Chapter 171: Frank Welzek

The discovery of pentaquark particles is exciting news for the entire theoretical physics community.
For Frank Wilzek, however, his recent mood is not so good.
Of course, his good mood wasn't disturbed by the hadron collider, but because of a gambling contract six years ago.
Six years ago, at the physics conference in Azores, he made a bet with a gentleman named Garrett.
Mr. Reese, who did not know where to get the invitation, stood up and made troubles when he talked about the standard model, insisting that supersymmetric particles did not exist at all, because you could not find supersymmetric particles at all, and Frank naturally maintained the theory Physics, and predicts that the Hadron Collider (lh) will detect supersymmetric particles in 6 years!
Then they made a bet in front of everyone.
The arbiter of the gamble was Max Tagormark, a professor at the then host of the conference at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The bet is $ 1,000.
Now, 6 years have passed. After more than two years of rest, lh finally successfully increased the energy to 13tev after restarting the experiment on June 3. But even if pentaquark particles are found, there are no signs of supersymmetric particles.
Although the standard model was correctly tested again, it was of no use, and he lost the bet.
As for the reason, he overestimated ern's ability and was too optimistic about the performance after lh upgrade.
In fact, betting is not uncommon in physics.
This is not the first time he has bet Frank Frankzek himself.
In 2005, he made a bet with MIT's "beauty scientist" Jenny Conrad, convinced that lh would detect the Higgs particles, while the latter thought lh could not be found.
At that time the bet was the chocolate chocolate supplied at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony. The final result was obvious. Frank won the bet and got 10 chocolate chocolates.
Only this time it seemed that he was not so lucky, he unfortunately lost the gamble.
In fact, there is nothing to win or lose. For these scholars, betting is at best a transfer after work.
But the problem came, and the Mr. Garretris, who was betting on him, was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
First of all, this Mr. Reese is not a physicist at all, but a PhD in philosophy from the University of California, Los Angeles, and is now a bridge builder.
Secondly, the greatest achievement of this Ph.D. is to construct the legendary unification theorem by using the Lie group e8 structure that has only recently been analyzed by mathematicians, and predicted more than 20 particles.
Einstein's unfinished cause has always been a treasure hunt for theoretical physicists. However, it is clear that this treasure is not only theoretical physicists, but also countless civilians who do not understand physics at all.
Mr. Garrett is probably the most educated in the civil sciences, at least higher than those idiots in North America who stubbornly believe that the earth is square and make their own rockets to send them to the stratosphere Already.
It is for this reason that he was named the "King of Civil Science" by many people.
Although his set of mathematical theories incorporating philosophical thoughts was sneered by both mathematicians and physicists, they were quite marketable in some places and even published a copy.
It is for this reason that for Werzek, losing this bet is awkward.
A grand Nobel prize winner in physics was lost to the "King of Civil Science".
Although he confessed to losing on his personal Twitter and fulfilled the $ 1,000 gentleman agreement, it is clear that he was not as calm as he showed on social platforms.
It's not a $ 1,000 thing, but the guy named Reese is pretty bad, and he shows it online all day long.
Recently, many people teased him about this incident when they met. He couldn't help but slap himself. Why did he get a slap in the head and make a bet with this kind of spicy chicken?
It's too shameful!
Sitting in the office that ern prepared for him, Mr. Frank was drinking coffee while browsing the latest paper on the five-quark particle on the arxiv website.
Just then, his assistant knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Frank, someone asked me to bring you something."
"What?" Mr. Frank said casually.
"It looks like a paper," the assistant replied.
Although he was not feeling well recently, he still spoke.
"Let me see."
"Good sir."
Taking the dissertation printed on the paper from the assistant's hand, Frank took it over and flipped it, casually asking: "No name on it? Who brought it?"
Assistant: "According to the person's introduction, he is an intern."
"Intern?" Frank frowned slightly, but instead of throwing the paper aside because of his identity, he continued to look at it unchanged.
To be able to intern in ern, the ability must be at least not civil science. In fact, what many people lack is not knowledge, but just an opportunity. If this paper is interesting, he doesn't mind pointing out the intern.
And that's why he's so popular here.
Originally, I just looked at it casually, but continued to follow the paper. Frank, who was originally expressionless, gradually showed a trace of interest on his face.
When he saw a certain word in the thesis, his expression suddenly stopped, and his interested expression gradually became serious.
Leaving the dissertation in hand, Frank looked at his assistant.
"How about this person?"
The assistant froze slightly, then said, "He didn't leave a phone number, but left an address at the hotel near the ern building. If you want to see him, I can get him for you."
"Go find him for me. The paper is a bit interesting." Frank dropped the paper in the upper left corner of the table.
Generally speaking, the papers placed here are a little interesting to him, at least they are worth the time.
As for the pile on the right, the final destination is mostly the office shredder
After handing over the thesis to Mr. Frank's assistant, Lu Zhou originally thought that it would take a few days for the results to come, but he did not expect happiness to come so suddenly.
Just the next morning, Mr. Frank Welzek's assistant came to the hotel to find him, and took him to the building's office.
And the old man's first sentence after seeing him was.
"What do you think it might be?"
Lu Zhou said without hesitation: "Super-symmetric particles!"
In fact, this possibility is very small, even he did not believe that the gadget might be a supersymmetric particle, but he must say so.
This is a gimmick, just like pulling investment.
However, Mr. Frank was obviously not so good, flickered, shook his head.
"It's not realistic."
"But there is such a possibility, maybe it is something else, but whatever it is, is it worthy of our research, isn't it?" Lu Zhou continued, "Do you want to bet? I'll pay a hundred dollars and bet there is sure Something. "
When he heard the bet, the old man's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he coughed, "No need to bet."
Lu Zhou froze slightly.
He knew beforehand that the old man's favorite thing to do was bet on others. Why did he suddenly change his temper?
After a pause, Frank continued.
"I'm a little interested in your findings, but it's just a little bit. And whether or not I'm interested, ern cannot start lh for an imperfect theory, and you haven't succeeded in persuading me."
"However, I can give you a chance. Before the end of the month, you can improve your theory, and then at the European Nuclear Research Conference at the end of the month, UU reads www.uukanshu.com. I will recommend you to come to the stage to make a report. Report your findings to the physicists who participated in the conference. If you can convince me with your theory then, I can consider helping you persuade others. "
As he said this, Frank was staring into the landing boat's eyes.
Lu Zhou knew what the old man was waiting for.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou answered the old man's expectations with a positive look.
And his answer was only one word.
"it is good!"
