Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1291: Chapter 619 This is really a dreamy kingdom!_1

The next day, Edward Witten returned to his Princeton home.

With his luggage in hand, he stood at the garden fence, his expression grave and complex. He looked up at the door, hesitated for a long while, but still did not step forward—until a shout came from the window, "Edward, you’re back? What are you doing standing there? Come in quickly."

"Maria."

Edward Witten responded and briskly entered the door with his luggage.

Maria, Edward’s wife, was thin and her face was lined with wrinkles. She walked up to the door, took the luggage off his hands and placed it aside, then took a good look at Edward and muttered, "It’s always like this with you, not knowing to rest properly. Go to your room and sleep."

Edward had obvious dark circles under his eyes, appearing very tired.

"Understood."

Edward replied and sat down on the sofa, turning on the TV without really knowing what was on the screen. His mind was filled with Zhao Yi’s words.

He hadn’t rested well in the past two days, and there had been no progress in his research for a long time. It wasn’t a big issue—he wouldn’t have cared in the past.

But now it was different.

Zhao Yi’s research had been proven correct. Antigravity technology, Z-wave technology, including space shuttle experiments, were all based on theoretical physics. The initial research involved string theory, particle Boundary Theory, and superconducting antigravity.

Edward had conducted extensive research on all three theories, yet he was unable to use the theories to deduce anything.

If no one else had achieved it, he wouldn’t have cared.

But now that someone else had, a great door to a new system had been opened before him. If he entered, he was sure to discover many more novel things, including those solutions he had been unable to deduce.

String theory was the pursuit of his life.

Theoretical physics was the work Edward did, not just for himself, but also as a hereditary pursuit of his entire family.

Edward Witten was Jewish; his father was a theoretical physicist who specialized in the General Theory of Relativity.

In his youth, Edward Witten was somewhat rebellious. He disliked theoretical physics, and even physics in general, instead developing a fondness for literature. His favorite subjects had always been history and politics.

Due to various reasons, Edward took a big detour on his educational path but ended up following the same path as his father.

Abandoning literature for science, Edward, with his extraordinary talent, obtained his master’s degree without much effort and chose to pursue a doctorate quickly achieving it. freewёbnoνel.com

His advisor played a significant role in his success, and his advisor was also the renowned Nobel laureate in Physics—

David Gross.

Geniuses are different from ordinary people. After attaining his doctorate, Edward Witten became a junior researcher at Harvard University and was soon employed as a professor at Princeton University based on his achievements in Quantum Field Theory, devoting his main efforts to string theory research. He continued his work on superstring theory and, while researching physics, kept deriving profound mathematical theorems.

For instance, he explained the Chen-Simons theory using Jones polynomials, which had a profound impact on the structure of low-dimensional topology and led to the deduction of quantum invariants.

As a result, Witten was awarded the highest honor in the field of mathematics—

The Fields Medal!

Edward Witten became the first and, to date, the only physicist to win the Fields Medal.

Over the next twenty-plus years, Edward Witten continued his research in theoretical physics and was regarded as the foremost figure in string theory.

With such talent and accomplishments, Edward had long considered the study of theoretical physics as his life’s pursuit.

Despite his age, he remained devoted to the research in advanced physics, hoping to achieve even more results. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

A brand new theory of physics, one that could be transformed into tangible theoretical physics, held tremendous allure for Edward.

He could even cast everything aside for it.

But he couldn’t bring himself to leave behind his wife, Maria—a writer with a naïve and romantic temperament. Her career wasn’t particularly successful, but she managed the home well.

The two were college classmates and had walked through life together for decades.

Edward’s work kept him extremely busy, with most of his time invested in research. He had always wanted to take his wife traveling, but the opportunity had never come.

This was where Edward felt guilty.

As he sat on the sofa, looking back on the past, his thoughts grew even more complicated.

Maria came over and sat next to Edward, asking, "What’s wrong? Edward, you look strange."

"It’s nothing," Edward shook his head.

Maria continued to ask, "Did you gain anything this time? I know you wanted to discuss physics with Zhao Yi—the deeper kind. You must have met, right? I saw the news; it seems they established a foundation for an award, right?"

Edward listened but didn’t speak, and the atmosphere turned silent.

After a long time, Edward suddenly turned his head, looked at Maria seriously, and said, "If I make a decision that changes our lives, would you agree to it?"

Maria listened, puzzled, then thought carefully and tentatively asked, "Why do you say that so suddenly? I know you’ve always wanted to understand more profound physics and you hold Zhao Yi in high regard, but he wouldn’t have told you, would he? Although I don’t understand much, I know it might involve secrets, so you came back empty-handed, right?"
