From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

"You for a scientific career?"

"I do it for money?"

"To develop a career, isn't it just to make more money!"

Ledley Parsons felt like he was going to explode when he saw the email from Paul Phil Jones.

he is very angry!

At the same time, I was very unconvinced!

Although it is true that he studies the theory of annihilation for more funds, it is by no means purely a 'fraud fund'. Anyway, he is also a full professor at Florida State University.

Full professors, that is, tenured professors, naturally have a certain level of ability.

After determining the direction of the new field, he also hopes to achieve results, unlike string theory, where there are no results at all after several years of research.

He is only pursuing more results, and pursuing research results is naturally also pursuing science.

How did it become money?

"I'm also doing it for my career!"

"A career in science!"

Ledley Parsons couldn't help gnashing his teeth while looking at the contents of the email. He didn't reply to the email at all, but continued to look at the information in his hand with anger.

It was the printed "Resolution of Decay and Undiscovered Particles" paper.

Ledley-Parsons has been poring over the math.

He is indeed very level.

It's hard to say how many levels of research there are, but there is no problem with basic abilities.

After carefully studying the content, he knew that the theoretical basis of the new achievement is that "the annihilation force has a higher dimension than the other three microcosmic forces", and at the same time, he also expanded his thinking based on this.

The dimension is high, and there are two directions for academic understanding.

One direction is a very direct causal relationship. The simple understanding is that the other three microcosmic forces are stimulated because of the existence of annihilation force.

The more substitutions in the middle, the higher the dimension will naturally be.

For example, if A leads to B, and B leads to C, then A is two dimensions higher than C, and one dimension higher than B.

Another understanding is purely dimensional properties, such as three-dimensional space and two-dimensional plane.

When a three-dimensional substance acts on a two-dimensional space, the impact is naturally very large. To give a very simple example, a flat piece of paper is soaked by a drop of water. When the water drop hits the paper, it will spread the area. The thinner the paper, the wider the area. The larger the area.

If the paper is infinitely close to a two-dimensional plane, theoretically, the entire plane will be wetted by water.

The above scene seen from a three-dimensional perspective.

From the point of view of two-dimensional paper, it will be like a sudden explosion at a certain point, and the scope of influence will become larger and larger.

This is the effect of 3D on 2D.

What if it is the influence of 4D on 3D? The scenario may also be similar, a certain point erupts suddenly, spreads from fast to slow, and the impact becomes bigger and bigger.

Thinking within the scope of theoretical physics, it is easy to think of a theory --

The Big Bang!

The understanding of "high dimension" in the above two academic fields sounds completely different, but the mathematical expressions are exactly the same.

Ledley-Parsons subconsciously judged the latter. He has been engaged in the research of string theory for a long time, and subconsciously thinks from the perspective of string theory mathematics. Naturally, he can think of the big bang theory, because part of the mathematical analysis of the big bang The mathematical content of string theory is also used.

The annihilation force has a higher dimension than the other three microcosmic forces, which means that the annihilation force may be one of the root causes of the Big Bang.

Thinking from this perspective, there are too many directions that can be expanded.

"Perhaps it is possible to combine the high-dimensional nature of the annihilation force and use the mathematics of string theory as the basis to re-analyze the big bang mathematically..."

"This allows an extension of annihilation theory based on string theory."

"At the same time, part of the content can be directly shaped by Paul's high-dimensional model..."

Ledley Parsons thought about his bright eyes, and slammed the table hard, "I—"

"What a genius!"

...

Xihai University.

Wang Hao was sitting in the office, carefully looking at the obscure paper materials in his hand, and he was going to make up for the content of quantum physics and theoretical physics.

In the process of conducting research with Paul Phil Jones, he found that he was indeed lacking in theoretical physics and quantum physics.

This lack is not based on the foundation, but that he has not engaged in professional and in-depth research.

Even the theory of annihilation is 'innovative' in many places. Because of this, the mathematical foundation of the theory of annihilation is divorced from the system in many places. It sounds good to have a school of its own, but previous research cannot be all wrong , or even say that most of them are correct, and the theories will naturally be combined slowly if they need to carry out follow-up research.

It is not a big deal if there is a lack of content in other fields. After all, it is impossible for a person to be proficient in all knowledge, but whether it is the analysis of the Young-Mills equation or the study of annihilation theory, it is inseparable from quantum physics and theoretical physics.

When he really devoted himself to the study, he found that he was reading various papers slowly, and the learning speed was really too slow.

So he decided to open classes.

In this regard, Wang Hao also discussed with Paul Phil-Jones and learned some in-depth basic content of quantum physics and theoretical physics.

What he said was, "Hopefully, it can popularize theoretical physics-related knowledge to graduate students."

"Teaching is also very important."

"We not only need to do our own research, but also train the next generation..."

Paul Phil-Jones was very puzzled, because he felt that he and Wang Hao were the "next generation", and they were not much older than graduate students and doctoral students.

Now Wang Hao is only twenty-seven years old, not even as old as some doctoral students.

He is only thirty-one years old.

Paul Phil-Jones also understands the importance of teaching. While at Caltech, he also taught a few undergraduate classes and taught a graduate course, but the memories are far from fond.

The IQs of those undergraduates and postgraduates are too low, and they can't keep up with the progress of the courses at all, which leads many students to simply give up.

Now I hear that classes are going to start...

"You said, open class? Will there be many people coming to the class?"

"Besides, you want to talk about some difficult knowledge?" Paul Phil Jones confirmed.

"right."

Wang Hao nodded.

Paul Phil-Jones suddenly said, "I will also participate? Let's go together!"

"Why?"

Wang Hao tugged at the corner of his mouth, and someone snatched up an open class?

"I like to teach some difficult knowledge, and I have never had so many students." Paul Phil-Jones said sincerely, "I have never given a lecture to more than a hundred students. I am looking forward to it."

"—?"

Wang Hao suddenly had a bad premonition, and he asked, "Didn't you start a class? Quantum Chaos?"

Paul Phil-Jones said gloomily, "For elective courses, only a few students will come, and some of them are still your students."

Wang Hao's half-opened mouth froze for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and nodded in agreement.

After a brief discussion with Paul Phil-Jones, he decided to give a lecture on theoretical physics and add some quantum physics content later.

This course is not a single class, but eight consecutive large classes, which will be held in the morning and afternoon of Saturdays, facing graduate students and doctoral students majoring in mathematics and physics.

After a brief discussion with Paul Phil-Jones, he went back to the office and went to the student's workshop to ask his own students what he thought was wrong.

Chen Mengmeng, Helen and Xu Chao were all there.

"You all listen to Paul's class, right? How is his class?" Wang Hao asked directly.

Helen nodded seriously, "Very well! I think he is excellent."

Chen Mengmeng nodded in embarrassment.

Xu Chao grinned.

Wang Hao wondered, "Then why are there only a few students attending the class?"

Helen thought about it carefully, and said, "Maybe they think Paul is very young?" After she finished speaking, she explained, "The other teachers are all older."

At this time, Chen Mengmeng added weakly, "Maybe there is another possibility? They can't keep up with the progress?" She said and aimed at Xu Chao.

Xu Chao hurriedly coughed lightly, walked over and dragged Wang Hao aside and whispered, "Mr. Wang, don't listen to Helen, Mr. Jones's lecture...too fast!"

"Too fast?"

"Yes, it's too fast to keep up. I'm listening carefully from the beginning to the end, but the speed is too fast. He seems to want to teach the whole book in one class. And, how should I put it..." He thought for a while Then he continued, "The speech is very jumpy. Whenever he encounters a difficult question, he directly writes down the answer, and he doesn't know how to explain it. He even adds a sentence of 'I don't need to talk about this'... ..."

"I couldn't understand it from the second class!"

"Now there are only a few students following the class. Anyway, I didn't go there last time."

Only then did Wang Hao understand.

Talking too fast?

No wonder!

There is a gap between people.

The reason why Helen thinks that Paul Phil Jones speaks well is because she can understand and keep up. Chen Mengmeng has been studying quantum physics with Helen for a long time. Her IQ and learning ability are not bad, and she is usually very good. Working hard is naturally not a big problem.

Xu Chao...

This guy definitely can't!

If the explanation speed is too fast, the difficulties are all passed by, and naturally it will be difficult for few students to keep up.

Wang Hao was thinking just now, why Paul Phil Jones said that he has not given lectures to more than a hundred people, and he is a full professor at Caltech, which sounds very strange.

All doubts are now cleared.

"This guy won't always measure students by his own thinking and learning ability?"

"Difficult, take it directly?"

"No wonder!"

Wang Hao regretted cooperating with Paul Phil-Jones to offer an open class.

On the other hand, Paul Phil-Jones felt very much looking forward to it. He hadn't taught more than a hundred students yet, so he felt a sense of novelty when he thought about it.

So he was more active than Wang Hao. After confirming the course, he even went to Luan Haiping to "remind the class". As a result, the School of Science immediately promoted it.

When I go up on Saturday of the week, the course officially begins.

The Faculty of Science has carried out internal publicity, and almost all graduate students and doctoral students know about it.

Wang Hao's courses are naturally very attractive.

Paul Phil-Jones is also very attractive. His "teaching reputation" in the school is not great, because he has just started teaching and only opened an elective course. Few students know him, but his "research" Fame' is great, after all, he is a professor at Caltech, and the university also promoted him personally, saying that he is a top expert in string theory.

In addition, his research with Wang Hao has long been known by many people.

Before the morning class started, there were already many people in the classroom, not only graduate students and doctoral students, but also many school teachers, and even a dozen professors of mathematics and physics.

Whether it is Wang Hao or Paul Phil Jones, they are indeed qualified to teach ordinary professors.

Before the course started, there was a lot of discussion in the big classroom, "Paul Phil Jones is one of the top ten figures in the field of string theory."

"He and Professor Wang Hao's research has been published in the top academic journals of physics, and new particles have been predicted through analysis and calculation."

"I saw last time that a research team has confirmed new particles at the particle collider, but the confidence level has not yet reached five standard deviations."

"Ms. Jones is giving a lecture in the morning. Listen to it. I guess his speech is not bad."

"Although he is indeed very good personally, how come I heard that he can't listen to his class at all!"

"..."

Amid all the discussions, Paul Phil-Jones came to the classroom. He walked directly to the podium, saw hundreds of faces in the audience, and even felt a little nervous.

Of course, more is to look forward to.

He prepared a lot for the course, and even took out the recorded content, then glanced at it and said, "I'm Paul Phil Jones, you can call me Mr. Jones."

"Lessons begin now..."

He suddenly thought of something, and then added, "I heard from some students that my lecture speed is too fast, and considering the difficulty of this class, I will try to slow down..."

This sentence reassures students who understand Paul Phil-Jones courses a little bit.

Paul Phil-Jones officially entered the teaching state, "I won't talk about the basic content, let's talk about nonlinear mechanics and chaos first..."

"The basic law of particle motion, from Newtonian mechanics to Lagrangian mechanics, to Hamiltonian mechanics, from the study of the most common forms of motion in nature, to the in-depth study of the two most common forms of motion in nature, including heart force field motion and Vibrations and waves..."

After a preliminary brief introduction, the course entered the formal content, "Lorenz designed a simplified model of atmospheric convection, and after the model was simplified, a set of three ordinary differential equations was obtained, namely Lorentz equation……"

Paul Phil-Jones was writing down the Lorentz equation, and approached, "There is no need to explain this equation. Next, let's talk about the butterfly effect..."

"Deriving from this column formula, we can find that..."

"Obviously, the equation transforms into a second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation..."

"everybody knows……"

"obviously……"

"This place can be skipped, and we can draw a conclusion..."

"I should understand..."

Wang Hao sat in the first row and listened patiently to Paul Phil-Jones' explanation, but after only ten minutes of the explanation, he felt very weird.

Of course he could understand.

But he thinks it's just because he doesn't even need to listen to know the content.

If you have enough basic knowledge, or have learned most of the content through self-study, it is probably possible to understand the course, but without the above prerequisites, it feels difficult to keep up with the progress.

"Is this still 'slowing down' the progress? If it doesn't slow down, what will it be like?"

He really didn't know how to comment, so he couldn't help but turned his head and glanced.

There are far fewer people in the classroom.

Many students simply stood up and went out through the back door openly, and there were students walking back all the time, obviously not going to continue listening.

There are fewer and fewer people in the classroom.

An hour later, there were less than fifty people left in the classroom, half of them were teachers from the Faculty of Science, and a few students simply slept on their desks.

Wang Hao glanced at the classroom again, and suddenly felt very relieved, because there were still about ten students listening carefully.

That's already amazing!

For a course with this pace, it is completely acceptable if there are two or three students who can listen carefully.

Apparently Paul Phil-Jones has also noticed that from the initial anticipation and nervousness, he no longer has any smile on his face.

...

Finally, the course is over.

Wang Hao didn't know how he got through it, but he felt that Paul Phil Jones's feelings must be more painful.

When the last part of the content was finished, several students and the teacher who continued to save face all left the classroom impatiently.

Of course, Wang Hao couldn't leave directly. He walked over and patted Paul Phil-Jones on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much, Paul."

Paul Phil-Jones was indeed a little sad. He couldn't understand why the students all left halfway, and couldn't help but asked in frustration, "Is it because my speech is so bad?"

"……no?"

Wang Hao hesitated, and felt that he should comfort him, "Maybe the difficulty of the course is set too high. Think about it, start directly from nonlinear mechanics. Even your "Quantum Chaos" is not so difficult, yes. Bar?"

Paul Phil-Jones thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but nodded, "So that's the case. It seems that our lesson plan is not done well, but we can't change it now..."

He suddenly began to worry about Wang Hao, "Your afternoon class is to continue this part of knowledge, can it work? Otherwise, let's re-study the course content?"

"No."

Wang Hao waved his hand and said seriously, "Students, please come as many as you can. Even if there is only one student in the classroom, I will finish the lecture according to the plan."

Paul Phil-Jones thought about the scene where there was only one student in the audience, and he insisted on giving a serious lecture, and suddenly felt that he was much happier in comparison.

He sighed, "Wang Hao, it's really hard for you!"
