Wilson Ohanian is a professor of physics who teaches at Stanford University. He is mainly engaged in the research of high energy physics. As a former Oliver Buckley Award winner, he is regarded as a leader among a group of young physicists who have emerged in recent years.
Although the envious eyes of his peers were bathed, only Ohanian himself knew how difficult the road he had chosen was.
Limited to backward technological means, they have so far verified that the guesses of the last century are correct, but the exploration of the future has barely begun.
Fortunately, in recent years, the Chinese people who suddenly became wealthy generously donated money and built an icrc larger than cern on the crater of the moon, so that the development of high-energy physics returned to the fast lane.
For example, boat (z) particles.
Starting from the end of last year, the particle that fell from the high-dimensional world into people's sight has widened the study of high-energy physics directly to the invisible world by a full n dimensions.
The land boat that discovered this particle also won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023 for this ground-breaking discovery and became a candidate for the most outstanding physicist of this century.
At a glance, he saw the broad prospects behind this direction. Ohanian immediately changed his research direction, entered the research of z particles, and obtained quite good results in the study of "explanation of dimensional changes of z particles." progress.
Not surprisingly, the next Dirac Award is already in his pocket.
however……
Now the accident has clearly happened.
"It's a fart ..."
"Hyperspace channel? Spatiotemporal curvature changed?"
"Is that like that, as long as I make a hole in place, I can drill to the other side of the galaxy?"
He scolded the papers in his hands and throw them into the basket. Ohanian didn't scorn the contempt, and criticized the theory of "hyperspace channel" and "change of space-time curvature" theory.
In fact, his disdain is not without foundation.
In general relativity, if the topological structure of space changes in a bounded region, then there is a closed-time curve in the space-time range in which this change occurs.
The so-called time-like curve is the trajectory of a mass object in space and time that can be physically realized.
A popular explanation for this sentence is that changing the topological structure of space is prohibited by general relativity!
This is not a conjecture, but a theorem proved by Stephen Hawking.
In fact, Ohanian had a similar brain hole long ago when he saw the disturbance of the gravitational field caused by the z-particle falling from a high dimension to a low dimension.
However, this fuzzy brain hole was quickly denied by himself.
Because whether you want to prove this point or not, you need a huge amount of calculations to support it. Even some mathematicians who specialize in topology and algebraic geometry will find it tricky.
He also confirmed this with a mathematics professor at Stanford University.
In contrast, he prefers another interpretation.
That is, a mass loss occurs when the z-particle moves from a high dimension to a low dimension, and the mass loss in the sense of this dimension eventually leads to a smaller gravitational force observed in classic spacetime.
Where did this part of gravity go?
He thought it might be extra dimensions.
However, this thesis undoubtedly overturned his research and took the Dirac Prize for Physics, which was almost within his reach ...
Looking at Professor Ohanian who was angry, the assistant in the office stood trembling beside him, afraid to speak.
After his breath seemed to fade, the assistant swallowed and whispered.
"But the author of this paper is Professor Lu ..."
The air in the office was frozen for a moment.
Even Professor Ohhanian's fingers reaching for the coffee cup were frozen on the handle of the coffee cup.
"……what did you say?"
"The thesis was written by Professor Lu ... He posted it on arxiv, and I printed all the papers worth seeing in your direction according to your requirements."
The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and his face remained stiff, Professor Ohhanian still asked impassively.
"Did he hang up his corresponding author."
This kind of thing happens from time to time, and not all mentors have that time, and they review every essay of their students verbatim. Especially academic leaders like Lu Zhou may not remember how many students he has.
It is very helpful to add the name of the bull to the corresponding author, at least to prevent review editors from throwing the paper into the trash can at the first time, and the attitude of scholars who review the paper during peer review will be relatively mild.
And the same, just hanging out the corresponding author's words, can not explain that this paper was participated by Professor Lu, maybe he has not even read this paper is possible.
After all, the papers hanging on arxiv are not just publications, just preprints—
"I am the only author ..." The words that fluttered from the mouth of his trembling assistant while Ohanian was turning his mind, completely shattered his brain. "Only the name of the man was in the paper. . "
There was a long silence in the office.
After at least ten minutes, Ohanian suddenly sighed, stood up with his arms on his arms, and walked to the wastebasket.
Picking up the bunch of papers from the paper basket, putting them back on the desk and spreading them out, Ohanian sat down again, and read the entire twenty-page paper from beginning to end. .
About half an hour later ~ EbookFREE.me ~ he murmured with a half-knowledge.
"Well ... I can't say too much, though it sounds strange, but it's not necessarily completely wrong."
Glancing at his grumpy boss, it took only half an hour to change his attitude at 180 degrees, and the assistant standing in the office almost doubted whether it was the real Ohani Professor An-the bull who once argued with the dean for an academic point of view, or even pointed at the other person's nose.
Swallowed, the assistant trembled.
"professor."
He snorted, and Professor Ohanian replied without looking up.
"what happened?"
Assistant "If he is right ... what does this mean?"
"What does it mean? Oh, what does it mean ..."
As if crazy, Professor Ohanian grinned and stared at the dissertation as if he were stuck on it.
"It means that the space-time view of general relativity will be subverted, and our understanding of classic space-time will be refreshed ... In fact, this is nothing, anyway, there are more than two patches on the physics building.
"But the most important thing is ..."
Seeing Professor Ohanian's one-half sentence, he didn't continue to speak for a long time. The impatient young assistant finally couldn't help but continue to ask.
"What's the key?"
In an almost certain tone, Professor Ohanian said without hesitation.
"The bottom line is that this means that travel in light years will no longer be an unreliable dream."
"Every science fiction movie you've seen in the past, whether it's Hollywood or anywhere."
"At least half, maybe there is a chance to become true."
