Rule department scholar

It's kind of scary!

Zhao Yi hurriedly sent Camila out of the room to prevent the nightmare of a fierce battle at midnight. By the way, he called the 'secretary' Qian Hong and asked her to give him a massage. After doing research for several days in a row, his whole body felt very If you are tired, you may need a good massage before you can continue to rest.

Of course Qian Hong was very dissatisfied, she was called up just as soon as she fell asleep, and thinking of coming to Zhao Yi's dormitory at night...

"Don't go!"

She refused outright.

After 10 minutes, she appeared in Zhao Yi's room, replaced Camila's work, helped clean up the house, and went to the sofa to give Zhao Yi a simple massage.

"The method is not good!"

"You need to learn more, this is still very useful! I have a classmate named Zhao Linlin..."

"come on!"

With a stomach full of complaints, Qian Hong couldn't help asking curiously, "Why did you ask me to come over? Is that Camilla? She was in your room by herself just now?"

"correct."

"Then why did you let me come?"

Zhao Yi looked up at Qian Hong seriously, and said in a critical tone, "You are safer!"

"—?"

Qian Hong didn't react for a long time, and after a while, she suddenly exerted force with her fingers and hammered him hard on the shoulder.

"Sigh~~"

"go to hell!"

……

That night Zhao Yi kept thinking about analyzing the problem vigorously, and he didn't sleep for a while until four o'clock in the morning, and it was only nine o'clock when he woke up.

The door was knocked 'dong', 'dong'.

He opened the door in his pajamas, and saw Edward Witten standing at the door holding a pile of documents.

"Please come in."

He stepped aside.

"I just went to the library to look for information, I believe you will use it." Edward Witten put the book on the table.

Zhao Yi said, "You will use it too."

"what?"

"I mean, we're together."

Zhao Yi spoke very seriously, and he had already thought about it, "This is the research we did together. Including the previous content, I just shaped the expression of the function."

"But that's the most important thing."

Edward Witten said with some surprise, "You did most of the work. I only have 20.00% at most, no, [-]%, or even less."

"However, without you, I would not be able to complete it." Zhao Yi still said very seriously. He really felt that Edward Witten had a part in the result. It was indeed a function he created, and it was also the most important part of the result. , but it’s just a function, not as good as a three-dimensional tremor waveform, and it’s just a summary of some prime numbers.

The part where the two discussed and researched together is also very, very important.

He continued, "And I want to discuss it again and do some research, because I'm not sure, what I'm doing is a strong analysis. Maybe there will be some problems, the two of us together, looking for problems, or making conclusions?"

Edward Witten looked at Zhao Yi seriously, and finally said very sincerely, "Thank you, Zhao Yi, you are really a great person."

"of course."

Zhao Yi smiled.

In the next five days, Zhao Yi and Edward Witten hardly went out, and did not entertain other people. They just discussed and researched in the room, and wrote a summary together, which can be understood as an argument.

They also thought about posting questions.

Edward Witten suggested publishing to a top mathematics journal. His choice was "New Advances in Mathematics", because the publication speed is relatively fast and the requirements are relatively low.

Zhao Yi thinks that it should be published in the domestic "Journal of Mathematical Physics". The last "Supersymmetric Problem" argument was published in the "Journal of Mathematical Physics". , Physicists, research on particle boundary theory, and incidentally support domestic academic journals.

The two had a dispute.

In the end, Zhao Yi respected Edward Witten's opinion, and Edward Witten also respected Zhao Yi's idea. They decided to publish in two journals respectively. The English version was placed in "New Advances in Mathematics", and the Chinese version was placed in Journal of Mathematical Physics.

This kind of 'multiple submission of one manuscript' is generally not possible, because the journal to which the manuscript is submitted owns the copyright of the published paper.

But on Zhao Yi and Edward Witten, it is not a problem at all.

Their submissions don't even need to be reviewed. They just called the editorial department of "New Advances in Mathematics" and talked about the research paper they did together. They also said that they would publish a Chinese version in other journals. The editorial department only considered It took less than a minute, and it seemed to be approved after a brief discussion. Even the copyright contract for the online version was specially customized.

"New Advances in Mathematics" also promised in the contract that it would give a special manuscript fee of [-] US dollars.

Although it is not a big deal for each person to pay [-] US dollars, if other contributors know about it, they will definitely vomit blood depressedly. It would be good if their submissions can be reviewed. Thank God for being able to publish, let alone pay for the manuscript. I am willing to set aside a part of the money myself.

The manuscripts submitted by Zhao Yi and Edward Witten can be directly submitted to two magazines, not to mention the review, and they can get a good manuscript fee.

This is the gap!

Chapter 417 I gave lectures to two Fields winners!

Writing a thesis with Edward Witten, the process is still interesting.

They often have disputes over some issues, and each dispute takes a long time to argue.

This is thinking differently.

Edward Witten often looks at problems from the basis of leisure theory. He holds a 100% supportive attitude towards the "particle boundary theory", because in the "particle boundary theory", the most basic energy unit and string are very similar.

Zhao Yi has always defined the energy unit as 'source', which is the original meaning. It is not clear what it is, and the existing science cannot verify it. It is just a definition.

Edward Witten believes that the basis of the "particle boundary theory" is the "string", and he regards the energy unit as a string, or the "three-dimensional universe projection (clone)" of the string.

Of course this would not be accepted by Zhao Yi.

Although the "energy unit" is regarded as a "projection of strings" and has no effect on the entire theoretical framework, the "particle boundary theory" is his theory, and the foundation must be firmly grasped.

If the "energy unit" is regarded as the "projection of the string", it means that the "particle boundary theory" is the extension of the three-dimensional space research of the string theory.

This basis is the focus of dispute between the two.

Every controversy ended with Zhao Yi's persistence. Edward Witten always said helplessly, "There will be a day in the future, and I will always be proven right."

Zhao Yi shook his head indifferently, "A string is a unit of multidimensional space, and the basis of the two is different." He then said sarcastically, "Unless you are willing to accept, a string is just a unit of energy, not a unit of the multidimensional universe. composition."

The latter was the reason Edward Witten compromised.

Edward Witten will never admit that the energy unit is a string, he only admits that the energy unit is a part of a string, or something that combines several strings in a characteristic form, or a projection of a string, a scene, etc., no matter what To understand in this way, the string itself will not be a unit of energy, because this conclusion will overturn the string theory.

String theory is a unified theory covering multidimensional space, and strings are the basic units that make up the multidimensional universe.

The energy unit is only the energy that makes up the three-dimensional universe, and the "dimension" is completely different. If strings are regarded as energy units, superstring theory and M theory will lose their meaning.

In addition to the most basic disputes at the bottom, the two also have disputes over vague concepts, such as the description of energy composition, or the description of sorting, and they will have different views.

Of course.

These do not affect the whole.

On the most important mathematical structure and logic, they have a unified opinion, which is the most difficult part, but it is the easiest for them.

Although there were a lot of arguments in the middle, the work efficiency of the two of them was still very high. It took only about five days to complete two papers with rigorous logical arguments.

One is a description and demonstration of the special number '2 to the Nth power' about mass, the title is "Special Numbers in Space: 2 to the Nth Power".

This paper mainly demonstrates the particularity of '2 to the Nth power'. Zhao Yi wrote the energy structure of the photon, which bypassed the '2 to the Nth power' value, and Edward Witten wrote that M Most of the arguments for the quality of theoretical multi-dimensional spaces contain '2 to the Nth power'.

In addition, it is the content of the mathematical argument.

In the content of the mathematical argument, there are many unusual coincidences in the argument that '2 to the Nth power' is linked to quality. When all the coincidences are put together, it will make people feel the unusualness of '2 to the Nth power' At the end of the paper, an inference is made, "'2 to the Nth power' is directly related to the mass of the three-dimensional universe."

The name of the second paper is "Energy Theory: A Powerful Analysis", following the conclusion of the previous paper, it came up with "there is no '2 to the Nth power' energy point in the three-dimensional universe" and "the energy point tends to form" 2 to the Nth power'" to demonstrate.

This thesis is based on the 'Particle Boundary Theory'. After completing the argument that there is no '2 to the Nth power' energy point, special prime numbers are divided.

In the paper, the prime numbers that can form '2 to the Nth power' are defined as 'two-way prime numbers'.

Later, he wrote forward and reverse bidirectional functions, and expounded the magic of combining prime numbers with '2 to the Nth power' by solving the functions and reversely arranging them.

Then there is the content of demonstrating the principle of energy ordering and strong force.

"Energy Theory: Analysis of Strong Force" does not completely analyze strong force, but explains a new explanation of strong force based on mathematical framework, mathematical logic and energy theory.

This explanation is based on mathematics, and logic can be said to be impenetrable, but there are still problems.

For example, the most fundamental ones are "There is no '2 to the Nth power' energy point in the three-dimensional universe" and "the energy points tend to form the '2 to the Nth power'".

These two contents are the premise of the argument, but it is obviously not easy to be accepted by people even if it is said to be a bit fantasy.

If these two arguments are accepted as the premise, the content of the subsequent argument is to understand the problem.

Zhao Yi and Edward Witten also had discussions on this issue, and they both felt that the argument was perfect enough, because even if they did not believe in the '2 to the Nth power' problem, other people could not produce evidence to refute it, and their argument Powerful analysis is perfect.

On the argument of '2 to the Nth power', the two presented a lot of mathematical arguments and coincidences in the process.

Of course, it cannot be used as a perfect chain of evidence, but theoretical physics is like this. The reason why a theory is a theory is that the purpose of research that cannot be verified temporarily is to explain some unexplainable problems.

Now there are many amazing mathematical coincidences in their research, which is enough to support the inference about the relationship between '2 to the Nth power' and mass.

Zhao Yi and Edward Witten worked continuously for many days, and finally finished all the research and demonstration.

Both felt tired.

On the day of completion, Zhao Yi slept for a long time, woke up and no longer wanted to think about math problems, but simply went back to the student dormitory, played games with Fan Lei and Li Renzhe, and went to the playground to play football in the afternoon to re-enjoy College life.

This kind of life lasted for three days, and on Monday, Zhao Yi went back to the staff dormitory, and was surprised to meet Edward Witten.

"you……"

"You haven't left yet?"

After Zhao Yi subconsciously finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Edward Witten would definitely tell him when he left, but he didn't have any news. Obviously Edward Witten hadn't left.

Edward Witten was also a little depressed. He felt that it was time for him to leave, but thinking about the things in the university, he decided to stay for another half a month, "I will stay until May."

"why……"

Zhao Yi really didn't understand.

Edward Witten said, "We haven't finished our research..."

"Isn't it done?"

"No."

Edward Witten explained, "I think I can find some inspiration here. In addition, the day after tomorrow, your Dean Zhou Zhengbin invited me to give an open class in the Faculty of Science, and I will go to Shuimu University next week. I and Qiu Chengwen is a good friend."

"Ok."

Zhao Yi reluctantly accepted these reasons, but still felt that Edward Witten was not telling the truth.

In fact, I don't think that the subconscious use of "The Law of Karma" has already told him the answer. Edward Witten is lying, but he is not interested in the reason.

The reason why Edward Witten didn't leave was because he was at Princeton University. He was caught off guard by his sudden departure, and later simply found someone to temporarily replace his job.

Whether it is teaching work or research work, someone has temporarily replaced them.

Although Edward Witten is still a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, he has really become a professor who only gets a salary. In addition to his own research work, including teaching and research team work, all other people are already doing it. up.

Edward Witten felt that it would be awkward to go back suddenly. He would have nothing to do, and he would feel embarrassed when facing people who helped him with his work. It would be better to pretend to be busy.

The message he sent back to the school was, "The latest results of my research with Zhao Yi will be published in "New Advances in Mathematics"!"

"Besides, I'm very busy now, and I have to continue the discussion with Zhao Yi!"

"It will be three weeks at the earliest..."

In order not to let people know that he was lying, he drove back all the administrators sent by the school, leaving only one Camilla who would not tell the truth, because she felt tired like Zhao Yi and didn't want to continue studying mathematics for a short time. He is actually more free than Zhao Yi.

Two people who were busy with research suddenly became idlers.

Zhao Yi is relatively better. He likes a relaxed environment and is surrounded by his friends and classmates. Life can be said to be leisurely and contented. Even if he goes for a run in the playground, he will feel very comfortable.

Edward Witten, on the other hand, was restrained, and would be warmly received wherever he went. After a long time, he became very depressed, so he simply didn't go out for two consecutive days.

After meeting Zhao Yi, Edward Witten wanted to stay with Zhao Yi, not to discuss mathematics or anything, but just felt that there was no place to stay, and it would be nice to relax with Zhao Yi.

But Zhao Yi doesn't want to stay with an old man, he still has his own things to do.

For example, take classes.
