Chapter 1133

"This is not a discussion at all! I haven't said a word from beginning to end! "

"Too much!"

"Is there no one to advise him?"

"It's useless. He can't listen to it. I've stressed it many times. CERN has set up a project for the characteristic peak of 750gev and studied it for a whole year At least half a year! But what do we get out of it? God, now he's going to take this road again! "

"At least CNN is right. He is a paranoid lunatic in Science..."

The meeting clearly broke up in bad spirits.

A group of people came out of the meeting room, expressionless, even angry, and talked at the same time.

Noting the indignant expression on the face of Professor whittle, a permanent member of the imcrc Council of the United States and director of the Brookhaven Institute of science, Professor Frank vilzek, who was waiting beside the elevator, hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him.

"What happened inside? Didn't the meeting just begin an hour? Why is it over so soon? "

"Meeting? Did he even put the Council in the eye? It's not a meeting at all! "

Shaking his fist and roaring loudly, Professor whittle said angrily, "I'm going back to New York to let those who have fantasies about the Chinese in the Brookhaven science society have a good look at how the Chinese show their pitiful authority at this sacred Physics Conference!"

Looking at Professor whittle, who left in a rage, Frank vilzek stood stunned.

Intuition told him that something must have happened an hour ago. Otherwise, he would not have been so angry with Professor whittle Although I don't think this guy is a good-natured gentleman.

But now he is more and more confused about what happened at the meeting

Is the Council elevated?

Not really?

……

According to Murphy's theorem, the more people worry about something, the more things will happen.

Through CERN's old friends, Professor Frank vilzek finally understood the cause of the incident. And it was because of hearing these regrettable things that his mood fell to the bottom.

In his impression, Lu Zhou is not a stubborn and arbitrary scholar. He even prefers to believe that Professor whittle and CERN's representatives misunderstood his meaning.

However, the truth is not to lie.

What made him look like this?

In the name of coffee, Frank vilzek found Witten and took him out of Rio.

In the chat, he talked about the Council meeting just concluded, sighed.

"It's a bad situation."

As if he had expected to bring the topic to imcrc, Witten didn't show much unexpected expression on his face, just raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh?"

Frank vilzek took a sip of coffee, recounted the conversation with Professor whittle at noon to Witten, and shook his head pessimistically.

"What I'm most worried about is that it happened. From the beginning, imcrc didn't show a cooperative attitude. I admit that his academic prestige of completing the unified theory of strong current may have surpassed most people Even me, but that shouldn't be the reason why he messed up. "

After listening to frank vilzek, Witten pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "maybe he found something we didn't find in 750gev."

"No way, my old friend, you know better than anyone how difficult it is. Why would you say such a thing?" Vilzek shook his head and said, "what's more, I worked with him on this project for a period of time. At first, I believed that he could do it, and even tried to help him gain the experimental authority of LHC. I didn't break up with him until I found that it was an idle work. I know better than anyone else that this road is impossible! "

"What do you think is the reason why he insists on doing it?" Witten asked

Frank vilzek: "anger at failure? Inflated self-confidence? Or stubborn? Or eager to show your authority in physics? No matter for which reason, it is not advisable to do research with such a mindset. "

Witten smiled and shook his head.

"It's going to come up with the idea that you don't understand him at all."

If it's someone else, that's true.

But for a scholar who is eager for truth from his heart, this idea is too superficial.

Throughout the year, weiteng has met a lot of people.

Among them, there are those who enjoy fame and wealth and those who are indifferent to fame and wealth. Among them, the land boat is undoubtedly the most special It was also the most surprising thing for Witt.He is not completely indifferent to fame and wealth. He will be angry when he is framed and happy when he gets bonus and honor. But neither honor nor money is what he really pursues. And what really drove him forward seemed to be just curiosity about nature and mystery in the universe.

This pure is quite valuable, often only appears in the great man.

I dare not say the whole physics world, but I only say the words of the scholars I have seen

Perhaps, he is the purest of them.

"Oh?" Frank vilzek's eyebrows were picked, and his tone was a little discontented. "Witten, I know you have a good relationship with him, but I hope you can recognize the reality in this big right and big wrong. Especially in the position of a friend, you'd better persuade him if you can, rather than watching him go further and further on the wrong road. "

"What is a mistake?"

The spoon stirred the coffee, and Witten smiled and continued slowly.

"And what is right?"

"We know so little about the universe that we understand and explain less than one percent of what we see. Strictly speaking, there is no concept of right or wrong in physics, only the difference between complete and incomplete. Especially after the birth of quantum mechanics, we have realized this more deeply -- "

Frank vilzek:" this is sophistry, why do we waste time in a direction that has proved to be failure? CERN has invested hundreds of millions of dollars! And those things that can't be measured by price at all. Now we need to spend a whole year to go over this impassable road again! "

"Because some people think it works," Witten continued quietly looking at vilzek. "Maybe it's because he found something new, maybe it's because the original CERN didn't understand his paper correctly, even if it's just a flash of intuition I think that's a good reason. "

"The exploration of the standard model is to look for a needle in a haystack, and physics is far more than the standard model. No matter which direction we go, we will face the same problem in the end Why don't you believe him once? At least he never let us down. "

Vilzek:

Does this mean that we should all be resigned to fate?

It's too optimistic.

"I know what you're worried about," Witten said with a smile as he looked at the silent vilzek. "Don't worry, if there is nothing in the end, I will try to persuade him to realize his problems in time If I can. "

"For now, let's trust his judgment."
