Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 126 This young man is amazing!

"The theoretical framework is so inclusive that any of the four forces will be framed within it."

"This will be a theoretical framework for the unification of the four powers!"

"Its mathematical structure is so perfect that it cannot be ignored. It must exist, it must exist!"

Feng Ruhui stared at the contents on the whiteboard and became a little excited.

Yan Ming nodded in approval, "I've never seen it before. It looks like Zhang Shuo researched it himself."

"amazing!"

"It's amazing!"

When they were talking about the content, there were many people around listening. It seemed normal at first, but in the end they even acted a little fanatical, which made it impossible to empathize with them.

The main thing is that other people can’t understand it.

Cao Mengbo suddenly said, "I don't quite understand it either, but no matter what the experimental direction is, our computing center trusts Professor Zhang Shuo."

He looked at the others seriously, "Professor Zhang Shuo can do it! Look at our algorithm and deviation analysis. Who would believe it before it is completed?"

"No one believed it, no one could even imagine it!"

"Is there any theoretical support for this algorithm? Has anyone else mentioned it? So no matter what the experimental direction is, we support it!"

Cao Mengbo seems to be engaging in a cult of personality, but his message is very convincing.

In many scientific research fields, it is important to trust "people" rather than theories or reports.

All research is done by people.

Some project application reports sound exaggerated, as if great results can be achieved as long as funding is allocated, but most of the time, the funding is gone forever.

For some projects, applications are approved immediately after just one mention because the applicants are trustworthy.

As long as the applicant is credible, the research can change direction even without theoretical support and still produce discoveries.

In addition, most new directions of physics research do not have sufficient theoretical support. The fact that Zhang Shuo was able to study a theoretical framework on his own and was recognized by Professors Yan Ming and Feng Ruhui actually speaks volumes.

Many people think so, including Gao Hongli, Shi Qiuling, Xu Jianming, and even the director Wu Jianning.

Tan Zhiming is definitely not included. The CP group is Tan Zhiming's hard work. He hopes that the CP group will continue to conduct research in the original direction instead of modifying the equipment to conduct other experiments.

He said to the people around him, "How convincing can the theory I created be?"

"Doing experimental research and creating a theory yourself? Is this just playing house according to a script?"

“Does this theory have international recognition?”

“Is the theory sound?”

"What does he think of this experimental project!"

Yan Ming was two rows away from Tan Zhiming. He was immediately dissatisfied after hearing this, "Experimental research still needs perfect theoretical support? Academician Tan, what you said is not right, is it?"

"In the field of high-energy physics, which theory is complete? Now that the standard model of particles is complete, do we still need to do experiments?"

Tan Zhiming did not expect Yan Ming to refute him in person. He immediately replied angrily, "The standard model of particles is not perfect, but it is recognized internationally."

Yan Ming immediately asked back, "So your experimental research can only imitate that of foreign countries? If it is internationally recognized, you will do it, and if it is not internationally recognized, you will not do it?"

“What’s the point of such research?”

Tan Zhiming was about to say something, but Yan Ming did not give him a chance. Instead, he said directly, "Any theory that has not been disproven by experiments is likely to exist."

"This is a basic rule of theoretical physics!"

"I specialize in string theory. I think the theoretical framework created by Professor Zhang Shuo is perfect. In fact, it is more inclusive than string theory in terms of its fundamentals. I don't think there is any problem."

"Academician Tan, if you think it is inappropriate, you can refute it academically!"

"Or, you can come up with a better theory to prove that the research direction you want is correct!"

Tan Zhiming's face turned red after hearing what he said.

Yan Ming said it very bluntly. What he meant was that if you think it is wrong, you can refute it theoretically.

If you can find a theoretical loophole or come up with a more convincing content, people will naturally listen to you.

Tan Zhiming didn't know what to say for a moment.

Academic rebuttal?
He is a scholar doing experimental physics research. How can he refute a physical theory?
Not to mention, he didn't understand at all!

This is not surprising.

The number of people who could understand the content at the scene could be counted on one hand, mainly because theoretical physics requires too much basic knowledge. If there is one field that is not involved, they may not understand it.

Tan Zhiming certainly knew how "academic" theoretical physics was, and he was also shocked that Zhang Shuo was able to create a theoretical framework on his own.

But he still couldn't accept it.

He gritted his teeth and glanced at Yan Ming, then turned around and glared at Zhang Shuo, slammed the table, stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Next, it’s time to vote.

Things have developed to this point, and because it is a recorded vote, no one will vote against it.

Those who can understand share the same idea as Yan Ming, and those who can’t understand... they can’t even understand, so how can they oppose?
on purpose?
In the end, the new experimental direction of the CP group was passed unanimously.

……

After the meeting.

Yan Ming and Feng Ruhui surrounded Zhang Shuo.

The two of them asked Zhang Shuo a series of questions, "Professor Zhang Shuo, how did you build this framework?"

"That equation is so brilliant! How did you come up with it? It seems like the four great powers can all be substituted into it, right? If we take it a step further, it might be a unified theory!"

"That might be a theory similar to string theory... oh yeah, it's called the origin theory?"

"Nice name!"

"..."

Zhang Shuo was not surprised by Yan Ming and Feng Ruhui's reactions.

That row equation is the famous Liplos-Pamir equation, which explains the relationship between electromagnetic energy loss and force field chaos in particle experiments. The extension of the equation is the Liplos-Pamir basic gauge field.

The significance of the influence of the Liplos-Pamir equations can be compared to the Young-Mills equations and gauge theory.

How powerful are the Yang-Mills equations and gauge theory?
Murray Gell-Mann created a unique quantum concept based on the Yang-Mills theorem, and soon after he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Glashow, Salam, and Weinberg, based mainly on the Yang-Mills theorem, unified electromagnetism and weak force at the microscopic level, and for this they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.

In a sense, the Yang-Mills equations and gauge theory can be compared with the theory of relativity.

The influence of the Liplos-Pamir equation is also very great. Many physicists have developed new physical theories based on it, and the "source point theory" is just one of them, and it is also the most influential one.

Zhang Shuo only came up with a weakened expression of the equation and part of the basic gauge theory, but he was already able to receive enough praise.

He explained some of the content.

Yan Ming said seriously, "Professor Zhang Shuo, you can organize and publish these and submit them to top theoretical physics journals. I believe many people will be amazed by them."

Zhang Shuo nodded and said, "I am considering doing this. Before, I just felt that there was no experimental support, and the framework was empty."

"Enough with the framework!"

Feng Ruhui said, "Any theory starts with a framework. After you publish it, I will also conduct further research along the direction of this framework."

"That would be fun!"

“I’m really looking forward to it…”

Feng Ruhui was looking forward to what Zhang Shuo had said.

If content is published in the form of a framework, there will definitely be many people who want to 'fill in the content'.

Will these studies be the same as in previous lives?

Wu Jianning and Zhao Chunhua came over together and shook hands with Zhang Shuo respectively.

Wu Jianning smiled and said, "We have always hoped that the CP team can find its direction again, and now it has finally found it."

"Now the research can continue, and we look forward to the new direction of your experiments."

Zhao Chunhua said, "Today's report is so wonderful. I never thought that you could create a theoretical framework by yourself. It's amazing!"

Several people walked out of the conference hall together while talking.

At the stairs, Tan Zhiming watched from afar, feeling a little sad. He had always felt that many people would oppose Zhang Shuo's joining the CP group and deciding to change the direction of the experiment.

The result was different from what he expected.

No one objects!

After thinking about it carefully, Tan Zhiming felt that his resignation as the head of the CP group was the biggest mistake. All the people who supported him were in the CP group. If he left, who would support him?

Yu Fei supports Zhang Shuo!
The Institute of High Energy Physics seems to have no place for itself...

……

Mizuki University, Center for Mathematical Sciences.

Qiu Chengwen was chatting with an old friend in the office, and also asked about the meeting issues at the Physics Center.

He invited Zhang Shuo to visit the Mathematical Research Center, and had been following Zhang Shuo's schedule. He also knew that he would go to the Physics Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics to give an experimental report.

That is the report that determines the research direction of the CP group.

The old friend he is chatting with now is one of today's external reviewers, Professor Ding Jun from Shuimu University.

Ding Jun immediately talked about the meeting, "Zhang Shuo, this young man is amazing!"

"Before the meeting, we were still saying that the new direction of the CP group had no theoretical support and would be difficult to pass. You certainly can't imagine what happened..."

“Zhang Shuo, he actually created a theoretical framework by himself. I didn’t quite understand it, but Yan Ming gave it a very high evaluation!”

"As a result, all voted in favor."

"I voted in favor, too. Anyway, it feels great..."

Qiu Chengwen listened blankly and asked quickly, "Tell me in detail, what is the theoretical framework?"

He was so surprised.

The more you understand about this kind of thing, the more surprised you will be.

Pure mathematics and theoretical physics are at the top of the academic pyramid and are truly areas that belong to geniuses.

'Mathematicians look down on physicists', but they will never look down on 'theoretical physicists'. Theoretical physics can be regarded as a branch of mathematics.

The threshold for theoretical physics is really too high.

Even if you are just doing basic research, you need a lot of knowledge accumulation.

The mathematics used in theoretical physics includes calculus, mathematical physics methods, group theory, calculus of variations, Hilbert space, second-order linear ordinary differential equations, Bessel function, Dirac delta function, Green's function, norm, integral equations, the application of number theory in inverse problems in physics and basic equations of arbitrary-dimensional space, etc.

The mathematical fields involved in this subject are broad and in-depth, and not everyone is qualified to study them.

It’s even more difficult in China.

Most domestic scholars in the field of theoretical physics study the standard model of particles, or their main direction is quantum physics, and theoretical physics is only a side study.

Scholars like Yan Ming who specialize in string theory are very rare.

This is mainly due to environmental factors.

Theoretical physics is more difficult than pure mathematics. Pure mathematics can solve some mathematical problems, but what can theoretical physics study?

String theory?
Explain eleven-dimensional space?

Dimensional universe?

Many scholars regard pure theoretical physics as "metaphysics", and it is extremely difficult to apply for research funding.

String theory is also being studied by a large number of foreign scholars, but it is also difficult to come up with results.

If you are looking for a unique research direction, it’s just like what Tan Zhiming said - is it internationally recognized?

Qiu Chengwen shook his head in thought. He also found it incredible that Zhang Shuo had created a theoretical framework on his own.

"Amazing!"

"To be able to do this..."

While he was thinking, his assistant Wang Kai suddenly rushed in, shouting, "Academician Qiu, big news, big news!"

"what happened?"

Qiu Chengwen stood up in shock.

Wang Kai took a deep breath, held up two fingers and said, "New Advances in Mathematics, new issue, two papers!"

"They were all published by Professor Zhang Shuo, and they are all research on the methodology of the NS equation!"

"One is about split conversion, and the other is about discrete analysis!"

"Combined with the previous computational simulations..."

“Many people say that Professor Zhang Shuo has completed all the research on numerical simulation of the NS equations!”
