Chapter 1148: Experimental data is out!

United Kingdom.
A home in the suburbs of Edinburgh.
An old man is sitting at a wooden table by the window, facing a slightly old computer, typing on the keyboard with his index finger letter by letter, and intently editing an email.
At the corner of the table was a newspaper. The date on the page was two weeks ago.
On the unfolded side, the printed news is exactly the matter that Brookhaven National Laboratory, which caused a lot of debate some time ago, announced the temporary withdrawal from IMCRC.
The investment of tens of billions of dollars, more than dozens of countries participated in scientific research projects, and as a result, such a big trouble broke out just after the start. This matter is not only aroused in the physics world, but it has also caused a lot of trouble outside the physics world. topic of.
With complex mood, the old man wrote in the email.
[... Physics should have been an enlightened discipline, and it is precisely because of respect for all points of view that we can achieve today's prosperity. I cannot temporarily evaluate whether Lu Zhou's choice is correct, but even if he is wrong, this is only academically immature and should not be responded in this irrational way. 】
[... To sum up, withdrawing from the experiment at this time is definitely not a rational choice. It will be a huge injury for the Brookhaven National Laboratory and the long-standing unity of the physics community ... I don't know if there are political considerations behind this, but no matter what For this purpose, it should not bet on the trust we have built over a hundred years. 】
[Hope you can reconsider this matter, maybe it's too late. 】
[Peter Higgs]
Peter Higgs.
Emeritus Professor of the University of Edinburgh, winner of the 13th Nobel Prize in Physics, and the reason for the award is the well-known Higgs particle.
For this name, let alone the vast majority of physicists, I am afraid that even people who do not know much about physics will know a little.
After knocking down the name of the section, the old man frowned slightly, and looked up at the dark clouds that might fall at any time.
Since retiring, only the body's response to the weather has become more and more sensitive, and everything else has become more ate. Especially the concept of time, even if he gets a glance at the calendar every morning, he still forgets what day it is and what he wants to do.
It's like the newspaper next to him.
When he saw it, the whole thing was almost two weeks away.
And when he hurriedly contacted his friends to inquire and searched for relevant information on the Internet, he finally understood the whole story, and his mood was as heavy as the bad weather outside the window.
Immediately after, he did the only thing he hadn't done tomorrow until his retirement.
That is, write to his old friend, Professor Brovich, who holds an important position at the Brookhaven Institute of Humanities.
Regardless of whether the characteristic peak of 750Gev is worth a full year of deep excavation, whether or not Lu Zhou, the chairman of the board, has initiated the project with suspicion of having an overhead council, at least the academic itself should not presume a position.
It reminded him of sixty years ago.
He remembered writing a short paper at that time, which was published in CERN's journal Physics Communications.
After the manuscript was written, he later wrote a paper for Communication in Physics, describing a theoretical model he had imagined-the model now known as the "Higgs mechanism". But was edited back for ridiculous reasons.
The paper was finally published in the Fast Review of Physics.
If it were not for his insistence, perhaps even today people cannot explain how the basic particles carrying weak interactions gain mass.
Faced with the written email for a long time.
Looking at the "summary" in the penultimate line, he hesitated for a moment, then deleted the word from the email to make the wording of the entire email look as euphemistic as possible, and then clicked the send button.
"... I hope to make a difference."
No matter whether the old friend can listen to his opinions, he has to do what he can within his ability.
He murmured mutteringly in his mouth. He held the arm of the chair, stood up from the chair, and walked tremblingly to the window.
There were dark clouds outside the window, and it was clear that it was getting dark in the morning. The neighbor across the street had closed the window and put the flower pots in the yard into the house. It seemed that a heavy rain might fall at any time.
"... I always feel like something big is going to happen today."
With a murmur in his mouth, the old man reached for the curtain.
Academic intuition is a very metaphysical thing.
I'm afraid he didn't even think that what he said at random was really fulfilled ...
...
February 2.
For the international physics community, today is definitely a day of extraordinary significance.
Three days have elapsed since the end of the lunar night period. It should not be surprising that the energy storage facilities supporting the accidental collider should have been charged. IMCRC will soon conduct the next collision experiment in the near future.
Before the experiment began, it received widespread attention from the physics community.
No reason for him.
Because not long ago, Lu Zhou uploaded an article on the theory of hyperspace on Arxiv's website, and the elementary particles constituting the atom contained a kind of particles existing in hyperspace.
Under normal circumstances, such particles are quite stable and barely reveal their feet. Only in high-energy physics experiments where collision energy can reach a certain order, will this special particle briefly appear in the conventional three-dimensional space-time in an extremely unstable form.
Once the theory was published, it immediately caused a wave of controversy in the physics community.
Professor Langsova Engler, who had won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics with Professor Peter Higgs, told the media in an interview.
"This theory may sound even more surprising than the superstring theory, even incredible ... Although the theory of hyperspace is not an avant-garde view, the theory of M once made something like 'the entire universe should have eleven super The prediction of 'spatial dimension', but this is only a guess after all. Compared to his theory, I am actually more curious how he proves? "
"I mean, with the current methods of physics experiments, the objects we can observe are only this dimension or something lower than this dimension."
"I take the most popular particle. If we are just paper people living on a white paper, a small ball is parallel to the paper surface we are on and makes vertical movement. Assuming the light source is absolutely perpendicular to the paper surface, What we can see on the paper is just a stationary point projected on the paper. "
"If there really is a particle that exists in a high dimension ~ EbookFREE.me ~, what we can see at most is its projection on three-dimensional space, let alone analyze its complete motion trajectory."
"So, what kind of experiments does he intend to use to prove that such a theory that is almost impossible to prove is true? Even if he is logically self-consistent."
The creatures of the two-dimensional world can never know the whole of the three-dimensional world, and the creatures of the three-dimensional world are also confused about the four-dimensional world.
Regardless of whether Professor Langsova Engler can imagine what kind of experiments Lu Zhou will prove to his conclusions, a new round of IMCRC experiments is about to begin. At this time, he just expressed his curiosity, and Negative views are not as vivid as Professor Whittle's.
After all, from the perspective of a physicist, he was still very happy to see that Lu Zhou could solve this problem.
If he can indeed prove that the elementary particles that make up the universe are indeed hidden in a high-dimensional world, many of the problems of today's physical interface pairs will be solved.
The waiting process is so long.
Just when everyone was looking forward to the IMCRC to update the experimental data, it was finally 12 o'clock in the morning, Beijing time, and the latest experimental data was uploaded to the official database simultaneously.
With the spread of news, universities with global cooperation with IMCRC have acquired first-hand information and started processing the original data.
Even the Brookhaven National Laboratory of the entire OB, even though it has announced a high-profile announcement to temporarily withdraw from the program, still download the data cheekily.
The results of the experiments were unexpected.
At a time when the entire physics community was astonished by the results of this experiment, a lecture hosted by Lu Zhou himself had begun at IMCRC headquarters ...
