Chapter 171: Mail
Anton Hillman von Schiff was a sixty-six-year-old man with a Ph.D. in physics and a Ph.D. degree, and although his head was full of children, his dark red eyebrows and mustache were thick and thick, and his nose was red, like a well-nourished fat baby, and his whole body was radiant. At first glance, it looks like the owner of a beer house.
However, his IQ is much higher than that of the owner of the beer house. The first person in the physics department of the University of Munich became a disciple of Heisenberg when he returned to Munich in 1958, and after Heisenberg's death, he inherited his mantle and led the physics department of the University of Munich to move forward.
Professor Schiff is not only a master of theoretical physics, but also of experimental physics, and thanks to his efforts and the efforts of his disciples, the Department of Physics at the University of Munich has long been at the world's first-class level.
Professor Schiffer's teacher was Heisenberg, Heisenberg studied with Sommerfeld and Wien at the University of Munich, while Wien studied with Helmholtz, Hermann von Helmholtz was the first president of the Imperial Institute of Physical Engineering in Charlotteburg, and the Helmholtz Society named after him is the largest research group in Germany.
Given his illustrious background, high academic attainments, and the high status of the physics department at the University of Munich, the number of students who apply to study with him every year is of course very large, and Professor Schifft is very strict with his students, so only a few lucky students are able to enter his tutelage every year.
After a busy day, Professor Schiff returned to his office and turned on his computer, and unsurprisingly, he received a large number of new emails, including internal contact emails from the university, doctoral dissertations submitted by him, and communication emails from the director of the CERN research center, the German particle physicist Rolf Hoyle (Note 1). Of course, there are also manuscripts sent by several top physics journals that need to be reviewed by him.
Uh-huh? Did Dyson send me an email? What did he do with me? The circle of top students in any discipline is so big, Professor Schiff and Dyson had communicated many times before, and they quickly recognized his email.
With curiosity, Professor Schiff opened the email, and as soon as he saw the beginning of the email, Professor Schiff couldn't help but stroke his forehead and smile bitterly:
"Rednose, it's been a long time since I've heard from you! How is your beer hall doing? I might be going to Europe in a few months. I'll go to you if I have time, remember to leave me some good dark beer, and of course, if Edward is with me, don't take the wine out yet. ”
It seems that the image of Professor Schiffer's beer hall owner has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Dyson first talked to him about beer for a long time before turning to the main text.
"I want to recommend a genius to you, to be honest, Edward and I are a little jealous of you! In my opinion, that genius is the best choice to study with me in Princeton, and Edward thinks the same way, the only difference between us is that Edward thinks it is more appropriate for him to study with him!"
"But this guy seems to want to study in Germany more, and I think about it, if only to teach the basics. Red Nose, your level is barely enough! That's why I've written you this letter! I'm sure you'll be willing to give me the best dark beer after reading his papers and resume!"
"His name is Lv-Qiujian, he is a student of the Department of Mathematics of Huaguo Beijing Normal University, and he obtained a PhD degree during the exchange in Princeton last semester for cracking the Poincaré conjecture, and he also has quite unique insights into physics, and there are also his articles on arXiv, you can check them out!"
"By the way, in my opinion, he is the most likely young man to become a bird in the last twenty years, and you must not miss his email!" First, prepare the wine; Don't let Edward find out! See you in a few months!"
Professor Lv-Qiujian?Schiff repeated the name, which was a bit laborious for him, and because of the rigor of the German, he did not believe the genius assessment in Dyson's email until he had read his article.
Just as he was about to log on to arXiv to search for Lu Qiujian's article, a new email arrived! Seeing Edward Witten's familiar email name, Professor Schiff put arXiv aside for the time being.
Edward Witten's emails were much more formal. First of all, he introduced in detail Lu Qiujian's performance in Princeton, and his understanding and views on physics revealed when communicating with him, and then attached a list of Lu Qiujian's papers on physics on arXiv, and finally pointed out that Lu Qiujian was a very talented young man, and if he could be taught by Schiff, it would not be long before he could achieve remarkable achievements.
What kind of young man is this guy? He can get a recommendation letter from Witten and Dyson at the same time, and he can gain the trust of both of them. Why did he apply for my PhD again? Hurft also understood his situation, and he was not conceited enough to think that he had surpassed Dyson and Witten in physics.
With this question in mind, Xu Fu opened arXiv, followed the prompt in the email just now, and began to search for the name of Lv-Qiujian, and then swooped to show the results.
The arXiv search page showed 25 results per page, and Xu Fute's eyes widened to see that the number of articles published by Lu Qiujian had exceeded two pages!
Didn't Edward say that he was only 20 years old?
Screening out the part about physics in Lu Qiujian's article, there are still about a dozen articles left, "Some Thoughts on Soliton Solutions in Supergravitational Equations", Schiff nodded slightly when he saw this topic, judging from the name, this article still tries to analyze physics problems from a mathematical point of view, which is consistent with his background in the Department of Mathematics.
Of course, it is impossible to write such an article without a certain physical foundation, and Professor Schiff downloaded the article and studied it, and the issues involved in this article by Lu Qiujian are newly discovered achievements in the second superstring revolution in 95-98, which is still a relatively cutting-edge field.
The only thing that made Schiff a little depressed was that his level of mathematics seemed to be inferior to Lu Qiujian, and many details in the paper had to be considered for a long time to figure out the general meaning.
It was easy to read the whole article, and before Professor Schiff could make an evaluation, the email prompt sounded again. (To be continued.) )
PS: Note: Rolf Hoyle is the current director of CERN, who was not found in 04, so he had to be replaced;
It seems that the fourth shift will be released at nine o'clock in the evening.
