Chapter 1131: The "Great Gods" of All Parties
(The serial numbers of the first two chapters are wrong, and they have been corrected)
Professor Ding Huaizhong also gave a keynote speech at the conference, entitled "The Application of Quantum Physics in the Future World", and Liu Lang also listened to this very vivid course.
Professor Ding first elaborated on the development of quantum physics today, scientists have discovered a large number of elementary particles through experiments, these elementary particles are the basis of the real world, and at the same time, the standard particle model is gradually formed, and the standard model may be completed in a few years, the interaction in the particle standard model is a gauge field, which can be renormalized after quantization, so theoretically it can not only calculate various lowest-order processes, but also calculate its quantum correction, and can accurately predict the experiment and accept the accurate test of the experiment。
At the same time, Professor Ding also elaborated on the achievements of today's experimental physics, such as the Positron Collider (LEP) of CERN, the Positron Collider (SLC) of the United States, the Proton-Antiproton Collider (Tevatron) and some precise fixed target experiments, which have reached a few percent or higher accuracy, and the Standard Model has passed the test of these precision experiments.
In addition, he is particularly excited that CERN has begun to design and build the European Large Hadron Collider this year, located in a 100-meter-deep and 27-kilometer-long circular tunnel in the border area between France and Switzerland, at a total cost of about $10 billion, and is expected to officially start commissioning in 08.
At that time, it will become the world's highest-level collider with the ability to achieve a single stream of particles with an energy of seven trillion electron volts.
Professor Ding said that he was very excited about the construction of the large collider, because he expected that the most mysterious example could be discovered, the so-called "God particle", the Higgs particle, and once this particle was discovered, it would be a major advance in quantum physics.
After talking about these achievements, Professor Ding talked about the impact of quantum physics on the development of the world in the future.
Professor Ding talked about quantum computers at once, and he said that if quantum computers were born, the whole world would be completely changed.
Good guy, Liu Lang feels that Professor Ding's prediction is very powerful, and even computer experts dare not say that quantum computers will appear, because this technology has not even been born in theory, of course, Professor Ding also said that how to make it is a problem for computer experts.
Professor Ding's speech was wonderful, as were several other professors.
In fact, six years ago, Hawking came to China for the first time and gave an academic report on astrophysics at the University of Science and Technology, but at that time Liu Lang was still preparing for SMIC Technology Co., Ltd. The matter was not in the capital, so he missed the opportunity.
Today's Hawking is more famous than he was then, because he published "A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes" in '88, which has become the most popular physics monograph in recent years, and has been on the best-seller list of Time magazine many times.
At this time, Hawking was no longer able to speak, but he could type with his fingers, and the conference organizers specially arranged more than an hour for him to speak, starting from the study of black holes, exploring the origin and fate of the universe, and laughing at himself that this book was jokingly called "a bestseller that cannot be read" in the West, and he said that why this book can be so popular? is because the book tries to answer the subject that only theology can touch in the past, that is, whether time has a beginning, and space has no boundary.
Liu Lang has great reverence for Hawking, and it is hard to imagine that a person whose body has been completely imprisoned for decades will transcend everything, not to mention his theory, it is this perseverance and persistence that is enough to shake the entire human race.
Of course, Hawking's contribution is not only popularization, in the next 2015, he launched the largest search for extraterrestrial intelligent life in human history, the "Breakthrough Listening" program, through radio and optical technology, the search in the entire galaxy and a hundred galaxies near it, lasting ten years, and will cost 100 million dollars.
Later, in 16 years, he launched the "Breakthrough Launcher" program, which planned to build a large number of miniature interstellar ships and launch them at one-fifth of the speed of light to Alpha Centauri, the so-called "Trimaran".
These plans may seem like sci-fi, but they're real actions, and who would have thought that they were led by an old man who had been paralyzed for decades?
Hawking appeared Liu Lang immediately became a "fan brother", picked up the camera and took pictures of him for a while, after the other party's speech, Liu Lang hurriedly ran over and took a group photo with the other party, and Hawking also knew Liu Lang, and typed a few words on the bulky personal computer placed in the wheelchair: I know you, I like Buzz Lightyear.
Buzz Lightyear is the protagonist of Toy Story, and although he is a toy, he considers himself a leader of distant stars, bent on saving the planet, and dreams of flying into the universe. And he was indeed a brave explorer, a man of self-sacrifice.
This spirit of adventure is also something that Professor Hawking possesses.
Liu Lang feels that he and Hawking have the same trait, that is, the yearning for the endless universe, which has passed through the weak body of human beings, the limitations of distance and time, and even the confinement of latitude.
People may have a curiosity about the endless mysterious universe, but the vast majority of people can't put it into practice, but Hawking did it, will he be able to do it in the future?
The answer is yes, in the future, Liu Lang will definitely fight for his better dream, maybe twenty or thirty years later, forty or fifty years later, or even like Hawking, he will struggle for life, even if he dies, his career will still be inherited, and this kind of life will be meaningful.
The conference continued, followed by a lecture on biology and film art, and Lucas was invited to give a talk on the topic of special effects in film, for which ILM made a miniature clip of only ten seconds.
And it was this clip of only ten seconds that caused a climax in the meeting.
This is a special effect of Optimus Prime transformation, different from the form of the cartoon, this is completely based on 3D special effects, and on this basis, it is almost live-action special effects animation, in Liu Lang's eyes, the quality of this special effect is no less than the action special effects in the live-action Transformers movie in the previous life.
Why is it only 10 seconds? Because it is too expensive and time-consuming, just 10 seconds, ILM took a month and cost a million dollars.
But the value of this million dollars is an eye-opener for everyone, and this level of special effects has crushed all similar companies and left them far behind.
Lucas likes to see other people's stunned looks, at this moment he is the sun on the field, everyone has to look up to themselves, of course, except for the child below, to be honest, even he, the founder of industrial light and magic, could not have imagined that the special effects of the film have reached such a high level in just a few years, and Liu Lang's greatest credit is that he introduced Wan'an's computer program into the special effects, and the powerful computer technology combined with traditional movies to achieve the image spectacle that human beings had not even thought of before.
Lucas elaborated on the direction of future film development, and announced that the company will take on this important task and become the leader of modern cinema.
