Do space-time tunnels really exist?

If it had been before crossing over, Zhong Shi would have scoffed at it and dismissed it. As a top student at the California Institute of Technology, graduating at the age of 28 with a Ph.D. in astrophysics, he naturally disdains these things imagined by laymen.

The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is a prestigious university in the world, it is located in California on the west coast of the United States, founded in 1891, the whole school has less than 2,000 students from all over the world, and ranks among the top universities in the world in physics, chemistry, aeronautics, earth sciences, electrical engineering, mathematics, computer science, etc.

Unlike MIT, another world-renowned polytechnic school, Caltech is a more refined institution with a stronger scientific atmosphere. The number of gifted scientists, Nobel Prize winners per capita, published papers per capita, and the number of citations per capita are all higher than those on the East Coast.

Qian Xuesen, the famous "father of missiles" in China, once said when mentioning the difference between the two schools:

"At MIT, I don't think it's a big deal, I got my master's degree in one year, and my grades are still top-notch...... Then I transferred to Caltech, and it was a big difference...... Here, you have to think about things that others didn't think of and say things that others haven't said...... It's not okay to take small steps, you'll soon be overtaken by others......"

Zhong Shi completed his undergraduate education at Yenching University, and then successfully applied for a Ph.D. in astrophysics at the California Institute of Technology, where he received his master's and doctoral degrees in just four years.

In the United States, a master's degree is only regarded as a transitional degree, and people still value undergraduate education and doctoral education, and it generally takes at least five years to get a doctorate, and if you can't complete your dissertation within seven years after obtaining an ABD (AllButDissertation, a prospective doctorate who has completed all other procedures except for the dissertation), then you will not be eligible for a doctorate for life.

Historically, there have often been gifted students whose doctoral dissertations have been published in the most professional journals without being defended, some even too long, and have to be serialized in several separate issues. The famous Chinese economist Zhang Wuchang's doctoral dissertation "The Theory of Tenant Farmers" was published in JLE (Journal of Law and Economics) for four issues before the defense, which became the pioneering work of modern contract economics and caused a sensation in the Western economic community at that time.

Although Zhong Shi is not so exaggerated, he also won a Ph.D in four years, and set off a small wave in Caltech.

There's no way, there are too many geniuses here, and with Zhongshi's IQ of 160, it's just a middle-to-lower qualification.

Coming out of sunny California, Zhong Shi turned down NASA's invitation and threw himself into the arms of Wall Street instead.

Since the 80s, quantitative investing has gradually entered the attention of Wall Street, and with the success of several hedge funds with quantitative models as their main strategy, Wall Street has begun to favor graduates with academic backgrounds such as mathematics, physics, and statistics.

Mathematicians, statisticians, rocket engineers, and even PhDs in physics are beginning to flood the industry with financial statements and macroeconomic data on a daily basis.

Zhong Shi joined the fixed income division of Morgan Stanley, a well-known investment bank on Wall Street, as a trader. Soon, he made a name for himself in the bond trading market as an ace trader, and soon he was promoted to Senior Vice President (SVP).

In 1997, Morgan Stanley entered Hong Kong and entered Central. With a mainland background and fluent Mandarin, Zhong Shi was sent to the Asia-Pacific region as an Executive General Manager (ED).

Thanks to the rapid development of ChinaAMC, the rapid expansion of the joint venture investment bank Huaxia International Capital Corporation Limited, and the efforts of a group of geniuses in the Asia-Pacific region, Morgan Stanley has stubbornly suppressed its rival in Asia, Goldman Sachs, another well-known investment bank on Wall Street.

However, after entering 2002, Feng Shui took turns, and Goldman Sachs began to turn over and dominate the capital market in Asia. (Readers and friends can think of weishenme!) ）

In 2007, Zhong Shi had been promoted to managing director (MD) of Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific region, but that year, due to an unexpected exposure of an internal email, he had to resign and leave Morgan Stanley, where he had worked for decades.

The internal email was the chief economist for the Asia-Pacific region at the time, denouncing the political policies of a small country in Southeast Asia. For well-known reasons, the economist and Zhong Shi had no choice but to leave.

After a two-month break, he set up his own hedge fund, and based on his consistently excellent performance, a lot of funds flocked to him, including Huaxia Investment Co., Ltd., which manages Huaxia's huge foreign exchange.

Since its inception, the fund's net worth has grown steadily, and even in the 2008 financial crisis, it has risen against the market and become a star fund in the Asia-Pacific region. He himself has been named one of the brightest fund managers in the Asia-Pacific region by the Wall Street Journal.

Although most of his funds are invested in the capital markets of Europe and the United States. However, in order to attract high-net-worth people in the mainland, he also set up a Huaxia Growth Fund with A-shares as the investment target, but it is a pity that the capital market of Huaxia and other major Western markets are different operating systems, and he, a star fund manager, has been losing in A-shares, and has even become a laughing stock among some fund managers.

He went abroad to study for a few years, and worked on Wall Street for seven or eight years, and then although he worked in Hong Kong, he was never in the mainland, and his knowledge of the mainland remained more than ten years ago, and naturally he could not compare with those fund managers who had grown up in the A-share market for a long time.

After disbanding the fund dedicated to A-shares, it was already 2011, and he was depressed and thought of going out for a walk. Driving his own luxury yacht, Zhongshi departed from Hong Kong, passed through South Asia, India, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, etc., and arrived at his destination London.

Most of his fund companies use quantitative models and computers for trading, and as long as the model doesn't go wrong, then it doesn't need too many people to manage it. In fact, his fund company has only 20 people who manage billions of dollars.

Along the way, he saw the exotic customs of South Asia, the Shijie cultural heritage of the Taj Mahal in India, the wealth and deserts of the Middle East, the ethnic antagonism of Gaza, the casinos of Monaco, the cathedral of the Vatican, the falling snow of the Alps, the bullfighting of Madrid and the arrogance of the British!

However, after a visit to the British Isles, he thought that since he had already traveled half the world, he simply finished the remaining half.

Spanning the entire Atlantic, the yacht Zuihou docked in Bermuda.

Bermuda is located in the North Atlantic Ocean and is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, about 1,000 nautical miles away from Miami, Florida, USA. Bell Stone intends to trim here for some time, and then prepare to enter the territorial waters of the United States.

Bermuda is composed of 7 dominant and about 150 small islands, only 20 islands are inhabited, with a total population of no more than 70,000, but it relies on tax policies, is favored by the international financial industry, and is a well-known offshore financial market.

However, Bermuda is more famous for its triangle, namely the Bermuda Islands, Miami in Florida and San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, forming a triangle between the three. Scientists from all over the world could not explain this strange phenomenon, and over time, this sea area became known as the "Devil's Triangle".

Zhong Shi naturally scoffed at these legends, and from the perspective of his doctor of physics, if a person could travel through time, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed would exceed the speed of light, then his time would pass more slowly, and once he returned to below the speed of light, he would lose less time than others, which meant that he had come to the future.

No object faster than the speed of light has been discovered, and if it does, then the whole system of physics will have to change!

There is another theory in the physics world about going back in time, that is, "wormholes", that is, there may be narrow tunnels in the universe that connect two different time and space, through which instantaneous space transfer or time travel can be done. However, according to the modern physics bull Stephen. According to Hawking's theory, "wormholes" can be connected to other universes, possibly in the future or in the past. However, theoretically, the size of the "wormhole" is very small, even smaller than the atomic nucleus, and it is estimated that it can only be teleported by dividing people into elementary particles.

As soon as Zhong Shi arrived in Bermuda, he received a call from Hong Kong. On the phone, his employees told him that a "black swan" in the capital market had appeared and asked him to hurry back to preside over the overall situation.

"Black swan" is a term in finance that refers to unpredictable, significant, and rare events that are both unexpected and change-all.

On May 17, 2012, the Greek presidency announced that it had failed to reshuffle its cabinet, that it would hold another cabinet election in June, and that it would launch a eurozone. As soon as the news came out, the entire European market fluctuated, and the market was pessimistic. The ECB and governments hold a large number of Greek government bonds, and if Greece declares a default, these government bonds will be turned into waste paper in an instant; In addition, if Greece has set this precedent, then heavily indebted countries such as Spain and Italy will be the next target.

Greek government bonds, whose yields have soared, have been difficult to find buyers in the market, and Zhong Shi originally thought that the European Central Bank would not ignore it and would definitely help Greece through the crisis, so he bought a large number of Greek government bonds, but the Greek prime minister actually expressed a referendum on EU aid to Jihua, which shocked EU officials and the Greek parliament, and even the entire market.

However, the prime minister was then forced to resign under pressure, and the Greek president authorized Papadimov, the former vice president of the European Central Bank, to form a new government, which eased the panic in the market.

It took two rounds of EU bailouts to regain confidence in the Greek government and finally solve the urgent need for Greek government bonds, but in May, the failure of the Greek coalition government cast a shadow over the possibility of a default on Greek government bonds.

As early as the first bailout of the European Union, Zhong Shi frantically bought Greek government bonds, betting that Greek government bonds would not default in the end, while most funds in the market were frantically selling Greek government bonds, and the yield even rose to 1,000% at one point, that is, selling at one-tenth of the book price.

If Greece completes self-redemption, then Bell Stone's assets will surge several times at once! But if Greece eventually defaults, it will lose all the money it has spent.

Ignoring the order of the control tower at Kindley Airport, Jongshi flew a small plane to Miami in the midst of lightning and thunder and pouring rain.

He originally intended to think of Miami, and then fly there to Hong Kong to dispose of the Greek national debt in his hand as soon as possible, but without the command of the tower, he couldn't see the direction for a while, so he could only return in the thunderstorm layer.

Just as he was about to call to the tower, an arm-thick lightning bolt flashed directly in front of the plane, and the air around him suddenly rippled outward like a wave, at a speed visible to the naked eye. Zhong Shi couldn't dodge, and crashed into the small plane with a moment, and then disappeared.

On a small island in Bermuda, a black father and son were fishing in the torrential rain, and the young son looked up at the sky and happened to see this scene, and he babbled and shouted at his father, who was swinging his harpoon, and the black father looked at it, lowered his head again, and muttered expressionlessly: "God bless him, another unfortunate fellow!" ”

The tower on the ground only heard "what is this" and never received any other signals. After the rain had cleared, they sent a search team, but they searched most of the sea, but there was still no trace. In desperation, they had no choice but to report the matter to the U.S. government, and then it was dismissed.
