Chapter 226: The Shining Stars of the Physics Profession (Added 1/28)
For the three words "unprofessional", "New North China Daily" can be described as unforgettable, last time at Beijing Normal University, Lu Qiujian slapped him with these three words, this time Liu Yuzhou was pumped to the other side of the face, this time the two sides are symmetrical!
After the review, a total of five relatively fair media reporters were selected to enter tomorrow's venue, and then Liu Yu got up and said, "I will hand over the list to the media reception department of CERN later, and ask the selected ones to be ready for training! As for those media friends who have not been selected, I want to say sorry to you, it is really that the number of places given by CERN this time is too small! If I have the opportunity next time, I will definitely give you more opportunities!"
"Mr. Liu, give me a chance to conduct an exclusive interview! Even if the interview doesn't work, it's okay to hold a press conference!" Someone immediately climbed up with anhydride, and Lu Qiujian rarely dealt with the media until now, and they secretly didn't know how many times they complained.
"I need to discuss this with Dr. Lu, and everyone has also seen that Dr. Lu is very busy, and he will even have to ask for leave to go to Bayern this week for work-study! If there is an opportunity in the future, everyone's wishes will be satisfied, and now I can only ask you to bear with me!" Liu Yuzhou of course knew that Lu Qiujian did not like to deal with the media, so he used a trick to deal with this matter.
The corners of these reporters' mouths twitched when they heard the work-study, Nima, when I was studying abroad, I was going to serve dishes and wash dishes, if anyone gave me a chance to go to Bayern to work and study, I would resign immediately!
After sending the reporters away and handing over the list to the staff of the CERN media reception department, it was already lunchtime; Liu Yuzhou wanted to go to Lu Qiujian to report to work, but after turning around, he couldn't find anyone, and after a little inquiry, he learned that Lu Qiujian had followed Professor Xu Fut to CERN to meet some old friends.
"Hey, Rednose! you lucky fellow!" Freeman Dyson gave Professor Whipft a big hug as soon as they met, and next to him stood the personable Edward Witten.
"Professor Dyson, Professor Witten. I am very happy to see that you are still healthy!" Lu Qiujian stepped forward and shook hands with them one by one.
"I heard that the LHC will soon be able to restart the trial, so we all rushed over from Princeton!" Witten explained to Lu Qiujian with a smile, "I thought I would go to Munich University after the experiment, but I didn't expect you to come here to give a lecture!"
Hey, even if you can test it, you can't verify your superstring theory! Lu Qiujian felt sorry for Witten slightly, and Witten's situation in Xianxia novels is equivalent to losing the opportunity to ascend. He still has a warm smile on his face, as if it doesn't matter if his theory fails, as long as he can see the continuous development of physics.
"Hey, Lu, Hillman!, hello!" Higgs's voice came from not far away, and when he looked back, he saw that Engler and Braut were still standing beside him.
"Professor Higgs, Professor Engler, Professor Brought, it's a pleasure to see you again!" said three more masters to this small circle in the corner of the hall.
"Stephen is here, too, everyone is waiting for the LHC to start!" Higgs was flushed with red at the moment - well, well, his face had always been ruddy. It's just that today is a little more popular! LHC is about to be launched, and Lu Qiujian has provided more efficient data analysis methods, seeing that the opportunity to preach is just around the corner, how can he not be excited!
Everyone looked in the direction that Higgs was pointing, and a wheelchair slowly drove towards them, and an old man with his hair tilted to the left of his shoulder was sitting in a wheelchair, and when he reached them, he pressed his fingers with great effort. An electronic voice came from the computer in the wheelchair, "Edward, Freeman, Peter Hillman, and Lu." Hello!"
"It's an honor to meet you, Professor Hawking!" replied Lu Qiujian, who bent down and was none other than Stephen Hawking, the most well-known physicist since Einstein.
"Are you talking about the new experiment with the LHC? I bet it won't find the Higgs boson!" Hawking has been negative about whether the LHC can detect the Higgs boson.
Although Stephen Hawking was confined to a wheelchair due to a serious illness, he not only achieved great success in theoretical physics, but also had a very colorful spare time. He played himself playing poker with Newton and Albert Einstein in Star Trek, physicist or directly in The Simpsons, Futurama and The Big Bang Theory, and collaborated on albums with the famous rock band Pink Floyd.
Betting on academic issues is also a big hobby of him, such as making bets with Pei Shiji, betting on the existence of a naked singularity, and the loser will give the other party a T-shirt to "cover the naked". Write the appropriate words to admit defeat, and whether or not the Higgs boson can be found is also a game he is passionate about.
"I think it's only a matter of time before the Higgs boson is discovered!" Joins the discussion with another scientist familiar to Luqiujian, Juan Mardasina of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
Now only 36 years old, the Argentinian theoretical physicist has a deep knowledge of general relativity and superstring theory, and his AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture is one of the most important results of superstring theory, which is also widely used in particle physics and cosmology. With this achievement, he ranks among the world's leading theoretical physicists.
Then Steven Weinberg, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in '79 for his contribution to the unified theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions between elementary particles, Gerald Te-Hooft, one of the most important theorists of the mid-to-late twentieth century and a professor at Utrecht University who had just won the Nobel Prize five years ago, and Leonard Suskan from Stanford University, one of the founders of string theory, triggered the first superstring revolution. Physicists such as Michael Green, winner of the Dirac Prize, the highest international prize in theoretical physics, and his partner John Schwartz joined the discussion.
Like two different supporters of the city's derby team, they were divided into two camps and engaged in a heated debate over whether the Higgs boson could be discovered, and the two sides were at odds with each other.
Outsiders may not understand why they quarreled, but it may be more appropriate to use the sword qi dispute of the Huashan faction to change to an easy-to-understand example, in the final analysis, it is the politics caused by different theories.
"Lu, what do you think about this?" Higgs asked just as Lu Qiujian was watching the excitement. (To be continued.) )
PS: Well, I know that Witten and Higgs are often present at CERN, others are not sure, please point out any mistakes or omissions. Thanks to the 1888 reward of Crow Eyes, thank you for the reward of Xuanyuan Changlei and Qiuqiujuno, and thank you for the monthly tickets of the floating clouds, tears and rain, feiruyun and others.
Since the areola agrees to pay off the debt, then my debt has been reduced by eleven chapters.
