On the other side, when Li Jiangao returned to the studio after seeing off Xu Dajiang, he saw Qiao Ze standing at the corner of the balcony looking out.
This is also one of the good habits that Qiao Ze has developed since he was a child^_^. Whether using the computer or browsing the mobile phone for more than two hours, he will choose a time to look into the distance and rest his eyes.
It seems like a very simple habit, but in fact not many people can stick to it.
The vast majority of people do not pay special attention to time when playing on the computer or browsing their mobile phones, let alone thinking that their eyes need to rest.
It is never easy to defeat inertia in the long term, and it requires extremely high rationality.
Li Jiangao walked up behind Qiao Ze and suggested, "If you don't have much to do in the afternoon, why not go for a walk? Staying bored in the room all the time is not good for your health."
Qiao Ze turned around and glanced at Li Jiangao, then nodded.
"Is there anything I need to explain to Tan Jingrong?" Li Jiangao pointed in the direction of the studio.
Qiao Ze shook his head and responded simply: "He understands."
"That's okay, let's go." Li Jiangao said happily.
No need to explain anything else, it shows that Tan Jingrong has integrated well into this team, and at least has gained Qiao Ze's trust.
This is also good news for Li Jiangao. A conscientious tutor really hopes that his students will have a good future.
…
Although the sun is still hot, the campus is still much deserted during the exam season.
The most obvious one is the playground.
No one is sweating freely there anymore. If it were normal times, the school playground at this time would already be bustling with activity.
But that's pretty good too.
The two of them could just take a walk under the shade of the trees outside the playground without being disturbed by the noise in the playground.
"There is good news. Dean Xu just said that he plans to help your mother find a position in the activity center where she can stay in an office. That is much more comfortable than managing a dormitory." Li Jiangao relayed Xu Dajiang's decision to Qiao Ze .
Of course Li Jiangao knew that this was Xu Dajiang's purpose, so he naturally wanted to tell Qiao Ze immediately.
When he was persuaded by Zhang Chunlei, he no longer thought about letting Qiao Ze go to a higher and bigger platform too quickly. In a sense, Xu Dajiang's thoughts became consistent with his.
"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded, not showing how happy he was.
Fortunately, Li Jiangao is used to it.
After all, he had never seen Qiao Ze burst out with intense emotions after being in contact with him for so long.
Whether it's good news or bad news, it's always a very peaceful attitude.
It's the same even when falling in love, or in other words, it never gives people the happiness of falling into sweet love.
"One more thing, the editorial office responded. They still suggested that we make changes according to the comments given by the reviewers, and said that if you still insist on withdrawing the manuscript, you may be blacklisted. We will no longer accept us Manuscript submitted.”
Qiao Ze thought for a while and said, "If you don't change it, withdraw it."
"Well, okay! I will choose a journal later and resubmit." Li Jiangao didn't persuade him.
Anyway, there is more than just this mathematics journal in the world.
Although there are not many mathematics journals with impact factors above 5.0, there are definitely many.
Not to mention that Qiao Ze has already achieved results. Even if they are blacklisted, they will definitely not be the ones who regret it.
Yes, Li Jiangao also felt that Qiao Ze could be willful.
"By the way, do you feel that your efficiency is already very high? Qiao Ze, I always feel like you are in a hurry?"
Obviously Li Jiangao still didn't give up and asked Qiao Ze to slow down and stop to look at other scenery in life.
He really didn't want Qiao Ze's people to live like a scientific research machine.
Qiao Ze shook his head and said: "I didn't deliberately rush for time, but I hope that there will be enough results in mathematics within seven years, at least for us to become academicians. Because I am not sure whether there will be any results after that."
Li Jiangao was stunned and said suspiciously: "Seven years?"
Qiao Ze nodded.
"Why? You will only be 25 years old after seven years. Generally speaking, mathematicians are most productive when they are thirty to forty years old. How could you not be able to produce more results?" Li Jiangao couldn't help but ask.
Qiao Ze replied: "Because I study mathematics and think about a series of mathematical problems, in fact, all to study quantum physics! Group theory, non-commutative geometry, linear algebra...etc., etc., are all to solve a problem that has been bothering me. The problem is the mass gap hypothesis. But solving this problem is also to enable me to have enough mathematical tools to solve an ultimate physics problem."
Li Jiangao paused.
Surprised, he turned to look at Qiao Ze, who still had a calm expression next to him.
He still doesn't know this child well enough.
I thought that Qiao Ze did not have such a strong purpose in academic research, but unexpectedly, he always had a clear purpose.
Perhaps becoming an academician was an offshoot of his idea after listening to his words?
But today is obviously a good opportunity. It's rare that this little guy is willing to open his heart.
"Which ultimate problem can you tell me about? The unification of physics?"
Qiao Ze shook his head and said, "No, it's about the authenticity of the universe."
"The authenticity of the universe?" Li Jiangao felt a little embarrassed. He always felt that this should be a philosophical proposition, not a scientific proposition.
"Yes, starting from the brain in the thought experiment vat, if we prove it mathematically, there is only one answer. A brain driven by electrical signals cannot tell whether the world it is in is real or not. This is easy to prove."
Li Jiangao nodded, he was too lazy to ask about the proof process.
"So how do we prove or disprove whether our universe is real? Are we brains in a vat?" Li Jiangao heard the confusion in Qiao Ze's tone for the first time.
"But this... where do you plan to start researching?" Li Jiangao couldn't help but ask.
"There are many directions. For example, the first one is to prove or falsify the discreteness of macroscopic space. That is to say, we need to know what the world is like under the Planck length. If the Planck length is really the minimum scale of the universe, Then the space below the Planck length will no longer have physics. When we can observe the space below the Planck length, it will become a meaningless pixelated world. On the other hand, if we can prove that space is Continuous means that there are new physics below the Planck length that we have not yet discovered. The former means that our universe may really be virtual, and the latter can prove that our universe is real."
"This..." Li Jiangao frowned and asked, "How much do you know about the Planck length?"
"1.6x10 -35 meters, of course, this is just an appearance. Because now the way we study, observe, and measure the microscopic world is to compress more energy into a smaller space. That is what the European Center for Atomic Nuclear Research does, using Particle accelerator collision. But △x is equal to the reduced Planck constant hba multiplied by the speed of light and divided by the energy E. In other words, the greater the energy, the more accurate the observation of the microscopic world.
But at the same time, if we put too much energy into an observation space, there is also a possibility of creating a black hole, which needs to be understood in conjunction with the Schwarzschild radius. The formula for the Schwarzschild radius is Δx mass m times the gravitational force G divided by the square of the speed of light. In other words, the energy corresponds to the Schwarzschild radius. So the contradiction arises. Increasing the energy can resolve smaller scales, but at the same time increasing the energy will also cause the scale to decrease.
According to the formula of relativity, E is equal to mass m times the square of the speed of light, and the final result is Planck's constant. Uncle Li, don’t you think this is interesting? In other words, existing physical theories support that the Planck length is the ultimate resolution of the macroscopic structure of our universe. If you want to continue your research, you will observe black holes one after another, so space is discrete rather than continuous. It also means that our universe was created by God. Unless the existing physical theory has huge flaws. "
Li Jiangao listened silently, and his heart gradually began to calm down.
He finally understood why he could always see the light of wisdom in Qiao Ze's eyes.
What mathematical problems, what natural language framework, these are just clouds.
The questions this little guy is thinking about are probably similar to the questions many big-name scientists thought about in their later years.
And it is not the kind of idealistic thinking, but an attempt to revise the entire theoretical system of scientific development.
Therefore, Li Jiangao felt that his previous judgment was correct. If Qiao Ze can really make achievements in the future, his status in the scientific community may greatly surpass Newton, Einstein and other great scientists who have led to the rapid development of the world.
What makes Li Jiangao most ironic is that in their eyes, all this little guy's interest and research in mathematics are actually to help him think about an ultimate physics problem.
No wonder he didn't bother to discuss non-commutative geometry with Zhang Hongcai at the dinner party that day.
It's scary to think that way.
After casually studying mathematics, he came up with an intelligent algorithm that was more powerful than chatGpt. Li Jiangao didn't dare to think about what achievements Qiao Ze could show when he studied physics in the future.
But when the conversation started today, he really wanted to know how much was hidden in Qiao Ze's little head, so he asked again: "Well, you just said that this is just one direction, which means you have also prepared other research direction?"
"Well, there are many. For example, the problem of the dimensional structure of the universe. Why is our world three-dimensional? One-dimensional and two-dimensional are easy to explain. If the structure is not complex enough, the periodic table of elements cannot be formed, and it cannot support the development of intelligent life at all. It cannot be four-dimensional. This is because the stability of high-dimensional space is much lower than that of three-dimensional space. All objects in the universe are inseparable from basic forces such as gravity and electromagnetic force, and the extra dimensions cause serious attenuation of the force.
When an additional macroscopic dimension appears in our universe, planets will be extremely sensitive to distance. Any fluctuation in their orbits will cause planets to break away from the galaxy or directly collide. This kind of structure simply cannot form large material structures such as galaxy clusters, and it cannot sustain the long evolution of life. Not to mention higher dimensions. So does our universe follow the law of anthropic selection, or is it designed this way? "
Li Jiangao was brought into Qiao Ze's thinking and asked: "Then what do you think of the superstring theory proposed by the physics community? In superstring theory, the universe must have nine dimensions. So superstring theory is wrong? "
Qiao Ze glanced at Li Jiangao and said: "No. Three-dimensional space cannot accommodate more dimensions, but superstring theory discusses the microscopic. Maybe there are six other dimensions hidden under the Planck length? And this is also This just proves why the current Standard Model cannot explain the mass of neutrinos."
"What do you mean?" Obviously, Li Jiangao was really attracted by the content of Qiao Ze's chat.
"For example, when we observe the trajectory of a particle, from the large dimensions we can observe, the particle path is a straight line. But in fact, during the movement of the particle, it will also move up and down in small amplitudes due to the influence of spin or other forces. Or vibrating left and right. It’s just that this dimension is too small for us to see. In other words, other dimensions are curled up. Because we can’t see them currently, we can only think that the universe has only three dimensions.
"Let's talk about neutrinos. The Higgs mechanism in the standard model cannot give neutrinos mass, but the latest observed neutrino oscillations show that neutrinos must have a slight mass. Because if neutrinos have no mass, then It will pass through the earth at the speed of light, and there is no passage of time for particles flying at the speed of light. There is no time as a reference for movement, and particles cannot transform back and forth in three different forms. Neutrinos transform in three different states, which proves It's going through time.
Then the problem arises. The Higgs mechanism that gives particles mass cannot give neutrinos mass, but neutrinos are determined to have mass. So is it possible that part of the neutrino's velocity is actually leaked into the extra dimension below the Planck length? If I can prove this, it will also prove that the universe we live in is not discrete, but a continuous space. It can also prove that under the Planck length, there are new physics that we cannot think about and touch yet. study. "
This goes back again, but it just proves that Qiao Ze usually thinks very carefully.
After listening to Qiao Ze's words, Li Jiangao subconsciously raised his hand and patted Qiao Ze's shoulder.
Qiao Ze turned his head and glanced at Li Jiangao, his eyes slightly confused.
In fact, Li Jiangao's idea is very simple. He just patted a scientific giant on the shoulder.
While Qiao Ze is still not well-known, it would be good to take advantage of this.
After all, when this kid becomes famous, he will be too shameless to raise his hand and pat someone on the shoulder.
It’s another day where I can’t sleep at night.
Li Jiangao originally thought that Qiao Ze's thinking and obsession with the quality gap hypothesis was already the child's ultimate goal in life.
But who would have thought that people who want to solve this mathematical problem that has troubled the world for nearly a century are just looking for a convenient mathematical tool to study physical problems.
This is definitely because God was dissatisfied with the fact that the development of basic science in this world has been stagnant for too long, so he specially sent Qiao Ze down, right?
Yes, after talking about materialism for so long, Qiao Ze's words actually made Li Jiangao start to become materialistic.
"Kid, the questions you are thinking about are very meaningful! Really, follow your ideas. With your talent, seven years is enough time to make a breakthrough in the world of mathematics. I'm waiting to see you create a new physics theory System! I also believe that I will be able to see it in my lifetime!"
