Nature headquarters, Nature Physics editorial office.

The early morning sun shone on the computer screen from the window, reflecting a somewhat blinding white light on Campbell's face.

The wrinkled face was much older than it was two years ago.

Campbell sighed sadly, rubbed his forehead vigorously, and habitually turned on the computer.

Two years ago, he wouldn't have been so diligent at all.

Every morning when I come to the office, I make a cup of coffee, read some magazine news, relax and then go to work.

Now it's different.

For the past two years, he has been the most ordinary review editor, and it doesn't matter if he is someone else, but he used to be the upper editor of Nature Physics, and his mentality is completely different.

So he is busy working every day, hoping to be promoted again based on performance.

Last month, he succeeded.

Magdalena Skipper was pleased with his performance and reinstated him to his original position.

The editor-in-chief of Nature Physics, and the only person at the top of the list, Magdalena Skipper, the editor-in-chief of Nature, can be considered the person in charge of Nature Physics.

Although he managed to return to his original position, Campbell did not dare to relax at all, he learned the lesson of the last time, and took Donald Cordini to heart.

"This despicable old woman!" Campbell couldn't help but grit his teeth at the thought of Cordini's name, but was there anything he could do about it, because Donald Cordini was retired.

The recent news related to Donald Cordini is that the other party has found a forty-year-old boyfriend after retirement, and he also went to the mall to shop hand in hand.

Campbell felt even more uncomfortable when he thought about it.

He was still working hard every day to earn a salary to support his family, and Cordini was retiring peacefully and finding a young and strong boyfriend.

"Abominable ......"

"If I were in New York, ahem......"

Campbell clenched his fists hard, but finally exhaled lightly, looked up at the time, and quickly gathered his thoughts to check the manuscript in the mailbox.

The first one, which is not interesting, is directly returned.

The second part, what's it? Is there a possibility of extinction of dinosaurs when a comet hits the Earth?

Third......

Campbell read several articles in a row, and when he was a little dizzy, he saw a 'big headline, content.

"Strong annihilation?"

He read the introduction with doubts, and then noticed the author's name.

The reason why he didn't notice it at first was because he saw two unfamiliar names, Helen Hinton and Chen Mengmeng.

After downloading the paper, he noticed that the corresponding author, Wang Hao?

Campbell stood up smartly, and then he knew that he didn't need to review it, so he immediately passed it, and marked the sentence 'Wang Hao, release it directly'.

After confirming that the paper would be published directly, Campbell exhaled lightly and patiently read the content of the paper.

This time I was really patient, and it was a morning when I looked at it.

Although it is not a careful review of the word, I also skimmed through the content of the subject, and knew that the main argument was the effect of strong annihilation on particles, and came to an important conclusion--

Persistent, strong annihilation will make the structure of the particle more stable and cause the particle to weaken.

"The conclusion ......"

Campbell felt a little puzzled, and he went back to the end to look for a moment, and suddenly thought of the controversy in the international physics community about the existence of dark matter.

Suddenly, he understood.

Campbell realized that there was a big problem, and he immediately called Magdalena Skipper to explain the paper submitted by Wang Hao, as well as the problems with the content.

"That's another explanation for dark matter, making up for the lack of explanations in the field of astrophysics when dark matter doesn't exist."

"But it's definitely controversial, and now the existence of dark matter is already an international academic issue."

"The more scholars believe in Parsons' theory, and when this study is published, it is not clear whether it will have an impact......

Magdalena Skipper didn't care at all, but said with great interest, "Just follow the next issue."

"No, just put it on the website, release it on the network in advance, and it is publicly and free to publish, hanging on the homepage!"

"Campbell, you know, we are just an academic journal, and our job is to publish scholars' papers, Wang Hao's latest research, many scholars will be interested."

"That's enough!"

"Our job is to let as many scholars see the papers they are interested in, and whether they will cause controversy......

"If there is, it's the best."

Now Campbell understood.

He did think a little complicated, they just published papers, as for the controversy within the annihilation theory, what does it have to do with them?

Most importantly, Wang Hao decided to publish his paper in the journal Nature instead of Science.

This is an opportunity that must be seized.

……

The journal "Nature" uses actions to explain what is called "publication speed."

Wang Hao submitted the paper two days ago, and only two days later, the paper appeared on the big screen news on the main website of the journal Nature.

"Wang Hao's latest achievement!"

Below is a subheading, "Oblivion."

After clicking on the news page, you will see a simple description of the 'Strong Annihilation Power, research, and a link to download it for free.

The approach of the journal "Nature" also really shows sincerity, they have not been reviewed, just like publishing news, directly hanging the paper on the main website, so that everyone can download and watch it directly.

Those who don't subscribe to Nature can also download and watch it for free.

This will make the paper visible to more people.

Wang Hao was shocked by the speed and way of publishing, and he received a lot of special treatment, but this time it was very different.

"Didn't you say that Nature-Physics should be reviewed?"

He was a little confused, "I remember that when I submitted my paper two years ago, I said that it would definitely need peer review......

Helen was the first to see the news of the paper, and she was also very surprised, but also a little depressed, "That news picture has my and Meng Meng's names on it at all."

"yes, we were supposed to be one."

"It turned out to be only Mr. Wang...

The two female students looked at Wang Hao with grievances.

Wang Hao could only laugh, "There is no way to do this. Otherwise, next time I submit an article, I will emphasize it with them?"

"Next time?"

"Where is the next time......

"Maybe, but I'll have already graduated by then."

……

The paper on the homepage of the official website of the journal Nature is sure to attract the attention of many scholars.

At the beginning, everyone only noticed that it was Wang Hao's published paper, and later found out that the authors were Helen and Chen Mengmeng, and Wang Hao was the corresponding author.

The corresponding author is very important, sometimes even more important than the first author.

This is mainly because the corresponding author is often the project recipient, the research team leader, or the mentor.

Wang Hao is the mentor of Helen and Chen Mengmeng, and the research is completed by him under his guidance.

The author of the study is only one aspect, what is more important is the content of the paper.

In fact, in the academic world, 'strong annihilation, which is not attractive, and feels like it is faster than the speed of light, is just a conceptual problem.'

What happens to the speed of light beyond?

big

Many people are just curious, but not very interested, because human technology cannot achieve faster than the speed of light.

When the content of the paper is studied in depth, many scholars find that something is wrong, and the main content of the paper is to demonstrate the effect of strong annihilation force on the production of particles.

The first is that it will cause a reaction inside the atom, increasing the force inside the atom, causing the electrons to have a 'singular reaction'.

At the same time, it will also make the atomic structure more stable, and the particle structure will become more stable, and the direct effect is the weakening of the external nature of the substance.

Further understanding shows that the content of the paper on strong annihilation is directly related to the problem of dark matter.

Sportson, a physics professor at the University of Manchester, explains, "Strong annihilation weakens the particle's behavior, which is simply understood as a weakening of the external performance."

"For example, when exposed to light, the absorbed light is weakened."

"Suppose there is a section that can absorb fifty percent of the light energy."

"If the material properties that make up the facet are weakened, then the absorption rate of light energy will not reach 50 percent, it may be 40 percent, 30 percent, and so on."

"In other words, the external manifestations of particles, matter, and some physical properties are diminished."

"In astronomy, if some galaxies have a large number of regions of strong annihilation, in which the material properties are weakened, the spectrum of their scattering will also be weakened."

"This will affect astronomical calculations for the study of the mass of galaxies."

"Today's astronomy is a spectral analysis of the mass of galaxies. Of course, we can't measure it directly, and the data we get can only be combined images......

Polson concludes, "The weakening of particle properties under the action of strong annihilation forces replaces the role of dark matter in astrophysics."

Florida State University.

In a large classroom on the third floor of a teaching building, an open class on theoretical physics is being held.

Ridley Parsons was the keynote speaker at the Open Lecture, and he talked about "Building Dark Matter on the Basis of Annihilation Theory."

Now Parsons is an academic star at Florida State University, and he has a large number of admirers, and many students love to listen to his lectures, not only because of his achievements, but also because of his funny teaching style.

Parsons likes to give public lectures to promote his theories.

He was convinced of one thing.

For a theory that cannot be verified, when more people believe it, it will naturally become a true theory.

In fact, just like religion, the existence of gods is uncertain, but the more people believe in them, the gods exist in people's hearts.

If the whole world believes in the existence of a certain deity, someone who says that it does not exist will become a pagan.

Parsons doesn't lecture alone, he also has a friend who helps out, and his friend is also a heavyweight.

Wenji Lin is the head of the Anti-Gravity Research Group at the National Physical Laboratory at Florida State University.

Lin Wenji and Parsons became good friends because their research complemented each other.

Lin hopes that Parsons will provide a theoretical basis to help research on antigravity.

Now that Lin Wenji's anti-gravity team has made a new discovery, he hopes that Parsons will be involved in explaining the new discovery with the annihilation theory.

"If we can complete this research, we may win the Nobel Prize." Lin Wenji said with confidence.

Parsons, of course, was very interested.

So he and Lin Wenji became good friends, and invited Lin Wenji to hold an open class together.

Half of this public lecture was Lin Wenji explaining the relationship between annihilation and anti-gravity experiments, and the other half was Parsons promoting his theory, "Annihilation theory is an important physical foundation, and the existence of annihilation force can construct all physical phenomena as we know."

"This certainly includes dark matter, which my research believes is the most important component of the universe, and can even be understood as the basis for the existence of matter."

"Dark matter supports the existence of the Higgs particle......

"Although human beings have not discovered dark matter so far, I believe that it is only a matter of means, we exist in the three-dimensional universe, and we need some special means to be able to discover dark matter that is different from the three-dimensional composition......

"At the same time, we need to construct more theoretical foundations and continue to demonstrate ......."

Parsons said excitedly.

After the course ended, a student told him, "The first page of the journal "Nature" has a new replacement for dark matter, which is Wang Hao's research."

Parsons and Lin Wenji returned to the office together and immediately studied the content of "Strong Annihilation".

They are all top physicists, so it's easy to see the key.

"Particle form weakening?"

"Impossible!"

"How can a strong annihilation force exist, it doesn't exist at all!"

"It's fiction!"

Parsons subconsciously denied it, because the effect of strong annihilation on the weakening of particle form is almost equivalent to a direct denial of his research.

Parsons said to Lin Wenji with certainty, "No one can prove the existence of strong annihilation."

"It's just a theory, and mine is a theory, but I believe my research is more credible!"

Parsons was a little flustered for a moment, but he calmed down a lot after thinking about it.

Because, it can't be proven.

Even if there is a theory of strong annihilation, but the theory is just a theory, as long as the strong annihilation force is not discovered, it is impossible to prove that his research is wrong.

It's like, 'Beyond the speed of light, you can only argue what happens, and who can prove it?'

Everyone believes in the results of the calculations of the theory of relativity, so there is a positive answer.

If you don't believe it, what can you do?

It won't have an impact anyway.

So Parsons became calm, and he kept emphasizing with Lin Wenji that his research was correct.

Lin Wenji's reaction was a little weird, he just said a few words in a coping manner, obviously a little absent-minded.

In fact, Lin Wenji thought of his new discovery.

His anti-gravity experimental group used the method of triple superposition of force fields, and found that after the metal object passed through the edge of the superimposed force field, a weak magnetic field reaction appeared on the surface.

The discovery was likely to be staggering, and he wanted Parsons to participate in the research and base the explanation on the theory of annihilation.

It doesn't seem to be needed anymore!

In the argument of "Strong Annihilation Force", the conclusion of the electron singular reaction is just related to the research, so the edge of the superimposed force field is the strong annihilation force?

There are theories, there are experiments.

This discovery is made public, and it may be a Nobel Prize-level achievement!

Lin Wenji thought about it and took a deep breath, and he decided not to be friends with Parsons anymore.
