Chapter 254: The Successor of the Chinese Scientific Community
As she spoke, Karen once again extended her hands to James, "Happy working together, Dr. James." ”
James hesitated slightly, but finally stretched out his hand to shake him: "Happy cooperation." ”
When the two were negotiating, Herman consciously went to the corner, until the two shook hands, then came back again, and said with a smile: "Very good, the future of the United States is in your hands, I can almost see the day when the United States breaks this damn nuclear balance and dominates the world!" ”
James was in a complicated mood and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, and Karen smiled mysteriously. Only Herman's laughter is so sincere, even fanatical.
"Click......"
The flash light sounded in the room, and this scene was frozen in the photographer's camera lens that had been prepared for a long time next to it.
With the progress of history, this scene, which represents the scene in which the theory of energy particles has really entered the scientific community and really exerted its influence, will always be mentioned......
Around the same time, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), located in the western part of Geneva, Switzerland, bordering the French border and in the underground part of the two countries, is also conducting some tests on the theory of energy particles.
It is an international research centre with a preeminent position in the field of particle physics, the first joint research institute in Europe, funded by 20 member states. It is the first research institution in human history to discover the existence of antimatter, and since the completion of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2008, its main focus has been on the discovery of the Higgs bose particle, which is also known as the God particle.
However, behind this research institute, there are also some hidden forces, although they are usually invisible, but when this force is exerted, even these pure scientists have to succumb to this pressure and carry out the theoretical research of energy particles that they disdain, "almost theological absurdity".
They even used the Large Hadron Collider to hit some special particles.
The full-section elastic scattering detector will then capture the particles that result from the collision of these particles.
By this time, the three-day particle collision experiment had ended, and the detector results in the special vacuum chamber of the "Romanpot" had been exported for analysis.
And these results have added some solemnity to the originally disdainful scientists.
"I think we have to add energy particle theory to our research." Professor Antonio, a deputy director of the European Institute for Particle Physics, looked at the data thoughtfully.
The analysis of these data is very complex, but it is not a problem to come up with a rough result when the energy particle theory has predicted and clearly stated.
Of course, the specific situation still needs to wait until the analysis report is fully released. Now scientists are just doing psychological construction: well, at least psychological preparation.
Well, it must be noted that in addition to this, the help of certain religious figures who are considered by scientists to be pretending to be gods and ghosts has also contributed a lot. In fact, the first observational data on the value of energy grains were provided by these religious figures. This is true even in Fermi and Stanford in the United States. It's just that their relevant data is taken out independently, and the scientists are not aware of it. Scientists in Europe, on the other hand, are aware of the data on energy particles provided by religious figures.
It must be said that this has caused scientists to mutter: Is God really there? No, no, no, these people who believe in God should just happen to have mastered some skills that go beyond the existing scientific theories.
For scientists, acknowledging that believers in God also have some scientific knowledge that they do not possess, or at least scientific phenomena, is far more acceptable than acknowledging the existence of God.
Because they are scientists, people who are inherently opposed to the existence of God.
There was once a rumor that more than eighty percent of Western scientists believe in God, as a way to prove how important and even necessary a belief is, and how miserable a person without faith is. Of course, the point is to strike at the people of an oriental country who seem to have no faith, to make them feel inferiority and to achieve some ulterior conspiracy.
But they apparently took Western prayers, pre-meal prayers, and some religious practices as evidence of faith in God. But it is clear that even atheists, such as Marx, did not fail to go to church. Does that prove that Marx was a theist or a believer? Of course not. Modern Chinese young people like to go to church for weddings, are they Christians? Naturally, it is not.
Besides, is it really that good to believe in a certain god? I don't think the women and children who died in the Crusades under the sword of the Paladins who killed innocents in the name of faith would have accepted this statement. Ordinary people will have a sense of guilt when they kill people, but people who believe in God have no guilt at all when they kill people, and just throw the responsibility on the god they believe in and kill in the name of God. So no matter how inhuman things they do, it's not surprising at all.
Not to mention, those extremists in the modern Middle East are indeed extremely religious in their beliefs, but these things are not capable of being done. The more devout you believe that there are seventy-two virgins in heaven, the more ferocious and tyrannical you are. What is the use of this belief existing?
For another example, if you confess something bad, you can treat it as if you didn't do anything bad, and you can continue to do bad things without psychological pressure, anyway, human beings are caused by original sin. What's wrong with having more sin after the original sin? Anyway, I sincerely confessed to God. What is the point of such a belief other than being reduced to a tool for the wicked to vent their psychological pressure and create more evil?
You don't see, whether in history or in literature, many guys who do all kinds of evil eat fasting and recite Buddha, and they are extremely pious, but can they do less evil? No.
On the contrary, scientists who do not believe in religion are more humanistic and humanitarian. Who came up with the idea of environmental protection? Scientist. Who is resolutely opposed to the study of nuclear weapons? Einstein. Who chose to quit because the French Ministry of Defense provided research funding for their research institutes and resolutely returned home to farm? Algebraic geometry, Pope Grothendieck.
These are irrefutable facts.
"But we're still trying to discover the Higgs bose. I don't think it's more important to study this so-called theory of energy particles than to discover the Higgs boson. When Antonio said that, one of the scientists next to him disagreed. As scientists, they don't like the nickname God Particle, and generally refer to God Particle by their official name.
"Of course it's more important. The theory of energy particles will rewrite existing physical theories, or at least a very important and powerful addition. And the discovery of the Higgs bose particle, even if it is only a verification of existing theories. It's not the same in that sense. ”
"But funders, it seems, prefer to see our research on the Higgs boson......"
"Don't worry, there will be a new and independent injection of funds for the research of the theory of energy particles. Although the owner of this fund, we are very uncomfortable. However, we are scientists and we only believe in science. Even if it is money from the Holy See, as long as it contributes to the development of science, we should accept it. Antonio said with some sighs.
"Well, in that case, I don't have a problem."
"A new era has arrived...... Antonio raised his head and said such a sentence.
The same is true for the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where the Huaguo Positron Collider Major Modification Project (BEPCII) is undergoing a new impact mission.
The major renovation of the Positron Collider is actually an upgraded version of the first generation of the Positron Collider, which was successfully completed in May 2009.
Earlier than foreign counterparts, after obtaining the theory of energy particles, under the appeal of several prestigious experts, the theory of energy particles was pre-researched through national projects.
And recently, everything has been funded, and it has officially begun to hit.
Professor Fang Hong, the leader of the research group who always pays attention to the impact scene, is talking to Professor Liu next to him.
"Lao Fang, according to the latest news, in Europe and the United States, our colleagues have verified the theory of energy particles, and the results are very optimistic."
Professor Liu is a scientist who has close ties with foreign research institutions.
Unlike other sensitive researches, particle physics is a high-precision basic research, and international cooperation is far more frequent than other research.
Therefore, although the Americans have been careful to keep secrets, Professor Liu still got the relevant information through his American counterparts and also had a general understanding of the results. It's just that I don't know the specific data.
Professor Fang nodded: "This is something that can be expected. Although this theory seems to be relatively non-mainstream at first glance, it actually has a deep practical foundation. What's more, it has produced a result that has been verified by us and the military's research institutes, and it is indeed true. At this point, I think we are ahead of our foreign counterparts. ”
Professor Liu had a happy smile on his face: "Yes, it takes a long way for a theory to go out of the laboratory and become a technology that can be realized and applied on a large scale. In terms of basic theoretical research, China is not a descendant, but in terms of practical application, we have a weak foundation and a poor foundation, but we are far inferior to foreign countries. But this time, we finally got the upper hand. ”
Basic scientific research and the use of technological research are two different things. The former can be smashed with money at any cost, but the latter must have a deep technical foundation. Therefore, the West's technological blockade of China is only aimed at practical technology, not basic theory. Of course, the basic theory can't be blocked. Especially now that the international scientific community is cooperating more and more closely, it is becoming more and more difficult to block even practical technologies, let alone basic theories.
However, being able to gain the upper hand in this area also means that China is on the same starting line as other countries in this new field, or even more advanced.
This is a time of great joy.
"A new era is coming." Professor Fang sighed: "In the past two days, there will be an exchange group, of course, it will also be an expert review team, going to the proposer of this theory, I don't know if you are interested in joining, Lao Liu?" It's still too late to add a stopper, and if everything is settled, there will be no chance. ”
"To join, of course to join! I want to see how good this excellent young man is. I hope that he will continue to achieve more, and it is time for us to pass on this burden. After all, we're all old......"
Professor Liu sighed.
"Yes, hopefully, he's a good successor......"
