He did kind of look forward to it.

If we talk about simply discussing string theory and M theory, he really doesn't have much interest, but if it involves detectable particles, maybe we can explore the real thing?

Chapter 329 The imagination is quite rich!

Every time Edward and Zhao Yi have a video call, they will exchange mathematical and physical problems.

In essence, theoretical physics is a branch of mathematics. The m-theory and string theory that Edward hopes to study are mathematics, and they are all based on the basic structure of mathematics.

The two do have a lot of common language on mathematics.

However, the mathematics that Edward likes to talk about is still the structure of string theory, because he can discuss the issue of "theoretical physics to quantum physics" with Zhao Yi immediately, and he directly opened the topic of string theory and particles.

Edward said a little bit about his own thoughts, "I think it is possible to analyze and explain the whole process from strings to particles from a mathematical framework."

"The energy distribution of your particles is the breakthrough point. You can think about it this way. First let the strings form energy points, and then make particles from energy points, quarks, neutrinos, etc., anything can be..."

Zhao Yi covered his forehead as he listened.

Whenever he talked about mathematics with Edward Witten and heard the other party's unconstrained imagination, he felt that he was old and could not keep up with the thinking of young people.of

In fact, he was the younger one.

Of course.

This is actually not imagination, but Edward Witten's lifelong obsession with proving string theory. He hopes to see that day in his lifetime, and he will do everything possible to verify it.

If the evolution from theory to microcosm cannot be completed, it is impossible to prove string theory—no one can expect to discover any four-dimensional space or multi-dimensional space, and the initial verification of string theory can only be the microcosmic particle world.

Now Edward has this in mind. He hopes to understand the mathematics from string theory to the tiniest particles. As long as he understands the mathematical principles, he can infer some things. For example, he can use this to improve the particle model and analyze some related properties, and has been verified in some experiments, such as the nuclear organization's collision experiment.

That's what Edward wanted to see.

Obviously.

String theory can "evolve" from theoretical physics to particle physics, and its achievements must exceed the first and second revolutions of string theory.

Others see it differently.

For example, Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi only has a little understanding of string theory and treats it with a neutral attitude. He doesn't believe it and can't deny it. He only believes in things that have been verified or that can be deduced by mathematics.

String theory still exists only in imagination, and no matter how perfect the mathematical structure is, it is only imagination, and it is completely impossible to conduct experiments to verify it.

It is not known whether strings exist or not, and it is really a fantasy to complete the "evolution" from strings to particles.

Zhao Yi did not refuse to discuss with Edward, because Edward's mathematical achievements are indeed amazing, especially in terms of micro-mathematical structure. He can be said to be the No. 1 in the world. In the process of discussing string theory with Edward, he can learn a lot from it. Less stuff.

The topic of the two changed from inherent theoretical mathematics to the nature of microscopic particles, mathematical analysis, and then to the mathematical achievements made by Zhao Yigang--

Lebi Elimination!

In the eyes of top mathematicians, simplifying Fermat's conjecture is just an incidental product of the "Level than Elimination Method", and the "Level than Elimination Method" itself is more valuable.

"I read your paper carefully and it was really interesting and pleasantly surprised, I believe even more delighted are those who study complex mathematics, especially mathematicians in the fields of partial differential equations and topological geometry."

This is a fact.

The Lebi elimination method helps simplify Fermat's conjecture, but the most widely used field of mathematics is the function, column formula and graphic analysis of complex mathematics, which is very helpful to those who study complex mathematics.

Zhou Li's research on the wave equation was stuck in the analysis of complex functions. Using the column ratio elimination method to substitute it in, it simplified a lot at once.

Edward said in admiration, "This method may also be used in the structural analysis of string theory. I have thought about it for a while, and maybe I can use it..."

The following content is a bit 'fantasy' again.

Edward's persistent pursuit is worthy of recognition, and he is sincerely discussing with Zhao Yi, but his character is not perfect.

For example, now.

When he found something that Zhao Yi didn't understand, Edward's expression became a little smug, and then he would comment on what he didn't understand, "What is there not to understand", "It's very simple", "You can study It is easy to understand the energy distribution of particles.”

Zhao Yi sounded like being told by the teacher, "Why are you so stupid!"

Anyway, very upset.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and reminded himself that 'Edward didn't do it on purpose', or 'Don't worry about getting older', but he was still a little upset, so he looked at the time and decided to turn off the call.

The moment the call was turned off, Zhao Yi suddenly remembered that he should say 'thank you', "Edward, I forgot to say, thank you."

"The thing you sent me is the legacy of your unlucky colleague. It is very useful to me, and that is the inspiration for coming up with Lebi Elimination."

"Once again, solemnly say, thank you!"

Zhao Yi smiled after finishing speaking, and then closed the video call.

This time it was Edward's turn to be depressed. He stared at the dark screen, feeling that the other party did it on purpose.

Of course he knows that Zhao Yi's inspiration comes from the mathematics data he sent in the past, which is why he is only talking to Zhao Yi now--

He was depressed.

Edward has always regarded himself as a genius in mathematics. Mathematics is only a perfect tool for his study of string theory, "incidental research", and the result has reached the world's top achievements. He sent Zhao Yi an interesting but useless information, and the other party said Therefore, he came up with a very practical mathematical method, which also simplified Fermat's conjecture by the way.

This made Edward doubt whether he was a genius or not.

Although there is a big difference in age between the two, they are both 'mathematical geniuses', so it is impossible not to compare each other. Because of this, he found it very interesting to find something that Zhao Yi didn't understand, so he made fun of it by the way. A few words.

Now, in the cycle of karma, he found that he was being teased, and he was very depressed by being teased.

It took Edward a long time to smile wryly, "This character really doesn't suffer!"

"but……"

"There are times when you suffer!" He couldn't help showing a gloating smile at the corner of his mouth as he said.

……

Two days later.

Zhao Yi stayed in the laboratory of the research institute all day, just doing the finishing work of the research on HIV virulence gene vif.

Because the research has almost been completed, Ai Lixin is responsible for the project report, and Zhang Wei, Liu Chengjie and others are responsible for other affairs. Zhao Yi only plays a supervisory role in the laboratory.

Zhao Yi feels like a leader who is 'useless', who goes to the laboratory to 'point fingers', but doesn't have to do anything.

Of course.

Now he is definitely not 'useless'. In his spare time, he has been observing the sample of Fan Lei's blood.

The changes in the samples were somewhat disappointing. At the beginning, the 'infected' index of the samples was always low, but later, like other samples, it showed accelerated infection, but the accelerated situation was still not as good as other samples.

"There must be something that inhibits the virus infection!" Zhao Yi can easily come to this conclusion, because many circumstances have been ruled out.

The second is...

He used the Law of Karma.

When the conditions are perfect enough, the "Law of Cause and Effect" can easily draw the result, and the inhibition of infection by the sample is related to the original blood.

The latest blood provided by Fan Lei was tested in detail, and some of it was used in new sample experiments, but nothing came out, at least for the time being.

Zhang Wei suggested 'take another blood test', "maybe we will find out this time? The blood condition of the same person will be slightly different every day. Or, I suggest that Fan Lei be infected with influenza virus or norovirus. , and then check again.”

Standing at the door, Fan Lei's face turned pale. It was the first time he realized that the beautiful and gentle sister Zhang Wei...is so scary!

This is completely when he is a guinea pig!

Ai Lixin came over to express his support for Zhang Wei, and he said to Fan Lei, "It's okay, some non-lethal viruses can also help increase the body's resistance, which is good."

Fan Lei looked at Zhao Yi begging for help, his eyes seem to mean, "If you also nod in agreement, I will run away immediately!"

Fortunately, Zhao Yi did not disappoint him, "No need, there is no need."

He explained, "The abnormality this time is indeed related to the blood sample, but it is hard to say what the specific infection is. There are millions or tens of millions of microorganisms in the human body. Whether it is internal infection or external infection, it will cause blood damage. Influence."

"This kind of experimental method, cutting him into slices for research, can't get results."

"That's right!" Ai Lixin nodded.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly at Fan Lei, "Yeah, Fan Lei is pretty good, he is tall, strong, and a little handsome, so we can't let him suffer." Her smile was very gentle, but Fan Lei was really a little scared , His mood was almost written on his face.

Zhao Yi looked at Fan Lei amusedly. It was no big deal for the researcher to contribute some blood for the experiment. It would be too much to say that he was infected with the virus and doing research.

Ai Lixin and Zhang Wei were just teasing Fan Lei, it would be nice to have some fun doing research too boring.

This guy might have been frightened by the blood draw last time, so he didn't even hear the joke, but thought it was true, it looked really interesting.

But the reason why he helped Fan Lei was mainly because it was meaningless, because routine testing would definitely not find any problems.

Human blood contains many types of cells and substances, many of which are extremely small, which cannot be detected by conventional methods.

If the specific direction is not known, the research can only be shelved in the end.

Now he is just looking for direction.

In the process of constantly observing the samples, he also began to use his ability continuously. It was not easy to draw conclusions. He had to refer to many test results, think carefully and ask questions.

An afternoon passed quickly.

Zhao Yi did not draw an accurate conclusion, but he still found out the general scope. He gathered everyone in the laboratory and said seriously, "For this abnormality, I think it is a protein antibody related to a certain infection. .”

"It did something to suppress the infection."

"We can see that this inhibition is very strong, so it is of great research value."

"why?"

Fan Lei raised a question with a pale face, mainly because what Zhao Yi said seemed to imply that he would be infected with the virus and then test his blood.

"Don't worry, I won't let you be a guinea pig."

Zhang Wei explained amusedly, "The current sample was originally collected from ordinary blood. No matter what is working, the content is very low. Such a low content can work and be detected. What if the content is high? How many times, dozens of times? Then the effect will be very obvious.”

"Oh~"

Fan Lei was not happy at all.

Zhao Yi said with a smile, "How about this, if we can really find out the reason, for example, it is some kind of antibody protein, and name it 'Fan Lei', referring to the specific anti-HIV protein?"

"pretty good."

"It makes sense. It was originally an abnormality found in Fan Lei's blood. It's quite appropriate to use his name."

Fan Lei suddenly looked forward to it.

If you really research something, name it after him?

This can be regarded as Guangzong Yaozu!

Fan Lei was happy for several hours, and the gloom in his heart was swept away. He also felt that Zhao Yi was very interesting. He waited until he went back to the dormitory to sleep at night. When he lay on the bed and thought about it carefully, he found that something was wrong...

That's anti-HIV stuff!

AIDS is associated with his name, and when people say, "Fan Lei... fights AIDS", why does it sound like he has AIDS and has been fighting against the disease?

……

The next morning, Zhao Yi continued to go to the laboratory, but was stopped by Hu Zhibin downstairs in the dormitory.

Hu Zhibin ran over in a hurry and shouted from afar, "Zhao Yi! Zhao Yi! Big news! Big news!"

"what happened?"

Zhao Yi stopped in doubt.

"Don't you know yet?" Hu Zhibin's face became more excited, "Higgs particle, confirmed! Just last night, the Nuclear Organization released a message confirming the existence of the Higgs particle, combined with your research results, And the latest experimental results, the conclusions drawn!"

"This is big news. Everyone is spreading it. You may win a Nobel Prize for it! The Nobel Prize in Physics, that's the Nobel Prize in Physics!"

Hu Zhibin was a little crazy when he spoke.

"Calm down, calm down, Professor Hu, the Nobel Prize is impossible!" Zhao Yi said calmly, shaking his head.

He wasn't surprised to hear the news, and he wasn't particularly excited.

The Higgs particle will be verified sooner or later, all that is needed is a large collision experiment.

A while ago, he heard that the Nuclear Organization had conducted a large-scale collision experiment, and the results were normal, but this won the Nobel Prize in Physics?

It can only be said that the imagination is quite rich!

Chapter 3 Thirty A Woman Without a Soul

Half a month ago, CERN conducted a large-scale particle collision experiment. After a series of analysis and calculation data, the official officially announced the discovery of solid evidence for the existence of the Higgs boson, known as the "God Particle".

"We determined that the detected signal met the criteria for 'sufficient scientific discovery,'" said Larson-Bent, one of the NGO commissioners.
