"Are you doing it for science?"
"Me for money?"
"Isn't the purpose of developing a career just to make more money?"
When he saw the email from Paul Phil Jones, Ledley Parsons felt like he was about to explode.
he is very angry!
At the same time, I was very unconvinced!
Although it is true that he studies annihilation theory in order to get more funds, it is by no means a pure "fund fraud". After all, he is also a full professor at Florida State University.
Full professors, that is, tenured professors, naturally have a certain level of ability.
After determining the direction of the new field, he also hopes to achieve results, unlike string theory, which has been researched for several years without any results.
He just pursues more results, and pursuing research results is naturally also pursuing science.
Why did it become just for money?
"I am also doing it for my career!"
"Science career!"
Ledley Parsons couldn't help but grit his teeth when he read the content of the email. He simply stopped replying to the email and continued to read the information in his hand angrily.
That was the printed paper "Analysis of Decay and Undiscovered Particles".
Ledley-Parsons had been looking carefully at the mathematics.
He is indeed very capable.
It’s hard to say what the research level is, but there is no problem with basic abilities.
After carefully studying the content, he realized that the theoretical basis of the new results was that 'annihilation force has a higher dimension than the other three microscopic forces', and at the same time, he also expanded his thinking based on this.
The dimension is high and there are two directions in academic understanding.
One direction is a very direct causal relationship. A simple understanding is that the existence of the annihilation force will stimulate the production of the other three microscopic forces.
The more substitutions in the middle, the higher the dimensions will naturally be.
For example, if A causes B and B causes C, then A is two dimensions higher than C and one dimension higher than B.
Another understanding is purely dimensional properties, such as three-dimensional space and two-dimensional plane.
When three-dimensional matter acts on two-dimensional space, the impact is naturally very large. To give a very simple example, if a flat piece of paper is soaked by a drop of water, the water droplets will spread when they hit the paper. The thinner the paper, the greater the spread. The larger the area.
If the paper is infinitely close to a two-dimensional plane, theoretically, the entire plane will be soaked by water.
The above scene seen from a three-dimensional perspective.
From the perspective of two-dimensional paper, it will be like a sudden explosion at a certain point, and the scope of influence will become larger and larger.
This is the effect of three dimensions on two dimensions.
What if it were the impact of four dimensions on three dimensions? The scenario may be similar, with a sudden outbreak at a certain point, spreading from fast to slow, and the impact becomes larger and larger.
Thinking within the scope of theoretical physics, it is easy to come up with a theory--
The Big Bang!
The understanding of 'higher dimensions' in the above two academic fields sounds completely different, but the mathematical expressions are exactly the same.
Ledley-Parsons subconsciously judged that it was the latter. He had been engaged in string theory research for a long time, and subconsciously thought from the mathematical perspective of string theory. Naturally, he was able to think of the Big Bang theory, because there is a mathematical analysis of the Big Bang. The mathematical content of string theory is also used.
The annihilation force has a higher dimension than the other three microscopic forces, which means that the annihilation force may be one of the causes of the Big Bang.
Thinking from this perspective, there are really too many directions that can be expanded.
"Maybe we can combine the high-dimensional nature of the annihilation force and use the mathematics of string theory as a basis to re-analyze the big bang mathematically..."
"With this, we can expand the annihilation theory based on string theory."
"At the same time, part of the content can be directly shaped by Paul's high-dimensional model...
"
Ridley Parsons's eyes shone brightly as he thought about it, and he slapped the table hard, "I——"
"What a genius!"
······
Saikai University.
Wang Hao is sitting in his office, carefully looking at the obscure paper materials in his hand. He is preparing to fill in the content of quantum physics and theoretical physics.
In the process of researching with Paul Phil Jones, he discovered that he did have a lot of shortcomings in theoretical physics and quantum physics.
This lack is not in the basics, but that he has not engaged in professional and in-depth research.
Even the annihilation theory is "innovative" in many places. Because of this, the mathematical basis of the annihilation theory is out of the system in many places. It does sound good to form its own school, but past research cannot be all wrong. , and even said that most of them are correct. The theory needs to be further studied and will naturally be gradually combined.
It doesn’t matter if there is a lack of content in other fields. After all, one cannot be proficient in all knowledge, but whether it is the analysis of the Young-Mills equation or the study of annihilation theory, it is inseparable from quantum physics and theoretical physics.
When he really devoted himself to studying, he found that he slowly read various papers and materials, and the learning speed was really too slow.
So he decided to open a public class.
In this regard, Wang Hao also discussed with Paul Phil-Jones and learned some in-depth basic content of quantum physics and theoretical physics.
What he said is, "I hope to popularize knowledge related to theoretical physics to graduate students."
"Teaching is also very important."
"We not only need to do research ourselves, but also train the next generation..."
Paul Phil-Jones was very confused when he heard this, because he felt that he and Wang Hao were the "next generation" and they were not much older than graduate students and doctoral students.
Now Wang Hao is only twenty-seven years old, not even as old as some doctoral students.
He is only thirty-one years old.
Paul Phil-Jones also understands the importance of teaching. When he was at Caltech, he also taught several undergraduate classes and also offered a graduate course, but the memories were far from happy.
The IQs of those undergraduate and graduate students were too low to keep up with the progress of the course, which led to many students simply giving up.
Now I hear that classes are about to start...
"You said, open class? There will be many people coming to attend the class, right?"
"Besides, do you want to talk about some difficult knowledge?"
Paul Field-Jones confirmed.
"right."
Wang Hao nodded.
Paul Phil-Jones suddenly said,
"Should I join too? Let's go together!"
"Why?"
Wang Hao tugged at the corner of his mouth. Is there anyone who wants to open a public class?
"I like to teach some difficult knowledge, and I have never had so many students." Paul Phil-Jones said sincerely, "I have never lectured to more than a hundred students. I am looking forward to it."
"——?"
Wang Hao suddenly had a very bad premonition. He asked, "Didn't you start a class? "Quantum Chaos"?"
Paul Phil-Jones said depressedly, "Only a few students will come for the elective course, and a few of them are still your students."
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment with his half-open mouth, hesitating for a long time, and then nodded in agreement.
After a brief discussion with Paul Phil-Jones, he decided to focus on theoretical physics and then add some quantum physics content.
This course is not a single class, but eight consecutive classes, which will be held on Saturday mornings and afternoons for graduate and doctoral students majoring in mathematics and physics.
After a brief discussion with Paul Phil-Jones, he returned to the office and asked his students what he thought was wrong.
Chen Mengmeng, Helen He
Xu Chao is here.
"You all take Paul's classes, right? How was his class?"
Wang Hao asked directly.
Helen nodded seriously, "That's very good! I think he is excellent."
Chen Mengmeng nodded awkwardly.
Xu Chao grinned.
Wang Hao asked doubtfully, "Then why are there only a few students attending the class?"
Helen thought about it carefully and said, "Maybe they think Paul is very young?" She then explained, "The other teachers are older.
At this time, Chen Mengmeng added weakly, "Maybe there is another possibility? That they can't keep up with the progress?" She said while looking at Xu Chao.
Xu Chao coughed quickly, walked over and pulled Wang Hao aside and whispered, "Teacher Wang, please don't listen to Helen, Teacher Jones lectures too fast!"
"Too fast?"
"Yes, it was too fast to keep up. I listened carefully from beginning to end, but the speed was too fast. It seemed like he wanted to talk the whole book in one class, and, how should I put it..." He thought for a moment before continuing, "He speaks very quickly. Whenever he encounters a difficult question, he writes the answer directly without explaining it. He even adds, 'No need for this.'" said'······"
"I haven't understood it since the second class!"
"There are only a few students following the class now. Anyway, I didn't go there again after the last time."
Only then did Wang Hao understand.
Speaking too fast?
No wonder!
There are differences between people.
The reason why Helen thinks Paul Phil Jones speaks well is because she can understand and follow. Chen Mengmeng has been studying quantum physics with Helen for a long time. Her IQ and learning ability are not bad, and she is usually very good. Working hard is naturally not a big problem.
Xu Chao······
This guy definitely can’t do it!
If the explanation speed is too fast and the difficult points are passed over, it will naturally be difficult for several students to keep up.
Wang Hao was just wondering why Paul Phil-Jones said that he had never lectured to hundreds of people, but he was a full professor at California Institute of Technology. It sounded very strange.
All doubts are now cleared.
"Isn't this guy always judging students by his own thinking and learning ability?"
"What's difficult, just take it over directly?"
"No wonder!"
Wang Hao regretted cooperating with Paul Phil-Jones to open open classes.
On the other side, Paul Phil-Jones felt very much looking forward to it. He had never given lectures to more than a hundred students, so it was a novel feeling to think about it.
Therefore, he was more active than Wang Hao. After confirming the course, he even went to Luan Haiping to "rush the class". As a result, the School of Science immediately launched a publicity campaign.
On Saturday of that week, the course officially started.
Publicity was carried out within the School of Science, and almost all graduate and doctoral students knew about it.
Wang Hao's courses are naturally very attractive.
Paul Field-Jones is also very attractive. His "teaching reputation" in the school is not great, because he has just started teaching and has only offered an elective course. Few students know him, but his "scientific research" He is very famous. After all, he is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. The university also promoted him personally, saying that he was a top expert in string theory.
In addition, his research with Wang Hao has been known to many people for a long time.
Before the morning class started, there were already many people in the classroom, not only graduate students and doctoral students, but also many school teachers, including more than a dozen mathematics and physics professors.
Both Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones are indeed qualified to teach ordinary professors.
Before the course started, there was a lot of chatter in the large classroom, "Paul Field-Jones is one of the top ten figures in the field of string theory."
"His research with Professor Wang Hao has reached the top of the physics category.
grade academic journal, and also predicted new particles through analytical calculations.
"The last time I saw it, a research team at the particle collider has confirmed the new particles, but the confidence level has not yet reached five standard deviations."
"Teacher Jones is giving a lecture this morning. Listen to it, I guess what he teaches is not bad."
"Although he is really great personally, I heard that I can't even listen to his classes!"
"..."
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Paul Phil-Jones came to the classroom. He walked directly to the podium and even felt a little nervous when he saw the hundreds of faces in the audience.
Of course, there is more to look forward to.
He prepared a lot for the course, and even took out the recorded content, then glanced at it and said, "I am Paul Phil-Jones, you can call me Teacher Jones."
"Class starts now..."
He said something suddenly occurred to him, and then added, "I heard from some students that my lecture speed is too fast. Considering that this class is relatively difficult, I will try to slow down..."
This statement provides some reassurance to students familiar with Paul Field-Jones' course.
Paul Phil-Jones officially entered the teaching mode, "I won't go into the basic content. Let's first talk about nonlinear mechanics and chaos issues..."
"The basic laws of particle motion, from Newtonian mechanics to Lagrangian mechanics, to Hamiltonian mechanics, study of the most common forms of motion in nature, and in-depth study of the two most common forms of motion in nature, including cardiodynamic field motion and Vibrations and waves..."
After a brief introduction, the course entered the formal content. "Lorentz designed a simplified model of atmospheric convection. After the model was simplified, a set of three ordinary differential equations was obtained, which is Lorentz equation······"
Paul Field-Jones wrote down the Lorentz equation and said, "There is no need to explain this equation. Let's talk about the butterfly effect..."
"By deriving from this equation, you can find..."
"Obviously, the equation will be transformed into a second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation..."
"everybody knows······"
"obviously······"
"This place can be skipped and we can draw conclusions..."
"You should all understand..."
Wang Hao sat in the front row and listened patiently to Paul Phil-Jones' explanation. However, the explanation only lasted for more than ten minutes when he felt very strange.
Of course he can understand.
But he felt it was just because he knew the content without even listening.
If you have enough basic knowledge, or have understood most of the content through self-study, it is probably possible to understand the course, but without the above prerequisites, it will be difficult to keep up.
"Is this still 'slowing down' the progress? What will happen if we don't slow down?"
He really didn't know how to evaluate it, so he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at it.
The number of people in the classroom is much thinner.
Many students simply stood up and went out through the back door openly. There were also students who kept walking back, obviously not prepared to continue listening.
There are fewer and fewer people in the classroom.
An hour later, there were less than fifty people left in the classroom, half of whom were teachers from the School of Science, and a few students simply slept on the table.
Wang Hao glanced at the classroom again and suddenly felt very relieved, because there were still about ten students listening carefully.
This is already amazing!
For a course at this pace, if only two or three students can listen carefully, it is completely acceptable.
Obviously Paul Phil-Jones also noticed it. From the initial anticipation and nervousness, he no longer had any smile on his face.
.....
Finally, the course is over.
Wang Hao didn't know how he got through it, but he felt that Paul Phil-Jones must have felt more painful.
When the last part of the lecture was finished, several students and the teacher who stayed there out of dignity left the classroom impatiently.
Of course Wang Hao couldn't leave directly. He walked over and patted Paul Phil-Jones on the shoulder, "Don't take it too seriously, Paul."
Paul Phil-Jones was indeed a little sad. He couldn't figure out why the students left midway. He couldn't help but asked in frustration, "Is it because my lecture was so bad?"
"······no?"
Wang Hao hesitated and felt that he should be comforted, "Maybe the difficulty of the course is set too high. Think about it, just start from nonlinear mechanics. Even your "Quantum Chaos" is not so difficult, right? ?」
Paul Phil-Jones thought about it carefully and couldn't help but nodded, "So that's it. It seems that our lesson plan was not done well, but we can't change it now..."
He suddenly began to worry about Wang Hao, "Your afternoon course is to continue this part of the knowledge. Is that okay? Otherwise, let's study the course content again?"
"No."
Wang Hao waved his hand and said seriously, "Students, come as many as you can. Even if there is only one student in the classroom, I will finish the lecture according to the plan."
Paul Phil-Jones thought about the scene where there was only one student in the audience and he insisted on giving a serious lecture, and suddenly felt that he was much happier in comparison.
He sighed, "Wang Hao, it's really hard for you!"
