Free Web NovelChapter 381: Chapter 249: The Biggest Scandal in the Physics World_2
The report of the D section data began with an explanation of the validation of the overall data, outlining the methodology used in the validation process, and the analysis of each data segment.
It concluded with the results of the validation.
The validation results from the California Institute of Technology were the same as the results validated by the French team last year. They used a novel approach, but, no matter the method, the proof process will not be given much importance unless it proves a theoretical model of a particle to be wrong. Normally, few would care about the specifics of the validation because they already know the result.
Only domestic teams care about the validation process.
If the team from the California Institute of Technology finishes their validation faster than them, they certainly could not say it was due to a mere coincidence, especially with the same results as last time.
That’s why everyone listened earnestly.
The one who gave the report on the stage was a student of Professor Beileifen, named Kasha Randall, who was not considered strikingly beautiful, but her excellent figure made her a goddess within the physicist community. She animatedly explained the validation process and presented her report clearly for everyone to hear.
If you were to look at it from a neutral standpoint, you would definitely be impressed by Kasha.
She was a distinguished and profound woman.
Zhao Yi listened attentively from the stage below.
He did not understand most of what Kasha was saying because it involved many highly specialized topics that were difficult to comprehend in a short time.
"If only there was a function to directly feed knowledge into the system," Zhao Yi sighed helplessly. Fortunately, he had Chen Ming beside him to ask any crucial questions.
Chen Ming would whisper simple explanations in response.
In reality, it is unlikely for any expert quantum physicist to pinpoint any issue after hearing the report just once, even if it is deemed professional. This is because the data being discussed has been calculated.
Is the calculation correct or incorrect?
It’s a calculation that takes a long time to complete. Every result delivered on stage by Kasha was calculated by professional personnel over a long period of time.
No one on the spot can instantly tell whether the results are correct; they can only analyse on logic.
Clear logical reasoning, correct validation results, it is basically impossible to find any issues.
After one and a half hours, Kasha finished her talk. She smiled and bowed to the audience below – it was now time for questions.
Since the validation result was the same as the French team’s, hardly anyone would ask real questions. The upcoming report about the singularity was what the audience was really interested in.
Some reports on the singularity might even be considered more important than the whole validation process.
This is like finding a gem while mining. The value of the gem may be greater than all the ore mine.
"Any questions?" Kasha asked the audience.
Her teacher Beileifen arrogantly glanced towards Ruan Wenye not too far away. There was a look of triumph on his face. He wasn’t only proud that their validation was completed faster, he was also proud of his student Kasha, who was attractive, classy, and academically capable. It was rare to find such women
A Randall confidently delivereing a speech on stage at a gathering like this, fully composed without any stage fright, was quite a notable thing.
Just as Kasha thought there were no questions and was about to end the discussion and step down from the stage, a hand was suddenly raised from the back row.
"I have a question!"
Zhao Yi shouted and stood up. He held in his hand the validation report from the California Institute of Technology and said, "There’s an issue with the result on page 31, line 5 of your validation report. Can you provide a detailed calculation?"
"Whoa!"
The rest of the venue began to buzz with conversation immediately.
Many validation reports were delivered at the venue in the past, but not many questioned the calculation data in the verification report. This was because every data result had been calculated over a long period of time.
As long as the final calculation data makes sense in its entirety, no doubts would be raised.
Right now the D section data is being validated for the second time. Questioning the calculation results during the validation process is pretty much accusing the validation process of being fraudulent.
It’s like saying, "Even the data in the calculation process are wrong, how on earth did you get the correct result?"
If a key data is wrong, the validation process is undoubtedly fabricated.
Zhao Yi didn’t finish his doubt, "There’s also line 4 on page 37, and line 5 on page 39."
"I think there’s a problem with these results."
Zhao Yi could certainly confirm.
He couldn’t understand this report, but the Supervision Law directly fed back three problems. The complexity of these calculations directly led him to the conclusion that the result was incorrect.
Kasha felt thoroughly insulted by Zhao Yi’s words.
She didn’t know who Zhao Yi was, but it was clear that he was from the Chinese team, and he looked to be in his twenties. To think that such an unknown figure would dare to question their validation data! Did he know what he was saying!
Kasha was very angry.
Everyone in the team from California Institute of Technology was angry. One of the young members angrily stood up, pointed towards Zhao Yi and bellowed, "Do you know what you’re talking about? Our calculation data is wrong? Who do you think you are?"
"Your words are an insult to our team!" After saying this he turned to Kasha, "Ignore him, we’ve already finished our validation, he’s just annoyed that his team wasn’t as fast as ours. He’s only causing trouble on purpose."
"Do you know how long it takes to calculate results on site?
His outcry did not get the response he imagined.
Some people in the hall began to flip to the three positions pointed out by Zhao Yi, to have a look in depth.
Among them was Professor Beileifen of the California Institute of Technology.
"Bob, sit down!"
A man beside Bob pulled at his sleeve and hurriedly asked him to sit down. Kasha on stage was somewhat at a loss.
Someone in the front row explained, "That’s Zhao Yi!"
"Although he doesn’t have much say in physics research, if it involves mathematical calculations, I believe there are few people here who can compare with him... even none."
If those who professionally research quantum physics were to compete in mathematical calculation with someone who uses number theory and even won the Fields Medal...
Isn’t that a joke!
Even if the calculation result is questioned, or even brought to the point of research fraud, they must recalculate it once before they can confidently say that Zhao Yi is wrong.
The hall suddenly became quiet. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Kasha stood on the stage, at a loss. But, no one was paying attention to her anymore. Many eyes were glued to Professor Beileifen from the California Institute of Technology.
Professor Beileifen stared at the content of the report intensively. He couldn’t tell if the results were correct in such a short time. So, frowning, he turned to Bob, "Bob, you were responsible for these three parts, right? Get on stage and calculate them again."
Bob stood up again.
He walked over slowly, replacing Kasha on the stage. His hand held the report and he was noticeably very nervous.
Professor Beileifen frowned, but still encouraged him, "Don’t worry, Bob. Just like usual, go over how you performed the calculations. Make sure the process is clear." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Yes, Professor."
Bob replied. Yet he was so slow that people in the front row could notice his hand trembling.
The audience was in an uproar.
Could it be that there really was a problem with the calculation data?
Fraudulent research report!
This could become the biggest joke, and scandal, of the physics community this year.
