Chapter 1149: Chapter 563: Academic Report Watched by Hundreds of Millions of People!_2
Mathematicians and physicists who did not get tickets felt very regretful, but they could still watch the Photon Anti-gravity Technology report via television.
This event could be described as the largest-scale, most widely viewed, and most influential academic report in human history.
Although only a little over five hundred people had tickets to attend, media from dozens of countries would be broadcasting the event live, and the broadcasts were slated to last for five days.
Before the Photon Anti-gravity Technology report even began, many media outlets had already claimed, "This will be a historic feast of math and physics." frёewebnoѵēl.com
"It is estimated that over three hundred million people globally will watch the report as it happens, with audience numbers potentially exceeding all previous Olympics opening ceremonies combined."
"This is the allure of science!"
"As the central figure of the report, the world’s top mathematician and physicist, Fields Medal and Wolf Prize laureate, the young Zhao Yi, will explain the anti-gravity technology that could lead to explosive scientific development, before an audience numbering in the billions..."
Saying this sentence alone was quite shocking.
In fact, it was just wishful thinking, as academic reports are not like sports events. Without a certain foundation, they would be incomprehensible, let alone the esoteric particle mathematics, which involves some ’unknown mathematics.’ Even college professors, scholars of that level, could not possibly keep up.
This level of difficulty was intended only for a select few.
Because of the buzzing public interest and the live broadcasts by media from dozens of countries, the Photon Anti-gravity Technology report would definitely draw a large audience initially, but normally, the numbers would drop exponentially, and perhaps by the second or third day, only a million or even just a few hundred thousand would remain.
A few hundred thousand was already an impressive figure, and among them, there would certainly be some who couldn’t understand and were merely turning on the TV to immerse themselves in ’high-level mathematics.’
The report was drawing near.
Yanhua University’s Mathematical Center had already gathered many of the top mathematicians and physicists from various countries.
As a group of very important scholars were participating in the Photon Anti-gravity Technology report, the area within two hundred meters of the Mathematical Center was heavily guarded. Unrelated individuals were kept out, and only staff from the organizing committee, invited scholars, and accredited journalists were permitted inside.
Everyone who arrived knew the magnitude of the report.
They all discussed it excitedly. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"This is truly the highest level of academic stage! Zhao Yi, the leading mathematician, and rightly so!"
"Actually, as soon as I heard about the anti-gravity device, I knew it had to be related to Zhao Yi. He’s the only one who could develop such era-surpassing technology!"
"Photons, anti-gravity, it’s unimaginable! On the plane, I kept thinking, what if photons could produce an anti-gravity effect? Then, would there be an error in our calculated mass of stars? Because the sun has so many photons, some of them must produce an anti-gravity effect, which could interfere with gravity to a certain extent..."
This statement sparked a large amount of discussion.
Many people brought up their viewpoints and engaged in discussion.
Upon deeper consideration, they concluded the issue was worth studying, but the result was definite—
the number of photons inside a star was uncountable, and it was inevitable that some, by coincidence, would exhibit anti-gravity properties, yet they would certainly not affect the total mass of a star.
But why?
Many argued back and forth, unable to convince one another.
Finally, Zhao Yi appeared at the venue, and immediately a crowd surrounded him, "Zhao Yi, the report doesn’t start until tomorrow, but today, can you talk about this problem? If photons can have anti-gravity properties, why doesn’t it affect the sun’s mass?"
"Of course, it doesn’t affect it!"
Zhao Yi chuckled upon hearing the question. He felt very gratified. The Photon Anti-gravity Theory was only a slice of the foundation, explaining the technology itself, but as for what ’anti-gravity properties’ were, the only description was the interruption of gravitational waves.
Because the published theory was just a part of the foundation and the explanation was incomplete, the question of ’anti-gravity leading to unchanged stellar mass’ arose.
He provided an explanation, "The principle of anti-gravity technology is to block gravitational waves. Here, I’ll share a bit more; the anti-gravity devices we studied function by creating a sectional plane that blocks gravitational waves. While the waves are interrupted, the plane itself does not affect the mass of objects."
"Inside the sun, where it’s uncontrolled, the chances of forming a large anti-gravity sectional plane are incredibly, incredibly slim. It’s practically impossible."
After explaining, Zhao Yi added, "This is my understanding, but it may not be correct because the research on anti-gravity is just beginning. There will surely be more in-depth studies and deeper theoretical analyses in the future."
The people surrounding him nodded as they listened.
In the Photon Anti-gravity Theory, most of it was mathematical logic, with few explanations correlated to reality. Most people did not know that anti-gravity technology formed a sectional plane that cuts off gravitational waves.
They finally had an epiphany!
So that’s how it was!
"Attending the report was the right choice. I must pay attention to what Zhao Yi says, as any single sentence might reveal a great secret!"
