Chapter 254: You're Just In It For Money, And I'm In It For Career!

Journal of Physics: Cosmic and Microscopic Physics.

Title of the paper: "Decay Analysis and Undiscovered Particles".

Authors: Wang Hao, Paul Phil-Jones.

After briefly reviewing the content of the paper, Ridley-Parsons felt that his heart was filled with a combination of "grievance", "depression", and "anger".

A scholar, of course, has the freedom to research.

For the study of physical theories, there are no field restrictions for scholars, but because of the conflict between the basic definition of annihilation theory and the chord theory, the two theories can be said to be in semi-opposite nature.

In the eyes of scholars of string theory, scholars who study the theory of annihilation are "infidels."

Academically, of course, there will be no other influence, but in the academic circles of string theory, it would be considered an absolute betrayal to study string theory first and then to annihilation theory.

In academic circles of string theory, Ridley-Parsons' reputation can be described as "rotten street".

Not to mention at other universities, even at Florida State University, there are some people who call him a 'traitor, a 'villain'.

Some students also believe that there is no reverence for academics, and that they have betrayed their former beliefs for the sake of funding.

Ridley Parsons didn't feel anything about it before, and turning to an opposite direction would naturally have an impact, but now he only felt acorn and was very angry.

He was aggrieved that he was not alone, the famous Paul Phil-Jones, who also turned to the theory of annihilation.

He was outraged that Paul Phil-Jones had gone to work on the theory of annihilation!

Ridley Parsons had a sense of collapse of faith, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that Paul Phil-Jones was not on the same level as himself. Paul Phil-Jones, a genius in string theory, is a representative of the younger generation in the academic circle of string theory.

In Ledley-Parsons's mind, Paul Phil-Jones is the "pure white lotus" of scholars engaged in string theory, and he is devoted to the study of string theory, and no one else can keep up with him when it comes to faithfulness to string theory.

It's no surprise that Paul Phil-Jones will reach the heights of Edward Witten in the future, he's the kind of guy who is really gifted and talented.

In addition, Ridley-Parsons also believes that it is precisely because he has no talent or talent that he turns to the study of the theory of annihilation to "cheat" more money to pay for the cost of going to the bar to find a girl.

Paul Phil-Jones didn't have to do that, he always insisted on the study of string theory, and the university would give him enough financial support.

As a result, Paul Phil-Jones also went to study the annihilation theory, and even more excessively, he studied it with Wang Hao, the founder of the annihilation theory, and had great results and published them.

It's infuriating!

Ridley Parsons gritted his teeth when he thought about it, "So Paul is the biggest traitor!"

"I'm just in it for the money, and he's an absolute betrayal, a betrayal in his deeds, in his heart!"

"Last time, what did he say about his determination to study and find out the problem of the annihilation theory, and as a result, he went to China to study it together?"

"Shameful!"

As soon as Ridley Parsons confirmed the content of the paper, he sent a message of rejection --

"Look, who's the traitor!"

Ridley-Parsons is still influential, a full professor at Florida State University, and a well-known figure in the academic community of string theory.

It is precisely because of this that he is considered a "traitor", otherwise an obscure scholar will certainly not have any impact if he changes his research direction.

Many scholars of string theory have seen the news from Ridley-Parsons.

They felt incredible.

After a closer look at the paper, they understood why Ledley-Parsons said this.

Paul Phil Jones!

That guy who is super persistent in string theory actually turned to study the theory of annihilation, and still has certain results?

This is definitely a major blow to the string theory camp!

If the String Theory camp is compared to an army, then Edward Witten of Princeton University is the commander-in-chief of the army, and Paul Phil-Jones is a young general who has already made many achievements, and is also seen by many as the future commander-in-chief's successor.

As a result, the 'successor to the commander-in-chief' suddenly surrendered to the enemy army, and also made great achievements in a battle.

For a moment, string theorists were silent.

They didn't know what to say, and the only thing they could do was to give a thumbs up to Ridley-Parsons' bounce message and silently go over the paper.

Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University.

Edward Witten, like other string theorists, noticed Ridley Parsons' message and went to check the paper, and his mind suddenly became very complicated.

He was mainly depressed about the new research content, and studied string theory all his life, and even developed string theory into a recognized "great unification" theory, resulting in a new theory that opposed chord theory.

This new theory is not only a theory, but also a prediction in advance in connection with experiments.

Edward Witten has taken a general look at the content, and has basically affirmed the process of argumentation, and Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones have studied together, and the rigor of the argument does not need to be questioned.

The part related to the theory of annihilation is still the basic definition of annihilation.

Edward-Witten could easily understand the core content in the first part of the math - the dimension of annihilation is higher than the other three microscopic forces.

In some subsequent mathematical systems, there is a conflict in the research of chord theory.

If the final experiment proves that the conclusion is correct, it can be shown to a certain extent that the annihilation force is likely to exist.

Although the 'missing data' of the last particle collision experiment and the new particles analyzed now are only side arguments for the annihilation force, and they are only based on the assumption of the existence of annihilation force, and the basic definition of annihilation force is given, if it can be continuously predicted and verified by experiments, the more times it will naturally prove that the annihilation force is real.

Here's the problem.

The basic definition of annihilation theory has a partial conflict with chord theory. If annihilation is proven to be real, isn't that a reverse proof that string theory is wrong?

After a lifetime of research on string theory, and as a result, string theory was proven wrong by others, Edward Witten's mood can be imagined.

With a long sigh, he pulled out a handwritten letter from a drawer.

The letter came from Paul Phil-Jones and was written before he left for China. Edward-Witten opened the letter and saw that it read, "Dear Mr. Witten,

String theory has ushered in the biggest crisis in decades, and annihilation theory is the biggest challenge to string theory.

So I decided to go to Seohai University to study the theory of annihilation.

In the process of learning Chinese, I know that the saying is very philosophical, "know yourself and know your opponent, and win a hundred battles", which means that you must understand the enemy in order to defeat the enemy.

Only by studying the theory of annihilation can we find out the problem of the theory of annihilation······

Looking at the contents of the letter, Edward Witten couldn't help but nod his head, thinking, "Is this Paul's method? The results of the research have been published······

"And then, the experiment will prove nothing? When the time comes, the research will be wrong, and the definition of the high dimension of annihilation will naturally be wrong.

"If you dig deeper, maybe the other definitions are also wrong, and the alternative explanation with string theory makes sense······

Although it feels a little unreliable to infer it, Edward-Witten still has some expectations.

Because he believed in Paul Phil-Jones.

Paul Phil-Jones is no less fanatical about string theory than he was when he was younger!

······

Edward-Witten is not alone.

When the paper was actually published, it was noticed by many people, "Universe and Microscopic Physics" is the top academic journal of quantum physics, and the number of orders in the field is still very large, and combined with the fame of Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones, it will naturally attract more attention.

A research paper is also not a purely mathematical argument, but is linked to an experimental problem.

Whether there are new particles in the energy interval of "183GeV-187GeV" can be studied and demonstrated, and soon professionals began to search for past experimental reports.

There have been two previous reports on the energy range of "183 GeV – 187 GeV", one of which seems to be the most recent – that says "there are numerical signal fluctuations in the range of 178 – 195 GeV".

The other is an eight-year-old report that says there are abnormal numerical fluctuations in the vicinity of '182GeV', but the "judgment" given is 'due to experimental error'.

Putting the two pieces of information together, it is still difficult to attract attention under normal circumstances, because there are many reports of similar energy points.

In particle collision experiments, subtle anomalies abound, and most of them are just statistical fluctuations caused by a large number of events generated and recorded by the experiment.

In this case, when more data is collected, a lot of random anomalies disappear.

However, when it comes to Wang Hao's research with Paul Phil-Jones, it feels different.

Several professional teams in CERN have begun to carefully analyze the data in the energy range of "183 GeV - 187 GeV" in past experiments.

For example, Gessner-Rainier.

When Gessner-Rainier saw the latest research paper, he only felt very stupid, because he always knew that in the last week, Didier-Mayor's team had been doing intensive work of screening and analyzing experimental data, and had called on a large amount of experimental raw data.

Plus, he knew that the opposing team was looking for new particles.

When the news was known, Gessner-Rainier didn't take it to heart at all, because he looked down on Didier Mayor's level and thought that the other party was a pure waste of time.

Now Gessner-Rainier understood, "This guy must have known something ahead of time."

"Maybe it's the news I got from Wang Hao that I will do data work on a large scale!"

There are no such coincidences in the world.

Gessner-Rainier is 100% sure that Mayor's team is doing this research, and he immediately explained the research work, hoping to catch up with the progress of Mayor's team.

It's a pity that it's late······

A week is enough to do a lot.

At this time, Didier-Mayor had already achieved results, "183GeV-187GeV", the calculated energy range was so accurate that the work to be done was greatly reduced, and they found all the data in the interval in the past experiments, even the original data for analysis.

Finally, it was concluded that 'new particles are likely to exist in the energy of the 183GeV-187GeV intervals'.

Didier-Maillor was frustrated that Wang Hao had published his paper too quickly, only a week in advance, and that other teams must be doing research as well.

So when the results are available, they have to be published, and he would have liked to do it more deeply and precisely.

CERN has a partnership with Cosmos and Microworld, and Didier-Mayor knows the editor-in-chief, Resar, so he simply called and asked, "We have results in the study of new particles, when will the research be published?"

Ressar's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately spoke, "Is it confirming the existence of new particles?"

"It's not entirely certain, but the confidence is high."

Resar suddenly became disinterested, he thought for a moment and said, "Then the next issue, after the next test test, the results will be published together."

Didier-Maillol tugged at the corners of his mouth and eventually gave up publishing in The Universe and Microcosm.

What's next? After a particle collision experiment?

By then, other research groups will definitely have their results, and perhaps they will all be sure that new particles will be discovered, so what is the significance of their team's results? Didier-Mayor simply put the results on the homepage of the experimental team's report, and also submitted a brief description of the results report to the nuclear organization, and soon the official homepage of the nuclear organization was also updated with the news of the new results of the Maillol team.

"New particles are likely to exist in the 183GeV-187GeV interval".

Most likely, not for sure.

There is a difference in the value of one standard deviation, and physicists agree that five standard deviations are needed to determine the discovery of a new particle.

In the data analysis of physical experiments, an abnormal signal was suddenly discovered, is it really detected particles, or is the system data false positive? This is a matter of judgment, and the way to do this is to set the confidence interval and calculate the deviation.

The stronger the signal and the more the value deviates from the theoretical value in the particle-free state, the higher the authenticity of the signal.

In a normal distribution, the 95% two-tailed confidence interval is 1.96 standard deviations, which means that when the signal deviates by 1.96 standard deviations, there is a 95% probability that it is a true test, but there is still a 5% chance of false positives.

Five standard deviations to determine the possibility of excluding interference and discovering new particles.

Mayor's team found that the confidence level of the new particle appears to be 1.85 standard deviations, which can be understood as about 90%.

Under normal circumstances, a conclusion of 1.85 standard deviations would not explain the discovery of new particles, but combined with the research of Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones, the conclusion seems to become very convincing.

A lot of people are starting to pay attention to next month's particle collision test experiment.

At that time, more intensive experiments and more complete data should be able to discover this new particle!

Westsea University, Mason Mathematical Science Laboratory. Office of the Director.

Looking at the news reported one by one, Zhu Jianrong sat on the sofa and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, "Calculate and analyze new particles......

"Is this a little study?"

When he looked at Wang Hao again, he didn't know how to speak.

Really!

He's been fooled again!

Zhu Jianrong pondered for a long time, but still asked, "Professor Wang, can you be sure of the conclusion of this new research, that is, new particles?"

Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "Even if it's my own research, I'm not 100% sure, after all, it's a new particle, and maybe next month's particle collision experiment won't be able to find it." This new particle decays very fast and has a very low signal strength."

Zhu Jianrong turned his head to look at Paul Phil-Jones.

Paul Phil-Jones pondered and said, "More than two standard deviations."

「??」

Zhu Jianrong's face was suddenly confused.

Wang Hao tugged at the corners of his mouth and helped translate, "More than ninety-nine percent, what he said is the possibility of the experimental discovery next month. Didier-Mayor's team has raised the confidence level to 1.85 standard deviations based on past data, which translates into experimental intensity, and the probability of finding it this time is very high."

"Oh, oh."

Zhu Jianrong nodded continuously, only feeling that his IQ had been crushed, and he still said, "This research can analyze new particles, which is very good!"

He said with a thumbs up.

It is simply inconceivable to rely on theoretical research and calculate and analyze new particles.

The only new particle that has been analyzed entirely theoretically has been the "Higgs particle", and even neutrinos have been predicted in advance by combining experimental data and theory.

And the "Higgs particle" is a complete set of perfect

When the Standard Model of Particles first took shape, there were already relevant theories, and it was actually detected in experiments decades later.

Now, the analysis and calculation of a paper has led to the conclusion that there are new particles, which can be called a 'very significant' research result.

Even if it is not as good as the Higgs particle and neutrino, it is the top achievement of quantum physics.

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "It's just a small study, and the focus is on the theoretical basis, not the conclusion."

Zhu Jianrong tugged at the corners of his mouth again.

"Indeed."

Paul Phil-Jones nodded approvingly, "This is just an analysis of individual particle decay processes. If it turns out that there are new particles, it means that the dimension of annihilation is likely to be higher."

"On this basis, it can be expanded to other fields, even if it is just the decay of baryons, and new particles may be discovered again."

"The final proof is that there are new particles, and our work is just beginning."

"In the future, it will be expanded to other fields of quantum physics and the standard model of particles will be refined, and there will be a lot of follow-up work, and the research space is very broad······

Paul Phil-Jones said with some anticipation.

The high dimension of the existence of annihilation is the foundation, and the discovery of new particles is only one of the conclusions.

They can use this as a basis to research and draw more conclusions.

Paul Phil-Jones became very excited as he spoke, and he couldn't wait to see that CERN's experiments proved their findings.

At that time, we will be able to continue our research in other directions, and we will be able to draw more conclusions while the research space becomes broader.

Achievements and honors are coming!

"Perhaps, I will become the most famous theoretical physicist and win the Nobel Prize in Physics for it······

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he kept muttering, "I'm sure I'll find new particles!"

"Absolutely!"

Expecting that the research would be confirmed, Paul Phil-Jones returned to his office and opened his personal mailbox to see an email from Edward Witten.

The email asked, "Paul, is your research correct?"

Paul Phil-Joneston's mind was complicated, he thought for a long time, and then replied to an email, "Edward, I've been working on the theory of annihilation. Only a deeper study can identify the problem.

In addition, research can help to revise string theory. I'm going to work hard for it!"

Then he saw another email from Ridley Parsons.

The email was less friendly, asking why Paul Phil-Jones did not insist on string theory, but did the same as himself.

Paul Phil-Joneston's eyes were full of disdain. Ridley Parsons?

This traitor!

He immediately replied, "Yes, let's all go study the theory of annihilation.

But we are different!

You're just for the dirty money, and I'm for the cause of science!"
