Chapter 263: The future is all up to you
In the auditorium, there was a sea of people, and the seats were full.
Sitting in the audience were not only students from Shuchuan University, but also many lecturers and professors from Sichuan University, as well as people who came from the city and even further afield.
In addition to those students and professors, there are also reporters from Shudu TV.
After a crackling flash, the camera lens turned on and was facing the man on stage, and everyone held their breath as they waited for the man to speak.
Looking at the crowd of people in the audience, Liu Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Speaking of which, the last time I held a lecture, it seems that it was at Mizuki University, and that time, he recruited Professor Wu Qingquan.
It's been almost half a year now, and I don't know what he can gain this time?
Glancing at his watch, he saw that the time was almost up, so he nodded to the staff next to him and signaled that he could start.
Standing in front of the microphone and clearing his throat, Liu Feng said slowly.
"Many people have asked me that there are hundreds of millions of farmers and migrant workers in China, and there are a series of environmental protection problems, education problems, medical and health problems that need to be solved urgently, and even in many basic sciences, including chemical technology, life science, condensed matter physics, astrophysics, high-precision manufacturing industry, etc., there is still a big gap with the world's advanced level!"
"So why do we have to go to such pains to study fundamental physics, and why do we invest tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in building a super collider?"
My answer to these two questions is that scientific research should not only focus on immediate investment and short-term gains, but also have a long-term vision and the courage to face difficulties. ”
"From the perspective of human historical development, the summary of scientific and technological theories and the continuous innovation are the powerful driving forces for the continuous progress of social knowledge. ”
"For example, Newton's gravitational attraction, in the beginning, the technology at that time, not even airplanes, let alone the construction of spaceships, in addition to explaining why apples did not fly into the sky, did it have any practical significance for society?"
"However, now, satellites, spaceships, we humans have already flown into the sky and out of the earth, and the law of gravitation has become a pivotal basic law on our way to explore the universe!"
"Not to mention, in every major scientific research project, the process is even more important than the final result. Taking aircraft carrier technology as an example, in the study of aircraft carriers, our material technology has developed rapidly, our precision processing has also been perfected, our radar, our aircraft, our shipboard integration technology, and a series of major engineering breakthroughs have been made.
"The study of high-energy physics, in addition to the promotion of basic engineering, is of greater significance to the development of our nuclear fusion and even antimatter and dark matter technologies. In the case of the theory of unification......"
After a few sentences of brief description of the role of studying high-energy physics, Liu Feng picked up the marker from the lectern, turned to face the whiteboard next to him, and began to explain today's theme - the grand unified theory and subsequent development research.
Sitting under the stage with his head propped up, his eyes staring at the whiteboard drippingly, but Wu Feiyang's right hand was spinning the pen; however, one fell to the ground carelessly, and when he picked up the pen and looked at the whiteboard in front of the stage again, he found with a confused face that the lines on the whiteboard were like the equations of the heavenly book, and he couldn't understand them at all.
Looking at Liu Feng with a bewildered expression, Wu Feiyang couldn't help but ask, "What is he writing?"
Sitting next to him, Li Hongtao, who was also studying physics with him, opened his mouth, although he didn't understand it very clearly, but he finally read it from beginning to end: "It seems to be some kind of dark matter theory calculation method? I seem to have seen it in some literature." ”
Wu Feiyang: "Dark matter?, don't you mean to give some kind of popular science lectures? Can this be called popular science?"
Li Hongtao glanced at him: "Well, he is the closest contemporary boss to Einstein, if you don't talk about this, can you tell you some nonsense?"
Wu Feiyang rubbed his temples on both sides: "The question is, can anyone understand what he says about this thing?"
To be honest, for his professional level and ability, he asked himself that it was still good, after all, they all studied physics, who didn't have two shoulders and a head?
But it wasn't until this moment that he finally discovered that people's shoulders were different, and the head he carried was more enlightened than his!
Dark matter? Something that has not been discovered can be called dark matter!
The problem is, since scientists all over the world have not discovered it, it is strange that everyone can understand it if you do this!
The pen in his hand paused and paused, wanting to take some notes, but he didn't know where to start, Wu Feiyang could only look at the other people's board books helplessly.
Li Hongtao also paused, the tip of the pen seemed to be stuck to something, and looked up at the front row of the auditorium, but found that many people had pens on their faces: "It doesn't matter if we understand it or not, you look at the old professors in our physics laboratory, as long as they can understand it!"
Wu Feiyang looked in the direction of Li Hongtao's line of sight, and sure enough, several old professors over there were listening with relish, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the big guy is really a big guy, we are still far behind!"
As these two people said, in the second half of the lecture, Liu Feng's content has gone from the easy-to-understand popular science content to the core field of the grand unified theory, and even deduced to the research on how to discover some dark matter particles and how to solve some problems of antimatter.
He has already written a paper on the theory of great unification, elaborating his research results, and his paper has been published in natural and scientific journals, high-energy physics laboratories in various countries, the World Association for High Energy Physics and other organizations, and even many laboratories have compiled his paper into teaching materials as a guiding theory for follow-up research in high-energy physics.
But compared with a simple paper and the summary report made by others based on his paper, it is naturally far inferior to his incisive explanation as the author of the paper, not to mention the divergent thinking inspiration that comes later.
For researchers in the field of theoretical physics, what Liu Feng said in the lecture is definitely very helpful.
In fact, this is the reason why many professors come from other places thousands of miles away.
If it weren't for the fact that time did not permit, maybe there would have been international friends who came by plane from abroad to listen to his report.
wrote the last line of the equation on the whiteboard, and Liu Feng's explanation also entered the end.
Looking at the attentive audience, he paused, put the marker back in its place, and continued to speak.
"Our super collider in China does not need one or two, or even one or two hundred personnel, it is a big project that requires the joint efforts of thousands of researchers!"
"Sichuan University is one of the ace universities in the field of physics, and everyone here is the mainstay of our field of physics in China, I hope that all of you here can grow up as soon as possible and join in this great project; otherwise, our super collider will only be a wedding dress for others!"
"Therefore, comrades, the future great power project depends on you, come on!"
