Chapter 1590 Dawn Beyond the Speed of Light

Jinling University.

Two mathematics students who came to the library for self-study are sitting quietly in a corner of the library.

Among them, the one wearing glasses is gesturing with his index finger in the air to catch fish on the holographic screen, while the other is lying on the table, thinking hard about the few lines of formulas on the holographic screen.

Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Zhang Tao took the time to glance at the holographic screen on his roommate's desk, and immediately showed an expression as if he had discovered a new world.

"Yo, Lao Xu, why are you still studying physics?"

As if he didn't want to be discovered what he was doing, Xu Teli gave his roommate a sideways glance, coughed dryly and said.

"No, it's just interesting to look at this equation. It doesn't seem to be difficult, so let's try to understand it."

"And then? Have you figured it out?"

Seeing his roommate approaching enthusiastically, Xu Teli couldn't stop him, so he had to admit his failure in annoyance.

"Crap, what the hell is something that even Academician Lu can't solve... Is it strange that I can't solve it?"

He admitted that he did have unrealistic ideas at first. For example, after all, Academician Lu came from a century ago. Maybe the problems that this old man found difficult are actually easy to solve in this era?

And if he can solve this problem that even troubled his ancestors, not only the professors of the series will look at him with admiration, but he may also be favored by the Lu Zhou Mathematics Award, the holy grail of mathematics.

After all, that was what Lu Zhou himself said.

If anyone can solve this problem, he will personally award that person the honor of the Lu Zhou Mathematics Award.

Of course, now he has completely given up on this plan.

No matter how you look at it, the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle is already in the simplest form, and there is no room for further simplification. As for whether there is room for further improvement in the physical sense, that is beyond the scope of his professional field.

Hearing these words, Sun Tao, who was wearing square-rimmed glasses, was startled, and said in a groan.

"It's awesome, you can, you boy, you have already started to challenge the public proposition issued by Academician Lu."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and touched his buddy's forehead, but he was slapped away with a slap.

"Go away, don't taunt me so much, don't talk to me within 5 minutes."

Looking at the depressed roommate, Sun Tao made a helpless expression on his face, and swiped his index finger in the air twice.

"Actually, you don't need to be so depressed. This is not just academician Lu, but almost the entire mathematics world is trying it, including that Professor Sun Jingwen... I don't know if you have followed the LSPM forum, some people who often give pointers After the research, the boss has made a conclusion that it is impossible to further simplify this equation. There are also several physicists who believe that unless there are a large number of high-energy experiments to provide new data, the gravitational wave equation is basically That's the most accurate expression."

Hearing these words, Xu Teli finally felt a little relieved, but soon felt a burst of blush because of his previous unrealistic idea.

"...What a waste of time."

Originally, he thought that this atypical high-dimensional topology problem was somewhat similar to Poincaré's theorem in structure, but now it seemed that it was not as simple as he thought.

After muttering something softly, he dragged the entire draft into the recycle bin, and clicked the delete button.

Just like treating black history, in the playful eyes of his friends, he completely abandoned this unsuccessful attempt...

...

As Sun Tao said, in the entire LSPM forum, there are eight hundred experts who discuss the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle.

And those math lovers and melon-eaters who just came to join in the fun also joined the discussion with one after another.

What interests them is not those complicated academic issues, but the gossip hidden behind this academic issue.

for example……

As the general consultant of the space elevator project, why did Lu Zhou become interested in the gravitational wave equation of Z particles at this special moment?

Compared with the perfunctory explanation of improvisation, most people are more willing to believe that this Academician Lu must have discovered something extraordinary when he was researching issues in the space field.

Even in his opinion, the importance of this thing even overwhelms the space elevator!

If that's the case, it's somewhat intriguing.

The biggest physical characteristic of the Z particle is that it can interfere with the gravitational force when it oscillates, thereby affecting the curvature of space-time.

And precisely because of this special physical property, as early as a century ago, this particle, which seemed to float from the void, was firmly bound together by physicists with the concept of superluminal speed.

Compared with the neutrinos that have been disappointing again and again, the Z particle has obviously more potential for this.

If Lu Zhou really discovered something on the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle, and found a way to stabilize the hyperspace channel, the impact on human civilization may be stronger than the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion...

After all, mastering the mystery of the speed of light means mastering the key to a more distant world.

Even if it is not possible to go to a more distant world for the time being, even if warp speed travel is still a bit far away, even if it is just sending a few photons—or a piece of information into a hyperspace channel, the impact on human civilization will be huge.

It is precisely because of this that not only Jinling University, but almost all universities and scientific research institutions involved in theoretical physics research have cast their attention on this proposition.

As a large scientific research institution second only to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Pan Asia Academy of Sciences is naturally one of them.

After learning that this public proposition was raised to such a high status by Lu Zhou, the two professors Hao Zeyu and Lu Wenmao immediately put down their work and devoted themselves to the research of this proposition.

Unlike those joking students, the two are not only serious professors of theoretical physics and mathematical physics, but also top-notch scholars in their fields of study.

The two have not only won multiple physics awards in the international field, but also because of their outstanding contributions in the field of hyperspace, they are regarded as one of the most competitive candidates for the Lu Zhou Physics Award.

Holding a cup of hot tea, he walked to the side of Professor Lu Wenmao. After Hao Zeyu pulled his chair and sat down, he said in a chatty tone.

"I just went to the LSPM forum for a while."

The index finger on the holographic screen paused slightly, and Professor Lu Wenmao cast him a questioning look.

"Any new discoveries?"

Professor Hao Zeyu smiled and said: "If you are asking about academic discoveries, there is no one yet, but I think it is quite interesting to read the gossip discussed by netizens."

"When did you start to be interested in those boring things?"

"Boring? I don't think so," Professor Hao Zeyu moistened his throat after taking a sip of the hot tea, and continued, "The stable and oscillating Z particles can make the space bend stably. As early as a century ago, Lu Zhou This was proved through mathematical methods, and in 2043, under the guidance of Professor Luo Wenxuan, IMCRC successfully proved this through experiments...

"...It is now 2126, and three and a half weeks have passed since the launch of the space elevator project. At this special point in time, Academician Lu, who is the general consultant of the space elevator project, suddenly turned his attention from the synchronous orbit to the Z particle. Don't you think there might be something strange about it?"

Listening to his colleague's analysis, Professor Lu Wenmao couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

After hearing this...

There seems to be something.

"Give your opinion?"

"It's just a guess," Professor Hao Zeyu said after thinking, "Based on my understanding of the Z particle, he probably didn't study things related to space elevators during this period, but was researching warp drive or something similar, and he has almost It's going to be a success."

A light flashed in his eyes, and Professor Lu Wenmao blurted out: "However, he still lacks the most critical key?"

"That's right," Professor Hao Zeyu nodded with a smile, "This key is the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle!"

As he spoke, he put his right hand on Professor Lu Wenmao's shoulder, and continued with a bright smile on his face.

"So do you understand, my friend, that we are engaged in a great enterprise, even greater than a space elevator, and which only we theorists can do!"

"If our Z particle wave equation promotes the birth of the warp drive, we will become the founders of the future era!"

"And—the greatest physicist of this century!"
