It's been a long time since anything big has happened to the physics community.

Even the discovery of the Zcs (3985) peculiar hadron by Gao Neng is not a big event that can shake the entire physics community.

Because this new particle has actually been predicted by various existing models for a long time, it is only a matter of time before it is discovered, and for the entire physics community, it is probably equivalent to making up a puzzle piece of a puzzle that is known to be shaped.

The greatest significance of this is to verify the correctness of the standard model in the past.

而只有类似发现超对称粒子这种在整个宇宙的基本组成中都承担着重要职能的粒子，并且还能够揭示新理论的粒子，才足够让全世界的物理学家们为之震动，就像当初的希格斯粒子一样。

当然这种是实验上能够给物理学界带来震动的，而在理论方面能给物理学界带来震动的，标准模型的建立算是其中之一，而同样的，推翻过去的标准模型，建立出一个新的标准模型出来，也绝对算是其中之一。

However, the Standard Model has long been considered the most successful theory and has not gone wrong for decades, so the vast majority of physicists do not believe that the Standard Model can be overturned under the current circumstances.

Unless they actually find supersymmetric particles, or validate string theory.

But alas, at the end of 2020, when all physicists were ready for the new year, Arxiv's paper broke their peace of mind.

……

As the most cutting-edge research position in particle physics, CERN can be said to be the first to feel the turmoil in any particle physics community.

So, at the end of December, at CERN, all the researchers stopped the research work at hand, and the top experts in the field of particle physics were very serious at the end of the day.

This sudden change caught ordinary researchers and interns off guard.

"Do you know what's going on? Today, Professor Davidson's expression seems to have been wrong since the morning, after lunch, he went to the meeting, and never came back, and did not let the members of our group continue to do research, so it was a rare vacation. ”

Several interns who had come here from China gathered together and chatted.

Another person was surprised and said, "Is Professor Davidson like that?" ”

"yes, is it the same with your Professor Clear?"

"Yes, we're on vacation too, and Professor Clear is going to a meeting."

"No wonder you all have time today."

"But what happened? Did the collider malfunction? ”

"Probably not, or there would have been a notice?"

"Anyway, I remember when Professor Devinson told us that he was on vacation, he said, 'There is no point in continuing to study for the time being.'"

"Physics doesn't exist anymore?"

One joked.

A group of people suddenly opened their minds.

"There's Tomoko in the LHC?"

"The Trisolarans are coming?"

“sir，this way.”

……

After a bit of a joke, someone finally said why: "I heard...... It's just that I've heard about it, it seems that there is a new paper on arxiv that modifies the previous Standard Model, and there is no problem mathematically found. ”

"It's the same as saying that physics still exists, but it has to be torn down and reconstructed."

"Huh?"

Hearing this explanation, the eyes of several others widened in shock.

The Standard Model, which they had been studying for so long, had been modified like this?

Oh, my God!

It's no less than telling them that 1+1 doesn't equal 2, but 3!

"Really? Who wrote that paper? Could it be the great god Edward Witten? ”

"No, the author's name should be known to everyone, it is Li Mu."

"Li Mu?! Didn't he study mathematics? ”

For a moment, several others were shocked again.

李牧的名字，作为华国人的他们，当然算是如雷贯耳。

Merely...... Li Mu actually overturned the standard model of the past and then rebuilt it?

Are you kidding!

Suddenly, at this time, a voice came: "Hey, Chen, that Li Mu of your country is simply God!" ”

几个人转头看去，都不由一愣，这个人叫基里曼·弗恩，称得上是他们CERN中最优秀的青年研究员之一，仅仅三十岁，就已经做出过很多重要的成果，不仅直接被CERN聘请为研究员，并且已经进入到了诸如马克斯·普朗克奖章以及狄拉克奖章等等奖项的候选人名单中，在理论物理学界可谓是颇有名气。

The person Keriman Fern shouted was Chen Ming, and they would know each other, also because they had the experience of studying in the same group before, but even then, they hadn't communicated much, and now Kiriman Fern actually took the initiative to greet them?

Fern walked up to them and sat down, and continued with excitement on his face: "It is said that physics is God's game, and mathematics is God's game rules, so Li Mu will definitely be able to communicate with God!" Otherwise, he wouldn't have known the rules of the game so thoroughly. ”

“oh！ It's just crazy! ”

Listening to Fern's excited words, Chen Ming and several people looked at each other, and it was not until the end that Chen Ming asked, "Fern, are you talking about the paper that Li Mu published on arxiv?" ”

"yes!" Fern nodded, "It was the paper that was published yesterday, I spent the whole night studying this paper, and believe me, you will definitely be as excited as I am when you read it!" ”

"This ......"

Chen Ming and the others felt that it was necessary for them to take a look at this paper immediately.

Suddenly, at this moment, Fern's cell phone rang, and he answered the call.

"Want a meeting? Mr. President? Want to focus on Li Mu's paper? Okay, okay, I got it, I'll come now. ”

Putting down the phone, Fern patted Chen Ming on the shoulder, "It's time for me to go, I suggest you and your friends read that paper in advance, maybe it won't be long before we all have to work on this new standard model." ”

Then he left the place, presumably for a conference that would have an impact on the entire physics community.

And Chen Ming, who stayed in place, glanced at each other.

Chen Ming took the lead in getting up and said, "I'll go back first, I have to read the paper." ”

Several others also got up.

"Me too."

"Gone, gone."

Theoretical physics is like that.

Based on the framework established by a general theory, all scholars are also filling in this framework, and once the theory changes, then the whole framework must be changed, and the scholars in it must adapt to the new framework.

Otherwise, those who can't adapt to the new framework can only be eliminated.

Just a few days later, Li Mu's paper turned the entire physics community upside down.

百分之七、八十的物理学者们都有些茫然。

Wake up and their Standard Model is a thing of the past?

And the non-perturbation method that they have been using for so long is about to become a thing of the past?

As for the thesis......

Many of them have seen it, but the key is that they can't understand it.

Among them, there are already Fields Medal bigwigs like Deligne who have said about the newly expanded derivation process: "Let's not discuss the correctness of the conclusions of this paper, from a purely mathematical point of view, this is definitely a Fields Medal-level achievement, and the process is difficult not to be reminiscent of Ramanujan - oh no, probably Ramanujan will be amazed by it here." ”

Even such a big guy said so, so they still don't want to understand this paper.

What if you can't understand it?

Let's wait for the physics community to come to a unified conclusion.

However, thinking so, the bigwigs of the entire physics community have already started a fight over this.

The results of this paper are very subversive, but it is also controversial because of its subversiveness.

Especially in conclusions.

The calculation of the mass of W bosons in the new model has become the key to the doubts expressed by many bulls.

As with Witten's attitude, this is tantamount to denying the results of the experiment.

Physics is an experimental science, and only experimental results negate theories, and there can be no theories that negate experimental results.

However, the physicists who support this new theory have only one attitude: there is nothing wrong with the mathematical derivation of this paper, so the conclusion is very believable.

These physicists are very pure mathematical physicists, and they always believe in the decisive role of mathematics in physics, so Li Mu's paper successfully convinced them.

And Edward Witten, including Edward Witten, also stood up and expressed strong support.

In just one week, he reintegrated the previous M theory according to this new expansion formula, which directly made the M theory more perfect.

This is also the dawn he sees, that is, to achieve "backward compatibility" of M theory, that is, to be compatible with those theories with lower energy levels, that is, theories such as molecules, atoms, protons, electrons, etc., which can only be tested with collision experiments at lower energy levels.

The biggest problem with M-theory is that it cannot solve non-perturbation problems using pure mathematics, and if it does, M-theory, as the "ultimate theory", can be used to explain the results of experiments at low energy levels.

Now, Li Mu's Li development has completely made the non-perturbation problem a thing of the past in mathematics, which naturally has great significance for the M theory.

"Now that the M theory has been perfected again, the non-perturbation problem can no longer stop us, and as long as we achieve compatibility with the low-energy theory, then we will not need to find strings to prove the M theory, and any existing experimental data will help us prove the correctness of the M theory."

"And Li Mu's work, as well as the development of Li's family, both for the physics and mathematics communities, are worthy of all of us to celebrate and cherish."

Edward Witten's manifesto aroused the support of the entire school of string theory.

Li Mu's theory, for all string theorists, is like a beam of light in the darkness, illuminating their hopes.

So, of course, they all showed great support.

In this way, the heated debate made the entire physics community lively.

It's like the debate between quantum mechanics and relativity.

Eventually, all eyes were on CERN.

As a sacred place for today's high-energy physics community, bringing together half of the world's high-energy physicists, CERN's views on Lee's development will be of absolute significance.

于是乎，足足过了一个月后，CERN才向整个物理学界宣布了一件事情。

[Based on the paper "A New Standard Model Series Expansion" published by Li Mu in arxiv on December 29, 2020, after some careful discussion among CERN scholars, CERN now makes the following announcement to the physics community: We recognize the new expansion of the Standard Model in this paper, and will use it as an important guiding theory in our future research, and in the future scientific plan, verifying the Standard Model of Lee's expansion will also become our primary goal. Finally, I hope that particle physicists all over the world will take this new theory seriously, and that the changes in the physics world sometimes happen overnight, and I hope that everyone can keep up with the times. 】

CERN's announcement amazed all physicists.

Because this already means that the Standard Model developed by Lee's has been officially accepted by the physics community.

On the milestone of the history of physics, Li Mu's name will be branded from now on.

……

"Li Mu, the new model you came up with, the High Energy Institute is now being studied by all of them."

"In addition, your prediction of the neutral adjoint state particles of Zcs (3985) in your paper has also been included in the priority task of the next stage, and this time, we should be able to find it."

"You kid...... That's amazing. ”

On the phone, Academician Yue Lang said the last sentence with emotion.

Li Mu said with a smile: "I just did it by accident." ”

"By chance?" Yue Lang laughed for a moment, and finally didn't say much, and said, "No matter what, I called you to tell you that you are considered a graduate from me, and I have nothing to teach you." ”

"Congratulations."
