Chapter 1151 Our Physics Is Far More than the Standard Model
At the same time as the voice fell, Lu Zhou had already turned to face the whiteboard behind him, and the marker pen in his hand also moved accordingly.
With the sound of rustling strokes on the whiteboard, lines of calculation formulas flowed out along the knife-sharpened pen, as if carrying a mysterious magic power, catching everyone's sight.
【V1=(1/2)(mu+md)ΨΨ+(1/2)(mu-md)(uu-dd)】
【Mπ2=(1/2)(mu+md)<0|ΨΨ|0>/Fπ2】
【…】
The tip of the pen moved back half an inch. Looking at the three- and five-element calculations on the whiteboard, a smile gradually appeared in Lu Zhou's eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction.
good.
It feels very good, as if one foot has stepped into the mysterious void, infinitely close to the edge of truth.
Although it is suspected of boasting to say so, it is indeed his most real feeling at this moment.
It took ten seconds to recollect this feeling, and Lu Zhou took a deep breath, his eyes were once again focused. And the pen held by his fingertips moved again with his thought that seemed to connect to the universe...
Regarding this elementary particle hidden in the hyperspace, the real difficulty in extracting it from the snail shell of the high-dimensional world lies in the abstract calculation of the high-dimensional space.
However, in physics, any calculation involving such problems will become quite complicated.
At the same time, the related calculations also involve a very complex specification-level problem, and a bunch of 10^38 Gev-level things need to be used to assemble a 10^2 to 10^3 GeV-level result.
Whether it is a logical operation or a numerical operation, this question quite tests the mathematical skills of a physicist.
Fortunately, Lu Zhou was originally a mathematician.
The "Grand Unified Theory of Mathematics" also brought him great help on this issue. It can even be said that the difficulty of this problem has been directly reduced by one dimension.
Many abstract things cannot be represented by concrete graphics at all, but if they are described in an intuitive mathematical form, whether it is calculation or writing on the blackboard, everything will be much simpler.
Of course, this may be convenient for Lu Zhou, but for the vast majority of physicists who are not engaged in research in mathematics, especially those who do not understand the "Grand Unified Theory of Mathematics", a mathematical tool that has just come out not long ago , these steps may not seem so intuitive...
Even, some are difficult for others.
Sitting next to Professor Witten, Professor Frank Wilczek's eyes were fixed on the whiteboard, and he was completely stunned.
Although he is not ignorant of everything, to be honest, mathematics has never been his strong point, and among the students he leads, there are very few who can do this part of the work very well.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to cooperate with Lu Zhou, who was just an intern, to study the 750Gev project.
I endured it for a while without speaking.
Finally, as if he couldn't hold back any longer, he spoke to Wei Teng who was sitting next to him.
"What is he writing?"
Wei Teng, who didn't answer the old friend's question, stared at the whiteboard, his eyes were also full of solemn colors.
Although compared with others, he has achieved Fields Medal-level achievements in the field of topology and partial differential research, and it is slightly easier for him to accept these theories, but the so-called easy is only relatively In terms of.
Maybe at a younger age it's a little bit better. But now, just keeping up with Lu Zhou's rhythm has already consumed almost all of his concentration. Even if he wants to answer Professor Frank Wilczek's confusion, he has no time to spare.
In a blink of an eye, a whiteboard was filled with writing.
Taking advantage of the gap when the staff dragged a new whiteboard from the side, Witten finally took the time to answer the confusion in the heart of the old friend next to him.
"...Simply speaking, he used an abstract mathematical method to build an extra-dimensional model similar to ADD. The dimension of this model is n, which contains some strange properties...Let's call it 'Lu Boat Mechanism' Well. Through the experimental data obtained by the high-energy collider, he tested this model containing extra dimensions, and then answered why the 750Gev signal is so weird, and the characteristic peaks appear frequently but the confidence level has been insufficient question."
This explanation was confusing, Frank Wilczek said with a tingly scalp.
"How do I understand these things?"
Wei Teng showed a helpless expression on his face, and said in an uncertain tone: "Maybe you have to use reference books on algebraic geometry and papers on the principle of the grand unification of mathematics... Maybe you can understand it, but I suggest you give up, now It must be too late."
"...God, when did math start to look like this?"
Looking at Frank Wilczek who was about to go crazy, Witten sighed and said.
"If you mean algebraic geometry, I'm afraid it's been like that since the middle of the last century."
A brand new whiteboard was dragged onto the stage.
After spending about half a minute sorting out his next thoughts, Lu Zhou picked up a pen and continued to write on the blackboard.
Like a mantra being chanted, the lines of obscure formulas printed on the whiteboard were also printed in the eyes of the audience in the lecture hall. It was as if they had been petrified, and the audience fell silent. There was no sound.
But at this moment, Lu Zhou on the stage has completely entered a state of ecstasy, completely immersed in his own world, as if he has merged with nature, and even the rhythm of his breathing is synchronized with the rhythm of the universe.
In the huge lecture hall, apart from the rustling sound of brush strokes, not a single sound could be heard.
In this way, time passed by every minute and every second.
The audience in the audience also watched quietly.
In fact, although these steps may be too difficult to understand for most people, there are still some people who can feel the mystery.
From difficult learning to sudden enlightenment.
Suddenly, Edward Witten's pupils shrank slightly, and then a look of excitement flashed.
That ray of light was like a spark that ignited the forest, igniting in pairs of pupils of different colors. As the steps of the argument drew to a close, more and more people finally began to gradually understand the mystery written on the whiteboard.
Even if there is a bit of vague understanding in it.
But compared to the beginning, it has been much better.
Finally, the pen that wrote the last line was fixed on the whiteboard.
[Z=……]
Putting back the marker pen in his hand, Lu Zhou turned to face the silent lecture hall, and spoke in a clear and steady voice.
"I may have forgotten to say that the argument about the existence of the Z particle is over at the twenty-seventh line from the bottom. In fact, I am quite surprised to be able to write it here, because the content of the next twenty-seven lines , especially about the value of the Z particle, in fact, I plan to spend two weeks or a month slowly thinking about it."
Glancing sideways at the formula on the whiteboard, he turned to look at Lu Zhou at the venue, and suddenly smiled.
That smile was like a ray of breeze, blowing away the mist and the dark clouds that weighed on everyone's hearts. All the solemnity seemed to become clear at this moment.
Perhaps, a happy mood can really make the problem easier, just as a good appearance can make the mood happy.
After a pause, he continued.
"By dividing matter down to the 10^-10 meter level, we can get atoms. When we first named this word, we gave it the meaning of the elementary particles that make up matter. However, as physics continued to advance, we soon discovered that It can continue to be subdivided."
"Soon we got electrons, neutrons, protons, followed by quarks, leptons, the Higgs, and so on."
"Just imagine, what would the matter in our cognition be if it were divided infinitely?"
"I'm afraid no one can answer this question right away. We can prove the existence of n-dimensional space with the help of phenomenological models such as ADD, and M theory predicts n=11, but we don't know anything about what is in this space. We can Knowing that we only live in a three-dimensional world, and the high-dimensional 'strings' are curled up for us."
"Like the 'ball' that landed on the paper I mentioned originally, paper people would never understand what that infinitely small black dot was, if only by their eyes. Maybe that space above their heads It is full of such small balls, and it is these black dots falling on the paper that constitute them and even the world they see."
"The same goes for extending to three dimensions."
"Just like the light we see, the air we breathe, the water in the cup... divide them infinitely, and what we can finally see may be just such infinitely small black dots."
"Including the Z particle, I don't even dare to say that what I'm seeing at this moment is its whole picture, maybe what I revealed is only its projection on the X-1 dimension, and it actually has even bigger secrets hidden in hyperspace behind."
"Perhaps, this is the limitation of three-dimensional creatures."
"Perhaps only when our civilization is advanced enough, when our physics can fully analyze all the dimensions of the universe, when we can walk upright on eleven-dimensional 'strings'... then, we will be able to fully see that A small ball that broke into our world, and the whole picture of this universe."
Having said that, Lu Zhou smiled again.
"As the last easter egg of this report, here I will follow the example of other seniors and make a bold guess."
"Maybe one day in the future, when our civilization is advanced enough, the solar system can no longer accommodate our physical body and ambitions."
"Using the properties of hyperspace to realize interstellar voyages with a distance of light years may become our best choice for moving across star systems!"
No response.
Obviously, everyone is still immersed in the previous shock.
Feeling a little disappointed that he didn't get any applause, Lu Zhou was about to put the marker pen back on the stage, bowed his thanks, and left here.
However, at this moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the whiteboard.
"...almost forgot an important thing."
Smiling embarrassedly, Lu Zhou reached out to the last line on the whiteboard and filled in the number that has haunted countless people.
[Z(n)=0~1.25Tev, if and only when n=3, Z=750Gev. 】
"750Gev is the energy it expands in low-dimensional space. Not surprisingly, 1.25Tev is the upper bound of its theoretical mass, and 0 is the rest mass in three-dimensional space when it forms an atom."
"Take your time to verify it! The steps before the twenty-seventh line have already proved its existence, and the data from the Lunar Hadron Collider support this conclusion."
"As for the theoretical calculation of the Z particle's mass after the twenty-seventh line, one day we will create more advanced experimental equipment than the Lunar Hadron Collider, and one day you will be able to prove that I am right."
Throwing the marker pen on the tray of the whiteboard, looking around the silent venue, Lu Zhou put his hands on the podium and continued.
"In short, as you can see, this particle is much heavier than we thought."
"It's far more than the 750Gev we can see."
"And our physics is much more than the Standard Model we're familiar with."
"Thanks."
After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly, turned around and walked to the audience.
And almost at the moment when he turned around, applause like pouring rain fell behind him, almost blowing up the entire auditorium...
