From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

"What a distant yet familiar gerund."

With a sigh of emotion, he stepped away from the spot and walked towards the teaching building.

Just to experience the classroom of Paris Ecole Normale Supérieure.

After entering the teaching building, each classroom is taught by a highly respected professor.

As a teacher training college, the teachers of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris are basically top-notch. Here, only the most powerful teachers can teach students, so there are only seven full-time teachers in their mathematics department.

This is not like the dozens or even nearly a hundred teachers Lin Xiao had when he was in Peking University.

Of course, this also depends on the number of students.

There are fewer students in the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, so there are not so many teachers needed. It is only necessary to ensure the quality of the teachers.

So this is also a characteristic of elite education, which can invest more resources in fewer people, and finally lead to these elites being able to better promote social development.

But obviously, the class solidification brought about by elite education will also bury hidden dangers for the society, and for the socialist Huaguo, such education is not advisable.

At least, Huaguo's mass education better guarantees everyone's right to education, which is also in line with the idea of ​​communism.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao sighed with emotion, and then stopped thinking about it.

After passing two classes where mathematics was being taught, Lin Xiao listened to him, and all the lessons were taught what he knew.

So he didn't continue to listen, nor did he go in to attend the class.

After a few more steps, he finally found a class that interested him, in which high-energy physics was being taught.

He walked in quietly, came to the last row and sat down, trying not to disturb other students.

But here he found another acquaintance, that is Henry Bernard.

Unexpectedly, he was also attending classes here. Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel curious. Didn't this guy spend a good time in the laboratory and come here to attend basic classes?

Of course, Henry didn't notice him, and he didn't bother Henry. He sat quietly in his seat and listened to the professor's lecture on the stage.

The professor's name is Jericho Svensey, and he seems to be paying attention to his own image. He is dressed in formal attire, including his hair and beard. He looks different from some other teachers who teach physics.

When Swen Sai saw Lin Xiao coming in, he also paused for a moment, but after recognizing Lin Xiao, he smiled at him, and then continued his lecture.

Being able to attract a young master in mathematics in his own classroom is obviously a recognition for him as a teacher.

"Okay, kids, on to our next chapter, the W boson."

"W boson, Weak-Bosons, everyone, what can weak think of in our high-energy physics?"

Soon some students raised their hands: "Weak interaction force!"

"That's right, one point for Mr. Dimi."

Svensy smiled slightly, and the other students showed annoyed expressions on their faces. They didn't answer such a simple answer.

"Don't worry everyone, we still have questions, who can tell me, what is the function of W boson?"

Now more people raised their hands. They have already learned these questions before entering the school, not to mention that they have basically previewed them before taking this class. Now they have the opportunity to get class points. , of course you have to grab it.

But obviously, there can only be one person who can grab this opportunity. Soon, Swen Sai pointed to a girl and said with a smile: "Ms. Mary, you can answer."

Marie is a relatively popular female name in France, but the outstanding face of this lady Mary is not very popular. Of course, she also gave her own answer: "W boson and Z boson, It is used as an intermediate boson to transmit the weak force."

"Okay, one point for Ms. Mary."

Svensey nodded, then drew a circle on the blackboard, wrote a 'W' in the middle, indicating that this is the W boson, and then he said: "The W boson transmits the weak force, and before we learned However, the electromagnetic force is propagated by photons, so there is a difference."

"The W boson has mass, but the photon has no mass. In addition, the gluon that transmits the strong interaction force has no mass."

"This has surprised the physics community. There is actually a mass transformation in the transmission process of the weak interaction force."

"Of course, these particularities require us to continue to study, maybe in the future, it will be explained by you present."

"Then, let's continue to explore more properties of the W boson."

Chapter 179 I am not as good at physics as in mathematics

Listening to Professor Swen Sai's class, Lin Xiao gradually sank into it.

He knows all these basic knowledge. He has read a lot of physics books, and he knows a lot about high-energy physics, which sounds very interesting.

After all, it sounds pretty cool to accelerate extremely tiny particles through a long pipeline to a speed of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers per second, and then let them collide with each other.

However, Professor Swen Sai's class was very lively and interesting, and there were some other cutting-edge viewpoints, so Lin Xiao was fascinated by it.

This is also worthy of being the teacher of the Paris Ecole Normale Supérieure.

Of course, the depth and difficulty of it also made some students here feel difficult.

After all, high-energy physics requires not only images, but also various mathematical tools.

Therefore, its requirements for mathematics are still very high. The students present looked at the blackboard full of images and mathematical formulas, and those with strong abilities could understand them.

Of course, for Lin Xiao, a mathematician, these are not difficult.

In this way, time passed quietly, and a class was finished.

Seeing that the class was over, Lin Xiao got up.

Well, in this way, I didn't lie to my father.

He really taught a lesson.

Then, when he was about to say hello to Henry, he found that he went up and found Svensey.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise his brows. It seems that Svensey is Henry's tutor, which can explain why Henry came to this class.

Then he smiled slightly and walked up, while Henry held a few pieces of paper and asked Svensey a question.

"...Professor, I encountered a little problem in my research. I factorized the unpolarized fully differential Drell-yan section, but I still can't figure out why the coefficients of A5-A7 always jump around here. , I can't analyze at what stage they are zero, they are too naughty."

Svensey took the few pieces of paper from him and said at the same time, "Is there any problem with your analysis of the data? Are there any mistakes in the figures?"

Henry spread his hands helplessly: "I checked it three times, and I can confirm that there is no problem, so I really have no choice but to ask you for advice."

Svensey shook his head, "So there is something wrong with your math?"

Then he watched Henry's process.

Lin Xiao, who had been watching from behind, saw that the two were no longer talking, so he reached out and patted Henry.

Henry turned his head and was taken aback when he saw Lin Xiao.

"Lin? Why are you here!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Of course I came to attend the class."

Henry was taken aback for another moment, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the great Professor Svensey has also attracted our mathematical genius."

Svensey next to him said abruptly, "Don't say that everywhere outside."

"Ah, of course not." Henry waved his hand, "I will only say that in front of you."

Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing, this guy just said grandly, 'Professor, I want to lick you'.

"Okay, Lin, let's not bother the professor, let's go to the side and talk."

At this time, Henry pulled Lin Xiao up again and came to the side.

"You're not really interested in our high-energy physics, are you?" Henry asked.

"of course."

Lin Xiao spread his hands: "As long as there is mathematics, I will be interested."

"All right……"

Henry said helplessly: "Sometimes I really envy your mathematical talent, if my mathematics can be half as good as yours, no, one-third, one-fourth, just one-fourth, how can I be rejected by the paper?" stumped."

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "A quarter of my words are probably to prove the twin prime number conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, plus find out the distribution law of Mersenne prime numbers, and prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. a quarter of the sum of the

Henry opened his mouth, this...

Is it equivalent to saying that a quarter of Lin Xiao's gold content is equivalent to a world-class math problem?

He simply slumped on the back of the chair, it's not as good as it is, let's put it badly.

"Okay, one-tenth."

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Okay, cheer up, at least Einstein's mathematics is not particularly good, maybe you are the next Einstein?"

Henry rolled his eyes, "Then you have to demonstrate based on the theory of relativity first, what is the difference in mathematics between mine and yours, and between Einstein and yours?"

"Well, we can discuss this point from the perspective of general relativity and quantum mechanics."

Henry sat up, stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, and said, "Then please start your performance."

However, Svensey obviously didn't intend to give them a chance to continue talking, and shouted at Henry: "Henry, come here."

When the professor called, Henry got up immediately and walked over with an eager look.

"Here, you have to express the ratio of the helicity section to the unpolarized section in terms of dimensionless angle coefficients, and then calculate it later, understand? Then you discuss the O(α^2s) order."

Hearing the professor's words, Henry's eyes lit up after a short thought, "Yes! I understand!"

After all, he is a Ph.D. from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, so Henry's ability is of course very good.

Svensey nodded, then glanced at Lin Xiao, and said with a smile: "If you have any math problems, you can discuss with Lin, sometimes it may be more convenient and faster than asking me."

Lin Xiao quickly waved his hand: "Professor Swen Sai, I'm just better at math, but I'm still not as good at math in physics, and I don't have that much knowledge reserve."

Svensey said with a smile: "Basic knowledge is just a few books, but without mathematics, it will not work."

"In the era of classical mechanics, we summarize mathematical formulas through visible laws of reality, such as Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment, and those astronomers."

"Nowadays, in the era of quantum mechanics, we can only derive the mathematical formula first, and then discover its physical meaning through unremitting efforts. You can imagine that after Schrödinger created the Schrödinger equation, he didn't even know it. Does it have any physical meaning? It was not until Born proposed the theory of probability that people got a definite answer, and this accidentally obtained equation is also the basic equation in quantum mechanics.”

"You are a well-known genius in mathematics. Proving the twin prime number conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture requires excellent inspiration. For a scholar, it is enough to catch this kind of inspiration once in a lifetime, but you Twice in just one year—oh, let's count your success in materials chemistry."

Svensey shook his head slightly, and said with emotion: "So, in the eyes of many of us, you already have the title of 'Inspiration Hunter'. Many friends are even looking forward to the day when you enter the physics world. , has been lacking a genius-like inspiration for a long time."

Lin Xiao was taken aback: "This...is there such a thing?"

Brother hasn't been in the physics world yet, but there are already legends about him in the physics world?

Swen Sai said with a smile: "Don't underestimate yourself, just believe in yourself."

"Besides, in the past, there were many mathematicians who later entered the research field of physics, such as Professor Qiu Chengtong, don't you want to try?"

"In addition, I also read your previous article on the relationship between energy storage function and medium propagation speed. Doesn't this prove that you are still interested in physics?"

At this time, Henry next to him said, "Yes, Lin told me before that he is indeed interested in physics."

Svensey's eyes lit up: "Really? Lin, do you want to try it? I'm going to test you on a question. If you solve it, you can join my project in the future. How about it?"

Lin Xiao thought for a while, then nodded: "If you don't mind, of course I would."

Anyway, there is nothing to do recently, so why not experience high-energy physics, which he has been interested in for a long time.

Svensey smiled slightly, then found a piece of paper from the side, and wrote a question on it.

[Prove from a mathematical point of view that photons transmit electromagnetic force and its process. 】

Seeing this question, both Henry and Lin Xiao fell into thinking.

It is obviously difficult to demonstrate this problem from a mathematical perspective, unless you have read other people's related research, in addition to this, you also need a certain amount of basic knowledge.

Seeing that both of them were thinking about it, Svensey smiled and said, "You can have a week to think about this question. During this week, you can consult related books, such as quantum field theory, electrodynamics, etc. Wait, you may find some answers in these books, but I hope to see your own innovative ideas."

"One week?" Henry couldn't help but said, "Do you still have your own innovative ideas? Teacher, isn't this time too short?"

But at this moment, Lin Xiao who was beside him suddenly said, "Can I use a pen?"

Henry's eyes widened: "No! You can't..."

There was also a little surprise in Swen Sai's eyes, and then he smiled and handed over the pen in his hand.

Lin Xiao took the pen from Swen Sai and continued to write on the paper.

"Let's start with the equation of motion of the electromagnetic field in electrodynamics..."

【∫fdv=∮T·dS－dG/dt】

"Now let's discuss the transfer under the electrostatic force. At this time, dG/dt is equal to 0..."

As Lin Xiao wrote down slowly, a series of complicated formulas were born in his hands.
