Chapter 790 The Lively World of Physics
Just when the entire physics community is focusing on the verification of the coupling constant data of the CRHPC ring super particle collider and strong electric symmetry breaking.
On the internationally renowned physics forum PhysicsForums, a new post quickly attracted the attention of many people.
"There may be huge errors in the verification work of coupling constants for strong electric symmetry breaking!" 》
A post quickly attracted everyone's attention on the PhysicsForums forum.
CERN's acceptance report was officially accepted only two days ago, and there were voices of doubt on the forum today.
There is no doubt that almost all scholars who are discussing the unified theory of strong electricity and the development of physics have clicked on the post directly.
"The latest news is that the verification work of the coupling constant of strong electric symmetry breaking completed by Professor Fox Hare of the School of Physics at Stanford University is very likely to have problems."
"According to reliable information, the person who raised this question was the famous Professor Xu Chuan."
The post was not long, but it caused a huge stir on the forum.
【WTF? 】
[Is there a problem in the verification of coupling constants for strong electric symmetry breaking? This is impossible, right? Hasn’t it already passed CERN’s acceptance work? 】
[The question pointed out by Professor Xu Chuan? I've been paying attention to his updates recently, but there seems to be no news about him? 】
[What about specific questions? Even for Professor Xu, there should be specific issues when asking questions, right? 】
【Grapevine? 】
[Shouldn’t it? The acceptance of the coupling constant for strong electric symmetry breaking was jointly verified by CERN and countless top physicists. If there is a problem, it is impossible not to discover it during the acceptance. 】
[But for the unified theory of strong electricity, I am afraid no one is more familiar with it than Professor Xu. If he clearly points out the problem, there is a high probability that there really is a problem. 】
[However, this message did not clearly indicate where the problem was. It just stated that the person who asked the question may be Professor Xu Chuan. I feel that it is more like using Professor Xu’s name to attract viewers. 】
[Just wait, if there is a real problem, with Professor Xu Chuan’s academic reputation, I believe he will definitely point it out. 】
【.】
On the PhysicsForums physics forum, many people were attracted to the post by the title, but were quite disappointed with the content of the post.
In the eyes of most physicists, this piece of news that spread out from nowhere is more like a rumor.
After all, this is data that has been jointly accepted by CERN's acceptance team and many theoretical physics circles. If there are really problems, the acceptance will definitely not pass.
Unless there really is an extremely subtle problem that no one has noticed and only Professor Xu has noticed.
But the possibility of this happening is really too low.
During the discussion in the PhysicsForums physics forum, on the other side, in the headquarters building of CRHPC.
"By the way, is there really a problem in the verification of coupling constants for strong electric symmetry breaking?"
In the office, Lin Feng, who came from the other side to deliver the documents, put the documents in his hands on the table and asked curiously.
Xu Chuan looked up at him and asked, "Where did you get the news?"
"PhysicsForums, the discussion there is going crazy." Lin Feng replied with a shrug.
"Did people at CERN spread the news?" Xu Chuan asked with a smile.
Regarding the acceptance report on coupling constants for strong electric symmetry breaking, he has only communicated with Edward Witten so far, and no one else at CRHPC knows yet.
After all, for something like this that currently has no definite evidence, it is impossible for him to publicize it to the outside world based on his character.
Especially with his current reputation, if there is a problem with the acceptance report of the coupling constant that openly indicates that the strong electric symmetry is broken, who knows what kind of disturbance will be caused?
Maybe some people think that he can't afford to lose. It's obvious that CERN has completed the work, but he still wants to find something to do?
Some people may think that he is too arrogant. CERN and countless top physicists have verified the problem-free data, so you can find the problem?
So now this topic suddenly pops up in the International Physics Forum, and the only possibility is that it was revealed by internal staff of CERN.
This kind of thing is not unusual for CERN.
In the past, they had internal staff reveal work secrets online at will.
Lin Feng: "I don't know, but today the forum is basically talking about this. You haven't said it yet. Is there really a problem?"
Xu Chuan smiled and replied: "I don't know if there are any problems yet. The specific situation will have to wait for detailed experimental data and Professor Fox's complete analysis data and process."
"Only after I get these data can I give the answer."
Lin Feng asked: "How do you feel?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "For science, I feel that this kind of thing is extremely imprecise."
"But."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Based on my analysis and perception of the acceptance data and the Dalitz diagram, it is indeed more likely that there is a problem." After hearing this answer, Lin Feng's eyes widened. Zhong showed an interested look, and he quickly asked: "What's the problem, data fraud?"
Xu Chuan glanced at him and said angrily: "Don't go out and talk nonsense."
"No, no, don't worry, it won't happen. Don't you still believe in my character?" Lin Feng chuckled and came over, his face full of gossip.
"What are the problems with Professor Fox's data?"
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes at him, but still opened his mouth to explain briefly.
"Let me go, is it really possible that this is a fake?"
After listening to Xu Chuan's explanation, Lin Feng was amazed and surprised: "The School of Physics at Stanford University is very powerful, but it actually does such a thing?"
Xu Chuan shook his head and said: "It is also possible that Professor Fox's model is indeed excellent and has selected out all the characteristics and data that do not belong to the symmetry-breaking decay of strong electricity."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Do you believe this possibility?"
Xu Chuan said nothing and was noncommittal.
Indeed, for theoretical physics, this possibility is really too low.
Not to mention Stanford University, even he who personally created the mathematical tools to calculate high-energy particle channels and perfected the unified theory of strong electricity could not do this.
The clutter and other chaotic states caused by particle fragmentation and decay are almost impossible to completely eliminate with current detectors and analysis techniques.
Stanford University's characteristic data on the symmetry-breaking decay of strong electricity was drawn so perfectly.
It's hard not to let him think about it in this regard.
Of course, perhaps others have already had similar views.
But as he said, science needs to pay attention to evidence and logic.
From the current situation, Professor Fox's analysis data and Dalitz diagram perfectly match the characteristic data of strong electric symmetry breaking decay. It is difficult to find the problem, and it is reasonable to pass the acceptance.
After chatting for a while, the newly recruited assistant Shen Yi came out of the cubicle in the office and gave a quick report.
"Academician Xu, the meeting on the arrangements for future collision experiments of the CRHPC collider will begin in ten minutes."
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I'll be there right away."
"Okay."
"Let's go, Senior Brother Lin, it's time to go to the meeting."
Xu Chuan stood up with a smile, put the newspaper in his hand aside, straightened his clothes, and walked outside.
Although the CRHPC Ring Super Particle Collider is built solely by China, considering the task of attracting scholars from other countries, they naturally cannot monopolize all the arrangements for future collider experiments, and will always give some points to others.
Today's meeting will undoubtedly determine CRHPC's collision work specifications for at least the next six months.
CRHPC headquarters is on the third floor of the Qian District, in Conference Hall No. 1.
A working meeting on arrangements for the CRHPC collider collision experiment is about to begin.
Representatives appointed by physical societies from various countries have also come here at this moment.
Not only countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia, but also some countries in Europe, America, the Middle East and even Africa have arranged for representatives to attend this meeting.
Although in terms of scale, today's meeting is much smaller than yesterday's kick-off meeting, it has attracted more attention from all countries.
The reason is simple. As the second large-scale strong particle collider in the world, and its performance exceeds CERN's high-luminosity LH-LHC by more than one energy level, the collision experiment of the CRHPC collider has become the most powerful in physics today. core resources.
If nothing unexpected happens, CRHPC will not only be able to equal the LH-LHC, but will even gradually occupy a dominant position in the theoretical physics community in the future.
Not to mention other things, in terms of research alone, today's high-energy physics is many years ahead of experimental physics in terms of theory.
Theories about physics have already penetrated into black holes, dark matter, quarks, gravity, and even the more elusive world of strings.
However, the theory needs to be verified through experiments.
Not just China, everyone wants the Large Strong Particle Collider to verify their theories and push themselves to the throne of the temple of physics.
Especially for the physics community that has now seen hope beyond the standard model, whether it is sterile neutrinos, dark matter, dark energy, or other unknown particles and phenomena.
Each of these achievements is worthy of one or more Nobel Prizes.
Here, there will be at least a dozen Nobel Prizes, or even more, in the future.
Therefore, every country wants to fight for CRHPC's collision resources, even Europe and the United States. On the basis that CRHPC and CERN have already launched head-on competition, they have arranged for representatives to participate in this meeting.
PS: Second update, please vote for me.
Another note: I see that many readers are saying that the pace is slow, so I will try to speed it up later in this regard.
