Time passed by suddenly.
After arriving at Oxford University, Li Mu adapted quickly and did not encounter any problems.
But the biggest problem he encountered was his diet.
Before coming here, he had heard all kinds of rumors about British food deserts. Only after coming here did he feel the truth of this statement.
There is a saying that goes well: He who can endure British winters and British food can endure anything.
Fortunately, Yun Rongshang, who has been here for more than half a year, has already figured it out and found a very good Chinese restaurant nearby.
The owner of this Chinese restaurant is Chinese, and the Chinese dishes he prepares are very authentic.
Of course, Li Mu couldn't go to this Chinese restaurant every day, so the toast that was indispensable almost every day filled his taste buds, and only fish and chips could make him feel slightly delicious—— But it is normal for this kind of high-calorie fried food to taste delicious.
In the end, he had no choice but to buy a small induction cooker, and occasionally eat it by himself, adding some seasonings and so on, but there was still no big problem in eating it.
What's more, you can also buy Lao Gan Ma here in the UK.
Even if it is clear soup noodles, adding more Lao Gan Ma will make it taste better.
After solving the problem of food, I can start working.
Of course, he didn't have too much work to complete, he just continued to improve the relevant theory about that new basic force.
This new fundamental force exists in many phenomena of the universe, including many unresolved problems in physics. Li Mu found that after introducing this new fundamental force, these unresolved physical problems have been perfectly explained theoretically.
"It's just that, regarding the source of this new basic power..."
This is the only question that remains to be resolved.
It's like gravity.
Relativity scholars show that the source of gravity is the curvature of space-time, while quantum mechanics scholars insist that the conduction of gravity must come from gravitons.
The former has been proven through various experiments, including but not limited to the famous gravitational lensing phenomenon, gravitational waves, black holes, etc.
But regarding the latter, so far it has not been possible to prove whether gravitons actually exist, but this is a very critical issue because it involves the microscopic transmission of gravity, just like other interacting forces. It is difficult to understand its microscopic How it is transmitted is the most critical issue.
It’s just about the source of this new basic power…
Li Mu could only feel the mystery.
…
Time passed quietly.
March 30th.
For the earth, this may be just a normal day, and it is not a special day at all.
But for the entire physics community, and perhaps half of the mathematics community, the average moving speed of various famous physicists and mathematicians today is much faster than usual - because they have all left universities or research institutes , took various means of transportation and headed to Geneva.
And their purpose is to participate in the world-famous report meeting the day after tomorrow.
Three months have passed since the release of Li Mu's paper, and the issue of predicting the mass of the W boson has been one of the core points of contention among physicists during these three months.
The Zcs (3985) neutral adjoint state particle he proposed in his paper has not attracted much attention even though it has been officially discovered by the Chinese Institute of High Energy Physics and published in Physical Review Letters.
After all, this neutral adjoint particle has been predicted by various models in the past and is a planned discovery.
But the problem with the mass of the W boson is unexpected.
So every physicist wants to know how Li Mu will explain this issue at the report meeting.
…
CERN, the full name of the European Center for Nuclear Research, is located on the border with France to the west of Geneva, Switzerland.
As the largest research institute in the world, the Large Hadron Collider here spans two countries: Switzerland and France.
Scientific research requires money, so it might be appropriate to call this place a huge gold sales cave.
Just to maintain the operation of the Large Hadron Collider, they have to spend hundreds of millions per year. Add in various expenses, and it can reach a level that is the envy of any other research institute.
Of course, for the physics community, especially the particle physics community, the Large Hadron Collider is a symbol of pride.
After all, their kind of purely theoretical research is probably the only one in the world with almost no investment in substantive output, and countries can always invest such huge resources in support.
Because what they study is the truth of this universe.
Of course, there are always various twists and turns on the way to find the truth.
Physics is a science that pays attention to slaps in the face. Just like the history of physics, it can also be called a history of slaps in the face.
In this period of history, the first thing that must be mentioned, and also the most famous slap in the face in the past century, is that "the physics building has been completed."
The theory of relativity that appeared a few years later and the increasingly mysterious quantum mechanics caused the newly completed physics building to be smashed to pieces before the foundation was even warmed.
To take a closer look, we have to mention Wolfgang Pauli, who is known as the whip of God in the world of physics.
This great god was once hailed as Einstein's successor - just as he once wrote to Bonn and said that on the day he won the Nobel Prize in Physics, Einstein's speech at the celebration banquet was like When an old king abdicates, he is chosen as his eldest son.
This person was slapped in the face. After Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao proposed parity non-conservation, he was strongly opposed because he firmly believed that the universe is symmetrical and God cannot be left-handed. He even expressed his willingness to Use all your family property to gamble.
As a result, it didn’t take long for Wu Jianxiong’s oath to prove the law of non-conservation of the universe.
Ever since, this has left a strong mark on the history of physics.
Of course, this kind of slap in the face is basically because the truth is always hard to believe.
And today, such a familiar plot appears again.
In CERN, a place dedicated to searching for truth, will a new truth be confirmed again?
"Why do you think Li Mu put the report on April 1st?"
At this time, many people were standing at the gate of the CERN Institute, probably welcoming someone's arrival.
The greeter hadn't arrived yet, so these people were chatting.
This question came from an old woman who was probably in her 60s.
The old woman's name is Fabiola Gianotti, she is the Director General of CERN and has won the Basic Physics Breakthrough Award.
In a circle where female scholars are scarce in the world of physics, she is already extremely outstanding for being able to do this.
And the person she asked was Peter Higgs.
The old man was very busy every day and didn't have much energy for mental work, so he followed over to greet Li Mu.
Hearing Fabiola's question, Higgs also touched his chin and began to think: "This is indeed a question. April 1st is technically April Fool's Day."
"The report was held on April Fool's Day. Is it possible that he wanted to make a shocking joke?"
Fabiola smiled: "Maybe?"
A shocking joke played on the entire physics community.
If that was the case, she would have to admire Li Mu's courage.
Later, she said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I saw a survey on the Internet. So far, a quarter of physicists still believe that Li Mu's theory is wrong, and George Parisi also said so. "
"George Parisi?"
Higgs nodded, "I'm not surprised that he would deny it."
George Parisi was announced as the winner of the Wolf Prize in Physics this year. He has made very significant achievements in quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, and complex systems. He is considered to be the most important scientist in recent decades. One of the most creative and influential theoretical physicists.
There are even rumors that he is the most promising scholar to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in recent years.
However, there are still many famous physicists who do not believe in the Lie expansion of the Standard Model, and there is no shortage of doubts from such great minds.
Higgs added: "But as you said, it's only one-quarter now, and there are still three-quarters left."
Fabiola: "There are still one-half of the people who have not expressed their stance, so now the supporters and opponents are evenly matched."
Higgs: "...Well, exactly what I thought the world of physics would be like."
Fabiola smiled: "Actually, I hope he can come up with something different, at least it will give us at CERN more topics to work on."
Higgs sighed: "It's better to find the most perfect theory as soon as possible before the world leaves me. I can't wait for many years."
Fabiola did not answer this question. Where has the physics community developed now?
There are still many problems they face alone.
The most perfect theory...
The 21st century probably cannot wait.
At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz drove towards us in the distance.
"He's here," Fabiola said.
At this time, people also looked over.
The man they greeted arrived.
The Mercedes-Benz stopped steadily in front of them, the back door opened, and a young figure walked out.
It was Li Mu.
Yes, these CERN executives, as well as the big guys, are all here to greet Li Mu.
It can be said that Li Mu in recent times has been the protagonist in their physics world.
Fabiola walked up with a smile on her face, stretched out her hand and said: "Dr. Li, hello, I am Fabiola Gianotti, Director General of CERN. On behalf of CERN, I welcome you."
Hearing this "Dr. Li", Li Mu was startled for a moment, then stretched out his hand, smiled and shook Fabiola's hand: "Hello, Director General, I am very grateful to CERN for specially preparing my report. and publicity, and provided a venue. Your attitude towards science is very respectable.”
Fabiola smiled and said: "This is our responsibility at CERN and it should be. What's more, we also want to thank Dr. Li for trusting us and being willing to hand over such an important report to CERN. I hope you can give a wonderful speech at the report meeting the day after tomorrow."
Li Mu smiled and nodded, but this "Dr. Li" still had to be corrected, so he pointed to Andrew Wiles who came out of the other car door and said: "This is my doctoral supervisor, Andrew Wiles."
PhD Tutor?
Fabiola was stunned for a moment, and then she realized, yes, the young man in front of her has not even graduated yet.
The "Dr. Li" just now was just what she shouted subconsciously. After all, everyone who can communicate with her on the same level has already graduated with a Ph.D.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it's really surprising how young you are."
People around him also realized the mistake in Fabiola’s title just now.
They could only express their understanding of this. After all, no one could really treat Li Mu as a student.
Li Mu was used to it, so he didn't say too much.
Soon, he entered CERN under the welcome of these people.
As for Andrew Wiles, who came with him, he did not come with him. The protagonist is Li Mu. He is just here to attend the meeting, so he should not join in the fun.
In this way, Li Mu, under the leadership of Fabiola and others, had a good look inside CERN, especially the Large Hadron Collider LHC.
Such a magnificent scientific device can be regarded as a unique romance among scientists.
In this way, after shopping around, it was finally time to separate.
Being able to entertain Li Mu like this shows that CERN attaches great importance to him.
However, when leaving, Peter Higgs pulled Li Mu and said to him: "Young physicist, I look forward to your performance the day after tomorrow, so that old guys like me can experience physics again. The beauty.”
"Even if it means overturning our physical world."
Higgs' words made Li Mu couldn't help but smile, and then whispered to Higgs: "Believe me, there is a reason why I put the report on April 1st."
"April Fool's Day?"
"Yes."
Li Mu smiled and nodded, then waved goodbye and was going back to the hotel.
Higgs waved to Li Mu, but was thoughtful in his heart.
Fabiola next to him asked: "What did he just say to you?"
Higgs grinned: "He said he wanted to overturn our physics world."
Others around him suddenly showed doubtful expressions.
…
Two days passed quietly.
April 1st has arrived.
A report meeting on the Li expansion of the Standard Model was officially held today.
Physicists from all over the world, as well as some mathematicians who are interested in Li's expansion, have come here and are waiting for the start of the meeting with anticipation.
CERN does not have internal conference rooms that support thousands of people. However, due to its unique status, Geneva has many large conference centers.
Such an important report was selected by CERN to be held at the Geneva International Conference Center.
However, when all the scholars arrived at the conference center, they were confused by the promotional posters outside.
Because the above shows that the theme of Li Mu’s report today is: [Proving the existence of the Creator].
Oh my God, what is this?
These scholars who came from afar were at a loss.
