Yang Xi watched Zhou Chen and Professor Zhao communicate very happily on the side, and the whole person was shrouded in an atmosphere of "unclear perception", although he couldn't understand what the two were saying, he felt so powerful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

She has never even heard of Lorentz's transformation of the first and second meanings, she has always known that general relativity is more powerful than special relativity, how can she listen to the meaning of the two of them, this general relativity is not completely correct?

Although she didn't understand it very well, she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that Zhou Chen was praised by Professor Zhao, as if the person who was praised was herself.

Zhou Chen and Professor Zhao communicated for a long time, and the two had a speculative topic, and once they started talking, they would be endless. It wasn't until Professor Zhao's wife came back that the communication between the two was interrupted.

Zhou Chen looked at the time and was surprised to find that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and he hurriedly stood up and prepared to say goodbye with Yang Xi.

"Hey, Xiao Chen, Xi'er, don't be busy leaving, stay and have dinner together." Professor Zhao was willing to agree, and sent a message to let Zhou Chen and Yang Xi have dinner before leaving.

"This ......" Zhou Chen showed a hesitant expression, isn't it a little bad to stay and eat for the first time? But looking at Professor Zhao's appearance, he couldn't leave, just let the guest go, he hesitated, nodded and agreed.

Professor Zhao's wife's surname is Wang, and she is old enough to be Zhou Chen's grandmother, but since she wants to join Professor Zhao's disciple, then Grandma Wang is his wife.

Grandma Wang's craftsmanship is good, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves after a meal, and then Zhou Chen chatted with Professor Zhao about family life, only to know that Professor Zhao and Grandma Wang have a son, a daughter and two children, of which the son is an executive of a state-owned refining and chemical company, and the daughter works in the government department.

After the meal, Professor Zhao and Zhou Chen talked about academic issues for a while, and Zhou Chen mainly listened to Professor Zhao's homework arrangements for him in the next few years.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Chen and Yang Xi said goodbye and left.

Walking on the greenway of the community, you can vaguely hear the sound of insects chirping and screaming. At this time, there are no clouds in the sky, and the night sky is like an endless sea, and the bright stars are dotted on the vast ocean, quiet, vast and mysterious.

Zhou Chen first sent Yang Xi back to the dormitory of Beijing Normal University, and then found a nearby hotel for himself to stay.

***************

Early the next morning, Zhou Chen came to the administrative office of the Department of Physics and met with Director Gao, who was in charge of faculty management.

Director Gao is in his forties, short and chubby, with half bald hair, and a pair of glasses with deep myopia, looking very thick. After knowing Zhou Chen's intention, Director Gao took the "letter of appointment" and went to the small conference room next to Zhou Chen to chat in detail.

"Xiao Zhou, here I would like to welcome you to join the faculty of our Department of Physics, you are a specially introduced talent by Professor Zhao, I hope you can give full play to your strengths in your own position and contribute to our Department of Physics!"

It's a polite opening remark, meaningless, but indispensable.

Zhou Chen had to nod modestly: "Director Gao, rest assured, I will definitely do my best." ”

"Hmm." Director Gao seemed to be satisfied, and he turned to say: "Considering your actual situation, I have discussed with other members of the teaching committee, and now our physics department is preparing to open an astrophysics elective course for students from other departments, I wonder if you are interested in taking this course?" ”

Astrophysics elective, Zhou Chen nodded clearly, this arrangement did not surprise him.

Zhou Chen knew very well that as a lecturer without any teaching experience, the school leaders would not let him independently carry out a regular course as soon as he came up. Even if this lecturer is endorsed by the famous Professor Zhao, he must not dare to take this risk easily until he has seen his true talent and learning.

The safest way would undoubtedly be for him to take over a relatively less important elective!

And astrophysics is exactly what he does! I want to come to the school leaders have also considered his expertise.

"Am I doing this elective on my own?" Zhou Chen asked.

"Yes, this elective course focuses on astrophysics, and you will start the course alone, and the specific number of students will be determined by the registration situation after the class starts, but according to the experience of previous years, the number of applicants for this kind of elective course is generally not too much, it may be a small class of twenty to thirty people."

"What is the course cycle of this course? Are there any rules? Zhou Chen asked again.

"The plan given to you by the teaching committee is to have classes once a week, two classes at a time, which is the time of two classes, and the whole course should be arranged in two semesters. The specific start time is about half a month after the start of the semester, so you still have two weeks to prepare. ”

"How's it going, is there a problem?"

"No problem!" Zhou Chen smiled and agreed.

He is very satisfied with the school's arrangement, and the fact that classes are only held once a week means that he has a lot of free time.

In addition, after communicating with Professor Zhao last night, Zhou Chen also knew that Professor Zhao was going to carry out a "loose" policy for him, so although he went to Beijing Normal University to study for a doctorate and teach as a part-time lecturer, he actually had plenty of free time at his disposal.

You can get a diploma, have a decent job, and do whatever you want when you have time, and that's all you need to live comfortably

……

……

Located on the other side of the ocean, a new and busy day begins.

On this ordinary day, a ripple caused by a butterfly flapping its wings is rapidly amplifying, and soon a huge vortex has begun to set off a huge storm in the world of theoretical physics.

"Have you heard? After several major breakthroughs, Hawking's black hole radiation (Hawking radiation) has recently been thoroughly proved, and a complete black hole thermodynamic proof has been derived, so that the 'cosmopolitan hypothesis' is perfectly supported by realistic theories! An astrophysicist said to his old friend with gusto.

"Oh? Oh my God, if this news is true, it's a real carnival in the world of theoretical physics. His friend, who is also a physicist, was amazed to hear what he said.

"It is said that the relevant paper has passed the preliminary review of the "Science" review committee, and the five experts involved in the review have expressed their support for the paper to varying degrees, and the paper has been sent to industry experts for review, if nothing else, it will soon pass the review and be published in the latest issue of "Science".

"That's really exciting...... Wait, you said that Science arranged for five reviewers to conduct a preliminary review of the paper and make sure there was no mistake? The old friend was surprised.

"I heard that the five reviewers were Alex of Princeton University, Samuel of Stanford University, Patrick of the University of California, Lockani of Cornell University, and Christine of the University of Chicago, and they all participated in the review of this paper."

"My God, this lineup is too luxurious, five reviewers, and all of them are well-known figures in related fields, what is Science going to do this time?"

"Who knows, the news has spread like a hurricane anyway." The astrophysicist shrugged his shoulders and said.

On this day, the news spread, and scientists with a little bit of knowledge heard the news.

No one knows how the news got viral, as neither the reviewers nor editors of Science are supposed to reveal the content of the paper, but this is clearly contradictory to the current situation. Some people believe that this is a deliberate rumor released by Science, with the intention of attracting the attention of industry insiders and warming up for the launch of the next issue of Science.

There is even a rumor that British astrophysicist Stephen William Hawking, American theoretical physicist John Preskey, and Chinese theoretical physicist Zhao Fengxue are the selected review experts for Science, and the relevant papers have been sent to them.

The lineup is huge, and there is a feeling of rehearsing major news, which is the rhythm of making a big news!

Everyone thinks that "Science" has been silent for so many years, and this time it may have to be a big game, otherwise how could it cause such a big response?

It is true that the value of the paper itself is the source of the discussion, but it is difficult to estimate its value because no one has seen this paper, but there is no doubt that Science took the opportunity to build momentum, and because of the acquiescence from Science, more and more people are beginning to believe this speculation.

The chaos in the world of theoretical physics seems to have suddenly appeared, and the research field within the circle is suddenly shrouded in all kinds of rumors, and almost every scientist who studies theoretical physics, especially when it comes to cosmology or astrophysics, often talks about rumors in the first thing they say.

Everyone was enthusiastic about being the messenger of rumors, and was very enthusiastic about spreading false rumors.

Just as the rumors were spreading, Hawking, who was far away in the UK, publicly accepted an interview with a media, in which Hawking admitted that he had received an invitation to review the paper from Science, and said that he would do his best to complete the review of the paper within a week, and strive to give everyone a clear answer.

Hawking's interview undoubtedly stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, he not only confirmed the previous speculation from the side, but also because of his popularity, the news that was originally just circulating in the circle was suddenly exposed to the public's field of vision.

You must know that the news media have never worried about the news headline being too big, they will never think that the news is not big enough, and this time there is a rare technology news that can be hyped, maybe it is a major discovery in the scientific community. As a result, the media of various countries are like sharks smelling blood, and they have dug deep and wide, and began to create a greater focus of public opinion.

On the contrary, after Hawking's confirmation, the theoretical physics community was quiet, and they waited for the next issue of Science to be released, hoping to see the paper.
