From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Chapter 418: Started again, experimental verification successful!

"The unification of the three basic forces!"

After Lin Xiao's words were spoken, the physicists present stood up involuntarily.

What?

The unity of the three fundamental forces?

What Lin Xiao meant was that during this period of "lost contact", he was actually studying the unification of the three basic forces?

Everyone present had only one feeling for a moment: Isn't this too crazy?

Of course, Lin Xiao was talking about the unification of the three fundamental forces. Basically, the people present did not have much doubts. Gravity has just been proven and the existence of gravitons. As for the specific properties of gravitons, they have to wait for their subsequent collisions. Continue to verify and confirm during testing.

Therefore, what they can basically know is that the three basic forces that Lin Xiao calls unified are the strong interaction force, the electromagnetic interaction force, and the weak interaction force.

Of course, the latter two can already be called the electroweak interaction force. But now, if Lin Xiao's conclusion is finally verified to be correct, then presumably, it will be called the electroweak strong interaction force in the future. .

Thinking of this, the people present felt even more incredible surprise.

No matter what, this is really incredible for them.

Lin Xiao went back to study for a while, and then came out and told them that these three basic powers were unified?

And there is only one gravity left from the final theory of everything?

Moreover, they had just made a huge breakthrough in the study of gravity.

If you think about it this way, they are already very close to the ultimate dream of physics?

The physicists present all had different expressions, and finally they all turned their attention to the two sets of equations written by Lin Xiao in front of them.

They quickly recognized the set of equations on the left, which was the set of equations in the electroweak unified theory. Although it had been rewritten a bit, it was still very familiar to the high-energy physicists present who were all considered talented. It's easy to see.

The system of equations on the right felt a little strange to them. Of course, they all knew the symbols in it, so they could still analyze what this system of equations said.

And soon, these physicists were better at mathematics, and they quickly analyzed the general meaning of this system of equations.

This new equation includes the specific method of action of the strong interaction, as well as the relationship between the electromagnetic interaction and the weak interaction.

In this way, this system of equations including the strong interaction force can be connected with the previous system of equations for the electroweak interaction force.

So - the three basic forces are unified!

On the road to pursuing the theory of everything in physics, a milestone that must be completed has been reached!

"Incredible, really incredible..."

Professor Tejinder Vidi was shaking his head at this time, looking at the thing in front of him as if he was demented, full of disbelief.

At this moment, he had completely forgotten about restarting CEPC and continuing the next experiments. The "physical beauty" of these two equations at this time had deeply immersed him in it.

In the face of this truth, scientists like them can be temporarily forgotten even if there are more important things.

After all, for them, the whole purpose of their work is to seek and discover the truth.

So just like that, the conference room fell into a brief silence, and Lin Xiao also smiled, giving these people time to absorb this new knowledge.

After a long while, finally, the physicists present began to come back to their senses.

Wang Yi looked at Lin Xiao with admiration in his eyes and gave him a thumbs up.

In half a month, Lin Xiao came up with something like this. It is really hard for people to imagine how he did it.

Could such an important theory be developed so easily?

Wang Yi shook his head. He really couldn't think of this, at least not by himself. Of course, there weren't many people in this world who could think of it.

In the past, when the relationship with Lin Xiao was not getting along, or the relationship could not be considered good or mediocre, every time he heard about Lin Xiao's achievements, he usually diverted his attention forcibly and did not pay attention to this matter. matter.

But at this moment, he began to pay attention, and he watched this kind of thing happen in front of him. He began to feel that this was simply not something that humans could do.

Of course, there is no need to think too much about whether Lin Xiao is a human being. Then he said: "Chairman Lin, no matter what, I still want to thank you for our physics community. Finally, another mountain in the physics community has been Our scientists have conquered it, which is a good thing for our physics community."

After hearing Wang Yi's words, everyone else came to their senses one after another, and then began to congratulate Lin Xiao.

Although I haven't seen Lin Xiao's derivation process, there is basically no doubt that the result is correct.

After all, these two systems of equations can be completely related to each other. At the same time, each formula of the equation is also true. Next, as long as a very simple step is performed, these two systems of equations can be completely combined. Together, the strong interaction and the electroweak interaction are truly integrated.

This kind of thing is like the mass-energy equation E=mc. Even if you don't know how this formula is derived, you can use it directly.

Of course, the congratulations now are congratulations. Although these two sets of equations can be combined, it is also said that for the physicists present, rigor must still come first.

So they still care about how Lin Xiao derived these equations.

Perhaps there are some fatal errors in it that make this system of equations that seems correct turn out to be wrong in the end?

So, someone asked: "Chairman Lin, has your paper been published on arxiv? Or do you plan to prepare an academic report first?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone present immediately turned their attention to Lin Xiao, wanting to know his answer.

Whichever it is, they can accept it.

At this time, all of them just wanted to know Lin Xiao's plan as soon as possible, so that they could know Lin Xiao's plan as soon as possible.

However, what surprised everyone was that Lin Xiao just smiled slightly and said: "No, before these two things, I have one more thing that needs to be verified."

Then, he turned his head again and started writing on the blackboard. This time, he started to combine the two systems of equations and write them into one system of equations.

This step is not troublesome, at least for Lin Xiao, so after a few transformations that others may call dazzling, the original two equations were integrated into one that can be called the electroweak and strong interaction. The unified equations of force appeared in front of everyone.

At this time, Lin Xiao turned his head, looked at this kind of person with a smile, and said, "Now please guess what will happen when the energy in the equation reaches 110TeV?"

Everyone present was stunned. The energy in the equation?

They knew that what Lin Xiao was talking about was the "E" in the equation. After all, E represents energy.

When E equals 110TeV?

They all couldn't help but put 110 into it.

And soon, some of these physicists figured it out.

Then, the person who calculated it opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Will the three basic forces behave as the same force?"

Others also showed the same shocked expression after realizing it.

"Yes, that's it."

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, "Under the energy of 110 TeV, the three basic forces will show the same properties, which is the true electroweak and strong interaction force."

"So, next I need to use our CEPC to verify my conjecture."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of this, has our CEPC been inspected now?"

Suddenly I remembered that when I started researching things, CEPC had already entered into the initial maintenance work, and I didn’t know if it was over yet.

As soon as Lin Xiao said these words, he immediately felt that the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to have changed. The physicists present seemed to be giving him... resentful expressions?

He touched his nose and asked Wang Yi in a low voice: "Uh, what's going on? Did I say something wrong?"

Wang Yi spread his hands and shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face, and said: "Actually, the maintenance was completed a week ago. I have been in contact with you during this period, but you can't be contacted. You also know that you are our Chairman of the Academic Committee, the scientific plan that needs to be carried out next requires your decision."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, didn't expect such a thing?

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the physicists present, and finally showed an embarrassed expression on his face, saying: "Ah... I'm sorry everyone, this is my negligence. If I continue to study in the future, If we formulate a scientific plan, I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again, and we will try to discuss it in advance in the future."

Hearing Lin Xiao's apology, everyone present smiled and shook their heads. At this time, they were not so angry. After learning that Lin Xiao's disappearance during this period was actually to study the unification of the three forces, they were not Nothing to be angry about. .

And Tejinder Vidi also smiled and said: "Well, for the sake of Chairman Lin, you have researched this thing, let's not mention this matter for now."

"However, Chairman Lin, the verification on the particle collider you mentioned does not conflict with your thesis and academic report, right? Why wait until this is verified?"

Although the experiment using a particle collider is only an experimental verification of Lin Xiao's results, it also requires rigorous mathematical derivation and verification, and the two are obviously not in conflict.

Why not do it together?

Lin Xiao smiled, spread his hands and said, "As long as it passes the experimental verification, I will be more confident. In addition, it can also create a sense of expectation for everyone."

Hearing the reason given by Lin Xiao, everyone present was stunned, and then they all shook their heads helplessly.

What kind of reason is this?

Looking at the expressions of the people present, Lin Xiao smiled, but didn't say anything.

In fact, the reason why he wants to verify this is actually the same as his original purpose.

That is to find a way to connect the electromagnetic interaction force and the strong interaction force, and then realize an alternative new material.

And this needs to be verified through this experiment.

However, this is not enough for outsiders.

"Then, let's start discussing the next scientific plan, right?"

At this time, Lin Xiao also found his seat and sat down, and said at the same time: "Now that our collider has been repaired, don't let it waste your life."

The people present reacted immediately after being reminded by Lin Xiao's words.

Indeed, it's time to discuss the next scientific plan, and they can't let their big toys continue to waste their lives for no reason.

The best way to use this kind of collider is to keep it running, so that it can maximize its value.

If possible, they even want to skip the repair process.

As a result, the next meeting turned into a scientific plan discussion meeting, and they wanted to determine the next research project as soon as possible.

Of course, Lin Xiao's plan to find a way to make the three forces behave as a unified force at a collision energy of 110 TeV was naturally the first to be approved.

After all, not to mention Lin Xiao's status as the chairman of the academic committee, the plans he proposed were often agreed to. The most important thing was that everyone present was curious about this experiment related to the unification of the three forces.

So soon, a meeting passed, and the next scientific plan was decided. Then, the results of the discussion were announced to all research groups in the research organization.

Among these announced news, there is naturally the unification of Lin Xiao's three basic powers of electricity, weakness, and strength.

Once this news was announced, it once again caused an uproar just like when Lin Xiao proved the existence of gravitons.

[The unity of the three basic forces of electricity, weakness and strength! 】

These words are always hot words in physics, but at this moment they are all combined together, and the symbol at the end is not a question mark, but an exclamation mark. This alone is enough to attract their attention.

The most important thing is that these hot words are related to the word "Lin Xiao", which makes them even more concerned.

For the current scientific community, they have basically developed a habit. If they see a subversive or hugely innovative title, they will first check whether the author of this thing is Lin Xiao. If not, If it is, it is false, and if it is, then they need to study it carefully.

And now, another subversive and innovative title appeared in front of them, and the author was Lin Xiao. As a result, the scientific community was boiling, and all scientists began to inquire about the news. To know whether this thing is true, this time not only people studying physics, but also people studying mathematics, chemistry, and even social sciences came over.

All in all, no one is not interested in this matter.

This matter has also been discussed by many people on major forums.

"Lin Shen, this is too inhuman, isn't it? The existence of graviton was proved some time ago, but now the unification of the three forces has been achieved? Is there anything else that Lin Shen can't do? 』

"Don't forget about the Golden Crow Project. Now Lin Shen is still the chief engineer of the Golden Crow Project. He can produce such important results while being the chief engineer. It is simply invincible. Maybe by then the Golden Crow The plan also worked. 』

"I guess there will be people discussing whether Lin Shen is an alien or not. 』

"What a coincidence, you are right downstairs"

"Brothers, I have told you that Lin Xiao is an alien. Strictly speaking, he is not an alien, but a person from a higher dimension. Otherwise, how do you think he can study multi-dimensional field theory? This kind of subject cannot be studied by people on earth at all, so everyone, believe me, let’s work together.』

"Together with what?" 』

"It's over, this guy was probably caught again"

"Purely a rational discussion, how strong is Lin Shen's theory? 』

"It's not a question of whether it's strong or not, it's that kind of rare theory that can be simply called invincible. I don’t know if you know about the Grand Unified Theory. Anyway, this thing developed by Lin Shen is the pre-theory of the Grand Unified Theory. In addition, Lin Shen recently came up with gravitons. Hiss... I feel like Lin Shen is here. A big game of chess? 』

"There is no need to talk about the issue of strength. I can only say that this thing developed by Lin Shen has directly allowed us in the physics community to develop our kung fu decades in advance."

"I'm afraid it won't be a hundred years. If there is no Lin Shen, whether we can understand the strong interaction in a hundred years will be a problem. Oh, by the way, there is also the mass gap problem, which is also a heavyweight."

"Why are you talking so much? Just start bragging!" 』

"..."

The Internet has shown great enthusiasm for this major event in physics.

After all, for those who study science in high school, as long as they study physics, they will basically know these four basic forces, and they will also know how awesome it is to unify these four basic forces.

Now, although Lin Xiao has only unified the top three basic powers, it still sounds awesome.

Of course, the reaction of the public is definitely not as drastic as the reaction of the scientific community.

First the graviton, and then the unification of the three fundamental forces. These two major events seemed to have produced a chemical reaction, which began to make more first-class high-energy physicists choose to leave for CEPC, including those at CERN. scientist.

Originally, many physicists felt that China's culture and language were different. Most of these physicists were born in Europe and the United States, so they were naturally more accustomed to working at CERN. But now that they see that CEPC is producing results every three days, so More and more of these people have made the decision to come to China CEPC.

As for the number of physicists doing research at the LHC at CERN, there are fewer and fewer.

If this continues, CERN will probably shut down the LHC as soon as possible and seek cooperation with CHEPRO instead.

However, these are things for later.

As time passed, CHEPRO became more and more lively, and finally, the day came to restart CEPC.

In the central control room, after hearing that all preparations were in place, Wang Yi gave the order again: "Start!"

With the introduction of huge current, this behemoth buried deep in the ground began to operate again.

Once again, particle collisions occur in those tubes.

And this time the running time is one month!

After a particle collider is officially put into operation, it usually does not stop for a long time.

Like the LHC, because liquid helium is needed to make the internal niobium-titanium alloy coil reach a superconducting state, once it shuts down, all the liquid helium needs to be discharged.

This is obviously a waste of money. After all, hundreds of tons of liquid helium are used to fill dozens of kilometers of pipelines once the machine is started, which is of course very expensive.

After CEPC uses room-temperature superconductors, this problem does not exist.

Of course, it is best to keep CEPC running for a long time. After all, although it does not require liquid helium to start up once, it still consumes a lot of power.

…

After CEPC started operating, the research laboratories where each detector was located quickly received the experimental data detected by the detectors.

These experimental data were quickly uploaded to the server, and various research groups began to analyze the data.

Among them, Lin Xiao was also included.

In this way, after a period of research, Lin Xiao finally found data generated by a 110TeV energy impact.

And after the approximate values ​​of these data were substituted into his system of equations, both sides of the equations in the system of equations were perfectly equal!

This also means that the experiment has verified that the three basic forces are unified!
