Chapter 1294 Have You Ever Seen Him Joking?

The paper that Lu Zhou used to publish on Arxiv can be said to have caused a thousand waves with one stone.

The shock of Professor Ohanian can only be regarded as a microcosm of the chaos that is happening in the physics world at this moment.

Just as he hurriedly booked air tickets and hotels for tomorrow, and wrote a leave application to fly to Shanghai, almost the entire physics community was overwhelmed by this amazing paper.

"This is really surprising, I don't know how to describe the surprise in my heart at the moment!"

"As for the thesis itself, I think it is too early to give a yes or no answer. I think...at least it would be more appropriate to wait until after Professor Lu's report is over... This is also a respect for him .”

Professor Wilczek, who has always been keen on betting and never shy away from criticizing his peers, chose to remain silent this time rather conservatively.

Perhaps it was because he lost too badly to Lu Zhou at the beginning, or maybe it was because he missed the second Nobel Prize in his life. The uncertainty in this made him not sure whether he should express his opinion or not. up.

As a big cow in the field of theoretical physics today, Professor Edward Witten, who has won the Fields Medal, also expressed his surprise on his personal blog after reading the paper.

And, much like Professor Wilczek, he did not pass judgment on the correctness of the paper... even though many of his colleagues would have liked him to.

"A Z-particle moving from a higher dimension to a lower dimension opens up a channel between dimensions? Straightens the warped space-time? This sounds like science fiction...that is, we can use this method in the warped spacetime. Find a real straight path in the universe?"

"While I can't say for sure if he's right yet, I hope he is."

Although the papers posted by Lu Zhou are only preprints, everyone in the physics community now knows the habits of this boss.

If he is not foolproof, he will never speak casually.

And once he publicly expressed his opinion, even if he only posted the preprint on the Internet, it would go through countless repeated calculations, and he would only release the preprint when he was absolutely sure of the conclusion.

In addition to the two veterans in the field of contemporary theoretical physics, Duncan Haldane, the 2016 Nobel Prize winner in physics and professor at Princeton University, also expressed his views on the paper.

This boss is a bit different from the previous two.

As a master who theoretically discovered topological phase transition and topological phase matter, he is one of the few physicists who can achieve the ultimate in mathematical research.

Especially for topology and algebraic geometry.

Therefore, for the paper published by Lu Zhou titled "The Influence of the Z Particle Transition Effect on the Curvature of Space-Time", he also quite fit his own design, and gave an evaluation from a mathematical point of view.

"...the mathematical demonstration part of the thesis has a certain degree of difficulty, and frankly, it is not a small difficulty even for me."

"If you don't know anything about algebra and geometric unified theory, and you have obstacles in spatial imagination, I advise you to give up reading it for the time being, because it will burn all your brain cells, and you may not be able to understand it later." What a gain."

This sentence is very euphemistic, but the meaning is very clear.

If you are not very proficient in mathematics, it is better not to consider reading this paper.

However, although the words are so said, it is obvious that not everyone can clearly recognize the reality.

Just when almost the entire theoretical physics community was losing their hair crazily for this paper, many big cows in the mathematics field also cast their curious eyes on it.

After all, it is Professor Lu's thesis.

After winning the Fields Medal and the Gauss Medal, this big guy completed the world-shocking unified theory of algebraic geometry, and has since faded out of the field of mathematics. He has not published new research results for a while.

Although the paper published this time is not a mathematical achievement, the mathematical theory it uses is the most cutting-edge research in today's mathematics field.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Apart from the most essential part of physics, the mathematical demonstration part of this paper, especially the application of differential manifolds and the explanation of the unified theory of algebraic geometry, can be said to be a textbook. Level classic!

It is precisely because of this that many mathematicians have also studied this paper.

In this way, the influence of this paper quickly spread from the physics world to the entire university circle, and then radiated along the university circle to the public's vision.

Although most people don't know what the Z particle is, and most people don't care about its high-dimensional form and low-dimensional expansion on human beings, but there is one thing that has attracted everyone's attention.

This thing may become the key to warp speed navigation!

This easy-to-understand explanation not only made everyone understand what the Z particle is in an instant, but also shocked everyone.

on twitter.

The topic about the Z particle was directly placed at the top of the search ranking.

This term was originally understood only by professionals in the field of high-energy physics, but now almost anyone who can surf the Internet can understand what this thing is.

[Warp speed? Does this mean that it will take less than a day to go to the moon in the future? 】

【God... this is too scary! 】

[It was a wrong decision to join the IMCRC project of Huaguo people. Now physicists all over the world are working for them. Soon they will master the mystery of warp speed navigation and completely leave us behind! Just like they already did with the moon landing project! 】

[This must be the darkest moment in human history... Do you still remember the IMCRC research some time ago? That void theory! Maybe the channel they opened is not going to any other planet at all, but going to hell...]

[Wait, have you ever suspected that this might be fake news? That guy named Lu Zhou just published a paper, you guys are afraid of being like this! Maybe he was just joking with us. 】

[The question is, have you ever seen him joking? 】

This sentence almost ended all skeptical voices.

Yes.

The guy wasn't one iota entertaining in science, barely cracking jokes.

And not once!

If it is other physicists, they may have to argue about whether a physics institute is short of funds again and sent a Nobel laureate to cheat money.

But if it's Professor Lu...

This possibility does not seem to exist at all.

It's not even that, it's just a theoretical study that may become the key to warp speed navigation, and in the eyes of many people, it is no different from a warp speed engine in the true sense.

After all, the name Lu Zhou is too dazzling.

Not only are related topics hotly discussed on the Internet, this matter quickly attracted the attention of major media around the world.

And on the third day after the paper was uploaded, related news made the headlines of the Washington Post.

The title of this headline is exceptionally long.

Just like the shock and apprehension in people's hearts.
