Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 443 In the Face of the Universe, The Glory of the Human Mind Is So Small
While the Nobel Prize for Chemistry jury was still arguing hard about whether the Ark should be awarded, the impact of the paper published on RPX on the physics community was also continuing to ferment.
Over the past few days, the Ark has received numerous calls and emails.
Among them are Professors Frank Wilzek and Klaus von Cletzen, who are close to him, and other academics in the field of physics, who expressed surprise at his work.
There are other colleagues he doesn't know, but wants to talk to him about the turbulence.
In addition to this, there are a number of invitations from academic conferences.
For example, at the forthcoming IAEA-Demo International Seminar, to be held in November, the organizers invited him to a one-hour report on the study of plasma turbulence.
If it were normal, the ark might come.
After all, there are many excellent reports in the field of controlled nuclear fusion. If he wants to complete the first DEMO demonstration reactor by 2025, it is impossible to make full use of international academic resources...
But these days, he's been a little "out of state”.
Upon receiving the assignment, the Ark did not immediately start by selecting a seemingly viable item from the list, but gave itself a week's leave.
Either take a walk on campus every day or take his adventurer for a ride.
In fact, although New Jersey is small, there are still plenty of attractions to visit.
Sussex County's high-altitude state park, for example, is just in time for the Golden Autumn Festival, with wildfires and a 220-foot white monument that climbs to the top and even overlooks the land of the tri-state.
After so long in North America, the Ark suddenly found itself ignoring a lot of fun around it. The only regret, however, was that he was the only one on the fall trip, and only one piece of picnic utensils and food was brought with him.
Unless, counting, he's been with Em all along.
In fact, both in Highland State Park and on the Princeton campus, the ark was not completely idle during the time it touched the fish, but had been thinking about a problem.
If, for the “system”, Earth's civilization… or the so-called unexplainable problems of human academia are all in fact contained in the database, the most efficient local method is undoubtedly to tell him directly about these technologies, not to make him repeat his research.
Instead of doing so, however, the system guides him to think about these unsolved mysteries through this auxiliary way of strengthening the brain, following good and seductive guidance, and so on.
While enjoying the process, getting off the ark with the help of the system does feel that all aspects of their abilities have been boosted rapidly, not only have their peers been left behind along the way, but many have even accomplished achievements that they will not be able to accomplish in their lifetime.
But the most confusing thing about him was the motive for the system to do it.
The question, in fact, he had thought about it a long time ago.
Is there an alien civilization somewhere in the universe that enjoys enlightening lower civilizations? Or does the system actually come from the future?
There are too many possibilities, even more difficult to generalize than chaotic systems in physics.
However, the Ark felt that, whatever the motive, probability could not be the boring question of principle that "the problems of mankind must be solved by mankind itself”.
This system from a corner of the universe must have a deeper purpose.
Suddenly, the ark gave rise to a strange idea.
If Zhou's guess related to the distribution of Mason numbers is just a matter of example, then the twin count guesses Goldbach's guess afterwards… or even the millennium dilemma of whether the NS equation exists or not, whether it is smooth or not, are actually just “assignments” or "research topics” systematically arranged for him.
As for points, show him the answers, or give him a chance to retake the exam.
In that case, when all disciplines are upgraded to level 10, the unlocked future era is when the system issues him a "diploma” or a "letter of admission” for higher degrees?
If you think about it, he's not a professor at all. In fact, he doesn't graduate at all...
Especially in the description of the task chain, he saw the system's description of controllable nuclear fusion with the phrase “heating in swaddling” …
Sitting on a bench next to Lake Carnegie, the ark stared at the shimmering waters of the lake in the sunset and looked at it in a moment. The lake had inspired him a lot, but it was the only question he could not answer from the lake's water.
“Are these questions not ‘problems' to you at all? ”
Though this is not the first time such a feeling has arisen.
But at this moment, for the first time in the heart of the Ark, the glory of the human mind is so small in front of the universe...
At this point, a familiar voice came from the side, pulling back his dissipating thoughts.
“What are you looking at? ”
When I heard the sound, I looked over the side of the ark and saw Molina standing there.
After a glimpse by the ark, Molina somehow suddenly had the feeling that the gaze had passed through her.
“What's the matter with you? ”
The ark shook its head.
“Nothing… just a problem I can't figure out. ”
“And questions you don't understand?” Molina's eyebrows picked, “I thought there was nothing in the world you didn't know. ”
Upon hearing this, the ark shook its head with a smile.
“I don't know what gave you this illusion, but there are so many questions I don't think I understand. ”
Morina is one of the many sports professors and students in Princeton who choose to jog along the trail by Lake Carnegie every evening.
Occasionally resting on a bench by the lake, the ark always happens to meet her running late.
The relationship between the two is not bad, in addition to academic exchanges, they are also ordinary friends in life.
In places like Princeton, there are very few peers other than his own who can communicate with him as a friend.
Staring at the divine ark on the lake for a while, Molina stood next to her and said, “You're becoming more and more like those people. ”
Ark: “What? ”
“The old men at the Institute of Higher Studies,” Molina continued in a whispering tone, "I wouldn't be surprised if the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies were to grant you the title of lifelong researcher one day. ”
Unlike lifelong professors at Princeton University, lifelong researchers at the Institute of Advanced Studies are themselves among the top honors in academia, apart from their positions. Lifelong researchers at the four university colleges, taken together, do not exceed 30.
Historically, a big man like Einstein, one of Princeton's lifelong researchers, has seen a high threshold.
Moreover, this glory of a lifetime nature would hardly consider young scholars if it were not for special circumstances…
When she heard this joke about Molina, the ark laughed embarrassingly: "Lifelong researcher? Can I take that as a good wish? ”
Molina burst out laughing, “Sure, but aren't I the old man when you think about it? ”
The Ark shook its head with a smile: "Don't say that. You should be older than me in terms of age. ”
Molina: …
I don't know why, the moment I heard this, she suddenly had the urge to throw the coffee jar in her hand and embarrass his face...
