The report meeting is officially over.
What followed was a climax for the entire physics community.
As mentioned before, if the world of physics is overturned, what will happen will only be the excitement of physicists.
Just like before planting, the land needs to be plowed first so that the land can breed new seedlings.
This is especially true for the physics community.
In the last century, after the study of quantum mechanics began to rise, various famous physicists sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, eventually forming the famous photo, as shown in the "Photograph of the Solvay Conference", The big guys gathered.
As for the theory of relativity, it was established entirely by Einstein alone, which is why Einstein is said to be the only one among physicists.
Now, the new fundamental force provides a vast research space for all physicists, because no one knows what new things they can deduce based on dimensional forces.
And the most important thing is that according to the characteristics of dimensional force, it cannot be completely classified into the category of quantum mechanics. It should be said that quantum mechanics can be completely embedded in the theory of dimensional force. Once the two are combined, they will become a more perfect new architecture.
In addition, the theory of relativity can also be combined with dimensional forces. There is a fundamental reason here. The unification of relativity and quantum mechanics is impossible to achieve in three-dimensional space. It can only be unified in high-dimensional space.
The multi-dimensional space revealed by dimensional force has already shown that it can achieve good integration with the theory of relativity.
However, in order to achieve the true integration of the two, certain research is still required. After all, gravitons are still a mystery.
But as long as this can be achieved, quantum mechanics and relativity will be truly unified, and the theory of everything in physics will be established.
So next, physicists must strive in this direction.
Of course, physicists were excited, and so were the news media.
New breakthroughs in physics attract more attention than new breakthroughs in other scientific fields. After all, when people hear the theory of relativity, they feel awesome, and when they hear quantum mechanics, they feel mysterious, not to mention the Various nouns come from.
What multi-dimensional space, what kind of grand unified theory, theory of everything...
It seemed as if their universe was being turned upside down.
All of a sudden, all kinds of eye-catching news headlines appeared, and there was no need to worry about being called a headline maker.
"The fifth fundamental force in the universe - dimensional force!" 》
"The Four Basic Forces?" No! And a fifth one! 》
"Fundamental Forces of Fundamental Forces—The Basic Structure of the Universe"
"Multidimensional space really exists!" 》
"Shock! Li Mu is actually Einstein’s…”
…
In addition to various news articles, well-known physicists also accepted interviews with reporters after the report.
As a Nobel Prize winner in physics, David Gross was naturally invited.
"...The proposal of dimensional force will officially add an important part to our physics and make our entire physics framework more complete. This is very important to us..."
"The purpose of physical physics is to reveal the complete framework of our universe, whether it is the four basic forces we discovered in the past or the current dimensional forces. A complete framework is the most important..."
"In the future, as our physicists study dimensional forces more and more deeply, our understanding of the universe will become more and more complete."
Facing the BCC reporter's interview, David Gross seemed very positive about the interview questions. The smile on his face seemed to never stop. The reporter could see a new life in his eighty-year-old eyes. So bright.
After hearing what Gross said, the reporter asked curiously: "In this case, will the study of dimensional forces become a new hot spot in the world of physics?"
Gross laughed, then reached into his pants pocket and finally took out a 10-euro note and said: "I can make a bet with you. For a long time in the future, about The study of dimensional forces will occupy the mainstream of the physics community, and papers on dimensional forces will fill the pages of top journals such as Science, Nature and Physical Review Letters."
"That's something that's definitely going to happen."
The reporter suddenly laughed: "Of course I believe this, I don't want to give away 10 euros in vain."
Gross shook his head with a smile and put the euro banknotes back, "That's it! Maybe after a while, you will wake up and find something new in the world of physics - in short, on the basis of dimensional force , it’s not surprising that we found anything more.”
"Multidimensional space?"
"Maybe? Of course, for now, multi-dimensional space is a certainty. Otherwise, we would not be able to explain the cause of the vacuum catastrophe."
"This is so amazing!"
The reporter looked amazed.
Physics is like this. As long as the results are shocking enough, even laymen can feel very interested.
Next, the reporter asked a series of various questions, ensuring that each question would attract a lot of traffic.
till the end.
"Thank you Professor Gross for your patient answer. Now, I want to talk to you about Li Mu again."
The reporter said: "We all know that it was Li Mu who completed the theoretical framework of dimensional forces. It can be said that he alone brought our physics world into a new century. So I would like to ask you what you think of his current achievements. view?"
"What do you think of Li Mu?"
David Gross fell into deep thought for a moment, and then asked: "Do you know about the Miracle Year?"
The reporter was stunned: "The Miracle Year?"
"——Oh, of course I know this. You should be talking about the two years when Newton and Einstein discovered gravity and the theory of relativity respectively."
"Yes."
David Gross nodded, "But what you said is actually not complete."
"The term "The Year of Miracles" comes from the English poet John Dryden, who celebrated the year 1666 in a poem subtitled "The Year of Miracles."
"And it was in 1666 that Isaac Newton miraculously completed the light decomposition experiment, invented calculus, and worked on universal gravitation, laying a solid foundation for the three major disciplines of optics, mathematics, and mechanics respectively. "
"This is a miracle for the entire history of science."
"So 1666 is also called such a miracle year by us. It's just a pity that John Dryden did not mention Newton's achievements in his poems. Probably at that time, he was completely unaware of Newton's achievements. What a great achievement.”
"The second miracle year occurred in 1905. Einstein published several papers, revealing the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, determination of molecular size, mass-energy equation, and the most important paper " On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", the special theory of relativity."
“These two miracle years have brought about nascent changes to our physics community.”
"And this year..."
Gross smiled and then told reporters: "Maybe by this point, you can understand what I want to say. Yes, I want to call this year the third miracle year."
"Whether it is the Li expansion of the standard model at the beginning of this year or the current dimensional force, they can appear in the same year. I think it is not an exaggeration to call such a year a miracle year."
"And Li Mu is the creator of this miracle year."
Hearing that Gross actually gave such a high evaluation, the reporter showed a surprised expression on his face: "Are you... sure? But both Newton and Einstein have made more achievements!"
Grosdown even laughed: "You seem to have overlooked one thing, that is, how old were Newton and Einstein when they were in the Miracle Year."
"At that time, Newton was 23 years old and Einstein was 26 years old. Of course, when Einstein proposed the general theory of relativity, he was already 33 years old."
"And how old is Li Mu this year?"
The reporter was stunned, yes, how old is Li Mu this year?
He realized that he had overlooked this important issue.
"21 years old." Gross gave the answer. "Do you think this is very consistent with the age of the founder of the Year of Miracles?"
"Of course." Gross added: "The criterion for defining a miracle year is not the number of results, but how important the results are."
"Lee's expansion has completely replaced the perturbation expansion we have used for so many years, and the dimensional force theory has revealed to us a more real side of the universe, which even relativity and quantum mechanics cannot do, such as Talk about the proof of multidimensional space.”
"Before this, we could only speculate on the existence of multi-dimensional space, but we have never been able to be as sure as we are now. Now, dimensional forces have explained this."
"Just like its name, because it exists in every dimension, it is called dimensional force."
"The most critical thing is the emergence of dimensional force, which also laid a very important foundation for us to unify the theory of relativity and quantum science and realize the true theory of everything."
"Ordinary people who don't study physics may not realize how important this is, but I know it very well."
Gross sighed and looked at the clouds on the horizon: "This... is a miracle!"
…
As Gross's interview ended, the theory of the third miracle year also spread, and for a while, it set off another wave in the physics world.
The Year of Miracles has a very special significance for physics, and now, it has been taken out again and placed on a twenty-one-year-old young man.
However, it didn't take long for many other physicists in the physics community to agree with this statement.
Especially those scholars who have been supporting Li's development also believe that this year is the year of miracles.
Dimensional force deserves such praise.
Of course, there will still be naysayers.
Although most of the physicists who previously opposed Li's development have changed their minds to a certain extent after this report, after all, as George Parisi said, the mass of the W boson, Until it is solved, the dimensional force theory based on Li's expansion will always have fatal flaws.
George Parisi said in an interview: "A year of miracles? Maybe time will determine whether this year is a miracle year."
"But definitely not now."
"I admit that the use of mathematics in the dimensional force theory is very clever and there are no loopholes at all, but friends, we must never forget that physics is an experimental science and we must pay attention to rigorous experimental results."
"Even after Einstein proposed the theory of relativity in 1905, the physics community did not immediately agree with it. It was not until the total solar eclipse experiment in 1919 that it was verified."
"As for the mass of the W boson, many of our particle physics institutes around the world have calculated it, and they are basically in line with the predictions of the perturbation expansion standard model."
"So, if you want me to accept the dimensional force theory, the premise is that the mass problem of the W boson is solved."
"But I think that solving this problem has been a no-brainer in the past two years, because calculating the mass of the W boson requires a huge amount of work, and restarting the calculation of the mass of the W boson requires a lot of effort."
"Otherwise, I will eat the Large Hadron Collider directly."
George Parisi's statement once again sparked a new dispute in the physics community.
Physicists who are also opposed to it said that they are also willing to join George Parisi's bet and let everyone eat the LHC together!
However, not long after George Parisi’s statement——
The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory of the United States officially announced that after several years of work, they finally determined that the W boson is 0.1% heavier, just as Li Mu predicted!
The paper will be published in Science on April 7th!
Suddenly, the world of physics was shocked again!
…
[This thing is true. The W boson was indeed confirmed to be overweight, and it was indeed published in "Science" on April 7, 2021. The paper website
