Chapter 1150: Chapter 563: Academic Report Watched by Hundreds of Millions of People!_3
Many people were thinking this.
Zhao Yi had actually given an ’abridged’ explanation; outwardly, the reason certainly is to form a cross-section that blocks gravitational waves, but in fact, the most basic principle of antigravity is to create a space barrier within a certain range, which is the interaction between photons and space, forming an area that ’reduces the squeeze of space on mass points’.
Since the principle of antigravity is related to the interaction with space, it is naturally independent of mass. The antigravity effect can be produced, but it is more noticeable due to Earth’s large mass and close proximity.
That was all.
Zhao Yi couldn’t possibly disclose more in-depth content; he was merely there to give a basic report and explain some of the mathematical theories behind antigravity.
...
On the day of the report.
The Mathematical Center was already packed early on, with each person who came being a renowned name in the world.
The main venue gathered a large number of top figures in mathematics and physics.
Among them were fourteen Fields Medalists, including Edward Witten, Qiu Chengwen, Andrei Okunkov, Wendelin Werner, Elon Lindenstrauss, Manuel Bhargava, Martin Hairer, Maryam Mirzakhani, Peter Scholze, Caucher Birkar...
And so on.
There were also nine Nobel Prize winners in Physics, with the others being world-class experts in mathematics, quantum physics, and high energy physics.
Many media outlets broadcasting live would exclaim, "This is the most influential and high-quality academic report in history, with each participant being a big name!"
"Of course!"
"But the most prestigious and influential of all is the soon-to-be speaker, Zhao Yi!"
"In the past seven years, Zhao Yi’s name has echoed throughout the mathematics and physics community; he has solved a series of mathematical problems including the Goldbach Conjecture, Fermat’s Last Theorem, the NP problem, the Hail Conjecture, as well as creating his own Boundary Theory in particle physics, founding his own school of theoretical physics."
"We believe that from today onwards, the Boundary Theory of particles will become the foremost discipline in theoretical physics, as the antigravity technology developed by several individuals is based on the research of particle Boundary Theory."
In fact, this was not the case.
The host’s explanation was not entirely correct; the foundation of the Photon Anti-gravity Theory was the research on superconducting antigravity experiments, and only applied certain definitive mathematical conclusions from Boundary Theory and string theory, while the rest was independent mathematical research.
Of course.
Boundary Theory happened to be Zhao Yi’s renowned field in theoretical physics, and Photon Anti-gravity Theory would almost certainly be linked to Boundary Theory, at least in the eyes of ordinary people.
Several people had to participate.
In the backstage of the main venue.
Zhao Yi was already preparing, but he was not preparing for his own presentation; instead, he was encouraging Ruan Wenye, "No problem, Brother Ruan, don’t be nervous, just treat it as a normal presentation!"
"You just need to explain the basics, and there won’t be any problems!"
"Everything is ready."
The explanation of Photon Anti-gravity Theory would take three days, with Zhao Yi and Ruan Wenye as the main speakers, and seven other experts assisting with the explanation and answering some of the questions that could be addressed.
Initially, they only wanted Zhao Yi to give the presentation, but as people like Huang Zhong and Zhang Qican had participated in the theoretical research of antigravity without being exposed to the public, there was no necessity to put them in the spotlight considering confidentiality.
Ruan Wenye was a different case.
Ruan Wenye was a well-known quantum physics expert, and as the head of the domestic particle collision team, he was notable even on an international level.
Even if he hadn’t been exposed as a participant in the research, his work reassignment was public knowledge, so the world knew he was involved in antigravity research.
Ruan Wenye simply stepped forward, sharing the responsibility of reporting with Zhao Yi.
At that moment, Ruan Wenye was very nervous.
When he thought about how many Fields and Nobel laureates would sit below listening to him explain, and that over a hundred million people would be watching the live broadcast, his legs shook with nerves.
Although he considered himself accustomed to big events, this occasion still felt too grand.
Ruan Wenye tentatively asked Zhao Yi, "Can’t you start off? You go first..."
"It’s all planned!"
Zhao Yi said, "This afternoon’s explanation will touch on some key points, and I am concerned you might..."
He shook his head as he spoke.
Ruan Wenye’s understanding of Photon Anti-gravity Theory was still inferior to that of Zhang Qican and Huang Zhong. During the explanation of key points, he might inadvertently reveal some information that needed to remain confidential.
Therefore, the key points had to be presented by Zhao Yi; he had been involved in the research from the beginning, could explain everything clearly, and wouldn’t disclose any sensitive information.
In the end, Ruan Wenye went on stage with his nerves on edge. He feigned calmness as he walked up, took a deep breath at the podium, and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Ruan Wenye, one of the researchers of Photon Anti-gravity Theory. I will now explain the most basic parts of the theory." freeweɓnøvel.com
He said this all in one breath, but facing a multitude of skeptical stares from the audience, Ruan Wenye’s heart trembled with them.
Those stares seemed to say, "Who are you? We’ve never heard of you, get off the stage!"
"Let Zhao Yi do it!"
"We want to hear Zhao Yi speak!"
"..."
Ruan Wenye almost wanted to walk off the stage, but he knew that hundreds of millions were watching, and couldn’t afford to embarrass himself, or it would be a blot on his life.
Still feigning calmness, he began the basic explanation of Photon Anti-gravity Theory.
