However, in fact, whether it be Qiu Chengwen or Edward Witten, they no longer cared.
They were all Fields Medal winners and had become the nation’s top physicists and mathematicians. For them personally, winning a Nobel Prize in Physics no longer held much significance for their fame and careers.
By that time, they would still be engaged in theoretical research because there were no higher avenues available to them.
Meanwhile, other domestic scientists had also entered the list of Nobel Prize candidates, including two physicists from the Science Academy. However, everyone was well aware that they were only listed to make up the numbers and stood no real chance of winning.
In addition, an interesting piece of news was that Zhao Yi was also nominated to the list of candidates, only his category was for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Perhaps the Nobel Committee felt that since Zhao Yi did not accept scientific awards, he might accept the Peace Prize, which was not a scientific award?
Now, for the Nobel Committee and other awarding institutions, bestowing an award on Zhao Yi was an honor and would greatly enhance the prestige and value of their accolades.
The final point was the most discussed in public opinion, and everyone found it very interesting.
"Zhao Yi has become a candidate for the Peace Prize."
"The Peace Prize seems really interesting, purely as an entertainment award."
"Maybe the Nobel Committee was planning to break into the entertainment industry—watching Zhao Yi accept the Peace Prize could be seen as an entertainment show."
"Do you think Zhao Yi will accept it?"
It’s hard to say.
Zhao Yi himself didn’t know whether he would accept it, but the thought of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize was indeed an interesting and entertaining prospect.
The Nobel Committee had already done well, including Zhang Qican and Zhang Wei in the list, and even planning to hold the awards ceremony on domestic soil.
Perhaps he should give some face?
Zhao Yi deliberated.
Although the public extensively discussed it, few at the Z-wave base mentioned the Peace Prize, as many had long been aware that many top scientists were there, and no scientific news could escape their ears.
Even Zhao Yi himself had known very early that the Nobel Committee planned to award him the Peace Prize.
So there was nothing much to discuss.
Many were teasing Zhang Qican because the Physics Prize was highly prestigious, and Zhang Qican was still very young with a bright future ahead.
Many were also very envious because it was after all the Nobel Prize in Physics.
In recent years, the Nobel Prize has been widely criticized for some unfair aspects, impacting its influence negatively. Yet, being a century-old scientific award, it still held considerable sway.
The influence of Zhao’s Science Prize was also expanding continually, but as the newest award on the scene, it could not yet compare with the Nobel on a global scale.
The related news about the Nobel Prize was just a bit of entertainment during research.
The theoretical group remained very busy.
They had analyzed the technology for generating gravity based on the Voidon hypothesis, concluding that its fundamental principle was the channel of space connection, which related to space itself, similar to establishing a fully enclosed maglev corridor with a region inside it where space did not exist.
In the area contained by the generated gravity, Voidons would keep filling the non-spatial region and undergo massive annihilation.
At the same time, the space-connecting device would continuously create new Voidons to replenish the area.
The intensity of the generated gravity was determined by the speed of Voidon transitions within the covered area. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Zhao Yi summarized, "We can understand it like this, as if a tornado has formed in the middle, pulling all surrounding Voidons into it where they immediately annihilate."
"The space-connecting device itself keeps producing Voidons that enter the encompassed area."
"The strength of gravity is unrelated to the speed of Voidon production and also unrelated to the annihilation speed of Voidons. What it directly correlates with is the speed of Voidon transitions."
"The speed of Voidon transitions is related to the number of ’openings’ the non-spatial channel has to the outside."
"When spatial nodes are connected and intersect with the original space, there must inherently be an ’opening’, and likewise, the coverage area will also certainly have an ’opening’."
"This conclusion was derived theoretically; we don’t know if it’s correct, but as long as we find the position of the opening, we can confirm the hypothesis."
The ’opening’ Zhao Yi referred to in experiments indicates that the area affected by gravity is not completely sealed, there must inevitably be an opening — a spot that cannot be fully covered.
After Zhao Yi finished summarizing, the others also started discussing enthusiastically.
If everything is as the summary states, they could design experiments to locate the position of the ’opening’, and they even immediately thought of several experimental methods.
The final choice of experiment was the simplest —
Within a sealed experimental area, they observed the movement of colored suspended solid particles outside the gravity coverage zone.
——
The experimental design was quite straightforward, creating a space within a glass room filled with colored suspended solid particles, with a gravity generation device placed in the center.
Then, they turned on the device to observe.
Zhao Yi and other personnel watched from outside the glass room. In theory, if the gravity-affected area was completely covered, it wouldn’t affect the area outside the coverage.
When the device was officially activated, they observed something different. Above the periphery of the gravity coverage area, at one point, there was what seemed to be a ’leak’. Numerous suspended solid particles entered the area through this leak.
The people around immediately became excited, "Indeed, that’s the opening!"
"The gravity coverage isn’t completely sealed; there is a leak."
"This reminds me of the setup in ’Naruto’ about the Hyuuga branch family’s Cage Bird Seal, where there’s always a blind spot that Byakugan can’t see."
"It seems quite similar."
"Does this now prove that our theoretical deduction is correct?"
The answer to that question was not a hundred percent certain.
Zhao Yi said, "The experiment has proven our conclusion, but our theory may not be entirely correct. We can only say that our overall direction is right."
"To confirm the existence of Voidons, we must discover much more."
"However, in terms of gravitational technology, we have found the right direction."
The successful experiment was indeed very uplifting, and everyone became even more motivated.
What followed was continued research.
Their goal was not just to make theoretical deductions but to use the theory as a basis to improve gravity generation technology, thereby creating stronger gravitational forces.
At the meeting following the experiment, Zhao Yi summarized seriously, "We have completed the first step of our research, confirming the existence of an opening in the gravity region, which suggests that our explanation for the source of gravity is likely also correct."
"We have already concluded that the strength of gravity is directly linked to the space jump velocity of the Voidons, and the space jump velocity is related to the number of internal openings."
"Technically, we must increase the number of openings; the more there are, the faster the Voidon jump velocity, and the stronger the gravitational force created."
"So how are the internal openings formed? As everyone already knows, mathematically speaking, it comes down to the arrangement of prime numbers in tiers, leading to numerical gaps."
"It’s like a three-dimensional wave graph; Yanhua University’s Mathematical Center has confirmed that, under the assumption of finiteness, a three-dimensional wave graph will form a closed-loop logic that links end to end."
"This is a very important finding, and it is directly related to our research."
"Prime number tiered arrangement never ends; assuming finiteness is just that, an assumption. Because the coverage area is finite, there must inevitably be a gap."
"The gap is the opening."
"Digitally speaking, we need to close the tiered arrangement in order to create more openings."
