Chapter 301: Invitation

The meaning of Junxin's words is revealed, and who in the room doesn't understand it? But it's because I understand it that I feel shocked. Albert Einstein established the theory of relativity, but it took a full decade to generalize it to the stage of general relativity.

Compared with Einstein, if the establishment of superstring theory and the establishment of superstring theory model is equivalent to Einstein's establishment of the special theory of relativity, then the existing model of superstring theory is mathematically processed in a unified way, and the grand unified string theory obtained by the processing is of physical significance, then it is equivalent to Einstein extending the special theory of relativity to the general theory of relativity. Although it is somewhat different, everyone sitting here knows that the difficulty is probably not inferior to or even exceeds the mathematical requirements of general relativity.

"Then I'm looking forward to it!" Wu Dayou said happily.

"Hehe, if Professor Witten finds out that you are doing this work, I'm afraid that if he is killed, he will have to ask the president to put you in Princeton." Cui Qi shook his head with a smile and said.

"String theory has not been proven, and although at best it can only be used as an alternative to a unified field theory, it is generally the most promising alternative theory." Wu Chien-shiung commented, "However, such a theory will be very difficult to operate in practical experiments. ”

"When will you publish your paper on string theory?" Yang Zhenning asked.

"During this time, I was busy with the affairs of the Langlands Program, and it is estimated that it will take a while to calm down and be busy with the superstring theory." Junxin replied, "The unified model of superstring theory has been designed with a large number of mathematical concepts and calculations, and one of the more important theories is kink theory, and it will take some time to start researching this aspect. Of course, I can also be a little more flattering, kink theory is also the research direction of a friend of mine, who, like me, is currently studying at Mizuki University, and after a recent phone call, he told me that his proof has reached the final critical step, and when I get back, I will discuss this with him. His name is Wei Donglai, and he is expected to come to Princeton as a second batch of exchange students from Princeton and Mizuki University. At that time, Professor Cui Qi will have time to take care of him. ”

"It's incumbent!" Cui Qi nodded and agreed.

"I thank you for him." Junxin said with a smile.

"It's not necessary, everyone is from the same place, so we should take care of each other."

"Thank you!" Junxin still said.

"Xiaojun didn't just come to the door today to discuss academic issues with us, right?" After talking and laughing for a while, they learned about Junxin's character and recognized his high academic achievements, so they naturally included him in their circle. Therefore, the words unconsciously bring the meaning of closeness.

"Well, there is one more thing today, I was supposed to go to various universities and research institutes in the United States to meet with your seniors and talk about it, but I didn't expect all of you to be here, so I just happened to talk about it together." Junxin nodded and said, "That's right, last year, I held an academic report on the Modell conjecture at Princeton University, and I happened to meet Professor Yau Chengtong, and later had a conversation with Professor Qiu for a while, and Professor Qiu put forward the idea of holding a global conference of Chinese mathematicians in the near future. I felt the need for it, and I agreed with it at the time. ”

"Later, I went to the University of Pennsylvania, visited Gu Yuxiu, and told him about this idea. Gu Lao was very interested in this proposal, and proposed to expand the scope to hold a World Conference of Chinese Scientists, and expand the scope of the academic conference to various fields, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, computer science, and so on. The conference will be held at the end of November this year, and Gu Lao hopes to invite more top Chinese scientists to participate. Since we are the organizers of Mizuki University, we were entrusted by the university to invite several people to participate in this conference. ”

After a pause, Junxin continued: "Originally, there was a plan to come to Columbia University on the itinerary, and firstly, because Columbia University invited me to give an academic lecture, and I have already agreed. I came here for Professor Wu. However, a few days ago, I suddenly heard that Wu Lao was also here, and I hope you can go back to the mainland this year to participate in this meeting. ”

"Elder Gu has already told me about this matter, and I have agreed to come down." Wu Chien-shiung said with a smile, "Originally, Nanjing University wanted me to go back for an academic visit, so I should take this opportunity to return to China!" ”

"Old Wu, what about you?" Junxin asked.

"With such a good thing, I am naturally very willing!" Wu Lao happily accepted Junxin's invitation. He has passed the peak of his academic research, and now he hopes to be more engaged in education and academic summarization, and is naturally very willing to disseminate his academic views in conferences.

"What about you, Professor Yang? Originally, I was going to look for you at Stony Brook after I finished my speech at Columbia, but I didn't expect to see you here! ”

"I'm more than happy!" Yang Zhenning also accepted Junxin's invitation.

Junxin continued to look at the others.

"There's no problem on my side!" Li Zhendao said.

"If I do, I may have to go back and arrange to confirm the work!" Ding Zhaozhong scratched his head and said, he is now a person in charge of Cern, and his degree of freedom is relatively small. So only one such answer can be given.

"I'm not sure!" Cui Qi said, with a little hesitation in his expression, "Not long ago, I found a very interesting phenomenon in the experiment, and I am about to study it in depth, but I am a little uncertain at this time, and it depends on the progress of the next experiment." If the experiment was at a critical juncture, I wouldn't have been able to go back! ”

"Well, isn't that what we're doing in science!" Junxin still understands this very well. And he also knows that this year is a critical year for Cui Qi, and it is also this year's experiment that he finally became a Nobel Prize winner. While there are many other things and achievements in between, there is no doubt that this year is his most pivotal year.

"I'd better go back to China!" Steven Chu said, agreeing quite dryly.

"Then I'll go back too!" In the end, Gao Kun, who sat in the corner without saying a word, also agreed.

"Then my mission on this trip can be regarded as complete!" Junxin laughed.

"You can stop by and find Professor Li Yizhe, who is also in Columbia University!"

"That's for sure!" Junxin nodded.

"With that out of the way, what kind of speech are you going to give at the presentation?" Wu Jianxiong asked curiously.

"Didn't you know tonight?" Junxin smiled slightly.

"Well, I'm looking forward to tonight's speech!"

"You won't be disappointed!" Jun Xin said confidently.
