What is the point of investing tens of billions of dollars in thousands of the world's top scientists to build huge machines that are close to the limits of human science and technology to find a tiny particle that may exist?

In 1905, people did not understand the meaning of the theory of relativity, but today our lives are all affected by it, from satellite positioning systems and nuclear power plants to mobile phone maps and portable networks, a hundred years later, our lives are enriched by the emergence of the theory of relativity.

Science is responsible for exploring the laws of the world, engineering is responsible for studying how these laws can be applied, and our civilization is developing rapidly because of the deepening exploration of the laws of the world.

Newton discovered the three laws of mechanics, and then people could guide the design and manufacture of sports machinery such as trains and ships through these laws; Einstein's mass-energy formula made human beings use energy to a higher level.

In 1590, Galileo Galilei dropped two iron balls at the Leaning Tower of Pisa to reveal the truth about the movement of free fall, and today, we come to the airport, get on the plane, sleep on the plane, and open our eyes to the city where Galileo did his experiments, which is the most intuitive reward of scientific experiments.

To understand the great significance of the Higgs boson, we must first know a term - Standard-Model, which translates to the Standard Model, which is a set of theories describing the three fundamental forces of strength, weakness and electromagnetism, and the elementary particles that make up all matter. It falls under the umbrella of quantum field theory and is compatible with quantum mechanics and special relativity. So far, almost all the results of experiments on the above three forces have been consistent with the predictions of this theory.

This is one of the most concise and accurate descriptions of the truth of the universe that mankind has summed up after countless generations of exploration up to the current stage of civilization, and the Higgs boson is the last piece of the puzzle missing from the Standard Model.

Although this model still has many flaws. For example, there is no gravitational force involved, and there is no satisfactory explanation for the breaking of weak electric symmetry, etc., but if the Standard Model is finally confirmed, it means that mankind's understanding of the truth of the universe has entered a new stage, and physicists can continue to explore higher levels of truth on this basis, and engineers can use this as a basis to build machines that were unimaginable to mankind before, bringing earth-shaking changes to the whole world.

That's why the Higgs boson is so valued, and people spend so much money, manpower, and energy to find it; from the perspective of the development of human civilization as a whole, what is 10 billion dollars?

The wood of the hug, born in the end of the millimeter, the nine-story platform. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Although the goal is great, it is also necessary to go step by step in a down-to-earth manner, and Lu Qiujian has now started a busy and intense work with Dr. Evans.

Ah, my current job is a bit like Magath's assistant coach Eichkorn, CERN spends a lot of money like Bayern, one is to build the LHC, the other is to build a luxury roster, and these investments are for a certain purpose, Bayern is for the league title, the European Champions Cup. CERN, on the other hand, was for the discovery of the Higgs boson.

Magath's job is to keep the players in shape, develop the right tactics for the opponent and ensure victory, and Echkoen assists him in these tasks, Evans's job is to maintain the LHC and develop the experimental plan according to the purpose of the experiment, and Luciujian's job is to assist him in developing the plan.

"Lu, has Lafayette's report been handed in? If not, you can rush him immediately! If his report is not completed, there is no way to negotiate the supply of electricity with Switzerland and France!" Evans looked up from his computer. Even though he had just gone through countless reports and documents, there was no trace of exhaustion in his voice.

"It's been handed in, but there are a few details that are not handled properly, and I'm in the process of revising it! You'll be able to see it in about seven minutes!" Lu Qiujian replied without looking back as he tapped his fingers on the keyboard.

"Good! We've got to get this done by the weekend! it's too late to be responsible!" Evans praised. He is very satisfied with Lu Qiujian's work, not only can he complete his work efficiently and accurately, but also help others speed up the progress of work. At the same time, he also helped himself revise the task assignment plan, which improved the work efficiency of the whole team by 20%.

"Don't worry, according to the current progress, we can complete it ahead of schedule!" Lu Qiujian said firmly, the plan he helped Evans revise was finally adjusted after his comprehensive consideration of various factors such as the ability, personality, and relationship between the group members;

With this effort, Lu Qiujian can easily win the position of human resources director in any of the world's top 500 companies, not to mention that he can find out the shortcomings in the reports submitted by team members and make changes based on his study and observation during this time.

Evans is now the most relaxed person on the team, he just needs to read the report given to him by Lu Qiujian, and then sign the consent and submit it to the committee!

It's amazing to have such an assistant! I really envy that guy Hurft can find such a good student, Evans let out the same emotion as Higgs, Witten and others.

He will be able to graduate in two years! Then invite him to work at CERN after graduation! Anyway, he is old, and he should retire in a few years, and if he takes over as him, LHC will definitely play a greater role! The Higgs boson is far from all the purpose of the LHC, and there are many important tasks such as dark matter exploration that need to be completed by it, and I only need to find the Higgs boson during my tenure! Let Lu lead the team to complete the rest of the work!

Without waiting for Sunday, when all the experimental protocols had been prepared, Lu Qiujian sent the last document to Evans, and then came to him, "According to my calculations, if everything goes well, we will find a significant increase in the yield of two-photons from the data fed back by the detector from Mγγ = 125GeV, which is conclusive evidence of the existence of the Higgs boson!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Woo woo, the debt is finally within 20! Sprinkle flowers to celebrate, and work hard to pay off the debt as soon as possible!
