Walk into the coffee shop.

Sitting by the window, Lu Zhou beckoned Wang Peng to wait for him, and then looked at Professor Milo sitting opposite him.

"Anything to drink?"

"As long as it's ice."

Lu Zhou nodded, then looked at the waiter and ordered two cups of iced coffee.

Then he looked at Professor Milo and asked.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand how 53% of the mass expansion relates to The spirit of the universe in your mouth has something to do with it? "

"You're the first one to ask me this question," Professor Milo continued, glancing at the boat in an unexpected way. "Most people's first reaction is that I'm talking crazy and talking about mysterious and unreliable theories."

"There's no essential difference between what I think and what they think," continued Lu, shrugging his shoulders. "My curiosity is purely a connection between the two."

Professor Milo did not speak at once, but groped for a while.

This action made Wang Peng standing beside him highly nervous for a while, and his right hand couldn't help but put into his purse.

However, the professor from the United States didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He just found a notepad and a signing pen in his inner pocket.

"Since you are good at mathematics, I'll show you the proof of mathematics."

Looking at his movements with interest, the boat made a gesture of please.

"I agree with you. Seeing can be deceitful, but mathematics can't be deceiving."

Without any comment on this sentence, Professor Milo quickly wrote down a line of calculation on the note paper with his signature pen.

[Mn = m0-4c1m π 2 + O (m π 3)]

"this is the nucleon mass obtained by chiral extrapolation, M0 ≈ 880 MeV; C1 ≈ - 1gev-1; m π 2 is the mass square of π meson..."

From the hands of the service took his own coffee, said Lu calmly.

"So? I'm not here to listen to you. "

"Please don't worry, I just want to confirm the basic concept, so as to better elaborate my point of view."

Professor Milo cleared his throat and continued, "according to this formula, we can clearly find that most of the masses of visible matter in the universe can be explained by pure quantum chromodynamics without introducing quark mass In addition to the 7% part, it can't be explained for the time being. They may come from standard models, or from statistical errors, but it's not a big problem. "

Lu Zhou nodded his head. He didn't say anything. He just waited quietly for him to continue.

“…… However, recent experiments have completely overturned all my previous guesses. When I think that the collision of larger energy levels will reveal to us the secret of 7%, we surprisingly find that the 7% has disappeared. "

"Not only that, but we have even 53% more mass in our observation system that can't explain the source!"

"It's amazing, isn't it? It makes sense that we should have seen less than it actually has. However, the fact is that we see more than it actually has, to a proportion that cannot be ignored! "

"Think about it. We have to introduce a negative mass particle to conserve both sides of the equation. The original perfect universe is like a piece of plasticine, which is pinched in an invisible hand and kneaded arbitrarily -- "

" perfection is just a subjective judgment, "Lu Zhou interrupted him, saying," I never think the universe is perfect. "

"Is it? Ha ha, maybe! If I tell you that I saw the ghost - well, it's weird to say that. I don't think it's any good except to make you think I'm crazy. "

Isn't it?

Subconsciously, Lu Zhou was confused, but he didn't show it on his face.

After a few seconds, Professor Milo suddenly lowered his head and scribbled down several lines of calculation and handwriting on the paper.

After all this, he folded it carefully and put it in front of the boat.

"Bold hypothesis and careful verification are the experiences that we can sum up from the history of physics until now. Just as we perceive the existence of gravity from the falling apple, scientific thinking enables us to get rid of ignorance and learn to summarize the development law of things And let us forget our own smallness. "

"You know what?"

"The universe is like a game that has been designed, and it usually responds to our expectations. Until one day, the parameters we input to it finally exceeded its threshold, and it finally failed to respond to our expectations for it. All scientific theories have collapsed at this singularity, and there is no law for the development of all materials. ""Collisions of more than 5 TEV smash not only mass conservation, but also the whole physics."

The boat looked at him in silence.

He now probably knows why the gifted young scholar is in a state of paranoia - even madness.

Physics is a subject that studies the most general laws of matter movement and the basic structure of matter. Now their discovery reveals to them that the universe is in fact irregular.

It's not so scary if it's just a physical theorem that's been overturned, but it obviously touches something closer to its origin.

That is the so-called truth itself.

This boat, which explores the truth of the universe, is being dragged into a swamp by an invisible hand.

Now, the land boat finally understood why this matter would develop into a system that had to come out and give him the degree of [urgent task].

To be honest, if he had not heard the voice from the void, he would have been more at a loss than Professor Milo at this moment.

“…… The universe itself is irregular. Our ignorance and insignificance make us wishful thinking that the sky we see at the bottom of the well is the whole sky. "

"It's like an invisible ghost hovering in this universe. It plucked the apple from the tree, stretched out its hand and strangled Schrodinger's cat, so that light can be a particle or a wave, manipulating everything at will But we also want to explain its behavior with some lame and self serving theories. "

As he spoke some chilling words, Professor Milo's pupils, which were gradually bloodshot, suddenly opened a little.

His index finger tapped on the note and he lowered his voice.

"This is my prediction, dear Professor Lu."

"The phenomenon of mass expansion in the high energy region is irregular. We have been doing a very stupid thing in the past half century."

"In half a month we will start the experiment again, and soon you will prove me right."

"It's all arranged."

After saying this, Professor Milo stood on the table with both hands and took the step of six people who didn't recognize each other. Under the surprised eyes of countless people, he stumbled away.

……

It can be seen that the result of that experiment hit him hard.

No matter in the spiritual sense or in the physiological sense.

After the meeting with Professor Milo, Lu Zhou returned to the car and sat in the back row without saying a word, looking at the note paper in his hand, as if thinking about something.

Looking at Lu Zhou in the rearview mirror, Wang Peng hesitated for a moment and said.

"That professor is..."

"Faith collapses."

Wang Peng: "...?"

Lu Zhou: "if one day I talk to you about your mathematics, physical chemistry and even Chinese from childhood to University It's all fake. How would you feel? "

Although Professor Lu is not the first time to ask such strange questions, which he has been used to for a long time, this time it seems more difficult than usual.

Wang Peng thought for a long time, with a delicate expression on his face.

"I can't imagine In any case, Chinese can't be fake. "

"I'm just giving you a popular example. After all, you didn't systematically learn too much color dynamics, nor spend most of your life writing papers, like people revealing the original appearance of nature."

Sighed softly, the boat thought for a while, and continued.

"Let me give you another example. Let's say that one day the man you admire most, from a saint to a devil who does nothing evil, or something like that, pushes the world to the brink of destruction."

Wang Peng said without hesitation.

"It's impossible."

"Is it?" "I don't think it's possible. But you should be able to think about what kind of disaster it might mean to you if something like this happens. "

"That's what happened to Professor Milo. What he had always thought was impossible and firmly believed in was happening right in front of his eyes."

"What has been studied in the past 20 years has become waste paper, and physics and life have lost their meaning."

"In this sense, sometimes science is more than just an idea."

"It's also a belief."

……

Professor Milo has been suspended.

This is also the doctor's advice.

In any case, he's not in a position to participate in the study.

In particular, he not only affects himself, but also affects other people in the project team.

At first, Lu Zhou thought that such a situation might make the young genius feel unacceptable.

However, to his surprise, after hearing imcrc's suggestions for treatment, he was unexpectedly calm, even when he packed up and left the office, his face was very relaxed."Well, I finally have time to plan the trip I've always wanted to start."

After leaving this sentence, he said goodbye to his colleagues one by one and then left his office.

For some reason, Lu Zhou paid special attention to Professor xiamiluo. Interestingly, the physics professor did not leave Shanghai immediately, but still lived in the single apartment which imcrc prepared for him.

It seems that he is not so sure about his guess. It seems that he intends to wait until the end of the next experiment to see if he is right.

However, it also made the land boat feel a little more uneasy.

Because it means that all his conclusions are made in a sober state.

At the same time, Lu noticed that during this period of suspension, Professor Milo had been updating his blog. Objectively, his literary talent is really good. He can show the boring physics theory in the form of easy to understand, so he has also gained many fans - or believers.

In this way, half a month has passed in the turbulence of the whole physics.

Imcrc finally waited for the next experimental cycle.

This time, Lu Zhou personally stood at the scene of the ground command center.

It's not for some necessary academic purpose, he just wants to use his own eyes to confirm whether all this is just a strange Wulong or a real discovery subverting physics.

He kept squeezing and unclamping his fists, pacing back and forth in the hall of the ground command center for several circles. Finally, he waited for the moment when the result came out.

The data presented on the screen also opened his eyes subconsciously.

The strange scene reappeared!

After the collision of two lead ions in the high-energy region, not only the mass loss did not occur, but also some more!

The voice of the ground command center is so loud that people can't believe to open their eyes and exchange their uncertain sight. They are talking in a low voice, nervous or even excited way.

The expression on Lu Zhou 's face was calm, but slightly stiff.

It was the first time he felt the situation so difficult.

Subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, he took the note paper out of his pocket and unfolded it.

Looking at the above content, he whispered a sentence.

"You guessed it."

The extra mass is no longer 0.53 lead ions.

It's 0.71.

It's not just that.

The data collected by the four detectors through the non resistance experiment is surprisingly highly consistent
