IMCRC Headquarters.

The No. 1 lecture hall was full, and there was a black oppression as far as the eye could see. Among them are IMCRC researchers, physicists from other research institutions who have traveled thousands of miles here, and even scholars who have taken annual leave to visit Brookhaven National Laboratory in their personal capacity.

The presentation will start in 10 minutes, and almost everyone is looking forward to it.

At the upcoming presentation, as the chairman of the IMCRC and the initiator of the 750Gev project, Lu Zhou will summarize the data collected from the experiments a few days ago, and further elaborate on his research on the theory of hyperspace and the particle hidden in the hyperspace world.

Looking at the venue where there was a lot of discussion, Witten, who was sitting in the banquet, suddenly sighed with emotion and said.

“…… It's hard to imagine that it's only been a month. ”

Before that, he was even ready to spend a whole year on this topic, but he didn't expect that in just one month, such significant progress would occur.

If anyone is the happiest, except for Lu Zhou, it must belong to him.

After reading the full experimental data, he knew exactly what the success of this experiment meant. If this hyperspace particle really exists, his prediction in the M theory will undoubtedly be a crucial piece of evidence.

And not only that, but most importantly, this experiment will be the first exploration of matter in the high-dimensional world in the history of human physics, and it will no longer just prove the existence of high-dimensional space.

This will undoubtedly have great enlightening significance for the development of physics in the future.

In contrast, this hyperspace particle itself is "insignificant".

After a long pause, Professor Witten continued to add in an emotional tone.

“…… Brookhaven National Laboratory probably repented of his intestines at this point. ”

Hearing Professor Witten's words, Professor Frank Wilzek, who was sitting next to him, did not speak, but a subtle expression appeared on his face.

In fact, it's not the Brookhaven National Laboratory that regrets it.

A long, long time ago, about seven years ago, when Lu Zhou was an intern at CERN, he was the one who led the 750Gev project. If he hadn't given up, the first high-dimensional particle discovered in human history might have been named after him.

For example, the Wilzek particle or something.

However, it doesn't make much sense to talk about that now......

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Almost stepping on the point, Lu Zhou, dressed in formal clothes, stepped into this crowded lecture hall.

Almost as soon as he stepped into this lecture hall, the noisy sound in the hall was like a fading tide, and it was quiet in an instant.

Looking at the packed venue, Lu Zhou walked to the front of the stage and reached out to straighten the microphone.

Facing a pair of expectant or solemn eyes, he spoke slowly in a clear voice.

"Many years ago, I discovered an anomaly with 750Gev."

There are no superfluous opening lines.

Lu Zhou, who went straight to the point, continued.

"I don't think that CERN has abandoned my work, limited by the objective lag of experimental conditions, limited by the fact that the existing theories are not enough to support my conclusions, and also limited by my own level...... In short, the experiment cannot be continued, and it is best to put it on hold for the time being. ”

"But, I never thought that my conclusions were wrong."

"Not because of stubbornness, but because I did find that unnatural anomaly in my calculations. Maybe quantum fluctuations are a convenient explanation, but I'm more convinced of my calculations than others. ”

"Because of the math, you may make mistakes, but you definitely don't lie."

Glancing around the silent venue, Lu Zhou smiled and continued in a relatively pleasant tone.

"It's an honor to stand here and announce the latest research results of IMCRC!"

"After sacrificing countless hydrogen nuclei, we have finally found the ghost that has been haunting us from the mystery of the quantum world."

"The 750Gev is not all of it, but the part of it that is exposed to our view, and as I initially suspected, its true body is hidden in hyperspace that cannot be directly observed."

The voices of discussion spread throughout the lecture hall.

Almost more than half, especially academics from other research institutes, had a surprised look on their faces. Although they had already read the experimental data, most of them did not understand why Lu Zhou had drawn such decisive conclusions.

At least in the eyes of the vast majority of them, there is no direct correlation between the two.

Noticing the change in the expressions on their faces, the expressions on Lu Zhou's faces did not change at all, and he continued in a relaxed tone.

"Before I start my presentation, I want to tell a story."

"How can a paper man living in a two-dimensional world observe a sphere moving in three-dimensional space?"

"In a normal sense, we don't think it's possible."

"There is no doubt that two-dimensional beings must have an incomplete understanding of the three-dimensional world. Unless we are fortunate enough to be able to see the projection of a beam of light from the three-dimensional world, we can barely see it in the two-dimensional world. However, in the absence of this light, we not only lack the means of observation, but also lack the understanding of the high-dimensional world. All we can see is what they want us to see...... Or to put it another way, the moment the sphere lands on the paper. ”

"At that moment, we could see an extremely tiny 'tangent point' at the point where the sphere came into contact with the plane. And when the sphere is smooth enough, the area of this tangent point is even negligible, so that we feel that there may be something there, but we can't feel its presence no matter how much we fumble around. ”

"This is the limitation of two-dimensional creatures," looking at the scholars in the audience, Lu Zhou's voice gradually became serious, and he continued, "They will never know what an incomparably small point they observe in their own world corresponds to in the three-dimensional world. Maybe it's a giant planet, maybe it's just a tiny hydrogen nucleus. ”

"If you think about it, isn't it scary? Perhaps the elementary particles we are familiar with are actually something even larger and stranger than we think in the higher dimensional worlds. And everything around us, if it is infinitely divided, will it eventually be an infinite number of such infinitesimal origins? ”

Looking at the pensive faces in the front row of the lecture hall, Lu Zhou waited quietly for a while, giving the scholars present half a minute to think.

After a moment's pause, he smiled and continued.

"Of course, studying the nature of the universe as we see it is not the focus of this presentation."

With that, Lu Zhou turned to face the whiteboard, scribbled a solid circle on it, and then slid down a few lines as an abstract light source, projecting onto a hand-drawn plane.

"Suppose a situation if the light source hitting the paper is not vertical, but emitted from a point. Then the sphere moving between the light source and the plane is no longer a hidden existence for the creatures of the two-dimensional world. At least by studying the size of the projection, they were able to calculate the distance of the sphere from themselves in a three-dimensional coordinate system, and even the physical properties of its movement based on its trajectory and velocity, even though they might not have been able to see it with their own eyes. ”

"And what we did at the Lunar Hadron Collider is exactly something similar!"

The incredible voices from the audience gradually spread.

Many of them had a hint of surprise written on their faces that was even stronger than before.

In response to the look of surprise written on his face, Lu Zhou continued.

"We have collected enough data through multiple sets of experiments in the 1250Tev, 1260Tev, and 1300Tev energy regions."

"In a mathematical sense, no matter what its dimensions are, even if we can't understand them in an intuitive sense, we can peel them back in an abstract sense."

"As I said at the beginning, math doesn't lie."

After that, Lu Zhou faced the whiteboard again and wrote a Chinese character on it-

【Boat】

That's his name.

And a big abbreviated letter -

【Z】

"Boat particle, that's what I named it."

Looking back at the silent report hall, seeing that no one objected as expected, Lu Zhou smiled and continued in a clear voice.

"For ease of writing, I write it down as 'Z'."

"Now, I'll use the data you have to prove its existence."

"I'll write in as much detail as possible, but even then, I can't guarantee that everyone will be able to read it."

"So, remember to read carefully."
