Chapter 1152

If there is any hot word in physics in 2023, it must be "1.25".

The research of high energy physics has always been on the proof of the existence of high-dimensional space, and according to the explanation of gravity and other interactions in the add phenomenological model, the world we see may be stuck to a "wall" in the extra dimensional space, while the electrons, protons, photons and all other particles in the standard model cannot enter the extra dimension, only gravity Field lines can extend into extra dimensions.

However, the discovery of Z particle gives a new explanation to the theory based on the phenomenological model.

That is to say, although the world we see is stuck on one wall of the extra dimensional space, the electrons, protons, photons and all other particles in the standard model are not unable to enter the extra dimension, but they may exist in a part of the curly extra dimension themselves. What we observe is only their projection in the three-dimensional world.

If this conclusion is true, it will be able to effectively explain the prediction that "Newton's anti square law will deviate in the range of sub millimeter" made before in the physics field - that is, when the distance between two objects is sub millimeter, the interaction and distance between them will no longer follow the relationship of anti square.

This is just one of the many achievements of Z particle.

With the discovery of this super heavy high-dimensional particle, the whole physics field has been led to a new field. And that's what excites countless physicists.

At the moment, they are facing not only an undeveloped new continent, but also countless treasures hidden deep in the jungle

At the same time, the great event that caused a sensation in the physics field has not only attracted the attention of the people in the physics field.

Because that prediction, which was put at the end as "egg", raised the topic of the whole report meeting to a higher level. Even a lot of ordinary people who don't know about physics are shocked by the information revealed in the sentence "land boat".

Speed of light!

It has always been considered impossible.

Although I don't know how the land boat made such a bold prediction, the thought of the future depicted by that prediction still makes many people's hearts a little bit fascinated.

What is the world beyond light years?

Many people began to think about it seriously.

So far, the debate about 750 GeV characteristic peak has finally come to an end. All the voices who had vehemently opposed imcrc's experiment fell into silence without exception.

Lu Zhouhua spent two days sorting out the contents of blackboard writing in that report meeting and published them in the main journal of the latest issue of the future.

The other two top journals, science and nature, have also set up "highights" for this paper, and the research results are briefly described by Nobel Prize scholars engaged in related fields.

Generally speaking, only the most important research results can get this treatment.

No matter how you think about it, this paper on Z particle will undoubtedly match the word "most important". At least this year, physicists all over the world are busy

……

Caltech.

Looking at the journal in his hand, an old man with white beard and no hair is holding a pen, sitting at his desk, watching it quietly, and calculating it meticulously on the rough paper.

The turning of the page became slower and slower, until the third to last page, the weight of his face gradually turned into a touch of surprise, and as his open mouth continued to enlarge.

It was a long time before he came out of his mouth with a string of short, broken sentences.

“…… It's unbelievable. "

"There are people who can use mathematical tools to this extent."

“…… It's a genius! "

Barry Barish, that's his name. In addition to his name, he has numerous titles like the initiator and project director of LIGO program, Professor of Physics Department of Caltech, etc.

At this moment, another person standing next to the bookshelf in his office is not small.

His name is Kip Thorne. He is now a professor of Feynman's theoretical physics at Caltech. He is also one of the world's top scientists in the field of astrophysics under general relativity. He once served as a scientific consultant for Nolan's film star crossing.

The three won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2017, including Rena Weiss of MIT, because they shared the prize of 9 million SEK for the study of gravitational waves.

Taking back his index finger from the bookshelf, Thorne accidentally glanced over Barish. "He's a genius. Many people already know that. I'm more surprised that you can understand his mathematical argument."

"It's a little difficult, but you can read it a few more times," he said, taking off his presbyopic glasses on the bridge of his nose and rubbing some of his sour eyes. "I happened to have studied his unified theory of algebra and geometry some time ago. It's a little basic."Thorne said unexpectedly, "you even studied that thing?"

"Many physics students at Caltech are studying on their own. Our hometown must learn to keep pace with the times, or we will be caught up by the young people," Barrish continued with a smile. "Of course, I am mainly for the research of gravitational waves. Whenever we make any new progress in mathematics, we can always find some in high-energy physics What's new. "

"And did you find it?"

Said Barish with a dry cough.

"Any major discovery will take time It can't be that fast. "

"That's true, but some people can always violate these common sense," said Thorne with a sigh and a little gloating. "Brookhaven National Laboratory is definitely not worried now. It has voluntarily quit the large-scale scientific research project that more than 50 research institutes all over the world are involved in, and they are not named in the research institutes that can be named now. ”

Barish said with a smile: "it's mainly their spokesmen who are too full of words. If it's me, even if they don't like the experiment of 750 GeV characteristic peak, they won't have any room for maneuver."

Of course, it may not be too painful to speak standing up. After all, no matter what beautiful words are said, there is no cost from the perspective of outsiders.

Thorne: what do you think they will do

"Deal with the person in charge and find a step down? After all, standing so high, they must be cold now. Now, the prestige of the land boat in imcrc has reached its peak. Let alone the overhead Council, I'm afraid that the Council will be revoked directly. It is estimated that a large number of physicists will follow him. "

Thorne couldn't help asking: "well Can no one stop him? "

Said Barish, looking at him strangely.

"Why stop it? Even the 750 GeV pit can't bury his myth. What else can we do? How many people are not sure to make some achievements in their own fields in their whole lives. Since they can see new physics when they follow him, why not do so? "

It's better to ask him to be so arbitrary. He can make such a great achievement in such a short time. Even if he has searched the history of physics, there are only two names he can think of.

Unless, a major failure.

Otherwise, nothing can stop him.

If there is a God in physics, he is now. Everyone didn't believe there was a particle, but he did, so there was.

"That's what you said," I don't know if it's because of something. After a moment's silence, Thorne decides to turn away from the previous topic. "Speaking of it, he hasn't won the Nobel Prize, has he? I remember correctly... "

Barish shook his head: "you must be wrong. He won the Nobel Prize in 2018, but he won the chemistry prize. It seems that the research on the electrochemical interface structure has opened up a reliable calculation method. "

Thorne could not help but scold and say: "this guy is just a change. State..."

"I don't deny that just a few months ago, he solved the" grand unified theory of mathematics ", and then used it in the papers on hyperspace theory and boat particles within a few months," Barish said with a smile. If Nobel had set up a mathematics prize, he would have to monopolize all the medals in recent years. "

Thorne: "I think with his achievements, he deserves the last two physics medals What do you think of the unified theory of strong electricity? "

After hearing this, Barish and Thorne looked at each other and exchanged a look.

Although they didn't speak, the tacit understanding formed by years of cooperation in research made the two people immediately understand what they were thinking of each other at this time.

"I'm going to recommend his name."

"It seems that we want to go together."

Although two Nobel prizes are not realistic, there must be no dispute about one physics prize.

This year happens to be an odd year. The Nobel Prize in physics is awarded to the field of high energy physics according to the regular meeting.

The discovery of Z particle is undoubtedly the most significant physical discovery this year.

If even this achievement is not worthy of this honor, then what else is worthy of it?

It's almost a matter of no suspense.
