Genius of the Rules-Style System

"Journal of Mathematical Physics?"

Edward Witten thought carefully for a long time and asked with confusion, "It's "Frontiers of Mathematics and Physics" organized by Oxford University..."

"no."

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "It's a domestic magazine, and the organizer is the domestic Academy of Sciences, right? I haven't studied the details carefully."

Edward Witten nodded understandingly and stopped making comments.

In fact, he wanted to complain about how he submitted his article to an unknown magazine, but when he heard it was said to be a 'Chinese domestic magazine', he knew that Zhao Yi wanted to submit his article to a magazine in his own country to support the academic development of mathematics in his country. .

This is also normal.

Science has no national boundaries, but every scientist will support his own country and hope that his country's science and technology will develop better.

If country M's technological level and influence were not already among the best in the world, Edward Witten felt that he would have similar thoughts.

Now Zhao Yi already has this ability.

Although you only submit a manuscript to publish a research result, the impact of the research results will increase the influence of the journal that publishes the results.

An important indicator for judging the global influence of a magazine is the ‘impact factor’.

The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of citations of papers published within a period of time by the total number of papers published in a fixed period of time. According to this calculation method, publishing papers with higher weight and more attention will undoubtedly increase the impact of the journal. factor.

The world's top journals publish papers with very high impact, and the impact factor will naturally become very large.

It is difficult for ordinary academic journals to submit heavyweight papers, and it is difficult to increase the impact factor.

Similarly, when a paper is submitted to a journal with a low impact factor, it will be difficult for it to be taken seriously because the amount of attention it receives is limited.

Most scholars will choose journals with higher impact factors based on their own achievements. As a result, journals with low impact factors will only receive some "poor grade" papers, and it will be difficult to increase the impact factor.

The two are complementary to each other.

Zhao Yi publishes papers with major achievements in journals with low impact factors, which is completely equivalent to support for the journal, which is also support for his own domestic academic development.

Edward Witten and Zhao Yi learned about the full name of the published magazine and searched for the relevant introduction of the magazine before hanging up the video.

At this time, Edward Witten thought back to his chat with Zhao Yi, and suddenly felt like being "Versailles". He didn't know the word "Versailles", but the more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

Just now he talked about his research results in a showy manner, thinking that Zhao Yi really had no results, but the other party said nonchalantly that he had completed the research on supersymmetry.

really.

Zhao Yi did not complete the direct demonstration of supersymmetry, but used his own particle boundary theory to complete the demonstration. However, 'supersymmetry' cannot be demonstrated in the first place!

Supersymmetry is only theoretical for the time being.

In the existing quantum physics system, each elementary particle has a particle called supersymmetry to match it. The spin of the supersymmetry partner differs by one-half from the original particle (that is, the boson The supersymmetric partner of is a fermion, and the supersymmetric partner of a fermion is a boson). The two have the same mass, and there is a very clear correlation between the various coupling constants.

It has been nearly thirty years since supersymmetry was proposed, but no supersymmetric partner of any known particle has been experimentally observed, and even conclusive indirect evidence has not been found. Despite this, the extraordinary theoretical charm of supersymmetry still makes its status in theoretical physics continue to rise, and traces of the concept of supersymmetry can be seen in almost all frontier fields of physics.

A specific theoretical concept has survived for nearly thirty years without any experimental support, and has grown with luxuriant leaves and flowers. This is rare in theoretical physics. Once confirmed by experiments, it will cause The sensation is self-evident, as Weinberg (one of the proposers of the electroweak unified theory) said, it would be "a shocking achievement of pure theoretical insight."

Of course, conversely, if supersymmetry is unfortunately disproven, its domino effect will be catastrophic, and the entire theoretical physics community will be devastated.

Now it can be said that supersymmetry has become the basis for the existence of many physical theories. However, 'supersymmetry' has never been experimentally verified. Many mathematicians and physicists also hope that a theory will emerge that can support the existence of 'supersymmetry'. A new argument for supersymmetry's so-called symmetry and explanation of why it cannot be discovered experimentally.

Zhao Yi, said he was done.

Edward Witten thought about Zhao Yi's expression. He seemed to be regretting that there was no direct confirmation. He had an urge to vomit blood. After forcibly eliminating the negative emotions in his mind, he suddenly became energetic and called immediately. A relevant person from the university said, "Pay attention to the Journal of Mathematical Physics published in China. After the next issue is published, I want to get it as soon as possible. I want both Chinese and English versions!"

"This is important, important, important!"

Edward Witten emphasized it three times in a row, which also confused the relevant personnel.

Journal of Mathematical Physics?

Issued in China?

"Is there anything special about this magazine?" Some people also discussed, "Professor Witten actually said 'very important', and said it three times in one breath."

Edward Witten is the Charles Shimoni Professor of Mathematical Physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He is like an 'academic star', covering the Institute for Advanced Study and even Princeton University, covering the academic circles of M country and the world. They all have countless admirers and admirers.

After someone revealed the news, many people paid attention to the "Journal of Mathematical Physics". Some people subscribed to the previous issues and did not find anything special. They could only follow the new issue. , but it’s a pity that the new issue will not be released for more than a week, so they still have to wait a long time.

…

Zhao Yi doesn't know how Edward Witten feels. In fact, he is not a 'Versailles', but really feels that demonstrating supersymmetry is just an ordinary research, because the research itself is just to demonstrate the 'multidimensional space boundary' system a small part of.

In addition, it is impossible to prove supersymmetry based on the boundary theory of particles. A theory that cannot be proved will definitely have much less significance.

To a certain extent, Zhao Yi is still very realist. He cares more about the kind of research that can be confirmed, rather than the content that simply exists in theory. It may also be related to the main task. Theoretical things cannot win the Nobel Prize. Physics Prize, while the main mission requires the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The video conversation with Edward Witten was also very rewarding.

Zhao Yi had some ideas in completing the main task. What he is good at, or the physical results he has completed, are mainly particle mathematics and theoretical physics, but the theory may also become a reality.

Theoretical physics is not completely unprovable. Just like a series of Higgs theories, including the Higgs particle and the Higgs field, they were all theoretical at first, but they have all been proven by experiments.

Studying particle mathematics more deeply and connecting it with reality, inferring possible phenomena, and proving them in experiments will definitely be enough to win the Nobel Prize in Physics and break the boundaries between theory and reality. The key lies in researching more Close to reality.

The more some physical theories are studied, the further away they are from reality, and the more unexplainable things are found, leading researchers to draw some "unbelievable conclusions." Because of this, many famous physics theories Everyone has turned from atheistic arguments to studying philosophy and theology.

Zhao Yi didn't want to be like that. The direction he set for his efforts was to change from theory to reality, rather than from theory to more theory.

So he studied quarks.

When we continue to conduct in-depth research on particle mathematics, we cannot avoid the four basic forces, which are the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force and the universal gravitation.

The strong and weak forces are inescapable in particle mathematics.

The most obvious manifestation of strong force is quark. In the existing physical system, quark has an anti-logical force characteristic-

The greater the distance, the stronger the attraction.

This is strength.

Quarks that exist alone have never been found in experiments. Scientific experiments have shown that the farther the distance between quarks, the stronger the attraction. Quarks cannot be too far apart because they will be forcibly pulled together by the strong force.

Zhao Yi thought about the theory of ‘giving quality’ and felt that strength was the breakthrough point.

The existence of strong force is contrary to logic. It is precisely because of the contrary logic that there are abnormalities and it is possible to become the so-called "quality is the manifestation of a higher dimension" in Edward Witten's mouth.

If quality is the manifestation of a higher dimension, it is naturally inexplicable by the existing three-dimensional theory.

However, if you want to think and do research specifically, you still have to rely on a lot of data and inspiration from other aspects. If you want to combine the particle boundary theory with the generation of mass and the four major forces, the first step How to cross over is very difficult.

soon.

More than a week has passed.

On this day, the "Journal of Mathematical Physics" released the latest content. The original release process was that the Chinese version of the magazine was published first, and two issues of the content were excerpted half a month later and an English version of the magazine was published. However, due to Zhao Yi's When the supersymmetry paper was submitted, the editorial department simply made temporary adjustments and published both Chinese and English issues in one go.

"Journal of Mathematical Physics" is still very influential in China. After publication, it is immediately delivered to various ordering institutions and individuals, and is also sold in fixed bookstores and on the Internet.

The magazine's sales department did not expect that they would receive some additional orders from overseas.

In fact, the English version of the "Journal of Mathematical Physics" is mostly sold in China. Overseas, it is ordered by fixed cooperative institutions. There are few people who specifically order the English version of the magazine. Unexpectedly, there are suddenly more overseas orders.

Although only a few hundred copies were ordered, the additional orders from overseas have a completely different meaning.

Doesn’t this mean that the magazine’s influence has expanded overseas?

"Journal of Mathematical Physics" is also discussing internally, "We temporarily printed an English version, but the response was not so fast, right? Is it because the news of Zhao Yi's paper spread?"

"Maybe, but we didn't do any publicity, right?"

"Maybe it was passed on by others? A few hundred copies, not much."

"I believe there will definitely be many overseas orders in the future, and there will be Zhao Yi's papers on them..."

…

early morning.

Academician Chen Yongquan of the Academy of Sciences bought breakfast on the street and took it all the way to his office. When he arrived at the door, he noticed the newly delivered Journal of Mathematical Physics placed on the small table next to him.

This issue is a bit thick and feels like a thin book.

He picked it up and walked into the office, thinking about eating breakfast while checking if there was anything he was interested in. But as soon as he glanced at it, he was attracted, and saw a line of small letters at the bottom of the cover that read——

“Professor Zhao Yi’s latest achievement demonstrates ‘supersymmetry’!”

"Zhao Yi?"

"Demonstrating supersymmetry?"

Chen Yongquan immediately turned to the paper and glanced at it. The paper occupied thirty-seven pages, which was more than the other contents combined.

"Zhao Yi's paper is the core of this issue!" Chen Yongquan thought with some surprise, and then noticed the last comment.

There are two familiar people among them, one is Zhang Hongzhi, the director of the Department of Physics, and the other is also from the Department of Physics, Ruan Wenye of the Collision Analysis Team.

Chen Yongquan immediately complained and said, "Both Zhang Hongzhi and Ruan Wenye knew that Zhao Yi published a new paper, or an analysis of supersymmetry, but they didn't tell me!"

Of course.

When reviewing unpublished papers, you must respect the principle of confidentiality. It is also personal ethics not to disclose information, and there is no way to say anything.

Chen Yongquan just complained and immediately read the paper seriously. He was dizzy by its complex mathematical structure and logic, but he still read and studied it patiently.

As an academician who studies theoretical physics, he naturally knows what the "supersymmetry problem" represents. Demonstrating "supersymmetry" is definitely a very amazing research result, and its significance is also extraordinary. It can be said that it has contributed to theoretical physics. The cornerstone was laid.

At the same time, many professional physicists have done similar things.

They cling to the Journal of Mathematical Physics and study Zhao Yi's paper seriously. They also inevitably complain to colleagues, friends in the physics circle, or even go to the Internet to complain -

"Zhao Yi's latest paper is really difficult!"

"Is that mathematics? No, it's a heavenly book. This doctor of mathematics can't understand it at all!"

"After reading the first few pages of this paper, I feel that I should add another degree to my Ph.D., because the knowledge of a Ph.D. is far from enough to understand advanced particle mathematics..."

"It's too difficult! It's too difficult!"

"..."

Yanhua University.

The impact of the publication of the Journal of Mathematical Physics has not yet spread.

Zhao Yi went to have breakfast as usual. He went to class with Fan Lei and Li Renzhe in the morning, and also spent six "rest coins" by the way. The life of spending coins was relaxing and pleasant, and it also helped to replenish his energy. After waking up, he thought carefully. Next 'quark' question.

get out of class is over.

He, Fan Lei and Li Renzhe went to the school cafeteria to eat together. They happened to meet Qian Hong and sat down to eat together.

The phone rang suddenly.

Zhao Yi picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He clicked the answer button with doubts and heard the other person ask, "Is it Professor Zhao Yi? I am Academician Chen Yongquan of the Academy of Sciences. I have read your supersymmetry analysis... …”

"Can you explain to me the description of energy at the end of the second page?"

Zhao Yi was a little dazed. Hearing that the person opposite him was an old academician, he thought about it and gave it a simple explanation. His papers were indeed very difficult and they were all very professional, but the parts that were not easy to think about could still be solved with a simple explanation. Let professionals understand.

It is enough to point out the key points.

"So that's it!" Chen Yongquan nodded with satisfaction and said by the way, "I got your phone number from Ruan Wenye."

Zhao Yi suddenly explained, "Academician Chen, if you have any questions, you can ask Professor Ruan Wenye and Director Zhang Zhihong. They reviewed my paper."

"I asked, you haven't read the magazine yet, have you? That guy Ruan Wenye's comment means, 'He didn't read it at all. Since it's your paper, just publish it'."

Zhao Yi was speechless and asked, "Where is Director Zhang Zhihong?"

"I haven't met him, but judging from the comments, he must have understood everything and gave it a very high rating." After Chen Yongquan finished speaking, he put down the phone.

Before Zhao Yi could take a breath, the phone rang again.

"Is this Professor Zhao Yi? I am Shuimu University..."

Ten minutes, put down the phone.

"This is Professor Zhao Yi, I am from the Department of Mathematics, Academy of Sciences..."

This time it's thirteen minutes.

More than half an hour passed. Zhao Yi didn't even take a bite of food, so he just talked to others. He looked at Qian Hong who had finished the meal depressedly, then looked at Fan Lei and Li Renzhe who were waiting, and simply handed over his mobile phone. Gave it to Qian Hong.

"What?" Qian Hong was a little confused.

"If you get another call, just say it's my assistant and that I'm busy and don't have time. Just make a note of whoever calls."

After hearing this, Qian Hong pouted depressedly, "...Why, that's your business."

"You are my assistant!"

"What assistant? I'm just an assistant for your course, and I'm completely useless now." Qian Hong retorted, but still took the call.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "How about this, Sister Qian Hong, from now on, I will hire you as my assistant. No, the school said last time that I would be assigned a special assistant, but I never thought about it. Otherwise, you Come and try?”

"I'm busy!"

"It doesn't matter, just turn down other jobs." Zhao Yi said and felt that it was very reliable. The position of assistant must be a familiar and trustworthy person with certain abilities. It is best to be a female and good-looking. Very beautiful and durable, so that...

Ahem.

Zhao Yi put on a serious work face.

Qian Hong pouted and thought seriously for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later."

"Okay, you think about it."

Zhao Yi gave the phone to Qian Hong with confidence, then called Fan Lei and Li Renzhe, stood up and shouted relaxedly, "Let's go to the football field!"

“Dinner is the best time to exercise!”

"Walk!"

"Together!"

"..."

Qian Hong looked at Zhao Yi who walked out relaxedly, and then looked at the phone that rang again, feeling suddenly depressed.

Why!

He can play football easily, but I can only answer the phone depressedly...

assistant?

I don't know what I thought of, and a blush instantly appeared on my cheeks.

By the way, I'm sorry. I had eye pain and headache yesterday. It feels like it hurts once a month... It was so uncomfortable that I fell asleep and didn't update.

Sorry for the book friends who are waiting.

Beg for forgiveness.
