Liu Lang is an idle man, and went to Madison Square Garden to watch a basketball game, the first game of the first round of the playoffs between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers.

In the end, the Knicks won 102-96, Ewing scored 26 points, in addition to Ewing, there was also Barkley of Philadelphia in this game, that is, the small but powerful NBA historical power forward, he scored 22 points on the inside rampage, and performed well, but the overall lack of strength still made Philadelphia lose, Barkley's career peak was not until he joined the Suns, when he won the regular season Most Valuable Player award, but he was born at the wrong time, met Jordan in the only Finals, and did not win the championship until he retired。

The other game in the East in the first round of this year's playoffs was the Bulls vs. the Cavaliers, the first game has been played, the Bulls won 95-88, the Bulls' future dynasty period of the second leader Pippen was selected by the Bulls in '87, through a season of grinding has begun to show good strength, in the first game scored 22 points, second only to Jordan's 31 points.

Liu Lang still remembers that this year's NBA championship is the Pistons, they finally defeated the Lakers led by "Magic" Johnson 4-2 in the finals, and they defeated the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, so this year the Bulls are still dormant, and the Pistons have become the bitter masters of the Bulls.

Of course, the Bulls' game was held in Chicago, and Liu Lang would not go far to see it, but Barkley of Philadelphia is also a signed player of Nike, and his influence is certainly not as good as Jordan, but Nike still created an exclusive boot for him, the designer is of course Liu Lang, this shoe reflects Barkley's strong characteristics very well, and was also given a nickname by Liu Lang "The Round Mound of Rebound", if literally translated as "rebounding ball" In the previous life, this nickname was translated into China as "flying pig", flying pig represents Buckley's strong body, and the air naturally shows that he has outstanding athletic ability.

Of course, the nickname given by Chinese fans is just a joke, and the nickname "The Round Mound of Rebound" can also reflect the characteristics of Barkley, and the other party also expresses their love for this nickname in public.

Because of this, Barkley and Liu Lang also have a good relationship, and the two clapped before the game, which attracted media attention.

Liu Lang has many identities, including the smallest engineering graduate in Stanford University's history, the owner of Shengtang Company, a famous producer and songwriter, and a major shareholder of Nike.

According to the data released by the exchange, it owns 11% of Nike's shares, making it the third largest shareholder.

Now Nike is also a well-known sports brand company in the United States, in the field of basketball and running, especially in the field of basketball, it can be said that it has surpassed the old company Converse, with many basketball stars, the most famous is of course Jordan, and the relationship between Nike and the NBA league is also very good, and the "Nike Cup" youth league has been held many times, so that the influence of basketball is getting bigger and bigger.

In the past few years, Nike's market value has been as high as 750 million US dollars, Liu Lang alone has a net worth of more than 80 million yuan by relying on Nike shares, once Shengtang Company is listed, Liu Lang's worth instantly exceeds 100 million, and at that time, he is the youngest self-made billionaire in the United States and even the world.

It can be said that Liu Lang, a Chinese child, has already conquered the United States, and even many American cults have claimed that Liu Lang is the son of God who came to save the United States, and they have relied on Liu Lang's name to deceive him......... Four years ago, Liu Lang became a household name in his country, and four years later, Americans also knew the name Jimmy Liu, and even more popular than in China back then.

In addition to watching a basketball game, Liu Lang also went to the Carnegie Theater to listen to a TED talk.

TED refers to technology, entertainment, design, that is, technology, entertainment, design, this is a private non-profit organization in the United States, the organization is known for organizing the TED conference, the purpose of this conference is to "spread all ideas worth spreading".

TED was born in '84 and its founder was Richard Thor Uman.

Every year in March and April, TED brings together many outstanding figures in science, design, literature, music and other fields in North America to share their thoughts and explorations about technology, society, and people.

Later, in the age of the Internet, TED began to play completely free of charge.

Liu Lang often watched TED talks on the Internet in his previous life, and many of the speakers were world celebrities, including Clinton, Bill Gates, British zoologist Jeanne Goodall, and famous actors and singers in Europe and the United States.

And just four years ago, Steve Jobs and one of his Apple computers were invited to the first TED conference, which was the world's first personal computer.

The TED conference also hosted several keynote speeches, including physicists, biologists and astronomers, and was a science-focused talk.

Liu Lang, Cheng Xian and Cattermor listened to this speech, and probably the three of them in Shengtang Company could understand this speech.

It was a futuristic lecture by the physicist Minami Ichiro, an island physicist, and his keynote speech was on string theory, which was definitely ahead of its time in the 80s, and it was not expected to be the theory of everything 20 years later.

Minami Meiichiro explained string theory entirely in the form of mathematical models, which seems to be very elegant, but in fact it cannot explain many phenomena, in fact, string theory was upgraded to superstring theory in the nineties before it gradually became a mainstream theory, and now, it is purely a fallacy that most physicists scoff.

The second biologist's speech was a speech on cloning, which was much more reliable, in the biologist's assumption, the future human beings will no longer have human defects, any organ can be cultivated in the laboratory, and even human genes can be modified, so that the life expectancy of human beings will be greatly improved.

I have to say that this kind of thinking is correct, although this technology was not fully realized until the era before Liu Lang's rebirth, but there are already signs, and perhaps it will be realized in the middle of the twenty-first century.

The third astronomer is called Vera Rubin, an elegant lady of nearly sixty years old, not to mention that she is a woman, but she is the first astronomer in the world to discover dark matter through a telescope, and this achievement is also very important in the history of world astronomy.

Dark matter is something that many people have never even heard of, even though more than a decade has passed since Vera discovered it, so she told people about the discovery of dark matter.

Vera was using the Kitt Peak Observatory's telescope to observe the Andromeda Galaxy, about 2.5 million light-years from Earth.

She used the Doppler effect to measure the velocity of the gas revolving around the center of the galaxy at different radii of the galaxy, and it stands to reason that the closer you are to the center, the greater the gravitational pull, and the faster the movement should be to generate enough centrifugal force to counteract the effects of gravity. Just like the closer a planet is to the Sun, the greater the rotational speed.

But Rubin found a strange phenomenon: the gas at different distances from the center of the galaxy rotates around the center at a similar speed.

She looked at other galaxies and found the same. As a result, Rubin argues that there is material in the universe that we cannot see, providing gravity for the gas scattered throughout the galaxy.

The so-called "invisible" of dark matter is not only invisible to our naked eyes in the visible light band, but also to say that no matter what band of electromagnetic waves is detected, such as infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays, etc., it cannot be seen. That is, dark matter does not emit any band of light.
