Rule department scholar

"Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

Edward Witten quickly turned off the video after speaking.

Zhao Yi stared at the screen for a long time before turning his head to check the time, "05:30? Is it 05:30 in the morning over there? Immediately?"

"Ha ha……"

Of course, Edward Witten could not 'act immediately'. He had to wait until at least nine o'clock to go to work before he could apply to the university for academic exchanges, and he might not be able to get approval.

When a top scholar goes abroad for academic exchanges, he needs to apply some time in advance. The speed of university approval is also a problem. In addition, he also needs to apply for a visa. Domestic visas need to be applied at the embassy.

These all take time.

Zhao Yi was looking forward to the arrival of Edward Witten, who could confirm the research questions together, but felt that it would be great if the other party arrived within half a month. What he did not expect was that only two days later, he received Edward Witten. Teng's phone call, "What are you talking about? Are you almost here?"

"real or fake?"

"You won't be fooling me, running to the school gate, and then telling me that you want me to exercise and stay healthy?"

Zhao Yi felt that he had been 'fooled', but he still arrived at the gate of the university, and it didn't take long to wait for Edward Witten.

When he saw Edward Witten appearing in front of his eyes, he rubbed his eyes hard, and asked in puzzlement, "How did you do it? Two days? Your efficiency is so high?"

"How is that possible? The people in the school are a bunch of slackers, and I didn't even get the person in charge until ten o'clock." Edward Witten complained, and continued, "I told him to go there, and he said to apply in advance , I have to wait for a while, I had a big fight with him."

"Later, I went to apply for a visa, bought a plane ticket, and left him a note before leaving, which said... I'm leaving. If you are all dissatisfied with anything, just fire me!"

Zhao Yi gave Edward Witten a thumbs up with admiration.

Chapter 412 We are really good friends!

Princeton University.

The impact of Edward Witten's departure was too great, and many people were dizzy because of this matter.

Edward Witten is a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He also offers courses at Princeton University and serves as a doctoral supervisor. He has also participated in several mathematics projects of the Institute for Advanced Study. He is the core leader among them and has many jobs. open him.

Now Edward Witten has left suddenly, and there is no buffer time for many things.

The first is courses, projects and conferences.

The courses offered by Edward Witten cannot be interrupted, and other people are required to take charge of the courses. However, his courses are very profound and complicated, and it is not enough to just come in. Mathematicians in related fields must be found to replace them.

The project is relatively better, and it will be temporarily suspended if it cannot be carried out.

In the next two weeks, there are two academic reports to be held, one of which is an awards conference within Princeton University, and Edward Witten is one of the important judges.

These tasks are already a headache, and they still need to face inquiries from relevant government departments.

Edward Witten is one of the top mathematicians. He belongs to the kind of person who is paid close attention to by the country. Every time he goes abroad, he needs to record it, including the destination of the trip, what to do, and the time.

Edward Witten left suddenly, so they can only deal with the people in the national department

But how to explain?

Could it be that Edward Witten left without saying hello?

This is also a headache.

The Princeton administrative department immediately held a temporary meeting, and quickly determined the countermeasures. At the same time, they immediately sent someone to find Edward Witten, not to mention bringing him back directly. At least people should follow Edward Witten. Where exactly is he and what is he doing.

……

Edward Witten came too suddenly.

Yanhua University felt that it was very sudden. The standards for scholars of Edward Witten's level must be different. The school did not have any preparations, and the response was much hasty.

The university's administrative department also responded quickly, finding several professors who knew Edward Witten as receptions, and then arranged temporary accommodation for him, but they soon discovered that the arrangement was too early.

Edward Witten did not go to the university conference hall or other places, but went to the staff dormitory with Zhao Yi, and then stayed inside and did not come out.

The person in charge could only change the strategy temporarily, and asked someone to clean up the room opposite Zhao Yi's dormitory, so that Edward Witten and Zhao Yi could live opposite each other, so it would be more convenient for academic exchanges.

This decision won Edward Witten's favor, but he still stayed in Zhao Yi's room and did not come out.

The two couldn't wait to communicate.

Their communication did not avoid other people, because many people followed, Zhao Yi simply opened the door, as long as the people who followed could participate in the communication.

Zhou Li, Hu Zhibin and the others listened to it for a long time, and they couldn't understand the complicated math problems involved.

It’s fine if they just don’t understand. What surprised them was that the two of them seemed to be talking about theology and philosophy instead of a normal exchange of mathematics.

"2 to the Nth power contains the secret of the nature of the universe!" Edward Witten said solemnly.

"That's right, let's solve the mystery together!"

"I can't wait."

"..."

"I am now very sure that there is a direct relationship between 2 to the Nth power and mass. Mass is a product of high dimensions, so if there are high-dimensional creatures, maybe they are composed of '2 to the Nth power'?"

"To be precise, some kind of high-dimensional substance directly related to '2 to the Nth power'."

"Maybe it's the quality?"

"If mass is a product of higher dimensions, of course it could be. But I think there are other possibilities."

"Don't you believe in m-theory?" Edward Witten was full of surprise and disbelief.

Zhao Yi said indifferently, "I have always reserved my opinion. And it has nothing to do with our discovery."

Edward Witten took a deep breath and said, "Continue with the previous content. If there are high-dimensional creatures, they may be composed of 2 to the Nth power, so it can be inferred that its height cannot be measured."

"Height? Multi-dimensional height, maybe just a point."

"Of course, that's why it's unpredictable and meaningless. Just like God, in movies, God is a vague concept. Sometimes he appears similar to a human being, and sometimes he looks like a giant. There is no exact height, but he Possess the ability to create everything, which may be a manifestation of high dimensions."

"Can God create all things? In the mythology system of our country, it is Nuwa who created human beings."

"Speaking of creation. Because 2 to the Nth power represents mass. Maybe God just throws out a certain characteristic, and all things and humans appear."

"really."

Zhao Yi nodded approvingly, "It sounds unbelievable. But maybe it's just because we are three-dimensional, while God or characters in other myths are four-dimensional or five-dimensional. Creation is very easy for them." He thought Continued, "But regardless of the factor of God, we human beings, no, microscopic energy, will we also want to pursue quality? I mean, 2 to the Nth power, pursue this value?"

"This one……"

Edward frowned and thought about it, then picked up a pen and paper and kept counting. It took a long time before he raised his head and asked, "Is this possible?"

"As long as it is not directly denied, it is a harvest!"

Zhao Yi became a little excited, "If energy has a tendency, in other words, their existence is to break the three-dimensional boundary, then it can explain their combination, and it can also explain why the particles composed of energy keep moving .”

"Pursuing high dimensions?"

"Correct!"

"Ula Ula~~~"

Zhou Li, Hu Zhibin and others were a little dazed when they sat by and listened. They couldn’t understand mathematical logic at all, but they could understand some content. God, Nuwa, high-dimensional creatures, etc., what they were talking about something?

Are the two discussing mathematics, or philosophy, or faith?

Some people say that 'the end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology', but it sounds too weird to see two top mathematicians discussing philosophy and theology together.

Doorway.

Several people couldn't help discussing, "What the hell are they talking about? My English is not good, I seem to have heard some kind of God? Zhao Yi also said Nuwa, what is it!"

"Maybe discussing philosophy!"

"I understand. They are talking about multi-dimensional space, or something. They seem to mean that God and Nuwa both come from high-dimensional space."

"This statement makes sense, but what does it have to do with mathematics? Aren't they doing particle mathematics research together?"

"Maybe they are calculating the coordinates of God and Nuwa?"

"Maybe? I just heard that '2 to the Nth power is very strange and mysterious'. Could it be that the coordinates they calculated are related to 2 to the Nth power? This is easy to calculate, and I can memorize it when N is within 10." .”

Zhou Li walked towards the outside, and couldn't listen to it when he reached the door, he scolded in a low voice, "What are you talking nonsense about? Don't talk nonsense, Zhao Yi and Mr. Wei Teng are discussing the issue of multi-dimensional space."

Someone asked with interest, "The problem of multi-dimensional space? Can you explain it in detail? I seem to have heard them say that they have made a big discovery."

"Cough cough."

Zhou Li straightened his chest, and explained seriously, "That's right. They are trying to use mathematics to explain the way God created things. If you say this, you must think it is a myth. But it can be understood in this way, that is, how to study out of thin air Create particles with mass, understand?"

"what……"

"is it?"

"Is it really possible?"

Several people all opened their mouths in surprise.

Zhou Li looked at the reactions of several people, his expression remained unchanged, and he felt a little complacent in his heart, "Sure enough, other people can't understand, that's the key point that I can understand it."

……

the other side.

Zhao Yi and Edward are still seriously discussing and researching, but they don't know that their research will be regarded as "research on the method of creating particles with mass".

In fact, the research of the two is still a theory. It can be understood as that they hope to combine the inside and outside of their theory through the analysis of '2 to the Nth power', that is, through the possible mass bond, to penetrate the particle Mathematical theory and M-theory.

Of course.

The core is to analyze the relationship between '2 to the Nth power' and quality.

Edward Witten is based on M theory, from the perspective of the mathematical framework of multi-dimensional space, to study the content related to '2 to the Nth power'.

Zhao Yi uses the boundary theory of particles, to be precise, the 'energy theory', hoping to find the relationship between the existence of microscopic energy and '2 to the Nth power', preferably to communicate the problem of quality.

Both had new ideas on the first day.

Edward Witten believes that 'energy is the manifestation of mass', 'the mass of 2 to the Nth power is common in multi-dimensional space, but when it is released into three-dimensional space, it can explode with astonishing intensity of energy, and it will definitely form Something that can be observed experimentally or with the naked eye'.

"This kind of thing is either strong force, weak force, or electromagnetic force, or it may be something common, such as nuclear?" Edward Witten thought and explained.

Zhao Yi thought of the microscopic energy change trend, and directly named it "two-way state". "Perhaps, all unit energy hopes to evolve towards the size of '2 to the Nth power', so as to break through the three-dimensional boundary."

"In other words, if all units of energy want to break through the three-dimensional boundary, they will evolve towards the size of '2 to the Nth power'."

This statement caused the two of them to fall into a long time of thinking. They discussed and researched without sleeping and eating, and time has been left behind.

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

The person in charge of the reception came over to have dinner, saying that a welcome meal was ready, but Edward Witten said, "I'll just eat here, pack something and bring it here, I want two hamburgers."

Zhao Yi also waved his hand and said, "I also eat hamburgers, I haven't eaten Western food for a long time."

Their requirements are very simple.

The discussion between the two never stopped. The person in charge didn't dare to bother, so he could only buy a few hamburgers, and they bought a dozen more, because the other accompanying people couldn't leave the protagonist behind. Eat a big meal, and simply eat a burger together.

Edward Witten was immersed in discussion and research, and he found that it was indeed a very correct decision to come to Yanhua University to do research with Zhao Yi, which was much more meaningful than doing research alone.

They can confirm each other, and when they have an idea to express, the other party can also help to think about it. The second is to prove the idea, mainly in terms of mathematical structure. Both of them are top mathematicians. Edward's definition is "the smartest in the world." When encountering difficult math problems, Zhao Yi can often give the results directly.

Of course.

He is also very helpful to Zhao Yi in demonstrating his ideas in terms of logical framework and other domain knowledge.

This is rare.

Edward Witten seldom meets people who can keep up with his own thinking. Now that he is doing research with Zhao Yi, the process is really smooth and he feels very comfortable. They are all top-level geniuses, and Zhao Yi may be even more Some geniuses have more imagination, but in many fields of mathematics, the accumulation of basic knowledge is relatively poor.

So the two just happen to complement each other.

"It would be great if I met Zhao Yi earlier, maybe I can complete more research, and even...prove string theory in my lifetime!"

This is a great dream!

With such a dream, Edward Witten has been working hard to do research work. He hopes that he can see that day. At the same time, he has also made a recent decision, "These days, I live here in Zhao Yi and have been Discuss and research with him. We are friends, and we are friends who forget the years, and I really want to spend more time like this."

"Presumably, Zhao Yi also thinks so..."

Edward Witten was thinking, and the eyes he looked at Zhao Yi changed, as if he was a good friend who had worked together for many years and had a perfect understanding.

Zhao Yi also enjoys doing research with Edward Witten. They are really good partners, and they verify each other's ideas and mathematical problems, making research faster and more inspirational.

However, he did not concentrate, while discussing with Edward Witten, occasionally checking the time.

Soon it was nine o'clock.

"The form of this column may be found in topological forms, special form transformations..."
