Chapter 408 The theory of everything! I am the chosen one and the only one! Suddenly looking back, the truth is in the dim light!

Ramanujan, known as a mathematical genius, comes to visit.

During the conversation with the other party, Li Qiwei gradually had a terrible guess in his mind.

And now, when he saw the formula written by Ramanujan, he was completely shocked.

In his previous life, Li Qiwei was a Ph.D. in physics from Huaxia University of Science and Technology, majoring in theoretical physics.

The direction of his research is related to the four fundamental forces and string theory.

This is a direction that many people in the physics community are unwilling to touch.

Although once the results are achieved, it will definitely be earth-shattering news that will shock the world.

But the problem is also obvious, that is, it is too difficult, even harder than climbing to the sky.

Many people may be wasting time throughout their lives.

So most people prefer research related to materials.

Whether it is physics, chemistry, or even mechanics and electronics.

As long as you have something to do with the materials, you will be able to publish papers until you can't help but get funding.

This leads to the fact that in the scientific research community, materials can be mixed in no matter what direction.

But Li Qiwei did not follow the crowd. In his opinion, it was a pure waste of national resources and a waste of his own time.

The consequence of his pretentiousness was that he remained unknown during his Ph.D., and although his research results were sufficient for graduation, they were not distinctive.

Belong to an ordinary member of thousands of doctors.

It’s just that the name of HKUST is a bit bluffing.

But Li Qiwei never regretted it.

Because he has stood on the edge of the truth of this world.

Taking a peek from a distance, although he couldn't see the whole picture, he knew the truth was there.

For men majoring in science and engineering, science has an irresistible charm.

Physics represents the ultimate romance of the universe.

Strong interaction, weak interaction, electromagnetic force, gravity.

The four fundamental forces are the ultimate romance of physics.

The [Grand Unified Theory] that ordinary people often hear is related to these four forces.

But many people have misunderstandings about this term.

In real history, what Einstein wanted to unify in his later years was just electromagnetic force and gravity.

This is not a true grand unified theory.

The grand unified theory refers to the unification of these three forces: strong interaction, weak interaction, and electromagnetic force.

It does not include gravity, because gravity is too special.

At present, the physics community has successfully unified the weak interaction and electromagnetic force, which is the so-called [electroweak unification].

The work of Yang Zhenning and Yang Lao has perfected the mathematical framework for the grand unified theory.

From then on, the grand unified theory had the tools and possibilities to realize it.

But, be careful!

At present, the grand unified theory has not been truly completed, and there are still some problems.

Otherwise, Mr. Yang’s status would be simply unimaginable.

The grand unified theory contains three kinds of forces. What if gravity is also included and the four fundamental forces are unified?

This is the [Theory of Everything].

Once the theory of everything is broken through, humankind's understanding of the world will enter a completely new field.

Physicists can explain everything in the universe.

Because the universe is formed by the changing combination of four fundamental forces.

That is most likely the realm of the Creator.

The level of human civilization will also take a big step forward, and the solar system and even the Milky Way will no longer be bound.

Because once the theory is broken through, the rest is a matter of engineering implementation.

The various high technologies that ordinary people often hear are actually the results of the engineering field.

In the eyes of big guys, only theoretical breakthroughs are real high technologies.

Discovered the four fundamental forces, electroweak unity, grand unified theory, and theory of everything.

This is the core development route of theoretical physics since the twentieth century.

Relativity theory, quantum theory, etc. are important parts of these theories.

At present, string theory is the most likely theory to become the theory of everything.

But it also has many problems and is not favored by the mainstream physics circles.

In addition to string theory, there are several other theories that are pursuing the goal of becoming the theory of everything.

During his Ph.D., Li Qiwei even created a theoretical framework for the Theory of Everything.

Of course it is for self-entertainment, because it sounds a bit too exaggerated.

However, before he could publicize and brag about his theory, he was kicked by fate until 1900.

In this era, even the discovery of the four basic forces has not yet been completed.

Li Qiwei became the star guide in the field of physics.

In the past twenty years, returning to the top has made his state of mind rise several levels.

His strength has also undergone a radical change.

But he still has no confidence in the ultimate theory of everything.

It is like a curse, imprisoning human beings.

The smartest brains have been working on this for nearly a hundred years, and progress is still slow.

Many people are even desperate.

“Can humans really unify the four fundamental forces?”

But now, a miracle happened, and Li Qiwei actually saw hope.

The miracle is contained in the seven formulas written by Ramanujan.

These formulas are completely different from the mathematical formulas written by Ramanujan before.

Those mathematical formulas are at least composed of Arabic numerals invented by humans.

But the formula in front of him had symbols that Li Qiwei had never seen before.

He has never seen it even in his previous life.

But Li Qiwei felt an eerie sense of familiarity.

Because he is too familiar with the four basic forces.

At his level, his intuition for physics even surpasses his own calculation ability.

Maybe this is the feeling of different roads leading to the same destination.

Li Qiwei faintly sensed the flavor of a theory of everything from these formulas.

He watched it for more than ten minutes.

“No.”

“This doesn’t look like the framework of string theory.”

Suddenly, he was startled.

“Hiss!”

“This seems to have something to do with the theoretical framework of everything I created myself.”

“It’s really incredible.”
 “Is my theory correct?”

"God, are you kidding me?"

At this moment, Li Qiwei could no longer remain calm.

Could it be that after thousands of twists and turns, he, Li Qiwei, is the destined light of humanity?

By now, he could basically conclude that Ramanujan was not a human being.

To be precise, not a pure earthling.

But after all, the birth and growth of the other party are traceable.

So Li Qiwei didn't know what the other party's state was like and what kind of existence it was.

This universe is so vast and mysterious, and it’s normal to encounter things you don’t understand.

Physical formulas are different from mathematical formulas.

The formulas written by Ramanujan before were basically within the knowledge framework of people on earth.

Although it looks like Cthulhu, it uses Arabic numerals after all.

Top mathematics tycoons such as Euler and Gauss have also made similar efforts.

The famous Euler's formula will be shocking to anyone who sees it for the first time.

Now, these physical formulas related to the Theory of Everything are definitely not something that can be explained by talent.

It has surpassed the existing human knowledge system.

Even Li Qiwei, a time traveler, was shocked.

As long as Ramanujan was a human being, no matter how talented he was, he would never be able to write such a formula.

However, there is one very pity.

Li Qiwei slowly calmed down and finally said:

"Ramanujan, these formulas are indeed physical formulas."

"But it is a pity that they are only fragments, or partial contents, of a complete theory."

"It is not easy to string them together."

Li Qiwei did not lie. , these seven formulas are not a complete theory of everything.

Because the theoretical framework he created is very unimaginable.

The mathematical knowledge and physical ideas that need to be used are extremely vast.

He didn't have the ability to pull it off at the time.

These formulas are only some of the key contents.

But fortunately, he was able to find inspiration from these formulas and find the direction to move forward and work hard.

Although there are still countless problems, at least there is a glimmer of possibility.

Even though this trace may seem illusory, it is worth dedicating his life to it.

Suddenly, Li Qiwei looked at Ramanujan with his deep eyes and asked:

“Can you really only think of these 7 formulas?”

“Do you understand their meaning? ”

Ramanujan showed a wry smile.

"To be honest, Professor, my brain is still running wild, and they are indeed only parts."

"I don't understand their meaning. For physics, I may be at the level of a middle school student."

"But I have a hunch that if I write another formula, I may die on the spot."

"And I still have some things to do, so I hope you can understand me, Professor."

Li Qiwei nodded.

Ramanujan at this moment can even be described as a candle in the wind. I can't withstand any torture.

Moreover, Li Qiwei has his own pride.

He does not need others to deliver the complete results to his hands.

He has absolute confidence that he can complete the theory of everything.

After all, the formula written by Ramanujan was actually very close to his original theory.

These formulas were fragments, and Li Qiwei was not sorry, but very excited.

That was the unspeakable excitement after seeing the back of the truth.

"I still have a few decades, and I will definitely succeed!"

Now, there is only one last question left.

Who is Ramanujan, and are the formulas he wrote really correct?

Although in Li Qiwei's view, these formulas are very likely to be correct.

He finally asked out of curiosity.

"Ramanujan, are you an alien?"

Ramanujan was not surprised at all when he heard this.

He knew that after he wrote down those formulas, it would inevitably lead to such speculation.

He smiled and said:

"Professor, I have read your science fiction masterpiece "Insects" over and over dozens of times."

"Every time I see the universes you describe, I will feel a sense of intimacy with all the civilizations in the world.”

“Three Star Civilization, Divine Eye Civilization, and Dancer Civilization.”

“It seems that I am one of them.”

"But whenever I think about these things, my brain will feel severe pain and unbearable."

"So, I can't say, I am very conflicted."

"I was born in India, but I have an instinctive rejection of my body."

"I feel that it is not worthy of me."

"After communicating with you today, I feel like it. A sense of relief.”

"You are the only person in this world that I admire."

"In my flashing memories, even if there are alien civilizations, existences like you are absolutely rare."

"So, I have always respected you, and I am only willing to tell you my affairs."

At this moment, Ramanujan had no reservations.

He knew that his time was short, so he opened his heart in front of Li Qiwei.

Although he himself was not sure about his situation, in Li Qiwei's view, the answer was already obvious.

Ramanujan’s body may be that of an earthling, but his mind is definitely that of an alien from outer space.

And the civilization to which that thought belongs is probably already conquering the theory of everything, or even making a breakthrough.

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain the existence of those formulas.

But the truth no longer matters.

No matter what, this exchange will have a profound impact on Li Qiwei and the entire world.

Human civilization will even change as a result.

Li Qiwei sighed softly and said with emotion:

"Ramanujan, I really hope your body can become healthy."

"I still have many questions to think about. Discuss with you.”

Ramanujan smiled.

"Professor, although I don't know the use of those formulas."

"But I know that they are not mine, they just exist in my memory."
 “Just like today’s middle school students all know the law of gravity.”

“But there is an essential difference between Newton and middle school students.”

"In front of you, I am that middle school student."

Ramanujan's words made Li Qiwei not sure how to answer.

He continued to talk to himself:

"Although I am not used to my body, I love this place very much."

"So I want to do my best I can do something for the world while I am dying.”

"Professor, you are the smartest person on the planet."

"Your eyes and expression tell me that these formulas must be very important."

"Only you can crack the formulas The secret."

"I hope that one day, when you touch the truth, you can tell me in your heart."

"I will be grateful."

Li Qiwei nodded seriously when he heard this.

"Definitely."

Ramanujan suddenly said:

"By the way, professor, finally, I hope you can keep today's conversation confidential."

"Oh? Why?" Li Qiwei was puzzled.

Ramanujan smiled and said:

"You mentioned in "Bugs" that there are cold forest laws in the universe."

"What if I really have contact with an unknown alien civilization?" Some kind of connection."

"I'm worried that the formula I wrote will expose information and cause danger."

Li Qiwei suddenly realized that the other party was very thoughtful.

He joked:

“I believe that we humans will develop rapidly.”

“It’s still unclear who will beat whom.”

“Who knows? Manujin, for your sake, I will be merciful."

After saying that, the two laughed.

Then, Li Qiwei asked:

"Then what are your plans next."

Ramanujan showed a happy smile.

He stood up slowly, holding a handkerchief soaked red with blood in his hand.

“I am ready to return to my hometown and quietly wait for my destiny.”

"I have been living in a prison, and it's time to be freed."

"Goodbye, Professor Bruce."

"Being able to know you is the greatest luck in my life." 
After saying that, Ramanujan was ready to leave.

He declined Li Qiwei's move to see him off.

A person left silently.

Li Qiwei looked at Ramanujan’s back through the window and felt sad.

The other party has made up his mind, and any persuasion on his part is useless.

But soon, his eyes became determined, and his mood was no longer depressed, but his fighting spirit was high.

Ramanujan fulfilled his mission and long-cherished wish.

But Ridgway's mission had just begun.

This exchange made him completely different from before.

It seems like I am twenty years younger, full of vigor and energy.

“I am the chosen one and the only one.”

On countless nights, Li Qiwei would have nightmares in his mind.

It was like another evil personality, constantly bewitching, sarcastic, and belittling in his ears.

"Li Qiwei, Li Qiwei, what do you have to show off?"

"The knowledge you have belongs to the predecessors. You are just a thief. How dare you guide history shamelessly? Geniuses on the Internet."

"Just be your rich man, physics is not something you can get involved in."

"."

Such things almost shook Li Qiwei's Taoist heart.

Fortunately, he is thick-skinned and persists until now without being affected.

But deep down, he knew very well that his future had an upper limit.

This upper limit depends on the thickness of the textbook in the previous life.

Although he may not survive until that time, it has to be said to be a pity.

firmly imprisoning his future.

But now, the upper limit has been broken.

It can even be said that it was broken by his own hands.

Li Qiwei recalled the years when he was a doctoral student at China University of Science and Technology in his previous life.

In the bedroom, under the yellow light.

While listening to the song, he wrote various formulas on paper.

The content is the framework of the Theory of Everything.

“Brothers, I feel like I’m going to win the Nobel Prize.”

“I’m 50 now, and I’ll take you with me when I go to Stockholm to receive the prize.”
 “We will share the bonus equally when the time comes.”

The roommates smiled and said:

"Old Li, I believe you can win the Nobel Prize."

"But it must be the Ig Nobel Prize."

" Because your theory of everything contains ten thousand jokes."

A few people laughed, and the roommate continued:

"Now you v. me for 20, I can bring you some snail noodles right away."

Li Qiwei stood up angrily, discharged two big bills, and hugged his roommate's head.

“Damn, give it.”

“It needs to be spicy!”

“I’m very angry now!”

The atmosphere in the dormitory became more cheerful.

Li Qiwei smiled as he thought about these precious memories.

That was his most pure and beautiful time.

Looking back suddenly, the truth is in the dim light.
