Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 260 Gravitational Waves

Time passes quickly.

In late June, the college entrance exams finally came out.

The family surrounded themselves in front of the computer with Xiaotong's face.

This feels like a World Cup gambling draw.

Xiaotong looked nervously and turned to his brother beside him.

“Brother...”

The ark slapped her on the shoulder calmly: "Don't be afraid, you're not afraid to hand over the roll, you're afraid to send the roll. ”

“Hmm...”

Xiaotong hesitated and finally took a deep breath, entering the candidate number and the prospectus number.

The score soon appeared on the screen.

As soon as I saw the score, Little Tong was stuck there as if he had been petrified.

Not because it was below her expectations.

It's because…

620!

Happiness came so suddenly that Xiaotong was so excited to scream.

“Dude!!! I took the 620!!! ”

“Nice work, my sister. ”

Seeing this score, the ark nodded satisfactorily and was wholeheartedly pleased with his sister.

The 16-year literature line is 520, which is 100 points higher than the line. Though it's no better than getting rid of a line, it's also pretty strong.

Enrollment in Shui Mu Yan may not be enough, but Jinling University is still stable.

“Haha, that's my daughter,” shot Xiaotong's head, old Lu Haha laughed, satisfied, "I went out to buy a drink. ”

Fang Meibai glanced at him and counted: “In the middle of the afternoon, we drink. Can't we go to work in the afternoon? ”

Old Lu Le couldn't keep his mouth shut: “No, I took time off with the leader! I'm not working today! ”

Both children went to college, and at this moment, Lu only thinks he is the happiest person in the world. How can we lose a glass of white wine on this festive day?

The only regret was that the boy from the Ark had been hanging out for so long, even on foreigners' soil, and had not seen him bring back a daughter-in-law.

When will I be able to hold my grandson, Lu feels that there will probably be no regrets in my life!

All day long, the whole family is like a festival.

Even the next day, Lu had not yet enjoyed himself and offered to set up a table to celebrate the feast and entertain family and friends.

However, Xiaotong was afraid of trouble and didn't want to waste money. Lu had to do it.

At night, tomorrow's interview is scheduled, and the ark looks down on the couch and hits the king's sister, asking casually.

“Do you want to reward the profession? ”

Just after the pit, Xiaotong sprayed his teammates and dropped his phone, carefully considered the issue and said.

“Got it! ”

“The Ark"? ”

Xiaotong nodded and said firmly: "I intend to report to finance! ”

Finance in Jin Da Count is a combination of literature and science, and can be reported by literature and science. Although a certain mathematical foundation is needed, there is definitely not much to calculate without moving in the direction of theoretical research.

The most expensive thing is that Xiaotong finally has his own ideas, instead of asking for "brother" help when he encounters problems.

That, too, was most gratifying.

The ark nodded in praise: "Have an idea, why finance? ”

His eyes sparkled and Xiaotong did not hesitate to say: "The name of finance is like being rich! ”

Ark: “…”

I don't know.

Except it doesn't look like much.

The rest of the world is so nimma-like!

Ark: “In fact, alchemy is also quite rich. You hear the name metallurgy, how similar it is to alchemy. ”

Xiaotong's face was squeaky: “Huh? Really?”

Ark: “Lie to you. ”

Xiaotong: “…”

……

Some people are happy, naturally others are worried, college entrance exams are such a reality.

On the day of volunteering, the computer room at a high school in Jinling, already liberated classmates, gathered here again.

Previously, volunteers were said to be filled out on paper and then uniformly entered into computers by schools, although their high schools were now filled out by themselves.

Looking at the volunteer form on the computer screen, Han Mengqi clasped her lips and did not move her mouse for a long time.

Luckily, her two science departments succeeded in getting a double A, but scored a rubber ball against Kim Dae's admission scoreline.

To be precise, her score is enough, but whether she can report it or not, there aren't many people who read it this year.

Math...

The Department of Mathematics at Jinling University does not seem to be a strong major.

There shouldn't be many people in the previous annual reports...

After swallowing his mouth and spitting, Han Mengqi made up his mind and finally filled out the number of Jinling University and Applied Mathematics majors on the website.

As for the option of accepting the transfer, she didn't want to tick it, but hesitated and eventually ticked it.

“Be sure to report it...”

With her eyes closed, the little girl's hands clasped in her chest and prayed silently.

……

In the country until July, the boat's holidays are almost at an end.

Although he wanted to wait until Xiaotong's letter of admission came down, extending his leave was cumbersome and he had some business to go back to and stopped staying in the country.

On a flight to the east coast, after more than a dozen and twenty hours of running, the ark finally returned to the quiet town of Princeton.

For most American college students, summer vacations are still in progress and run from June to the end of August.

However, for master's students, the rules of the school are the rules of the school, and it is of course up to the boss to decide when to return to school.

In a sense, the power of American mentors is much greater in Libya, because mentors have the right to dismiss graduate students directly, whereas domestic mentors, even if they look upset at you at most, only card you graduate, because the right to dismiss students is in the hands of the school and is not generally used.

However, in relative terms, there are many checks and balances of power, although this is not mentioned yet.

Of course, an ark won't be the kind of bad mentor who squeezes students, but it won't make them any easier.

At his request, three master's students who received an offer from him would arrive at the school before 15 July to report. If it was a visa issue, he could grace the time until August, but it would be better not to drag it too long.

Before assigning them jobs, he needs to meet with them to learn about them.

The luggage was placed in the apartment and the ark went to the Institute of Advanced Studies.

Upstairs, I ran into Edward Witten. When the Ark had just greeted him, he greeted him with surprise.

“My friend, you're finally back. ”

"… what happened?" asked the boat in doubt. ”

Edward Witten smiled mysteriously and said only one word.

“Gravity waves. ”

After hearing the word, the Ark finally reacted and understood what Witten was talking about.

In fact, as early as February '16, researchers from the LIGO project team announced that they had successfully detected gravitational wave signals from two black holes combined using LIGO's two detectors.

And the paper, recently sent to ARXIV, is being reviewed by theoretical physicists around the world.

Although the Ark has been on vacation for the past month, he has not been completely out of touch with the dynamics of academia and is constantly following new articles on Arxiv.

Even though not every article on Arxiv is necessarily useful, the sudden surge in the number of articles in a given area is quite indicative of some problems.

Like last year's 750GeV, this year's hotspot in theoretical physics is gravitational waves.

The ark tone is somewhat envious: “What a surprising discovery. ”

Gravitational waves are undoubtedly much more shocking than his “insignificant” findings.

“Yeah, enviable.” Witten said with heartfelt emotion.

The successful discovery of gravitational waves filled the last missing "puzzle” in Einstein's extensive relativity experimental validation.

If Einstein were alive, with this great discovery, he would certainly have won another Nobel Prize in Physics for his general relativity.

After all, he was awarded the prize for successfully explaining the photoelectric effect, not for the obviously greater general relativity.

But this is clearly not possible, because 74 years later, the Nobel Prize Committee stipulated that the Nobel Prize would nominate only the living. Even occasional exceptions to particularly significant discoveries are unlikely to be made like those of the deceased.

Mr. Witten is probably the most emotional person about the feeling of gravitational waves.

Experimental physics took 100 years to find this puzzle of relativity, and following this trend, his string theory was afraid that he would never see the day that the experiment proved it.

Next year's Nobel Prize in Physics, with little suspension, must belong to Rainer Weiss of MIT, and his collaborators.

After all, the discovery of gravitational waves can be engraved on a milestone in the course of human history.

Stop the sentiment, Witten cleared her voice and continued: "With regard to gravitational waves, LIGO invited me to do data analysis for them, I guess you don't have a topic to work on right now, don't know if you're interested in joining my topic? If you're interested, I can get my students to help you book your flight now. ”

The Ark thought about it and eventually euphemistically rejected this very attractive proposal: “Gravitational waves are not within my study, unfortunately I cannot help, and I will probably be busy in a few days, and I will not be able to spare time. ”

The reward task of the system gave him a great deal of freedom, and given the level of efficiency, it was obviously best to upgrade materials at a lower level.

Moreover, the topics proposed by Professor Witten most likely do not relate to the core research content of gravitational waves, and the experience of mission rewards is closely related to academic value.

Don't look at the gravitational wave as a proposition big enough, but maybe even 10,000 won't be enough based on the academic value of the thesis in the end, which is a huge loss.

Witten: “The material subject? ”

The ark nodded: "Yes. ”

Witten sighed and said with regret, "Well, it looks like you have an arrangement. Good luck. ”
