Chapter 398: Chapter 255: You Will Become One of the Main Characters in My New Book_2
His fondness for Ruan Wenye had increased significantly.
However, it’s not easy to find a top quantum physics expert to help. If Ruan Wenye is not capable enough, the other members of the team definitely won’t be either.
So, who to look for?
Zhao Yi really didn’t know many people here, let alone top quantum physics experts.
Person by person passed through his mind, should he go to Edmir?
He was on good terms with the guy, but he didn’t know about his character. His motto ’taking money without doing any work’ was something he took pleasure in reciting to everyone...
Forget it!
Edmir was indeed not suitable. Putting aside his capability, he worked at a collider research center, which was too far from the small town. It was not easy to make a trip there, requiring various applications to be made.
Recently, Edmir must’ve been very busy and definitely couldn’t spare any time.
So, who to find?
Zhao Yi strolled down the town’s streets. The roadside was already covered with heavy snow, the world was blanketed in white. The cold environment was actually quite an interesting experience.
Afar.
An old man was walking over, leading a dog. His walk was a bit comical, his entire body moving, except for the hand holding the leash. Even when the dog was pulling him, he would force himself to keep his hand still.
The scene looked rather strange.
When the old man got closer, Zhao Yi quickly recognized him, "Mr. Kibor?"
"Call me Tom."
Kibor corrected Zhao Yi’s form of address as he approached.
"Tom..."
Zhao Yi squeezed the name out through gritted teeth, whenever he thought of Tom’s name, a cartoon always came to mind--
"Tom and Jerry"?
An old cat leading a dog, it looked even stranger now. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Kibor noticed Zhao Yi consistently focused on his still hand and immediately laughed, "You noticed it?"
"What?"
"As I thought, with the eye that can shape a waveform diagram, the perspective is definitely different from others."
Kibor earnestly said, "When I came out, I told others that even though I’m leading Tyger, oh, his name is Tyger."
’His name sounds more human than yours.’
Zhao Yi thought, forcing a smirk.
Kibor continued, "Yes, I’m leading him, that’s what you see, that’s also what I see. But what the eye sees may not necessarily be the truth."
’So are you saying he’s leading you?’
Zhao Yi continued to retort in his mind.
Kibor said, "Now, the position where you and I are standing as well as where Tyger is, seems to be on the ground. But in actuality, we may not be in the same space. Multidimensional space does not necessarily refer to the universe, it may also be present in our daily lives."
"The distance between Tyger and I is only one meter, that’s what our eyes see. Maybe our distance is ten meters, hundreds of meters, hundreds of kilometers, who knows? Because we might not exist in the same space, it’s just because of some kind of thing that the space is connected, allowing us to be connected by a leash."
"My latest research is trying to prove this. That’s why I’ve been holding the leash unflinchingly, closely experiencing the feel of multidimensional space."
"..."
Zhao Yi stood there stunned for a good while, then nodded and counter-questioned, "You mean, we’re not necessarily living in a three-dimensional space, but perhaps in a multidimensional space?"
Kibor carefully watched Zhao Yi, his mouth forming a tight-lipped nod. His eyes were practically saying ’the student shows promise.’
Zhao Yi took a deep breath.
Just now, he was thinking about asking Kibor to guide his research, but now he realizes his idea was a bit naive.
This old man was already done for.
There was a one in a billion chance that the old man’s idea was correct, but clearly he couldn’t keep up with his train of thought at the moment.
He simply gave the old man a path, just about to say, "Please!"
"Go ahead!"
Kibor stopped in his tracks, perhaps relishing the chance for conversation. He stared cautiously at Zhao Yi and asked, "What’s bothering you? I noticed you frowning earlier. It reminded me of myself when I was young, constantly consumed by my research."
Zhao Yi pressed his lips together, staying silent.
"Are you actually caught up in your research? But I recall you stating yesterday that you had finished your work." Kibor seemed genuinely curious.
Zhao Yi begrudged that Kibor, no doubt due to his worldly experience, was capable of discerning his troubled thoughts towards his research. He admitted forthrightly, "I aim to design a program to search for the Higgs particle."
"Oh really? Care to elaborate?" Kibor became interested.
Zhao Yi found it strange, "You claimed it was impossible to find the Higgs particle when I asked you about it yesterday."
"Indeed, that’s what I said!"
"And now?"
"I still believe it’s impossible. I just want to observe how you plan to do it. Observing how others fail can be quite amusing." Kibor laughed heartily.
"..."
Zhao Yi found himself struggling to suppress the urge to throw a fit. If not for his extraordinary patience, he might have been dangerously irked by the old man before him. Nevertheless, he explained, "I hope to filter out photon pairs, which could potentially be the result of the decay of the Higgs particle. Then I will analyze the data. There might be evidence supporting the existence of the Higgs particle."
"That’s an interesting idea."
Kibor nodded, "Previously, the nuclear organization also analyzed overall data, particularly photon data, but they didn’t particularly analyze high-energy photon pairs, let alone filter them for analysis." He shook his head, obviously skeptical of Zhao Yi’s method.
Essentially, there’s nothing extraordinary about Zhao Yi’s approach. Anyone could come up with it, but executing it is the challenge.
If all high-energy photon pairs were analyzed, the small number of Higgs particles would yield no significant results.
It’s all about perspective.
As it stands, the Higgs particle only exists in theoretical particle models, and its existence is still uncertain. Even if it did exist, theoretical testing would produce few particles if any, certainly not enough to be detectable.
That’s why nobody would invest significant efforts in an endeavor they believe has ’over a 99% chance of not yielding any results’.
Moreover, not everyone is skilled in the filtering method.
Even though reducing the data increases the chance of detecting Higgs particles, it is still a significant challenge to reduce the dataset.
Zhao Yi doesn’t have these problems.
Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering is an algorithm designed by Zhao Yi. He is utterly convinced that the Higgs particle exists, and he knows its mass.
That’s why he came up with this approach.
After commenting on Zhao Yi’s methodology, Kibor asked, "When you’ve figured out how to do it, what is there to worry about?"
What is there to worry about?
Of course, it’s worrying about not having the guidance of a quantum physics expert!
Zhao Yi shook his head and said candidly, "I am not deeply experienced in quantum physics research (I’ve never even touched it), and I am uncertain about how to design a filtering mechanism."
"Well, I can help you with that!"
Kibor said spiritedly. There was a sparkle in his eyes as he spoke, "I happen to have some free time, and I wanted to write an autobiography detailing how young, brilliant physicists wasted their time and youth on research destined to fail."
"You’ll certainly be one of the main characters in my new book!"
"Especially given your fame, your appearance in my book could attract more readers." freēwēbnovel.com
"..."
This old man... is unbelievable!
If it were a younger guy, Zhao Yi might have slapped him out of pure irritation. Is this any way to talk to someone?
Wants to see me fail?
Wants to see how I waste my youth on doomed research?
Now wants to write an autobiography about it!
Zhao Yi took a deep breath. He figured he shouldn’t be arguing with a delusional old man, but he couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Gritting his teeth, he nodded and said, "Fine! Watch me then!"
Kibor’s thoughts seemed clear-cut, "The precondition is, if you fail, you must agree to let me include you in my book."
"No problem!"
"Agreement reached!"
"Agreement... damn it!"
