Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The most important number for the physics world in the year 2023 was the number “1.25”.

The research on particle physics had always stagnated when it came to the proof of the existence of high-dimensional space. According to the ADD phenomenological model’s explanation of gravity and other forces, the world we observed was only a part of the higher dimensions. The electrons, protons, photons, and other particles in the Standard Model could not enter the higher-dimension, only gravitational field lines could.

The discovery of the Z particle gave a new explanation for the theory based on the phenomenological model.

The world we saw was only a fragment of the higher-dimensional space, the electrons, protons, photons, and other particles in the Standard Model might only be 3D projections of other particles in the higher-dimensional space.

If this conclusion were true, it would be able to explain the prediction made by the physics community that “Newton’s inverse square law will deviate in the submillimeter range”. When two objects were separated by mere sub-millimeters, the gravitational relationship between them no longer accurately followed the inverse square law.

And this was only one of the many conclusions caused by the Z particle.

After the discovery of this superheavy high-dimensional particle, the entire physics community was taken into a whole new world. This was exactly what excited physicists.

It was like they had just discovered an undeveloped continent, which was filled with countless treasures…

This sensational event in the field of physics had even caught the attention of the general public.

Because of the “Easter egg” prediction made at the end of the seminar, even the public was shocked by Lu Zhou’s seminar.

Faster than light travel!

This had always been considered impossible.

Although the general public didn’t know how Lu Zhou was able to make such a bold prediction, the thought of the future possibilities made people feel excited.

They wondered what the universe light-years away could be like?

Many people began to think about this problem seriously.

So far, the debate about the 750 GeV characteristic peak had finally come to an end. The voices that once violently opposed ILHCRC’s experiments finally disappeared.

Lu Zhou spent two days summarizing the content of the seminar and turned it into a paper. This paper was published in the latest issue of the main issue Future journal issue.

The other two top journals “Science” and “Nature” also included this paper in their “highlights” section. Nobel Prize-level scholars in this area of research also reviewed the paper.

Generally speaking, only the most important research results received this level of attention.

The Z particle was undoubtedly the most important physics discovery of the decade; the physics community was about to get busy…

…

California Institute of Technology.

An old man with a gray beard was holding a journal issue in his hand and a pen in the other. He sat quietly at his desk, doing meticulous calculations on a piece of draft paper.

When he got to the third page of the journal, he had an astonished look on his face.

After a while, he finally spoke.

“… This is amazing.

“The way he applied mathematics to physics.

“… What a genius!”

His name was Barry Barish. He was the projector director of the LIGO program and a professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology.

The person standing near his bookshelf wasn’t a nobody either.

His name was Kip Thorne. He was currently a professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology. He was also one of the world’s top leaders in the field of astrophysics and general relativity. He was also a scientific consultant for the film “Interstellar”.

These two people, as well as Rainer Weiss, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on gravitational waves. They split the 9 million Swedish kronor prize among themselves.

Thorne looked at Barish and said, “Everyone knows he’s a genius, I’m more surprised that you actually understood his mathematical argument.”

“Although it’s a bit difficult, after reading it a few times, I have a rough understanding.” Barish took off his reading glasses and rubbed his sore eyes. He said, “I happened to have studied his unified theory of algebra and geometry, so I have a small amount of foundation.”

Thorne said, “You actually read that thing?”

“A lot of physics students at the California Institute of Technology are autodidacts. Us old folks have to learn to keep up with the times, or we will be surpassed by the young generation.” Barish continued with a smile, “Of course, I mainly research gravitational waves. Whenever we have any new progress in mathematical physics, someone can always apply it to particle physics.”

“Then what progress did you make?”

Barish coughed.

“All great discoveries take a long time… These things can’t be rushed.”

“You’re right, but sometimes they are, like in this case.” Thorne sighed and said, “The Brookhaven National Laboratory must be worried. They voluntarily withdrew from a large-scale scientific research project that has more than 50 research institutes participating. Now their name won’t be mentioned in the paper.”

Barry Barish smiled and said, “And mainly because their mouth was too big. If it were me, even if I wasn’t optimistic about the 750 GeV characteristic peak experiment, I wouldn’t withdraw instantly.”

Of course, he was speaking in hindsight.

Thorne: “What do you think they will do?”

“They will deal with the person in charge, and maybe try to deal with the damage? Lu Zhou and the ILHCRC’s reputations are at the peak. I’m sure even if Lu Zhou fires his board members, there will still be a large number of physicists that will follow him.”

Thorne couldn’t help but say, “… Can no one stop him?”

Barish gave him a strange look.

“Why would anyone stop him? Think about how many people who have never achieved something in their fields. If he’s discovering a new world of physics for us, why not let him continue?”

There were only two names in the history of physics that achieved as much as Lu Zhou.

Unless something went terribly wrong…

Otherwise, there was nothing that could stop him.

Lu Zhou was almost like a god in physics. If he believed there was the existence of a particle, the particle would be there.

“You’re right.” Thorne sighed and said, “Speaking of which, he has never won a Nobel Prize before, right? I remember…”

Barry Barish shook his head and said, “You’re wrong, he won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. I think it was regarding the electrochemistry interface structure.”

Thorne couldn’t help but say, “This guy is insane…”

Barish smiled and said, “I don’t disagree. A few months ago, he came up with the Grand Unified Theory of mathematics. Then, a few months later, he applied it to his hyperspace theory on the Zhou particle. If there was a Nobel Prize in Mathematics, I’m sure he would win it every year.”

Thorne: “I think his achievement is worth two physics Nobel Prizes… Not to mention the electrostrong interaction.”

When Barish heard this, he made eye contact with Thorne.

These two had been working side by side in research for years. They immediately understood what each other was thinking.

“I plan on voting for him.”

“Looks like we have the same idea.”

Even though winning two Nobel Prizes were unrealistic, winning one was almost certain.

This year happened to be an odd number year, which meant the Nobel Prize in Physics would be awarded to the particle physics field.

And the discovery of the Z particle was undoubtedly the most significant physics discovery of the year.

If this achievement wasn’t worthy of this honor, what was?

There was no doubt Lu Zhou would be awarded with this honor.
