The paper that Lu Zhou habitually published on Arxiv can be described as a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

Professor Ohanian's shock can only be regarded as a microcosm of the chaos that is taking place in the physics community at this moment.

Just as he hurriedly booked his plane tickets and hotel for tomorrow, and wrote a leave of absence application to prepare for a flight to Shanghai, almost the entire physics community was boiling over this amazing paper.

"It's so surprising that I don't know how to describe the amazement I feel at the moment!"

"As for the paper itself, I think it's too early to give a yes or no answer, I think...... At least wait until Professor Lu's presentation is over, and then give an evaluation...... It's also a sign of respect for him. ”

Professor Wilzek, who has always been keen to bet and has never been shy about commenting on his peers, has chosen to remain silent quite conservatively.

Maybe it's because he lost too badly to Lu Zhou at the beginning, or maybe it's because he missed the second Nobel Prize in his life, and the uncertainty in this makes him unclear whether he should express his opinion.

As a leading figure in today's theoretical physics field, Professor Edward Witten, who has won the Fields Medal, also expressed his surprise on his personal blog after seeing the paper.

And almost identically with Professor Wilzek, who did not make a judgment on the correctness of this paper...... Even if many of his peers would like him to do so.

"Z particles moving from higher to lower dimensions open up channels between dimensions? Straightened the curly space-time? It sounds like science fiction...... In other words, can we find a true straight path in the curly universe through this method? ”

"While I'm not sure he's right yet, I hope he's right."

Although the paper put out by Lu Zhou is only a preprint, it is now a habit for everyone in the physics community to know this big guy.

If he doesn't make it foolproof, he will never open his mouth casually.

And once he publicly expressed any opinion, even if it was just a preprint posted on the Internet, it would only be after countless calculations and calculations, and only when he was absolutely sure of the conclusion would the preprint be released.

In addition to the two veterans of contemporary theoretical physics, Duncan Haldane, a professor at Princeton University and winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics, also gave his opinion on the paper.

This big guy is a little different from the first two.

As a great man who discovered topological phase transitions and topological phase matter theoretically, he is one of the few physicists today who can take mathematical research to the extreme.

Especially for topology and algebraic geometry.

Therefore, for the paper published by Lu Zhou entitled "The Effect of Z Particle Transition Effect on the Curvature of Time and Space", he also quite conformed to his own personality and gave an evaluation from a mathematical point of view.

“…… The mathematical argumentation part of the paper was difficult, and frankly, even for me. ”

"If you don't know anything about algebra and the unified theory of geometry, and you have a barrier to spatial imagination, I advise you to give up reading it for now, because it will burn all your brain cells, and it may not lead to much later."

This sentence is very tactful, but the meaning is clear.

If you are not very proficient in mathematics, it is better not to consider reading this paper.

However, having said that, it is clear that not everyone can recognize the reality.

Just when almost the entire theoretical physics community was losing their hair frantically for this paper, many big bulls in the mathematical community also cast their curious eyes on them.

After all, it is Professor Lu's paper.

After winning the Fields Medal and the Gauss Prize, this big man completed the unified theory of algebraic geometry that shocked the world, and since then he has faded out of the field of vision of the mathematical community, and has not published new research results for a while.

Although the paper published this time is not a mathematical achievement, the mathematical theories it uses are the most cutting-edge research in the field of mathematics today.

In fact, in addition to the most essential physics part, the mathematical argumentation part of this paper, especially the application of differential manifolds and the explanation of the unified theory of algebraic geometry, can be said to be a textbook classic!

It is precisely for this reason that many mathematicians have also taken this paper and studied it.

In this way, the influence of this paper quickly spread from the physics community to the entire university circle, and then radiated to the public's field of vision along the university circle.

Although most people don't know what the Z-particle is, and what impact its high-dimensional form and low-dimensional expansion have on human beings, most people are indifferent, but there is one thing that has attracted everyone's attention.

This thing has the potential to be the key to warp sailing!

This easy-to-understand explanation not only made everyone understand what Z particles were in an instant, but also shocked everyone.

Twitter.

The topic of Z particles was directly topped by the top of the search rankings.

This term, which was originally only understood by professionals in the field of high-energy physics, now almost anyone who can access the Internet understands what this thing is.

【Warp sailing? Does this mean that it will take less than a day to go to the moon in the future? 】

【God...... It's horrible! 】

[It was a bad decision to join the Chinese IMCRC program, now physicists all over the world are working for them, and soon they will master the mystery of warp speed and throw us off completely!] Just like they have already done with the moon landing project! 】

[This must be the darkest moment in human history...... Remember the IMCRC study some time ago? That Void Theory! Maybe the passage they opened wasn't to go to some other planet at all, but to hell......]

[Wait, you haven't suspected it, could this be fake news?] That guy named Lu Zhou just sent a paper, and you're afraid of becoming like this! Maybe he's just joking us. 】

[The question is, have you ever seen him joking?] 】

This sentence almost put an end to all doubts.

Yes.

The guy wasn't the slightest bit entertaining in science, and barely joked.

And not once!

If it were other physicists, they might have to argue about whether a physics institute was short of funds again, and the Nobel Prize boss came out to cheat money.

But if it's Professor Lu......

It seems that such a possibility does not exist at all.

Not only that, but just a theoretical study that may become the key to warp sailing, in the eyes of many people, is no different from a real warp engine.

After all, the name Lu Zhou is too dazzling.

Not only is there a hot topic on the Internet, but this matter has quickly attracted the attention of major media around the world.

And just three days after the paper was uploaded, the news made the headlines of the Washington Post.

The headline is unusually long.

It's the same as the shock and apprehension in people's hearts.

[Is it the key to interstellar? Or a passage to hell? The latest discoveries by world-renowned scholars may change our future......]
