Rule department scholar

This is one of the reasons why he was not interested in theoretical physics.

A lot of theoretical physics research content can be said to exceed the development of the scientific community for hundreds of years. Things like string theory only exist in the imagination of theoretical physicists. They just explore the composition of the world, according to those perfect The formula, imagine all kinds of theories, but want to prove that decades are not enough.

The two people in the back row looked at each other without thinking of this answer at all.

Ruan Wenye asked with interest, "Then do you believe in the Higgs boson?"

"Believe it."

Zhao Yi doesn't know what the Higgs boson is, but he must have heard of it in his impression, it seems to be related to quarks, "Why don't you believe that the Higgs boson is different from string theory, it exists thing."

This is like asking 'do you believe in atoms'?

Of course I do.

Ruan Wenye gave Zhao Yi a weird look, "The Higgs boson exists, are you so sure?"

"Yup?"

Zhao Yi noticed Ruan Wenye's expression, not knowing what he said wrong, his tone became not so firm.

Ruan Wenye's understanding is that the other party has become a little unsteady under his doubts. After all, he is an expert in quantum physics, and the other party is a mathematics researcher.

He looked at Zhao Yi again in doubt, nodded after thinking, "I hope you can always be so firm. Scientific researchers want to have a firm view on things. Maybe you will gain a lot this time."

"Oh……"

Zhao Yi didn't understand Ruan Wenye's reaction.

About an hour later, Chen Ming next to him woke up from the trance, and Zhao Yi couldn't help asking in a low voice, "What is the Higgs boson?"

"The Higgs boson? Isn't that the God particle? One of the test experiments we are going to see is to verify the existence of the Higgs boson." Chen Ming explained.

Zhao Yi was stunned for a long time, "So there is no definite evidence that the Higgs boson exists?"

"Correct!"

"All right!"

Zhao Yi shook his head dejectedly, no wonder the academician in the back row said he had a firm view on things.

The existence of the Higgs boson has not yet been verified, so he is very sure that this kind of thing exists, of course he is very firm about things.

……

along the way.

Zhao Yi also started to discuss quantum physics issues with Chen Ming, basically Chen Ming was popularizing the common sense of quantum.

Zhao Yi joined the tour group as an art scientist, but anyway, he was going to see the particle impact experiment, and he didn't even know much about elementary particles, so it was a bit embarrassing.

Although it is impossible to get in touch with too advanced knowledge temporarily, but at least know some photons, quarks and other things, and there will be no problems if you talk less and see more.

When the plane landed in Geneva, Switzerland, Zhao Yi got good news.

[Complete the digital compression technology algorithm part! 】

[Academic reputation is improved, learning currency +600. 】

[Digital compression technology algorithm task completed! 】

[Learning currency +1000. 】

[Scientific research coins +10. 】

Probably because Terence Tao has applied for a patent and released relevant news to the public, the settlement of digital compression technology has finally come.

The 18 scientific research coins he harvested in one breath was second, and the more important thing was the harvest of 1900 learning coins, so that he finally got rid of the "poverty" of learning coins.

"Finally it can be used casually again!"

You will not lose money by using learning coins. While consuming a lot of energy, it will also speed up the research at hand. As long as you complete the research, you can get learning coins again.

The premise is that there is enough learning to use.

Before consuming 18000 learning coins, after acquiring the fourth ability, the learning coins have been in a shortage situation, and the daily coin brushing is simply not enough for use.

it's good now!

With enough learning coins, there is no need to worry about consuming a lot of energy, and the ability can be used without limit.

Zhao Yi felt relaxed all over, and the smiles on his face increased significantly.

Geneva is not a destination.

After getting off the plane, a group of people drove for more than three hours before arriving at a hotel in a small town.

Zhao Yi dragged his luggage and went in with Chen Ming, because he had a good relationship with Chen Ming and also joined the 'Visiting Group' as a mathematician, so he and Chen Ming were assigned to a room.

Now we are going to see the particle collision experiment. Most of the participants are physicists. Zhao Yi is not so conspicuous among them. Some people recognize him and just say hello. one time.

That's all.

Zhao Yi really enjoys the feeling of not being cared about. He seems to be here for tourism, and he even went around the town to feel the scenery of the small town in Switzerland.

This is no ordinary town.

Since history, this place has been a sacred place for physics research. There are many top physicists, all of whom work near here. It can be said that this place occupies half of the world's theoretical physics.

There are also a lot of computer engineers working nearby, they are just to maintain the data of the physical shrine.

Now the world's largest particle collider is being built nearby, attracting more physicists from all over the world to gather.

Zhao Yi walked around the town in one go, and found someone to take a photo of himself in a museum that marked the "Birthplace of the Internet", and then got busy when he returned to the hotel.

"Meeting!"

The meeting of the visiting group was very straightforward, and Ruan Wenye directly assigned the starting and returning work, "The CERN meeting voted to re-analyze the data of the last test experiment."

"We and the Caltech team are responsible for the inspection of the D partition data. The other party's suggestion is to write a report independently, and finally check the correctness of the inspection."

"That is to compete?" Someone asked doubtfully.

"Correct."

Ruan Wenye said seriously, "The group of people at Caltech just wanted to give us a good look at the test data. You all understand what it means, so don't say anything extra, everyone cheers me up and completes the assigned work seriously. .”

This is an important reason for finding mathematicians to join the team.

Domestic "visiting groups" are not just for visiting. Some of them come from units that participated in the construction of the collider and provided a lot of support funds.

Coming to the site is to participate in the experiment, and will definitely be assigned some work, such as data calculation and inspection work, and mathematicians may be of great help.

After all the work was assigned, Zhao Yi found that he didn't have any work, so he asked with some doubts, "What about me?"

Ruan Wenye handed over a bunch of information, "You must first understand these things before you can participate in the work. We need mathematicians who are very good at calculation."

Chen Ming beside him said bitterly, "I hope you can hurry up, otherwise the pressure on me is really too great."

"I see."

Zhao Yi understood a little bit.

Now he is just a pure rookie, he can't even understand what is written in the information, so he must not be able to participate in the work.

But... not necessarily?

Math calculations?

As long as you don't mind spending hundreds or thousands of learning coins, who else is better at data inspection than his causal thinking brain?

With the "Supervision Law" in hand... test?

"I am a professional!"

Chapter 248 Searching for the 'Singularity'

After the meeting was over, Zhao Yi followed Chen Ming to the work room, and the two of them were assigned together so that it was convenient for Chen Ming to guide Zhao Yi on how to work.

Chen Ming first explained what Ruan Wenye said.

"The Caltech team is trying to give us a good look. They're just a college team and we're representing a country."

"Understood? If we lose to a college team, think about it, at least... it will be embarrassing."

Zhao Yi understood, "Not only did we lose face, but we also lost face to the country."

Although explaining it in this way seems to be exaggerating the matter, the fact is that this is the case, and so is the other party's purpose.

Technology knows no borders, but scientists have nationalities.

Western scientists have always discriminated against domestic scientists and dismissed the development of domestic science and technology. The construction of the European particle collider was jointly completed by many countries and departments. China is one of the participants and has participated in some experiments. qualifications, but the teams represented by various countries will not really unite unconditionally, even if they conduct research together, there will be competition and comparison.

That's it for now.

Obviously they were assigned to work together, but the Caltech team suggested that they should complete the work independently. It must be to compete with them to complete the work faster. If they lose, it will be very embarrassing.

After hearing this, Zhao Yi became much more serious. Next, he began to study the materials.

While checking the data, Chen Ming also gave Zhao Yi a general explanation of the work. After the particle collider was built, two test experiments have been carried out.

Although it is only a test time, valuable data has also been obtained.

The experiments done now, and most of the research work invested, have a clear goal--

Proving the Standard Model that shapes particles.

The standard model of particles has already been shaped, but that is the concept of theoretical physics. Theoretical physics has not been completely proved 100%, so it is necessary to continue to do experiments to obtain data to prove the correctness of the standard model.

The process of proving the standard model of particles can be compared with "blind man feeling the elephant". Of course, it is not to satirize the blind man's inability to grasp the elephant, but to refer to the process of the blind man feeling the elephant.

Elephants are the standard model of particles.

The process of the blind man feeling the elephant is the process of proving the standard model.

How would a blind person know what an elephant looks like?You need to touch all parts of the elephant, and then put all the results together to prove that elephants are like this.

If there is a mistake in the middle, it proves that the standard model molded is wrong.

of course.

Judging from the results obtained so far, more than 90.00% of the modeled standard model of particles is correct, but in any case, physics is a rigorous subject, as long as it does not reach [-]%, there is no way to be sure that it is correct.

Every particle collision experiment will harvest a very large amount of data. They need to analyze and calculate the data, and find evidence of the standard model of particles from the data.

The domestic team is assigned to the analysis and inspection of the D partition data. What they need to do is two tasks, one is to find out the rules of the data, and explain some situations as a whole.

This is the job of physicists.

Chen Ming and Zhao Yi are mathematicians, they do not need to participate in the analysis of huge data, but strive to find the 'singularity' in the data.

'Singularity', that is, a special point, for example, in a large amount of data, a very small part of the data is different from others.

These data are much more meaningful than other ordinary data, and it is likely to prove something, or to advance the proof of the standard model, or to deny the standard model.

"So we're trying to find something special in this big pile of data?"

"Using mathematics? Is there anything to refer to?"

Zhao Yi asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, read the information with peace of mind. Someone will do the basic work." Chen Ming replied and continued to work.

after one day.

Zhao Yi understood what Chen Ming meant. Many people participated in data drawing, that is, inputting data one by one into the computer and making complex graphics.

In this way, there will be a more intuitive understanding of the obtained data, and it will be easier to find the laws of the data and draw some conclusions.

It seems that with the data graph, it seems easy to find the 'singularity', but in fact this is not the case, because the data is too complex, the data looks like a stock graph, and there are various annotations on it, including Various analysis methods.

and many more.
