Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“This is not a discussion at all! I haven't spoken once from beginning to end! ”

“Too much! ”

“Hasn't anyone persuaded him? ”

“It's useless, he can't hear me, I've stressed many times that CERN has been working on a 750Gev feature peak and studying it for a whole year… at least half a year! But what did we get out of it? God, now he's gonna take this road again! ”

“At least CNN is right, he is a scientifically paranoid lunatic...”

The meeting was clearly dispersed in dislike.

A group of people walked out of the conference room without expression or even anger, and walked without concealing the volume of the conversation.

Noting the expression of outrage on the face of Professor Whittle, a member of the Permanent Council of the United States of America to the IMCRC and director of the Brookhaven Society of Sciences, he waited for Professor Frank Wilzek, next to the elevator, to rush up and stop him from asking.

“What's going on in there? Didn't the meeting just start an hour ago? How did it end so quickly? ”

“The meeting? Did he even look at the council a little bit? This doesn't deserve to be called a meeting! ”

Waving his fist out loud, Professor Whittle said angrily, "I'm going back to New York to show the people of the Brookhaven Society of Sciences who fantasize about the hearts and minds of the Chinese, how the Chinese are showing their pathetic authority in this sacred physics conference so easily! ”

Frank Wilzek stood staring at Professor Whittle as his anger swept away.

Intuition tells him that something terrible must have happened an hour ago, otherwise it would never have made Professor Whittle so angry... although I don't think this guy has any good temper either.

But he's getting more and more confused about what happened at the meeting...

Has the council been overrun?

Not at all?

……

According to Murphy's theorem, the more people worry about something, the more things tend to happen.

Through an old friend of CERN, Professor Frank Wilzek eventually understood the cause of the incident. And it was precisely because of these unfortunate things that brought him to the bottom of the valley.

In his impression, the Ark was not the kind of recalcitrant, authoritarian scholar, and he was even more willing to believe that it was Professor Whittle and CERN's representatives who misunderstood what he meant.

Yet the truth does not lie.

What exactly made him look like this?

Frank Wilzek, who couldn't figure it out, found Witten and borrowed his coffee to get him out of Rio.

In his chat, he spoke of the Council meeting that had just come to an end and sighed.

“Things are terrible. ”

As if he had expected to bring the topic to the IMCRC, Witten's face did not show much unexpected expression, but lifted her eyebrows slightly.

“Oh?”

Frank Wilzek shook his head with pessimism after sipping a cup of coffee and repeating his earlier conversation with Professor Whittle at noon to Witten.

“My biggest concern is that what happened was not a cooperative attitude from the outset, and I acknowledge that his academic prestige in completing the unified theory of strong electricity may have surpassed most people… even me, but this should not be a reason for him to mess around. ”

After listening to Frank Wilzek, Witten pondered for a long time and suddenly laughed and said, “Maybe he did find something in the 750GEV that we didn't. ”

“Impossible, my old friend, you know better than anyone how difficult this is, why would you say something like that?” Wierzek shook his head, "Besides, I worked with him on this project for a while before, and initially I believed he could do it, and even tried to get LHC's lab permissions for him, until I realized it was useless, so I broke up with him. I know better than anyone but him that this path is impossible! ”

“Why do you think he insisted on doing this," Weiten asked. ”

Frank Wilzek: "Angry with the shame of failure? Overinflated self-confidence? Or stubborn? Or are you anxious to demonstrate your authority in physics? For whatever reason, it would be undesirable to study with such a mindset. ”

Witten shook her head with a smile.

“This kind of thought arises, and you don't seem to understand him at all. ”

If it is someone else, this speculation is valid.

But for a scholar who craves the truth from the heart, this idea is too shallow.

Studied abroad for many years, Witten has met many people.

Some of them are famous and fragrant, and some of them the ark is undoubtedly the most special… and the most surprising to Witt.

He will not be completely discredited, he will be angry if he is falsely accused, and he will be happy to receive a prize and honor, but whether it is honor or money, it is not what he really pursues. And what really drove him forward seemed to be just curiosity about nature, about the mysteries in the universe.

This is purely quite difficult and expensive and often only appears on great men.

I dare not say the whole physics world, but only the words of the scholars I have met...

Maybe he's the purest of them all.

“Oh?” Frank Wierzek's eyebrows picked and said slightly dissatisfied, “Witten, I know you have a good relationship with him, but this is a big deal and I want you to recognize the reality. Especially in a friend's shoes, you'd better persuade him if you can, instead of watching him go further and further down the wrong path. ”

“What is wrong? ”

The spoon stirred the coffee, Weitang laughed and continued slowly.

“And what's right? ”

“We know too little about this universe, even less than one percent of what we see, what we understand and explain. Strictly speaking, physics does not inherently have any notions of right or wrong, but only the distinction between complete and incomplete. Especially after the birth of quantum mechanics, we became more aware of this --”

Frank Wilzek: “It's a myth. Why are we wasting our time in a direction that proves to be a failure? CERN has invested hundreds of millions of dollars! And those things that can't be measured at all, and now we're going to spend another whole year trying to take this impossible road again! ”

“Because some people think it makes sense," Weiten continued calmly looking at Vilzek, "maybe because he found something new, maybe because CERN didn't understand his thesis correctly, even just because of his luminous instincts… I think that's enough to justify it. ”

“The search for a standard model is inherently a needle in a haystack, and physics goes far beyond a standard model, and in either direction we end up facing the same problem… why not believe him? At least he never let us down. ”

Vilzek: "…”

Does that mean that everyone listens to God?

This is too optimistic.

“I know what you're worried about," said Witten, smiling at the silent Velzek. "Don't worry, if it's still nothing, I'll try to convince him to be aware of his problems in a timely manner... if I can. ”

“For now, let us trust his judgment. ”
