Chapter 1328 Question of the Century!

The Centennial Physics Congress has officially begun.

As the door of the No. 1 conference hall was tightly closed, the thoughts of the physicists in the venue of the International Convention and Exhibition Center also followed the closed door and flew into the auditorium that was about to determine the direction of future physics.

Standing next to the poster display area in the exhibition hall on the first floor, looking at the large black screen hanging on the wall, Wei Hong suddenly spoke to Professor David Ke who was standing beside him.

"You think there will be those difficult problems selected."

Difficult by this question, after thinking for a while, Davik shook his head and said.

"I don't know... In my opinion, each of the 522 difficult problems that passed the primary selection is very important, at least it is difficult to find out which one is redundant. If I want to rank, I can only rank the few that I understand The front... After all, I haven't studied the others at all, and I don't have the right to speak."

As the completers of the Z particle gravitational wave equation, although the two are popular candidates for the next Nobel Prize, they have not really won the Nobel Prize after all.

If their qualifications were higher, there was hope that they could walk into the meeting room behind the wall, and at least get a chance to be an observer. But unfortunately, apart from the Z-particle gravitational wave equation, they haven't made any particularly great achievements, so they can only stand outside and wait quietly.

"I heard that the proceedings of the meeting will be broadcast live in the hall?" Professor Davik asked in a low voice, looking at the big black screen on the wall.

"It should be the announcement session in the afternoon..." Wei Hong thought for a while, and continued, "After all, there is nothing to live broadcast about voting."

"How can there be nothing to broadcast live? I bet that there is no one in the entire venue who is not thinking about this meeting."

"I don't deny it..." Shrugging his shoulders, Wei Hong said, "After all, I'm also curious about the situation inside."

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Although everyone expected to hear a little bit of news from inside in advance, it is a pity that the confidentiality of the meeting was done so well that no news was released in advance from inside.

In this way, until noon.

When the gate finally opened, the reporters surrounding the gate immediately rushed forward, but they were blocked by the venue staff who had been prepared, and covered the delegation and observer scholars in the conference hall to leave.

Walking to the front of the crowd, looking at those excited eyes, Luo Wenxuan coughed forcefully, and raised his voice to speak.

"Scholars with invitation letters are invited to move to the No. 2 conference hall."

"We will be there, holding the opening ceremony of the 'Century of Physics' physics summit!"

"And, announce the question of the hundred centuries!"

The atmosphere at the scene gradually heated up, and everyone looked at the door expectantly.

Under the guidance of the staff, the crowd was diverted to the door of the No. 2 conference hall.

With curiosity in their hearts, scholars with invitation letters in their hands began to enter and sit down.

Unlike the previous batch of scholars who attended the conference, most of the scholars who attended the opening ceremony were outstanding young scholars and young physicists who had made outstanding contributions in physics.

Most of them are over 30 years old and under 50 years old, just in the golden age of scientific research, and it is rare to see old people over 50 years old sitting here.

Wei Hong and Davik are also listed here, and as outstanding young physicists, they are placed in a fairly high position.

Walking to the podium in the conference hall, Lu Zhou, who was dressed in formal attire, cleared his throat, looked around at the expectant eyes of the audience, smiled slightly, and spoke in a steady voice.

"It's a pleasure to see you all here."

"We agree that the last era of physics is over, and standing at the crossroads of the old and the new, you represent the future of physics."

"Whether it's the people sitting down at the scene, the scholars standing in the exhibition hall watching the conference through the big screen, or the students watching the conference through the network broadcast."

"This meeting was meant for you from the start."

"What is dark matter, what is the energy that created our universe, and what is the ultimate fate of the universe... Even in the past 100 years, we have solved many problems that the ancients could not imagine, but the problems we face Still a lot."

"It is therefore our sincerest wish to future scholars that in the next hundred years we will be able to answer the questions that plague our civilization."

Having said that, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, turned his gaze to the crowded conference hall, and raised his volume.

"Here, on behalf of IMCRC, CERN... and other physics research institutions, I propose a century of questions, hoping that they can inspire our wisdom and guide our discipline to a more prosperous and greater direction. "

"The following is the announcement part. We have invited the compilers of the 100 century puzzles. They will replace us and unveil the curtain of this new era."

Putting down the speech in his hand, Lu Zhou picked up a small card from the table and said with a slight smile.

"As a throwing brick to attract jade, let me start it."

"The first question of the century question—"

"We all know that there are four fundamental forces in our universe - namely, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force and the gravitational force. In addition to the 'unified theory of weak electricity' and 'unified theory of strong electricity' Outside of the first three, we still know very little about the last."

"If anyone can equate the elusive gravitational force with any of the first three, our entire physics will enter a whole new dimension."

When Lu Zhou said this, the pairs of eyes in the conference hall were all surprised.

From this moment on, many people have already guessed what is the first question that Lu Zhou will announce.

It's just that they still can't believe it, it's really it...

As if confirming everyone's conjecture, Lu Zhou announced in a clear voice.

"That will be the greatest glory of the physics world and even human civilization. Since the time of Einstein until now, the perfect and ultimate theory that everyone has dreamed of—"

"That is, the Grand Unified Theory!"

"It's actually a grand unified theory?!"

The atmosphere in the conference hall boiled instantly.

Wei Hong, who blurted out these words, almost didn't stand up from his seat.

In fact, when he looked around, he found that he was relatively restrained.

Those unbelievable expressions were almost written on their faces, and many people not only stood up, but even made incredible voices.

Sitting next to Professor Wei Hong, Davek stared at the podium dumbfounded, and said in a daze, "I, I, it was beyond my expectation... I thought he would say something about the Z particle. Speaking of grand unified theory, is there really any hope of realizing it?"

"I don't know..." Wei Hong frowned and shook his head while clutching the armrest of the chair. "Thinking optimistically, maybe it's possible, but in my opinion, the hope is quite slim."

Unify the four basic forces!

Complete the Grand Unified Theory!

That was a long-cherished wish that Einstein never fulfilled in his life.

If it can be done, it must be more BT than Einstein's IQ.

Looking at the surprised venue, Lu Zhou only paused for a moment, then continued to speak.

And this opening didn't matter, it immediately pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a peak.

"For the first question of this century question, I am personally willing to donate 100 million yuan to the IMCRC prize management organization! It will be used to reward scholars who have made outstanding contributions in this field!"

"Whoever can successfully solve this problem will receive at least 100 million yuan in bonuses!"

The moment the news was announced——

The atmosphere in the entire hall exploded in an instant!
