Chapter 1322 The Conference That Determines the Future

Two thousand physics problems are more difficult than imagined.

Even with Lu Zhou's LV10 physics level, if he wants to go through all these problems and have a general grasp of the problems it describes, it will take a lot of time.

Of course, compared to Senior Brother Luo, his speed of scanning questions is relatively fast.

For two whole days, Lu Zhou stayed in the hotel suite and did not go out. Even the meals were delivered by the hotel waiter.

However, in these more than forty hours, he swept the 2,000 physics problems equivalent to 2,000 papers from beginning to end.

Lu Zhou is quite satisfied with his efficiency.

To say it's trivial is an exaggeration.

Probably mean.

Just when Lu Zhou had roughly scanned these two thousand physics problems, most of the top physics researchers in the world have already received the invitation letter from IMCRC.

Almost everyone has made it clear that they will participate in this conference that focuses the attention of the entire physics community, and the entire physics community has also fallen into a rather heated discussion about this physics conference called "Century of Physics".

Headed by the Physics Stack Exchange forum.

As one of the most well-known exchange platforms for physicists in the world, the PSE Forum has attracted many well-known experts in the field of physics and PhDs in physics from Ivy League schools in recent years.

Even several well-known Nobel Prize winners have their own accounts on the forum and update posts from time to time. As an informal outlet for physics opinions, the latest physics research results can be discussed in a more tolerant atmosphere.

However, in the recent period, people's enthusiasm for physics itself has obviously been occupied by the upcoming "Hundred Years of Physics" academic conference.

The topic of related discussions has almost occupied the entire page of the communication channel.

Especially for the one hundred physics problems that will be announced at the closed-door meeting, these physicists are very excited. Everyone hopes that their research direction can emerge at this conference and win the attention of the entire physics community. attention.

[Which problems do you think are most likely to be selected? 】

[This question is too difficult, there are a total of 2,000 problems! To select the most important ones, and the problems that are expected to be solved in this world, this means that you must have an understanding of at least two thousand branches of physics research, and even Academician Lu may not have the ability to do it! 】

[That’s not to worry about, I heard that eight major physics research institutions around the world have sent delegations to participate in the voting of the 100 difficult problems at this century-old physics conference. From peer review to final voting, there must be at least one round of primaries, two rounds of meetings, and final voting! The authority is still quite large! 】

[Hyperspace theory and void theory will definitely have a place, and the recent disappearance of supernova remnants and the exploration of alien galaxies, these two major categories of astrophysics are also popular, as well as the quantum state of cold atoms in optical superlattices, Mayo Research on the non-Abelian statistical properties of Lana fermions is also very promising, and there may be too many fields that are favored...]

[This is simply a large-scale talent show. The selected topics will become the most popular research directions in the next century, and the lucky ones who are engaged in these directions will get the most abundant scientific research resources! 】

This sentence speaks the voice of most physicists.

Apart from the funds raised by IMCRC for these 100 difficult problems, as well as the bonuses and honors that will be awarded at the conference, major physics research institutions around the world are bound to refer to the conclusions drawn at this "100-year physics" conference, Give more resources to those scientific research directions that are more valuable and worthy of research.

Everyone hopes that the direction they choose will become the lucky one who stands out.

Because this not only means that my academic work will be recognized by the highest academic hall in the physics field, but also means that the road to scientific research from now on will be smooth sailing!

Interestingly, not only physicists are paying attention to this upcoming event, but even mathematicians have joined in the discussion enthusiastically.

on the mathoverflow forum.

Although the relevant topic has not been reprinted, it has also sparked a lot of heat.

However, compared to the physicists on the PSE forum, physics is not the major of these mathematicians after all, so the angle of the topic is mostly concentrated on some gossip that has nothing to do with academics.

[Awesome! IMCRC is planning to learn Hilbert's twenty-three questions and the millennium problem in our mathematics world! 】

[Which questions do you think Professor Lu will choose as the 100-year-old physics open problem? 】

[It's hard to say, but if I were him, I would definitely set the awards in the two directions of void theory and hyperspace theory! In this way, for at least a hundred years in the future, the two research directions of void theory and hyperspace theory will have an unshakable position in the physics world! And his school will thus rule the physics world for the next hundred years. 】

[Vision problem, you think of others too superficially. What's more, even if people have this plan, they don't need to be so troublesome. Even without this century-old physics conference, do you think hyperspace theory will not be able to rule the physics world for the next century? 】

【Heh, who would refuse to get more? People are selfish! Just wait and see. 】

Whether it is a scholar in the physics field or a scholar outside the physics field, almost no one doubts that Lu Zhou's opinion will have an impact on this century-old physics conference.

Although IMCRC has invited eight major physics research institutions and more than a dozen physics research teams to participate in the selection of one hundred physics problems, judging from the performance of the previous physics experiments, their The sum of opinions may not be worth Lu Zhou's words.

Regardless of whether Lu Zhou realizes this or not, his authority and discourse power in physics have indeed reached a height that no one can match.

Since most people are curious about what choice he will make, the Physics Stack Exchange forum even opened a voting thread for these two thousand physics problems.

Each person can choose up to one hundred difficult problems as the most important physics problems in his mind, and thus select the one hundred physics problems that are most expected by the academic community.

When he saw the long list of rankings and the ten propositions occupying the top ten on the browser's webpage, Lu Zhou's face was full of surprise.

No matter which one of these ten physics puzzles is, it is directly or indirectly related to at least one of the three elements of "hyperspace theory", "void theory" and Z particle.

Although he is very happy that his colleagues are so optimistic about his research work, Lu Zhou's own views are a bit different from those who eat melons.

The hyperspace theory is nothing more than that. Although it is not suitable as the focus of research in this century, the broad prospects behind it are worthy of contemporary physicists to study and dig deeper.

However the void theory...

The importance is important, but no matter how you look at this thing, Lu Zhou does not think that research in this direction can produce more outstanding research results in this century.

Compared with the theory of relativity, a theoretical physics theory with practical significance, its positioning and significance are more like string theory.

When human civilization's understanding of physics goes deep into the world of extra dimensions, the problems linked to it will not be a problem.

Before that, no matter how much research is done, it is difficult to make more substantive progress.

"...In any case, this matter is finally settled."

After closing the browser, Lu Zhou leaned on the chair and stretched comfortably.

Because of the tight schedule, he hasn't had a good rest in the past two days, and now he can finally take a while.

Marked the problem he was looking forward to in the notebook, and after closing the notebook, Lu Zhou stood up from the chair, took out his mobile phone and called Senior Brother Luo.

"Call other delegations and have a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon to discuss."

Hearing this sentence, Luo Wenxuan was shocked.

"Those two thousand problems... have you read them all?"

"It's been a while," Lu Zhou said lightly, and continued, "It's useless for me to think about this kind of thing alone. We need to have a meeting to discuss it first."
