"As a way to inspire others, let me take the lead."
"Here, on behalf of IMCRC, CERN... and other physics research institutions, I would like to ask questions of a hundred centuries. I hope they can inspire our wisdom and guide our discipline to move in a more prosperous and greater direction."
"I don't know..." Wei Hong, who frowned and grabbed the armrest of the chair, shook his head, "I think optimistically, maybe it can be done, but in my opinion, the hope is quite slim."
As if confirming everyone's suspicions, Lu Zhou announced in a clear voice.
"We should get the announcement session in the afternoon..." Wei Hong thought for a while and continued, "After all, voting is nothing to live broadcast."
"We all agree that the last era of physics has ended, and that you stand at the intersection of the old and new eras and represent the future of physics."
Walking to the front of the crowd, looking at the excited eyes, Luo Wenxuan coughed hard, raised his voice and spoke.
"This meeting has been for you from the beginning."
The moment this news was announced—
The expressions of disbelief were almost written on their faces. Many people not only stood up, but even made incredible sounds.
In fact, when he looked around, he found that he was relatively restrained.
As the door of Conference Hall No. 1 closed tightly, the thoughts of the physicists in the International Convention and Exhibition Center also followed the closed door and flew into the auditorium that will determine the future direction of physics.
Unify the four basic forces!
It's just that they still can't believe that it's really it...
"We therefore send our sincerest wishes to future scholars that over the next hundred years we will be able to answer the questions that have plagued our civilization."
"The first question of the century—"
"Scholars with invitation letters are asked to move to Conference Hall No. 2."
Although everyone expected to hear some news in advance, it was a pity that the confidentiality of the meeting was so good that no news was released in advance.
Under the guidance of the staff, the crowd was diverted to the door of Conference Hall No. 2.
Putting down the speech in his hand, Lu Zhou picked up a small card from the table, smiled slightly and said.
Looking at the surprised meeting place, Lu Zhou only paused for a moment before continuing to speak.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The Centennial Physics Conference has officially begun.
Wei Hong and David Wik are also on this list, and as the best young physicists, they are placed in a fairly high position.
If they had more seniority, they might be able to walk into the conference room behind the wall, and at least be eligible to attend. But unfortunately, apart from the Z-particle gravitational wave equation, they have not achieved any particularly big achievements, so they can only stand outside and wait quietly.
Standing next to the poster display area in the exhibition hall on the first floor, looking at the large black screen hanging on the wall, Wei Hong suddenly spoke to Professor Davidko who was standing next to him.
When the door finally opened, the reporters outside the door immediately swarmed forward, but they were blocked by venue staff who had been prepared and protected the delegations and observing scholars in the conference hall from leaving.
"That will be the greatest glory of the world of physics and even human civilization. The perfect and ultimate theory that everyone has dreamed of since Einstein's time—"
Sitting next to Professor Wei Hong, Davik stared at the podium with his mouth open, and said blankly: "I, I, it was beyond my expectation... I thought he would say something about Z particles. By the way, Is there really any hope of realizing a grand unified theory?”
"I don't know... In my opinion, each of the 522 problems that passed the preliminary selection is very critical. At least it is difficult to find out which one is redundant. If I want to sort, I can only rank the few I know first. … After all, I haven’t researched the others at all, and I have no right to speak.”
From this moment on, many people have already guessed what the first question Lu Zhou will announce is.
The atmosphere in the entire hall exploded instantly!
Complete the Grand Unified Theory!
It doesn't matter what he said, it immediately pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a peak.
"We will be there, holding the opening ceremony of the 'Century of Physics' physics summit!"
Unlike the previous group of scholars who attended the meeting, most of the scholars sitting at this opening ceremony were outstanding young scholars and young physicists who had made outstanding contributions in physics.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually heated up, and everyone looked at the door expectantly.
"What is dark matter, what is the energy that created our universe, and what is the ultimate fate of the universe... Even though we have solved many problems that the ancients could not have imagined in the past hundred years, the problems we face remain the same a lot of."
"If anyone could equate the elusive force of gravity with any of the first three, our entire physics would enter a whole new dimension."
Wei Hong, who blurted out these words, almost stood up from his seat.
"I heard that the meeting proceedings will be broadcast live in the hall?" Professor Davidk asked in a low voice, looking at the dark big screen on the wall.
"It's actually a grand unified theory?!"
That was Einstein's long-cherished wish that he never fulfilled throughout his life.
"We all know that there are four fundamental forces in our universe - namely, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force and gravity. In addition to the previous ones that have been linked to the 'unified theory of weak electricity' and the 'unified theory of strong electricity' Of the three, we still know very little about the last one.”
If it could really be done, it would have to be even more perverted than Einstein's IQ.
Walking to the podium in the conference hall, Lu Zhou, who was dressed in formal attire, cleared his throat, looked around at the expectant eyes of the audience, smiled slightly, and spoke in a steady voice.
When Lu Zhou said this, pairs of eyes in the conference hall invariably showed expressions of surprise.
"It's great to see you all here."
Most of them are over 30 years old and under 50 years old. They are in the golden age of scientific research. It is rare to see elderly people over 50 years old sitting here.
"Whoever can successfully solve this problem will receive a bonus of at least 100 million yuan!"
"How come there is nothing to live broadcast? I bet there is no one in the entire venue who is not thinking about this meeting."
As the completers of the Z-particle gravitational wave equation, although the two are popular candidates for the next Nobel Prize, they have not really received the favor of the Nobel Prize after all.
In this way, it lasted until noon.
The atmosphere in the conference hall boiled instantly.
"Whether it's all of you sitting down at the venue, or the scholars standing in the exhibition hall watching the conference through the big screen, or the students watching here through the online broadcast."
"And, announce the question of the hundredth century!"
Having said this, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, turned his gaze to the crowded conference hall, and raised his voice.
With curiosity in their hearts, scholars holding invitations in their hands began to enter and take their seats.
Stumped by this question, Davidk shook his head and said after thinking for a while.
"That is, a grand unified theory!"
"The following is the announcement. We have invited the compilers of a hundred centuries of problems. They will take our place and unveil the curtain of this new era."
"You think those difficult questions would make the cut."
"I don't deny it..." Shrugging his shoulders, Wei Hong said, "After all, I'm quite curious about what's going on inside now."
"As for the first question of the century, I am personally willing to donate 100 million yuan to the IMCRC Prize Management Agency! To reward scholars who have made outstanding contributions in this field!"
