Great Country Academician

Chapter 309 New Physics Building

After explaining the relevant information about the inert neutrinos, David Gross pushed his glasses, and said again: "The following is a routine questioning session, please invite Professor Chen Zhengping from Huaguo to represent Professor Xu Chuan to help Please answer your questions."

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping, who had already made preparations, took a deep breath, straightened his suit, and calmly walked onto the podium, standing with David Gross, the chairman of CERN.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Almost as soon as the voice fell, a pair of hands in the venue bounced up as if they had been pricked by the tip of a needle.

"Hello, Professor Gross, hello, Professor Chen, I'm a media reporter from CTV, what does your latest discovery mean? Is it related to dark matter? Could you please explain it to the general public?"

After thinking about it, Chen Zhengping slowly said: "The discovery of the inertial neutrino is of great significance not only to the physics world, but also to the entire human race."

"First of all, it is the first particle that we have observed and confirmed that exceeds the prediction of the standard model. Its appearance breaks the standard model and tells us that the universe is not only the standard model, but also has more unknown things."

"Secondly, whether it is related to dark matter is uncertain."

"Because of the limitations of the performance of the observation equipment, we only confirmed its existence and part of its properties and information in this observation of the inert neutrino, while another part of its properties are hidden in the fog of chaos, and we cannot confirm."

"Of course, this is also the meaning of the existence of the physics community, to find and solve the mystery. If one day, our observation equipment can observe the whole picture of the inert neutrino, we may be able to solve whether it is related to dark matter."

After the words fell, the BBC, the broadcasting company where the sun never sets, immediately stretched out the microphone in his hand: "Hello, Academician Chen, may I ask why Professor Xu didn't come to the press conference this time? Is he researching something new?" Would you like to reveal it?"

Chen Zhengping glanced at the reporter: "You can choose to go to Huaguo to ask Professor Xu about this question yourself. I don't know. The next one."

Hearing this, another reporter quickly handed over the microphone: "Hello, Professor Chen, may the discovery of inertial neutrinos bring down the physics building of the Standard Model?"

Chen Zhengping: "No, the sterile neutrino is indeed a particle beyond the prediction of the standard model, but it does not mean that the standard model will be overthrown."

"It is more likely that the physics community will rebuild a new physics building outside the building of the Standard Model, and use it to accommodate a wider world."

The moment he finished answering, a microphone came up again at lightning speed.

"Academician Chen, according to Professor Xu's previously disclosed theory, inert neutrinos are part of dark matter. May I ask when we can officially observe dark matter and dark energy? How long will it take to use these two substances?"

Chen Zhengping thought for a while, and replied: "As for the question of the relationship between inert neutrinos and dark matter, I prefer to consult Professor Xu. He is the real authority in this regard, and I cannot answer on his behalf. .”

"And when we can officially observe dark matter and dark energy, it depends on when our observation equipment and collider can be upgraded to a sufficient standard threshold."

"As for the utilization of these two substances, it may take at least a century or longer."

CERN's press conference is over.

The Q\u0026A session lasted for a full hour.

The news that inert neutrinos have been confirmed to exist, or will be related to dark matter and dark energy, quickly occupied the headlines of major media.

""CTV Media": Professor Xu, a well-known Chinese scholar, confirmed the existence of inert neutrinos. This is the first particle in history that exceeds the prediction of the Standard Model, and may be related to dark matter!"

"Wall Street Journal: CERN's major discovery, particles beyond the standard model! Our universe is more mysterious than imagined!"

""BBC Daily": Professor Xu Chuan, who was unable to attend the press conference, may be conducting more mysterious research than inert neutrinos."

"Washington Post: Be vigilant, Huaguo's latest discovery may destroy the world, and the inertial neutrino will open the door to the unknown hell."

""New York Times"."

Whether it is traditional paper media or online media, after CERN's press conference, terms such as 'cern', 'inert neutrino', 'dark matter', 'dark energy', 'Professor Xu', etc. were all over the screen. up.

Almost most of the media include eye-catching names such as dark matter or the universe in the title to attract traffic.

And for the general public, dark matter is undeniably fascinating.

After all, it is extremely mysterious, it only exists in theory, and it has never been observed before.

News reports from major media, coupled with the forwarding of some technology bloggers and big Vs, related news rushed to the trending searches at an extremely fast speed.

When netizens reacted, inert neutrinos and dark matter directly occupied the top of the list of major software platforms.

[Gan, it's all title party! I thought I had discovered dark matter. 】

[Dark matter is not so easy to discover, this so-called fallen neutrino, didn’t it mean that only half of it has been observed, and the other half belonging to dark matter has not been observed. 】

[To discover dark matter, the performance of human beings' current colliders and detectors must be improved by at least several orders of magnitude. 】

[Humans are looking for dark matter, just like a thinking fish on the bottom of the sea, wanting to know water. In the fish's world view, it may never be able to perceive the existence of water.

And we humans stand in the perspective of God, we can see the existence of water, and we can also invent the theory of atoms, solid-liquid-gas three-states, which can unify the world we see, but you can’t explain it to fish, so you have to stand in four dimensions Angle, to see dark matter. 】

[A day to witness history, a new particle beyond the standard model, Chuan Shen is indeed a god! This time, his physical godhead was stabilized. 】

[The material for the first question of the multiple-choice question in the postgraduate entrance examination this morning is dark matter. I just watched the press conference, and I was very happy, and I understood it well, but the answer is a little uncertain]

[If you don’t understand, ask, why is there a question about dark matter in the political test? 】

[Undecided when things happen, quantum mechanics. The quality is not enough, the dark matter is enough! 】

[Six, it also rhymes. 】

[Dark matter may not actually exist, it is just a matter of the scope of existing theories. It is similar to the previous ether concept. To put it bluntly, it is just a patch made by scientists to the theory of relativity. 】

[Not much to say, let me just say, Chuan Shen is awesome! 】

【.】

As expected, the discovery of sterile neutrinos has become the most eye-catching research result in physics this year.

Putting aside the comments of netizens, on the other hand, on Arxiv and other preprinted websites, theories and papers related to inertial neutrinos and dark matter have sprung up like mushrooms. The number is so large that it can be said to be extremely rare.

Some physicists guess and make up for the undiscovered properties of inert neutrinos; there are also physicists who speculate on the relationship between inert neutrinos and dark matter

Countless physicists, not only postgraduates and doctoral students, but also physics professors and even big names in the physics world, have taken action to sort out their ideas and upload them to the Arxiv preprint website.

After all, for the physics community, there is a default rule: "Those famous awards, such as the Nobel Prize, such as the Wolf Prize in Physics, etc., will not be awarded to the discoverer of a certain particle or phenomenon. And It will be sent to the submitter."

Just like in 2012/13, CERN discovered the Higgs particle, but the Nobel Prize was not awarded to CERN, but to Peter Higgs and François François, who proposed the Higgs boson theory So did Sova Engler.

Even if the Higgs boson theory was proposed in the 1960s.

So even if the inertial neutrino was discovered by Xu Chuan, the probability of him winning the Nobel Prize is not 100%. Because the inert neutrino was not proposed by him, but by physicists in the United States.

Of course, because of the discovery of inertial neutrinos, it is not impossible for Xu Chuan to win the Nobel Prize.

This is because in the past, although scientists in the United States proposed the concept of inert neutrinos, they did not make detailed data predictions for them.

Because it can't be done.

After all, it is quite difficult to predict particles that cannot be observed and are not in the standard model.

But this time, the relevant data was perfected by him.

So if he can continue to improve the information on inertial neutrinos in the future, he still has a chance to win another Nobel Prize.

But for Xu Chuan, the Nobel Prize is not very attractive to him.

Not to mention the previous life, the physical achievements he made in this life alone have several Nobel Prizes.

Of course, the Nobel Prize, which is not very attractive to him, is simply infinitely attractive to other physicists.

What's more, the inert neutrino is a particle beyond the standard model. It is the foundation of a new physics building. The future is not only bright, but it can be a new world.

Therefore, after the discovery of inertial neutrinos, countless physicists began to "perfect" the properties of inertial neutrinos, and began to "guess" the nature of dark matter, and then made bets.

After all, everything is possible. If I bet right, I might be able to win a Nobel Prize in decades to go down in history.

It's just that the difficulty of winning the Nobel Prize from the unknown is too high, even harder than winning the first prize in the lottery.

On the one hand, it is because of a brand-new theory, or a prediction of a certain particle. If it wants to be accepted by the physics community, at least your theory must be logically autonomous, and it must be tenable and cannot be overthrown by others. .

Just like the string theory and M theory created by Edward Witten, it may take two centuries, three centuries or even more time to prove it.

But at the same time, if it is to be falsified, from the current physics community, no one can overthrow string theory and M theory.

Because it is indeed logically self-consistent, and the theory exists.

From this aspect, the difficulty can be described as quite large.

Because you have to understand not only this particle, but also various other physics. Such as relativity, Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and so on.

And it can't be the kind of understanding that has a half-knowledge, it has to be a fairly deep understanding.

Otherwise, when other bigwigs look at your papers and theories, they will point out loopholes or problems to you in a single click.

Therefore, most people who bet on bets basically failed.

In the long history of physics, there are only one or two lucky ones.

For example, Louis Victor de Broglie, a French theoretical physicist, founder of matter wave theory, and one of the founders of quantum mechanics.

De Broglie did not study physics at the beginning. He is a rich second-generation rich family, and he studied history.

Later, because of his family relationship, he went to a good university, followed a good mentor, and happened to publish a half-guessed, half-academic graduation thesis, which was noticed by Einstein and attracted widespread attention from the academic community.

In the end, the physics community found out that he had guessed right, and the big guy accepted a Nobel Prize.

Of course, in the latter part of his academic career, De Broglie's physical level was not low.

Even though he didn't study physics at the beginning, after entering the field of physics, he still completed his knowledge of physics at an extremely fast speed.

However, the concept of "matter wave" he put forward during college was indeed half-guessed. This luck can be said to be the son of heaven.

In contrast to de Broglie, in the history of the physics community, those who have made various famous theories and proved them to be correct are basically physicists who have studied physics deeply.

Such as Einstein, such as Bohr, such as Planck and so on.

Because without a solid foundation of physics knowledge, it is impossible to make any correct theories and judgments.

In the field of science such as mathematics and physics, even if there are some lucky children occasionally, they still have to rely on their true strength to speak.

Naturally, Xu Chuan would not miss such things as the remaining data predictions of inert neutrinos, the properties of dark matter and data predictions.

As early as when he first analyzed the signs of inertial neutrinos with a confidence level of 3sigma, he had predicted and announced the remaining unobserved data of inertial neutrinos.

After all, this is his own achievement in the future, and there is no need for others to take it away.

Even now, many of the theories on the arxiv preprint website are based on the prediction theories he published before.

After all, in the eyes of many people, it is better to follow the back of this big guy than to exhaust their minds to make some theories that do not know whether they will succeed.

The big brother's theory is definitely more reliable than his own, and some expansion and expansion on it is equivalent to looking at the world from the shoulders of giants.

The success rate is definitely higher than that of being blind.

Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to these opportunists.

Before his rebirth, his research and observation of dark matter had just started. He didn't know what was behind it, let alone other people.

If this can be caught by them, it is considered luck.
