Chapter 499: The Lively Physics Community
With the end of the first half of the presentation, the relevant news quickly spread in the physics community.
During the lunch break, many of the younger scholars who participated in the report posted their videos and pictures on different websites.
On PhysicsForums, the videos and pictures related to the first half of the presentation, especially the question of Professor David Gross, have been marked as a hot topic by many physicists and caused a lot of discussions.
[I heard that Professor Xu's paper was found to be flawed!] 】
[Really fake, he actually makes mistakes sometimes?? 】
[There are so many papers on him, which one are you talking about?] 】
[What else can there be in physics, the one that is in today's presentation, the unified framework of strongly correlated electronic systems, I heard that Professor David Gross has identified the problem. 】
[The news upstairs is outdated, the flaws are true, but not entirely true!] Professor Gross did find the flaw in the paper, but Professor Xu solved it directly on the spot! 】
[Watt Hair? On-site solution? Is it so fierce? 】
[Yes, and that defect still involves the unified theory of strong electricity.] 】
[Unification of strong electricity? 】
[Partly, I don't know if it's correct, but Professor Xu said that he will hold a three-day discussion to verify it.] 】
PhysicsForum is one of the more well-known papers in the physics field, and many physicists at home and abroad have registered accounts and spoken on it. In addition, there are some official organizations that will also set up accounts on it to publish some news and expand their influence.
Therefore, the discussion on this forum can basically reflect the popularity of one thing in the physics community.
To be honest, in the beginning, the theoretical discussion of a unified framework for strongly correlated electronic systems was not very high on the forum.
Despite its extreme difficulty and sufficient status in physics, the paper is not very friendly to the average scholar, and most of the scholars who discuss it in the forum are difficult to understand.
The discussion on the forum is only limited to some aspects of eating melons, but after it involves the unified theory of strong electricity, the popularity began to soar.
After all, when it comes to the unified theory of strong electricity, those who can go to water on this forum can basically talk about two sentences.
On the other hand, it is not only professional academic forums that are hotly discussed, but also some social networking sites.
Even though most people may not have even heard of what a strongly correlated electronic system is, most people have heard of the epic problem of strong and weak electrical unification, or the unification of strong and weak electric forces.
After all, it's just too famous.
Of course, compared with the exchanges and discussions that are more rational and pay more attention to the problem itself than on the professional forum, the reaction of the public netizens is basically not in the problem itself.
[Did you hear that?] That Professor Xu unified the theory of strong electricity? 】
What the hell? Is it him again? 】
[If I'm not mistaken, he's already solved two millennial puzzles.] 】
[This is also terrible, if this continues, will all the mathematical and physical problems in the world be solved by him? ] 】
[Am I crazy or is he crazy, or is the whole world crazy?] 】
[I watched that video, but I don't understand it, I just want to ask, is this amazing?] 】
[Nonsense, you can't understand it, can you not be amazing? ] 】
[I think if he can understand this theory, then it will be really powerful.] 】
【. 】
On the Internet, the related heat is constantly fermenting.
In reality, the report meeting on the theory of the unified framework of strongly correlated electronics was also completed in a stable and orderly manner under the organization of NTU.
Compared with the first half, the physicists present in the second half were obviously more interested in the "Typical Behavior Theory of Small Polarons in Strong Electro-Phonon Interaction Systems" completed by Xu Chuan at the presentation.
The questions in the afternoon were basically related to this theory.
This is normal, on the one hand it is a completely new theory.
On the other hand, the strong electron-phonon interaction system involves some fields of strong electrical unification.
For the physics community, the unified theory of strong electricity is one of the ultimate dreams pursued by all physicists in this century.
Although there is a gravitational force behind it, for today's physics, it can be said that there is basically no hope for a unified gravitational force in this century.
Therefore, the second best thing is to mathematically unify the three forces of strong and weak electricity is the dream of all physicists in the 21st century.
Now that this dream has seen a glimmer of hope, how can it not be exciting?
Although the strong electro-phonon interaction system is only a small part of the field of strong electrical unification, it has opened a gap to the goal.
Continuing along this route is undoubtedly more promising than the previous directionless drilling.
After the report meeting, Xu Chuan continued to have a targeted discussion and exchange meeting on the "typical behavior theory of small polarons" and "the unity of strong and weak electricity" at the venue of NTU.
Although many scholars left due to various things, at least half of the physicists who came to the lecture remained.
Some stayed for one day, others for three days.
In addition to these physicists who came from afar, there were also many domestic scholars who had not come to participate in the report meeting, and they also rushed over by high-speed rail.
The typical behavior theory of small polarons under the strong electro-phonon interaction system has opened up a way for the unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity, which is enough to be worth the expectation and run of all physicists.
During these three days, in addition to discussing the typical behavior theory of small polarons, Xu Chuan also heard many physicists' questions and ideas about the unified theory of strong electricity.
He did not hide his research in this area, and devoted himself to communicating with the scholars who came to discuss with him.
The unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity is not only the dream of these physicists, but also his dream.
It's just that the road is not so easy to follow.
After all, if it were easy, it wouldn't be that many physicists in the physics community today are spinning around like headless flies.
There are all kinds of conjectures and theories, but a way to break through has never been found.
There is no way, before the unification of the three forces of strong and weak electricity, there is still a 'basic' threshold to be solved in the physics community, that is, the problem of 'Yang-Mills existence and mass gap'.
This millennial problem in the field of mathematics is in front of the unity of the three forces, like a lion guarding the treasure, and if this problem is not solved, it can be said that even the threshold of the unity of the three forces of strong and weak electricity cannot be touched.
And this kind of top-notch problem of the century, for Xu Chuan, even if he has the advantage of solving it, it may not be possible to complete it by one person's strength.
The collision of sparks of different thinking can give birth to more inspiration and ideas.
Three days was not a long time, and it passed quickly in the exchange.
With the departure of many physics circles, the NTU campus has returned to its former tranquility.
Although the students are still bustling with students coming and going, it is still much colder than the pomp and circumstance of those top physicists who can be seen almost casually on campus in the past few days.
After staying up for two days and nights, after driving out the paper "Typical Behavior Theory of Small Polarons in Strong Electron-Phonon Interaction Systems", Xu Chuan sorted it out and submitted it to Physical Review Letters, one of the four major journals in the physics community, together with the paper "Unified Framework Theory of Strongly Correlated Electron Systems".
This is the top journal in physics, and its impact factor is second only to Physics Reports.
The latter has a high impact factor because it is a review. The journal publishes an overview of research on important issues in the field of physics.
Under normal circumstances, the journal generally does not accept submissions, and the articles published in the journal are usually invited by the journal to invite famous physicists to comprehensively summarize, explain and summarize the research in a certain field.
That's why it's influential.
As for the "Physical Review Letters", it is the No. 1 in the normal submission journal, and if the status is compared, it is probably about the same as the "Annals of Mathematics" in the field of mathematics.
After submitting the two papers, Xu Chuan didn't care about this matter anymore.
But he didn't care, but the tide of physics was just beginning to rise.
arxiv, paper after paper began to erupt wildly.
I have to say that today's theoretical physics community is really a place where you can be idle.
The last time Xu Chuan found out the traces of the existence of inert neutrinos and explored the dark matter and dark energy behind it, the same was true on arxiv, and various related papers were swiped one after another.
This time is the same, the traces of the unity of the strong interaction and the strong and weak electric forces have once again brought the theoretical physics community to a climax.
Those ordinary physicists, one by one, are hurrying to write papers, and then rush to send them to arxiv to occupy the pit.
There's no way, those bigwigs who stand at the top have almost occupied all the places they can occupy. It is so difficult for an ordinary theoretical physicist to want a logically perfect paper that can withstand preliminary scrutiny, and it is simply tear-jerking.
It can only be said that there is nothing new in the field of theoretical physics, and the place for those college students to graduate and graduate water graduation theses is almost gone.
PS: Yesterday I worked overtime until one o'clock in the morning, so I didn't have time to update, sorry, readers, I made up for it tonight.
