"Academician Lu?" Looking at the old man sitting on the sofa in surprise, Lu Zhou smiled and walked up to greet him, "Why are you here?"
Looking at the former students in front of him, Academician Lu nodded, his heart full of praise and emotion.
…
It was this blog post of less than twenty words that made the entire physics community boil.
Zhao Huan did not speak, but took out a newspaper and spread it on the desk.
"I never expected to see this day in my lifetime. Professor Lu's knowledge is admirable!"
Once the mass gap problem of the Yang-Mills equation is explained mathematically, it is only a matter of time before a unified theory of strong electricity can be developed. After all, the most difficult thing about the unified theory of strong electricity is that it cannot directly apply the "symmetry breaking" method like the unified theory of weak electricity.
His consciousness returned to the study room of the villa. Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the desk, was not in a hurry to finish his work. Instead, he went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee, then turned on the computer and logged in to his account registered on MathOverflow. .
"Um!"
In other words, how long does it take for him to solve this problem.
Lu Zhou, who had settled a major event and had been in a mess for many days, climbed into bed early that day and went to sleep.
Speaking of which, the Shuyuan and the Wuyuan are quite far apart...
Lu Zhou glanced at it and saw it was the English version of the Daily Mail.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but these professors seemed to be waiting there.
"Professor, it's not good."
I saw a line of titles hanging in the sidebar of the second page.
It’s too much trouble to reply one by one.
Although he heard a lot of congratulations along the way, this congratulation from the teacher alone made him feel a little proud that he had not felt in a long time.
[Professor Brian’s accusation: This is naked plagiarism!]
After confirming the system mission one last time, Lu Zhou exited the system space.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou clicked on the blog function that he had never used before, edited a blog post in less than ten seconds, and clicked the send button.
[Before the end of the month, I will give you an answer.]
Ask him how far he is from the upgraded version of the "Unified Theory of Weak Electricity" - the "Unified Theory of Strong Electricity".
He slept until six o'clock the next day, and when he was awakened by his biological clock, he got up and ate the breakfast sent by Wang Peng, and then took a bus to Jinda.
Maintaining a stiff but polite smile along the way, Lu Zhou basically responded politely to everyone who greeted him.
Looking at these private messages, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile.
And the most interesting thing is that there are not only private messages from some workers in the field of mathematics, but also some PhDs, postdocs, and professors in theoretical physics who have specially registered accounts and sent him private messages.
What did he think it was...
It's like everything falls into place.
After seeing off his tutor, Lu Zhou returned to his desk and sat down. He took out the manuscript paper from the drawer. After thinking for a moment, he began to write a paper on the unified theory of strong electricity.
"Just a while ago, I thought you were so focused on aerospace that you wasted your talent in physics, but I was confused instead." After saying this with emotion, Academician Lu looked at Lu Zhou and joked In a tone that didn’t sound like he was joking, he said, “No one among contemporary physicists is closer to God than you, so just do what you should do!”
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Academician Lu waved his hand, smiled and said, "I came today not only to see you, but also to congratulate you!"
However, now that the mass gap problem has been solved, the final bottleneck leading to strong electric interaction no longer exists. Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before this epoch-making theory is born.
However, at this moment, the office door was pushed open in a hurry, and Assistant Zhao, who was responsible for his schedule, trotted in hurriedly.
"Congratulations! In the future, there will be another great god added to the temple of physics."
In the past two years, as he got older, even if he wanted to travel around the world and attend meetings like he did five years ago, his physical condition would not allow him to do so. After retiring from the front line of scientific research, he devoted most of his energy to teaching and cultivating the next generation of scholars for Jinling University.
As the largest and most professional mathematics forum in the world, many well-known new generation scholars such as Terence Tao and Schultz have their own accounts and blogs on it, and Lu Zhou is no exception.
That's all it is.
"Professor Lu, congratulations!"
I also know what I should do at this moment.
Along the way, he no longer knows how many people he "encountered" by chance.
The core idea of all these private messages is basically the same.
Academician Lu smiled and said, "What else can I do? Of course I come here to see you."
"The grand unified theory is the Holy Grail in the world of theoretical physics. The unification of strong interaction and electromagnetic interaction is the second step towards the grand unified theory. If you can complete the proof of mass intermittence, you will not be far away from the unified theory of strong electricity." . Your name will be recorded in history together with this theory, not only as a monument in the history of physics, but also as a monument to the human mind."
Although they didn’t get along for a long time, the valuable experience of interning at CERN has benefited him a lot even now.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zhou nodded solemnly.
Academician Lu waved his hand: "That's not necessary. Anyway, it's only a few steps. I'm free. It's okay to walk more. And you are so busy in research. If I harass you frequently, that would be too much." I don’t know the importance anymore.”
Thinking that the paper updated on Arxiv yesterday should have received a lot of downloads, Lu Zhou opened the MathOverflow mailbox. However, even though he was prepared for the influx of information, he was still taken aback by the sky-breaking amount of information.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You can just tell me no if you want to see me. I will go directly to the Wuyuan. There is no need for you to visit me in person."
Lu Zhou: "How is that possible? I'm not so busy that I can't spare the time to say a few words."
He knew what Academician Lu was talking about.
Needless to say, praise is needed. Being able to accomplish such a great achievement at such an age is very rare even if we look at the entire history of theoretical physics. As for his emotion, he never thought that his initial move to bring him into the world of theoretical physics would bring about such a huge change in the physics he was familiar with.
Perhaps it is because the improvement of his physics level has strengthened his thinking ability on this type of issue, or perhaps it is because his recent research on this issue has made him understand many obscure issues. When writing this article When writing a paper that was destined to change the world, he felt more fluid than ever.
He still has great respect for his former mentor.
Lu Zhou: "..."
Hearing the congratulations, Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly.
Although he does not update his blog as diligently as Professor Tao, Lu Zhou still frequently communicates with scholars from all over the world through this forum.
Lu Zhou looked away from the draft paper and looked at Zhao Huan questioningly.
After a pause, he continued.
The abstract part was skipped, and the first part of the text was drafted. Lu Zhou stopped writing and looked at the lines of calculations on the paper that were like works of art. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up with a smile.
What's more interesting is that when he got off the black Hongqi and walked towards Shuyuan, people greeted him frequently along the way.
Finally arriving at the office, Lu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk to his desk to sit down when he found an acquaintance sitting on the sofa in the office. There was also a cup of wine on the coffee table that looked like it had just been filled. How long for hot tea.
