Scholar's Advanced Technological System
chapter-1146

1146 Advanced Theory As the days passed by, Chinese physicists began to return to Shanghai, and the ILHCRC headquarters became lively again.

And the media outlets that claimed that the ILHCRC had been shut down, pretended like nothing had happened.

Everything was happening according to plans.

Even though scholars from the Brookhaven National Laboratory were probably not going to work here, they were only a small fraction of the people involved in the project. Even though there were people who were not optimistic about the 750 GeV project, which had been going on for a month, most of them did not want to give up their name spots on the final paper.

Normally speaking, the list of researcher names on a large-scale international scientific research project could be dozens of pages long.

However, it was still important to have on one’s scientific research resume. It was immensely helpful for working at other research institutes or universities in the future.

Inside an office.

Professor Witten saw Lu Zhou walk in. He took off his glasses and spoke with a smile.

“How was your holiday?”

Lu Zhou: “Quite fulfilling.”

Witten looked at the stack of papers in Lu Zhou’s hand and smiled.

“Looks like you didn’t rest for long.”

“We’re so close to an amazing discovery, it’s difficult to relax and take a break.”

Witten looked at how confident Lu Zhou was. He was a little surprised as he spoke.

“You’ve made progress?”

“Not just progress.” Lu Zhou smiled confidently and threw the papers in his hand on the table. He said, “Remember the pendulum theory I talked about a year ago? I used the Chinese New Year holidays to perfect it.”

Without saying anything, Witten quickly picked up the stack of documents on the desk and carefully examined them.

Lu Zhou, on the other hand, walked to the corner and made himself a cup of coffee. He then sat on the sofa and quietly waited.

This was all thanks to being inspired by the Void memory.

Even though Professor Lane did not directly tell him any theories related to the 750 GeV energy zone or even particle physics in general, most things did not have to be explicitly stated. Knowing its existence was already a huge inspiration.

For example, the concept of the hyperspace.

If a hyperspace existed, then Einstein’s wormhole theory was possible.

And using this logic, if the characteristic peak of the 750 GeV energy zone corresponded to a certain part of the elementary particles that existed in a hyperspace, it would explain the insufficient observation confidence level.

The mathematical theories Lu Zhou deduced previously were still applicable here.

Similar examples were common in physics. For example, when people tried to explain the gauge symmetry of the Grand Unification Theory, there were claims that supersymmetry provided a framework to describe the way fermions and bosons accommodated a four-dimensional hyperspace. This also explained the strange geometric properties of fermions in a four-dimensional Minkowski space.

However, the hyperspace theory was not proven.

However, if they really could find this particle, they might be able to prove the existence of the hyperspace!

Witten’s fingers were trembling; he had a powerful look in his eyes.

After ten minutes, he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and muttered.

“Interesting… Hyperspace theory?”

Lu Zhou took a sip of coffee and explained it.

“Strictly speaking, it’s a conjecture based on the hyperspace theory. For a large proposition like the hyperspace theory, it is too difficult to prove it with my own strength. We know too little about gravity… But maybe after this experiment is over, I might be able to prove it.”

He paused for a second and spoke.

“Of course, this depends on what we find from our experiment.”

“Unbelievable…” Witten said as he put down the paper. He looked up at Lu Zhou and said excitedly, “You know what? I’m looking forward to the future.”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, ” I feel the same way.”

He couldn’t wait to begin the second round of experiments.

This time, he would definitely find the ghost particle that had been hiding from him for the past seven years!

Witten: “Do you plan on publishing this paper?”

“Of course, good things should be shared with the public. I plan on putting a preprint on arXiv,” Lu Zhou said. “If the experiment results are satisfactory, I’ll attack the experiment results and submit it to the Future main journal issue.”

…

After more than a month of silence, the researchers at the ILHCRC had finally made some progress.

Lu Zhou’s paper on hyperspace theory and the 750 GeV characteristic peak was uploaded to arXiv’s website. It caused a huge sensation in the theoretical physics community.

People were surprised at Lu Zhou’s “advanced theory”, but they were also surprised at the time Lu Zhou chose to upload this paper.

Basically, there were supporters and opposers.

Some people mentioned that Lu Zhou might be overly optimistic about the hyperspace theory and that it was only a conjecture, while other people thought that this was a good idea and that it could explain the mass-energy loss in high energy particle physics experiments.

If those mass-energy fragments entered hyperspace or transformed into a higher-dimensional form, it would not be detectable by traditional methods.

In any case, this paper was regarded as an academic answer to the question of “why should we research the 750 GeV signal”.

If this conjecture was true, not only would it greatly improve the standard model, but it would also open the field of physics into research on the internal structure of elementary particles, allowing physics to dive into a more mysterious world, even more mysterious than the Higgs particle…

“Hyperspace theory?”

Professor Whittle was sitting in an office chair reading a paper in his hand. He had a look of contempt on his face as he spoke, “What a bunch of nonsense, the physics community is getting ridiculous.”

He had finished reading the paper.

He understood most of it.

However, he was not a fan of what he read.

The existence of hyperspace itself was a controversial topic in the physics world. The non-directional characteristic of time was one of the most basic observational facts in physics and even in all natural sciences. Even though the existence of the hyperspace did not contradict this fact, it would certainly challenge the properties of time.

“I think… his paper is quite interesting,” an old professor said. He had a beard on his face and a pair of glasses on his nose bridge. He said to Whittle, “If he really found a particle outside the Standard Model, it might become the greatest physics discovery of the decade. To be honest… We should not let go of this opportunity.”

Verifying the Standard Model was easy. Over the past few decades, the particle physics community had continuously proven Einstein’s conjectures.

However, finding a particle outside the Standard Model was extremely difficult.

The old professor’s remarks obviously provoked Professor Whittle.

He chuckled and spoke in a mocking manner.

“Greatest discovery of the decade? Forget about it.”

Even though Professor Whittle was still being stubborn on the outside, doubts began to occupy his mind on the inside.

The reason why he insisted that he was correct was that he wanted to save face.

Maybe face was not important…

However, he was too far down the line to retract his statements. He even persuaded the Brookhaven Science Associates to criticize the behavior of Lu Zhou.

If Lu Zhou actually accomplished something in the end, he would be instantly fired.

“He’s just dreaming…”

Professor Whittle repeatedly muttered these words to himself. He reached out and grabbed a glass of water on the table. He took a sip and moistened his throat. However, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The only thing he wanted was for ILHCRC to utterly fail. Hopefully, something would go wrong with the Lunar Hadron Collider.

He didn’t even notice that his attitude had totally changed.

He was in denial…
