Professor Felix swore.
This was definitely the most wonderful physics class he had ever heard in his life.
He hadn't experienced this kind of soul-shaking feeling for a long time, so when it came again, it was so strange to him.
Only a few fragmented fragments remained in that distant and blurry memory, allowing him to vaguely remember that it was probably when his professor told him that there was nothing left to teach him, and that he could only rely on himself to explore his future path. That feeling left him.
But now, he once again felt the shock from the depths of his soul.
Even though it was from a man many years younger than him …
"Unbelievable …" Professor Felix stared at Lu Zhou with an incredulous gaze. He opened and closed his dry mouth silently.
Looking at the shocked expression on his face, Lu Zhou, who guessed what he was thinking, smiled and joked.
"Looks like you found out something."
It took half a minute to digest the shock in his heart. Professor Felix looked at Lu Zhou, stood up from his chair, and lowered his head with a serious expression.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lu Zhou said with a pleasant expression, "I'm glad to be able to inspire your research."
Professor Felix was obviously not the only one who was shocked.
There was also the crowd around him.
At this moment, there was only one thought in the minds of the onlookers, which was Lu Zhou!
Even though the physicists standing here were quite reserved, they were impressed by the calculations on the whiteboard, so they couldn't help but applaud.
The most excited ones were the interns.
Most of them had only been at the ILHCRC for a few months, and they hadn't seen much of the world. This was the first time they had encountered such a nutty thing.
"F * ck, God Lu is nutty!"
"It's more than nutty … The origin of neutrino mass is one of the most cutting-edge research directions in physics! It's the most difficult one! Our professor told us that if anyone can make even a little bit of achievement in this area, they can brag about it for a lifetime! "
"This time, Professor Felix should be convinced."
"Be reasonable. If someone taught me like this, I wouldn't be convinced. I'd even kneel down and call him master!"
"Get lost, how can you take advantage of others like this?"
Bathed in thunderous applause and cheers, Lu Zhou returned to his seat and sat down. He smiled and reached out to pick up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip.
Feeling the sweetness and bitterness spreading along his taste buds, he nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad.
It was still warm.
…
That night, Professor Felix flew back to Boston. Although Lu Zhou asked him to stay after the Century of Physics conference, he finally declined Lu Zhou's invitation after some hesitation.
Now his head was filled with inspiration for the study of the origin of neutrino mass.
In particular, Lu Zhou's idea of combining the leptogenesis mechanism to modify the seesaw mechanism was like opening a door in his mind.
Now he just didn't want to do anything, and he wasn't in the mood to participate in any academic conferences. He just wanted to return to his laboratory as soon as possible and return to research work before the inspiration dissipated.
At the same time, just as Professor Felix was on the flight back to North America, what happened in the coffee shop spread like wildfire among the physicists who were fond of gossiping.
Some people said that the physics professor from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came from Boston to ask Lu Zhou about the origin of neutrino mass.
Some people said that Professor Felix got on a plane to Shanghai out of anger because his paper was rejected. As a result, when he confronted Lu Zhou face-to-face, he was taught a lesson by Lu Zhou.
There were also some more bizarre rumors, such as Lu Zhou proving the origin of neutrino mass on the spot in the coffee shop, but because the whiteboard was too small, he only wrote half of it.
In short, various versions of the story were spread by word of mouth, becoming more and more outrageous. Later, it even spread to several well-known physics forums, causing a lot of discussion.
But no matter how these rumors spread, one thing was unchangeable.
That was the content written on the whiteboard.
Although Lu Zhou did not prove the origin of neutrino mass, he falsified a research idea that was generally favored by scholars engaged in this field.
If the tev energy standard seesaw model did indeed destroy the unitarity of the lepton flavor mixing matrix, then the seesaw mechanism in the study of the origin of neutrino mass could be put on the back burner. Thousands of ongoing studies might have to change their research thinking because of this sad news.
What was shocking was not the significance of this research.
It was Lu Zhou, who completed all of this in less than half an hour …
Almost everyone who heard about this initially looked as if they had seen a ghost. Other than the word "awesome", there was only one thought left in their minds.
This guy …
Is he even human?
The next night.
ILHCRC cafeteria.
Luo Wenxuan took the tray and walked straight to the corner of the cafeteria. He placed the tray in front of Lu Zhou and sat down on the seat across from him.
"This is insane!"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you know? Yesterday afternoon at the coffee shop! Proved the origin of neutrino mass! Now the entire ILHCRC … Oh no, the entire physics community is talking about this matter! "
Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan, who was full of excitement and admiration, and coughed.
"I didn't prove the origin of neutrino mass, that thing can't be calculated with a pen … I just falsified one of the research ideas about the seesaw mechanism from the perspective of mathematical physics."
"That's still insane, okay! Do you know what Professor Witten said about you? "
"… What did he say?"
"There are at least three equations on the entire whiteboard, enough for him to spend the whole day. No one has ever been able to write such an exquisite and impeccable calculation process. It's like the whole proof process was not thought of, but it was like he was born with it. "
Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan and felt a little embarrassed.
"That's because he's being humble. In fact, this is not a very difficult problem. With his mathematical skills, it shouldn't be difficult for him to answer this question."
"Humble? No, don't get me wrong. Among the physicists I know, there are more than a handful of people who are good at bragging, but there are more than a handful of humble people. No matter who the remaining fingers belong to, it's definitely not Witten … Oh yeah, do you know what they're saying about you now? "
Lu Zhou: "Them?"
"The ILHCRC interns!" Luo Wenxuan winked at Lu Zhou and said, "Professor Lu solved a world-class physics problem with a cup of coffee. In theory, as long as we provide him with enough coffee, there will be no more secrets in the world of physics."
Lu Zhou: "…"
"Seriously, when did you start researching the origin of neutrino mass? How come I've never heard you talk about it? "
"Because I just started researching it."
Luo Wenxuan looked at Lu Zhou, who was sitting across from him. He opened his mouth and suddenly sighed.
"Oh, okay, okay, forget about it if you don't want to tell me."
Lu Zhou: "…?"
