Physicists are the best at math.

Mathematicians are the best at physics.

That's Edward Witten.

The most awesome thing is that this big guy studied history and language when he was an undergraduate, and after working for a few years after graduation, he suddenly felt that physics was very interesting, so he went back to further his studies.

Eventually, he became the first and only physicist to be a Fields general.

As a physicist, what is it like to receive the highest honor as a mathematician?

Probably a Meituan delivery man came to your house and found that there was no air conditioning in your house on such a hot day, so he helped you make one with his bare hands. When you were about to leave, you found an unfinished PhD thesis on your desk, so he asked you to deliver food, and he spent an afternoon helping you finish it.

According to the words of mathematician Green, if science climbs a peak, then mathematicians have climbed far ahead for thousands of years, and occasionally kicking down a stone is enough to provide inspiration and theoretical support for the physicists below.

Witten, on the other hand, proved to the entire academic community that it is perfectly fine to derive novel and profound mathematical theorems with ingenious physical intuition.

Of course...... And only his super-human instincts could do it.

Witten was awarded the Fields Medal for his connection between Jones Polynomial and Chern-Simons theories, a work that had a profound impact on low-dimensional topologies and led to the derivation of quantum invariants.

In the 80s, kink theory was very popular, and mathematicians discovered many new kink invariants, the most famous of which was Jones's polynomial, and many mathematicians were still busy with what the new concept of HD meant.

Witten stood up and told all mathematicians that a look at the Ilson rings in Jones's polynomial Simmons theory would connect the two.

Eventually, some mathematicians discovered that no matter how many different 3-manifold there are, as long as you multiply by how many different gauge groups, you can construct as many jones polynomial-like kink invariants.

So, Jones polynomials are just one of the invariants that belong to this family, and there are infinitely many like this. What's more, he also analyzed a set of topology methods for shear flow patterns, which can intuitively and completely calculate the expectation value of the ilson loop on an arbitrary orientable 3-manifold. So as to wipe out the kinks and invariants of this family at once.

This process is like a group of mathematicians dancing in front of a newly discovered treasure cave, opening the door only to find Witten already sitting inside, and indifferently saying to them: "Don't be blind to the tip of the iceberg, and tell them how big this treasure is, and take all the treasures with them." ”

The reason why Wu Bin is so familiar with this big man is because he is the strongest person in the world's string theory, and it can even be said that he has completed most of the "superstring theory" alone.

The purpose of his study of mathematics is actually similar to Newton's study of calculus, that is, to better study physics, including the reason why he won the Fields Medal is also for the study of quantum.

In fact, Wu Bin understands that a physicist will go crazy to study mathematics, and that is due to the limitations of scientific level, such as string theory, which is the most promising theory that unifies elementary particles and four interactions in nature, although it belongs to the category of physics.

But it looks more like a mathematical game, because it is impossible to test string theory scientifically at this stage.

His various books and academic papers can also be said to be the biggest reason for Wu Bin's great interest in string theory.

Because I can't read it!

This made Wu Bin very unconvinced, and after studying so far, this is the first copy where someone has given the strategy, but he can't even understand the strategy...... Oh no, discipline, so he swore that he would beat string theory, no matter if the path was right or wrong in the end!

However, at present, it seems that various physics bulls are still very optimistic about string theory, such as Hawking, who proposed in his book "The Grand Design" that he believes that Edward Witten's theory is very likely to be the ultimate theory of the universe.

In general, as long as string theory is proven correct, Edward Witten will be propelled to the altar of physics like Newton and Einstein.

Seeing that Wu Bin was suddenly in a daze, Feng Jinhui patted him and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I just wondered why there was such a buggy person as Witten."

"I think you're quite buggy, and I've seen you as a freshman."

"The mentor praised it."

"Don't be modest with me, next week I'm going to do physical research on strong field atoms and molecules, you can help you and give you a second work."

"Okay, no problem, thank you for your attention."

Feng Jinhui looked at Wu Bin and shook his head, and continued to do his own experiments.

Wu Bin continued to open the talent page and read it.

[Savior]: It can better combine physics and biology.

'High-end, ......'

After reading this, Wu Bin almost understood that it seemed that the B grid on the second page of talent was about to explode the first page.

After all, the first page is really a foundation, in order to better grasp the scientific research tools. The second page is directly about the implementation of the theory.

This [savior] talent is obviously a buff to biophysics, an interdisciplinary discipline that combines physics and biology.

In fact, if human technology is a talent tree, then biophysics should be regarded as the least lit batch.

Its research aims to study the physical properties of living organisms, covering all levels of biological organization from the molecular scale to the entire organism and ecosystem.

The scope of research is quite broad, including physiology, biochemistry, nanotechnology, bioengineering, agricultural physics, and cell biology.

'Shhh...... Do you want to skip class'

Wu Bin thought about it, felt that he was not in a hurry, and looked at the next talent.

[Godfather of Information]: It can better combine electronics, modern physics, optoelectronics, quantum electronics and superconducting electronics.

'I'm Rubler, physical electronics, ah, this is. ’

Physical electronics, which is also an interdisciplinary science, mainly conducts basic and applied research in the fields of electronic engineering and information science and technology.

Contrary to mobs, it is the fastest talent to be lit up on the human tech talent tree.

I often hear people say that the 21st century is an era of technological explosion, but in fact, strictly speaking, this is wrong, the 21st century is an era of information explosion, because it can be said that only the discipline of informatics is constantly being lit up on the human talent tree, and the others are almost stagnant.
