"Hou Li Crab! What is this?!"
"Did you see it, Witten? He found something!"
"Dimensional force...dimensional force...do you think there really is a creator?"
On the other side of the first row of seats, Nathan Seberg's eyes widened, he tried to lower his voice as low as possible, and exclaimed to Edward Witten next to him.
Of course the two of them came over.
This lecture is indispensable for every theoretical physicist, not to mention Edward Witten, who is here to meet Li Mu.
However, Li Mu's derivation process just now, and the new basic power he finally derived, far exceeded their imagination of this report meeting.
In order to prove the correctness of the Li expansion of the standard model, Li Mu discovered a new fundamental force?
Before attending this report meeting, they would never have thought this way.
"This kind of force actually exists in every corner of our universe... and we have never noticed it before..."
Neiju Cyborg still did not stop being surprised: "Yes, precisely because this force exists everywhere, it means it does not exist everywhere. We naturally classify the effects it brings to other basic forces. effect."
Just like the numbers 7, 8, and 9, they can all be written as 1+6, 1+7, 1+8. This "1" is actually special, but among these numbers, this "1" is completely integrated Once inside, it cannot be distinguished, and in the past, academic circles have always had no mathematical method to separate them individually.
Now, Li Mu has used this inverse quantum statistics method to successfully extract it from these physical phenomena.
This mysterious basic force has revealed its prototype.
After marveling for a while, Nathan Seberg suddenly remembered that Witten seemed to have been silent. He couldn't help but ask: "Hey, wake up, what are you thinking about? You are so worried at such an important time." Why don't you say anything?"
However, Witten just shook his head and whispered: "Don't talk, I am thinking about something in my mind."
"What are you thinking about?" Nathan Seberg didn't notice Witten's mood and still asked with a smile: "Thinking about the existence of God?"
"To be honest, I am already thinking, does God really exist? Dimensional force...dimensional force, where is the source of this force? Is it possible that there are also dimensional particles?"
"Hou Li Crab, this name given by Li Mu is so appropriate."
"Where is the source of dimensional force..."
Hearing this question, Witten suddenly smiled for some reason, but the smile was a bit bitter.
Where else could it come from?
It definitely can’t be a string anyway.
Because in string theory, string is not a force, it is just a basic unit of the universe predicted by the theory, which constitutes various examples, and then the interaction force is formed between those particles.
However, it now seems that the role of the string has been replaced, or in other words, completely covered by this sole force.
The basic unit of the universe…
Witten already had a vague guess in his mind. What is hidden under the dimensional force is the true basic structure of the universe - this is the intuition of a top physicist.
As a top physicist, his intuition is often very accurate, sometimes even ridiculously accurate.
Pierre Deligne once expressed emotion about this. He used to not think very highly of the mathematical abilities of physicists. It was not until he met Edward Witten that he discovered that these physicists always It is possible to apply some strange mathematical methods to physics, but often get correct results.
Edward Witten, in particular, could always see through the intuitive appearance behind complex mathematical formulas and proofs, which he had to admire.
Therefore, Edward Witten now sees through Li Mu's complex mathematical formulas and proofs to the possible essence of dimensional force.
Of course, there was another reason that made him so sure.
Li Mu was able to compare the problems that Witten encountered with the problems that he encountered, and then discover the existence of dimensional force. Then Witten was naturally able to make inferences based on Li Mu's deduction just now and based on his own findings. .
"Perhaps my lifelong persistence ends now..."
"What did you say?" Nathan Seberg asked next to him.
Witten shook his head. Now, it is better not to tell Nathan Cyborg about this blow. Let him enjoy the fun of witnessing new physics first.
Sooner or later, all the string theorists in the world will know.
"I didn't say anything." His face was full of calm: "Do you think this dimensional force is like the basic force of the basic force?"
Nathan Cyborg was stunned.
"Fundamental force of fundamental force?"
…
"Dimensional force does not directly act on our world. It only exists in the basic forces. It acts on the basic forces, allowing them to become basic forces."
On the rostrum, Li Mu revealed the dimensional force, a discovery that shocked all the physicists present, and then continued his explanation.
"Just like the electromagnetic interaction force, electrons exchange photons to realize the conduction of electromagnetic force. So what motivates the electron to conduct the photon to another electron?"
"Another example is the gluons that transmit the strong interaction force, and the W and Z bosons that transmit the weak interaction force."
“The energy source that excites these particles to propagate the interaction force is the dimensional force.”
"Of course, this is also in line with our previous conjecture that the zero point energy of vacuum is the source of exciting virtual particles."
"Now, where can the vacuum zero point come from? I think it will be more appropriate to use dimensional force to explain it."
"Of course, I also believe that many friends have been able to deduce this."
"And it's simple."
Li Mu smiled slightly, turned around and began to deduce on the blackboard.
What is vacuum zero point energy?
The meaning is very simple, that is, in a vacuum, without all matter, it is absolutely empty, but there is still energy.
This idea comes from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: It is impossible to measure the momentum and position of a particle at the same time, so even if a particle is reduced to absolute zero, it will still keep vibrating.
The energy that keeps it vibrating is the vacuum zero-point energy.
This theory, which sounds very fantasy and incredible, does indeed exist and has been verified by experiments such as Lamb shift and Casimir effect.
However, there has never been a harmonious explanation in the physics community regarding the origin of this zero-point energy. Until now, the dimensional force discovered by Li Mu has perfectly revealed it.
"...Dimensional force is just like this, affecting our material world in the smallest way!"
"The quality problem including the W boson can be best explained through dimensional forces."
"And... it's very obvious."
When he said this, Li Mu looked at the audience with a smile.
After a long reaction time, the audience suddenly burst into warm applause.
In particular, those physicists who have always supported the Lie expansion of the Standard Model are even more excited at this time.
Because the mass problem of the W boson has been perfectly explained theoretically in the hands of Li Mu!
The W boson is the key reason for this report.
Now, this problem has been successfully explained.
Therefore, in the eyes of those supporters, the weapons that the opponents relied on most before have been completely removed. In the face of this ironclad fact, what reason do they have to oppose.
Of course, even the previous opponents on the court had to give Li Mu applause, because the dimensional force proposed by Li Mu, this brand-new basic force, was so perfect that they could not find any way to do it. Point of rebuttal.
After all, the vacuum zero-point energy explained by dimensional force alone can be regarded as a major experimental evidence of dimensional force.
Not to mention that Li Mu successfully explained the problem of virtual particles.
At this point, two of the four questions raised by Li Mu before the report began have been perfectly explained in his hands.
These two problems are both problems that have been discussed over and over again by physicists all over the world, but they have never been able to do anything about it.
And their solution is enough to prove the existence of dimensional force.
There is no need to even use experiments to verify it, because those experiments in the past have already proved it enough.
Li Mu stood on the podium, calmly waiting for the applause to stop.
It wasn't until the applause almost stopped that he lowered his hand, and the entire conference room quickly returned to silence.
Then, Li Mu said: "Of course, we must not forget that of the four questions I raised at the beginning, two of them have not been resolved."
"Why does a vacuum catastrophe occur? Where do dark energy and dark matter come from?"
"For these two most difficult questions, please let me first introduce you to dimensional force, the real meaning behind this name."
What is the true meaning of dimensional force?
The physicists in the audience were stunned again.
The meaning of dimensional force... doesn't it mean the force covering the entire dimension?
Besides this meaning, what other meaning can there be?
But suddenly, those physicists with a more sensitive sense of smell have realized that Li Mu is about to reveal something.
Li Mu didn't say much, just turned around and started writing on the blackboard again.
First, he introduced a new formula into the original formula.
Then, the physicists in the audience were shocked again. What Li Mu introduced was an extra dimension!
"Introducing an extra dimension here, we will surprisingly find that the dimensional force is still extremely harmonious."
"After that, we continued to add additional dimensions. It was not until the 11th dimension that we found that our formula finally became discordant."
"Why? Then please let us integrate the previous eleven dimensions -"
Li Mu began to deduce the integration in his hands, while the physicists in the audience all held their breath, waiting for the results.
What happens after integration?
When Li Mu integrated all eleven dimensions, everyone was surprised to find that under the unification of the eleven dimensions, the entire model became perfect and harmonious.
So, that's why there are only eleven dimensions!
And this is also consistent with M-theory's prediction of the number of extra dimensions.
"...After explaining the eleven-dimensional problem, now we can easily explain the cause of the vacuum disaster."
"That's because the zero-point energy of vacuum we calculated, that is, the energy of 10^87 joules in 1 cubic centimeter, is dispersed in all dimensions."
"The dimension we are in has a lower dimension, so the vacuum zero-point energy allocated to it becomes very small, only 10^-18 Joules!"
"This is the vacuum catastrophe!"
The whole place was in an uproar again.
Vacuum catastrophe is also an unsolved physical problem related to vacuum zero-point energy.
If we talk about its status, it is comparable to any of the seven Millennium Problems in mathematical conjecture.
To put it simply, the zero point energy of vacuum calculated by physicists is as high as 10^87 Joules, but the zero point energy of vacuum measured experimentally is only 10^-18 Joules.
Such a huge gap also makes the prediction of the zero-point energy density of vacuum known as the worst prediction in the history of physics.
And now, a dimensional force explains it perfectly!
While people were amazed, someone finally couldn't help but ask: "Li! According to what you said, does it mean that there really are extra dimensions in our universe?"
Extra dimensions have been hotly discussed in the physics community, but in any case, they cannot be verified.
But looking at it now, according to Li Mu's dimensional force theory, doesn't it already prove the existence of extra dimensions?
Regarding this question, Li Mu fell into thinking for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said: "If there are no problems with my calculations, then I believe in the existence of extra dimensions."
The physicists present suddenly felt trembling again.
Extra dimensions exist!
Their dimension is not alone!
There really is a multi-dimensional space in the universe!
The physicist who asked the question said even more excitedly: "In that case, is string theory correct?"
Everyone was startled again. The introductory method to prove string theory included verifying the existence of extra dimensions.
Now that the existence of extra dimensions is confirmed, doesn’t it mean that string theory is correct?
However, Li Mu fell silent on this issue.
Without rushing to answer, he turned his head and looked at Edward Witten over there.
Witten's expression, as expected, showed no excitement at all, even though Nathan Seberg next to him was about to stand up and celebrate.
Li Mu sighed softly. This cruel truth should be revealed by string theory scholars themselves.
So he just smiled and said, "Maybe?"
Then he said no more and spoke again: "Now that we are here, I won't explain too much about the source of dark energy and dark matter, because the answer is also obvious, so I will hand over the answer to this question. It’s up to everyone to solve it.”
"But at the end, I still have to leave one question - what is the source of dimensional force?"
The last question he raised made the whole audience think deeply, and they could not help but think of the theme of this report - proving the existence of the Creator.
What is it that can bring something like dimensional force into this universe?
But at this moment, Li Mu took out his mobile phone and looked at the time - it turned out that he didn't have a watch.
Then, he sighed: "Unconsciously, it has already reached 12 o'clock."
Only then did people suddenly remember that this report had been going on for two hours.
They were so immersed in it that they all forgot the passage of time.
Because this is a report that has overturned the physics community.
But the upheaval in the physics world is like a feast for physicists.
Because, only when the physics building collapses, they will not need to do the work of repairing, but will become one of the designers of the new physics building!
Just like Planck, Fermi, Pauli, Chen-ning Yang...the same physicists.
At this time, Li Mu smiled again: "According to the tradition of April Fool's Day, after twelve o'clock noon, you can no longer joke."
He coughed twice, put the phone back, and then said in a serious tone: "So, what I want to prove is that there is no creator in the world. No matter how magical it is, based on certain rules and details, There seems to be a sense of serendipity, everything is as exquisite as design.”
"But this is the greatness of the laws of nature."
"I wish our physics could always follow the guidance of natural laws and gradually gain insight into them!"
"My report is complete, thank you all!"
A neat ending.
Thunderous applause followed.
