Chapter 1133: Break up meeting

"This is not a discussion at all! I have never spoken from beginning to end!"
"unacceptable!"
"Did anyone persuade him?"
"It's useless, he can't hear it. I've stressed it many times. I have already set up a project for the 750Gev feature peak and studied it for a whole year ... at least half a year! But what have we got from it? God, now he Actually want to go this way again! "
"At least nothing is wrong, he is a paranoid lunatic in science ..."
The meeting clearly broke up.
A group of people were expressionless, even walking out of the conference room in anger, and talking without any concealment of volume as they walked.
He noticed the indignant expression on the face of Professor Whittle, a member of the American Council of IMCRC and director of the Brookhaven Society, waiting for Professor Frank Werzek, who was next to the elevator, to step forward and stop him.
"What happened inside? Didn't the meeting just start for an hour? Why did it end so soon?"
"Meeting? Does he even take this board for a moment? It doesn't deserve to be called a meeting!"
With his fist and roaring loudly, Professor Whittle said angrily, "I'm going back to New York and let those in the Brookhaven Institute who have fantasies about the Chinese people take a good look at what the Chinese people are doing. At this sacred conference in physics, show their poor authority that finally grew up a little bit! "
Looking at Professor Whittle who was furious, Frank Werzek stood still in a dumbfounded position.
Intuition tells him that something must have happened an hour ago, or he would never be so angry with Professor Whittle ... although the impression is that this guy is not a good-natured gentleman.
But what happened at the meeting, he is now more and more confused ...
Was the council suspended?
Isn't it?
...
According to Murphy's Theorem, the more people worry about something, the more often things will happen.
An old friend, Professor Frank Werzek, finally understood the cause of the incident. And it was precisely because of hearing these regrettable things that his mood fell to the bottom.
In his impression, Lu Zhou was not the kind of stubborn and arbitrary authoritarian scholar, and he was even more willing to believe that Professor Whittle and his representatives had misunderstood his meaning.
However, the truth is not to lie.
What exactly made him look like this?
Unable to understand, Frank Werzek found Witten and called him out of the hotel under the name of drinking coffee.
In a chat, he talked about the council meeting that had just ended and sighed.
"The situation is bad."
It seemed that he would bring the topic to IMCRC. Wei Teng's face did not show much unexpected expression, but raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh?"
Frank Werzek took a sip of coffee and repeated the previous conversation with Professor Whittle at noon to Witten, shaking his head pessimistically.
"My worst worry still happened. From the beginning IMCRC showed no cooperative attitude. I acknowledge that his academic prestige to complete the unified theory of strong electricity may have surpassed most people ... even me, but this is not It should be a reason for his mess. "
After listening to Frank Werzek's words, Witten thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe he really found something at 750Gev that we didn't find."
"It's impossible, my old friend, you know better than anyone how difficult it is, why do you say such a thing?" Werzek said, shaking his head. At first I believed that he could do it, and even tried to help him get the experimental permission of the LHC. I didn't part ways with him until I found out that it was useless. I know better than anyone else This road is impossible! "
Witten asked: "Then why do you think he insisted on doing this?"
Frank Werzek: "I am so embarrassed by failure? Over-expanded self-confidence? Or stubborn? Or eager to show my authority in physics? No matter what the reason is, doing research with this mindset Is not desirable. "
Witten smiled and shook his head.
"It's like this, and it looks like you don't understand him at all."
If it is someone else, this guess is valid.
But for a scholar who craves truth from the heart, this kind of thinking is too superficial.
He has been studying abroad for many years, and Witten has met many people.
Among them are those who are fame and fortune, and those who are indifferent to fame and fortune, and Lu Zhou is undoubtedly the most special among them ... and it is also most surprising to Wit.
He is not completely indifferent to fame and fortune, he will be angry when framed by others, and will be happy to receive bonuses and honors, but whether it is honors or money, it is not what he is really chasing. What really drove him forward seemed only to be curious about nature and the mystery in the universe.
This is purely valuable, and often only appears on great people.
I dare not say the entire physics community, but only the words of scholars I have met ...
Perhaps he is the purest of them.
"Oh?" Frank Werzek raised his eyebrows and said slightly dissatisfied. "Witteng, I know you have a good relationship with him, but I hope you can recognize the reality in such a matter of right and wrong. Especially It's a friend's stand. If you can, you better advise him instead of watching him go further and further down the wrong path. "
"What is wrong?"
The spoon stirred the coffee ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Witten smiled and continued slowly.
"And what is right?"
"We know too little about this universe, even less than one percent of what we see and understand and explain. In the strict sense, there is nothing right or wrong in physics. There is only a difference between complete and incomplete concepts. Especially after the birth of quantum mechanics, we have realized this more deeply— "
Frank Werzek: "This is sophistry, why do we waste time in a direction that proves to be a failure? We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars! And those things that simply cannot be measured by price, now we It will take another whole year to go through this inaccessible path again! "
"Because some people think it works," Witten said calmly, looking at Werzek, "Maybe because he found something new, maybe because he didn't understand him correctly. Essays, even just because of the intuition of a flash of light ... I think that's enough to justify it. "
"The exploration of the standard model was originally a haystack, and physics is much more than the standard model. No matter which direction we go, we will eventually face the same problem ... why not believe him once? At least he never let us down Too. "
Werzek: "..."
Does this mean that everyone listens to God's fate?
This is too optimistic.
"I know what you're worried about," Witten said with a smile at the non-speaking Werzek. "Rest assured that if nothing happens in the end, I will definitely try to convince him to be aware of his problems in time ... If I can. "
"As of now, let's trust his judgment for the time being."
