In the existing system of quantum physics, every fundamental particle is matched by a particle called supersymmetry. The supersymmetric partner has a spin that is half the difference from the original particle (that is, boson The supersymmetric partners of fermions are fermions, and the supersymmetric partners of fermions are bosons), the two have the same mass, and there is a very clear relationship between various coupling constants.

It has been nearly 30 years since supersymmetry was proposed, but no supersymmetric partner of any known particle has been observed experimentally, even conclusive indirect evidence has not been found.Nevertheless, the extraordinary charm of supersymmetry in theory still makes its status in theoretical physics rise steadily, and the concept of supersymmetry can be seen in almost all frontier fields of physics.

A specific theoretical concept has survived for nearly 30 years without any experimental support, and it has grown luxuriantly and colorfully, which is rare in theoretical physics. Once it is confirmed by experiments, it will cause a sensation It goes without saying that, as Weinberg (one of the authors of the electroweak unified theory) puts it, it would be "a stunning achievement of pure theoretical insight".

Of course, in turn, if supersymmetry is unfortunately denied, the domino effect will be disastrous, and the entire theoretical physics world will be devastated.

Now it can be said that supersymmetry has become the basis for the existence of many physical theories, but 'supersymmetry' has not been verified by experiments. Many mathematicians and physicists also hope to have a theory that can support the ' The "so-called symmetry" of "supersymmetry" makes a new argument and explains "the reason why it cannot be found in the experiment".

Zhao Yi said he was done.

Edward Witten thought about Zhao Yi's expression, he seemed to be regretting that "there was no direct confirmation", and he had the urge to vomit blood. After forcibly getting rid of the negative emotions in his mind, he suddenly became energetic and immediately called A relevant person from the university said, "Pay attention to the "Journal of Mathematical Physics" published in China. After the next issue is published, I will get it as soon as possible, both in Chinese and English!"

"It's important, it's important, it's important!"

Edward Witten emphasized it three times in a row, which also confused the relevant personnel.

Journal of Mathematical Physics?

Released in China?

"Is there anything special about this journal?" Some people also discussed, "Professor Witten actually said 'very important', and said it three times in one breath."

Edward Witten is Charles Shimoni's professor of mathematical physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He is like an 'academic star', covering the country m and even the world's academic circles in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and even Princeton University. They all have countless admirers and admirers.

When someone disclosed the news, many people paid attention to the "Journal of Mathematical Physics", and some people subscribed to the previous issues, but they didn't find anything special, so they could only follow the new issue , It's a pity that the new issue will be released for more than a week, and they still have to wait for a long time.

……

Zhao Yi didn't know how Edward Witten felt. In fact, he was not a "Versailles", but he really felt that the demonstration of supersymmetry was just an ordinary research, because the research itself was just a demonstration of the "multi-dimensional space boundary" system a small part of it.

In addition, it is impossible to prove supersymmetry on the basis of particle boundary theory, and the meaning of unprovable theories must be much less.

To a certain extent, Zhao Yi is still very realistic. He cares more about the research that can be verified, not the content that exists only in theory. It may also be related to the main task. Theoretical things cannot win the Nobel Prize. Physics Prize, and the main task requires the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The video conversation with Edward Witten is also very rewarding.

Zhao Yi had some ideas about completing the main task. What he is good at, or the physical achievements he has completed, are mainly particle mathematics and theoretical physics, but the theory may also become a reality.

Theoretical physics is not completely unprovable, just like a series of theories of Higgs, including the Higgs particle and the Higgs field, which were only theoretical at first, but have been proved by experiments.

A more in-depth study of particle mathematics, and use it to connect with reality, infer possible phenomena, and prove them in experiments, will definitely be enough to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, breaking the boundary between theory and reality, and the key lies in the research. close to reality.

The more some physical theories are studied, the more "far away from reality", the more unexplainable things will be discovered, which will make researchers draw some "unbelievable conclusions". Because of this, many famous physics theories Many scholars have turned from atheism to the study of philosophy and theology.

Zhao Yi doesn't want to become like that. The direction of his efforts is to transform from theory to reality, not from theory to become more theoretical.

So he studied quarks.

When continuing to conduct in-depth research on particle mathematics, we cannot avoid the four basic forces, which are strong force, weak force, electromagnetic force and universal gravitation.

Strong and weak forces cannot be avoided in particle mathematics.

The most obvious manifestation of the strong force is the quark. In the existing physical system, the quark has an anti-logic force characteristic--

The greater the distance, the stronger the attraction.

This is strength.

Quarks that exist alone have never been found in experiments. According to scientific experiments, the farther the distance between quarks, the stronger the attraction, and the quarks cannot be too far apart because they will be pulled together by force.

Zhao Yi thought about the theory of 'imparting quality', and felt that strength was the breakthrough point.

The existence of strength is anti-logic, and it is precisely because of anti-logic that there are abnormalities, and it is possible to become the so-called "quality is the manifestation of a higher dimension" in Edward Witten's mouth.

If the mass is the manifestation of a higher dimension, it is naturally unexplainable by the existing three-dimensional theory.

However, if you want to think and do research in detail, you still need to base on a lot of data and other inspirations. If you want to combine the boundary theory of particles with the generation of mass and the four forces, the first step How to cross is very difficult.

soon.

More than a week has passed.

The "Journal of Mathematical Physics" released the latest content on this day. The original release process was that the Chinese version of the magazine was published first, and two weeks later, two issues were selected and the English version was published. However, because of Zhao Yi's " Supersymmetry papers' submission, the editorial department simply made temporary adjustments, and published both Chinese and English publications in one go.

"Journal of Mathematical Physics" is still very influential in China. After publication, it will be sent to various ordering organizations and individuals immediately, and it will also be sold in fixed bookstores and on the Internet.

The department in charge of the magazine's sales did not expect that they received some additional orders from overseas.

In fact, the English version of "Journal of Mathematical Physics" is also mostly sold in China, and overseas orders are usually ordered by fixed cooperative institutions. Few of them specifically order the English version of the magazine. Unexpectedly, there are suddenly more overseas orders.

Although there are only a few hundred copies ordered, the meaning is completely different when there are more overseas orders.

Doesn't this mean that the influence of the magazine has expanded overseas?

The "Journal of Mathematical Physics" is also discussing internally, "We temporarily printed the English version, and the response is not so fast, right? Is it because the news of Zhao Yi's paper has spread?"

"It should be, but we didn't do any publicity?"

"Maybe it was passed on by other people? A few hundred copies, not many."

"I believe there will definitely be a lot of overseas orders in the future, and there are Zhao Yi's papers on it..."

……

early morning.

Academician Chen Yongquan of the Academy of Sciences went to the street to buy a breakfast and took it all the way to his office. When he arrived at the door, he noticed that there was a newly delivered "Journal of Mathematical Physics" on the small table next to him.

This issue of the magazine is a bit thick, and it feels like a thin book.

He picked it up and walked into the office, thinking about eating breakfast while seeing if there was anything he was interested in, but he was attracted just after a glance, and saw a line of small characters under the cover that read——

"Professor Zhao Yi's latest achievement, demonstrating 'supersymmetry'!"

"Zhao Yi?"

"Arguing for supersymmetry?"

Chen Yongquan immediately turned to the location of the thesis and glanced at it. The thesis took up 37 pages, which was more than other contents combined.

"Zhao Yi's thesis is the core of this issue!" Chen Yongquan thought with some surprise, and then noticed the last comment.

Among them are two familiar people, one is Zhang Hongzhi, the head of the physics department, and the other is also from the physics department, Ruan Wenye from the collision analysis team.

Chen Yongquan immediately complained, "Both Zhang Hongzhi and Ruan Wenye knew that Zhao Yi had published a new paper, which was the analysis of supersymmetry, and they didn't tell me!"

Of course.

When reviewing unpublished papers, you must respect the principle of confidentiality. It is also personal ethics not to disclose information, and there is no way to say anything.

Chen Yongquan just complained, and immediately read the paper seriously, and was dizzy by its complicated mathematical structure and logic, but he still read and studied it patiently.

As an academician who studies theoretical physics, he naturally knows what the "supersymmetry problem" represents. The demonstration of "supersymmetry" is definitely an amazing research result, and its significance is also extraordinary. It can be said that it is a breakthrough for theoretical physics The cornerstone was laid.

At the same time, many professional physicists have also done similar things.

They clung to the "Journal of Mathematical Physics" and studied Zhao Yi's papers carefully. They also complained to colleagues, friends in the physics circle, or even on the Internet--

"Zhao Yi's latest thesis is really too difficult!"

"Is that mathematics? No, it's a bible. This doctor of mathematics can't understand it at all!"

"After reading the first few pages of this paper, I think that a degree should be added to the doctorate, because the amount of knowledge of a doctorate is far from enough to understand advanced particle mathematics..."

"It's too difficult! It's too difficult!"

"..."

Yanhua University.

The release of the "Journal of Mathematical Physics" has not yet radiated influence.

Zhao Yi went to eat breakfast very normally. In the morning, he went to class with Fan Lei and Li Renzhe, and he also swiped six "rest coins" by the way. The life of swiping coins is easy and happy, and it can also help replenish energy. After waking up, he thought carefully Next 'quark' problem.

Dismissal.

He, Fan Lei and Li Renzhe went to the school cafeteria to eat together, and happened to meet Qian Hong, so they sat down to eat together.

The phone rang suddenly.

Zhao Yi picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He clicked the answer button with doubts, and heard the other person ask, "Is this Professor Zhao Yi? I am Academician Chen Yongquan of the Academy of Sciences, and I read your supersymmetry analysis... ..."

"Can you explain to me, the last part of the second page about the energy description?"

Zhao Yi was a little dazed. He heard that the opposite was an old academician. After thinking about it, he explained it briefly. His thesis was indeed very difficult, and it was all very professional stuff. for professionals to understand.

It is enough to point out the key.

"So it is!" Chen Yongquan nodded in satisfaction, and added, "I found out about your phone number from Ruan Wenye."

Zhao Yi suddenly explained, "Academician Chen, if you have any questions, you can ask Professor Ruan Wenye and Director Zhang Zhihong, they have reviewed my thesis."

"I asked, you haven't read the magazine yet, have you? Ruan Wenye's comment means 'he didn't read it at all, since it's your paper, just publish it'."

Zhao Yi was a little speechless, and asked, "Where is Director Zhang Zhihong?"

"I haven't seen him. After reading the reviews, he should have understood everything and gave him a very high evaluation." Chen Yongquan put down the phone after finishing speaking.

Before Zhao Yi could take a deep breath, the phone rang again.

"Is it Professor Zhao Yi? I am Shuimu University..."

10 minutes, put down the phone.

"It's Professor Zhao Yi, I'm the Department of Mathematics, Academy of Sciences..."

This time it is 13 minute.

More than half an hour passed, Zhao Yi didn't even eat a mouthful of food, and just talked to others, he looked depressedly at Qian Hong who had eaten, then looked at Fan Lei and Li Renzhe who were waiting, and simply handed over his mobile phone Gave it to Qian Hong.

"What are you doing?" Qian Hong was a little puzzled.

"If there is another call, you can say that it is my assistant, that I am busy and don't have time, and whoever calls at that time, you can just write it down."

After hearing this, Qian Hong pouted depressedly, "...Why, that's your business."

"You are my assistant!"

"What assistant? I'm just an assistant for your course, and it's completely useless now." Qian Hong retorted, but still answered the phone.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Otherwise, how about this, Sister Qian Hong, from now on, I will hire you as my assistant. No, last time the school said that I would have an assistant for me, I have never considered it well, otherwise, you Come and try?"

"I'm busy!"

"It doesn't matter, just turn down other jobs." Zhao Yi said that he felt very reliable. The position of an assistant must be familiar and trustworthy, and he must have certain abilities. It is best to be a woman, and he should be even taller. It's beautiful and eye-catching so that...

cough cough.

Zhao Yi put on a serious work face.

Qian Hong pouted and thought about it seriously, then shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it."

"Okay, you think about it."

Zhao Yi gave the phone to Qian Hong with confidence, then greeted Fan Lei and Li Renzhe, stood up and shouted relaxedly, "Let's go, football field!"

“Dinner is the best time to exercise!”

"go!"

"Together!"

"..."

Qian Hong looked at Zhao Yi who walked out with ease, and then looked at the phone ringing again, feeling suddenly depressed.

why!

He can play football easily, but I can only answer the phone depressed...

assistant?

I don't know what I thought of, and a bright red flashed on my cheeks in an instant.

Chapter 369 The Importance of Supersymmetric Problems

It is difficult for Zhao Yi's relaxed life to last for too long. He only relaxed for one afternoon, but the next day he had to fall into a busy life.

Qian Hong's phone number went off the hook in a short time.

Faced with a large number of calls, she couldn't handle it alone, because many of the callers were heavyweights in domestic academic circles, she wrote down the names and told Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi had a look There was a long list of names, and I still returned several calls in a row.

Among them were calls from Qiu Chengwen.

The purpose of Qiu Chengwen's call was the same as that of others, to inquire about the content of the thesis, but he first asked Zhao Yi if he had considered where to give the academic report.

Zhao Yi said hesitantly, "I haven't considered it yet, let's talk about it after a while."
