Genius of the Rules-Style System

Shuimu University, Mathematical Sciences Center.

Qiu Chengwen walked into the office. He was carrying a briefcase and looked a little tired. In the past few days, he had gone to Los Angeles to attend a lecture at the University of California, Los Angeles, and had just returned to Shuimu University.

The Mathematical Science Center was just established, so if you want to make good discoveries, you must pay attention to it. As soon as he returned to the capital, he came over to take a look at the accumulated work.

He needs to review several job applications and respond to messages sent by some people. There are also other chores, such as invitations to academic conferences and lectures, which need to be reviewed personally before making a decision.

After opening his personal mailbox, Qiu Chengwen saw a strange email, which was sent by the "Journal of Mathematical Physics". It came with two marked documents and the content was 'invite him to participate in the review'.

"Invited me to be a reviewer? Could it be a paper submitted by a teacher from Shuimu University or a student?" Qiu Chengwen clicked in to check and immediately noticed that the author of the paper was signed by Zhao Yi.

"Zhao Yi's paper? Research on supersymmetry?"

"interesting……"

Qiu Chengwen immediately downloaded the file, clicked on it, and patiently read on. The more he read, the more energetic he became. The first review was about analyzing supersymmetry using the mathematical framework of particle boundary theory.

This research angle is very unique. Zhao Yi is probably the only one in the world who can do this, because the boundary theory of particles is his thing.

Qiu Chengwen has studied the boundary theory of particles and has an in-depth understanding of its mathematical structure. His academic level is quite high.

He is recognized as a top mathematician. Most people's impression of him is that he is very good in the field of mathematics. In fact, he also has in-depth research in the field of physics, and even has many achievements.

Thirty years ago, Qiu Chengwen conducted research on the Calabi Conjecture. His research proved that most of the ten-dimensional space-time required by the "Theory of Everything" is curled and disappears into what is now called the Calabi-Yau space. Out of sight.

Later, Qiu Chengwen proved another important result about Einstein's general theory of relativity: any solution to Einstein's equations must have positive energy.

Qiu Chengwen has also been doing research related to Einstein's "Positive Mass Conjecture". He also discussed this issue with Hawking and gained Hawking's high admiration. The "Positive Mass Conjecture" is directly related to Hawking's black hole research. The two There are common topics in physics research.

With Qiu Chengwen's academic level in mathematics and physics, it was perfect for him to review theoretical physics papers on particle mathematics. However, when he understood the content of the paper in depth, he suddenly encountered difficulties because there were many in it. Mathematical analysis, especially when it comes to prime number energy, is somewhat difficult to understand.

He is indeed a top mathematician, but when it comes to analytic number theory and hyperboloid complex geometry, coupled with particle mathematics, it is still based on the boundary theory of particles...

So obscure!

Qiu Chengwen read it bit by bit. The good news is that as long as he thinks carefully and demonstrates seriously, there is nothing that he can't understand or understand at all. But the speed of understanding is also very slow. There are a few lines about energy. It took him more than half an hour to discuss the distribution and even did some function calculations before he fully understood it.

"It's indeed theoretical physics."

Qiu Chengwen spoke with a sarcastic tone, then smiled bitterly, "This is too complicated."

"old!"

…

Yang Zhenning is really old.

Yang Zhenning and Qiu Chengwen saw the emails at about the same time. The difference is that Qiu Chengwen opened the mailbox and saw it himself, while Yang Zhenning told him about it from his wife Weng Hong.

Weng Hong is more than fifty years younger than Yang Zhenning. After marrying Yang Zhenning, she became not only his wife, but also his work and life assistant, and was also responsible for checking the emails he received.

When she found an email from the magazine with an attachment to the paper, she checked that the author's signature was Zhao Yi, and immediately told Yang Zhenning.

Yang Zhenning was watching the news when he heard Weng Hong say that there was a review email for Zhao Yi's paper, and he immediately walked over with interest, "Zhao Yi's theoretical physics paper?"

"The Journal of Mathematical Physics sent it to me, inviting me to review it? It should have been recommended by Zhao Yi himself."

As he spoke, he thought of the last time they met at Jiangzhou University and couldn't help but sigh, "Zhao Yi, that kid is really a genius. His peers are still in school, and he is already well-known to everyone. Remember last time, Jiang Zhou, he said he was studying particle mathematics and was very interested in the problem of parity non-conservation. I told him a lot. I didn’t expect that he would have results so soon.”

Weng Hong nodded. She also went to Jiangzhou University last time and met Zhao Yi once. She smiled and said, "Just watch, I'll make a cup of tea."

"Go ahead."

Yang Zhenning smiled softly at Weng Hong, then sat at the table and looked at it carefully. He and Qiu Chengwen had similar reactions. They both watched with interest at first, then frowned slightly, just feeling The content inside is very obscure and difficult to understand.

He is really old and cannot be compared with Qiu Chengwen.

After reading about a page of content, Yang Zhenning stood up tremblingly, walked to the balcony and looked out the window, then sat on the wicker chair to rest.

Weng Hong asked in confusion, "Why don't you watch it?"

Yang Zhenning shook his head with a wry smile and said with emotion, "I'm old. I feel tired after watching for a while and can't keep up." He pointed at his head, because he was really old and he usually didn't say such things. , but when I read the content of the paper just now, I felt very tired after only reading a short paragraph, and I couldn’t help but sigh.

Weng Hong frowned slightly and asked strangely, "Why do you say that?"

Yang Zhenning shook his head and stopped talking.

Although he was sitting on a wicker chair to rest, he couldn't help but think about the main thoughts in the paper. He was very tired from thinking all the time.

Weng Hong felt a little worried, "Since you haven't read it, don't think about it. If you look like this, I know you are thinking about that paper."

"good."

Yang Zhenning narrowed his eyes and nodded.

at the same time.

Ruan Wenye, Zhang Hongzhi and Huang Zhong all saw the invitation review email in their mailbox. They downloaded it with interest and began to study it seriously.

Ruan Wenye is engaged in collider data analysis and has a good understanding of quantum physics, but it still gives him a headache when it comes to complex mathematical structures based on particle physics and analytic number theory.

He only read one page and stopped continuing. Instead, he sent a reply email directly to the editorial department of the Journal of Mathematical Physics, "The content of this supersymmetry research paper is too profound and complicated, but since it is Zhao Yi's For research, my opinion is to be published directly without review.”

The editorial board of the Journal of Mathematical Physics could only smile bitterly when they saw the reply email.

What Ruan Wenye said makes sense.

Zhao Yi is the world's top mathematician. Theoretical physics is a branch of mathematics. He uses the particle boundary theory he created to study supersymmetry. It seems good to publish it directly. Who can compare with his mathematical ability? What's better?

Zhang Hongzhi is the director of the Department of Physics of the Academy of Sciences. He is a very face-conscious person, but his research direction is the most inappropriate. He has not even read a page and plans to find a group of people to study together.

"Isn't this too complicated?"

"I haven't studied the energy construction of particles seriously, have I? I need to study the energy construction problem first before I can continue to look at it..."

"never mind!"

Papers that have been reviewed but not published have confidentiality issues and cannot be studied by a group of people.

Zhang Hongzhi simply wrote a comment email directly, "The mathematical description of the supersymmetry problem in the paper is very classic, and the angle of argument is eye-catching."

"Particle boundary theory, which is a completely new theoretical physics, creates a new discipline. By extension, it can prove supersymmetry and maybe prove other things."

"I am looking forward……"

Zhang Hongzhi showed his excellent writing skills and wrote several long paragraphs of comments. Then he thought about it and chose a scheduled reply by email. The time scheduled was three days later.

"Three days, that's about it, right?" He thought about it and felt that he had not missed anything.

Huang Zhong is the most serious.

He has been engaged in particle physics research, so of course his mathematical proficiency is needless to say. He has also done research related to number theory. After he saw the paper, it was like seeing a treasure. He read it at three o'clock in the morning and couldn't bear it before going to bed. past.

The next day, Huang Zhong gave lectures to the students with fatigue. He was a little lack of energy during the lectures, but after returning to the office after class, he immediately reopened the paper page and continued researching in high spirits.

…

Three days passed.

The editorial board of "Journal of Mathematical Physics" received replies from Ruan Wenye and Zhang Hongzhi successively. Ruan Wenye did not do any research at all and went back to work immediately. Zhang Hongzhi's comments came really quickly.

For an obscure theoretical physics research paper, there are dozens of pages of mathematical structure and proofs, covering knowledge in many fields. It only takes a week to study it carefully, and it is really amazing to finish it in three days.

Time, another week has passed.

The editorial department received an email from Qiu Chengwen. He complained in his review reply, "This review is really causing trouble for me. In the past ten days, I spent six or seven hours a day on it, and the result was only understanding. The general structure was lost, and some of the proof parts were simply abandoned.”

"Based on the parts I've seen, I can guarantee there's no problem."

"This is a mathematical theoretical study to analyze the supersymmetry problem based on the energy composition of the particle boundary. It explains the reasons for their symmetry from the energy prime number distribution of Fermats and bosons."

"Finally, the formation of particles was explained. This can be compared with the collision data. I verified it with some public experimental data, and the results are consistent with the data description in the paper."

"So far, supersymmetry is still a mystery in the physics world. The paper uses a mathematical description of energy composition to illustrate the principle of symmetry and reasonably explains the symmetry at the beginning of particle formation. Its theoretical content has formed a closed loop and has been published. It’s bound to cause a stir.”

Qiu Chengwen used the word "sensation" to predict the impact of publication, which shows that he attaches great importance to the content of the paper.

The editorial board of "Journal of Mathematical Physics" is not surprised. They have been engaged in professional academic review for a long time, and they still have a certain ability to judge the influence of Zhao Yi's paper. Even without Qiu Chengwen's reply, they decided to publish the paper in the next issue. Published in both mid-term and English editions of the magazine.

The editorial department was surprised that Qiu Chengwen said, "I spent six or seven hours a day on research for ten consecutive days."

Ten days?

In other words, Qiu Chengwen studied for sixty or seventy hours before looking at the paper in general, rather than demonstrating it in detail from beginning to end.

Where is Zhang Hongzhi?

Three days!

"Zhang Hongzhi's level is pretty good. He completed the review in three days! Several times faster than Master Qiu!"

"As expected, he is the leader of the physics department!"

"awesome!"

People in the editorial department have speculations about what the specific situation is.

Qiu Chengwen is not as old as Yang Zhenning. He is only in his sixties. He has a clear mind and good energy. He can win the Fields Medal and has achieved some achievements in physics. His level must be among the best in the world.

So Zhang Hongzhi probably didn’t read the manuscript carefully and just wrote a review.

Of course.

You can't talk about this kind of thing directly. They invited Zhang Hongzhi to participate in the review, and the other party also responded. They will just record the comments when the time comes.

Two more days passed.

The editorial department finally received a review reply message from Yang Zhenning. He said clearly, "I haven't finished reading it, but the parts I have read are fine."

"Only Zhao Yi can solve the problem of supersymmetry based on particle energy theory, but the content is indeed exciting."

"Perfect mathematical structure, perfect theoretical logic."

"I'm sure that many people will be interested in particle boundary theory soon."

"This paper demonstrating supersymmetry can be called the 'first revolution in particle boundary theory'!"

Yang Zhenning’s “first revolution” refers to the revolution of string theory.

Before the 1980s, string theory was not viewed favorably. Edward Witten expanded the string theory and used perfect mathematical demonstration and analysis to create the 'superstring theory', which unified quantum mechanics and general relativity. Attracted countless mathematicians and physicists.

This was the first revolution in string theory.

The development of a theoretical physics discipline requires basic theories to confirm or accommodate content that cannot be proven temporarily.

‘Superstring theory’, which unifies quantum mechanics and general relativity, will naturally attract the attention of countless people.

Previously, the boundary theory of particles was only considered to have the potential to 'establish a sect'. It used the boundary energy construction method to explain the 'irregularity' of particles, explain the reasons why particles disappear, and explain problems such as 'absolute zero cannot be reached'.

Although the mathematical logic contained is very classic and has solved some problems, it can actually be attributed to the fact that "particles must keep moving". Because particles need to keep moving, they cannot reach absolute zero and stop. The movement will dissipate.

Now that the particle boundary theory has reaffirmed the problem of supersymmetry, it will definitely make the particle boundary theory more recognized by more people, and the academic community will definitely be curious, "Whether the particle boundary theory can be used to answer more questions? Or even to achieve the unification of mechanics?”

When more mathematicians and physicists participate in the study of particle boundary theory, it can be said that a revolution has been completed, and the 'particle boundary theory school' was formed unconsciously.

…

Zhao Yike did not think that deeply. He received news from the editorial board of the "Journal of Mathematical Physics" that the paper he contributed would be published in the next issue of the Chinese and English version of the magazine.

This is to be expected.

With his fame and influence, as long as there are no direct errors in the paper, even if it is meaningless to publish, it will definitely pass the editorial review and be published in the next issue of the magazine.

As for the impact of publishing it...

In fact, he has not considered it at all, because the content of the research is theoretical physics. To explain it straightforwardly, the boundary theory of particles cannot be proven for the time being, because particles cannot be separated in reality, and some particles even require detailed data analysis. Only then can you be sure that it existed.

The boundary theory of particles cannot be proven, and the analytical research based on it is naturally just a theory.

This paper describing the analysis of supersymmetry is only a small part of the proof halfway through the study of multidimensional space boundary problems in collaboration with Edward Witten.

After completing the theoretical elaboration of supersymmetry, the content of particle energy is almost complete. Next, we can combine the constructed mathematical system. The next step is to study the logic of how particles are given mass, and then deduce the boundaries of multi-dimensional space, that is The logic of the Higgs mechanism.

The latter also needs to be supplemented by the research content of Edward Witten.

Zhao Yi also had some expectations.

Although it is said that the research is "content that cannot be proved", through in-depth analysis using mathematical methods, in the end it may be possible to unify the four major forces. Even if it is only a part of the theoretical research, as long as the research content is in-depth enough, it can be deduced Come up with something that can be proven by reality, and maybe one day in the future, his theory can be verified.

By the time……

Comparable to Einstein? Maybe become more famous?

Zhao Yi quickly gave up his fantasy and shook his head in distress. He spent so much energy on physics research, but the main content was theoretical physics. A theory that cannot be proven is unlikely to be accepted by the Nobel Committee.

That is to say...

No matter how in-depth you study particle physics, even if you complete research on the boundaries of multi-dimensional space, complete a complete set of theories and form a closed loop, because it cannot be proven, it is impossible to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

However, the system has released the main task of the Nobel Prize in Physics. How to solve it?
