Several reporters present looked at Wilbur strangely.
Just now, this person who claimed that he might win the Nobel Prize in Physics looked triumphant, saying that his theory used the theory of dimensional forces, and that other scholars might not be able to fully understand it for a while. Understand his derivation process - although his entire paper is only a dozen pages.
As a result, just after finishing his beautiful words, the founder of the dimensional force theory claimed that his use of dimensional force was wrong... This was really embarrassing.
Wilbur couldn't believe it and recalled that Li Mu he had just met a week ago, and he was still in the laboratory behind him.
this……
No matter what, he is of course very convinced by Li Mu's name. Otherwise, he would not have invited Li Mu to join his team twice, just because he wanted to gain the recognition of his theory from Li Mu, the founder of dimensional force theory. .
As a result, now, the founder of dimensional force theory has actually taken the lead in denying his theory.
After a while, Wilbur came back to his senses, and then asked hurriedly: "Where did you see it? Why didn't I know this news? Where did George Parisi say it?"
The reporter replied: "It's on the Internet... But strictly speaking, it wasn't Professor George Parisi who said it. It was Professor Hamberg who was at the same school as Professor Parisi and asked Professor Parisi. Then Professor Parisi posted the ins chat record between him and Professor Li Mu, and Professor Hamberg posted the chat record to other group chats, and then it spread like this."
Wilbur was stunned immediately, this...
His expression began to change drastically.
Of course, for those reporters, this was the best news. The cameras in their hands were about to hit Wilbur's face to take pictures.
At the same time, several reporters stimulated him with one sentence each, asking: "So Professor Wilbur, what do you think of this matter? Do you think what Professor Li said is correct?"
"After all, this is about the Nobel Prize in Physics."
"Yes, yes, the Nobel Prize in Physics."
The words of these reporters made Wilbur even more hesitant.
But questioning Li Mu... he actually didn't dare.
After all, Li Mu was the authority to him, and not everyone dared to question authority.
And the most important thing is that in academia, it is also a very normal thing to point out problems with the other party's theory. If he gets angry and anxious because Li Mu said that he made mistakes, what he will eventually face will be academic criticism. His contempt.
After all, he was breaking the rules.
However, Wilbur quickly came to his senses.
No, if Li Mu says there is a problem with his proof, then he should point out where his mistake is, instead of just saying there is a mistake in his proof but not saying what is wrong?
In this case, doesn't it mean that Li Mu is not following the rules?
However, his mind made another U-turn, and he suddenly began to think, eh, it seems that this news did not come from Li Mu himself, but from someone else's mouth, which seems not certain.
Until the end, he couldn't understand what was going on here.
At this time, several reporters called him again: "Mr. Wilbur?"
Wilbur thought for a long time, until finally, his eyes widened and he said, "Oh! I remembered it."
He paced in place for a long time and finally said: "I remembered that a week ago, I invited Li Mu to join my team. Director Evans of our laboratory management department can testify to this."
"But later, Professor Li Mu did not agree to join because he was also researching topics related to superconductivity."
"so……"
After he said this, he stopped talking and just looked at a few reporters.
Several reporters were also aware of the news that might be hidden in this matter.
"You mean, Professor Li Mu, maybe he questioned you because he failed to join your team before?"
"I didn't say that." Wilbur waved his hands repeatedly: "I just stated the fact that this happened. I will say what happened. Isn't this normal?"
"Of course, that's normal."
"Yes, Indeed."
The reporters laughed, of course it was normal.
But no matter what, the whole process of this matter is another good focus for them to create hot news.
"Then thank you Professor Wilbur for your patient answer."
Without any more nonsense, several reporters quickly left here, obviously going back to work on the manuscript.
Wilbur, who stayed where he was, was constantly having various thoughts in his mind.
Did Li Mu really discover the problems in his proof?
Or is it really, as the reporters just speculated, because Li Mu didn't agree when he invited him before? What thoughts do you have about the results he has made now?
Regarding this matter, it is actually very easy to solve. Now he can directly contact Li Mu or even come to him directly to get the answer. But now Wilbur is not embarrassed to go to Li Mu at all. Of course, since then From another perspective, he doesn't want to get a negative solution now.
Just like the escape mentality that most people have, Wilbur also had this kind of escape mentality at this time.
…
In this way, as time goes by, news about the principle of room temperature superconductivity becomes more and more popular.
Of course, the academic community has been dubious about this thing from the beginning. Although it is very popular, there is not a single expert who immediately recognizes it.
No matter what, if it is related to room temperature superconducting, even if it seems to be something, it is always easy to make people question it, just like the previous LKD-99 room temperature superconductor, although it has attracted a lot of attention among the media and the general public. discussion, but for real professionals, they will wait for the final verification results to come out before making an evaluation.
But now, as soon as Li Mu's negative comments came out, the academic community's enthusiasm for this matter was like a bucket of cold water poured on it.
Although Li Mu's evaluation was not announced publicly but was spread privately, as a top academic figure, the power of a simple sentence is still unimaginable.
However, at this time, news reports from several well-known British media caught the attention of people in the academic world.
"Li Mu...was invited by Wilbur before, could he have joined his team?"
After these news spread, they immediately attracted a lot of discussion. Of course, the most important thing is that the hints in the press releases were too obvious, making some malicious speculations. For people in the academic world, this kind of hints The thing is so stupid.
Li Mu himself is a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics. Based on the importance of his results, he may win the prize this year, not to mention the Fields Medal, an honor he has already received.
So, he would do this kind of thing because of a Nobel Prize achievement?
Individuals in academia despised such news.
However, although the academic community does not believe much in this news that is obviously creating controversy, when it is put among ordinary people, it is completely different. What news do ordinary people like the most?
Conspiracy theories obviously fit in the first column.
Ever since, this matter spread like this, making people who like to pay attention to academic news but are not academics start to think about it.
…
"I'm really sorry, Professor Li. I didn't expect that guy Hanberg to actually share the message in the group chat, and it spread out. It's my problem."
After learning that Hamburg had spread the news he told him, George Parisi realized something was wrong. Sure enough, this happened.
Although it was not his problem, George Parisi quickly called Li Mu and apologized to him.
However, Li Mu on the other side of the phone was a little confused after hearing George Parisi's apology.
"Huh? What happened?"
George Parisi was stunned, "You don't know yet?"
Li Mu said: "I'm not sure. I've been staying in my house doing research these days."
"That's it." George Parisi smiled bitterly, and then informed Li Mu of what happened in the past few days.
Li Mu suddenly frowned: "Is there such a thing?"
George Parisi also defended Li Mu: "Yes, those media are so incapable of controlling their mouths that they can actually fabricate such a thing."
"How can you see the results of a superconducting principle? How could you do such a thing?"
"And there is Wilbur from your school. He can't control his mouth. He talks about such things without explaining. I think he did it on purpose."
"besides……"
Although George Parisi did not agree with Li Mu because he did not agree with the dimensional force theory, as the dimensional force became more and more correct, he now gradually regards Li Mu as the person he admires most. physicist.
So he felt very angry about Li Mu being smeared.
Li Mu, who was a little unhappy at first, couldn't help laughing in the end when he heard George Parisi scolding those media outlets and Wilbur for being worthless.
"Okay, okay, George, there's no need for such anger."
"For false things, we must use the truth to expose them."
"dont you agree?"
Parisi was stunned and realized the meaning of Li Mu's words: "You mean, you already know what the problem is in his paper?"
Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that his use of dimensional force was wrong? Naturally, it was because I had already seen it at that time."
"I see." Parisi thought for a while and then asked, "Then why haven't you disclosed his mistakes yet?"
"This is also a rule in the academic world. Just like Wiles, Katz discovered that he had major flaws in the construction of the Euler system."
Pointing out errors is quite normal in academia. After all, they cannot just watch a wrong theory become a recognized truth.
Li Mu smiled again: "Parisi, don't forget, didn't the news also say that I was studying the principle of superconductivity before?"
"After my superconductivity principle is announced, the academic community will naturally discover the problems in Wilbur's paper."
"To put it simply, he ignored a condition that is indispensable for dimensional force."
"What is the indispensable condition for dimensional force?"
Li Mu's words made Parisi somewhat confused.
One thing is that although he did not believe in the existence of dimensional force before the dimensional force theory was proven, now he is more or less an expert in dimensional force.
After all, as the world's top physicist, you can specialize in one direction, but if you don't understand the theories in all cutting-edge directions, then the final result will obviously be to fall behind.
It's just that his dimensional power expert is only relatively speaking, and cannot really be regarded as a top expert.
Of course, there are probably not many top dimensional force experts in the entire physics world, and there may even be only one, the person on the other end of the phone.
As a new science, it is no less difficult than relativity and quantum mechanics. For most researchers, they are probably still in the pioneering stage.
Only Li Mu is far ahead.
Regarding Parisi's doubts, no, no, no, Li Mu did not explain much on this issue, and finally said: "Okay, it's time for me to continue my research. Probably, you will be able to see me on arxiv in a while. It’s time for my thesis, bye.”
The phone was hung up.
Hearing the busy signal from the other end of the phone, George Parisi, who was in his office, put down the phone in his hand.
Beside him, there was another professor from the University of Rome, who hurriedly asked: "What did Professor Li say?"
This person is Hamberg, the colleague of Parisi who sent what Li Mu said to the group chat because of his big heart.
Parisi shook his head: "He didn't say anything, so you don't have to worry."
"That's good, that's good." Hanberg wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Li Mu.
And then, he asked: "But, what did you say to him afterwards? What are the indispensable conditions for dimensional power?"
"Well..." George Parisi glanced at this guy and chose not to reveal it to him: "You will know after a while. Now, I don't believe you can keep your mouth shut."
"Oh... don't do this," Hamburg wailed.
…
Time has gradually passed. During this period of time, the academic discussion on Wilber's principle of room temperature superconductivity has not decreased much.
Of course, this kind of enthusiasm is mainly focused on why Li Mu thinks his is wrong?
Did Li Mu really discover the problem, or was it just like the conspiracy theory in public opinion?
For now, basically not many people know.
Until about a week later.
In Li Mu's house.
The sunshine outside the study was bright, and inside the study, Li Mu's mouth was also very bright.
"nailed it."
"It's much faster than expected."
He looked at the time and saw that it was at least three or four days too fast.
And what he accomplished was the explanation of the theory of superconductivity.
"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the mission [Superconducting! Superconducting!]."
