Chapter 1150: Our Physics Is Much More Than the Standard Model
At the same time as the words fell, Lu Zhou had already turned to face the whiteboard behind him, and the marker pen he held in his hand also moved.
As the rustling of brushstrokes wandered across the whiteboard, lines of calculations flowed out along the sharpened strokes, as if with a mysterious magic, sticking to everyone's eyes.
ãV1=ΨΨ+ã
ãMĪ2=īŧ0|ΨΨ|0īŧ/FĪ2ã
ãâĻâĻã
The tip of the pen moved back by half an inch, looking at the three or five lines of arithmetic that fell on the whiteboard, a smile gradually appeared in Lu Zhou's eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad.
It feels very good, as if one foot has stepped into a mysterious void, infinitely close to the edge of truth.
Although it is suspected of boasting to say this, this is indeed his truest feeling at this moment.
It took ten seconds to reminisce about this feeling, and Lu Zhou, who took a deep breath, once again wrote the color of concentration in his gaze. And the pen that he pinched on his fingertips also moved again with his mind that seemed to be connected to the universe......
The real difficulty of extracting this elementary particle hidden in hyperspace from the snail shell of the high-dimensional world lies in the abstraction of the high-dimensional space.
However, in physics, any operation that involves such problems becomes quite complex.
At the same time, the related calculations also involve a very complex normative level problem, which requires a bunch of things on the order of 10^38 Gev to make up a result of the order of 10^2 to 10^3 Gev.
Whether it is a logical operation or a numerical operation, this problem is quite a test of a physicist's mathematical skills.
Fortunately, Lu Zhou was originally a mathematician.
And the "Great Unified Theory of Mathematics" also brought him great help in this issue. It can even be said that the difficulty of this problem has been directly reduced by one dimension.
Many abstract things simply cannot be represented by concrete graphics, but if they are described in an intuitive mathematical form, whether it is a calculation or a board book, everything will be much simpler.
Of course, this may be convenient for Lu Zhou, but for the vast majority of physicists who are not engaged in mathematical research, especially those who do not understand the mathematical tool of "Mathematical Unified Theory", which has just come out, these steps may not seem so intuitive......
Even, some strong people are difficult.
Sitting next to Professor Witten, Professor Frank Wilzek's gaze sunk on the whiteboard was completely dull.
Although he is not ignorant, to be honest, mathematics has never been his strong point, and there are very few students in his class who can do this part of the work well.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to cooperate with Lu Zhou, who was just an intern, to study the 750Gev project.
I endured it for a while and didn't speak.
Finally, as if he couldn't hold it anymore, he opened his mouth and said to Witten, who was sitting next to him.
"What is he writing?"
Witten, who didn't answer his old friend's question and stared at the whiteboard, also had a dignified color in his eyes.
Although he had achieved Fields Medal-level achievements in the fields of topology and partial differentials compared to others, it was slightly easier for him to accept these theories, but this so-called ease was only relative.
Maybe at a younger age, things get a little better. But now, just keeping up with the rhythm of the land boat had already taken up almost all of his concentration, and even if he wanted to answer Professor Frank Wilzek's confusion, he had no time to spare.
In the blink of an eye, a whiteboard was full.
Taking advantage of the gap when the staff dragged a new whiteboard from the side, Witten finally took time to answer the confusion in the heart of the old friend next to him.
ââĻâĻ To put it simply, he used an abstract mathematical method to build an extra-dimensional model similar to ADD, which has a dimension of n and contains some strange properties...... Let's call it the 'Land Boat Mechanism.'" Using experimental data from the High Energy Collider, he tested the model with extra dimensions, and then answered the question of why the 750Gev signal was so weird, and why the characteristic peak appeared frequently but the confidence level was always insufficient. â
The explanation was so misty that Frank Wilzek said with a numb scalp.
"How do I have to make sense of this?"
Witten showed a helpless expression on his face, and said in an uncertain tone: "It may be necessary to use the reference books of algebraic geometry and the treatise on the principles of the great unity of mathematics...... You may be able to understand it, but I suggest you give up, it's definitely too late now. â
ââĻâĻ God, when did math start to become like this? â
Looking at Frank Verzek, who was almost going crazy, Witten said with a sigh.
"If you're referring to algebraic geometry, I'm afraid it's been like that since the middle of the last century."
A brand new whiteboard was dragged onto the stage.
After spending about half a minute sorting out the next thoughts, Lu Zhou picked up the pen and continued to write on it.
Like a chanting incantation, the lines of obscure calculations were printed on the whiteboard and in the eyes of the audience in the lecture hall, as if they had been petrified, and the audience was silent.
At this moment, Lu Zhou on the stage also completely entered a state of selflessness, completely immersed in his own world, as if he was one with nature, and even the rhythm of breathing was synchronized with the beat of the universe.
In the huge lecture hall, except for the rustling of brushstrokes, not the slightest sound can be heard.
In this way, the minutes and seconds passed.
The audience also watched quietly.
In fact, although these steps may be a little too difficult for most people to understand, there are still some people who can feel the subtlety.
From difficult learning to sudden enlightenment.
Suddenly, Edward Witten's pupils contracted slightly, and then a flash of excitement flashed.
That light was like a spark that ignited the forest, burning in a pair of pupils of different colors. As the argument draws to a close, more and more people finally begin to grasp the mystery written on the whiteboard.
Even if it seems to be a little bit understood, it is not understood in it.
But it's a lot better than it was at the beginning.
Finally, the pen that had reached the last line was frozen on the whiteboard.
ãZ=âĻâĻã
Putting the marker back in his hand, Lu Zhou turned to face the silent lecture hall and spoke in a clear and steady voice.
"I may have forgotten to mention that the argument for the existence of the Z-particle is already over in the twenty-seventh line from the bottom. Actually, I was surprised to write this far, because the next 27 lines, especially about the values of Z-particles, actually I plan to spend two weeks or a month slowly pondering them. â
glanced sideways at the equation on the whiteboard, turned to look at Lu Zhou in the venue, and suddenly smiled.
That smile was like a fresh wind, blowing away the fog and the dark clouds that pressed on everyone's hearts, and all the solemnity seemed to become clear at this moment.
Perhaps, a happy mood can really make a problem easier, just as a good appearance can make a happy mood.
After a pause, he continued.
"By dividing the matter into 10^-10 meters, we were able to get atoms. When we first named the word, we gave it the meaning of the elementary particles that make up matter. In fact, however, as physics continues to advance, it soon becomes clear that it can be further subdivided. â
"Soon we got electrons, neutrons, protons, followed by quarks, leptons, Higgs particles, and so on."
"Imagine what matter in our cognition would be if it were infinitely divided?"
"I'm afraid no one can answer this question right away, we can prove the existence of n-dimensional space with the help of image-only models like ADD, and M theory predicts n=11, but we don't know anything about what is in this space. All we can know is that we live in a three-dimensional world, and the high-dimensional 'strings' are curly for us. â
"Like the 'little ball' that landed on the paper I mentioned at the beginning, the paper man would never have understood what that infinitesimal black dot was if he had just relied on his eyes. Perhaps the space above their heads is filled with such small balls, and it is these black dots that fall on the paper that make up them, and even the world they see. â
"It's the same with three-dimensional space."
"It's like the light we see, the air we breathe, the water in our cups...... Divide them infinitely, and what we can see in the end may be such infinitely small black spots. â
"Including the Z-particle, I don't even dare to say that what I see at the moment is the whole picture of it, maybe what I have revealed is only its projection in the X-1 dimension, and it actually has a much larger secret hidden behind hyperspace."
"Perhaps, this is the limitation of three-dimensional biology."
"Perhaps only when our civilization is advanced enough, when our physics can fully resolve the full dimensions of the universe, when we can walk upright on the 'strings' of the eleventh dimension...... Only then will we be able to see the ball that has broken into our world in its entirety, as well as the whole picture of this universe. â
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face again.
"As the last easter egg of this report meeting, here I also follow the example of other predecessors and make a bold conjecture."
"Maybe one day in the future, when our civilization is advanced enough, when the solar system can no longer accommodate our flesh and ambitions."
"Using the nature of hyperspace to achieve interstellar voyages with light years as a distance may be the best choice for us to move across star systems!"
There was no response.
Obviously, everyone is still soaking up the shock of the previous moment.
Feeling a little disappointed that he didn't receive applause, Lu Zhou was about to put the marker back on the stage, then bowed and thanked and left here.
However, at this moment, as if he remembered something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the whiteboard.
ââĻâĻ I almost forgot something important. â
Smiling embarrassedly, Lu Zhou stretched out his hand on the last line of the whiteboard and filled in the number that haunted countless people.
[Z=0~1.25Tev, if and only if n=3, Z=750Gev.] ã
"750Gev is the energy it expands in low-dimensional space, and unsurprisingly 1.25Tev is the upper bound of its theoretical mass, and 0 is its resting mass in three-dimensional space when it constitutes an atom."
"Take your time and verify! Twenty-seven steps prior to line 27 have proven its existence, and data from the Lunar Hadron Collider supports this conclusion. â
"As for the theoretical estimation of the mass of the Z particle after the twenty-seventh line, one day we will build more advanced experimental equipment than the Lunar Hadron Collider, and one day you will be able to prove me right."
Throwing the marker on the tray of the whiteboard, and glancing around the silent venue, Lu Zhou propped his hands on the lectern and continued.
"Anyway, as you can see, this particle is much heavier than we thought."
"It's so much more than the 750Gev we can see."
"And our physics is much more than the Standard Model that we are familiar with."
"Thank you."
After speaking, he bowed slightly, turned around and walked to the audience.
And almost as soon as he turned around, the applause that sounded like a torrential rain fell behind him, almost blowing up the entire lecture hall......
