"Did he kill his corresponding author?"
Fortunately, the Chinese, who have suddenly become rich in recent years, have generously donated their money to build an IMCRC larger than CERN on the moon's crater, allowing the development of high-energy physics to return to the fast lane.
And where did this part of gravity go
About half an hour passed. He looked half-comprehensive and muttered something in a low voice.
Now the accident has obviously happened.
In fact, his disdain is not unfounded.
"It's just fart..."
He stared dumbfounded at his grumpy boss, who changed his attitude 180 degrees in just half an hour. The assistant standing in the office almost doubted whether the person sitting here was really Ohani. Professor An—that awesome person who once argued with the dean over a certain academic point of view, and even pointed at each other and scolded him.
After at least ten minutes, Ohanian suddenly sighed, stood up with his hands on the armrests, and walked to the wastebasket.
However, this vague idea was quickly rejected by himself.
If nothing else, the next Dirac Prize is already within his grasp.
Wilson Ohanian is a professor of physics at Stanford University, mainly engaged in research in the direction of high energy physics. As a former winner of the Oliver Buckley Award, he is considered the leader among a group of young physicists who have emerged in recent years.
This kind of thing happens from time to time, and not all tutors have the time to correct every paper of their students word for word. Especially for an academic leader like Lu Zhou, he might not even remember how many students he has.
"professor."
"… What did you say?"
"Okay... I can't say it too harshly. Although it sounds weird, it's not necessarily completely wrong."
"What's the most important thing?"
"At least half of them might have a chance to become true."
And Lu Zhou, who discovered this particle, won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics in one fell swoop because of this ground-breaking discovery, becoming a candidate for the most outstanding physicist of this century.
"But the most important thing is..."
He also confirmed this with a mathematics professor at Stanford University.
The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and while his face remained stiff, Professor Ohanian still asked without giving up.
Although he was bathed in the envious gazes of his peers, only Ohanian himself knew how difficult the path he had chosen was.
Picking up the crumpled pages of the paper from the paper basket, taking them back to the desk and spreading them out, Ohanian patiently sat down again and read the entire twenty-page paper from beginning to end. .
However, this paper undoubtedly completely overturned his research, and also made the Dirac Physics Prize, which he thought was almost within reach, go away...
"All the sci-fi movies you used to see, whether they were from Hollywood or wherever."
He thought it might be an extra dimension.
"The paper was written by Professor Lu... He posted it on Arxiv. According to your request, I printed out all the papers worth reading in the direction you are following."
"Most importantly, this means that light-year travel will no longer be an unreliable dream."
The air in the office froze for a moment.
Professor Ohanian said without hesitation in an almost affirmative tone.
That is, the Z particle loses mass when it moves from a high dimension to a low dimension, and this dimensional mass loss ultimately leads to a smaller gravitational force observed in classical space-time.
"What does it mean? Haha, what does it mean..."
Seeing the broad prospects behind this direction at a glance, Ohanian immediately changed his research direction and entered into the study of Z particles, and achieved quite good results in the study of "Explanation of Dimension Changes of Z Particles" progress.
This is not a conjecture, but a theorem proven by Stephen Hawking.
Because whether you want to prove this point of view or reject this point of view, a huge amount of calculation is required to support it. Even some mathematicians who specialize in topology and algebraic geometry will find it difficult.
After all, the paper posted on Arxiv is not a publication, but a preprint—
"What's wrong?"
This particle, which fell into people's sight from the high-dimensional world at the end of last year, has expanded the research of high-energy physics directly to the invisible world by a full n dimensions.
However…
As if he was crazy, Professor Ohanian grinned dryly and stared at the paper motionlessly, as if he was glued to it.
Even the fingers that Professor Ohanian stretched out towards the coffee cup were frozen on the handle of the coffee cup.
The so-called time-like curve is the movement trajectory of a mass object in space and time that can be physically realized.
Seeing that Professor Ohanian was mid-sentence and didn't speak for a long time, the young assistant who couldn't hold his breath finally couldn't help but continue to ask.
"It means that the space-time view of general relativity will be subverted, and our understanding of classical space-time will be refreshed... In fact, this is nothing. Anyway, there are more than one or two patches on the building of physics."
"But the author of this paper is Professor Lu..."
After snorting through his nose, Professor Ohanian replied without raising his head.
There was a long silence in the office.
Cursing, Ohanian crumpled up the paper in his hand and threw it into the paper basket. Ohanian did not hesitate to express his contempt, criticizing the theories of "hyperspace channel" and "change of curvature of space and time" as worthless.
After swallowing, the assistant said tremblingly.
In fact, Ohanian had a similar idea a long time ago when he saw the disturbance of the gravitational field caused by Z particles falling from high dimensions to low dimensions.
Such as boat (Z) particles.
"Hyperspace channel? Change of space-time curvature?"
After he seemed to be less angry, the assistant swallowed and whispered.
It is very helpful to have the name of an outstanding person as the corresponding author. At least it will prevent the review editor from throwing the paper into the trash can immediately, and the attitude of the scholars who correct the paper during peer review will be relatively gentle.
In general relativity, if the topology of space changes within a bounded region, then there is a closed time-like curve within the space-time range where this change occurs.
In contrast, he prefers another explanation.
Seeing Professor Ohanian getting angry, the assistant in the office stood beside him tremblingly, not daring to speak.
"He is the only author..." Just as Ohanian was thinking about the transfer, the words that came out of his trembling assistant's mouth completely shattered his thoughts, "There is only one name on the paper. "
A popular explanation for this sentence is that changing the topology of space is prohibited by general relativity!
Limited by backward technical means, up to now they are still verifying whether the guesses of the last century are correct, and their exploration of the future has barely begun.
Assistant: "If he's right... what does that mean?"
"According to this, does it mean that as long as I dig a hole in place, I can get to the other side of the Milky Way?"
Similarly, just citing the name of the corresponding author does not mean that Professor Lu participated in this paper. It is possible that he has not even read this paper.
