"I don't think it was CERN that abandoned my results. It was limited by the objectively lagging experimental conditions, the existing theory was insufficient to support my conclusions, and it was also limited by my own level... In short, the experiment could not continue. , putting it on hold temporarily is the best option.”
"Assume a situation, if the light source shining on the paper is not vertical, but emitted from a point. Then the sphere moving between the light source and the plane is no longer visible to creatures in the two-dimensional world. There is no escape. At least by studying the size of the projection, they can calculate the distance between the sphere and themselves in the three-dimensional coordinate system, and even calculate its physical properties based on its trajectory and speed. Even if They may not be able to see it with their own eyes.”
Looking at the thoughtful 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.
“I am honored to stand here and announce to everyone the latest research results of IMCRC!”
"Like I said at the beginning, math doesn't lie."
"For convenience of writing, I will write it as 'Z'."
"Boat particle, that's my name for it."
[Z]
"Generally speaking, we don't think that's possible."
IMCRC headquarters.
"This is the limitation of two-dimensional creatures," Lu Zhou's voice gradually became more serious as he looked at the scholars in the audience, and continued, "They can never know that they have observed an extremely small creature in their own world. Point, what exactly does it correspond to in the three-dimensional world? Maybe it is a giant thing comparable to a planet, maybe it is just a tiny hydrogen nucleus."
And not only that, the most important thing is that this experiment will be the first exploration of matter in the high-dimensional world in the history of human physics, instead of just proving the existence of high-dimensional space.
After a long pause, Professor Witten continued to add in an emotional tone.
"Before I begin my explanation, I would like to tell a story."
The voices of discussion spread in the lecture hall.
That's his name.
"Next, I will use the data in your hands to prove its existence."
However, it is meaningless to say this now...
Looking at the packed venue, Lu Zhou walked up to the stage and stretched out his hand to straighten the microphone.
"But I never thought that my conclusion was wrong."
No unnecessary opening remarks.
The No. 1 lecture hall was packed with seats, and it was completely dark as far as the eye could see. Among them are researchers from IMCRC, physicists from other research institutions who have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and even scholars from Brookhaven National Laboratory who took annual leave to visit here in their personal capacity.
"So, remember to look carefully."
Almost the moment he stepped into the lecture hall, the noisy voices in the venue suddenly became quiet like the fading tide.
"...It's unimaginable that it's only been a month."
"At that moment, we can see an extremely tiny 'tangential point' appearing at the point where the spherical surface contacts the plane. And when the spherical surface is smooth enough, the area of this tangent point can even be ignored. So much so that we feel like there might be something there, but no matter how much we explore, we can’t feel its presence.”
After saying that, Lu Zhou turned to face the whiteboard, casually painted a solid circle on it, and then casually slid down a few line segments as abstract light sources, which were projected onto a hand-drawn plane.
"How can a paper man living in a two-dimensional world observe a sphere moving in a three-dimensional space?"
After that, Lu Zhou faced the whiteboard again and wrote a Chinese character on it—
"And what we are doing at the Lunar Hadron Collider is exactly the same thing!"
In comparison, the hyperspace particle itself is "insignificant".
Looking at the buzzing meeting place, Witten, who was sitting at the table, suddenly said with emotion.
Almost half of them, especially the scholars from other research institutions, had unexpected expressions on their faces. Although they had seen the experimental data, most of them did not understand why Lu Zhou came to such a decisive conclusion.
Facing a pair of expectant or solemn gazes, he spoke slowly in a clear voice.
Glancing around the silent venue, Lu Zhou smiled and continued in a relatively cheerful tone.
A long time ago, about seven years ago, Lu Zhou was still an intern at CERN, and he was the one leading the 750Gev project. If he had not given up, the first high-dimensional particle discovered in human history might have been named after him.
This will undoubtedly have great enlightening significance for the future development of physics.
"Through multiple sets of experiments in the 1250Tev, 1260Tev, and 1300Tev energy regions, we have collected enough data."
[Boat]
There was a hint of surprise written on many people's faces that was stronger than before.
The report meeting will start in ten minutes, and almost everyone is looking forward to it.
"Many years ago, I discovered anomalies in 750Gev."
Almost step by step, Lu Zhou, dressed in formal attire, stepped into the crowded lecture hall.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
The incredible sounds from the audience gradually spread.
At least in the eyes of most of them, there is no direct connection between the two.
Before that, he had even been prepared to spend a whole year on this topic, but he did not expect that such significant progress would occur in just one month.
In fact, it's not just Brookhaven National Laboratory that regrets it.
Looking back at the silent reporting hall, seeing that no one objected as expected, Lu Zhou smiled and continued in a clear voice.
For example, Wilczek particles or something.
"I will write as detailed as possible, but even so, I cannot guarantee that everyone can understand it."
"In a mathematical sense, no matter how many dimensions it has, even if we cannot understand their existence in an intuitive sense, we can peel them off in an abstract sense."
"If you think about it carefully, is it scary to think about it? Maybe the elementary particles we are familiar with are actually something bigger and weirder than we imagine in a higher-dimensional world. And everything around us , if it is divided infinitely, will it end up with countless such infinitely small origins?"
"Sacrificing countless hydrogen nuclei, we finally found the ghost that has been haunting us from the mystery comparable to the quantum world."
"...Brookhaven National Laboratory is probably going to regret it right now."
If you want to say who is happiest, besides Lu Zhou, it must be him.
At the upcoming report meeting, as the chairman of 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 theory of hyperspace and the star hidden in hyperspace. The study of particles in the world.
"Because of mathematics, you may make mistakes, but you will never lie."
And a big abbreviation -
"750 Gev is not all of it, but the part of it that is exposed to our sight. As I initially guessed, its true body is hidden in hyperspace that cannot be directly observed."
"Of course, studying the nature of the universe we see is not the focus of this lecture."
"There is no doubt that two-dimensional creatures have incomplete understanding of the three-dimensional world. Unless we are extremely lucky, we can barely see its projection in the two-dimensional world with the help of a beam of light from the three-dimensional world. . However, without this beam of light, we not only lack the means of observation, but also lack the understanding of the high-dimensional world. What we can see is only what they want us to see... Or in other words, this is The moment a sphere lands on paper."
After hearing Professor Witten's words, Professor Frank Wilzek sitting next to him did not speak, but a subtle expression appeared on his face.
Responding to the surprised glances, Lu Zhou continued.
Lu Zhou, who went straight to the topic, continued.
After a pause, he smiled and continued.
Noticing the changes in the expressions on their faces, Lu Zhou's expression did not change at all, and he continued to speak in a relaxed tone.
"It's not because of stubbornness, but because I did find that unnatural anomaly in my calculation results. Maybe quantum fluctuations are a very convenient explanation, but in comparison, I believe in my calculations more .”
Having seen the complete experimental data, he knew exactly what the success of this experiment meant. If this hyperspace particle really exists, the prediction he made in M theory will undoubtedly obtain a crucial piece of evidence.
