Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The discovery of five-quark particles is exciting news for the entire theoretical physics community.

For Frank Wilzek, however, he has not been in such a good mood lately.

Of course, his good mood was not disrupted by the Hadron Collider, but by a six-year-old gambling appointment.

Six years ago, at a physics conference in Azores, he made a bet with a man named Garrett Reese.

Mr. Reese, who somehow got the invitation, stood up and messed up when he talked about the standard model, insisted that the supersymmetric particles didn't exist because you couldn't find them at all, and Mr. Frank was naturally determined to maintain theoretical physics and predicted that the Hadron Collider (LHC) would detect the supersymmetric particles within six years!

And then they made a bet in front of everyone.

The arbiter of the gambling was Max Tegomark, a professor at MIT, who presided over the meeting at the time.

And the bet, it's $1,000.

Now, six years later, after more than two years of rest, the LHC finally lifted its energy to 13TeV after the restart experiment on June 3. But even if five quarks of particles were found, no signs of supersymmetrical particles were found.

Although the standard model was tested correctly again, it didn't work, and he lost the bet.

As for the reasons, he overestimated the capabilities of CERN and was too optimistic about the performance of LHC after upgrading.

In fact, in physics, betting is not uncommon.

And for the betting Frank Wilzek himself, it's not his first bet.

In '05, he wagered with Jenny Conrad, a “beautiful scientist" at MIT, that the LHC would detect the Higgs particles, while the latter thought the LHC would not.

At the time, the bet was gold coin chocolate served at the Nobel Prize ceremony, and the end result was clear: Frank won the bet and won 10 gold coins.

It just didn't seem so lucky this time, he unfortunately lost the bet.

In fact, winning or losing is nothing. For these scholars, betting is at best an agent for the rest of the job.

But the problem is, the guy he bet on, Mr. Garrett Reese, is not a fuel-efficient light.

First of all, Mr. Reese is not a physicist at all, but a PhD graduate of the Department of Philosophy at the University of California, Los Angeles, and is now a bridge builder.

Secondly, the Department of Philosophy's biggest “achievement” is to construct the legendary unified theorem with the recently analyzed Li Qun E8 structure by mathematicians, and predict more than 20 particles...

Einstein's unfinished work has been a treasure pursued by theoretical physicists. Yet it is clear that this treasure is not only possessed by theoretical physicists, but also by countless folk who know nothing about physics.

Mr. Garrett Reese is probably the most cultured man in folk science, at least as tall as the fools in North America who stubbornly believe that the planet is square and that homemade rockets send themselves to the stratosphere.

And that's why he was proclaimed "King of Minke” by many...

Although his mathematical theory of philosophy, heard by mathematicians and physicists alike, in some places there was quite a market and even a book.

And that's why it's embarrassing for Vilzek to lose this bet.

A Nobel laureate in physics in Tangtang actually lost to the "King of Minke”.

Although he openly admitted on his personal Twitter that he had lost and fulfilled the $1,000 gentleman's agreement, it was clear that he was not as forthright as he had shown on social platforms.

It's not a $1,000 thing, but the guy named Reese is pretty lame, and he's been showing off to people online all day with it.

A lot of people have been flirting with him lately. He couldn't bear to slap himself. How could he have been so brainy when he was betting on this hot chicken?

What a disgrace!

Sitting in the office prepared for him by CERN, Mr. Frank was sipping coffee while browsing the latest paper on the arXiv website on five-quart particles.

At that point, his assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

“Mr. Frank, someone asked me to bring you something. ”

“What is it?” Mr. Frank replied casually.

“Looks like a paper.” The assistant replied.

Though he hasn't been in a good mood lately, he opens his mouth.

“Let me see. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

I picked up the paper printed from my assistant's hand, and Frank pulled it over and asked casually, “Is there a name on it? Who took it? ”

Assistant: “According to the man's introduction, he is an intern. ”

“Intern?” Frank frowned slightly, but instead of throwing the paper aside because of his identity, he kept looking at it with the same expression.

Ability to intern at CERN must be… at least not a folk school. In fact, a lot of people don't lack knowledge, it's just an opportunity, and if this paper is interesting, he doesn't mind pointing out the intern.

And that's why he's so friendly here.

It was just a casual look, but continued along with the paper, the original expressionless Frank gradually appeared with a hint of interest on his face.

When he saw a word in the paper, his expression suddenly suddenly became more serious.

Dropping the paper in hand, Frank looked at his assistant.

“How does this person contact you? ”

"He didn't leave a phone number, but he left an address at a hotel near the CERN building. If you want to see him, I can find him for you. ”

“Go help me find him. This paper is interesting.” Frank left the paper in the top left corner of the table.

Generally, the papers on this side are kind of interesting to him, at least they're worth his time.

As for the pile on the right, the final resting place is mostly the office shredder...

……

After handing over the paper to Mr. Frank's assistant, the Ark had thought it would take a few days to come to fruition, and I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

Just the next morning, Mr. Frank Wilzek's assistant came to the hotel and found him and took him to the R1 floor office.

And the first thing the old gentleman said after he met him was:

“What do you think that might be? ”

The ark did not hesitate to say: "Supersymmetrical particles! ”

It's actually very unlikely, and even he doesn't believe that it could be supersymmetrical particles, but he has to say that.

It's a gimmick, like pulling an investment.

However, it was clear that Mr. Frank was not so sloppy, laughing and shaking his head.

“It's not very realistic. ”

“But there's this possibility, maybe it's something else, but whatever it is, it's worth studying, isn't it?” The ark continues, "Want to bet? I'll give you a hundred bucks, bet there's something there. ”

Hearing the bet, the old man's eyebrow twitched violently and coughed dry and said: “Bet you don't have to. ”

The ark stunned slightly.

He knew it beforehand. What this old gentleman likes to do most is bet on other people. Why is he suddenly turning sex?

Paused for a moment, Frank continued.

“I'm a little interested in your findings, but I'm just a little bit. And whether I'm interested or not, CERN can't start LHC for an imperfect theory, and you haven't convinced me successfully. ”

“However, I can give you an opportunity to refine your theory before the end of the month, and then at the European Conference on Nuclear Research at the end of the month, I will recommend you to come up and do a report on your findings to the physicists who participated in the conference. If you can convince me with your theory then, I can consider helping you convince others. ”

Frank was staring into the canoe's eyes as he said that.

The Ark knows what this old man is waiting for.

Taking a deep breath, the ark responded with a positive look to the expectations of the elderly.

And he answered, there's only one word.

“Okay!”
