Chapter Eighty-Eight: What About Challenging the World for You (5)
"The Euler β function you use has been used since 1968, and later by Yoichiro Minami at the University of Chicago, and Nelson at the Suskin and Bohr Institute of the University of Yeshua. The trio separately proved that this model is equivalent to describing a one-dimensional "string" when describing particles. Professor Zhou put down the article in his hand, rubbed his eyes and said very skillfully. In a word, the demeanor and heritage of the master are fully displayed, the development of physics, and even some knowledge and history that are not popular today.
"Well, but it was Professors Schwartz and Schekkel who noticed the further nature and research value of the problem, and they studied some of the properties of string theory in the following days, and I noticed this theory after reading some of their research materials."
"So how do you solve the problem of the fast son? Although in the theory of relativity, strictly speaking, there is no opposition to the existence of superluminal speed, but in this case, what about substituting it into quantum field theory? If there is a faster-than-light speed, then the vacuum will be unstable, and the vacuum will decay, how do you solve this? Although Professor Zhou read Junxin's article, he is not a professional mathematician after all, and he only has a general understanding of Junxin's thinking, so he still wants to listen to Junxin's explanation.
"That is supersymmetry, each fermion has a corresponding boson, through mathematical calculations and analysis, it can be concluded that after adding the supersymmetric model, then the problem of tachyons will no longer exist, instead, this new model has a more prominent role in gravity. In 1971, with the cooperation of Professors Schwartz and Lehman, it was concluded that my method was basically the same as theirs. ”
"So how do you explain the extradimensional existence in string theory? Knowing that Klein, Ball's assistant, and Caruza, Einstein's admirer, have made efforts in this area and failed in the end, what can you do about it? Professor Zhou asked solemnly.
"Professor Schwartz has come to the conclusion that the space from 26 dimensions to 10 dimensions has been simplified, and I have checked their mathematical model and there is no problem with their derivation."
Professor Zhou nodded and said, "Ten years of catastrophe, there are some frontier issues in the physics community that I understand, and some I don't know anymore. I'm sure you've got a rough idea, so tell me what you think! "Although Professor Zhou is an old pedant, his mind is very open-minded compared to others.
"I can't hide it from you, Professor!" Junxin shook his head, sat on the chair next to him, was silent for a while, raised his head and said to Professor Zhou, "Professor, what do you think of the current science fiction?" ”
Professor Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, some time ago, Junxin asked him his opinion on science fiction several times, but it was the first time to ask a straightforward question. But after thinking about it, Professor Zhou already understood Jun Xin's thoughts, and said with a little cry and laughter: "Xiaojun, what you want to ask is not me, but those people behind me, right?" ”
"You've seen through it, teacher!" Junxin shook his head, and there was no embarrassed expression, "There is a very interesting novel recently, I don't know if you have read it?" ”
"You're talking about "Chaowen Dao"?" Professor Zhou thought for a moment and asked decisively.
"Yes!"
"Hehe, you instigated your little girlfriend, how could I not know about the book written by that little girl from the Gu family? I knew I was probably one of the first people to see this book. Professor Zhou said with a smile, "As early as when this book came out, the little girl from the Gu family came to me with the book and asked me to give some advice, I can't say anything about other novels, but some of the things written in this novel are still very good for me personally, and they are worth reading." ”
Jun believed it, and he understood the meaning of Professor Zhou's words. Personally, it means that he is in favor of his personal position, but it does not mean that other physicists are also in favor of it, so he vaguely told Junxin that others are actually not in favor of science fiction.
"The string theory is the prototype of the grand unification theory in "Chaowen Dao"!" Junxin was silent for a long time and said slowly.
"You ......" Professor Zhou was stunned, pointing at Junxin but unable to speak.
Since quantum chromodynamics (QCD) dominated the whole strong interaction, as string theory has not been turned over until 1984, Schwartz and Green solved the "anomaly" problem in string theory, superstring theory only occupied the theoretical physics community for a short time, and the real dominance was only accepted by the theoretical physics community after the second superstring theory revolution in 1995, which was called the most promising physical model to complete the grand unification theory.
However, in his office, Professor Zhou heard the youngest and most talented disciple say that string theory would dominate the physics community, which made him not know what to say.
You must know that in the scientific community, in the small circle of mathematics, Junxin's reputation is very huge, after all, not everyone can do a few things that shock the entire mathematical community in a year. However, in the circle of physics, Junxin does not have any name, and 99% of the world's physicists may not have heard of this name.
However, Professor Zhou deeply knows what kind of ability his disciple has, even if he has a deep mathematical foundation to help, but who can start from high school physics level in less than two months and fully understand the entire theory of relativity and quantum mechanics? During this period, thermodynamics, classical mechanics, optics and other sub-disciplines were also introduced.
However, Junxin did it easily, reading a professional book is like reading a novel, although it is not as easy as writing a professional paper like writing a novel like Euler, but this is also a shocking achievement. And today, this genius disciple told him in front of him that a theory with serious flaws would become a new theoretical model like Newton's classical mechanics, Einstein and others' relativity and quantum mechanics models, which suddenly made him feel extremely unreal.
"Xiaojun, don't say such irresponsible things!" Professor Zhou stood up and said very seriously.
Junxin shook his head and said, "I'm serious, I've been studying string theory for the past two weeks, although I feel that it still has a lot of shortcomings, but my intuition tells me that at the end, this road should be clear." ”
"I know you're for that girl, but don't take it lightly!" Professor Zhou frowned deeper and said.
"You misunderstood!" Junxin still said calmly, "In a year, at most two years, you will change your view of string theory, I have found a way to perfect it, and I will change your opinion during this period of time." As for Mengxue..."
Jun Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Mengxue's side, if there is anything, I will help her carry it, for him, how about being rash and challenging the whole world?" What's more, I'm sure more people will recognize me, so for me, it's just an academic debate. ”
