They are embarrassed, and others are even more embarrassed.

There are not only a group of people from the Academy of Sciences and Yang Zhenning, but also other people from the Physics Society, and people from Jiangzhou University.

Jiangzhou University's home court must be full of university people. Several professors stood by, and they didn't know how to persuade them, and they couldn't say what they wanted to say.

It's very simple, no qualifications!

The construction of a collider is a huge project, and it is useless for them to have any opinions. The country will only ask the top physicists, scholars, or top talents in other related fields.

Others can only listen.

They felt that it was a "fairy fight", and ordinary people couldn't do anything to persuade them.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi is here.

When they heard the news that Zhao Yi was coming, a large group of people rushed out, some of them welcomed Zhao Yi in, but they didn't follow them in, obviously they didn't want to stay here any longer.

After hearing Ruan Wenye's explanation, Zhao Yi felt a little depressed.

A group of people from the Academy of Sciences and Yang Zhenning let him sit in the past, one is to show their closeness, and the other is to want him to stand in line.

Ruan Wenye pulled him over, probably to keep him neutral.

It's so complicated here!

Zhao Yi wanted to go out straight away. It would be good to go to the hotel for a rest. He didn’t want to be a mediator, but he had to think about things wherever he stood. Speak, because he is one of the most productive men in physics in the country.

Everyone in the conference room looked over, obviously wanting to hear what Zhao Yi had to say, but no one asked directly.

Zhang Hongzhi, the dean of the physics department, asked Zhao Yi for his opinion through Qian Zhijin. Knowing that Zhao Yi was opposed to building a collider, he didn't want to ask.

Yang Zhenning didn't even want to talk about this topic.

Zhao Yi didn't speak at all.

Anyway, no one asked directly, so I just pretended I didn't understand what it meant, and it felt awkward to speak directly when no one asked.

The conference room fell into an eerie silence.

At some point, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore and called out Zhao Yi's name, "Professor Zhao!"

Everyone looks over.

Du Tianjun, a researcher at the Department of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, also participated in Ruan Wenye's team, went to the European collider experiment site, and did data analysis work.

Du Tianjun called out to Zhao Yi, and found that he had attracted all the attention. He was in a dilemma for a while, and finally he could only bite the bullet and continue, "What do you think about this? It's a collider. You should know about it, right?"

Zhao Yi didn't answer immediately, but looked at Ruan Wenye next to him, wanting to hear his so-called 'neutral opinion'.

Ruan Wenye coughed lightly, waved his hands and said, "I won't participate in this matter."

Zhao Yi had doubts in his eyes.

Ruan Wenye is also from the Physics Department of the Academy of Sciences, and his rank is very high, otherwise it would be impossible to lead a group to participate in the work of the Nuclear Organization.

Ruan Wenye explained, "I am the head of the delegation to the Nuclear Organization."

"—?"

What does this have to do with posting an opinion about building a collider?

"Old slick!"

Zhao Yi complained vigorously in his heart, turned his head to look at the others, and said with a sigh, "I neither support nor oppose this matter."

The eyes of the others became weird.

Yang Zhenning directly opened his mouth to criticize, and his tone was not very good. "Young people have to take on the responsibility and cannot escape. It's nothing if you don't express your opinions. You are the top mathematician and you have researched physics. You speak and do things. How can you slip your head?"

The people in the conference room understood Zhao Yi's statement as 'I don't want to express my opinion'.

It's fine for Ruan Wenye not to express his opinion. Everyone knows that he is very "slick" and he has an administrative position on his shoulders. He is not considered a pure scholar, and it is normal not to express his opinion on similar major matters.

Zhao Yi didn't express his opinion, so it was a bit unreasonable.

Zhao Yi smiled at Yang Zhenning, stood up and explained, "I said I have no objection or support, it's just my opinion. If you want me to say, this matter itself should not cause conflicts. It doesn't matter whether you support it or not. Whether you oppose it or not, it is all for the sake of science and the development of the country."

This tone set the nod.

Whether it is a group of the Physics Department of the Academy of Sciences or Yang Zhenning himself, there is no selfishness in the matter of building a collider.

If it is really selfish, it is also for research.

"I have also seen and entered the collider in Europe. I have seen a lot of experimental data. It is really interesting. It is very useful for the study of microphysics."

"Without considering economic interests, from an academic point of view, I have no reason to object. Presumably Professor Yang is the same, right?"

Yang Zhenning nodded affirmatively.

No one can object to the construction of a large-scale physical experiment facility without considering the large amount of capital investment.

"However, the input cost must be considered, because it involves a very large investment, and whether the investment is worth it is the point of controversy." Zhao Yi analyzed the matter very clearly, and this is where the controversy arose. Is the high investment worth it?

He continued, "So I'm not against building the largest collider, I'm against building it 'now'."

"The timing is wrong!"

After hearing Zhao Yi's statement, other people looked at it seriously, and even Yang Zhenning felt that his statement was very novel.

"One is from an academic and research point of view. Do we have a need to use a collider? Anyway, I personally don't have it for the time being. Even if some data is useful, the shared data from Europe is enough."

Several people in the conference room nodded.

"Of course, you can also say that it will be there after it is built, but the collider is used for verification, not for raising questions. Otherwise, what do theoretical physicists do? As early as 50 years ago in foreign countries, The Higgs problem has already been raised, and it is only now being verified by the collider, rather than the collider discovering something new, and then analyzing what it is."

"The logical relationship here must be clarified."

"The basic theoretical level is very important. At least so far, there has not been a problem in China that requires the construction of the world's largest collider to verify it."

"It's academic."

Zhao Yi pondered for a moment and continued, "The other is the economy. Investments of billions or tens of billions are not casual talk."

"Our country's economy is developing rapidly, and it may be doubled or even more in ten years. It is also the construction of the largest collider. Maybe by then, the investment and payment will be nothing, but now we need more Much worse."

He glanced left and right and concluded, "So I'm not against building the world's largest collider, but against building it now."

"Wait another ten years, maybe the time will come and we can start building."

Everyone in the meeting room thought about it.

Zhao Yi sat back.

Ruan Wenye gave him a thumbs up, and exclaimed in a low voice, "That's really good, I think so too."

"Ha ha."

Zhao Yi smiled at him.

Most of the people in the conference room were thinking, some nodded towards Zhao Yi, which meant they agreed with his statement, while some still frowned, but did not open their mouths to refute anything.

One is that what Zhao Yi said makes sense.

The second is that even if Zhao Yi's statement does not meet his expectations, it is still more acceptable than direct agreement or opposition.

Then the atmosphere changed for the better.

The group of the Academy of Sciences and Yang Zhenning were still 'awkward', but because Zhao Yi was in the middle to mediate, they didn't directly tear up their faces, and they smiled at Yang Zhenning who was familiar with it, and it seemed that it was over.

Zhao Yi also felt quite depressed. He didn't want to be a peacemaker in the middle, but he had to accept the identity of a 'peacemaker'.

The entire group of the Academy of Sciences and Yang Zhenning came only when they heard that he was coming. Although it seemed a bit 'passive', he was indeed the protagonist of the seminar.

The hospitality of Jiangzhou University is also very warm, and the accommodation arrangement does not need to be described.

In addition to taking a large group of academics on a school tour, there are excursion programs, that is, hosting a group on a tour to nearby attractions prior to a seminar.

Jiangzhou is a city with mountains and water, the surrounding scenery is very beautiful, and there are many places with historical and cultural heritage, all of which are worth seeing with your own eyes.

A group of people were entertained to go sightseeing and discuss academics during the process.

Zhao Yidu was very satisfied with the reception.

He originally thought that he would just participate in the seminar, but he didn't expect to be able to discuss issues with several top physics experts while enjoying the fresh air between mountains and rivers while visiting the scenery, and his personal spiritual realm seemed to be different.

Of course.

In fact, as far as academics are concerned, direct communication and boring research are better than anything else. Looking at the scenery will definitely affect your concentration. Maybe you just thought of a problem and found a beautiful place to take a photo. up.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi didn't plan to do any research. He just talked about quantum physics and theoretical physics with Yang Zhenning, Ruan Wenye and the Academy of Sciences.

The harvest of a few days is not small.

Yang Zhenning explained the parity non-conservation problem to Zhao Yi in detail. His explanation is definitely different from Gao Yihua's according to the "textbook". Not only is the content more detailed, but it also goes deep into the problem of particle spin.

Zhao Yi is very interested in this question.

The discovery process of parity non-conservation, in simple terms, is that the spin direction of the particle is asymmetric when it is mirrored.

There are many kinds of particles in quantum physics, and 'spin' is a characteristic of particles, which refers to the intrinsic motion caused by the intrinsic angular momentum of the particle. Its operation rules are similar to the angular momentum of classical mechanics, and thus a magnetic field.

Although sometimes the spin of a particle is compared to the spin in classical mechanics, in fact, the two are completely different in nature.

Yang Zhenning has studied the problem of particle spin very deeply.

Zhao Yi also gained a deeper understanding of the spin of particles, and the spin of particles directly implemented all his research.

For example, supersymmetry.

Particles with a half-integer spin are called fermions, which obey Fermi-Dirac statistics; particles with non-negative integer spins are called bosons, which obey Bose-Einstein statistics.

The research on the symmetry of fermions and bosons is the problem of supersymmetry, and it is also the basis of the demonstration of M theory.

Another example is multidimensional space boundary mathematics.

What Zhao Yi is doing now is to construct the mathematics of multi-dimensional space boundaries, but he prefers to call it the 'Higgs Mechanism Mathematics'. Simply put, it is the mathematics that allows particles to produce mass, and the particles that can produce mass include Bose In the Higgs mechanism, both particles and fermions can produce mass through the interaction with the Higgs field.

So……

"How to construct the energy distribution of bosons and fermatons? Can it make it possible to produce mass through the mathematical interaction with the Higgs mechanism?"

"How does the Higgs mechanism mathematics need to be constructed?"

The former needs to be studied by Zhao Yi himself, while the latter is a part to be spliced ​​with Edward's research.

Zhao Yi has been thinking about these issues all the time, and he continues to study on the basis of particle boundary theory.

Whether it is the problem of particle spin or other particle characteristics, especially the research at the forefront of the world is very meaningful to him.

Before the start of the seminar, he continued to communicate with other people and asked about related content. Yang Zhenning, Zhang Hongzhi and others found that Zhao Yi always talked about this issue, and asked with interest, "What are you researching?"

Zhao Yidao, "It's a project that I collaborated with Edward Witten on the multi-dimensional space boundary problem of M theory."

"We have found a good idea, which is to use the Higgs mechanism to connect multi-dimensional spaces. Maybe there will be some progress."

He said it bluntly, even expressing his thoughts directly.

Yang Zhenning was very surprised. He felt that Zhao Yi was a little too young. How could he openly and directly express his research ideas, ideas, inspiration and other things?

In case it gives someone else an idea...

wrong!

Thinking of the names 'Edward Witten' and 'Zhao Yi', he suddenly fully understood.

So what if others know?

If you divide the mathematics level of those who have won Fields into third, sixth, and ninth grades, Edward Witten must easily rank among the top three. He is a theoretical physicist, but theoretical physics is a branch of mathematics. Mathematics Ability is definitely one of the best in the world.

Zhao Yi...

Recognized as the number one mathematician in the world, he proved Fermat's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, created a three-dimensional tremor waveform diagram, and analyzed the field of number theory without precedent. In the study of theoretical physics, he also created a " Particle Boundary Theory'.

These two 'super mathematicians' join forces, are they afraid that others will steal their inspiration?

What can I do if I know it?

Who knows M-theory better than Edward Witten?Who has a higher level of mathematics than Zhao Yi?If such a person really existed, he wouldn't bother to do things like 'plagiarism'.

Know the reaction of the people around you.

When Zhao Yi explained his research in detail, the others shook their heads. They were either not optimistic about the research, or they simply couldn't follow the train of thought when it involved complicated mathematics.

Although they are also top-level physicists, and their mathematics level is definitely not bad, they have not done in-depth research on M theory and particle energy theory, so it is not easy to keep up with their ideas.

Yang Zhenning couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

If you go back 20 years, his level is definitely not bad, but after all, he is getting older and his thinking is a little bit inflexible.
