Into Unscientific

 “Good morning, Sakata-kun.”

 “Good morning, Suzuki-san.”

 “Good morning, Koji-senpai”

Hello to the seniors who passed by each other enthusiastically, the look on Suzuki Atsushi's face seemed a little high-spirited or arrogant.

after all

Anyone who was admitted to the Department of Theoretical Physics of Neon Kyoto University as an undergraduate at the age of 15 and became an intern at the Institute of Basic Physics of Kyoto University this year at the age of 16 will probably work with Suzuki. Honest people are full of hope for the future.

such a pity.

My closest family members all became acquaintances after the Hiroshima nuclear bombing, and I will never be able to see the day when I can honor my family.

But very quickly.

Suzuki Atsushi put aside the slight sadness in his heart and returned his attention to today's task.

Well, it’s a task, but it’s actually just a very simple thing:

 Fetch some of the latest journals from the mailroom at Kyoto University and bring them back to the Institute of Theoretical Physics - it's that easy.

After all, although many people think that Suzuki Atsushi is very talented in theoretical physics, he is only a 16-year-old sophomore after all, and it is impossible to bear too many research tasks.

 “Hmph hum~~~”

Suzuki Atsushi was whistling a Showa-flavored ditty as he expertly walked through two forest paths and soon came to a building about four stories high.

This building looks a bit old. The mottled exterior walls are covered with ivy-like vines, and the overall building has some European style.

Even though this building is a bit "old", it can be regarded as one of the holy places of Kyoto University today:

 It is the Institute of Basic Physics of Kyoto University!

 As early as World War II, Plan F, codenamed after the acronym of nuclear fission, was born in this building. The entire plan was led by Neon's famous nuclear physicist Bunze Arakatsu.

However, the centrifugal separator built by Huangsheng Wence was far from reaching the rotation speed of 100,000 times per minute. In addition, Neon's domestic supply of uranium ore was too small, which led to the eventual failure of Plan F.

Many students from Peking University often lament when mentioning this matter, how wonderful it would be if Huang Sheng Wence had made a breakthrough in technology back then.

To know.

At that time, another Neon physicist Yoshio Nishina had successfully developed the Cockcroft-Walton particle accelerator. Neon was also the second country besides the other side of the sea to develop accelerators.

 Many people believe that if the Navy and Army can cooperate with each other, Neon may achieve a breakthrough in nuclear weapons.

 So it’s all the fault of those **** army red deer, they’re so petty-minded

Of course.

These students from Kyoto University would never have imagined that even if Nishina Yoshio could cooperate with Arakatsu Bunsei, Neon's lack of raw materials for nuclear weapons would make it impossible for them to develop nuclear weapons:

At the end of 1943, Neon sent two submarines to Germany to pick up uranium ore. After picking up the uranium ore in Kiel, Germany, they returned to Neon from the Atlantic via the coast of South Iceland.

Since the neon code had been deciphered by the other side of the sea at that time, one of the two submarines was eventually sunk by the other side of the sea on the way.

 So from the beginning to the end of the entire World War II period, the Neon people actually did not obtain any nuclear materials.

etc.

 It doesn’t seem right to say this?

 After all, the people across the sea actually gave the materials for two atomic bombs to the neon people, but the neon people didn't catch them.

Looking back to reality.

all in all.

 The Institute of Fundamental Physics of Kyoto University under the filter of war finally took on a certain "tragic" color, so it became taller in the eyes of many people.

 Then in recent years.

With the arrival of Yukawa Hideki, the first neon person to win the Nobel Prize, this building has taken on another kind of holy place-like glory.

At least

Every time Atsushi Suzuki comes here, he seems to be on a pilgrimage.

 After arriving outside the institute.

Suzuki Atsushi walked through the door skillfully. After entering the building, he took the stairs near the left and arrived outside an office on the second floor.

　　咚咚咚—

Suzuki Atsushi held several volumes of periodicals and magazines and banged his head against the door:

“Private Marseille! I am Atsushi Suzuki, and the paper Professor Yukawa needs has been retrieved!”

 After a while.

A rather energetic voice came from inside the house:

 “Please come in.”

Seeing this, Atsushi Suzuki quickly freed up his left hand, held the doorknob and pushed open the door.

Inside the door of the house is a very open office, which seems to cover an area of ​​more than 100 square meters to the naked eye. A small door against the wall on the right indicates that the actual layout of the house is larger than it appears to the naked eye.

This office has a thick red carpet on the floor, a European-style fireplace next to it, and an extremely large desk facing the entrance.

 There was an incense burning near the fireplace, and with the dim light, it looked like a caesarean section. Ah, bah, this is so unlucky.

 I only see this moment.

There are three neon men of different ages sitting in this room. The three of them are sitting around the desk, drinking tea and chatting.

Suzuki Atsushi's eyes rolled slightly - before he left the office, there was only one person in the room.

The one sitting in the middle of the three is a round-faced man with some bald spots. He looks somewhat similar to Puyi, the last emperor of China. He has a long neck and wide ears. He is clearly Yukawa Hideki, the number one person in the world of neon physics today.

 After becoming the first neon person to win the Nobel Prize in 1949, Yukawa Hideki's popularity in the neon country was unparalleled for a while. In the words of later generations, he was somewhat "broken."

I don’t know how many neon girls want to marry Yukawa Hideki and have children, and become a national idol.

  After all, neon at this time was still in the post-war castration period, and the economy was not prosperous enough to later claim to be able to buy across the sea from the bubble period. Both economic and cultural aspects were in a sluggish state.

In this case, Yukawa Hideki won the Nobel Prize

How to put it this way, it is a bit similar to Liu Xiang and Yao Ming in China in the 2000s, who were truly national figures.

Of course.

 Idols to idols.

Nowadays, Hideki Yukawa is the academic mentor of Atsushi Suzuki. The long-term contact has resulted in Atsushi Suzuki’s filter for Hideki Yukawa being less mythical than ordinary people.

 For example, in later generations, everyone knows that the academician boss is very good, but if the professor who teaches you every day in your school is an academician, then you will naturally feel that the distance has been shortened a lot.

Perhaps when you write a novel, you will make a professor joke in the book.

So facing the national idol in the neon physics world at this time, Suzuki Atsushi could still maintain a basic calm.

He quickly came to Yukawa Hideki, carefully placed the journal he had retrieved on the table, and said respectfully:

“Teacher, I’ve got all the journals you asked for.”

Yukawa Hideki heard this and nodded without saying much.

This neon physicist’s character is as extreme as his political stance. He usually has a sullen face and is extremely taciturn when chatting with others.

  Occasionally, when speaking, he also likes to raise his chin and look at others sideways. To be honest, he is a bit unbeatable - this can also be seen from many surviving images of later generations.

In the later generations when Xu Yun traveled through time, many neon people actually analyzed the character of Yukawa Hideki. After all, he was one of the most famous physicists in the history of neon science.

At the time, many neon scholars believed that Yukawa Hideki's character was so bad largely because his grandfather, Koma Tachibana, was a samurai guarding Wakayama Castle before the Meiji period and pursued the so-called "bushido" spirit.

 In addition, Yukawa Hideki has been serving the Neon military during the war. Under the high-intensity work pressure, he has also acquired the cold personality of a "Showa man".

Yukawa Hideki's cold expression made a relatively young man beside him feel a little uncomfortable. In order to diffuse the atmosphere, he quickly glanced at Suzuki Atsushi and asked proactively:

“Yukawa-san, may I ask who this young man is.”

Facing this middle-aged man, Yukawa Hideki's attitude was much better, and he forced a smile on his face:

“Xiao Chai-san, this is a student I just accepted this year. His name is Suzuki Atsushi. He has just turned 16 years old.”

 Seeing this, the middle-aged man looked at Suzuki Atsushi again and praised:

 “You’re only sixteen years old, you’re really a kid in Sri Lanka.”

Housoto Suzuki scratched his hair in a somewhat restrained manner.

Then Yukawa Hideki didn’t know what he was thinking. Seeing this, he said to Suzuki Atsushi:

“Suzuki-san, you are quite lucky today. Let me introduce these two seniors to you.”

“The person who was talking to you just now is Professor Masatoshi Oshiba, and the person on the other side is Mr. Shinichiro Tomonaga. Both of them are well-known neon physicists. Their names must be familiar to you, right?”

Ochai Masajun?

 Tomonaga Shinichiro?

 After hearing these two names, Suzuki Atsushi's heart immediately jumped.

He quickly took a step back and bowed at a 90° angle:

 “Mr. Xiaochai, Mr. Tomonaga, I have long admired your name!”

Although the future Suzuki Atsushi will become a very shameless old **** and even acted as a clown at the Rabbits' dark matter press conference, his admiration at this time is really not fake.

after all

 The reputations of Masatoshi Oshiba and Shinichiro Tomonaga are indeed worthy of his awe.

From a more objective perspective, Masajun Ochai’s resume is actually very inspiring:

He was unable to lift his right arm due to polio since he was a child. When he was in college, he was disliked by his mentor Yamauchi Kyohiko, so he had to work part-time to maintain his studies.

 He then successfully obtained a master's degree from the University of Tokyo 8 years ago, and obtained a doctorate in physics from the University of Rochester 2 years later.

Today, Xiaochai Masajun is already well-known in Neon, and his achievements in neutrinos are also quite surprising.

 According to historical development.

  He would win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2002, and made a speech that was truly shocking:

The wind can blow away the entire desert, but it cannot move an ant. The ants climbed ashore from the dark and damp underground river ditch, then climbed over countless mountains and ridges, without stopping for decades, and finally stood in front of you - this is my life. 】

Another thing that Mr. Suzuki or everyone at the scene didn’t know.

In a few years, when Atsuto Suzuki gets his master's degree, he will become a disciple of Masatoshi Oshiba.

Masajun Ochai has not expressed his political stance much in his life, and his attitude towards China is not too bad to be honest - to be fair, this situation is often the norm. It does not mean that their stance is pro-China or anti-China. , but most scholars actually do not express their political demands clearly.

Just like so many academicians in China, few of them have explicitly said this: "Little Japanese devils, I am the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Cao Ni"

Looking back to reality.

 In addition to Masatoshi Oshiba, Shinichiro Tomonaga, another person present at the scene, is also a big shot.

even

From the perspective of the entire history of physics, his achievements are even higher than those of Yukawa Hideki.

 Based on his contribution to quantum electrodynamics alone, even Mr. Yang cannot say that he is definitely better than Shinichiro Tomonaga.

 He completed the foundation of quantum electrodynamics together with Feynman and Schwinger, and is considered a top theoretical physicist.

Although these people present do not know the achievements of Shinichiro Tomonaga, judging from the current situation, he is likely to become the second neon person to win the Nobel Prize in a few years.

Hideki Yukawa then glanced at Atsushi Suzuki, pointed to a chair next to him and said:

 “Suzuki, please go and rest first.”

Hearing this, Atsushi Suzuki bowed again:

 “Hai!”

 After Suzuki Atsushi walked aside obediently.

Yukawa Hideki then reached out and pulled several journals in front of him, and said to Masajun Koshiba and Shinichiro Tomonaga:

“Oshiba-san, Tomonaga-san, and Professor Kishida’s laboratories should be ready for a while. Instead of sitting here and waiting, how about taking a look at the latest papers?”

“I heard that Professor Abitiya from Columbia University has made quite a breakthrough in bound states. This time, Nature even gave him a special page recommendation.”

Hearing this, Koba Masajun and Tomonaga Shinichiro looked at each other, and they both nodded at the same time: "It's up to you."

At the same time, Tomonaga Shinichiro, Yukawa Hideki, and Oshiba Masatoshi are all considered members of the Kyoto School, which is a faction of Oriental history. This school was first founded by Kitaro Nishida, Gen Tanabe, Sanjuro Tomonaga, Seiichi Hatano, and Keiji Nishitani in Kyoto. Represented by university professors, it later spawned many branches such as the Kyoto School of Philosophy, the Kyoto School of Modern Economics, and the Kyoto School of Physics.

The purpose of the three people gathering here today is to visit the laboratory of another physicist of the Kyoto School, Toyo Kishida. This Toyo Kishida had a cousin named Fumio Kishida, who later paid tribute to "Masakaki" as a sacrifice to the public toilet. Silly biological father.

Again.

Nearly all neon physicists of this period participated in the war, so they or their descendants usually have inextricable relationships with certain people.

Kishida Toyo’s experiment today required several hours of debugging, so the three of them went to Yukawa Hideki’s office to rest.

 Then at the suggestion of Yukawa Hideki.

 The three of them quickly picked out a journal and started reading it.

Yukawa Hideki is reading the famous "Nature" magazine. As he said before, this issue of "Nature" contains something that he is very interested in:

 It is said that Professor Asan of Columbia University has made a breakthrough in the conjugate equation of bound states.

 The concept of continuous bound state has a certain linkage trend with the Yukawa coupling proposed by Yukawa in a low-energy and effective scenario. Therefore, Yukawa himself, including Yukawa himself, has always regarded bound state as a key research direction in recent years.

 But this time.

Yukawa Hideki just glanced at the paper a few times, and then threw the journal on the table with some annoyance:

"idiot!"

Ochai Masajun on the side couldn’t help but raised his head and asked Yukawa Hideki:

 “Yukawa-san, what happened?”

Yukawa Hideki took a deep breath after hearing this, pointed to the journal in front of him and said:

　　"Bagh Yalu. This **** Professor Asan dared to publish the bound state results to "Nature" without even canceling out the non-zero components. This is a mistake that even an undergraduate like Atsushi Suzuki would not make!"

“Are these external review editors of Nature blind? They can actually publish this kind of paper—and make me look forward to it so much!”

 “Assiba Senimufa Q”

Looking at the somewhat furious Yukawa Hideki.

Xiao Chai Changjun couldn't help but take a few glances at the issue, and quickly shook his head.

Although his literacy is several levels better than that of Yukawa Hideki, he can barely understand Yukawa Hideki's thoughts.

be honest.

Papers of this quality are not even in the general journal of Nature - after all, the physics community is still in the development stage at this time, and the subatomic-level framework is destined to produce many weird papers.

but

The quality of this paper is definitely not worthy of the big push from Nature, let alone the momentum it started to create in the industry half a month in advance.

Of course.

 It is not surprising that this kind of situation occurs in this current situation.

After all, it has been more than ten years since the end of World War II. Many of the scientists across the sea who were carved up from Germany are old or even dead.

Hence, the Asan group gradually began to make moves and wanted to replace the Germans or Jews in the physics community.

So this paper is probably not just the personal wish of the professor named Abidiya. Behind the failure, Asan’s group is promoting it.

 Then Xiaochai Changjun shook his head, temporarily dispelling these thoughts to the back of his mind.

He doesn’t care much about the roads across the sea. After all, no matter how fiercely Asan fights with the Germans, it has nothing to do with neon people like him, right?

So he turned to look at Shinichiro Tomonaga, preparing to change the topic to suppress Yukawa Hideki's anger:

 “Senior Ichiro, have you made any interesting discoveries?”

Oshiba Masatoshi noticed that Shinichiro Tomonaga was reading "Physical Review Letters". If he remembered correctly, this should be a new publication that was published just over two years ago.

In addition, "Physical Review Letters" is still a weekly magazine, which is an extremely novel update model at the moment, and its status is not very high in the minds of more traditional physicists like Masatoshi Oshiba.

 In the opinion of Masajun Ochai.

 The update cycle of journals is the same as that of writing. Four thousand words per day is the way to go, but anything like 30,000 words per day is heresy!

But what surprised Ochai Masajun a little.

Facing his question, Shinichiro Tomonaga seemed not to hear it, staring closely at the "Physical Review Letters" in front of him.

Xiao Chai Changjun couldn't help but have a question mark on his face:

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

 What's going on with Shinichiro Tomonaga?

 Having something wrong with your ears?

Or is it that the "Physical Review Letters" brought back by Atsushi Suzuki is actually a fake, and its real content is "Playboy" with a **** portrait of Heisenberg printed on it?

Hence, Ochai Masajun couldn't help but cough again, and pushed Shinichiro Asagi:

 “Senior Ichiro.”

This time Shinichiro Tomonaga finally came back to his senses. He shook his body as if he had woken up from a certain state. After a few seconds, he looked at Masajun Koba:

 “Xiao Chaisang?”

Ochai Masajun glanced at the journal in front of him:

 “Alo Nie Ichiro-senpai, what are you looking at so fascinatedly?”

Chao Yongzhen Ichiro's expression was still a little bit embarrassed at this time. When he heard the words, he was subconscious first, and then his face was solemn:

 “Xiao Chai-san, Yukawa-san, something big happened.”

Then he pushed the "Physical Review Letters" he was reading in front of Masatoshi Oshiba and Hideki Yukawa before they could speak:

 “Look at this quickly—look at it together.”

Hearing this, Masajun Ochai and Hideki Yukawa looked at each other, and both of them saw some doubts in each other's eyes.

However, Tomonaga Shinichiro's prestige and seniority were here, so the two of them got together and read the journal without asking any more questions.

This volume of "Physical Review Letters" is entirely in English, but for Hideki Yukawa, who has served as professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and Columbia University, there is no difficulty in reading English.

As soon as he touched the book "Physical Review Letters", Yukawa Hideki was keenly aware of its thickness:

 “So thin, special issue?”

Chaonaga Shinichiro nodded, and raised the palm of his sound left hand upward, signaling Yukawa Hideki to continue reading.

Yukawa Hideki also showed some interest when he saw this, and he quickly read the content of the paper in neon language:

 “Woof woof woof woof woof.”

 At the beginning, Yukawa Hideki's reading speed was very fast, and his speaking speed even exceeded Oshiba Masatoshi's understanding speed.

  But less than half a minute.

Yukawa Hideki's speed dropped a lot.

 Another minute or so passed.

Yukawa Hideki immediately shut his mouth and devoted himself to reading the paper.

Oshiba Masatoshi and Tomonaga Shinichiro beside him did not say much. Instead, they surrounded Yukawa Hideki on the left and right like two generals, and read the contents of the paper with him.

 See this situation.

Huntu Suzuki couldn't help but have a little curiosity in his eyes.

Professor Yukawa and the others, what did they discover?

 Looking at this posture, it seems that it is not as simple as some paper of several pages.

Subsequently, with Suzuki Atsushi waiting for nearly an hour, Yukawa Hideki and the three of them finally exhaled a breath of turbidity.

ˆ “.”

After a few seconds of silence, Yukawa Hideki couldn't help but look at Tomonaga Shinichiro:

 “Mr. Chaonaga, Xiao Chaisang, what do you think?”

Xiao Chai Changjun touched his chin and suddenly thought of something:

“Yukawa-san, which university across the sea published this paper?”

 “Yale? Stanford? Or MIT?”

 “Across the sea?”

Hearing this, Yukawa Hideki suddenly had a weird smile on his lips, and turned the paper back to the cover:

“Xiao Chaisang, take a look at the signature and organization of the paper—look carefully.”

Ochai Masajun was stunned for two seconds. He held the back of Yukawa Hideki's chair with one hand and leaned slightly forward toward the table.

 A few seconds later.

Ochai Masajun’s incredible exclamation suddenly filled the room:

“Lu Guangda? Zhao Zhongyao? Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is a Chinese paper? How is this possible?”

Compared to Oshiba Masatoshi's surprise, Yukawa Hideki seemed very calm at this time, or in other words, he was actually surprised:

“Xiao Chaisang, didn’t you notice it when you were reading the paper?”

“Although the translation of this paper can be said to be honest and elegant, some differences from standard English can still be seen in some of the context and conceptual descriptions—these places have obvious Eastern semantics.”

“So from the beginning I discovered the peculiarity of the author of this paper. It is not from Europe, nor from across the sea, but from us.”

"Neighbor."

Xiao Chai Changjun said silently:

ˆ “.”

These days, the Chinese theoretical physics community still has a very loud brand name, but again, the so-called brand name actually refers to the international reputation. To put it bluntly, it means the fame of Chinese physicists across the sea.

  Due to hardware and blockade problems in China's local physics community, basically no one will take a direct look at them.

After Zhao Zhongyao and others returned to China, Xiaochai Changjun and others only paid attention to it for a short period of time, and then turned their attention to other things.

This is just like when the top football superstars of later generations go to the Saudi Arabian Football League to retire in the Major League when they are older, the public opinion of the whole society will instantly drop a lot.

 In the end, I didn’t expect that China’s local physics community, which I haven’t seen for a while, would actually come up with such a shocking paper?

 That’s right.

 Shocking and shocking.

 This is Masatoshi Ochai’s definition of this paper.

  After all, his main research direction is fundamental particles, and his knowledge of this aspect is much higher than that of ordinary people.

 In the opinion of Masajun Ochai.

 This paper is likely to occupy a place in the history of theoretical physics, and many of its concepts are obviously inspiring for Masatoshi Oshiba's own research.

 For example, the scalar boson and vector boson mentioned in the paper.

Before reading this article, there has always been an unexplainable problem in the theoretical physics community:

 The spontaneous breaking of the overall symmetry of the particle will lead to the emergence of three Goldstonebosons in the corresponding theory, and there will also be a non-zero vacuum expectation value.

 But the problem is that the massless vector field or gauge field has only two transverse components. If calculated according to the vector field, in reality there will be at most two Goldstone bosons.

It has been 11 years since this problem first appeared, and it has been six or seven years since it was officially considered a topic for discussion.

 The result was unexpected.

Zhao Zhongyao actually introduced the concept of scalar boson in this paper, which gave a quite reasonable explanation to this problem.

Although this explanation is a purely mathematical derivation step, it is not difficult to judge based on Masatoshi Ochai's ability that the accuracy of this derivation process is infinitely close to 100%.

 “It’s really a pinch for Sri Lanka.”

 At the same time, Ochai Masajun sighed.

Yukawa Hideki on the side quietly frowned:

“Qiaodou sack. There seems to be something wrong with this value.”
