I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

this day,

In the computer room of Cornell University, a manager in charge of operations just went to work. As usual, he made himself a cup of coffee, and then took out a tuna sandwich from his bag. A good day starts with coffee and sandwiches.

Tear!

Opening the packaging bag, the manager began to eat big mouthfuls. Although it was a cheap roadside product, the portion inside was still very large. The greatest joy in life lies in eating. From the moment humans appeared, from the moment From eating full at the beginning to eating well now, human beings are the evolution of eating.

But eat and eat,

The administrator found that something was wrong. The arXiv database seemed to have been hit by something. The explosive visits in a short period of time almost destroyed the entire website. Suddenly... the researcher panicked. Cornell University managed arXiv, and as a manager is responsible for daily operations, but something like this happened today.

what's the situation?

What... what's wrong with this? The manager hurriedly removed the sandwich in his hand and began to look for the source of the problem. After a few minutes... he found that all the visitors pointed to a paper, and This paper has only just been published.

Damn it... what kind of paper would get such attention?

The grand unification of physics?

Have you discovered an alien civilization?

However,

I originally thought that the explosive visits during this period would end, or that this was just the peak, and then it would slowly decline, but who knows... In the next minute, the server was completely washed out, and now the arXiv website Has completely collapsed.

It's over, it's over, it's over... it's all over now! The manager scratched his hair in horror. Now he is desperate, and the server has been washed down. This is the first time in history. ?

Hello?

Professor Destantin...it's not good...the arXiv server was...washed down! The administrator said with a look of panic: Now...the server has been crashed now... .I'm totally incapable of getting the server right.

What!

The server... the server has already crashed? Professor Destantin was almost frightened when he heard what the administrator said, and said nervously: What is going on? Why is this happening? Could it be that we were attacked by hackers? Attacked?

No no no!

Yes...it is a certain paper. The manager hurriedly explained: There have been a large number of visitors in a short period of time, and the targets of these visitors are all a certain paper, and this paper has just been uploaded. Then came the viral expansion, which instantly overwhelmed the server.

Damn it!

What kind of paper is it that drives these people crazy? Professor Destantin said helplessly, Don't worry...I'll find someone to come over right now, if this paralyzes...I'm afraid something will happen.

hang up the phone,

Professor Destantin immediately found a group of staff and went to the database laboratory, but on the way, he received a call from the president of Cornell University, who seemed very angry about the server crash this time.

Professor Destantin!

What's the situation with this server? I've received countless calls now,

They are all asking why the arXiv website crashed? The president of Cornell University asked seriously: It has been fine before, why did it suddenly collapse?

I just found out, too.

It seems that someone put a paper on it, which caused a huge increase in the number of visits in a short period of time, and then overwhelmed the server. Professor Destantin smiled wryly: I'm curious now... what is it? What kind of paper, let so many people go to find out.

paper?

Overwhelmed?

The president of Cornell University seems to have thought of something. There is something in this world that can cause such a situation, and it has been laid for so long before, isn't it just to see his next paper?

Xu Mang... the god of contemporary physics!

now,

In the field of physics and even the entire field of scientific research, the hottest topic is about Xu Mang's belief that the chiral Majorana fermion verified by Professor Cao Cong of Stanford University in three years was actually caused by a short circuit.

Could it be... him? The president of Cornell University frowned, his tone full of disbelief, and said, Quick! Get the server up quickly, this matter is very important... It must be done within an hour The server has been restored!

good!

However,

The situation is quite bad,

Professor Destantin just added an extra server to arXiv, and it turned out...it took less than a minute to recover, and arXiv crashed once, but this time it was completely broken...It is no longer a problem that can be solved by adding servers.

broken!

This is the end! Professor Destantin said in horror: What to do... There is no way to solve it!

at this time,

The call from the president of Cornell University came again.

What's the matter?

Why did the server crash again? asked the president of Cornell University.

It's still the same problem...the number of visits is too large. We have increased the number of servers, but they are still overwhelmed in an instant. Professor Destantin said helplessly: We can only ask the Simmons Foundation to help them deploy servers. Give us a temporary use, otherwise... you won't be able to withstand it.

good!

I'll call right away!

moment,

The Cornell University professor made an emergency call to the Simmons Foundation, who promised to deploy the server immediately. In less than half an hour, arXiv finally resumed access, but the pressure was still great, and it was constantly struggling on the verge of collapse.

finally,

Professor Destantin found the paper and found the culprit. It was the paper written by Xu Mang that overwhelmed arXiv, and even asked the Simmons Foundation to help it resume normal operation.

The collapse of arXiv is just a prelude, and the real big bang has just begun.

After the black hour,

The resumed arXiv ushered in a frenzied number of visits. The number of visits in just ten minutes has exceeded the number of visits in the past year, and this number is still rising.

Stanford University,

Professor Cao Cong had just downloaded Xu Mang's dissertation. The moment he opened the thesis, a door to hell opened silently. The only thing that greeted Professor Cao Cong was the soup that Xu Mang carefully prepared for him.

When Professor Cao Cong read the beginning, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. The first paragraph proved that there must be two prerequisites for the existence of chiral Majorana fermions. However, the experiment was carried out according to these two conditions. , Judging from the experimental results, it is very unfavorable to him.

Using the superconducting nanoprobe structure, the differential conductance of superconductors and quantum anomalous Hall insulators under DC bias is measured, and the measurement results show that the differential conductance of the nanoprobe under DC bias conforms to the Andreev reflection model.

And the differential conductance at zero DC bias compared with high bias produces nearly twice the enhancement effect, thus obtaining a proof that a nearly ideal contact is established between the superconductor and the quantum anomalous Hall insulator.

after,

In the second paragraph, I tried to measure the two-terminal conductance across the superconductor, but the result was completely different from Professor Cao Cong's experimental paper three years ago. In Xu Mang's experiment, there was no integer Quantized conductance platform.

The half-integer quantized conductance platform appears in a specific magnetic field range, and even appears in the entire Hall curve, and this quantized conductance even exists when the external magnetic field exceeds the critical condition of the superconductor.

this...

How can this be?

See here,

Professor Cao Cong's face turned ashen. His previous rhetoric was shattered at this moment. He now understands what it means to be powerless. Looking at his achievements three years ago, being swallowed up by Xu Mang bit by bit, that feeling of being hysterical but powerless , causing Cao Cong to collapse.

not real...

This is absolutely not true!

But God had already doomed Professor Cao Cong's fate. Ever since Xu Mang knew about this person, he had already pronounced Cao Cong's end to be death.

Among more than 30 pieces of data, without exception, one thing is proved, because the quantum anomalous Hall insulators on both sides of the superconductor in close contact make a simple electrical connection to the quantum anomalous insulators on both sides, and then the content of the second paragraph appears.

Immediately afterwards...

The short circuit led to the observed half-integer quantum conductance platform. Xu Mang's experiment has proved that the half-integer quantum platform observed three years ago is caused by a short circuit, not chiral Majorana fermions.

despair...

At this moment, Professor Cao Cong's brain was filled with hopeless emotions. There is no hope... It is completely hopeless. Not only is he hopeless, but also the whole West has completely lost the dominance of fermions with the standard model. Now Xu Mang was an authoritative figure in this field.

Bang bang bang!

There was a quick knock on the door in the office, and then Professor Wang walked in, but when he saw Cao Cong's expression, he suddenly said what he wanted to say, and there was no need to tell him, look at him It's clear from the expression on his face... He already knows, and he is already in a state of despair.

I...

I'm completely ruined! Professor Cao Cong's eyes didn't have any spirit at all, only lifeless... He raised his head and said to Professor Wang: Old Wang...it's over...everything is over!

no way.

When you made that proposal, you should have thought that this day would come. Professor Wang said helplessly, Hua is not what it used to be, old Cao... times have changed, whether you want to admit it or not, this It is a fact that cannot be changed.”

at the same time,

Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

Johansen looked at the paper and showed a gratified smile. As expected...Xu Mang did not disappoint himself. On the contrary, he was too good. He used the most direct and clear evidence to announce the truth to the whole world.

By the way...

If he did this three years ago, would he have the same effect as Xu Mang?

Thinking of this,

Johansen smiled wryly. If he had the ability of Xu Mang, he would have refuted him at the beginning. Damn...why is there a person like Xu Mang in the world?

Sudden,

Johansen thought of Professor Perel from Caltech, what mood is he in now?
