After explaining the relevant information about inert neutrinos, David Gross pushed his glasses and re-spoke: "The following is a routine question session, and I would like to invite Professor Chen Zhengping from Huaguo to answer your questions on behalf of Professor Xu Chuan. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping, who had already been prepared, took a deep breath, tidied up his suit, calmly walked onto the podium, and stood with David Gross, the chairman of CERN.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Almost the moment the words fell, a pair of hands in the venue quickly bounced up as if they had been stabbed by the tip of a needle.

"Hello Professor Gross, hello Professor Chen, I'm a media reporter for CTV, what does your latest discovery mean? Is it related to dark matter? Can you please explain it to the general public? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Zhengping slowly spoke: "The discovery of inert neutrinos is of great significance to both the physical community and the entire human race. ”

"First of all, it is the first particle that we have observed and confirmed that exceeds the predictions of the Standard Model. Its appearance broke the Standard Model and told us that there is more to the universe than just the Standard Model, and that there are more unknowns. ”

"Secondly, whether it has anything to do with dark matter, this cannot be determined."

"Due to the limited performance of the observation equipment, we only confirmed its existence and part of its properties and information for the observation of inert neutrinos, while there is another part of its properties hidden in the fog of chaos, and we cannot confirm it."

"Of course, this is also the meaning of the existence of the physics community, to find the mystery, to solve the mystery, if one day, our observation equipment can observe the full picture of the inert neutrino, maybe we can solve whether it is related to dark matter."

When the words fell, the BBC, a broadcaster on which the sun never set, immediately stretched out the microphone in his hand: "Hello Academician Chen, may I ask why Professor Xu did not come to the press conference this time, is he researching something new?" Can you tell us about that? ”

Chen Zhengping glanced at the reporter: "You can choose to go to Huaguo to ask Professor Xu about this question, I don't know." Next. ”

Hearing this, another reporter quickly handed over the microphone: "Hello Professor Chen, will the discovery of inert neutrinos tear down the physics edifice of the Standard Model?" ”

Chen Zhengping: "No, inert neutrinos are indeed particles beyond the prediction of the Standard Model, but it does not mean that the Standard Model will be overthrown. ”

"It's more likely that the physics community will build a new physics edifice outside of the Standard Model and use it to accommodate the wider world."

The moment he finished answering, a microphone came up at a gallop.

"Academician Chen, according to Professor Xu's previously published theory, inert neutrinos are part of dark matter, when will we be able to officially observe dark matter and dark energy? How long does it take to utilize these two substances? ”

Chen Zhengping pondered for a moment and replied: "Regarding the question of the relationship between inert neutrinos and dark matter, I am more inclined to consult Professor Xu, he is the real authority in this regard, and I cannot answer it on his behalf." ”

"When dark matter and dark energy can be officially observed depends on when our observation equipment and colliders can be upgraded to a sufficient standard threshold."

"As for the use of these two substances, I'm afraid it will take at least a century or more."

The launch of CERN is over.

The Q&A session lasted a full hour.

The news that inert neutrinos have been confirmed to be real and may be related to dark matter and dark energy quickly dominated the headlines.

"CTV Media": Professor Xu, a well-known scholar in China, confirmed the existence of inert neutrinos, which is the first particle ever beyond the prediction of the Standard Model, or related to dark matter!"

"The Wall Street Journal: CERN's Significant Discovery, Particles Beyond the Standard Model! Our universe is more mysterious than you think! ”

"BBC Daily: Professor Xu Chuan, who was unable to attend the press conference, may be conducting more mysterious research than inert neutrinos."

"The Washington Post: Be vigilant, China's latest discovery could destroy the world, and inert neutrinos will open the door to an unknown hell."

The New York Times.

Whether it is traditional print media or online media, after CERN's press conference, almost all of them are swept up by terms such as 'cern', 'inert neutrino', 'dark matter', 'dark energy', 'Professor Xu'.

Almost all media outlets include eye-catching names such as dark matter or the universe in their headlines to attract traffic.

And for the general public, dark matter is undoubtedly quite attractive.

After all, it is unusually mysterious, only in theory, and has never been observed.

The news reports of major media, coupled with the forwarding of some technology bloggers and big Vs, related news rushed to the hot search at a very fast speed.

By the time netizens reacted, inert neutrinos and dark matter directly occupied the top spot on major software platforms.

[Gan, it's all a title party! ] I thought I had really discovered dark matter. 】

[How can dark matter be so easy to find, what kind of degenerate neutrino, doesn't it mean that only half of it has been observed, and the other half belonging to dark matter has not been observed. 】

[To discover dark matter, with the current performance of human colliders and detectors, it must be improved by at least a few orders of magnitude. 】

[Human beings search for dark matter, just like a thinking fish on the bottom of the sea who wants to know water. In the fish's worldview, it may never be able to perceive the presence of water.

And we human beings can see the existence of water from the perspective of God, and can also invent the theory of atoms, solid, liquid and gas, which can unify the world we see, but you can't explain it to the fish, so you have to stand in the fourth dimension to see dark matter. 】

[Witness the day of history, the new particles beyond the standard model, Kawajin deserves to be a god! This time the physical godhood is stable. 】

[The material for the first question of the multiple-choice question in politics for the postgraduate entrance examination this morning is dark matter, and I just watched the press conference, and I understand it very well, but the answer is a little uncertain]

[If you don't understand, ask why there is a question about dark matter in the politics test? ] 】

[Indecision, quantum mechanics. The quality is not enough, and the dark matter makes up! 】

[Six, it's also rhymed. 】

[Dark matter does not necessarily exist, it is only a matter of the scope of adaptation of existing theories. It's similar to the previous concept of aether. To put it bluntly, it's just a patch for the theory of relativity put on by scientists. 】

[Don't say much, I'll just say one word, the Sichuan god is awesome! ] 】

【. 】

As expected, the discovery of inert neutrinos has become the brightest research achievement in physics this year.

Putting aside the discussion of netizens for the time being, on the other hand, on preprint websites such as Arxiv, theories and papers related to inert neutrinos and dark matter have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the number is so huge that it can be said that it is extremely rare.

There are physicists who speculate and complement the undiscovered properties of inert neutrinos; There are also physicists who speculate about the relationship between inert neutrinos and dark matter

Countless physicists, not only graduate and doctoral students, but also physics professors and even the biggest names in the physics community, have come up to put together their ideas and upload them to the Arxiv preprint website.

After all, there is a default rule in the physics community: "Those prestigious prizes, such as the Nobel Prize, such as the Wolf Prize in Physics, etc., are not awarded to the discoverer of a particle or phenomenon." Instead, it will be sent to the proposer. ”

For example, in 12/13, CERN discovered the Higgs particle, but the Nobel Prize was not awarded to CERN, but to Peter Higgs, who proposed the Higgs boson theory, as was François Engler.

Even if the Higgs boson theory was proposed in the 60th year of the last century.

So even if the inert neutrino was discovered by Xu Chuan, the probability that he will win the Nobel Prize is not 100%. Because the inert neutrino was not proposed by him, but by physicists in the United States.

Of course, due to the discovery of inert neutrinos, the possibility of Xu Chuan winning the Nobel Prize is not impossible.

This is because in the past, although scientists in the United States proposed the concept of inert neutrinos, they did not make detailed data predictions about them.

Because it can't be done.

After all, it is quite difficult to make predictions about particles that are not observable and not in the Standard Model.

This time, however, the relevant data was perfected by him.

So if he can continue to improve the information on inert neutrinos in the future, he still has a chance to win another Nobel Prize.

It's just that for Xu Chuan, the Nobel Prize is not very attractive to him.

Not to mention his previous life, just the physical achievements he made in this life have several Nobel Prize-level achievements.

Of course, the Nobel Prize, which is not very attractive to him, is simply infinite to other physicists.

Moreover, inert neutrinos are particles beyond the Standard Model, they are the foundation of a new edifice of physics, and the future is not only bright, but also a new world.

Therefore, after the discovery of inert neutrinos, countless physicists have begun to 'perfect' the properties of inert neutrinos, and have begun to 'speculate' the properties of dark matter, and then bet on them.

After all, anything is possible, and if you bet on it right, you may be able to win the Nobel Prize in a few decades.

It's just that the problem of winning the Nobel Prize from the unknown is too high, and it is more difficult than winning the jackpot in the lottery.

On the one hand, if a completely new theory, or prediction of a certain particle, wants to be accepted by the physics community, at least your theory must be logically autonomous, and it must stand on its ground, and it cannot be overturned.

Like Edward Witten's string theory and M theory, it may take two, three, or even more centuries to prove that it is far away.

But again, if it is to be falsified, no one in the current physics community has been able to disprove string theory and M theory.

Because it's really logically self-consistent, and the theory exists.

In this respect, the difficulty can be described as quite large.

Because you have to understand not only this granular, but all kinds of other physics. For example, the theory of relativity, Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and so on.

And it can't be a half-understood kind of understanding, it has to be a fairly in-depth understanding.

Otherwise, other bigwigs will look at your papers and theories, and they will point out loopholes or problems to you.

Therefore, the vast majority of people who bet on the treasure have basically failed.

In the long history of the physics community, there are only one or two lucky ones.

For example, Louis Victor de Broglie, a French theoretical physicist, the founder of the theory of matter waves, and one of the founders of quantum mechanics.

De Broglie did not study physics at first, he was a wealthy second-generation wealthy family who studied history.

Later, because of family relations, I went to a good university, followed a good tutor, and happened to publish a half-guessing and half-academic graduation thesis, which was noticed by Einstein, which attracted wide attention from the academic community.

In the end, the physics community found out that he guessed correctly, and then the big guy accepted a Nobel Prize.

Of course, later in his academic career, de Broglie himself was not low in physics.

Even though he didn't study physics at the beginning, after entering the physics world, he still completed his knowledge of physics at a very fast speed.

However, the concept of "matter waves" he proposed during his college years is indeed half-guessed and half-ignorant, which fortunately can be said to be the son of heaven.

In contrast to de Broglie, in the history of physics, it is basically physicists who have made various famous theories and proved them correct.

For example, Einstein, such as Bohr, such as Planck, and so on.

Because without a solid knowledge of physics, it is impossible to make any correct theories and judgments.

In the fields of science such as mathematics and physics, even if there are some children of luck occasionally, they still have to rely on real power to speak.

As for the remaining data prediction of inert neutrinos, the properties of dark matter and data prediction, Xu Chuan naturally will not miss them.

As early as when he first analyzed the signs of inert neutrinos with 3sigma confidence, he had already predicted and published the remaining unobserved data on inert neutrinos.

After all, this in itself is his own achievement in the future, and there is no need for others to take it.

Even many of the theories on Arxiv's preprint website are based on his previously published forecasting theories.

After all, in the eyes of many people, it is better to follow the back of this big guy than to exhaust yourself to do some theories that you don't know if you can succeed.

The big guy's theory is definitely more reliable than his own, and if he expands and expands on it, it is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world.

The success rate is definitely more than being blind.

For these opportunists, Xu Chuan didn't care too much.

His research and observation of dark matter before his rebirth had only been in the beginning for a short time, and he didn't know what was behind it, let alone anyone else.

If this can be deceived by them, it will be considered luck.
