Academician Yue Lang's words stunned Li Mu.
"I...does this count as graduation?"
Yue Lang smiled and said, "Yes, this is considered graduation. It's like this here. You can do whatever you want to do after that."
"When you come back from Oxford, you can get your diploma and degree certificate. At that time, you will be officially graduated."
"This..." Li Mu asked curiously: "What about the graduation thesis?"
"Of course you still have to have a graduation thesis. Of course, you can wait until you officially graduate to write this thesis. Then our school will simply arrange a defense for you and that will be it. For you, it is a simple doctoral graduation. It’s just a paper, I’ll spend a week thinking about it, and it’ll be nice if I can publish it in terms of quality.”
Yue Lang said with a smile.
In fact, before Li Mu entered graduate school, Yue Lang knew that he probably wouldn't be able to teach Li Mu much. But it wasn't until a month ago, after Li Mu published the paper that shocked the entire physics community, that he found that he had even read it. When he didn't quite understand the paper, he was already preparing to talk to Li Mu about it.
Without him, facing Li Mu, he already felt the same feeling of being hit as Wu Mengyuan and Lin Yao did.
It would be best to get rid of this kid as soon as possible.
As for Li Mu, he still felt a little enlightened.
Is this Physics Ph.D. considered finished?
Is he already halfway through the final step of his student career?
It wasn't until a moment later that he came back to his senses, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
"Thank you, Academician Yue, for your cultivation."
As for writing a graduation thesis with quality that can be published in the first district, it is really not a big deal for him...
For him, publishing an ordinary first-level paper is almost a water paper.
"Haha, let's not talk about cultivating or not cultivating you. I don't think I have cultivated you in any way."
Yue Lang said: "I even want to ask you about the new standard model."
"Don't hesitate to ask for advice. If you have any questions, just ask."
"If you're going to say that, then I'm really going to ask?"
"Yeah." Li Mu said.
"My biggest problem still lies in the mass of the W boson, which is also the most concerned issue in the current physics community." Yue Lang said: "What do you think of this problem? How do you plan to solve it?"
This question...
After Li Mu was silent for a moment, he said, "I believe I am right."
"Of course, I also believe you are right. I also believe in the decisive role of mathematics in physics, and with such a rigorous mathematical process in your paper, I don't think you will get a wrong result."
Yue Lang said: "But problems always have to be solved. I hope you already have an idea on how to solve this problem."
The old physicist laughed and said, "This also helps me, at this age, to be able to further understand the truth of physics and the universe."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Don't worry, this problem will definitely be solved. I already have an idea."
"That's good, that's good." Yue Lang responded, and there seemed to be a sense of relaxation in his words.
For him, no matter how shocking the final truth is, he can accept it, because at his age, the more shocking the truth, the less regretful he will be in his later years.
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. Well...according to the calculation, the New Year is still a week away, so I'll say Happy New Year to you in advance." Yue Lang said with a smile: "If you calculate it like this, , your graduation can be regarded as a New Year gift."
Li Mu immediately laughed and said, "Thank you, Academician Yue. I like this New Year's gift very much."
"Then I'm also looking forward to your New Year's gift. Even if it comes a long time later, I will accept it."
"I will."
Without further chatting, the phone hung up.
Looking at the date displayed on the phone, February 4, 2021 is indeed only one week left before New Year's Eve.
At this time, he had already returned home from school.
There's nothing else to do at school anyway, so it's better to go home and wait for the New Year.
As for the fact that the physics community was in turmoil for a month because of his paper, he didn't even care much.
Even if the chairman of CERN personally called him and invited him to go to Europe to give a lecture to explain the Lee expansion of the Standard Model to the entire physics community, he temporarily declined, saying that he would need to wait for a while.
No matter how noisy the physics community is, he will always believe that his conclusion must be correct.
This not only comes from his confidence in his derivation process, but the most important thing is that the computer in his mind recognizes it.
A month ago, after he posted the paper on arxiv, the reward task was settled.
He still clearly remembers the settlement words of the system at that time.
[Describing the universe within a framework is the goal that all physics strives to achieve. Although the host's civilization is still a long way from this goal, the host's achievements have already allowed your civilization to advance on this path. This is a very solid step forward and I wish you the best to complete this framework in the foreseeable future. 】
Thinking of this passage, Li Mu couldn't help but shake his head.
In the foreseeable future, will we find a framework theory that unifies the entire universe?
He didn't have much hope for this.
Is string theory powerful enough?
But it would take a collider as big as the Earth to discover it.
So God knows how many years it will take for the theory that can unify the universe to be discovered.
At least he didn't think his hundred-year lifespan would last until that day.
Unless biotechnology can be greatly improved and allow human lifespan to escape - that is, the development speed of anti-aging technology exceeds the speed of human aging, allowing humans to escape the limit of lifespan.
But implementing this technology...
Biologists should first solve the problem of telomerase.
Shake his head and no longer think about the issue of life span.
Of course, no matter what, the reward for this mission is still very generous.
As a reward mission, it directly brought 10,000 energy points to Li Mu.
At this time, his upgrade progress has reached 28102/30000.
Of course, the most important thing is the special reward you get.
The special reward is very simple. It directly upgrades the level 2 real environment simulation of the universe that he has never used to the level 5 real environment simulation of the universe.
In other words, he can experience how powerful the simulation of the real environment of the universe is under the fifth-level mental computer.
His current mental computer is only at level three, and there are still two levels between it and level five. God knows how long it will take to reach level five.
This special reward is definitely very impressive.
After the reward tasks were settled this time, the system issued new tasks non-stop.
After entering his mind and opening the task panel, Li Mu took another look at this new task.
[Problems hidden in the new theory? 】
[Task introduction: Using theory to deny experiments may be a crazy approach to others, but it is obvious that the host is full of confidence in his own theory. However, when experimental conclusions conflict with theory, where is the fundamental problem that leads to this situation? Discover and solve it, and prove to the world that your confidence represents the truth. 】
[Task purpose: Solve problems in the new theory and prove to the academic community that your new theory is correct. 】
Obviously, this task is a continuation of the previous task, allowing Li Mu to face the current doubts in the physics community about his new theory, the Li expansion of the Standard Model.
The task was challenging, but it was just what he wanted.
In the face of doubts from academia, defending is never a good solution.
Because this situation can only be a waste of words, just like the debate between quantum mechanics and relativity, or the debate between string theorists and opponents of string theory. Neither side can provide absolute evidence to refute the other. So we can only keep arguing.
Only truth can speak louder than words, so Li Mu believes that when he comes up with undoubted proof, these arguments will be self-defeating.
It is precisely for this reason that he rejected CERN's invitation.
When he goes to CERN, he will definitely have arguments that can completely silence the physics community and tell the physicists who question him that he is right.
In fact, it is not just CERN that invited him. There are too many theoretical physics research organizations and various universities in the world that have sent invitations to him in the past month, such as ICTP International Center for Theoretical Physics, Max. Planck Society, MIT and other well-known institutions, but he rejected them all, and only replied that CERN would come later.
It can be regarded as telling the physics community through CERN that he will respond to related questions about the Lie expansion of the Standard Model.
Although too many physicists are wondering, why does he have to wait a while?
Don’t you know that the entire physics community is looking forward to his response?
But there was no way. Li Mu said he had to wait, so he could only wait. He couldn't force Li Mu to come over, right?
So this wave, this wave is called the whole physics community waiting for Li Mu.
"In the previous prediction of the standard model, the mass of the W boson was 80.357Gev, with a plus and minus error of 0.006Gev. However, under my Lie expansion, the calculated mass of the W boson was 80.4332Gev, with a plus and minus error of 0.006Gev. 0.0091Gev.”
"The difference is 0.1%. "
“The mass comes from the Higgs mechanism, the spontaneous symmetry breaking that gives gauge bosons mass.”
"Now that there is a quality bug, it is obvious to start with the Higgs mechanism first..."
Li Mu came back to his senses, lowered his head, and looked at the desk in front of him.
Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of scratch papers on the desk. The formulas listed on the scratch papers can give anyone a headache just by looking at them.
"What should we do after we get to this point?"
Li Mu frowned slightly.
Difficulties remain.
But he is also used to navigating difficult quagmire.
Time passed slowly, until at some point, the door suddenly opened.
"Dang-dang-dang!"
A familiar voice reached Li Mu's ears.
He turned around and saw, as expected, that it was Li Ruyu.
Li Ruyu came back from Shangjing by plane this morning. Calculating the time, he would be arriving home at about this time.
"Hey, why did you come back so early this year?"
"Hey, it's rare for Lao Chen to let me go home early this year."
"Let you?" Li Mu captured the key point in his words: "Not you?"
"I was discovered by you!" Li Ruyu chuckled: "Of course it's all thanks to you."
"Why?"
"Old Chen has assigned me a task. Our project has finally encountered a particularly troublesome mathematical problem. We need help from you, a mathematics expert. I came here to ask you to help."
"By the way, what are you studying again?"
After asking, Li Ruyu walked up, took a brief look at the draft papers on Li Mu's desk, and immediately froze: "Oh my God, it turns out you specialize in writing heavenly books!"
Li Mu: "..."
Shaking his head, it seemed that he didn't need to study anymore.
But that's okay. His research has now hit a bottleneck. Maybe it would be helpful to divert his attention at this time?
"Okay, let's talk about the problems you encountered."
