The lecture hall was like a pot of boiling water, boiling in an instant.
People were surprised, and they looked at each other in disbelief. They didn't know what to do.
Because of the observation, the superposition state collapsed, which triggered a series of chain effects, causing the mass to move from the n + 1 dimension to below the n dimension.
Does this mean that "someone" is observing them from outside the box?
This sounded a little unimaginable …
It was scary.
It was as if an eye was watching their every move in a void that was even further away than the Andromeda Constellation and even closer than the Moon. It was like an invisible sieve, carefully sifting through the dust of the universe for intelligent civilizations.
And now, through this sieve, it had discovered their existence.
What did this mean?
No one knew.
Because of this, many people had a panicked expression on their faces.
At this moment, the calmest person was Fernando, who was sitting in the front seat.
Perhaps this was the fearlessness of ignorance. Compared to the physicists present, he didn't fully understand what Lu Zhou was saying. He only caught a few key words.
"Void?"
"Isn't this the void that the Pioneers talked about? In other words, the great spirit of the universe actually exists? "
Muttering to himself, the short man's eyes gradually lit up.
It was like he saw some kind of unrealistic hope …
On the other hand, in front of the lecture hall.
Lu Zhou didn't care about the chaos in the lecture hall. He used the marker in his hand and slowly wrote down his demonstration process on the whiteboard.
[… Mπ2 = (1/2) (mu + md) /FΠ2]
[ = ipμFπδ abe-ipx]
[…]
Professor Witten stared intently at the lines of calculations on the whiteboard. He was sitting in the audience, and his pupils contracted.
Just a few minutes ago, when he heard Lu Zhou's theory about the external chord and the observer outside the visual field, he had a look of disagreement on his face.
After seeing these calculations, the expression on his face gradually changed.
Perlmutter, who was sitting next to Professor Witten, had an uneasy expression on his face. He looked around and observed the expressions on the faces of other colleagues next to him. He coughed lightly and spoke.
"His calculation process seems a little hard to understand …"
In fact, 'difficult to understand' was just a euphemism.
From the fifth line of the second whiteboard onwards, Professor Perlmutter's expression didn't change.
Logically speaking, he studied astrophysics, so he had a good understanding of mathematics. Although this understanding was only in the sense of application and not in the sense of research, at least so far, he had not been in a situation where he was completely unable to understand.
But now, everything that was presented on the whiteboard had subverted all of his original concepts.
Not only did he not understand it, but he even began to wonder if these lines of calculations were still within the scope of mathematics, or if he had been completely left behind by this era.
"It's a bit difficult to understand." Professor Witten frowned and said in a deep voice, "This involves a lot of topology and algebraic geometry, especially the latest unified theory of algebraic geometry … I haven't studied mathematics for so many years, it's not easy for me to completely understand it."
"Even you can't understand it?" Perlmutter's eyes widened in surprise. He opened his mouth and said, "Then who else can prove whether what he wrote is right or wrong?"
Witten shook his head and cast his gaze on the back of the speaker, as well as the lines of calculations pouring out of the pen like a waterfall. He was silent for a while before speaking.
"I don't know.
"Anyway, let's watch him continue writing."
It was far easier to find faults in a theory than to prove it correct.
They could also ask other mathematicians for help.
To be honest, Witten wasn't worried that it would develop into the situation that Perlmutter was worried about.
Whether it was out of trust in Lu Zhou's character or out of trust in his academic strength, Professor Witten was convinced that Lu Zhou would not put something that had not been carefully examined in front of everyone.
On this point alone, Witten was at least 80% sure that the theory he described was probably the truth he had seen with his own eyes …
On the other side of the lecture hall.
Luo Wenxuan, the secretary-general of the ILHCRC, also had a surprised expression on his face.
Even though he was a mathematics researcher, the situation he was facing at the moment was not much better than other people.
The complex calculations made his scalp tingle. Even though he could not completely understand it, his slow analytical ability made it almost impossible for him to keep up with Lu Zhou's pace.
Often, when he understood what a line of calculations meant and what role it played in the entire demonstration process, the marker had already written dozens of lines on the whiteboard.
He couldn't help but wonder if this guy had given it any thought when he wrote these things down. Or did Lu Zhou already understand the entire process, and he could perfectly restore all the steps on the whiteboard with muscle memory alone?
If that was the case, then it was too scary.
Academician Lu Jianshen, who was sitting next to him, stared at the whiteboard and suddenly spoke emotionally.
"From today onward, the future of physics will be completely rewritten."
Luo Wenxuan was shocked when he heard these words. He looked at the old man in disbelief.
"You understand it?"
Academician Lu: "No, why?"
Luo Wenxuan said, "Then why do you say that?"
Academician Lu thought for a bit and smiled.
"This … is also a kind of scientific intuition."
Luo Wenxuan: "…"
Regardless of how wonderful the expressions on the faces of the audience were, Lu Zhou, who was standing on stage, trembled slightly with the pen in his hand. He had completely forgotten about the time and space he was in, as well as the pairs of eyes gathered behind him. All of his attention was completely focused on the problem in front of him.
According to the data collected by the ILHCRC in the 5.12 TeV to 5.17 TeV energy band, he was able to speculate that this "mass transfer" phenomenon would collapse violently when the collision energy reached the 7.17 TeV to 7.74 TeV energy level, and it would eventually disappear completely near the 8 TeV energy level.
If they couldn't understand where the mystery behind this mysterious phenomenon originated from, physics was likely to be locked in this place.
After all, building a collider was not an easy task.
If the entire physics field had lost its meaning in the higher energy zone, civilizations that fell into the trap would probably completely give up on this path unless they could detect the trap itself.
Just like the metaphor he made in the beginning, it was like a sieve, cruelly filtering the entire universe, eliminating the ants that could not pass the obstacle, and deterred the ants that were lucky enough to pass the obstacle, announcing its existence.
On second thought, it was most horrifying that, if the sieve also existed in the old universe, it was very likely that the civilization or individual who set it up was something entirely different from the Observer.
Also, its existence was probably not friendly …
After writing down the last operator, Lu Zhou put down the pen in his hand and looked back at the quiet lecture hall.
Most people didn't recover from the shock. Most of them stared at the whiteboard, trying to understand the mystery behind the lines of calculations.
Even though he didn't want to disturb the hundreds of people in the audience, he still needed to give a final conclusion to this report.
Lu Zhou cleared his throat and spoke in a clear voice.
"This proves that this is the end.
"We might be facing a situation that is more pessimistic than we thought.
"Regardless of whether this is good or not, let's go back to the original topic, which is whether the spirit of the universe exists or not.
"I can't prove it with current technical means, and I don't want to discuss it too much. Whether it is consciousness determinism or matter determinism, this question is best left to time to answer.
"I can even foresee that in the next few centuries, this will become a controversial topic."
Lu Zhou looked at the quiet venue and gently put down the marker in his hand. He spoke in a serious tone.
"However, from the standpoint of a physicist, I prefer that the debate on this issue stay in the field of philosophy. At least before we can use scientific methods to touch the 'great existence', putting aside the controversy is the best choice.
"As for the void, that is, the extra dimension outside of the n-dimension …"
Lu Zhou paused for a second and looked back at the whiteboard behind him. "As explained in my proof, this is almost the only explanation that can explain where the inflated mass comes from and where it flows. The mass does not disappear out of thin air. It just falls from the n + 1 string to the n that we can feel.
"As for whether the great consciousness dominates it or matter determines its objective existence, as I said earlier, this question is irrelevant to physics at this stage."
Whispers could be heard in the hall.
People exchanged looks of disbelief, hoping to get an answer from the expressions on the faces of other colleagues. However, even though the world's top minds were gathered here, there were only a few people who could understand the obscure proof process on the whiteboard.
The Q&A session began.
To Lu Zhou's surprise, no one raised their hand.
He began to reflect on whether the theory he had previously elaborated was too advanced or too far ahead. An unexpected person suddenly stood up.
"Your theory just proves that the Void Realm described by Professor Galette Miro really exists!"
With an unexpectedly excited expression on his face, Fernando looked directly at Lu Zhou, who was standing on the stage, and raised his voice as he spoke.
"It also proves that the great spirit of the universe is omnipresent and omnipotent."
Because of this sudden interruption, the atmosphere in the venue unexpectedly became a little more lively.
Hearing the bursts of laughter coming from behind him, Fernando's face turned red, and a trace of anger gradually appeared on his face.
If it weren't for the police officer next to him, he would never have restrained himself.
Lu Zhou looked at Fernando, who was full of anger but had nowhere to vent. Instead, he spoke patiently.
"I'm afraid you don't know this, but when Professor Galette Miro described the Void Realm, he used my theory of extra dimensions. Of course, he won't tell you. After all, these things are too difficult for you. "
"You!"
Fernando clenched his fists and was about to step forward, but before he could take half a step, he was pressed back by the person next to him.
As if he didn't see Fernando's anger, Lu Zhou continued to speak.
"Yes, I have indeed proved that the Void does exist. Moreover, it is everywhere, and it is also nowhere."
"But to say that it is omnipotent … You're thinking too much."
"I will prove this." Lu Zhou looked at the audience in the lecture hall. He gently stacked the stack of draft papers on the podium and continued in a calm and powerful voice, "The next experiment of the ILHCRC will use 10 TeV as the target energy level and use hydrogen ions to collide.
"I will prove it.
"Even if the Void Realm is staring at us, it is not omnipotent.
