Rule department scholar

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he stood up.

Edward Witten was still listening and nodded, looked at Zhao Yi with some doubts, and heard Zhao Yi say, "Okay, Edward, let's stop here today. Does the school have any arrangements for you? If you are tired, You can sleep with me, there is a guest room on the left, please feel free to do the rest."

"I have something to go!"

"...??"

Edward was puzzled.

Standing by the side, Zhou Li was also a little puzzled. He waved at Zhao Yi, "What are you going to do?"

"Nine o'clock!"

Zhao Yi said as a matter of course, "Today is Friday, Xiaoqing should have finished her class, I will pick her up. We have an appointment."

"But, don't you think..." Edward Witten opened his mouth wide in surprise, and opened his mouth full of puzzlement. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Don't think so? I'll go first."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he hurried out, and only added at the door, "By the way, Edward, it's great to do research with you, I really wish I had more time."

"Kick, kick, stare..."

There were only footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

Chapter 413 What does it look like!What a look!

Edward Witten kept turning his head and looked at the door, his face almost had three large characters (letters) of 'why' written on his face. He had no idea that the last sentence was still seriously studied, and the next sentence would suddenly turn around...

Then, gone?

He sat there in a daze for a long time before turning his head and asking Zhou Li, "Why did he leave?"

"He said it?" Zhou Li was also a little uncomfortable, but he could understand after looking at the time, "Going on a date."

"Xiaoqing? Dating? Dating a woman?"

"if not?"

"...but we're communicating problems, the most important math problems, M-theory problems."

"so what?"

"Don't you understand?" Edward was full of incredulity. "M theory, or mathematical research is the most important thing. We are making rapid progress! And it is a major progress!"

"I know." Zhou Li nodded understandingly.

"what do you know?"

"I……"

Zhou Li was blocked for a sentence, and wanted to really say something to show that he understood it, but he really didn't understand the mathematical structure, so he could only briefly say, "You are studying to break through the boundaries of multi-dimensional space. For the question, take 2 to the Nth power as the breakthrough point, right?"

"You think the Nth power of 2 is likely to be related to quality, or a very important factor. I understand."

Edward Witten looked at Zhou Li suspiciously, but he couldn't question it anymore, it would be very impolite to do so.

He simply said, "How about this, can you talk about your opinion? From your point of view and explain your understanding, maybe it will be of great help to me." The tone in his voice was very sincere, and he really wanted to continue talking. this problem.

Zhou Li opened his mouth to say something, and after a long time he looked down at the time, and said with some regret, "I really want to discuss it with you, Mr. Wei Teng, but it's too late today, if I don't go back, maybe There are family problems."

Edward Witten immediately reacted, "So you are also dealing with the relationship with women, right?"

"Uh……"

"To a certain extent, yes." After Zhou Li said hello to the person in charge of the reception, he hurried away.

Edward Witten looked around the entire room, and found that only he and the person in charge of the reception were left, and there were three or five thick security personnel standing at the door. He suddenly felt that the world had become lonely. He sighed, looked at the person in charge, and asked Said, "Okay, it's really late, where do I live?"

"opposite."

The person in charge of the reception breathed a sigh of relief, and he also hoped to arrange it quickly, otherwise he would have to stay up all night. He explained, "We want you to exchange academics with Academician Zhao, and it's convenient to live nearer."

"Thank you!"

Edward Witten took another look at Zhao Yi's room, took a few draft calculations from the table, sighed and went to the opposite side.

……

For the next two consecutive days, Edward Witten could not see Zhao Yi again. At first, he asked where Zhao Yi had gone, but later he simply stopped asking, because Zhao Yi made it clear that he would continue to discuss issues on Monday.

He waited for an acquaintance.

Camila, and the administrative staff who came with them, they came all the way after getting off the plane, and they all looked a little dusty.

Camila came over and complained, "A lot of people at school said that you and your wife quarreled and left in a fit of anger. If I didn't know that you have been separated for several years, I would have thought it was true. Next time you do this, can you tell me first?" one time."

"Yes, Mr. Witten."

The administrator also followed suit.

Edward Witten didn't care about the complaints of the two, and his mood was not much better, because he hadn't seen Zhao Yi for two consecutive days, and he always hoped to continue to communicate the problems he found, but it turned out that the flowers were gone after all the waiting. He didn't wait for Zhao Yi to come back either.

He found himself impatient.

For example, follow the person in charge of this university around, not only the person in charge, but also people from the science and technology department.

Someone came to ask him specifically about his views on the 'Boundary Theory of Particles'. Of course, he was very supportive and gave a high evaluation. He also complained to Zhao Yi by the way, "That is a great theory created by geniuses. But geniuses are more important than others." You should be in the office, not go out and play."

"I just heard that you are going to establish a special particle mathematics research institution, the core of which is the boundary theory around particles."

"This idea is really, very good, but the premise is that you can let Zhao Yi concentrate on doing relevant research, instead of giving yourself a vacation on weekends and going on dates with girls. If my students are doing major research like this Do it, I will definitely give him the lowest rating, and I will criticize him face to face..."

The others looked at each other with a very helpless expression. Why don't they want Zhao Yi to concentrate on particle mathematics research?

But, can't do it!

Camila also knew the reason for Edward Witten's depression, and she also became depressed. Before coming, she was a little bit looking forward to it. She really liked Zhao Yi, and liked his intelligence, knowledge and seriousness. A genius always has a strange charm. Deep in her heart, she hoped that Zhao Yi would break up with that Chinese girl, even if the girl saved her. What's the deal with the dearest best friend?

result……

Their relationship is so good, so good that Zhao Yi gave up continuing to discuss new research findings with Edward for her sake.

"I can't compare to her!"

Camila thought about that girl carefully, and felt a little disappointed in her heart.

……

on Monday.

Zhao Yi finally came back.

In fact, he came back on Sunday afternoon, but after going out to play for two consecutive days, he was really a little tired, so he stayed in the teacher's building to rest for a while, and returned to the staff dormitory the next morning.

He only sorted out his things in the staff dormitory, and then went directly to the Biomedical Research Institute.

He still has to go to the laboratory on Monday. He needs to care about the research progress of the laboratory project, help Zhang Wei, Liu Chengjie and others solve some problems encountered in the research, or give his own suggestions and so on.

This work does not take much time, but the efficiency is very high.

Zhao Yi stayed in the laboratory for more than two hours, then checked the time and simply went to half a class, went to the cafeteria to eat early, and finally returned to the staff dormitory.

Edward Witten knew that Zhao Yi was coming back, so he had been waiting at the door for a long time. He lived opposite Zhao Yi. At first, he frequently looked downstairs, or glanced at the corridor to see if anyone was coming up, and then he moved. A reclining chair, sitting in front of the corridor window, flipping through a magazine in his hand.

When Zhao Yi was walking upstairs, Camilla had already helped to report in advance, "Edward, Zhao Yi is back!"

"is it?"

Edward Witten stood up abruptly, stood at the stairs and kept staring, watching Zhao Yi walk up step by step with his own eyes, his expression was even a little excited, "You are finally back!"

"what?"

Zhao Yi didn't expect that Edward Witten would greet him at the stairs, so he hurriedly said, "Don't stand here, go in, am I coming back?"

"I've been waiting for more than two days." Edward Witten's tone was somewhat resentful, "I've been thinking for the past two days, why don't you put research first?"

Zhao Yi smiled awkwardly, and was about to explain.

Edward Witten continued, "Why did you achieve so many results even though you obviously didn't put research first?"

"This one……"

Zhao Yi didn't understand what Edward Witten meant. Is it a compliment or a sarcasm?

Maybe both?

He shook his head and explained, "You're thinking wrong. I always put research first? The premise is working hours."

"Doing research is divided into working hours?" Edward Witten pursed his lips forcefully, complaining, "But what about the morning? What did you do? I waited all morning..."

"Research!"

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I went to the medical institution, which is the Biomedical Research Institute. I have a laboratory there, and I have a lot of research to do."

"Medical research? I seem to have heard it, but our research is more important, right?"

"Medicine is more important!"

Zhao Yi said clearly, "I mainly do biomedical research, and mathematics and particle mathematics are just incidental to interest."

"...?"

Edward Witten was even more confused. He asked, "Medicine, what is there to study? Doctors are just technicians. Medical research is done with the help of instruments. It would be too wasteful for you to study medicine."

His words were filled with academic disdain.

Top mathematicians and theoretical physicists stand at the top of the pyramid of academic disdain, while medical research and biological research can only stand at the middle level at most. In fact, there is a certain reason. Many top mathematicians are true geniuses, but few medical researchers would be considered geniuses.

Zhao Yi did not have the idea of ​​'academic contempt', he said, "It's just a different view. I think medical research is very important and very interesting. First of all, medical research has great application prospects, and some major research can also benefit all mankind. .”

"And there will be many new discoveries in medical research, including the 2CV-Bing hydrogen molecule and Tianqing protein we discovered a while ago, which are very effective in the treatment of AIDS."

"Some discoveries will be very interesting. In addition to treating diseases, there may also be other gains. For example, I heard that there is now a genetic technology. As long as all the functions of human genes are analyzed, it may be possible to use certain changes in genes , allowing humans to achieve longevity in the most scientific way."

What Zhao Yi said earlier was wow, Edward Witten chose to 'shield', but the latter paragraph was quite clear. He thought for a while and suddenly realized, "So it's like this, medical research can prolong life? This is true, it is possible accomplish!"

"So as long as you can prolong your life and live for decades, you will have decades more to do research, and you can spend more time on particle mathematics and M-theory research..."

"It's a really good idea. I always feel that I am old..."

Zhao Yi felt novel when he heard it.

He clearly said 'life extension', which is to make human beings healthier, but when it came to Edward Witten, how did it become 'live decades more, and spend more time doing research'?

How the hell did this get passed?

Zhao Yi shook his head silently, but decided not to argue with Edward Witten, he could understand whatever he liked, since he is such a great person anyway.

……

Zhao Yi and Edward Witten exchanged questions together again, and both of them immediately immersed themselves in it. It is really good for them to do research together. They can provide each other with ideas, exchange mathematical problems together, and compare new ideas.

But research is not easy to do, they still need more inspiration and more ideas.

For several days in a row, they have been demonstrating around the nth power of 2, but found that there is no substantial gain. Later, Edward Witten thought for a long time, "We can not prove the nth power of [-] for the time being, but Think of it as an idea, a setting, if it is your research, the setting is that the particles are purely composed of energy, and the boundary does not contain energy points containing 'two to the nth power' units."

Zhao Yi thought about it carefully, and gave Edward Witten a thumbs up.

Edward Witten continued, "Otherwise, we will do your argument together. If it is a separate argument, I think it will be difficult to gain anything."

"Alright."

They began to conduct mathematical structure and detailed research around Zhao Yi's ideas.

It's not smooth either.

After they made the 'assumption', they can deduce with certainty that for particles that do not contain mass, the value of the peripheral energy point does not contain '2 to the Nth power', but the particle that Zhao Yi really completed the demonstration is only purely composed of Energy makes up photons.

In addition, it is not enough to just demonstrate photons. Photons are the most common particles. In theory, they do not contain the unit energy of '2 to the Nth power'. It is meaningless to study only photons. They need to study those and [-] N times at the same time. square, that is, there are particles with mass.

Mathematical framework is also a big problem.

When they were doing mathematical calculations together, they found that they would be restricted by the 'Higgs field', or 'three-dimensional space', if they want to continue to do follow-up research, they must solve this problem .

The two of them kept staring at the whiteboard and the draft paper, without moving their eyes a lot of the time.

Zhao Yi dragged his chin and watched carefully. He didn't know how long it had passed. He moved his neck and found that his muscles had become a little stiff. He turned his head and looked at Edward Witten, and simply stood up and walked to the corridor outside the door. Standing in front of the window, I looked at the small playground in the distance.

It was a playground with turf.

The turf is not intended to provide a football field. Several rows of brightly colored flowers are planted on it. There are stone piers and stone chairs dotted among them. It looks like a small garden from a distance. It is a place for students to rest. When the weather is good Someone will sit at a stone table and study.

"Perhaps we should go for a walk?"

Zhao Yi thought about it, but felt that it was meaningless, just like students, holding a book and going to the small playground, the surrounding environment is very comfortable, but how many people really study?

Mostly just enjoy the environment.
