Chapter 21: Ambitious

In this report, the group of leading scientists likened the Superlarge Hadron Collider to "the key that pulls the door to truth"!

"It is a crutch on a rugged road, a bridge to the other side, the best window into the universe......"

"Without it, mankind's theory of particle physics would stop at the present and never make any further progress!"

“…… The mysteries of the universe will be revealed in the Hadron Collider! ”

Of course, this project report is not a pretentious report, all the data and content are real, and there is no exaggeration.

Yu Yifeng's temples jumped wildly, and he clearly felt the ambition of a new human civilization at this moment.

Yes, an ambition that yearns for science!

There is no doubt that these top scientists are the outstanding representatives of civilization. Their will can even represent the will of the entire civilization. The group of scientists, who account for the majority of the total population, is the main group of the new human civilization.

They want to explore the unknown and explore the endless mysteries of the universe!

And the best way is the Hadron Collider.

However, Yu Yifeng is very cautious, he has been a leader for so long, he habitually thinks twice and analyzes various pros and cons. He couldn't have had his head hot because of a few words of agitation with great ambition.

It was good to have such ambitions, his only consideration...... The price is really too high and too high! Whether it's material resources, or human resources!

Can human beings really eat this thing?

He looked at Yuriko to hear her opinion.

Yuriko thought about it for a long time this time, and finally analyzed the pros and cons, of course, the specific judgment had to be made by Yi Feng himself.

"Our science, which can be said to be largely complete with the Standard Model, does not mean that science will stop there. While the Standard Model looks great, it's not perfect, and it still doesn't describe gravity. ”

"Moreover, the particles described by our current Standard Model are less than 5% of the particles that exist in the universe. In other words, 95% of the particles are unknown to humans. That's the main reason for building this mega-sized LHC, because we want to use this large instrument to discover unknown particles and understand them, so that we can refine our model and understand the entire universe. ”

Yu Yifeng nodded, he knew all these common sense things.

He looked at Yuriko and waited for her to continue.

"At present, we are looking for a better particle physics model than the Standard Model, and supersymmetry theory is one of them, and it is also a promising one."

"Because it looks so perfect and elegant. If the theory of supersymmetry could be tested, it would tell us why particles have their current mass, why interactions produce different intensities, and why the universe is the way it is. ”

"Then, we can further explore string theory, refine M theory, and so on......"

"Perhaps only the Superhadron Collider can give us a lesson from all this. Without it, it would be very possible for our theoretical science to make progress, and that is very possible......"

Yu Yifeng touched his chin, he deeply understood the scientific significance brought by the Large Hadron Collider.

Experimentation is very important for science. Without experimental verification, all discussions are just a pipe dream.

Of course, if the experimental verification fails, then the whole theory is a failure, and there is no room for negotiation.

Science is very realistic and cruel. Whether it's right or wrong, the universe is there, and it doesn't change because of your research, your fantasies.

Yuriko paused, and this time she was silent again for a long time.

She said in an unexpectedly dull and gloomy tone: "It is very disappointing that the LHC of the Earth has not found supersymmetric particles, and it is very disappointing to reject a large number of low-energy standard models." So, we either abandon the supersymmetry theory altogether, or we ...... Only models with higher energy standards can be explored. ”

"Higher energy standards mean stronger instruments and higher funding requirements, but even that doesn't necessarily lead to exploration. It's just an assumption and not necessarily true...... However, the Hadron Collider on Earth, and experiments that are difficult to meet higher energy targets. ”

"So, the hadron collider that we're going to build could be a key for humanity to knock on the door of the universe, but it could also be, and it's more likely, that it's a black hole that no one knows when it's going to pay off. Worse, maybe everything is a hoax of our fantasies and the universe. ”

“…… Even, we will never be able to discover other particles through it! All in vain! ”

"All our efforts may be in vain......"

Yu Yifeng silently said that the failure of the low-energy standard supersymmetry theory was a big blow to people like Yuriko, even to Ding Yidong, Felix, Rambo and others.

Everyone thought it was perfect, so much so that scientists all over the world fought for it for thirty years or more.

The theory of supersymmetry, which has almost become a belief, is religiously devotional, and countless scientific papers are based on this hypothesis.

If it is outright wrong, then ...... These painstaking papers will be reduced to waste paper.

If it is correct, the Nobel Prize is only a trivial matter, and it is completely insufficient to describe its achievements.

But no one knows if this path is the right one, and it is likely that after all the effort, people will sadly find that this path is not working.

The universe is always like this, like a shy girl, who never easily reveals the truth hidden in her clothes......

"It would be nice if the supersymmetry of the low-energy target was correct......"

Yuriko said in a low tone, it was clear that she had been hit very hard by that experiment.

How easy is it to surpass the classics?

Human beings have been trying to use a set of theories to understand the operation of the entire universe from the most microscopic level.

The most outstanding model in particle physics today is called the Standard Model. In the 21st century, the discovery of the Higgs boson allowed the Standard Model to complete the last piece of the puzzle.

The "Standard Model" is a set of theories that describe the three fundamental forces of strength, weakness, and electromagnetism, as well as the elementary particles that make up all matter.

So far, almost all the results of experiments on the above three forces have been consistent with the predictions of this theory. It is indeed excellent, and it is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless scientists from generation to generation.

However, the Standard Model is not yet a one-size-fits-all theory, and it does not describe the whole universe. The main reason is that it doesn't describe gravity.

So the Standard Model is only partially applicable, and it's not entirely correct......

Every scientist knows that it's not exactly right, it's only partial, which leads to greater exploration**.

Just like Newton's classical mechanics, it is limited to macroscopic low-velocity objects; macroscopic high-velocity objects, suitable for the theory of relativity; Microscopic objects, applicable to quantum mechanics...... So the most intelligent scientists in mankind, these smartest brains, will never be satisfied with "partial correctness".

They aspire to go beyond the Standard Model, to overturn it, to have more correct and grander theories.

Such a fantastical theory is called the "Great Unified Theory", and scientists are eager to unify all the four fundamental forces with each other to find the ultimate theorem of all things.

The theory of supersymmetry was once regarded as an important candidate for the "Great Unification Theory", but ......

"It hasn't completely failed yet, there will always be a higher energy target model!"
