This year's New Year was no different from previous years.
Visiting relatives, paying New Year's greetings to the elderly, joking around with peers, and …
Being urged by the elders to find a partner.
Lu Zhou had no choice. It was Chinese New Year, and he had to find something to talk about with the younger generation. There was nothing much to say about Lu Zhou's studies. He was already doing well enough to get into a university, and now he was going to study abroad. As for getting married, it was still a bit early. After all, he was only 21 years old, one year away from the legal age of marriage.
However, he could still urge him to find a partner.
Even if he couldn't get married, he could still prepare for it.
In short, this year was the same as previous years. Lu Zhou had a lively New Year.
However, leisure time was always short.
After the Lantern Festival, Lu Zhou packed his luggage and hurried back to school.
Old Lu took a day off from work and walked Lu Zhou to the train station. He looked at his son and smiled.
He looked at his son and smiled, "Do you want me to send you back?"
"No need, it's not my first time traveling." Lu Zhou tightened his backpack and smiled as he said, "Remember to take care of yourself. I'll come back to see you guys next year."
Old Lu nodded and said, "Okay then, be careful. Also, you too, be careful when you're out there. I saw the news, there seems to be a war over there? Don't mess with people. Focus on your studies and remember to call back often … Go. "
"Okay!"
In his father's world, there were only two concepts: China and foreign countries. It was not strange for him to associate Princeton with a hotel in Jinling. It was not strange for him to confuse North America and North Africa.
Lu Zhou was already used to his father's geographical knowledge.
Only Xiao Tong still had the energy to complain.
Lu Zhou got on the train and headed east. He returned to the Jin Ling University campus.
Because the Lantern Festival was over, students began to return to school, and there were more people on campus.
The day before he returned to school, Lu Zhou had already found out from Yan Xinjue's WeChat friend circle that Professor Lu had returned to China. Therefore, he greeted the old man on WeChat and went straight to his office.
…
Lu Zhou stood at the office door and knocked on the door.
Soon, a voice came from behind the door.
"Stop knocking, just come in."
Hearing this voice, Lu Zhou pushed the door open and walked in.
When Academician Lu saw Lu Zhou appear at the door, he put down the vacuum flask in his hand and said with a smile, "Yo, long time no see. How are you?"
It had been a long time. After the China Mathematics Society meeting in October, Professor Lu went to Brussels for a meeting. He had only just returned.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Not bad. What about you, Professor?"
Professor Lu Shenjian: "Me too. Even though it's not the end of the year, I still gained something from this trip to Brussels."
Lu Zhou walked in front of his desk and casually asked, "Any new discoveries in theoretical physics?"
During this time, he had basically been researching Goldbach's conjecture and learning how to drive. Other than replying to Professor Frank's emails, he basically did not pay attention to the theoretical physics community.
"There aren't any new discoveries. This meeting is mainly to sort out the work that has been done before." Professor Lu Shenjian paused for a second before he continued, "But there is one thing that you might be interested in. At the theoretical physics conference at the University of Brussels, we discussed the 750 GeV characteristic peak … Although the situation doesn't seem very optimistic."
Lu Zhou was really interested in this matter, so he immediately asked, "Can you tell me the specific situation?"
Professor Lu Shenjian nodded and said, "The specific situation isn't much. It's just that the most important indicator, the confidence level, hasn't reached the standard to confirm the sign. Although it's close to 3 sigma, it's always a little bit away from a breakthrough. Also, in a few experiments not long ago, there was even a disappearance of the characteristic peak. "
Lu Zhou slightly paused for a second and said, "Disappeared?"
He had never heard Mr. Frank mention anything about it in the mail.
Professor Lu Shenjian had a dignified expression as he nodded thoughtfully, "Yes … Although it's not impossible to explain with quantum fluctuations, such a sudden fluctuation change is really rare. Some people speculate that it might be a problem with the detector's sensitivity, some people speculate that the instrument may have malfunctioned during the experiment last year … But to be honest, the possibility of this is very small. CERN just completed the upgrade of the Hadron Collider and started the search for pentaquark particles. Even if there was a problem, it is unlikely to be with the instrument. "
Lu Zhou thought about the things he had been researching and thought for a moment. He then asked in an uncertain tone, "Could it be a dimensional problem?"
This was one of his guesses, and it was also where he and Professor Frank had a disagreement.
When Professor Lu Shenjian heard this question, he frowned and said, "Dimension?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said in an uncertain tone, "Yes, but not in a broad sense. It's a 'pseudo-Euclidean space' dimension, which is the time axis in Minkowski spacetime theory …"
Lu Zhou wrote down a few formulas on the draft paper, but he did not dare to write too much.
It was not that he was hiding it, but it was because of academic ethics. He could not unilaterally disclose research progress to a third party without consulting the other collaborator.
As for the things he wrote down, they were the parts that the two did not reach a consensus on, and he figured it out himself. Therefore, there was no such problem.
Professor Lu Shenjian looked at the formulas on the draft paper and did not make a subjective denial. Instead, he thought for a while before he slowly said, "This is indeed possible, but it is difficult to verify. Because both we and the collider are part of the reference system, it is difficult to remove ourselves from the time axis, even under ideal conditions … Also, you haven't perfected this theory yet, right?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said vaguely, "I just thought of it on the spot, I haven't perfected it yet."
"It's good that you can come up with so many things on the spot," Professor Lu Shenjian said. He looked at Lu Zhou and nodded with approval. He paused for a second and said, "You don't have to feel too much pressure. Finding the characteristic peak is CERN's task, you don't have to be responsible for your own discovery. The development of theoretical physics itself is constantly advancing through trial and error. All of our unproven theories are speculations about the future. "
"However, your point of view is quite interesting. It would be better if you could perfect the theory," Professor Lu Shenjian said with a smile. He then said, "I originally wanted to give you a test to see how you've been studying this year. But now, it seems that even if I did prepare, it would be unnecessary. "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Why would it be unnecessary …"
Professor Lu Shenjian smiled and said, "Oh? Then why don't you wait for a couple of days, and I'll write a test paper for you? "
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "Forget about it."
He had already bought a plane ticket. Who knew how many days Professor Lu Shenjian would have to wait for?
Professor Lu Shenjian smiled and did not say anything.
He opened the drawer and took out two notebooks. He then gently handed them to Lu Zhou.
"Your degree certificate and graduation certificate are both here. I've already done all the necessary procedures for you two days ago. You just need to go to the administrative building later and settle the student registration."
Lu Zhou took the diploma and degree certificate from Professor Lu Shenjian and said solemnly, "Thank you, professor!"
