Chapter 1152 The Secret of the Universe Has Never Been so Close

Edinburgh is not alone in the sudden torrential rain.

As if to celebrate the success of the 360,000 kilometers away, the sky over New York was also covered with clouds on this day, and it rained heavily before working hours.

The raindrops picked up two-inch-high splashes on the road. Stepping on the road filled with stagnant water, a man in a long trench coat passed the gate of Stony Brook University, walked through several streets, and came to Brooke. Haven National Laboratory.

Sitting in the office drinking coffee, Professor Whittle was turning his back to the desk, looking at the rain outside the window, lost in thought.

Since he came here early this morning, he felt as if he had forgotten something important, but no matter how he recalled it, he couldn't remember what it was.

He unconsciously took a sip of the coffee in his hand, at this moment, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, so he turned the office chair back and spoke.

"Please come in."

The door opened.

A burst of moist air blew into the room. Seeing the drenched man standing at the door, Professor Whittle almost spilled the coffee in his hand, and stood up from the chair in surprise.

"Professor Brovich, what's wrong with you?!"

The person standing in front of him is the president of the Brookhaven Science Society and the head of the Institute of Physics at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. In addition, he is also a professor of physics at Stony Brook University, an academician of the American Academy of Sciences, and a quasi-Nobel Prize scholar...but all of this is indifferent.

Professor Brovich glanced at his colleagues standing in front of him, thinking of the email from Professor Peter Higgs, a bitter expression appeared on his face.

His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he spoke.

"we lose."

"Lose... What did you lose? Come in and sit down first, and I'll find you a piece of clothing to change into."

Brovich said nothing about Professor Whittle's concern.

As if he was just here to announce the news, he shook his head slowly, then turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor.

Staring dumbfounded at the direction in which Professor Brovich left, Professor Whittle opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he didn't make a sound to stay. Just when he was wondering what happened in his heart full of unease, his heart suddenly accelerated a bit.

In an instant, he suddenly thought of it.

"...IMCRC report meeting! Damn it!"

He said that he seemed to have forgotten something important!

With a trace of panic in his eyes, he quickly ran back to the office and logged in to the official website of IMCRC through his email address and password.

really!

The IMCRC report meeting is today!

As expected, the video of the report meeting has been uploaded to the server synchronously.

When he clicked on the video and watched it for ten minutes, his pupils shrank suddenly.

What shocked him was not the content written on the blackboard on Lu Zhou's whiteboard. Anyway, he couldn't understand it at his level.

It was the dignified expressions on the faces of those physics masters sitting in the front row, and the applause from the audience when Professor Lu announced the IMCRC's major discovery called "boat particle"...

The heart fell to the bottom in an instant, and almost didn't bounce back.

At this moment, Professor Whittle only felt that his eyes went black for a while, and he felt like he was going to faint.

He didn't know what kind of mood it was.

But what is certain is that it must not be because of excitement.

In any case, what he was most worried about finally happened...

...

Coincidentally, at the Institute of Physics of Syracuse University, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Brookhaven National Laboratory, a female researcher who is close to her age is greeting someone's family warmly. He slammed the keyboard angrily, and the colleague next to him who was full of inexplicable faces was stunned and didn't dare to take a breath.

And all of this seems to be just a corner of the "chaos" caused by that report meeting.

After seeing the live video of the report meeting that was simultaneously uploaded to the IMCRC official website, almost all the scholars who followed the latest progress of this research showed surprise expressions on their faces, and even exclaimed in disbelief.

A particle with a weight as high as 1.25TeV!

A superheavy particle with a mass nearly ten times that of the Higgs boson!

Most importantly, this particle is outside the standard model!

If, as Lu Zhou said, the elementary particles that make up atoms correspond to the higher-dimensional parts of matter, then the source of mass and the study of gravity will provide extremely important evidence .

Compared with North America across the Pacific Ocean, and Europe across the Atlantic Ocean, the scene of IMCRC is obviously more chaotic.

People rushed to the front of the stage frantically, not only the reporters, but also those physicists who wanted to ask a lot of questions.

Some people hope to be able to get a little closer to the whiteboard to take a clear photo, some people want to follow in Lu Zhou's footsteps and ask in person, and some people... they don't know what they are doing.

Everyone is like crazy.

Resisting the crowded crowd and trying to move forward, the reporter with the microphone said to the camera aimed at him in a voice that was about to be squeezed out.

"...At ten o'clock in the morning on February 3, Beijing time, Professor Lu Zhou, a physicist from Huaguo, announced the latest discovery of the Lunar Hadron Collider in the high-energy physics experiment at the IMCRC report meeting, and will This superheavy particle, which is said to come from a high-dimensional world, is named 'boat particle' and its symbol is Z."

"A few days ago, according to Peter Higgs, an emeritus professor at the University of Edinburgh, who we connected to, the discovery of this particle will mark that high-energy physics experiments have great significance in revealing the full picture of the universe. The field of view has been expanded by a whole dimension."

"According to Professor Lu Zhou's prediction at the end of the report, the discovery of this particle may provide a theoretical basis for faster-than-light travel between star systems... The scene is very chaotic, we are trying to get close to Professor Lu, Xie Te, please Why don't you—"

"—BBC reporter reports for you."

It's impossible to get close.

Just looking through the lens is enough to see the chaos on the scene and how desperate the human wall is.

As for Lu Zhou, he had already stood on the elevator dedicated to the staff, took the special car parked in the garage, and left the scene of the IMCRC headquarters.

This is Wang Peng's suggestion.

Where there are many people, it is always difficult to avoid all kinds of accidents. In order to prevent further confusion, it is better to avoid crowded places as much as possible today.

Especially where this kind of physicists get together.

In any case, regardless of whether everyone is satisfied with this ending, today is destined to be a significant day for the entire physics community.

After a lapse of seven years, the exploration of 750Gev finally came to an end at this moment.

And the vision of human civilization has also expanded to a world that they have never understood, but has been following everyone around like a shadow.

The secrets of the universe have never been so close.

As for whether this particle can become the key to solving super-light cruise and communication problems as Lu Zhou predicted.

I'm afraid, only the future will know...
