

Xihai University already has a great advantage in the competition for talents in the direction of algebraic geometry.

The arrival of Bilkar has allowed the advantages to continue to expand and attract more talents.

They go all the way.

Bill Carr also asked, "Wang Hao, have you done any research recently?"

"There is a small achievement." Wang Hao's sure answer immediately attracted the attention of the surroundings.

"oh?"

Bill Carr became interested, "What field? Superconductivity?"

Wang Hao shook his head, "The theory of annihilation, to be precise, is the study of quantum physics. The paper has already been submitted, "The Universe and the Microcosm."

At this time, Zhu Jianrong couldn't help asking, "Wang Hao, are you sure it's a small achievement?"

He knew Wang Hao too well.

Sometimes, the small achievements that Wang Hao mentioned may be very big achievements, because he always described his own achievements as small achievements.

Modesty perhaps?

Wang Hao explained, "It is related to the theory of annihilation, which is the analysis of decay."

"Theoretical physics!" Bill Carl suddenly realized.

Wang Hao nodded.

Zhu Jianrong nodded as well, thinking about the research of theoretical physics, maybe it is indeed a small achievement?

Complicated mathematical structures, no matter how much they are studied, are still just theories. Without experimental verification, it is hard to call it a 'big achievement'.

Of course, it was only relative to Wang Hao.

It is also a paper published in the top journal, and it is definitely a big achievement for someone else.

...

Tuesday.

"Cosmos and Microcosm" published a new issue, which did not attract much attention at first.

This is mainly because research related to quantum physics seems to have stagnated. Since the discovery of the Higgs particle, until now, there have been no major achievements in quantum physics.

Even in the quantum physics industry, some physicists are waiting for the second test experiment of particle collision next month, and they subconsciously feel that there will be no new results before the experiment.

Therefore, not many scholars checked "The Universe and the Microcosm" for the first time.

Ledley Parsons is an exception.

As a theoretical physicist, he subscribed to Cosmos and the Microcosm, and recently he has been very leisurely. When he noticed a new issue, he opened it and glanced at the catalog of the new issue.

Then Ledley-Parsons noticed a paper -- "Resolution of Decay and Undiscovered Particles."

He noticed the paper, not because of the title of the paper, but because of the authors of the paper, and one of the very familiar names came into view.

"Paul Phil Jones?"

Ledley Parsons thought he had misread it, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, only to be sure that what he saw was Paul Phil Jones.

"Xihai University?"

"So he went to Xihai University!"

Ledley-Parsons paid attention to the title of the paper again, and after checking the initial introduction of the paper, he suddenly became confused, "Does the annihilation force have a higher dimension?"

"In other words, this research is related to the annihilation theory..."

"But, why is there Paul's name? Isn't it a mistake?"

With extreme surprise on his face, he talked to himself for a long time before he finally came to his senses, his eyes widened, he slammed the table and shouted, "Paul, this guy actually ran across China to study the annihilation theory ? Do research with Wang Hao, and there are new results!"

"F-ck!"

"Traitor! Bastard!"

"Too shameless!"

"I thought he was a loyalist of string theory, but it turns out that he is the biggest traitor!"
