Jin Ling University.
Two mathematics students who came to the library to study by themselves were sitting quietly in the corner of the library.
One of them, who was wearing glasses, was gesturing with his index finger in the air. The other was leaning on the table, thinking hard about a few lines of formulas on the holographic screen.
Zhang Tao pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He took a moment to glance at the holographic screen on his roommate's table. He suddenly showed an expression as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Yo, Old Xu, why are you studying physics?"
Xu Teli seemed to be reluctant to be discovered what he was doing. He glanced at his roommate and spoke with a dry cough.
"No, it's just that this equation is quite interesting. It doesn't seem very difficult, so I tried to solve it."
"And then? Did you solve it? "
Xu Teli saw that his roommate was coming over excitedly. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, he had to admit his failure angrily.
"F * ck, something that even Academician Lu can't solve … Is it strange that I can't solve it?"
He admitted that he did have unrealistic ideas at first. For example, after all, Academician Lu came from a century ago. The problems that the old man thought were difficult might actually be easy to solve in this era?
If he could solve this problem that even the old man was troubled by, not only would the series of professors look at him in a different light, but he might also win the Lu Zhou Mathematics Prize, the holy grail of mathematics.
After all, that was what Lu Zhou said himself.
If anyone could solve this problem, he would personally award that person the glory of the Lu Zhou Mathematics Prize.
Of course, he had completely given up on this plan.
No matter how he looked at it, the gravitational wave equation of this Z particle was already in its simplest form. There was no room for simplification at all. As for whether there was room for further improvement in the sense of physics, that was beyond the scope of his field of expertise.
When Sun Tao, who was wearing square-rimmed glasses, heard these words, he was shocked.
"Nutty, not bad, kid, you're challenging the public proposition issued by Academician Lu."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and touched his brother's forehead. However, his hand was slapped away by Jiang Chen.
"F * ck off, f * ck off. Don't f * cking taunt me. Don't talk to me for 5 minutes."
Looking at his depressed roommate, Sun Tao had a helpless expression on his face as he waved his index finger in the air.
"Actually, you don't have to be so depressed. It's not just Academician Lu, almost all the big names in the mathematics world are trying, including Professor Sun Jingwen … I don't know if you pay attention to the LSPM forum, but several big names who often give pointers have already concluded that this equation cannot be further simplified. There are also a few physicists who think that unless a large number of high-energy experiments provide new data, this gravitational wave equation is basically the most accurate expression. "
Hearing this, Xu Teli's heart was finally a little comforted. But very quickly, he felt embarrassed for his previous unrealistic thoughts.
"… What a waste of time."
Originally, he thought that this atypical high-dimensional topology problem was somewhat similar to the Poincaré theorem, but now it seemed that it was not as simple as he thought.
He dragged the entire draft into the recycle bin and clicked the delete button.
Just like dealing with a dark history, under the ridiculing gaze of his friend, he completely threw this unsuccessful attempt to the back of his mind …
…
Like Sun Tao said, on the entire LSPM forum, there were thousands of big names discussing the Z particle gravitational wave equation.
Those mathematics enthusiasts who just came to join in the fun also joined in the discussion.
What interested them was not the complex academic problems, but the gossip hidden behind this academic problem.
For example …
Why would Lu Zhou, the chief consultant of the space elevator project, be interested in the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle at this particular moment?
Compared to this perfunctory explanation, most people were more willing to believe that Academician Lu must have discovered something extraordinary when studying problems in the field of space.
In his opinion, the importance of this thing even surpassed the space elevator!
If this was the case, then it was a bit intriguing.
The greatest physical property of the Z particle was that it could interfere with gravity when it oscillated, thus affecting the curvature of spacetime.
It was precisely because of this special physical property that as early as a century ago, this particle that seemed to float from the void was firmly tied to the concept of faster than light speed by physicists.
Compared to neutrinos, which disappointed people again and again, the Z particle obviously had more potential.
If Lu Zhou really found something in the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle and found a way to stabilize the hyperspace channel, the impact on human civilization would probably be stronger than the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion …
After all, mastering the mystery of faster than light speed meant mastering the key to a more distant world.
Even if it was still impossible to go to a more distant world for the time being, even if things like warp navigation were still a bit far away, even if it was just sending a few photons or a piece of information into the hyperspace channel, the impact on human civilization would be huge.
Because of this, not only Jin Ling University, but almost all universities and scientific research institutions involved in theoretical physics research had paid attention to this proposition.
As a large scientific research institution second only to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences was naturally one of them.
After learning that this public proposition had been elevated to such a high status by Lu Zhou, the two professors, Hao Zeyu and Lu Wenmao, immediately put down their work and devoted themselves to the research of this proposition.
Unlike those students who were playing around, the two were not only serious professors of theoretical physics and mathematical physics, but they were also top scholars in their own fields.
Not only had the two cooperated in the international field and won many physics awards, but they were also regarded as one of the most competitive candidates for the Lu Zhou Physics Prize because of their outstanding contributions in the field of hyperspace.
Hao Zeyu walked to the side of Professor Lu Wenmao with a cup of hot tea. He pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I just went to the LSPM forum again."
Professor Lu Wenmao's index finger on the holographic screen paused slightly, and he cast a questioning look at him.
"Are there any new discoveries?"
Professor Hao Zeyu smiled and said, "If you are asking about academic discoveries, then not yet, but looking at the gossip discussed by netizens, I think it's quite interesting."
"When did you start to be interested in those boring things?"
"Boring? I don't think so. "Professor Hao Zeyu took a sip of the hot tea. He moistened his throat and continued," The stable oscillation of the Z particle can make space produce a stable curve. As early as a century ago, Lu Zhou proved this through mathematical methods. In 2043, under the guidance of Professor Luo Wenxuan, the ILHCRC successfully proved this through experiments …
"… It is now 2126, three and a half weeks have passed since the launch of the space elevator project. At this special point in time, Academician Lu, as the chief consultant of the space elevator project, suddenly shifted his attention from the geosynchronous orbit to the Z particle. Don't you think there may be something strange about this? "
After listening to his colleague's analysis, Professor Lu Wenmao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Now that I think about it …
There seems to be something.
"Tell me what you think?"
"It's just a guess." Professor Hao Zeyu said thoughtfully, "Based on my understanding of the Z particle, he probably didn't study things related to the space elevator during this time. Instead, he was studying the warp drive or something similar, and he almost succeeded."
A light flashed in Professor Lu Wenmao's eyes. He blurted out, "However, he is still missing the most critical key?"
"Yes." Professor Hao Zeyu smiled and nodded. "This key is the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle!"
He put his right hand on Professor Lu Wenmao's shoulder and continued with a bright smile on his face.
"So do you understand, my friend, we are engaged in a great cause, even greater than the space elevator, and this is something that only we theoreticians can do!
"If our Z particle wave equation promotes the birth of the warp drive, we will become the founders of the future era!
"And the greatest physicist of this century!
