Chapter 1150 Boat Particles

IMCRC headquarters.

Lecture Hall No. 1 was full of seats, and it was dark as far as the eye could see. Among them are researchers from IMCRC, physicists from other research institutions who have come here from far away, and even scholars from Brookhaven National Laboratory who have taken their annual leave to visit here in their personal capacity.

The report meeting was about to start in ten minutes, and almost everyone was looking forward to it.

At the upcoming report meeting, as the chairman of the IMCRC and the initiator of the 750Gev project, Lu Zhou will summarize the data collected from the experiment a few days ago, and further elaborate on his theory of hyperspace and the star hidden in hyperspace. The study of particles in the world.

Looking at the venue full of discussions, Wei Teng, who was sitting in the banquet, suddenly said with emotion.

"...Unbelievable, it's only been a month."

Before that, he was even prepared to spend a whole year on this subject, but he never expected that such a major progress would occur in just one month.

If you want to say who is the happiest, besides Lu Zhou, it must belong to him.

Having seen the complete experimental data, he knows exactly what the success of this experiment means. If this hyperspace particle really exists, his prediction in M ​​theory will undoubtedly obtain a crucial evidence.

And not only that, the most important thing is that this experiment will become the first exploration of matter in the high-dimensional world in the history of human physics, instead of just proving the existence of high-dimensional space.

This will undoubtedly have great enlightening significance for the development of physics in the future.

In contrast, this hyperspace particle itself is "insignificant".

After a long pause, Professor Witten continued to add something in an emotional tone.

"...Brookhaven National Laboratory probably regretted it right now."

Hearing Professor Witten's words, Professor Frank Wilczek, who was sitting next to him, did not speak, but a subtle expression appeared on his face.

In fact, it is not only Brookhaven National Laboratory that regrets it.

A long time ago, about seven years ago, Lu Zhou was still an intern at CERN, and he was the one who led the 750Gev project. If he hadn't given up, the first high-dimensional particle discovered in human history might be named after him.

For example, Wilczek particles or something.

However, it is meaningless to say these things now...

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Almost stepping on the spot, Lu Zhou in formal attire stepped into the crowded lecture hall.

Almost at the moment when he stepped into this lecture hall, the noisy voice in the venue was like the receding tide, and it became quiet in an instant.

Looking at the packed venue, Lu Zhou walked up to the stage and straightened the microphone.

Facing a pair of expectant or serious gazes, he spoke slowly in a clear voice.

"Many years ago, I discovered an anomaly in 750Gev."

There are no redundant opening remarks.

Lu Zhou, who went straight to the topic, continued.

"I don't think it's CERN that abandoned my results. It's limited by the experimental conditions of objective lag, limited by the existing theories that are not enough to support my conclusions, and limited by my own level... In short, the experiment cannot continue Going on, temporarily shelving is the best choice."

"However, I never thought that my conclusions were wrong."

"Not because of stubbornness, but because I did find that unnatural anomaly in the results of my calculations. Maybe quantum fluctuations are a convenient explanation, but I trust my calculations more .”

"Because of mathematics, you may make mistakes, but you will never lie."

Looking around the silent venue, Lu Zhou smiled and continued in a relatively pleasant tone.

"It is a great honor to stand here and announce the latest research results of IMCRC to everyone!"

"Sacrificing countless hydrogen nuclei, we finally found the ghost that has been haunting us from the mystery comparable to the quantum world."

"750Gev is not the whole of it, but the part of it that is exposed to our sight. As I guessed at first, its true body is hidden in the hyperspace that cannot be directly observed."

The voices of discussion spread in the lecture hall.

Almost half of them, especially the scholars from other research institutions, showed unexpected expressions on their faces. Although they have seen the experimental data, most of them do not understand why Lu Zhou made such a decisive conclusion.

At least in the eyes of most of them, there is no direct connection between the two.

Noticed the changes in the expressions on their faces, but the expression on Lu Zhou's face did not change at all, and he continued to speak in a relaxed tone.

"Before I start my exposition, I want to tell a story."

"How can a paper man living in a two-dimensional world observe a sphere moving in three-dimensional space?"

"Usually, we don't think that's possible."

"The cognition of two-dimensional creatures to the three-dimensional world must be incomplete, there is no doubt about it. Unless we are lucky, we can barely see its projection in the two-dimensional world with the help of a beam of light from the three-dimensional world .However, without this beam of light, we not only lack the means of observation, but also lack the understanding of the high-dimensional world. What we can see is only what they want us to see...or in other words, is The moment the sphere landed on the paper."

"At that moment, we can see an extremely tiny 'tangent point' at the position where the sphere touches the plane. And when the sphere is smooth enough, the area of ​​this tangent point is even negligible. So much so that we feel that there might be something there, but we can't feel its existence no matter how much we grope."

"This is the limitation of two-dimensional creatures." Looking at the scholars in the audience, Lu Zhou's voice gradually became serious, and he continued, "They will never know that an extremely small creature they observe in their own world Point, what is the corresponding thing in the three-dimensional world. Maybe it is a giant object comparable to a planet, maybe it is just a tiny hydrogen nucleus. "

"If you think about it carefully, is it scary to think about it? Maybe the elementary particles we are familiar with, in fact, in the higher-dimensional world, are actually a bigger and weirder thing than we imagined. And everything around us , if it is divided infinitely, will there be countless such infinitely small origins in the end?"

Looking at the faces in deep thought in the front row of the lecture hall, Lu Zhou waited quietly for a while, giving the scholars present half a minute to think.

After pausing for a moment, he smiled and continued to speak.

"Of course, studying the nature of the universe we see is not the focus of this report."

After all, Lu Zhou turned to face the whiteboard, smeared a solid circle on it, and then slid down a few line segments as an abstract light source, projecting it onto a hand-painted plane.

"Suppose a situation, if the light source shining on the paper is not vertical, but emitted from a point. Then the sphere moving between the light source and the plane, for the creatures in the two-dimensional world, is no longer It is an existence that cannot hide. At least through the study of the size of the projection, they can calculate the distance between the sphere and itself in the three-dimensional coordinate system, and even calculate its physical properties based on its trajectory and speed. They may not be able to see it with their own eyes."

"And we're doing exactly the same thing at the Lunar Hadron Collider!"

Unbelievable voices gradually spread from the audience.

A trace of surprise was written on the faces of many people, which was stronger than before.

Responding to the surprised eyes, Lu Zhou continued.

"Through multiple experiments on 1250Tev, 1260Tev, and 1300Tev energy regions, we have collected enough data."

"In the mathematical sense, no matter how many dimensions it has, even if we can't understand their existence in the intuitive sense, we can peel them off in the abstract sense."

"Like I said at the beginning, math doesn't lie."

After all, Lu Zhou faced the whiteboard again and wrote a Chinese character on it——

【Boat】

That's his name.

and a big acronym—

【Z】

"The boat particle, this is what I named it."

Looking back at the silent report hall, seeing that there was no objection as expected, Lu Zhou smiled and continued in a clear voice.

"For the convenience of writing, I will mark it as 'Z'."

"Next, I will use the data in your hands to prove its existence."

"I will write as detailed as possible, but even so, I can't guarantee that everyone can understand it."

"So, remember to look carefully."
